Abstract

The first step towards organizing the panchayats in the state took place in 1948 with the promulgation of Panchayati Raj Ordinance. But the Panchayati Raj (PR) system was established on a sound basis of the Rajasthan Gram Panchayat Act, 1953 and the Rajasthan Panchayat Samiti and Zilla Parishad Act, 1959. Rajasthan is the first state to introduce PR in accordance with the recommendations of the Balwantrai Mehta Study Team. The scheme of democratic decentralization was inaugurated by Shri Jawaharlal Nehru on October 2, 1959 at Nagaur. It pioneered the adoption of a three tier PR system with gram panchayats (GP), panchayat samitis (PS) and zilla parishads (ZP) functioning as parts of an interlocked institutional structure.
