Answer 1

Answer:

B. Article 40

• Article 40 of the Indian Constitution, a Directive Principle of State Policy, calls upon the State to organize village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government. The 73rd Amendment Act was enacted to give constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions, thereby fulfilling the spirit of Article 40.
