Then Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh declared the first National Panchayati Raj Day on 24th April 2010.

The Constitution of India recognizes Panchayats as ‘Institutions of self-government’. It permits states to take steps to organize village panchayats and provide them with necessary powers and authority to help them to function as units of self-government. |
