Question

According to the 73rd Constitutional Amendment, the Panchayati Raj Institution is divided into how many tier system?

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Hint:

Village, block and district make the structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the number of levels in the Panchayati Raj system under the 73rd Amendment.

Step 2: Recall the facts.
The 73rd Amendment Act of 1992 gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj. It set up a three-tier system: the village level, the intermediate or block level, and the district level.

Step 3: Check option 1, Two.
Two tiers would be too few. States with a population below 20 lakh may skip the intermediate tier, but that is an exception, not the general rule. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2, Three.
Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad make three tiers. So option 2 is right.

Step 5: Check options 3 and 4.
Four or five tiers are not given by the Amendment, so both are wrong.

Final Answer:
The system has three tiers, option 2. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2: Three}} \]
