Explanation

The evolution of Panchayati Raj in India is marked by several key committees. The Balwantrai Mehta Committee (1957) recommended a three-tier system consisting of the Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti, and Gram Panchayat [4]. The Ashok Mehta Committee (1977) proposed replacing this with a two-tier system comprising the Zilla Parishad at the district level and the Mandal Panchayat for a group of villages [5]. The G.V.K. Rao Committee (1985) focused on administrative aspects, recommending the creation of the post of District Development Commissioner to act as the chief executive of the Zilla Parishad. Finally, the L.M. Singhvi Committee (1986) was instrumental in recommending that Panchayati Raj institutions be constitutionally recognized to ensure their stability and continuity [2]. Matching these recommendations leads to the sequence A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1.
