Explanation

The 11th Schedule of the Constitution of India, added by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992, distributes powers and functional responsibilities between the State Legislatures and the Panchayats [2]. Article 243G specifically empowers the Legislature of a State to endow Panchayats with such authority as necessary to function as institutions of self-government [1]. This includes the devolution of powers regarding the preparation and implementation of plans for economic development and social justice concerning the 29 functional items listed in the Eleventh Schedule [4]. These items include agriculture, land improvement, and rural housing, among others [4]. While the Gram Sabha forms the foundation of the system, the formal distribution of legislative and executive competence over these 29 subjects is a matter of devolution from the State Legislature to the various levels of Panchayats.
