II. Panchayat elections in every 5 years: This provision ensures regular and timely elections for Panchayati Raj Institutions. This allows for the democratic participation of citizens in the decision-making process.

III. Not less than 33% of seats are reserved for women: This provision aims to empower women in local governance by reserving a minimum of 33% of seats for them. This encourages gender equality and ensures women`s representation in decision-making bodies.

IV. Constitution of district planning committees to prepare development plans: This provision establishes district planning committees, which are responsible for developing plans for economic development and social justice at the district level. These committees play a crucial role in ensuring balanced and inclusive development.
