Correct:
A
Explanation
Article 243ZD of the Constitution of India, inserted via the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, mandates the constitution of a District Planning Committee (DPC) at the district level in every State.
- Function: The primary role of the DPC is to consolidate the plans prepared by the Panchayats and the Municipalities in the district and to prepare a draft development plan for the district as a whole.
- Composition: The State Legislature determines the composition, but the law requires that at least four-fifths of the members of such committees be elected by the elected members of the district panchayat and municipalities in the district.
Regarding other options: Article 243ZB deals with the application of Part IXA to Union Territories; Article 243ZE provides for Metropolitan Planning Committees; and Article 243ZC specifies areas where Part IXA does not apply.
