Which one of the following is not a level in the three-tier Panchayati Raj recommended by Balwant Rai Mehta Committee ?
Explanation
The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee, appointed in 1957, recommended a three-tier Panchayati Raj system to achieve democratic decentralization. The three tiers are:
- Gram Panchayat at the village level (directly elected representatives).
- Panchayat Samiti at the block level (the intermediate tier, serving as the executive body).
- Zilla Parishad (or Zilla Panchayat) at the district level (the apex tier, serving as an advisory and supervisory body).
Nyaya Panchayat, which is a system for dispute resolution at the village level, was not recommended as a specific level within the three-tier administrative structure by the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee. Although Nyaya Panchayats were discussed by later committees like the Ashok Mehta Committee (1977), they were not part of the original three-tier model proposed in 1957.
