Q1. By which Indian Constitutional Amendment was the Gram Sabha given constitutional status?
Explanation
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment, 1992 gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions and placed Gram Sabha within that framework through Part IX of the Constitution. The 72nd Amendment dealt with reservation of seats for Scheduled Tribes in the Tripura Legislative Assembly, not Gram Sabha. The 74th Amendment created the constitutional framework for municipalities and urban local bodies. The 75th Amendment concerned rent control tribunals. Therefore, the amendment linked to Gram Sabha and rural local self-government is the 73rd.
