Q1Which of the following Amendment Acts provided reservation of seats for women in Urban Local Bodies?
Explanation
The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act gave constitutional status to Urban Local Bodies and inserted Part IX-A into the Constitution. It provided for municipalities and included reservation of seats for women, along with reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The 73rd Amendment is similar in spirit but applies to Panchayati Raj institutions in rural areas, not urban bodies. The 65th Amendment concerned the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, while the 68th Amendment dealt with the extension of President’s Rule in Punjab.
