RAS question

In which year was the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act enacted?

Correct answer: (A) 1994.

The Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act is the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994.

  1. (A)

    1994

  2. (B)

    1992

  3. (C)

    1996

  4. (D)

    2000

Explanation

The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly identifies the parent law as the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, and further labels it Act No. 13 of 1994. That makes 1994 the legally supported year. The Act also belongs in the 73rd Constitutional Amendment context: Rajasthan was among the early states to give effect to the new Panchayati Raj framework. The Act's year must be separated from later amendments and surrounding constitutional milestones. Since the official Assembly material repeatedly refers to the 1994 Act, 1994 is the legally supported year for the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (B) 1992 is wrong because the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act is the 1994 Act, not a 1992 Act.
  • (C) 1996 is wrong because the statute is the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 and Act No. 13 of 1994.
  • (D) 2000 is wrong because the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act's year is 1994.

Concept

Rajasthan polity includes Panchayati Raj and local self-government legislation. Act years anchor institutional provisions, eligibility rules and later amendments in RAS preparation.
