    The Panchayati Raj System was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on October 2, 1959, in Nagaur, Rajasthan. This three-tier administrative structure was designed to develop local self-governments at district, zone, and village levels. Several committees were appointed to develop and refine this system over time, including the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee, Ashok Mehta Committee, G.V.K. Rao Committee, and L.M. Singhvi Committee.
