Social and Inclusive Democracy through the improvement of women and weaker Sections

Though India has got a homogenous bog standard immanent fabric of Panchayati Raj
institutions all through but the attribute of Panchayats in almost every state and their
procedural requirements for elections face a major incongruity in each state. 73rd Amendment
of Constitution of India has sought in action a 3 tier Panchayat mechanism and also provides
set norms for reservation, duration and disqualification of members. B R Mehta Committee
recommended the establishment of the scheme of “ Democratic Decentralization” which is
also known as Panchayati Raj and further accentuated by highlighting the concept of
improvement of women and weaker sections that they should not only be the legatee of
progress phenomenon but also be the correspondent contributors of development. Although
in rural India the reservation of 33 % which women as one of the major suppressed sections
are getting has proved to be a major esteem promoter but the men in the village are yet to
restore harmony between their thoughts and actions with women’s new standing. In medieval
times more emphasis was laid on allied sectors for the development of nation but it was
steadily realized that only this sort of ideology is not enough but the all round development of
the nation can only be possible through the headway buildout of the rural India. In this paper
the concern, theme , facets and dimensions of Panchayati Raj Institutions are dealtwith.
Changes in rural society and its impact on stratum of socio economic transformation in
relation to women and weaker sections are also detailed. Casteism, Groupism and
Factionalism in social order are the elements and strands responsible for creating hurdles in
proper functioning of Panchayati Raj Institutions culminating into conflicting antagonisms,
allegations and mutual hunch. In villages the pathway followed is keeping the matters of
family within family as fundamental to shield their social prominence where the nurturing
scenario of the area heads that izat and honor are beessential to the village community.
