The villages in Assam had a strong Panchayat in different names or forms since long past. Assam was one of the pioneer States in India to enact Panchayat Act and establish Panchayati Raj in the State when the Assam Rural Panchayat Act, 1948 was passed. This Act was amended and replaced by the Assam Panchayat Act, 1959, the Assam Panchayati Raj Act, 1972, the Assam Panchayati Raj Act, 1986 and finally the Assam Panchayat Act, 1994 which incorporated the provisions of the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992 of the Constitution of India. The Assam Panchayat Act,1994 received the assent of the Governor on the 22nd April 1994 and elections were held in October 1996, for establishing a three-tier Panchayati Raj system in the State at the village, intermediate and district level.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-share-permission field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Share permission</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-order field--type-weight field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Order</div> <div class="field__item">2</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-select-level field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Select Level</div> <div class="field__item">Level 1</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-select-display-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Select Display Area</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/523" hreflang="en">Display on About us block</a></div> </div> Mon, 21 Mar 2022 08:07:33 +0000 uspadmin 898 at https://rural.assam.gov.in
