The correct answer is C. 1935.
The Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Regulation Act No.1 was promulgated by Maharaja Hari Singh in 1935. The Act established a system of local self-government in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Act provided for the establishment of panchayats at the village, tehsil, and district levels. The panchayats were responsible for a variety of functions, including the maintenance of law and order, the collection of taxes, and the provision of basic services.
The Act was a significant step in the development of local self-government in Jammu and Kashmir. It provided a framework for the participation of local people in the governance of their communities. The Act also helped to promote development and improve the quality of life in rural areas.
The Act was amended several times in the years following its promulgation. The most significant amendment was the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act, 1989. The 1989 Act replaced the earlier Act and introduced a number of new features, including the direct election of panchayat members.
The Panchayati Raj system has been in operation in Jammu and Kashmir for over 70 years. It has played a significant role in the development of the state and the improvement of the lives of its people.
