29 subjects

The correct answer is (c) 19 subjects.

The Eleventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists 29 subjects that are to be devolved to the Panchayats. However, the 73rd Amendment Act of 1992, which introduced the Panchayats, also allows for the addition of new subjects to the list by the State Legislatures. As a result, some States have added additional subjects to the list, while others have not.

The 19 subjects that are listed in the Eleventh Schedule are:

  1. Agriculture
  2. Animal husbandry
  3. Fisheries
  4. Minor irrigation
  5. Water management
  6. Public health
  7. Family welfare
  8. Rural housing
  9. Drinking water supply
  10. Roads
  11. Street lighting
  12. Primary and secondary education
  13. Technical education
  14. Adult education
  15. Libraries
  16. Cultural activities
  17. Markets and fairs
  18. Social welfare
  19. Women and child development

The subjects listed in the Eleventh Schedule are broad in scope and cover a wide range of areas. This allows the Panchayats to play a significant role in the development of their communities.
