The correct answer is: C. 1969
Panchayati Raj was formally introduced in Assam in 1969. The Assam Panchayat Act, 1969 was enacted to provide for the establishment of Panchayati Raj institutions in the state. The Act provides for the establishment of three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions at the village, block and district levels.
The village level institutions are called Gaon Panchayats. The block level institutions are called Panchayat Samitis and the district level institutions are called Zila Parishads.
The members of the Gaon Panchayats are elected by the people of the villages. The members of the Panchayat Samitis are elected by the members of the Gaon Panchayats. The members of the Zila Parishads are elected by the members of the Panchayat Samitis.
The Panchayati Raj institutions are responsible for the development of the villages and blocks in their areas. They are also responsible for the implementation of government schemes and programmes in their areas.
The Panchayati Raj institutions have been playing a vital role in the development of the rural areas in Assam. They have been able to bring about a lot of improvement in the lives of the people in the rural areas.
