The correct answer is (c) 2016.
The Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act was passed on 25 August 2016. It is a law that governs the functioning of panchayats in the state of Uttarakhand. The act provides for the establishment of three-tier panchayats at the village, block, and district levels. It also provides for the devolution of powers and functions to the panchayats.
The act was passed in response to the demand for decentralization of power and greater participation of people in the governance of the state. It is expected to improve the delivery of services to the people and to promote local development.
The act has been welcomed by many people, but it has also been criticized by some. Critics have argued that the act does not go far enough in devolving power to the panchayats. They have also argued that the act is too complex and that it will be difficult to implement.
Despite these criticisms, the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act is a significant step towards decentralization of power in the state. It is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the people of Uttarakhand.
