Panchayati Raj belongs to ______ list.

Residuary
Concurrent
Union
State

The correct answer is (d) State.

Panchayati Raj is a system of local self-government in India. It is a three-tier system, with panchayats at the village, block, and district levels. The panchayats are elected bodies, and they have a wide range of powers and responsibilities.

The Panchayati Raj system is a part of the State List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. This means that the powers to make laws relating to Panchayati Raj are vested in the State governments.

The Union government has some limited powers to make laws relating to Panchayati Raj, but these powers are only in respect of matters that are of national importance. For example, the Union government can make laws relating to the preparation of a national policy on Panchayati Raj, or the provision of financial assistance to the States for the development of Panchayati Raj institutions.

The Concurrent List is a list of subjects on which both the Union and State governments have the power to make laws. However, the Union government’s power to make laws on a subject in the Concurrent List is only in the absence of a law made by a State government on that subject.

The Residuary List is a list of subjects on which the Union government has the exclusive power to make laws. This means that the Union government can make laws on any subject that is not included in the State List or the Concurrent List.

I hope this helps!
