The correct answer is: b) Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti, Zilla Panchayat.
Sikkim follows a three-tier Panchayati Raj system consisting of Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis, and Zilla Panchayats.
- Gram Panchayats are the lowest tier of the Panchayati Raj system and are constituted at the village level. They are responsible for local development and welfare activities.
- Panchayat Samitis are the intermediate tier of the Panchayati Raj system and are constituted at the block level. They are responsible for coordinating the activities of the Gram Panchayats and for implementing development schemes.
- Zilla Panchayats are the highest tier of the Panchayati Raj system and are constituted at the district level. They are responsible for planning and coordinating the development activities of the Panchayat Samitis.
The Panchayati Raj system in Sikkim was established in 1993. The system is based on the principles of decentralisation, democracy, and participation. The Panchayati Raj system in Sikkim has been successful in promoting local development and in empowering the people.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the three-tier Panchayati Raj system in Sikkim.
