The correct answer is: a) Decentralize governance.
The Sikkim Panchayat Act was enacted in 1993 with the objective of decentralization of governance. The Act provides for the establishment of three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions at the village, block and district levels. The Panchayati Raj institutions are responsible for a wide range of functions, including planning, implementation and monitoring of development schemes, maintenance of law and order, and delivery of basic services.
The Act has been instrumental in promoting decentralization and empowerment of local communities in Sikkim. It has also helped to improve the delivery of basic services to the people.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Act does not abolish hereditary titles.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Act does not modernize agriculture.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Act does not address historical injustices.
