Under the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Amendment Act, 2004, how many seats have been reserved for women in Panchayat?

One/fourth
One/third
Two/third
None of these

The correct answer is: B. One/third

The Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Amendment Act, 2004, reserved one-third of the seats in Panchayats for women. This means that 33% of the seats in Panchayats are reserved for women, and only women can contest for these seats. This is a positive step towards ensuring that women have a voice in local government.

Option A is incorrect because it reserves one-fourth of the seats for women. Option C is incorrect because it reserves two-thirds of the seats for women. Option D is incorrect because it states that no seats have been reserved for women.

The Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Amendment Act, 2004, is a landmark piece of legislation that has had a positive impact on the lives of women in Jammu and Kashmir. It has helped to increase women’s participation in local government and has given them a voice in decision-making.
