The correct answer is: C. 1970
The Panchayati Raj system was first started in Gujarat in 1970. It was introduced by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Chimanbhai Patel. The system was introduced with the aim of decentralizing power and involving the people in the decision-making process.
The Panchayati Raj system is a three-tier system, with village panchayats at the lowest level, taluka panchayats at the middle level, and district panchayats at the highest level. The village panchayat is the basic unit of the Panchayati Raj system. It is responsible for the development and welfare of the village. The taluka panchayat is responsible for the development and welfare of the taluka. The district panchayat is responsible for the development and welfare of the district.
The Panchayati Raj system has been successful in decentralizing power and involving the people in the decision-making process. It has also been successful in bringing about development and welfare at the village, taluka, and district levels.
