\nThe Ashok Mehta Committee (1977) was appointed to suggest measures to strengthen Panchayati Raj Institutions. It recommended a two-tier system of Panchayati Raj, consisting of the Zila Parishad at the district level and the Mandal Panchayat (a group of villages) below it. This recommendation aimed to replace the existing three-tier system prevalent in many states, which included the block-level (Panchayat Samiti) body.

\nThe Balwantrai Mehta Committee (1957) recommended the three-tier system (Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti, Zila Parishad) which became the basis for Panchayati Raj in most states initially. The G.V.K. Rao Committee (1985) recommended making the district the basic unit for planning and giving the Zila Parishad the most importance. The L. M. Sanghvi Committee (1986) recommended constitutional recognition for Panchayati Raj.
