With reference to the Constitution, Seventy-third Amendment Act, answer the following question:
What does the Act lay down about the reservation of seats for SCs, STs, and women?
✓

Answer

The 73rd Amendment Act has prudently sympathised with the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes by seeking reservation of the seats in all the Panchayati Raj bodies in proportion to their population. l/3rd of the total number of seats have been reserved for women. Offices of the Chairpersons of the Panchayats at all levels shall be reserved for SCs and STs in proportion to their population in the State. l/3rd offices of the Chairpersons shall also be reserved for women.
