Which of the following states does not have a Panchayati Raj institution at all?
AAssam
BTripura
CKerala
DNagaland ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Nagaland — Nagaland does not have the panchayati raj institutions, so the answer is Nagaland.
Explanation
★Nagaland does not have the panchayati raj institutions, so the answer is Nagaland.
★Part IX of the Constitution, added by the 73rd Amendment, set up panchayats across India.
★However, certain areas were exempted from its application by Article 243M.
★Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram are kept outside the panchayati raj system.
★These states have their own traditional tribal councils for local administration.
★The Eleventh Schedule lists twenty-nine subjects devolved to panchayats elsewhere.
★So among the options, only Nagaland lacks the standard panchayati raj institutions.
