* Initially there was one Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports and Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region as these Ministries were under the charge of one Minister i.e. Shri Mani Shankar Aiyar. Subsequently, when the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports was placed under the independent charge of Minister of State Dr. M.S. Gill after Cabinet reshuffle on 6th April, 2008, it necessitated the bifurcation of the Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports and Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region into two separate Consultative Committees for the Ministries viz. (i) Ministry of Panchayati Raj & Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region; and (ii) Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. Accordingly, separate Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region was constituted on 10th October, 2008. Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports could not be constituted due to want of requisite number of members.
