MURLI MANOHAR JOSHI, 17 November, 2017 CHAIRPERSON, 26 kartika, 1939 (Saka) ESTIMATES COMMITTEE. CHAPTER I REPORT This Report of the Committee deals with the action taken by the Government on the recommendations contained in the Eighteenth Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha) on the subject ‘Panchayati Raj' pertaining to the “Ministry of Panchayati Raj”. 1.2 The Eighteenth Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha) was presented to Lok Sabha on 11.08.2016. It contained 11 observations/recommendations. Action Taken Notes on all these observations/recommendations were received from the Ministry of Panchayati Raj on 05.04.2017. 1.3 Replies to the observations and recommendations contained in the Report have broadly been categorized as under:- (i) Recommendations/Observations which have been accepted by the Government: Sl. Nos. 9 & 10 (Total - 2) (Chapter-II) (ii) Recommendations/Observations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of Government’s reply: Sl. Nos. 3, 5 & 8 (Total - 3) (Chapter-III) (iii) Recommendations/Observations in respect of which Government’s replies have not been accepted by the Committee: Sl. Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 & 11 (Total - 6) (Chapter-IV) (iv) Recommendations/Observations in respect of which final reply of Government is still awaited: Sl. No. Nil (Chapter-V) 1.4. The Committee desire that response to the comments contained in Chapter I of this Report should be furnished to them expeditiously. 1.5 The Committee will now deal with the action taken by the Government on some of their recommendations. Observation/Recommendation (Para No.1) Timely Conduct of Elections The Committee in their original report had recommended that Panchayati Raj system in India refers to the system of local self governance introduced by the Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act, 1992. Article 243 E unambiguously stipulates that every Panchayat, unless sooner dissolved under any law for the time being in force, shall continue for five years from the date appointed for its first meeting and no longer. The Committee, however, noted with deep dismay that despite the constitutional directive, there have been instances in some States where elections to the Panchayats were postponed for decades. For instance, in Jharkhand, elections were held after a long gap of about 32 years. In the undivided Andhra Pradesh, the elections to Panchayat were postponed for a considerable time and in Puduchery, Panchayats elections were yet to be conducted. The Committee were apprised by the Government that in order to ensure timely conduct of elections, Backward Region Grant Fund Scheme funds were not given to the States till the elections were held. However, as the funds were small, the scheme failed to bring in compliance on the part of the States. The Committee felt that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MOPR) has a very important Constitutional obligation to ensure conduct of Panchayat elections within the stipulated period of five years. The ways and means for timely election are to be evolved by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MOPR) in coordination with respective State/ U.T Governments and other concerned authorities. The Committee, therefore strongly recommended that earnest efforts should be made by the MOPR to ensure conduct of periodic elections as per the provision of the 73rd Constitution (Amendment) Act, 1992 to Panchayats at all levels in all the States/UTs so as to strengthen the grass root level democracy throughout the length and breadth of the country. Further, having regard to periodic complaints, the Committee recommended that the Government need to examine the desirability of laying down certain essential qualifications for various posts in the lowest rung of democracy so that elected functionaries discharge their duties efficiently, effectively and independently. 1.7 The Ministry in their Action Taken reply has stated that elections to Panchayats have been held in all the States/UTs covered under Part IX, except UT of Puducherry. In the UT of Puducherry where the elections have been due since July 2011 as the matter is sub judice. Presently, it is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Similarly, in Tamilnadu , the Panchayat Elections were due in November, 2016, and in September, 2016 notification for next election was also issued by the State Election Commission. However, this notification has been challenged in the High Court. The matter is still sub-judice due to which the Panchayat Election were still not held. As regards prescribing minimum qualifications for Elected Representatives (ERs), the States have been empowered to prescribe the same under Article 243F(b).
