Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment (1992) mandates a three-tier Panchayati Raj system in most states: a village tier, an intermediate (block) tier, and a district tier. While the structure is uniform, each state retains its OWN nomenclature for these tiers under its Panchayat Act, so the identifying clue in a matching question is the name a state uses for its INTERMEDIATE (block-level) tier.
Application
Map each state by reading its distinctive intermediate-tier name:
State | Village tier | Intermediate tier | District tier |
|---|---|---|---|
Andhra Pradesh | Gram Panchayat | Mandal Parishad | Zila Parishad |
Arunachal Pradesh | Gram Panchayat | Anchal Samiti | Zila Parishad |
Assam | Gaon Panchayat | Anchal Panchayat | Zila Parishad |
Tripura | Gram Panchayat | Panchayat Samiti | Zila Panchayat |
Reading each state against its block-tier name gives the matching a-I, b-II, c-III, d-IV.
Cross-check
Andhra Pradesh is the only one of the four that uses "Mandal Parishad" for its block tier, so structure I belongs to it.
Assam alone uses "Gaon Panchayat" at the village level (not "Gram"), uniquely fixing structure III to Assam.
Arunachal Pradesh uses "Anchal Samiti" and Tripura uses "Panchayat Samiti" at the block tier, separating structures II and IV.
