Which constitutional provision mandates training and capacity building for elected representatives and functionaries of Panchayats and Municipalities?
- Article 243G
- Article 243ZD
- Article 243Y
- No explicit provision; left to States
Answer: No explicit provision; left to States
Constitution does not explicitly mandate capacity building; Article 243G/W empowers State Legislatures to endow Panchayats/Municipalities with powers/functions. Training is typically provided by State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRDs), National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD), and other agencies. Capacity gaps remain a challenge for effective decentralization.
