Women's reservation and a local election authority
Concept
Women's reservation and a local election authority
The 2006 Panchayat framework is where reservation is studied. The printed key says Bihar was the first state to give women 50 percent reservation in panchayat and municipal elections. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are the other states.
A second first is institutional. The key says Bihar was the first state to create an independent election authority for local-body elections, including panchayat elections. That authority is the body that conducts the elections this chapter describes.
