Abstract :

The Karnataka Panchayat Raj (KPR) Act, in keeping with the 73rd Constitutional amendment have enacted in 1993 to establish a three–tier Panchayat Raj Institution (PRI) system, at the village, taluk and district levels in the State. The PRI system comprises elected bodies – Grama Panchayats (GPs) at the village level, Taluk Panchayats (TPs) at the taluk level and Zilla Panchayats (ZPs) at the district level. The Government of India enacted (September 2005) the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005. Correspondingly, the State Government formulated the Karnataka Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. The objective of the scheme was to give effect to the legal guarantee of work by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed employment to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual labour
