Which Article of the Indian Constitution directs the State to organize village panchayats ?
Article 40
The Directive Principles of State Policy in Part IV (Articles 36–51) give the State guidelines for governance.
Article 40 states that the State shall take steps to organise village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government. The 73rd Amendment (1992) later gave panchayats constitutional status in Part IX.
Article 51 deals with promotion of international peace and security, Article 44 with a uniform civil code for citizens, and Article 38 with the State securing a social order for the welfare of the people; none of them concerns village panchayats.
Article 40 option is correct.
