Which schedule contains the assigned functions of the Rural Local Self Government or the Panchayati Raj?
11th Schedule
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions (rural local self-government).
It added the Eleventh Schedule to the Constitution, which lists the functional items placed within the purview of the Panchayats.
The 11th Schedule contains 29 subjects such as agriculture, land improvement, minor irrigation, rural housing, drinking water and poverty alleviation programmes.
The 12th Schedule, by contrast, deals with urban local bodies (Municipalities) under the 74th Amendment.
Hence, the functions of the Panchayati Raj are contained in the 11th Schedule.
