Detailed Solution

1/3rd of the seats are reserved for women in rural and urban local bodies in India.
The 73rd (Panchayati Raj) Amendment Act and the 74th (Municipal Corporation) Amendment Act of 1992 made it mandatory to reserve seats for women, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribes in the rural and urban local bodies. This step was taken to guarantee that those in the community/society who are less powerful have an opportunity to participate in decision-making. The decision has given women more power in local government.
