Detailed Solution

Seats in Panchayat Raj bodies, which are local self-governing bodies, are reserved for women in India.
According to the 73rd amendment, one-third of the seats to be filled by direct elections for local self-governing bodies must be reserved for women. The reservation introduced by the 73rd and 74th amendments was rotational, meaning that certain Panchayats/Municipalities were reserved for women on a rotational basis for a set period. Women's political empowerment is based on three key principles: gender equality, women's right to fully develop their potential, and women's right to self-representation and self-determination.
