These local governments were created to strengthen grassroots democracy. These local bodies' function is to consider local matters and make decisions accordingly. Through the 1992 amendment, panchayats were created at the rural level, and municipalities were created at the urban level. The provisions mentioned the regular conduct of elections at the local government level.
