Cevap

Balwant Rai Mehta Committee matches with establishment of a 3-tier Panchayati Raj system; Ashok Mehta Committee matches with replacement of the 3-tier structure with a 2-tier system; G.V.K. Rao Committee matches with making the district the main planning unit and creating the post of District Development Commissioner; L.M. Singhvi Committee matches with constitutional recognition of Panchayati Raj institutions and setting up of Nyaya Panchayats.
Each historical committee on Panchayati Raj corresponds directly to its signature proposal: Balwant Rai Mehta (1957) advocated for a 3-tier system of democratic decentralisation; Ashok Mehta (1977) advocated for a 2-tier structure (Zilla Parishad & Mandal Panchayat); G.V.K. Rao (1985) focused on district-level planning and the District Development Commissioner post; and L.M. Singhvi (1986) spearheaded the demand for constitutional recognition and Nyaya Panchayats.
