Solution

The correct option is C Activating the Panchayati Raj institutions
Rajiv Gandhi's idea of the Panchayati Raj, or local self-government of villages, in rural India, was given constitutional status through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act by the government led by P. V Narasimha Rao. It was effective from 24 April 1993 and assured the representation, distribution of funds, and decision-making rights down to the villages. This made India the largest and the most representative democracy.
