Solution

The correct option is B To separate executive and judicial powers in rural governance across India
Nyaya Panchayats were created as speedy and affordable redressal mechanisms for villagers. To ensure the separation of powers, nobody can be a member of both the Nyaya Panchayat and the Gram Panchayat. This is not, however, the main objective for establishing Nyaya Panchayats. In fact, some villages do not have separate Nyaya Panchayats, and the Gram Panchayat acts as the main judicial body in addition to its other functions.
