Directive Principles
The State shall take steps to organise village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government.
This directs the government to set up village panchayats and give them real powers, so that local self-government can function at the grassroots level rather than everything being decided from state or national capitals.
This directive led to the 73rd Constitutional Amendment (1992), which gave panchayats formal constitutional status and real authority over local matters like sanitation, local roads, and welfare scheme implementation.
