UPSC Podcast : The IAS Companion ( for UPSC aspirants ‪)‬ IAS Companion

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION.

Today’s lecture focuses on the Panchayati Raj system in India, which aims to establish local self-governance in rural areas. Institutionalized by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992, Panchayati Raj enhances grassroots democracy. The system's evolution began with the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee in 1957, which recommended a three-tier structure. Over time, various committees, including the Ashok Mehta and L M Singhvi Committees, influenced its development. The 73rd Amendment introduced a uniform three-tier system, direct elections, and reservations for marginalized groups. Despite constitutional recognition, the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) face challenges like inadequate devolution of powers, bureaucratic control, and funding constraints. The PESA Act of 1996 further empowered tribal areas. Addressing these issues is essential for effective rural governance and development. Thank you.

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION.

Today, we explore tribunals and subordinate courts in India's legal framework. The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 introduced Part 14-A, creating tribunals under Articles 323 A and 323 B. Article 323 A establishes administrative tribunals for public service disputes, exemplified by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), while Article 323 B allows for tribunals on various subjects. State Administrative Tribunals (SATs) handle state-level service matters. Additionally, we discuss the structure and jurisdiction of subordinate courts, including district courts and Lok Adalats, which offer alternative dispute resolution. Family Courts and Gram Nyayalayas further enhance justice accessibility, especially in family and rural community matters, prioritizing reconciliation and streamlined procedures. These institutions underscore India's commitment to equitable justice delivery.

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION.

Today's lecture dives into the State Legislature, governed by Articles 168 to 212 of the Constitution, which detail its structure, procedures, and powers. Most states operate under a unicameral system, while six employ a bicameral system. We'll explore the composition, qualifications, and roles of members, as well as the functions of presiding officers and the governor.

Understanding the legislative process is crucial. Ordinary bills can originate in either house and undergo readings and debates before receiving the governor's assent. Money bills, introduced only in the assembly, follow special procedures. The legislative council's role is limited, especially concerning money bills. We'll also discuss legislative privileges, ensuring the smooth functioning and protection of members' rights within the state legislature. Thank you.

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION.

In India's states, the parliamentary system mirrors the Union, with the Chief Minister and the council of ministers holding executive authority. Articles 163, 164, 166, 167, and 177 of the Constitution define their roles. The Governor appoints the Chief Minister and ministers, who must secure legislative seats within six months if not already members.
Ministers are collectively responsible to the legislative assembly, meaning the entire council must resign if a no-confidence motion passes. Individually, they serve at the Governor's pleasure, ensuring accountability. The council includes Cabinet Ministers, who head major departments; Ministers of State, who assist or hold independent charges; and Deputy Ministers, who assist without independent charges.

The Cabinet, composed of senior ministers, is the main decision-making body, handling policy formulation, administration coordination, and crisis management. Supporting committees help in these functions. This structure ensures effective governance and decision-making at the state level.

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION.


In India's parliamentary system, the Governor holds the nominal executive authority, while the Chief Minister wields the real executive power, akin to the Prime Minister at the national level. Under Article 164 of the Constitution, the Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor, typically from the majority party in the state legislative assembly. However, in the absence of a clear majority, the Governor can exercise discretion, often appointing the leader of the largest party or coalition. The Chief Minister's term is contingent upon the Governor's pleasure and can only be sustained with the support of the legislative assembly. They play a pivotal role in forming the Council of Ministers, advising the Governor on key appointments, and coordinating government policies. Additionally, the Chief Minister serves as the liaison between the Governor and the council, communicating decisions and providing information as required by constitutional provisions outlined in Articles 163, 164, and 167.
