Which of the following states is one of those states that have no Panchayati Raj Institution at all?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, $1992$ gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and required States to establish them.
2. However, the Amendment did not apply uniformly where traditional tribal/village systems existed. States like Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram were exempted because they have customary village councils and special provisions (e.g. $Article\ 371A$ for Nagaland) that preserve traditional governance.
3. Assam, Gujarat and Punjab have functioning Panchayati Raj institutions (rural local bodies) established under the Panchayati Raj framework.
4. Therefore, among the options given, Nagaland is the state that has no Panchayati Raj Institution at all (due to its exemption and reliance on traditional village councils).
