Rajasthan was the first state in India to experiment at the village level with panchayat raj (rule by the panchayat, or village council). It was enacted in 1959. The system, embracing the concepts of the importance of traditional village institutions in Indian society espoused by Mahatma Gandhi, created within the state three levels of local government based on elected village panchayats.
