The reservation of one-third of seats for women in village panchayats is provided by the 73rd Amendment to the Constitution of India, enacted in 1992. This amendment added Part IX to the Constitution, which pertains to the Panchayati Raj system, and explicitly mandates the reservation of seats for women in local self-governments, including village panchayats. This provision aims to enhance women's participation in local governance and decision-making processes.
