Explanation
Under Article 243G it is the State legislature — not Parliament alone — that may endow panchayats with powers and authority (1 false). A state may devolve powers to panchayats for preparing plans (2) and implementing schemes (3) for economic development and social justice. Hence 2 and 3 only.
