On 24 April 2025, National Panchayati Raj Day was celebrated to honor grassroots democracy, marking the enforcement of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1993.
Declared in 2010 by PM Manmohan Singh, the day emphasizes local self-governance and rural development. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Madhubani, Bihar, launching projects worth over ₹13,480 crore, including an LPG plant in Gopalganj, power infrastructure, and rail connectivity like the Amrit Bharat Express and Namo Bharat Rapid Rail.
Key schemes highlighted were PMAY-G, PMAY-U, and DAY-NRLM, alongside Panchayat awards and a push for digital governance through initiatives like e-Panchayat and SVAMITVA.
