Bare Act
The Uttarakhand River Valley (Development of Management ) Act
General200531 sections
This Act establishes a system of local self-government known as Panchayati Raj in the state of Uttarakhand. It applies to the entire state and empowers village and district-level councils to manage their own affairs, including planning and development. The law matters because it strengthens grassroots democracy by giving ordinary citizens a direct role in decision-making and ensuring that local needs are addressed through elected representatives rather than distant authorities.
