Salient Features of the Constitution: Three-Tier Government and Cooperative Societies

Three-Tier Government

  • Initially, India had only the Union and State governments, but by the 73rd and 74th amendments, the third tier of governance was adopted, which made the grassroots penetration of governance. 

Cooperative Societies

  • Part IX-B of the constitution contains various provisions to ensure that the co-operative societies in the country function in a democratic, professional, autonomous, and economically sound manner. 
  • It empowers the Parliament in respect of multi-state cooperative societies and the state legislatures in respect of other co-operative societies to make the appropriate law.
