πŸ“œ Panchayat Mediation Mechanism Backed by President MurmuπŸ“œ

Panchayat Mediation Mechanism: In a landmark statement advocating grassroots legal empowerment, President Droupadi Murmu voiced strong support for enabling Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) to act as formal mediators for local dispute resolution. Referring to the Mediation Act, 2023, she stressed its compatibility with the constitutional mandate under Articles 243-B to 243-ZA β€” provisions that give legitimacy and structure to panchayats as decentralised governance institutions.
