Economic Affairs Rural Development

The Panchayat Advancement Index (PAI) uses 435 unique local Indicators spread across 9 themes aligned with the National Indicator Framework.

These themes include Poverty-Free Panchayat, Healthy Panchayat, and Socially Just Panchayat among others.

In the 2022-23 report, no Gram Panchayat fell into the 'Achiever' category.

What can be deduced from the information given about PAI?

PAI categorizes Gram Panchayats based on thematic scores

The nine themes are optional for Gram Panchayats to follow

PAI aims at identifying development gaps and supports local policy-making

All Gram Panchayats achieved the 'Achiever' status

The statement indicates the use of thematic scores to categorize Gram Panchayats, which PAI does.

The nine themes are aligned with national goals and are part of the index, not optional.

The objective to identify development gaps is explicit, but deduction about categorization only supports Statement 1.

No Gram Panchayat achieved the 'Achiever' status, contradicting Statement 4.
