Explanation:

• The Chhattisgarh Cabinet has approved an amendment to the State Panchayati Raj Act, 1993, which makes mandatory the presence of a person with disabilities in all panchayats across the state.
• This will make it the only State to have such members in all panchayats.
• The Government announced If differently abled members are not elected through the electoral process, then one member, either male or female, would be nominated as a panch. And as for janpads and zilla panchayats, the State government would nominate two such members, one male and one female, to them.
• Differently abled people constitute 6% of the population of Chhattisgarh.
