Correct Option

Statement 1 is correct. Part IX of the Constitution of India, which contains provisions for Panchayats, was inserted by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992. This amendment granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions, came into force on April 24, 1993, and introduced Articles 243 to 243O along with the Eleventh Schedule.

Incorrect Options

Statement 2 is incorrect. While Part IXA of the Constitution deals with Municipalities, inserted by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, Article 243Q envisages three types of Municipalities, not two. These are:

Nagar Panchayat (for areas in transition from rural to urban)
Municipal Council (for smaller urban areas)
Municipal Corporation (for large urban areas)

Therefore, option (b) is incorrect as Statement 2 is factually erroneous regarding the number of municipality types. Option (c) is incorrect because Statement 2 is incorrect. Option (d) is incorrect because Statement 1 is correct.
