Solution

73rd and 74th Amendment to the Indian constitution gave a constitutional status to local self-governing institutions.

Explanation:

The Directive Principles of State Policy include provisions for democratic decentralisation. One important provision concerns empowering local self-government to make genuine democratic governance a reality. After independence, several attempts were made towards democratic decentralisation. One such important attempt is the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Indian Constitution, which gave constitutional status to local self-governing institutions and also increased their powers.
