It is a body consisting of persons registered in the electoral rolls of a village comprised within the area of Panchayat at the village level. Thus, it is a village assembly consisting of all the registered voters in the area of a panchayat. It may exercise such powers and perform such functions at the village level as the legislature of a state determines.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. Which among the following statements is/are incorrect about the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)?
1. It prohibits all types of testing of nuclear weapons by all UN members.
2. It came into force in 1996.
3. It has replaced the Partial Test Ban Treaty which prohibited some specific types of nuclear weapon testing only.
Select the correct answer by using the code given below:Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
● The CTBT was signed in 1996 but has not come into force. This is because the treaty provides that all those nuclear capable countries which are 44 in number should sign and ratify the treaty, then only the treaty will come into force. The treaty did not replace the PTBT but provides a comprehensive approach to global nuclear disarmament. Although the term comprehensive is used, it does not mean that the treaty prevents or prohibits all types of nuclear weapon tests. For instance, it does not prohibit subcritical, and computer simulated weapon tests and this has been one of the reasons why India has been reluctant to sign the CTBT.
Hence, all the statements are incorrect.Incorrect
