In which year was 50% reservation to women in Panchayat bodies provided in Bihar?
Detailed Explanation:
Bihar enacted 50% reservation for women in Panchayat bodies in 2006, becoming one of the early states to exceed the constitutional minimum of 33% mandated by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992.
This progressive step was part of Bihar's efforts to enhance women's political participation at the grassroots level, significantly ahead of similar measures in other states.
