Solution
In India, seats are reserved for women in Panchayati Raj bodies.
Explanation:
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment demands one-third (33%) reservation for women in Panchayati Raj bodies, which is being aggressively implemented throughout India today. The 33% quota for the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies (the 106th Amendment) is still legally authorised, but it will not be implemented until after the upcoming census and delimitation. There is no constitutional reserve for governing cabinets.
