Answer 1

Municipality

Explanation:

Under the 74^th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992, Article 243T mandates that not less than one-third (33%) of the total number of seats in urban local bodies (Municipalities) must be reserved for women. This has successfully enabled over a million women to actively participate in grassroots governance across India.
