Answer:

The PK Thungon Committee recommended constitutional recognition for the local government bodies in 1989.
This recommendation was a significant step towards strengthening grassroots democracy and eventually led to the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts of 1992, which granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions (rural local bodies) and urban local bodies respectively.
