A Correct answer
Explanation

Reservation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions is primarily aimed at increasing the participation of women in public life and decision-making processes. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments mandated 33% reservation for women to ensure their representation in local governance. While economic welfare may be a secondary benefit, the main constitutional objective is political empowerment and participatory democracy.
