D Correct answer
Explanation

The Panchayat Raj system was formally started in Uttar Pradesh in 1959, following the recommendations of the Balwantrai Mehta Committee (1957) which suggested establishing three-tier Panchayat institutions for rural local self-governance. This was part of nationwide implementation after the Constitutional (73rd Amendment) was later passed in 1992. The year 1948 relates to India's independence, 1951 to the first general elections, and 1956 to states reorganization, but 1959 specifically marks UP's Panchayat Raj institutionalization.
