With third tier of the Panchayati Raj System-the DDCs set to get major powers, at the same time, the Government is also mulling further empowerment of the Block Development Councils (BDCs) as well as Panchayats, which constitute second and first tier of the Panchayati Raj by allocating them control of some more departments and raising their financial powers after sometime.
