पंचायती राज (Panchayati raj)

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is a branch of the Government of India looking after the ongoing process of decentralization and local governance in the States.

In a federation the powers and functions of the government are divided among two governments. In India it is the Union Government and the various State Governments. However with the passage of 73rd and 74th amendment act of the Constitution of India, in 1993 the division of powers and functions have been further tickled down to Local Self Governments(Panchayat at Village levels and Municipalities and Municipal Corporations in towns&large cities). As such India now has not two but three tier of Governments in its federal setup.

Ministry of Panchayati Raj looks into all matters relating of Panchayati Raj and Panchayati Raj Institutions. It was created in May 2004.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Panchayati_Raj)

The Panchayat Raj system has a three-tier structure as:
(i) the Village Panchayats
(ii) the Panchayat Samitis and
(iii) the Zila Parishad

(i) The Village Panchayat or Gram Panchayat : The village panchayat or the gram Panchayat functions at the Village level.
(ii) Panchayat Samiti : The panchayat samiti is the main executive body which operates at the Block level.
(iii) Zila Parishad : The Zila Parishad functions at the districts level and is responsible for making executing and coordinating the programmes of rural development.

The panchayat raj is a South Asian political system mainly in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. "Panchayat" literally means assembly (yat) of five (panch) wise and respected elders chosen and accepted by the village community. Traditionally, these assemblies settled disputes between individuals and villages. Modern Indian government has decentralised several administrative functions to the village level, empowering elected gram panchayats. Gram panchayats are not to be confused with the unelected khap panchayats (or caste panchayats) found in some parts of India.

As you asked for explanation then i like to say that your choice of answer for Hindi word is just wrong as per the english provided by you. Actually Panchayati Raj is a word but that only work for the first word and for the rest of the transaltion it doesnt work. Means it doesnt complete the sense of what you asked. And what i have provided you that includes the menaing of full phrase. It means a departemnt that takes care of panchayats and urban affairs too. And affairs here means WORKS related to the urban society. While your selected answer only tells about Panchayats and wont talk about urban society. Pl. take a look again with your answer.
Example sentence:

मुझे अपना राशन कार्ड लेने के लिए पंचायती/शहरी कार्य विभाग के कार्यालय जाना पड़ा।
