Which of the following criteria are mandatory for a Sarpanch candidate under the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, and its amendments?

Here's the analysis of the mandatory criteria for a Sarpanch candidate under the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, and its amendments: 1. The candidate must possess a functional toilet in their residential premises. This criterion was introduced as a mandatory requirement by an amendment in 2015 to promote sanitation. This statement is correct. 2. A male candidate from the General Category must have passed the Matriculation (10th) examination. Educational qualifications were also made mandatory by the 2015 amendment. For a male candidate from the General Category, passing the 10th examination is indeed a requirement for the post of Sarpanch. This statement is correct. 3. The candidate must not have any arrears owed to any Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society (PACS). The 2015 amendments also stipulated that candidates must not be defaulters on loans from cooperative banks or electricity bills. This statement is correct. 4. The candidate must be a minimum of 25 years of age. For contesting elections to Panchayati Raj Institutions (like Sarpanch) in India, the minimum age is 21 years, not 25 years. The age of 25 years is required for contesting elections to the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assembly. This statement is incorrect. Out of the four given criteria, three are mandatory. The correct option is (C). C) Only three 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
