Rajasthan
B.
Assam
C.
Sikkim
D.
Arunachal Pradesh
Explanation
Arunachal Pradesh has no Scheduled Caste population, so reservation for SCs in Panchayati Raj institutions is not applicable. Article 243D provides reservation based on population proportion, so absence of SC population removes the need. This reflects demographic-based reservation logic. Rajasthan and Assam have SC population, while Sikkim follows special arrangements.
