Under the Constitution, the Eleventh Schedule lists subjects that may be devolved to panchayats, and the Twelfth Schedule lists those for municipalities. A CSR manager wants to map a proposed project on village drinking water and sanitation to local self-government responsibility. What does this mapping help achieve?

Mapping the project to the Eleventh or Twelfth Schedule subjects shows it lies within the local body's domain, so the company can coordinate with it and avoid duplicating work. It does not exempt CSR reporting, convert funds into revenue, or transfer the body's powers.
