Explanation
Statements 1 and 3 are correct: The main idea behind the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) is to promote grass root democracy and development. The main aim is to evolve a system of democratic decentralisation and people’s participation with a view to ensure rapid socio-economic progress and provide adequate justice.

Statement 4 is incorrect: Financial mobilisation was never the fundamental basis for the establishment of PRI.
