Questions students ask

What is Panchayati Raj?

Panchayati Raj is the system of rural local self-government with elected bodies at village, block and district levels. It assigns functions to Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis and Zila Parishads so villagers plan and run local development and basic services.

Who forms the Gram Sabha?

The Gram Sabha is formed by all registered voters of the Gram Panchayat area. The Gram Sabha reviews village plans, questions spending, approves local priorities and meets regularly to increase citizen participation.

How are Panchayat members chosen?

Panchayat members are chosen by direct elections in the village; state rules determine whether the sarpanch is directly elected or chosen by elected members. Reservation provisions apply during these elections.
