A decentralized form of governance that empowers citizens
Panchayti Raj Department
The Panchayati Raj system in Indian villages is a decentralized form of governance that empowers local self-government and facilitates grassroots democracy. Established to involve rural populations in their own governance, the system ensures that the development needs and priorities of villages are effectively addressed through local participation and decision-making.
Key Features
- Gram Panchayat (Village Level): The smallest unit, which directly interacts with the village community and handles local issues.
- Panchayat Samiti (Block Level): An intermediary level that coordinates activities between Gram Panchayats and addresses issues that affect multiple villages.
- Zilla Parishad (District Level): The top tier that oversees and coordinates the efforts of Panchayat Samitis within the district.
