Chhattisgarh Panchayati Raj Act

The Chhattisgarh Panchayati Raj Act establishes a structured system of local self-governance in rural areas of Chhattisgarh. It empowers village councils (gram panchayats), intermediate councils (panchayat samitis), and district councils (zilla parishads) to manage local development, civic amenities, and social welfare. The Act provides rules for elections, administration, and functions of these bodies, promoting democratic participation, decentralization, and community involvement in decision-making. It ensures that local communities have a say in their development and governance, fostering transparency and accountability at grassroots levels.
