Gram Panchayat

A Gram Panchayat is a village-level self-governing body in India, part of the rural local governance system. It consists of elected members from the village community and is responsible for local administration, development activities, and decision-making regarding public welfare. The Gram Panchayat manages resources, implements government schemes, and addresses local issues, fostering community participation. It plays a crucial role in enhancing rural infrastructure, health, education, and sanitation, thereby empowering villagers to have a say in their governance and promoting grassroots democracy. Each Gram Panchayat typically serves a single village or a group of nearby villages.
