Jat Panchayats

Jat Panchayats are traditional councils within the Jat community, primarily found in North India, especially in states like Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. These councils serve as informal governing bodies that resolve disputes, enforce social norms, and make community decisions. Comprised of respected elders, the Panchayat aims to maintain social order and provide a sense of justice among its members. Though their authority isn't legally recognized, Jat Panchayats wield significant influence in local matters, focusing on issues ranging from family disputes to village governance and community welfare, reflecting the values and customs of the Jat culture.
