Tribal Panchayat

A Tribal Panchayat is a local self-government body in tribal communities, functioning as a traditional decision-making assembly. Comprising elders and community members, it governs social, cultural, and sometimes minor administrative matters, ensuring community interests are maintained. While rooted in customary practices, Tribal Panchayats often work alongside formal government structures to resolve local issues, promote social harmony, and uphold indigenous customs and rights. They play a vital role in preserving tribal identity and providing a platform for community participation in local governance.
