Panchayati Raj

Panchayati Raj is a system of local self-governance that empowers rural communities in India. Established to promote grassroots democracy and decentralize power, it facilitates greater participation of villagers in decision-making processes concerning local development, resource allocation, and governance. The three-tier structure comprises the Gram Panchayat (village level), Panchayat Samiti (block level), and Zilla Parishad (district level), ensuring representation across diverse populations. This category encompasses various topics on the functions, roles, challenges, and successes of Panchayati Raj institutions, highlighting their significance in fostering rural development and enhancing civic engagement.
