The main objects of panchayat Raj are “Democratisation, decentralisation and modernisation” in order to bring
home the ideal of democratic decentralisation of power adequate powers and resources are provided to these
panchayats are these Grama panchayats.

between the state and people democracy and devolution of power should go together. Panchayat Raj system

.Grama Panchayaths And Their Role In Rural Development With People Participation .
73rd Amendment act 1993 :
Provided a constitutions status to the panchayat raj institutions .it envisages the establishment of gram
panchayats as units of local self government in all the states. Today, the panchayat raj institutions (PRIS) are
functioning in 22 out of 25 states and in 6 out of 7 union territories.
Presents Three Tier Panchayat System as par the 73rd amendment act (1993) we have at present
throughout India a three tier panchayat raj system on a uniform basic its three tiers are as follows
l
Gram panchayat – at the village level
l
Taluk panchayat – at taluk level and
l
Zillah panchayat- at district level.
The panchayati raj is a south Asian political system mainly in India Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. it is
the older system of local government in the Indian subtenant the word “panchayat” literally means “assembly” of
five wise and respected elders chosen and accepted by the local community .how ever there are different forms of
assemblies.
Traditionally these assemblies settled disputes between individuals and villages modern Indian
government has decentralized several administrative functions to the local level empowering elected gram
panchayats. Gram panchayats are not to be confused with the selected khap panchayats found in some parts of
northern India.
The term “panchayati raj” is an ancient concepts that has been adopted by the people of Bharat for their
local administration of village. Raj I means “rule” mahatma Gandhi advocated panchayati raj a decentralized form
of government where each village are responsible for its own affairs as the foundation of India’s political system .
The term for such a vision was gram swaraj (village self govt) The leader of the panchayats was generally called the
Mukhiya or Sarpanch a position which is elected .
Various committees on Panchayati raj
1.Balwant raj Mehta : 1957
2.V T Krishammachairi 1960
3.Takhatmal Jain study group 1966
4.Ashok Mehta Committee 1977
5. G.V.K.Rao Committee 1985
6. Sarkoria Commission 1986
7.Dr.L M Singhavi Committee 1987
Recommendations of Balwant raj Mehta Committee :
Government of India in January 1957 to examine the working of the community development programme
(1952) and the national extension service 1953 and to suggest measurers for their better working .the
recommendations of the committee were approved by NDC in January 1958 and this set the stage for the launching
of panchayat raj institutions throughout the country the committee recommended the establishment of the scheme of
‘democratic decentralisation’ which finally came to be know as panchayat raj.
The panchayat raj system was first adopted by state of Rajasthan in nagar district on 2nd oct 1958 second
state was Andhra Pradesh.
The panchayats receive funds from three sources
l
Local body grants as recommended by the central finance commission
l
Funds for implementation as centrally sponsored schemes
l
Funds released by the state govt on the recommendations of the state finance commissions
