Answer 1

Answer:

There are 12,620 Village Panchayats in the State spread across the 30 districts and the 385 Blocks. The average number of Village Panchayats per district is 421 and per Block is 32. The Nilgiris (35), Kanniyakumari (99), Theni (130) and Karur (158) are some of the districts with fewer Village Panchayats while Villupuram (1104), Tiruvannamalai (860), Vellore (753), Cuddalore (683) and Kancheepuram (648) are some of the districts with a large number of Village Panchayats. As can be seen from Table 5, the population of Village Panchayats in Tamil Nadu is widely varying with some Village Panchayats having populations even below 500 while others have populations exceeding 25,000.
