Answer 1

Answer:

Panchayati Raj is a form of government at the village level where each village is responsible for its own activities. The Amendment Act of 1992 contains provision for passing the powers and responsibilities to the panchayat for preparation of plans for economic development and social justice.

Main functions of the Gram Panchayat are:

Maintenance and construction of water resources, roads, drainage, School buildings and CPR (common property resources). Levy and collect local taxes. Execute government schemes related to employment.
