Answer:
(1) Rural local government is popularly known by the name Panchayat Raj. Each Village or group of villages in some state has a Gram Panchayat.
(2) This is a council consisting of several ward members called Panchs and the president called Sarpanch. They are directly elected by the adult population living in the ward or village.
(3) The Panchayats work under the overall supervision of the Gram Sabha. All the voters of the village are the members of Gram Sabha.
