Answer:
The main and by far the biggest body in the Panchayati Raj system is the Gram Sabha. It has an eternal body. The electorate's Sabha is known as the Gram Sabha. All other Panchayati Raj institutions, including the Block Panchayat, Zilla Parishad, and Gram Panchayat, are made up of elected delegates.
Explanation:
Gram Sabha may form a committee or committees to carry out its duties, such as upholding law and order, managing minor forest products, village markets, prohibiting the sale or use of intoxicants, controlling money lending, and managing water resources, among other things.
The Secretary of the Gram Sabha also serves as the Secretary of the Gram Panchayat. This individual is a government-appointed official rather than someone who was elected.
Both the Gram Sabha and Gram Panchayat meetings must be called by the Secretary, who also must keep minutes of the proceedings.
