Answers
Answer:
the members of gram Panchayat are all the voters in the village area
Option (c) The members of Gram Panchayat are all the voters in the village area is incorrect.
Gram Panchayat is a part of the Panchayati Raj, i.e., the rural local self-government. Gram Panchayat is the governing body at the village level and its members are elected by the voters of the village.
Gram Sabha is a supervising body. It supervises the work of the Gram Panchayat and also approves the annual budget and the major decisions taken by the Panchayat. Gram Sabha consists of all the members of the village aged more than 18, i.e., all those citizens who have voting rights.
Gram Sabha can also overrule the decision of the Gram Panchayat. This system ensures that the people do not suffer even if the Gram Panchayat takes wrong decisions.
