Question

Who presides on the meeting of gram sabha ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The panchayat is chaired by the president of the village, known as a Sarpanch. The term of the elected representatives is five years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Every Gram Sabha meeting must be presided over by the village panchayat president, or in his absence, the vice president, or in both of their absences, the convener of Gram Sabha.

Explanation:

• The Gram Sabha should be organised by the Panchayat Secretary with the Sarpanch's approval.
• When either 10% of Gram Sabha members or 50% of Gram Sabha members (whichever is greater) submit their request for holding a Gram Sabha, the Gram Panchayat Sarpanch is required to call a meeting of the Gram Sabha.
• Every time a Gram Panchayat meeting is held, the Pradhan or, in his absence, the Up-Pradhan, shall preside.
• If neither is present, the members in attendance shall chose one of their number to preside for the meeting.
