Whqt are the functions of gram panchayat in gupta period

Answer 1

A gram panchayat (village council) is the onlygrassroots-level of panchayati raj formalised local self-governance system in India at the village or small-town level, and has a sarpanch as its elected head.[1]

The failed attempts to deal with local matters at the national level caused, in 1992, the reintroduction of panchayats for their previously used purpose as an organisation for local self-governance.[1] There are about 250,000 gram panchayats in India,[2][3] that are being gigabit-broadband enabled under the BharatNet and Digital India initiative

Answer 2

There was no Gram Panchayat during the Gupta period. The village headman gained importance in Gupta times, managing village affairs with the assistance of elders. However, there was the local council of elders in a village who performed the same functions which are performed by the Gram Panchayats today.
