A study on the fundamental structural features of Panchayati Raj Institutions
Keywords:
Decision-making, Panchayati Raj InstitutionsAbstract
Panchayati Raj serves as a pivotal governance framework in democratic India, representing the most significant form of decentralized administration at the grassroots level. These institutions empower local communities by transferring decision-making authority to them, enabling active participation in their own development and self-governance. Understanding the structural and functional dimensions of Panchayati Raj Institutions is therefore essential. This paper aims to provide an in-depth insight into key decision-making processes within these institutions. It examines the structural framework of Panchayati Raj Institutions and outlines the types of functions performed across all three levels, highlighting their role in facilitating local governance and development.
