The
Gram Sabha is an important element in the proper functioning of the
Panchayati Raj system. The members of the Gram Sabha, by raising
and resolving issues placed before the Panchayat, can enable the
Panchayat members to play their roles and be responsible to the
people who elected them. The Gram Sabha is the place where all the
plans for the work of the Gram Panchayat are placed before the
people. The Gram Sabha prevents the Panchayat members from doing
wrong things like misusing money or favouring certain people. It
holds the members of the Panchayat accountable for everything they do
or don’t do.
Yes, all
adults who live in the area covered by a Panchayat should attend the
Gram Sabha meetings. Anyone who is 18 years old or more, and who has

should not only take part in electing the Panchs but also ensure that
they work properly, by actively participating in the workings of the
Panchayat and the Gram Sabha.
