Question

Who is the Executive Officer of the Panchayat Samiti?

• A. Administrative Officer
• B. Block Development Officer
• C. Member of Legislative Assembly
• D. Member of Parliament

Answer 1

The correct option is B Block Development Officer

The Block Development Officer (BDO) is the Executive Officer of the Panchayat Samiti. He runs the day to day administration of the Samiti. Besides this, there is a Panchayat Officer. The Executive Officer and the Panchayat Officer work in co-operation with each other. Though there are specialised officers for each department in the Panchayat Samiti, BDO has to ensure that there is coordination among various wings.
