Panchayati Raj is a decentralized form of governance at the village level, granting local bodies the power to address community needs. Students discover how Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis, and Zila Parishads function collaboratively. They also learn about the role of elected representatives, especially the importance of women’s participation through reserved seats. Real-life examples, like the construction of village roads or the maintenance of water sources, highlight how this system promotes accountability and ensures resources are used for the common welfare. This model exemplifies grassroots democracy and fosters leadership at the community level.
