Gram Sabha
The Gram Sabha is a village assembly in India that consists of all the registered voters in a village or a group of villages. It plays a crucial role in local governance and decision-making, allowing residents to participate in discussions about development projects, resource management, and community issues. The Gram Sabha meets regularly to ensure transparency and accountability in the functioning of local bodies.
Members of the Gram Panchayat, which is the elected local government body, are accountable to the Gram Sabha. This assembly empowers citizens by giving them a platform to voice their opinions and influence decisions that affect their lives, thereby promoting grassroots democracy.
