E-Panchayat project
A village with not less than 1500 population forms Gram Sabha and every adult becomes a member of it.
Way to go:
We need to encourage participation in Gram Sabha meetings which are currently thinly attended.
Reduce Control by bureaucracy: There are instances of harassment of Sarpanch by block level officials.
Very few Panchayats use their power to levy new taxes and are much dependent on State funds. Except Kerala, no other state has taken any positive step to devolve funds to PRIs.
Give untied grants; Certain schemes are not always appropriate for all parts of the state.
Link Devolution with Performance: The quality of work done by Panchayats should be monitored and graded. Future funds should be linked with their grade.
