Panchayati Raj System: In India, rural local government is popularly known as Panchayati Raj. Each village or a group of villages in some states has a Gram Panchayat.

Gram Sabha meet at least twice or thrice in a year to improve annual budget and review the performance of Gram Panchayat. A few Gram Panchayats are grouped together to form a Panchayat Samiti or block or mandal. The members of this representative bodies are elected by all the Panchayat members in that area.
