Abstract
VILLAGE panchayats arc the foundations of rural local self-government in India. On the satisfactory functioning of village panchayats depends the success of the experiment of decentralised development and democracy. It is, therefore, necessary that the functioning of village panchayats be studied, their difficulties and shortcomings identified, and measures taken to support and strengthen these institutions.
