Department of Panchayati Raj Uttarakhand More than 70% of India’s population lives in villages. Gram Sabha and Gram Panchayat come into existence from the rural areas. Rural development and justice system have been panchayat based since ancient times. In the history of India, only those governance systems have been successful whose panchayat based judicial system has been good. The core of Gandhiji’s dream India was also the empowerment of rural self-governance. Panchayats were given a constitutional status by giving a new form to the Panchayati Raj system through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment.
This has opened the way for participation of common rural communities through Panchayati Raj institutions. Many schemes are being run for the empowerment of panchayats in the state of Uttarakhand. These beneficial schemes being run with the support of the Central Government and through the State Government have started giving good results. The Panchayati Raj Department is trying to ensure that the benefits of the schemes reach the last person in the villages.
