Question
As per Article 243A of the Constitution of India, which of the following best describes the Gram Sabha?
Solution
Article 243A defines Gram Sabha as consisting of all persons registered in the electoral rolls relating to a village comprised within the area of a Panchayat at the village level. Unlike the three-tier Panchayat system (village, intermediate, and district), the Gram Sabha is unique in that it is not constituted for a particular period and comprises all registered voters, not elected representatives. It serves as the foundation of Panchayati Raj as envisioned in the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992.
