Its importance has been emphasized in laws like the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA), which grants Gram Sabhas authority over natural resources and development decisions in tribal areas. Courts have recognized Gram Sabhas as instruments of grassroots empowerment, ensuring that decentralization is not merely administrative but democratic in substance.
