 ABSTRACT

Panchayats have been the backbone of the Indian villages since the beginning of recorded history. Panchayat Raj is a system of governance in which Gram Panchayats are the basic units of administration. The study was conducted in the Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, where a total of 100 rural respondents were selected through a simple random sampling technique. The objective of the study is to know the financial position of panchayat and their sufficiency in grants, the role of panchayat raj institutions in rural development, and satisfaction with the role of panchayat functionaries. Results indicated that the majority (78%) of the respondents were not satisfied with the grants provided to the panchayath is not sufficient, and most (78%) of the respondents were not satisfied with the financial position of the panchayath. The result of the study concluded that the majority of the people were not satisfied with the allocation of grants for particular panchayath is not sufficient.
