Functioning of Gram Sabhas (GSs) • GSs provide citizens a direct say in the decision-making process out of respect for their villages. • However, functioning of GS is often criticised due to lack of regularity and transparency, low participation, irregular Gram Sabha meetings, absence of a coherent Gram Sabha agenda, etc. • Also, the vulnerable sections of the village community hesitate to voice opinions due to inhibitions on account of their financial and social standing. • The elected representatives of the Gram Panchayat, especially the Sarpanch, exercise significant powers and reduces Gram Sabhas to mere symbolic platform.
