How is Gram Panchayat formed?

Gram Panchayat is formed in the following manner:

  • Every village Panchayat is divided into wards, i.e. smaller areas.
  • Each ward elects a representative who is known as the Ward Member (Panch).
  • All the members of the Gram Sabha also elect a Sarpanch who is the Panchayat President.
  • The Ward Panchs and the Sarpanch form the Gram Panchayat.
