Abstract

Panchayati Raj Institutions in India has key role in the governance and development of rural areas. However, these institutions are not able to perform effectively due to inadequate devolution of functions, finances and functionaries. To overcome the inadequate number of human resource at the Gram Panchayat level, the Government of Jharkhand took a decision in the year 2016 to deploy four local Panchayat Volunteers in every GP. They are not paid salary but incentives for carrying out assigned work. With a purpose to document and also to examine the efficacy of this initiative, the NIRDPR has conducted a study. This paper shared the key findings of that study and also recommends measures to improve performance of these Panchayat volunteers.
