ORDER:

Gram Swaraj was the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and formed the bedrock
of political ideology during the freedom struggle. In order to translate this
dream into reality and to usher in democratic decentralisation, the Constitution
of India was amended through 73rd Amendment Act, thereby according

  46
 constitutional status to the Panchayat Raj Institutions. The central objective of
this path-breaking initiative is to accelerate physical and socio- economic
development of rural areas within a participatory governance framework. It is
envisaged that the Panchayat Raj Institutions act as a vibrant third tier of
government in rural areas, preparing and implementing plans for economic
development and social justice.

2. Gram Panchayat and Gram Sabha are two main instruments of self-
governance at the village level. Both these institutions are headed by Gram
Sarpanch. Thus, the Sarpanch has to play a pivotal role in actualizing the goals of
democratic decentralisation to the grassroots level as enshrined in the Constitution
of India. He/she should articulate the perceptions about self- governance of the
Village and ensure the effective participation of Members of Gram Panchayat and
villagers in the decision-making processes relating to village development,
particularly planning, administration, and delivery of public services. The Sarpanch
needs to instil the pride of MANA VURU (Our Village) amongst the villagers and
act as a Change Agent for Village Transformation.

3. The Ministry of Panchayat Raj, Government of India have introduced Rajiv

Gandhi Panchayat Sashaktikaran Abhiyan (RGPSA), a new scheme aimed at
strengthening the Panchayat Raj System in the country, especially Gram
Panchayats. As part of this exercise, orders have been issued in the G.O. read
above wherein 32 village level government functionaries responsible for 29
different functions are made accountable to Gram Sabhas. These 32 functionaries
need to work closely with the Gram Sarpanch if the Gram Panchayat has to
transform into a platform of convergence, accountability and transparency for
effective implementation of flagship programmes of the Government. He/she is
expected to act as a catalyst for the integrated development of the Village with
clearly defined goals and targets in respect of basic minimum services. He should
specifically focus on:

• Micro planning and prioritization of needs in the Village

• Convergence of funds and functionaries of all Government schemes at

the village level to achieve human development goals.

4. Gram Panchayat as a unit of self-governance at village level and as a

platform to articulate the needs and aspirations of people within its jurisdiction is
expected to champion the responsibility to promote economic development and
social justice. This is possible only when all field level functionaries and the
Committees established by various Government departments at the village level
work closely with the Sarpanch and Members of Gram Panchayat to achieve the
targets set for development of village in a time-bound manner. The Government
feels that entrusting certain ‘leadership’ and ‘coordination’functions to Sarpanch
would help in strengthening the Gram Panchayat Administration and promoting
convergence of various Government schemes in the field. Further, the Sarpanches

  47
 must strive to achieve physical and socio- economic development targets under
various schemes. The best-performing Gram Panchayats, under the leadership of
Sarpanches will be identified in a transparent manner, incentivized for their good
work and awarded.

5. In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 268 read with

Sections 45 and 46 of A.P.P.R Act 1994 and in pursuance of the orders issued on
devolution of powers to Panchayat Raj Institutions, the Government hereby
order that the following important functions be discharged/coordinated by the
Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat (25-Point Agenda) besides other functions
stipulated in APPR Act 1994.

close linkages with Gram Panchayat and achieve convergence. If any of the
field level government or Panchayat functionary fails to assist the Gram
Panchayat/Sarpanch in discharging the above functions, the Sarpanch should
send written complaint to the disciplinary authority concerned. The disciplinary
authority in turn should submit Action Taken Report to the Sarpanch concerned.
Any slackness in this matter on the part of disciplinary authority will be viewed
seriously. The District Panchayat Officer/District Collector shall monitor the
action taken by the respective disciplinary authorities every month.

7. Continuous capacity building of Sarpanches and Ward Members is an

essential requirement for effective discharge of functions entrusted to Gram

role in organizing training programmes to the Sarpanches in the activities/
functions concerned in coordination with the AMR-APARD and Commissioner
of Panchayat Raj in this regard. Priority in training shall be given to conducting
exposure visits to innovative practices and participatory interactive training
sessions. The quality of training shall be assessed based on the performance
of Gram Panchayats led by Sarpanches on the above indicators.

  51
 8. There shall be a web based monitoring and assessment system for
continuous tracking of performance of Gram Panchayats in terms of the
achievements on the Village Development Agenda. All GPs in the state will be
assessed and ranked on the effective discharge of the 25 functions
mentioned above. Awards will be given to the best performing Gram Panchayats
led by Sarpanches at Mandal, District and State level on theIndependence
Day celebration held every year. For this purpose Panchayat Performance
Assessment Committee will be set up at State, District and Mandal level. The
details of composition of the Committees, selection process, number of
awards, amount of award at each level, format of proposal and
questionnaire for assessment of performance will be issued in due course.

9. The Gram Panchayat Sarpanches in the state will take action for the
preparation of Village Development Plan/Agenda, including Spatial Plan. The
Director of Town & Country Planning shall prepare model Village Spatial Plan
guidelines and circulate the same to District Collectors/District Panchyat
officers to enable them to prepare Village Spatial Plans. He/she must ensure
that all the villages in the agglomerations of metropolitan/urban development
authorities have spatial plans approved so that developments in these
villages do not take place haphazardly. The Commissioner, Panchayat Raj shall
prepare model Village Development Plans/guidelines and circulate the same to
Districts for guidance.

10. The Commissioner, Panchayat Raj and Rural Employment is requested to

take necessary follow up action on the above orders in coordination with the

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION ( GENERAL / LEGISLATURE COORDINATION) DEPARTMENT

G.O.Ms.No. 791 Dated: 07.11.2013

Read the following:
1. G.O.Ms.No. 162 Panchayat Raj & Rural Development (Panchayats.I) Department,
Dated 4.4.1997
2. From the Commissioner, Panchayat Raj & Rural Employment, Hyderabad
Letter No.3806/D3/2009, dated.20.9.2013 & 30.9.2013

ORDER

Article 243(A) of the Constitution of India has enabled the State Legislatures to empower Gram
Sabha by endowing them with certain statutory powers. Sections 45, 161 and 192 of the APPR Act 1994
have entrusted certain specific functions to Panchayat Raj Institutions as mentioned in Annexure-I. Gram
Sabha is a constitutional body and the nucleus of democratic power in the local governance system; it is the
basic unit for village development and decentralised planning. Gram Sabha acts as a platform for peoples’
participation, maintains surveillance of various development activities implemented in the village(s), raises
issues relating to the village(s) concerned, and ensures transparency and accountability in the functioning of
Panchayat Raj Institutions and line departments at the grassroots level. Also the most appropriate and
effective institution at the village level for conducting social audit of activities undertaken by Government
Departments/Organisations and Panchayat Raj Institutions is Gram Sabha. When empowered, the Gram
Sabha is capable of ushering in a culture of transparency and accountability in government at the local level
by acting as “Village Level Platform for Transparency, Accountability and Convergence” for planning
and implementation of socio-economic development and welfare programmes.

2. In the reference 2nd read above, the Commissioner, Panchayat Raj & Rural Employment, Andhra Pradesh,
Hyderabad has submitted proposals duly stating that in Andhra Pradesh every Gram Panchayat shall statutorily
convene the Gram Sabha at least twice in a year. Two common dates namely 14th April and 3rd October in
a year are fixed for conduct of Gram Sabha meeting as per APPR Act 1994 wherein the Sarpanch of the
Gram Panchayat shall convene the Gram Sabha meeting. However, in pursuance of the instructions from

  153

Government of India, circular instructions have been issued by Commissioner, Panchayat Raj to all District
Panchayat Officers to conduct Gram Sabhas 4 times in a year i.e., on 1) 2nd January, 2) 14th April 3). 1st
July and 4) 3rd October vide Commissioner, PR&RE Office Memo.No.3806/CPR&RE/D2/2009
dated:06.06.2011.
3. In pursuance of Article 243 (A) of the Constitution of India, the Gram Sabha is incorporated under
Section 6 of APPR Act 1994. As per the said Section, the subjects for discussion in the Gram Sabhas are
as follows:
i. Annual statement of accounts and audit report;
ii. Report on administration of the preceding year;
iii. Programme of works for the year or any new programme not covered by the budget
or the annual programme;
iv. Proposals for fresh taxation or for enhancement of existing taxes;
v. Selection of schemes, beneficiaries and locations; and
vi. Such other matters as may be prescribed.

In addition to the items listed above, the following matters are also to be placed before the Gram Sabha
in terms of orders issued in the G.O. 1st read above.
i. Village agricultural production plans;
ii. Work of village volunteer force;
iii. Utilization of land development funds;
iv. Work of Cooperatives;
v. Particulars of location of common lands in villages i.e., porambokes vesting in
Panchayats and other relevant particulars;
vi. Particulars of transfers of ownership of houses and other immovable properties;
vii. Copy of the approved budget estimates of the Gram Panchayat;
viii. Copy of the audit report on the accounts of the Gram Panchayat; and
ix. List of defaulters, who are in arrears of payment of taxes and fees due to the Gram
Panchayat.

4. Further, the Commissioner, Panchayat Raj & Rural Employment Department has stated that in
pursuance of the 73rd Amendment to the Constitution of India, 29 general powers and functions have been
entrusted to the Panchayat Raj Institutions under Sections 45, 161, and 192 of APPR Act 1994. As part of
the devolution of powers to Panchayat Raj Institutions, certain other functions have already been devolved
to these institutions by the respective line departments and orders to that effect have been issued as in
Annexure.II.

5. Despite the Constitutional mandate and specific orders on devolution of powers to Panchayats, the
effective discharge of transferred functions/subjects/activities at the village level are not being monitored or
reviewed by the Heads of Departments effectively. Government felt that there is need to make all out effort
to empower the Gram Sabha with a view to ensuring that government programmes and schemes reach the
people. As a first step to ensure effective community participation in development and welfare activities
undertaken by the Government at the Gram Panchayat level, the concerned field level functionaries of all

  154

line departments/organisations should participate in and be made accountable to the Gram Sabha. This
step will go a long way in realising the goal of Gram Sabha being a “Village Level Platform for
Transparency, Accountability and Convergence” for all socio-economic development and welfare
programmes of State and local governments.
6. In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 268 read with Sections 6, 45,
161 and 192 of Andhra Pradesh .Panchayat Raj Act 1994 and in pursuance of the orders issued on
devolution of powers to Panchayat Raj Institutions, the Govt. hereby direct that the grassroots level
functionaries of all Departments mentioned in the Annexure.III must participate in the Grama Sabha held by
the respective Gram Panchayats in their jurisdiction along with status notes, action plans and physical and
financial progress reports as designed by the respective line departments for various activities mentioned in
the Annexure III. This will ensure effective peoples’ participation, keep surveillance over quantity and
quality of works, raise issues pertaining to the village(s) concerned and ensure transparency and accountability
in implementation of socio-economic development programmes as per the provisions of Constitution of
India, APPR Act 1994 and the rules issued by various Government Departments thereunder. The Gram
Sabha, under guidelines of Central and State schemes issued, if any, should be conducted under the provisions
of Section 6 of Andhra Pradesh .Panchayat Raj Act 1994 only. All the respective Heads of the Departments
and the District Collectors should ensure the participation of field level functionaries in the Gram Sabha as
ordered above. District Collectors, Joint Collectors, Additional Joint Collectors, Chief Executive Officer,
Zilla Parishad, other District Officers, Divisional Officers and Mandal level Officers shall make effort to
attend some Gram Sabha meetings to spread the message that the Government accords utmost importance
to the strengthening of Panchayats.
7. Since four Gram Sabhas are to be held in each Gram Panchayat, the respective village level/field
functionaries of the concerned Departments shall furnish information
on various aspects of their functioning to Panchayat Secretaries as follows in addition to the information
demanded by the Members of Gram Sabha:
1st Gram Sabha (14th April): Status of Programmes/Activities implemented in the
previous financial year (Physical and Financial
Progress); Report on Evaluation/Social Audit
conducted, if any; Action Plan and Budget for the
current financial year;
2nd Gram Sabha (1st July) Beneficiaries identified under various development
and welfare programmes; public works taken up/
being taken up; Physical and Financial Progress
Reports;
3rd Gram Sabha (3rd October) Progress in implementation of beneficiary-oriented
programmes/activities and public works taken up in
the village(s) - Physical and Financial Progress
Reports, Review of services delivered through Direct
Benefit Transfer (DBT), Mid-course corrections
effected, if any, etc. ,
4th Gram Sabha (2nd January) Overall Performance and Impacts of the programmes/
activities undertaken - Evaluation conducted, if any,

  155

 etc.,
8. The respective field level functionaries of line departments should provide the required information
to the Panchayat Secretary concerned at least one week in advance prior to the date of Gram Sabha. The
Mandal level officers of the respective departments shall be responsible to ensure the furnishing of required
information to the Gram Sabha concerned in time. The Panchayat Secretary will consolidate the entire
information and distribute to the members of the Gram Sabha. The Panchayat Secretary should also arrange
for videograph of the proceedings of the Gram Sabha as part of the documentation. A photograph of the
Gram Sabha should also be uploaded in the website of the Department.
9. Some field level functionaries may need to attend more than one Gram Sabhas in a single day since
Village level field officials may have jurisdiction over more than one Gram Panchayat. In order to conduct
the Gram Sabhas in a meaningful way, the Extension Officer (PR&RD) and Divisional Panchayat Officer
concerned should ensure conducting Gram Sabhas within a week commencing the day as indicated in para
7 above (for example: April14 + 6 days) staggering the date and timing for conduct of Gram Sabhas in such
a way that the respective field functionaries would be in a position to attend all Gram Sabhas in his/her
jurisdiction.
10. If any of the respective field level functionary fails to attend the Gram Sabha, the resolution of the
Gram Sabha to that extent shall be forwarded to the respective disciplinary authority of the department
concerned. The respective department should submit action taken report on the Gram Sabha resolution to
the Gram Panchayat under intimation to District Collector. The Gram Sabha is constitutionally empowered
to plan, review, and monitor the activities of development and welfare departments. Thus, whenever the
Gram Sabha raises some issues and suggests improvements, the authorities of the department concerned
should take immediate necessary action. They shall place an Action Taken Report before the Gram Sabha
through the Gram Panchayat concerned.
11. In order to facilitate the Gram Sabha in a structured manner, Resource Teams shall be constituted
at the district and mandal level. The members of the Resource Team

may be selected from the Civil Society Organizations (NGOs), Village volunteers, Active Social Workers,etc.,
as was done in Social Audit teams in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Generation Scheme.
The Resource Teams will assist the Gram Panchayats in mobilizing the people and conducting the Gram
Sabha. Selection, Composition of Resource Team, Honorarium, and other logistical support shall be provided
by the Commissioner, Panchayat Raj and Rural Employment. The necessary Training to the Resource
Teams shall be provided by the AMR-A.P. Academy of Rural Development . The expenditure shall be met
from the training funds available with them such as Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Sasakthikaran Abhiyan, Backward
Regional Grant Fund and from other Scheme grants implemented by the line departments, etc.,

12. All Heads of Departments in the State shall take necessary action for effective implementation of the
above orders. They shall ensure that all their programmes and works are monitored online through the
Habitation Score Card framework and that the relevant physical and financial progress reports are available
in the websites of the department to ensure utmost transparency. The Panchayat Raj Department, in
association with Information Technology & Communications Department shall ensure that e-Panchayat
programme is implemented in all Districts and there is proper interface between e-Panchayat and Habitation
Score Card applications. The Commissioner, Panchayat Raj and Rural Employment shall take necessary
action for the implementation of this Government Order and give wide publicity to the same. The District
Collectors, Chief Executive Officers of Zilla Parishads/District Panchayat Officers shall submit quarterly
