Note: The powers and functions devolved to the PRI’s so far by the government by way of legislation, notification and executive orders mainly pertain to
supervision, monitoring, reporting, planning and issues of contractual appointment. Funds and functionaries are still to be transferred. The
current situation is one in which apart from responsibility for solid waste management and maintenance of a limited number of local assets, there is
no other function assigned to rural local bodies. Almost the entire staff is under the State government. In the case of staff appointing authority of
which is the Gram Panchayat, selection is done by a Committee headed by state govt.functionaries and their emoluments are fully met through
grant in aid by the state govt. The power of inspection given to PRIs is not backed up by the authority of taking action. As such this power is limited
to reporting of attendance etc. The control of buildings handed over to GP’s is without real control over maintenance funds. In sum, all this
strengthens the perception that rural local bodies are only agents of the state government (largely for carrying out works) and have little or no
autonomous responsibility for any function at their own level. So no substantial powers have been delegated to PRI’s. Source: Note on present
