Uttar Pradesh

Overview

In keeping with the Seventy Third Constitutional Amendment (1992), Uttar Pradesh Kshetra Panchayat and Zila Panchayat Adhiniyam were enacted in 1994 to establish a three-tier Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) system of elected bodies. The Act envisages decentralization of power to Rural Self Governing Bodies, viz.

Gram Panchayat at village level, Kshetra Panchayat at intermediate level and Zila Panchayat at the district level which till then vested with the State Government. The system of PRI aimed at increasing participation of people and effective implementation of rural development programmes. The overall supervision, co-ordination, planning and implementation of developmental schemes vested with the Zila Panchayat.

At the end of March 2008, there were 70 Zila Panchayats (ZPs), 820 Kshetra Panchayats (KPs) and 52002 Gram Panchayats (GPs) in the State. The total rural population of the State, as per Census 2001, was 13.22 crore. The last election to the elected bodies of these PRIs was held during June to October 2005 in which 51976 Gram Pradhan for Gram Panchayats, 816 Pramukh for Kshetra Panchayats and 70 Adhyaksha for Zila Panchayats were elected.
