Overview

Keeping in view 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 (GP) at village level,Kshetra Panchayat (KP) at intermediate level and Zila Panchayat (ZP) at the district level. The system of PRI aimed at increasing participation of people and effective implementation of rural development programmes.The overall supervision, coordination,planning and implementation of developmental schemes vested with the Zila Panchayat.

At the end of March 2009, there were 71 ZPs 1 , 820 KPs and 51,976 GPs in the State. The population of the State covered under PRIs as per census 2001, was 13.22 crore. The last election to the elected bodies of these PRIs was held during June 2005 to October 2005 in which 51,976 Gram Pradhan for GPs, 816 Pramukh for KPs and 70 Adhyaksha for ZPs were elected.
