Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Dr.C.P.Joshi today informed the Lok
Sabha that for central compilation of names and details of Panchayats, Ministry of Panchayati
Raj has provided an online facility under ‘National Panchayat
Directory’ (http://www.panchayat.gov.in/directory)
that allows States and districts to upload the list of Panchayats
along with villages and blocks. The
number of Panchayats, State-wise, as reported by
States/ UTs is given in the Annexure.
Replying to a written question
the minister said the
norms/ parameters for declaration/change of Panchayats
are decided by State Govts/ UT administrations and
vary from State to State.
