    Question: Which of the following bodies is responsible for development work at village level?

    Options:

    Tehsil
    Zilla Parishad
    Block
    Gram Panchayat (Correct Answer)

    ✅Explanation:
    The Gram Panchayat is the primary body responsible for development work at the village level in India. It is the lowest tier of the Panchayati Raj system, a three-tier system of local self-government. The Gram Panchayat is directly elected by the villagers and plays a crucial role in planning and implementing development projects at the village level.

    📌 Other Options Explained:
    -Tehsil: A tehsil is a sub-division of a district, but it's not a self-governing body. It might have some administrative functions, but development work typically falls under the Panchayati Raj system.
    -Zilla Parishad: The Zilla Parishad is the district-level body in the Panchayati Raj system. It coordinates development activities across the district but doesn't directly handle village-level projects.
    -Block: A block, also known as a Panchayat Samiti, is the intermediate tier between the Gram Panchayat and Zilla Parishad. It plays a role in channeling resources and overseeing the activities of Gram Panchayats within its jurisdiction. However, the Gram Panchayat holds primary responsibility for development work in its village.

    🔑Key Points:
    -The Zila Parishad, with the help of the Panchayat Samitis, regulates the money distribution among all the Gram Panchayats. 
    -It is also responsible for making developmental plans at the district level. 
    -Gram Sabha is a primary and permanent body of the Panchayati Raj System.
    -People of the village use this forum to discuss their issues and make need-based plans for the village.
