Uttar Pradesh

Overview

In keeping with the 73rd Constitutional amendment, Uttar Pradesh Kshetra Panchayat and Zila Panchayat Adhiniyam was enacted in 1994 to establish a three-tier Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs) system of elected bodies-Gram Panchayats (GPs) at village level, Kshetra Panchayats (KPs) at intermediate level and Zila Panchayats (ZPs) at the district level.

Besides paving way for decentralization of functions, functionaries and funds until then vested with the State Government, the system (PRIs) 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 ZPs.

At the end of 31 March 2006, there were 70 Zila Panchayats, 820 Kshetra Panchayats and 52002 Gram Panchayats in the State. Total rural population of the State was 13.22 crore as per census 2001. Last election was held during June 2005- October 2005 in which 51976-Gram Pradhan, 816 Pramukh, Kshetra Panchayat and 70 Adhykha, Zila Panchayat were elected.
