Which of the following statements is not true regarding 'Gram Sabha'?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the powers and functions of the Gram Sabha are determined by the State Legislature, not the Central Government. According to Article 243A of the Indian Constitution, a Gram Sabha may exercise such powers and perform such functions at the village level as the Legislature of a State may, by law, provide.

Other points are correct:

  • Statement A: The Gram Sabha is considered the foundation of the Panchayati Raj system. It functions as a deliberative body at the village level, analogous to the role of a State Legislature at the state level.
  • Statement C: As defined in Article 243(b), the Gram Sabha is a body consisting of persons registered in the electoral rolls (voters) relating to a village comprised within the area of Panchayat at the village level.
