The village had existed in India from time immemorial. India is called land of villages. About eighty percent of people live in villages. A village was a relatively self-sufficient unit.

Firoj Ansari & Prof. Mohammad Abid The period in between fall of Mughal era and consolidation of British rule in India ‘witnessed the gradual decline in the village community as an effective form of local polity’. “In this interregnum,” writes Hugh Tinkers, “the ties of the Social frameworks were loosened, and in many places, local institutions had been prevented and sapped before British Officials had any opportunity to assess their value.” Thus at the advent of the British rule, Panchayats were not found as full of vigour as they were in the earlier period.

Ancient Period Panchayati Raj Firoz Ansari & Prof. Mohammad Abid India has a long tradition of Village Panchayats. Their history can be traced back to ancient times. The establishment of the Panchayat is said to have guided and controlled the administration of the villages of India since time immemorial. R.K. Mukharji describes it as “a sort of Noah’s ark, which very safely protected the vital elements of Hindu civilization against the overwhelming deluges that swept over the country from time to time.” The village as a collective unit has been well-known ever since the Vedic period. Agriculture, being the chief occupation of the Vedic people, ‘grama’ became the basis of social life. Vedic Literature hardly seems to go beyond the …
