A student of Delh

A. In my opinion the most suitable day is the day on which the maximum participation of the members of the Gram Sabha is ensured. Such a day may not be a precise by the Block Development Officer or the Collector. On the day of village hatt, the people are completely involved in its function. On Nag Panchami/Sanskrit, many members of the Gram Sabha would be coming to celebrate these festivals. On Sunday, the members of the Gram Sabha occupied in the district offices could easily attend but the women teachers would not attend. It my opinion the day of village haat would be the most suitable as most of the people are in the village to buy or sell the utilities.

B. The village school would be the most suitable venue because the school is for everyone and everybody and it should feel like their own. Looking at the religious place people from all communities might not turn up. Only the village school would be acceptable to all and everyone.

C. The proceedings of the Gram Sabha meeting described above cannot be termed as an instance of people’s participation. Firstly it was held on Sunday and on thus the women teachers did not attend it. A Gram Sabha meeting is held to discuss the problems concerning the village people. It is not heartening to note that the Gram Panchayat only discussed the steps for the organisation of an education rally. It should have discussed the substantive problems like girls education, attendance of children in village school, condition of the village school or the timing of the school.

D. By declaring a meeting arrangement we consider our class at Gram Sabha. The agenda of the meeting would be as follows:

1. To discuss the resist of the children who never attended school.

2. Several Poverty alleviation programmes.

3. The problems and condition of the village streets.

4. Various Cultural programmes conducted in the village.

5. To arrange several funds for the social and cultural programmes.

6. Coming to the conclusion- Lecture by Gram Pradhan (Leader of the village)
