Abstract
The village is a part of Dhari Taluk which consists of 37 villages. The Block Development Officer Mr. Kailash Dave (+919917528101) described the organization of the administration which consists of the Gram Panchayat at the village level which is superseded by the Block Administration followed by the District level administration. “The village has a Gram Panchayat once every 2 months where around 60-70 issues with varying levels of urgencies are suggested by the voting population of Dhanachuli. These proposals are filtered and about half of these proposals are furthered to the Block Administration. The remaining proposals are catered by the village Panchayat itself.”
The government made it mandatory for a woman to be the head of the Panchayat for the term 2014-2019 but it seems that the same has been done for the namesake. Though the village head was a woman, the decision making authority seems to rest with the father-in-law of the village head who had been the Sarpanch before this guideline was imposed by the government.
