Panchayats’ being a State subject, it is the mandate of State Governments to provide the required manpower and infrastructure, including buildings to them. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj provides financial assistance to the States for construction of Panchayat Ghars under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Yojana (RGSY). The Ministry also provides funds to States under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) which are in the nature of untied grants for the PRIs to undertake works based on felt local needs. Funds are also available to States under Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme of Ministry of Rural Development. Many States have taken up construction of Panchayat Ghars under these schemes.
As per information available, out of 9177 Gram Panchayats in the State of Rajasthan, 422 Gram Panchayats do not have Panchayat Ghars. The decision to construct Panchayat Ghars is taken by the State Government and in case of BRGF by the Panchayats.
