The 73rd Amendment Act of 1992 established the Gram Sabha institution to promote public involvement in local administration and to overcome India's democratic deficit. This study intends to examine how the inhabitants of Gram Panchayat Chak Kalan in Jalandhar, Punjab, participate in Gram Sabha for rural development and empowerment, assess how well Gram Sabha fulfils its constitutional role, and provide ways to increase its effectiveness. A mixed-method technique is used in the study to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. The study's goals are to determine how well-informed Gram Sabha members are about their responsibilities and roles within Panchayati Raj Institutions, how actively they participate in PRI decisionmaking, and what obstacles stand in the way of their full participation. The study's conclusions will provide information about the purpose and significance of Gram Sabha in encouraging public participation in politics as well as suggestions for enhancing its effectiveness in rural governance.
