Problem:
The secretary of the panchayat is appointed by the state government. He in collusion with sarpanch and other officials fosters corruption. He is not at all accountable to the people and therefore, the people have no control over him.
Suggestion:
The appointment of panchayat secretary should be done by the gram Sabha. His role should be limited to implementing the decisions of the gram Sabha. Gram sabhas should have complete
control over him, which includes power to punish the secretary, stop his salary and if the need be power to suspend him from the post.
