Problem:
In spite of right to information act it is difficult to obtain information about the working methodology and decisions made by the various levels of the panchayats. In many areas where people have asked information related to working of panchayat from the sarpanch and the government officials, many cases have come to light where the people have been victimized. It is a common occurrence where the sarpanch in collusion with the police has registered false cases against such people. At many a places people have been attacked with intent to kill.
Suggestion:
To bring about transparency in the working of all levels of the panchayat, the documents related to works should be available freely. All documents related to gram, block and district panchayats should be available for scrutiny. Such a system should be devised where any one could inspect documents related to works without giving an application. For such purpose two days in week
should be reserved for a limited time in which this inspection could be carried out by common man. If some one demands a copy of any document, than he should get the photo copy of the document within seven days after paying the necessary charges. In case of any violation, the gram Sabha should have the power to punish the erring government employee.
