      Explain briefly the structure of local government.  

    Answer:

                      The local government is a three-tier structure. At the top is the District or Zila Parishad, few blocks form a Zila, so blocks have Block or Mandal and then few villages form a block and a village panchayat. The smallest unit of our country is a village and at the village level we have Gram Panchayat, which is run by a head called Sarpanch with his team of representatives. A few Gram Panchayats fall under a Block. At Block level, we have a Panchayat Samiti or Block Committee. All Panchayat Samitis of a district are under a district having a local government called Zila Parishad. Members of Lok Sabha and MLAs of that district also become the members of Zila Parishad.
