Role of Self Help Groups / Committees in Gram Sabha

Departments like Rural Development, Agriculture, Education, Health, RWS etc have created certain committees with in the jurisdiction of the Gram Panchayat for the purpose of implementing certain schemes or programmes. The most important among these committees working in the jurisdiction Gram panchayat are:

1. Water Users Associations
2. Village Education Committees
3. Mothers’ committees
4. Village organization of Women self help groups
5. Village Drinking Water and Sanitation Committee
6. Village Health and Sanitation Committee
7. Watershed Committee
8. Vana Samrakshana Samithis.

As all these committees carry out activities which are confined only to the specific programmes. Therefore Gram Sabha is a good forum to bring synergy among various committees to have a proper horizontal linking for successful implemention of their programmes with the help of other Committees. For example the Village Health and Sanitation Committee has to coordinate with the Village Water and Sanitation Committee as the drinking water has a direct bearing on the public health. Such coordination is only possible if sarpancha takes an initiative through Gramsabha. These Committees can also strive to improve the attendance at Gram Sabhas.
