Funds have been released from the Center and the 15th Finance Committee. Panchayat workers do not receive timely salaries. Even the secretary of the bleaching powder is not in the hands of the Secretary. The sewage canals are overflowing. The plants planted during the water or the KCR period are drying up. The village nature, the nurseries of the nurseries. The tractor purchased by each village is corner. The management of Vaikunthadham has become disorganized.
Villages
The main source of funds provided by the 15th Finance Committee, the State Finance Committee and the State Government for the Gram Panchayats. The 15th Finance Committee will release the funds of the 15th Finance Committee at a cost of Rs. Since there are no village panchayat ruling classes, there has been no funding from the Center since February 2024. Large gram panchayats provide some funds through home taxes, business taxes, tybazar, building fees, business and commercial licenses. Except the government’s funds to small villages, the financial income is not large. Panchayat Secretaries have been facing severe difficulties in collecting garbage and pouring diesel in tractors, buying bleaching powder, drinking water motors, streetlights, sanitation management and other daily activities.
