India’s civilization and culture are very ancient many civilization and culture emerge from our country and spread across the world. According to Gandhi ‘Our country resides in the village’. The village has always been an important entity of social, cultural, political and economic life as well as an important Institution of administration from the past to present era. Indian history is replete with evidence of decentralized governance. In the literature of vedic period, meetings (sabhas) and committees (samitiyan) have been mentioned, jatak stories (jatak katha) are beautiful depicting of the villages in the fourth and fifth century BC.
