(b)  Varied degree of devolution of power in terms of funds, functions and functionaries to Panchayati Raj  Institutions  (PRIs)  in  various  States,  timely  non-availability  or  non-release  of  State'  s  share  for

implementation of the scheme of RGSA for capacity building of the PRIs, lack of coordination between departmental functionaries and PRIs at GP level are some of the major constraints and short comings coming in the way of effective functioning of Panchayats. Senior officers of the Ministry undertake periodical review/ physical checks on the functioning of the PRIs from time to time.  Moreover, various studies, particularly the status of devolution of power to the Panchayats are conducted by the Ministry to assess the status of devolution of power to the Panchayats by the States and the reports of which are shared with the States and other stakeholders to improve the functioning of the PRIs.

(c) The Ministry of Panchayati Raj conducts studies to analyse the extent of devolution of power in terms of   funds, functions and functionaries to the PRIs for ranking of the States in terms of power devolved to the Panchayats for monitoring of the functioning of the PRIs.
