What are the weaknesses of the Panchayati Raj System?
Panchayati Raj System has brought democracy at the grass-root level. In spite of having many important advantages of this system, it also has some weaknesses.
The main weaknesses of the Panchayati Raj System are the following:
1. Most of the villagers are illiterate. Same is the case with the members of the Village Panchayats. So, they are unable to understand the real concept of democracy.
2. The villages do not have the real environment for democracy. The village people still have the differences in their minds which are based on caste system and jealousy.
3. In most of the villages, the political parties interfere in the working of the Village Panchayats. Although there is no place for the political parties in the local self-government.
