Work and livelihood
As in most of rural Rajasthan, people around Singhniyan live mainly off farming (wheat, mustard, gram and barley in the Rabi season, bajra, guar, moong, moth or groundnut in the Kharif season, depending on the area), along with dairy and job guarantee wage work. Since July 2026 that’s VB-G RAM G, which replaced MGNREGA: a household with a job card from the gram panchayat can get at least 125 days of paid work a year. Farmers can sign up for PM-KISAN and a Kisan Credit Card through the block agriculture office or a Common Service Centre.
Administration
Under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, Singhniyan is run by its elected Sarpanch, the Up-Sarpanch and the ward members. The Gram Sabha, made up of all adult voters, approves the yearly plan and the list of scheme beneficiaries. The Gram Vikas Adhikari (VDO) sent by the Balghat block office keeps the family register, the accounts and the birth and death register.
Every gram panchayat in Rajasthan has to form 5 committees: Administration and Establishment Committee (chaired by the Sarpanch), Finance and Taxation Committee, Development and Production Programmes Committee (farming, animal husbandry, minor irrigation and allied work), Education Committee and Social Services and Social Justice Committee (water supply, health, sanitation). The Gram Sabha has to meet at least twice a year, once in the first and once in the last quarter of the financial year. It goes over the accounts and approves the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP), which is then uploaded on eGramSwaraj. Any voter of the village can attend and ask questions.
| Office | Where | Handles |
|---|---|---|
| Sarpanch | Singhniyan | Development works, Gram Sabha, scheme beneficiary selection |
| Gram Vikas Adhikari (VDO) | Singhniyan / Balghat | Family register, birth & death registration, records |
| Patwari | Balghat Tehsil | Land records, jamabandi (nakal), income/caste verification |
