Administration

Sakraura Rural Gram Panchayat is run by an elected Gram Pradhan (village head), an Up-Pradhan and ward members. Every adult voter in the panchayat’s villages is a member of the Gram Sabha. The Panchayat Secretary (Gram Panchayat Adhikari), posted by Colonelganj block, keeps the day-to-day records and registers births and deaths.

Every gram panchayat in Uttar Pradesh has to form 6 committees: Planning and Development Committee (chaired by the Pradhan), Education Committee, Construction Works Committee, Health and Welfare Committee, Administrative Committee and Water Management Committee. The Gram Sabha has to meet at least twice a year (after the Kharif and Rabi harvests). 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.
