Administration
Under the Uttar Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1947, Shivpur is run by its elected Gram Pradhan, the Up-Pradhan and the ward members. The Gram Sabha, made up of all adult voters, approves the yearly plan and the list of scheme beneficiaries. The Panchayat Secretary (Gram Panchayat Adhikari) sent by the Sardarnagar block office keeps the Parivar Register (family register), the accounts and the birth and death register.
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.
