Take an example of any one task done by a Panchayat in your area/nearby rural area and find out the following:

(a) Why it was taken up.

(b) Where the money came from.

(c) Whether or not the work has been completed.

Visit the nearest panchayat and meet its head i.e., the Sarpanch. He/she is the person who would be able to answer most of your questions. Then, you could visit the houses of some of the villagers to check with them if the panchayat has been successful in completing the tasks.
