how is the block samiti formed?

The committee that works at the block level  is called as Block Samiti. It  is an important link between the village Panchayat and Zila Parishad. The committee is elected by the members of the Gram Panchayat in a block from among themselves. Apart from these elected members the samiti includes the members of the lok sabha, rajya sabha, Vidhan Sabha, and Vidhan parishad who have their constituency in that block. All the members of the Block Samiti elect a chairperson and vice president for five years.
