Panchayati Raj extends to three levels, Gram Panchayat covering one or more villages, Janpad Panchayat or Panchayat Samiti covering many Gram Panchayats and the third level is District Panchayat or Zila Parishad covering many Janpad Panchayats. Zila Parishad makes developmental plans at the District level and regulates money distribution amongst all Gram Panchayats, with the help of Panchayat Samitis.
