Zila Parishad

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

The apex tier of rural local government at the district level. Led by a chairperson, it includes elected members from the block level, MLAs, MPs from the district, and representatives from reserved categories. Zila Parishad oversees broader planning—district roads, major infrastructure, rural electrification, coordination of development schemes, and supervision of Panchayat Samitis. It formulates district plans, often working with line departments like agriculture and health. Funds come from central/state schemes (e.g., MGNREGA) and local revenues. Zila Parishad effectively acts as a link between state officials and village bodies, ensuring policy coherence. Yet, constraints like politicization and uneven resources impede robust district governance.
