Assam has taken several steps for the delimitation of panchayat seats. Here are the key points regarding these steps:
  • Forming a Delimitation Commission: The state government has constituted the Delimitation Commission to carry out the delimitation process. This commission comprises officials and experts who are responsible for ensuring the proper demarcation of panchayat seats.
  • Data Collection: The commission has begun the process of collecting comprehensive data related to various parameters, including population, geographical boundaries, social and economic indicators, and other relevant factors. This data will form the basis for the delimitation exercise.
  • Public Participation: To ensure transparency and fairness, the commission has invited public participation. It has provided opportunities for individuals and organizations to submit their suggestions, objections, and recommendations regarding the delimitation process.
  • Mapping and Demarcation: The commission has been actively involved in mapping and demarcating the panchayat boundaries based on the collected data and inputs received from the public. This process involves setting boundaries for the respective panchayat seats.
  • Finalization and Notification: Once the mapping and demarcation process is complete, the Delimitation Commission will prepare the final delimitation report. Upon approval from the state government, this report will be published and notified, signifying the finalization of the delimitation of panchayat seats in Assam.
These steps collectively aim to ensure fair representation and efficient functioning of the panchayat system in Assam.
