Panchayat Samiti and Block Panchayat in India

Panchayat samiti or block panchayat is a rural local government body at the intermediate tehsil (taluka/mandal) or block level in India.

It works for the villages of the tehsil that together are called a development block and serves as the link between the gram panchayat and the zila parishad.

The name varies across states, such as mandal parishad in Andhra Pradesh, taluka panchayat in Gujarat, and mandal panchayat or taluk panchayat in Karnataka.
