It is in this context that the present article focuses on the need and significance of transparency in their functions. To ensure transparency, measures suggested include convening of regular meetings of gram sabhas, generating of awareness, provision of equal opportunities, prior approval of development works, circulation of proceedings, wide publicity of programmes, involvement of reputed NGOs and imbibing of democratic and moral values, etc. - Reproduced.
