Gujarat Forms 56 All-Women Gram Panchayats

Gujarat Forms 56 All-Women Gram Panchayats

In Gujarat, some villages have special councils called Mahila Samras Gram Panchayats.

This means all the leaders in the village are women, and they were chosen without a regular election.

Instead, the villagers agreed on who they wanted.

There are 56 of these villages, with Mehsana having the most.

This is part of a plan where villages choose leaders by agreeing, making sure everyone gets a say.

It's like choosing class representatives without voting, where everyone works together to pick the best people for the job!
