The Sarpanch is directly responsible for ensuring the execution of responsibilities in the gram panchayat. The Sarpanch shall regulate the gram sabha meetings through the secretary. The Sarpanch should ensure that the minutes of the gram sabha are recorded. The Sarpanch monitors the performance of all the officers of the gram panchayat.
