Detailed Solution

The above statement is True,
At the village level, the sarpanch is the elected head of the Gram Panchayat, works with the ward panch, and coordinates the activities of other Panchs in the panchayat. The Gram sabha elects him and, thus, is answerable to the gram sabha for their actions, policies, and decisions for the good of the local people. Sarpanch is elected for five years and can be re-elected also. On the other hand, a secretary is not an elected head. Still, an appointed position coordinating between the gram sabha and gram panchayat holds joint meetings and maintains cooperation between the two bodies. A secretary is the secretary to the gram panchayat and gram sabha and keeps records of all the proceedings between the two.
