Block pramukh

It is a rural local government body at the Tehsil (block) level in India.

It works for the villages of the tehsil that together are called a development block.

[2][3][4] The 73rd Amendment is about Rural Local Governments (which are also known as Panchayati Raj Institutions or PRIs)[5] Typically, a panchayat samiti is composed of elected members of the area, and the Block Development Officer, otherwise unrepresented members (representatives of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and women), associate members (such as a farmer of the area, a representative of the cooperative societies, and one from the agricultural marketing services sector), and the elected members of that panchayat block (tehsil) on the zila parishad (district board).

[7] Panchayat Samiti collects all the prospective plans prepared at Gram Panchayat level and processes them for funding and implementation by evaluating them from the angles of financial constraints, social welfare and area development.

It also identifies and prioritizes the issues which need to be addressed at block level.
