Solution
The Gram Sabha is the collection of all adults who live in the area covered by a Panchayat. Anyone who is 18 years old or more, and who has the right to vote is a member of the Gram Sabha. The Gram Panchayat, on the other hand, is a collection of the elected representatives of a Gram Sabha. The members of the Gram Panchayat are called the Ward members or the Panch. The Gram Panchayat is elected for a period of five years. The Gram Sabha is a permanent body. Issues are raised in the Gram Sabha, but it is the Gram Panchayat which implements the decisions.
