The Panchayati Raj Department
The Panchayati Raj Department (PRD) in Bihar came into existence in 2007. It mainly interacts with two ministries at the central level — the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) and the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR).
Panchayati Raj Department is considered an important department because of the amount of funds that it handles and also because of its activities that bear on rural development and poverty alleviation.
It is also the most fundamental department through which attempts are made for grassroots democracy and decentralization of power through PRIs which have become the fulcrum of all development activities.
