Panchayat works at the village level for the economic and social development of the village. Substantial participation of people in Panchayat Raj Institution’s efforts improves the status and of rural areas as a whole. Facilitating rural residents' involvement and participation in panchayat’s affairs enhances development initiatives.The primary aim of the present paper is to highlight the importance of the Panchayati Raj System and to analyse transparency and system of Panchayat in villages. The paper also discusses that the Right to Information act gathers and brings on record all the official data of villages which is otherwise difficult to be excavated and maintain at the village level due to a lack of resources. This leads to the maintenance of Transparency and better governance at the village level. A similar role is played by the citizen’s charter. It has been suggested that public’s voice, awareness and participation is needed in local self-government organisations to operate well and for development programmes to be carried out effectively. This is possible only with effective coordination and by making sure the public has access to all the information, they need about the government’s workings.
