The Village (Dweep) Panchayats in the islands are implementing
various developmental schemes of two categories. The first category is the
schemes evolved by themselves. The Second category is those schemes which
have been transferred to these Panchayats by the Developmental Departments of
Lakshadweep Administration. The Schemes have been transferred by the administration
with necessary staff and assets. Funds are also made
available from time to time to these Panchayats for the implementation of these
Schemes.
