The students of grade 6 met “Sarpanch Shochandji” of “Sikopur village” as part of their PBL “Village”. The students had prepared a list of questions but as the
interaction proceeded, the number of questions too increased. The students asked questions such as:
• From where does the Panchayat get its funds?
• What changed has the Sarpanch brought in his village?
• What were the problems that the village and the Sarpanch faced?
• What are the criteria to become a Sarpanch?
• What happens if a Sarpanch is found guilty for some crime?
• Who keeps a check whether the funds given by the BDO is utilized efficiently?
This interaction not only provided an opportunity for the students to interact with a Sarpanch but it also gave them an opportunity to see and understand how democracy functions at the grass root level. Interaction
with the community and engaging in real life experiences is an important aspect of PBL. This aspect has wonderfully come out through this village visit.
