To integrate various developmental activities the Balwantrai Mehta Committee proposed the formation of local committees, equivalent to Block Development, called the Panchayat Samitis. This was to be called Zilla Parishad at the district level. With decentralized administration, the Gram Panchayat, the Panchayat Samiti and the Zilla Parishad are empowered with implementation of development schemes.
An act known as the Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Act, 1961 was passed in 1961 to establish Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis. They were given local Government functions and charged with execution of certain works and development work in the State Five-Year Plan. Thus power could be decentralized.
According to Maharashtra Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti Act, ZillaParishad and 13 Panchayat Samitis were formed in 1962. The 14th and 15th Panchayat Samitis of Deolali and Trimbak were subsequently formed.
The work of Zilla Parishad is executed in conformity with the Sthai Samiti (Standing Committee), finance, agriculture, education, health and social welfare Samities,. A person from IAS cadre is the administrative head of the Zilla Parishad. The president of the Zilla Parishad has major powers and is elected by the people. “Sabhapati” is the head of each subject samiti.
