It is administered by a Sarpanch, and elected representative for the village under the constitution of India and Panchayati raj. There are 379 houses in the village, supporting a population of 2,000.
A sarpanch is elected by the village-level constitutional body of local self-government called the Gram Sabha in India. The sarpanch, together with other elected pancha (members), constitute the gram panchayat. The sarpanch is the focal point of contact between government officers and the village community
In India, the Panchayati Raj generally refers to the system of local self-government in India introduced by a constitutional amendment in 1992, although it is based upon the traditional panchayat system of South Asia. This Panchayati Raj system was formalized in 1992, following a study conducted by a number of Indian committees on various ways of implementing more decentralized administration. The modern Panchayati Raj and its Gram Panchayats are not to be confused with the extra-constitutional Khap Panchayats found in northern India.
Children aged less than 6 comprise around 15% of the total population. [2] 71.22% of the population are members of Scheduled Castes. According to census data there are no members of Scheduled Tribes in Balliawal.
