Local self-government in India refers to governmental jurisdictions below the level of the state. India is a federal republic with three spheres of government: central (union), state and local. The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments give recognition and protection to local governments and in addition each state has its own local government legislation. Since 1993, local government in India takes place in two very distinct forms. Urban localities, covered in the 74th amendment to the Constitution, have Nagar Palika but derive their powers from the individual state governments, while the powers of rural localities have been formalized under the panchayati raj system, under the 73rd amendment to the Constitution. For the history of traditional local government in India and South Asia, see panchayati raj.

A sarpanch is a decision-maker, elected by the village-level constitutional body of local self-government called the Gram Sabha in India. The sarpanch, together with other elected pancha , constitute the gram panchayat. The sarpanch is the focal point of contact between government officers and the village community and retains power for five years.

Panchayat samiti are rural local governments (panchayats) at the intermediate level in panchayat raj institutions (PRI).
