Town Panchayat


A town panchayat or panchayat town is a small town, under 20,000 or 25,000 inhabitants, which is formed under the panchayati raj administrative system. In census data, the abbreviation T.P. is used to indicate a "town panchayat".Tamil Nadu was the first state to introduce the panchayat town as an intermediate step between rural villages and urban local bodies (ULB).

Each Indian state has its own management directorate for panchayat towns.
