The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, including both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The study will examine the functioning of PRIs and their impact on various aspects of rural development, such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and employment opportunities. Additionally, the study will analyze the challenges faced by PRIs in implementing rural development programs and policies. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing literature on rural development and Panchayat Raj Institutions in India. The results may also inform policymakers and practitioners on how to improve the effectiveness of PRIs in promoting socioeconomic development in rural areas. The study also highlights the challenges faced by PRIs in Thanjavur district, such as inadequate funding and lack of technical expertise. Despite these challenges, PRIs have been able to make significant strides in improving the socio-economic conditions of rural communities in Thanjavur district.
