    The Village Development Board (VDB) functions as the development agency for villages under the Village Council. It includes a General Body made up of all village community members and an Executive Committee with mandatory women and youth representation to ensure the whole community's needs are addressed. VDBs are involved in all stages of development projects from funding allocation to completion. They must keep proper accounts and be open to audits. Through VDB involvement, many major schemes have been successfully implemented, sometimes through contributed labor when funds were insufficient. The objectives of VDBs are to empower villages to make their own decisions, generate internal resources, provide employment to prevent rural youth migration, improve basic facilities, and enable self-managed credit activities.

    Functions of Village Development Boards (VDBs)

    The Village Development Board is the development agency of the


    village, which functions under the Village Council. It comprises of the General
    Body which is composed of Representation of the whole village community. An
    executive Committee with Secretary, a compulsory women representation of
    one fourth of the executive committee to ensure that the women community
    is represented and their needs are looked after, forms the Management
    Committee of every VDB. Youth representation is also compulsory to ensure
    that any development activity in the village benefits the entire community.

    The VDBs are involved in all the phases of developmental activities and
    their responsibilities include all aspects from the receipt of allocation of funds,
    selection of beneficiaries or schemes, monitoring of progress of work and
    expenditure and ensure completion of schemes. They are an accountable
    organization, where keeping of accounts is mandatory and is open and subject
    to any audit of its accounts.

    Through the involvement of the VDBs, several major schemes have been
    successfully implemented. This has been made possible, in several instances,
    through contribution of free labour, organised by the VDBs to ensure that the
    schemes were completed, even when funds allocated were not sufficient to
    complete the project normally. The acceptance is the level of understanding
    that any success and achievement under any scheme are for themselves and
    for their benefit. Such approaches and capability indicates the level of maturity
    the VDBs have attained.

    Salient features

    VDB.

    6. Funds received and programme/scheme selection are taken up during

    Objectives:

    take decisions and implementation of schemes within the guidelines
    both for state and Centrally Sponsored Schemes.
    2. Capable of mobilizing its internal resources for investment in various
    income generating and economically productive activities.
    3. To check the migration of educated unemployed rural youths to towns
    by ensuring self employment opportunities through their involvement in

    the rural areas.

    in so far as availability of the basic common facilities is concerned and
    5. To enable themselves to act as financial intermediaries for managing
