Gram Panchayat ward list 2026 is available online on Local Government Directory (LGD), the official portal run by Ministry of Panchayati Raj. As per the live LGD dashboard, the country has 2,55,392 gram panchayats, 6,769 block panchayats and 675 district panchayats as of September 2026.
Every gram panchayat is split into smaller wards, and each ward elects one member. That member is called a panch, ward member or panchayat member, and villagers vote for this person directly. The ward list tells you which village or hamlet falls in which ward number and who is the elected member for that area.
Gram Panchayat Ward List 2026
Gram Panchayat works as the base level unit of the three-tier Panchayati Raj system. The system was made required by 73rd Constitutional Amendment of 1992, which asked states to set up panchayats at three levels.
- District level panchayat, known as Zila Panchayat or Zilla Parishad, looks after the whole district.
- Intermediate level panchayat, known as Block Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti or Kshetra Panchayat, covers a block area.
- Base level panchayat, known as Gram Panchayat or Village Panchayat, covers one or more villages together.
States and union territories keep their own ward details updated on LGD. Whenever a new gram panchayat is formed, merged, or its boundary changes, the ward information gets updated on the same portal. So the list on LGD is the most current version available for any state.

Delhi and Chandigarh are not part of this list because they do not have gram panchayats under the current LGD data. Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland follow traditional or tribal council systems instead of gram panchayats, which is why their village panchayat count shows N.A. Total number of panchayats across all three levels stands at 2,62,523.
