Society of Extension Education GujaratAbstract: This study investigates the challenges encountered by Sarpanches in local governance and proposes extension strategies to address them. Conducted in seven districts of South Gujarat, the research utilized a random sampling technique to select 210 Sarpanches. The relationship between Sarpanches profiles and their knowledge levels was analyzed, highlighting key determinants such as education, management efficiency, and group cohesiveness. Constraints were identified, quantified, and ranked based on frequency and percentage, revealing political interference as the primary challenge, followed by financial constraints and delays in technical approvals. Sarpanches suggested measures to overcome these constraints, including reducing political interference and enhancing funding sources. Tailored extension strategies were formulated through a participatory approach, emphasizing transparent decision-making and sustainable revenue generation. These findings underscore the importance of empowering Sarpanches to foster effective local governance and sustainable rural development. Policymakers should consider implementing these strategies to address the identified challenges comprehensively.
