Question

Who is the Executive Officer of the Panchayat Samiti?
A. Administrative Officer
B. Block Development Officer
C. Member of Legislative Assembly
D. Member of Parliament

Answer 1

Hint:
> The officer is the head of the office.
> He is appointed by the technical staff and ministerial staff.
> He is responsible for the successful execution of the work which is given to him.

Complete answer:
Option A) Administrative Officer – is an incorrect answer because the officer is not an executive officer of the Panchayat Samiti. An administrative officer acts as a point of contact for all employees, provides support and solves their queries. Thus, it is incorrect here.

Option B) Block Development Officer – is a correct answer because Block Development Officer (BDO) is the executive officer of the Panchayat Samiti. BDO is the head of the Panchayat Samiti. He is appointed by the technical and ministerial staff and he is responsible for the successful execution of the work which is assigned to him.

Option C) Member of Legislative Assembly – is an incorrect answer because MLA is not the Executive Officer of the Panchayat Samiti. An MLA is a member of the Legislative Assembly who is elected by the voters of an electoral district. Thus, it is incorrect here.

Option D) Member of Parliament – is an incorrect answer because MP is not the executive officer of the Panchayat Samiti. Member of Parliament is the member of any two houses in Parliament: Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.

Therefore, the correct answer is B

Note
> Panchayat Samiti is a rural local governing body.
> It works for the villages of tehsil at the block level.
> It acts as a connection between the village council and district board.
