Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Panchayat and how it works
Q.What is Panchayat?
Panchayat is an India-first community social platform designed around real local communities — villages, towns, blocks, and neighbourhoods. It brings people together to share local updates, photos, Viraal short videos, and take part in Sabha discussions.
Q.Is Panchayat only for villages?
No! While Panchayat gives deep respect and priority to rural Gram Panchayats, it supports towns, municipal wards, and urban neighbourhoods. The platform supports both 'village' and 'town' area types across Indian states.
Q.How is Panchayat different from other social platforms?
Mainstream social platforms optimize for global reach, algorithmic rage, and celebrity influencers. Panchayat is strictly location-aware — prioritizing the people, discussions, and issues right where you live.
Q.What is Sabha?
Sabha is Panchayat's dedicated digital townhall. In Sabha, citizens can read official notices from verified Gram Pradhans, report local complaints/issues with real-time status tracking, discuss community topics, and vote up or down on community proposals.
Q.What is Viraal?
Viraal is Panchayat's short-form video experience. It spotlights local talent, folk traditions, agriculture innovations, sports, and celebrations from creators in your village, block, and district.
Q.Can I create posts, polls, and voice updates?
Yes! On the mobile app, you can create text posts, photo albums, interactive community polls with real-time percentages, and voice notes. You can also pick your visibility scope: Village, Block, District, or Public.
Q.Is Panchayat available on Android?
Yes, Panchayat is natively built for Android (Flutter) with lightweight caching, offline emergency helpline support, and smooth performance on affordable 4G smartphones.
Q.How does location-based discovery work?
During onboarding, you choose your State, District, Block, and Gram Panchayat from our verified directory. Your feed and Sabha will automatically surface conversations and updates relevant to your geographic area.
Q.What happens to my data and privacy?
Your account is secured by Supabase Auth with Row Level Security (RLS). We never sell your personal phone number, and you can deactivate or permanently delete your account directly from app settings with complete data removal.
