The brilliant performances, especially of Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta, Jeetendra Kumar, and Chandan Roy, as well as the distinctive text, make the first season of Panchayat a fun and thoughtful clock.

Unable to find a job after his engineering degree, Abhishek Tripathi takes his only job, becoming a panchayat secretary in a remote area called Phulera. When he arrives with all his necessary luggage and an old motorcycle, Abhishek is greeted by his office assistant, Vikas, and the UPA-Pradhan Prahlad. They were soon joined by the former Pradhan, Brij Bhushan Dubey, which is surprisingly common in the Pradhan area.
Abhishek quickly learns that although the elected mayor, or Pradhan, in the paper, is a woman named Manju Devi, the position is, in fact, held by her husband, Brij Bhushan, who had only made his wife participate in the panchayat election.
Abhishek’s days in the village get off to a bad start as the key to the panchayat office building, which is his residence, is lost, and the building door itself breaks down when the lock tries to be broken.

On January 26, all Panchayat members first waited for Manju Devi but then decided to continue raising the flag and Brij Bhushan paid his respects. However, the whole party will come to a standstill as soon as the Regional Magistrate receives a poster of the program on the highway with a large portrait of Brij Bhushan titled “Pradhan-party” (Pradhan’s husband) next to him. it.
Aiming to understand what could happen in Phulera, as it is a common practice in India for wives of politicians to run for office as their husbands’ representatives in case the seats are reserved for women candidates, the DM is furious and decides to investigate the matter. place. When he arrives at the Phulera panchayat, her guess turns out to be okay, and she sternly orders Brij Bhushan out of the area.
The DM then ordered that Abhishek be suspended as he had failed in his job as panchayat secretary, but before any such action could be taken, Manju Devi arrives at the scene with a group of other women. She then reduced the situation by raising the flag and singing the national anthem by himself. In all places where Manju Devi struggles to remember names, her husband pushes her aside. DM applauded the event, advising Brij Bhushan to help his wife with panchayat activities in the same way instead of depriving her of the right to participate in them.
As the spirit of celebration rises, Abhishek realizes the true meaning of perseverance and can even lose his faith. Despite struggling to remember the words of the national anthem, Manju Devi had finally overcome her difficulties and had even played in front of a crowd for the first time in her life. Therefore, the well-educated village of Pradhan, taking its agency into its own hands, became an inspiration to Abhishek, who immediately decided to give himself another chance.
He returned to his studies right away and began preparing for next year’s CAT exam. Adjacent to the panchayat office was a long tower of water tanks, which Vikas and other Abhishek colleagues had asked him to ride into to take a closer look at the village, an idea that would make him fall in love, they said. Abhishek had never done it, though, and only now did he decide to look after himself. He climbed the stairs and paused to look at the place he saw, but he was very disappointed because he did not look very different from the ground.
However, he soon realizes that someone else is in the tower, and he notices a young woman about his age. The woman introduces herself as Rinky, Manju Devi, and the daughter of Brij Bhushan, and the facial expression on Abhishek’s face clearly indicates that he may have found herself in the company of a charmer, if not the person who made her fall in love.
