Can Gram Panchayats enact their own laws or regulations?

Legislative authority of Gram Panchayats: Gram Panchayats derive their legislative authority from state-level Panchayati Raj Acts, which empower them to enact bylaws, regulations, and resolutions within their jurisdiction to address local needs and concerns. However, their legislative powers are subject to certain limitations and must conform to higher-level laws and regulations. Gram Panchayats can frame rules related to matters such as public health, sanitation, education, local infrastructure, and community welfare, but their enactments cannot contradict or override state or national laws.
