Question

In a year how many meetings of Zilla Parishad must happen?
1. Three
2. Four
3. Twelve
4. Two

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Four

The correct answer is Four.

• Zilla Parishad (ZP) can take as many meetings as it wishes, but the gap between the two meetings of Zilla Parishad should not be greater than 3 months. Hence option 2. is Correct.
• That is a minimum of 4 meetings should be held in a year.
• If Zilla Parishad had not called any meeting for over 3 months the Divisional commissioner has the authority to call the meeting.
• If 1/5th member of Zilla Parishad demands a special meeting via a resolution, then the President of ZP is obliged to call for the special meeting. Such a meeting should be held within 30 days of the resolution. Hence statement B is Correct.
• Standing Committee should hold its meeting once a month.
• The meeting of Zilla Parishad cannot be held outside the district.
