As of now, Gram Pradhans only have rights, but no responsibility. The Centre should act as a facilitator to resolve issues of farmers pertaining to irrigation, canal, tube wells, support prices and seed-fertilizers.

There should be absolute decentralization of local administration till the level of Panchayat

Bihar's Kosi river is known to change its course of flow thereby submering new lands. Who does this submerged land belong – the government or the local villagers who farmed it before it got submerged by the river? A survey to address land titles in the state has run into rough weather as villagers along the Kosi, which brings devastating floods, fear the government will take over their farmlands.
