PANCHAM (Panchayat Assistance and Messaging Chatbot) is a WhatsApp-based AI tool developed as a digital companion for Panchayati Raj Institutions.
It enables Sarpanches and ward members to access government information directly through WhatsApp, eliminating dependence on complex applications or intermediaries.
By leveraging a familiar platform, PANCHAM aims to strengthen transparency, efficiency, and ease of decision-making at the grassroots level.
The initiative is led by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, reflecting a push towards technology-enabled local governance.
