Ministry Ropes In OTT Series To Fix 'Sarpanch Pati' System

Hindustan Times West UP

March 09, 2025

Manju Devi, the otherwise reluctant pradhan (head) of the picturesque Phulera village, is now a woman on a mission to resolve all the grievances that the fictitious village — of The Viral Fever's (TVF) successful OTT series Panchayat — faces.

- Abhishek Angad

NEW DELHI: The endearing series that began in 2020 brought to the fore the common tale of husbands of women heads of Gram Panchayats running the show, and so, Manju Devi (played by Neena Gupta) in season one cooks and cleans her house, and is referred to as Rinki ki mummy, while her husband assumes the seat of the Pradhan, much to the shock of city boy Jeetu, who has just joined as panchayat secretary.
