A
Gram Panchayat
💡 Explanation:
Under MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act), the Gram Panchayat is the primary body responsible for planning and deciding the priority of works to be undertaken. While higher-level bodies like Zila Parishad and State Government have roles in approval and monitoring, the actual prioritization of work happens at the Gram Panchayat level as it is closest to the ground realities and community needs.
