Produced by The Viral Fever, a renowned YouTube channel, 'Panchayat' narrates the story of Abhishek Tripathi, an engineering graduate unexpectedly thrust into the role of a Gram Panchayat Secretary in the village of Phulera, Uttar Pradesh, diverging from his potential lucrative IT career path.
The series chronicles his journey as he contends with the challenges of adapting to rural life and deciphering the implicit social customs of Phulera.
