Abstract	The rapid digitization of governance systems necessitates innovative solutions to enhance transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in rural administration. This study presents the Smart &Advanced Rural Knowledge System for E-Governance (SARK), a web-based platform designed to streamline Gram Panchayat operations and improve public service delivery. SARK serves as an integrated digital framework for monitoring administrative activities, managing citizen records, and disseminating government schemes and updates in real time.By eliminating bureaucratic delays and fostering accountability, SARK enhances rural e-governance efficiency while maintaining data integrity. This paper discusses the system’s architecture, implementation challenges, and its potential to bridge the digital divide in grassroots governance. Future work includes scaling the model to integrate with state/national e-governance initiatives.
