A village development committee has the status of an autonomous institution and the authority to interact with the more centralised institutions of governance in Nepal. In doing so, the village development committee gives the village people an element of control and responsibility in development, and also ensures proper utilization, distribution of state funds and a greater interaction between government officials, NGOs and agencies. The village development committees within a given area discuss education, water supply, basic health, sanitation and income and also monitor and record progress which is displayed in census data.<sup id="cite_ref-VDC_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-VDC-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organization">Organization</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Village_development_committee_(Nepal)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Organization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In a village development committee, there was one elected chief, usually elected with an over 80% majority.<sup id="cite_ref-VDC_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-VDC-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A chief was elected from each <a href="/wiki/Ward_(country_subdivision)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ward (country subdivision)">ward</a>.
