With the help of an example, highlight the concept of participatory democracy.

Participatory democracy is a form of governance where members f a group or a community collectively participate in taking major decisions such as the Panchayat Raj system. This was introduced as it felt that is important to increase the role of people in the system of democracy and they should not be just voters who elect a leader every five years. It has helped to decentralize democracy at the grassroot level.
