The President of the Zilla Parishad is the political head, making all key decisions under his/her leadership. The District Magistrate (DM), as the administrative head, carries out these decisions. This arrangement exemplifies power-sharing, similar to how legislative and executive powers are shared. Therefore, it is appropriate for the DM to administer the district. Moreover, DMs or Collectors represent the Union Government, and in the three-tier system, the Zilla Parishad's chairperson is accountable to these Union Government representatives.
