b. Where the money came from.


c. Whether or not the work has been completed.

The Panchayat of our area decided to build a higher secondary school for girls in the village.

b. A major part of the money came from the State Government and a minor part of the money came from the funds of Panchayat and also, the villagers contributed as it was for the welfare of the society.
