The number and functions of the sub-committes naturally varied according to the needs and circumstances of each village. A land survey committee is disclosed by one record;¹ its function must have been to survey and clasify lands and see to it that the government assessment was fair and equitable. A temple committee is referred to in another.² Some *agrahāra* villages had their own colleges; they probably had an education committee.
