#1 Just outside the village is a Panchayat House with dedicated workers here.
#2 Just to the North of India are the Himalayas that were once impregnable.
These sentences are grammatically correct. But sound little awkward to me when I read them. In both these sentences, Subject is omitted. Can we omit the subject here? What is the rule behind this?
(If I have to write I would write as "Just outside the village, there is a Panchayat House with dedicated workers here.")

There isn't needed in either sentence, but it's possible. I would leave it out. Your sentences confirm to the age-old Germanic word order, which is still observed in Swedish, for example.
