ArticlePublisher: 2018Description: p.103-121.Subject(s): Gram Sabha | Women representation | Decentralisation | Panchayati raj - India | Local self-government | 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act
In:
Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The article makes a modest attempt in ascertaining the functional aspects of Panchayati Raj Institutions, especially in the aftermath of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment. After a brief review of the history of local self-government in the pre- and post-Independence India, an attempt is made to figure out the present system of the panchayat governance in India. The operational aspects of the three-tier structure of panchayats are brought out along with the impediments that hamper their effective functioning. Feedbacks from across the state of Karnataka have been taken into consideration while suggesting the corrective measures. Mere identification of the functions of panchayats does not imply anything substantial without the effective back-up of financial decentralisation. The dominance of upper castes still hovers over and is a threat to the inclusive participation of deprived sections of the society. - Reproduced.
