Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The grassroots democracy has been strengthened in India after historic 73rd Constitutional Amendment 1992. Since then a lot of democracy-friendly changes has been introduced by states especially Bihar by revising the Bihar Panchayati Raj Act in 2006 and 2015. It is evident from the fact that Bihar took lead to introduce fifty percent reservation for women, to strengthen the Gram Sabha and devolving judicial powers to Gram Katchahry. However, in the real ranking of states for the component and total indices of devolution, Bihar came in just eighth position. Now the question is – why Bihar is not doing well in the ranking, despite introducing these democratic reforms in PRIs? All these attract the attention of the students of grassroots politics to examine the structural and functional improvements in panchayati raj institutions (PRIs) in Bihar. On the basis of examination of secondary data, the paper finds that the PRIs lack proper capacity building such as training to elected representatives, proliferation of e-Panchayats, provision of growing IT Infrastructure and office space at ground levels. – Reproduced
