Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) have been evolved and strengthened to achieve two basic goals – first, establishment of vibrant democracy at grassroots level and second, making these PRIs the effective institutions of citizen-centric good governance. This necessitates a sound, responsive and competent administration; respect to basic human rights and values; and institutional as well as structural frame work to ensure accountability and transparency. But there are some bottlenecks like financial dependence, overlapping by Central and state governments and functional inhibitions of the Panchayat representatives. Further control over administration at the grass-root level is essential prerequisite for its success. A strong local government system is the best way to include the aspirations of all people to guide collective destiny. Inclusive growth can be achieved only through inclusive governance and the key to this is an elective and well-functioning system of Panchayats. Empowerment, enablement and accountability of PRIs alone can make them function as institutions of self - governance. – Reproduced
