Instead of problems of ineffective delivery of services being implicated at the level of macro policies, much of such problems rest at lower level of administration. This article looks at the problems related to the delivery of social security pensions in eight towns in MP. The article concludes that the responsibility of delivery of social security pensions should be given to local and decentralised structures with fundamental changes in the system of sanctioning and  disbursement of pensions. - Reproduced.  aPensions - India - Madhya Pradesh  aSocial security - India - Madhya Pradesh  aSocial security  aSingh, Shyam  aIndian Journal of Public Administration
