Effecting changes in the objective conditions in rural India through effective land reforms is the key to its success. Elections at regular intervals and financial viability would ensure its smooth functioning. Deprecating the reluctance of the States to part with power, the author laments that the PRI Acts of some of the States have paved the way for bureaucratic centralisation rather than democratic decentralisation. It is the political will of the State governments which determines the future of village self-government in India, he concludes"  aPanchayat - India  aLocal government - India  aKurukshetra  a29600  c29600d29600  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 43, Issue no: 7pAR29740r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
