Devendra  aDecentralisation and devolution criteria: the position in Karnataka  c2003  ap.62-75.  aOct-Dec  aThis paper makes an attempt to highlight the importance of criteria in the devolution of resources from the state to democratic decentralised bodies. The present ad hoc method followed by the Karnataka government in the distribution of resources to Panchayats makes room for the bargaining power of each district. The sample study of three Zilla Panchayats without and with criteria, clearly unfolds that adoption of proper criteria and weightage would enable the relatively backward districts to obtain higher grants and vice versa. - Reproduced.  aDecentralization - India - Karnataka  aPanchayat - India - Karnataka  aPanchayat  aIASSI Quarterly  a62814  c62814d62814  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 22, Issue no: 2pAR63264r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
