There is a decline in the percentage of local government expenditure in relation to the total government expenditure and in the progress of expenditure decentralisation in 11 out of the 15 major states. The revenue decentralisation trend is also no better and the average rate of growth in the tax revenue of panchayati raj institutions as well as the urban local bodies in most of the states has been negative. It renders efforts to build autonomous local governments impossible. - Reproduced.  aLocal government  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a69036  c69036d69036  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 41, Issue no: 10pAR69492r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
