This comprehensive handbook delves into a comprehensive examination of 25 years of decentralized governance and development in India. Providing a historical overview of the developments since the introduction of decentralization reforms through the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts, it critically assesses the measures initiated to strengthen decentralized institutions and deepen grassroots democracy. The volume also explores the status of service delivery and identifies the issues and challenges involved in achieving development at the local level.
The handbook examines a range of themes, including the devolution of powers in India, administrative and fiscal decentralization, decentralized planning, Panchayats in scheduled areas, the sociological aspects of decentralization, caste, gender, and local democracy, capacity building, ICT for local governance, urban local governance, workfare and decentralization, and decentralized natural resource management. Additionally, it takes a Gandhian perspective to examine Panchayati Raj institutions.
As the first of its kind, this handbook is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers in decentralization and development, development studies, fiscal decentralization, political studies, political sociology, Indian politics, Indian government, public policy and governance, political economy, South Asian studies, and South Asian politics. It offers a deep understanding of the complexities and dynamics of decentralized governance in India, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for promoting sustainable development and social justice at the local level.
