| Summary: | Taking into account two decades of experience in democratic
decentralisation in India, this paper reflects on the
achievements and challenges in establishing good local
governance in the country. Notable achievements include
establishing sound institutional framework for local
governments, placing people and representatives of people
at the centre stage, delegating functions for promoting
‘development as freedom’, and beginning a platform for
social mobilisation for poverty reduction. However,

in terms of ‘niti’ and ‘nyaya’, India has to go a long way.
There exists a need for amending the Constitution of India
for introducing a ‘Local Self Government List’, for providing
minimum grant-in-aid to local governments, and for
restructuring the District Planning Committees |
