| Summary: | Governance of India underwent progressive changes since
the 73 rd and 74 th Constitutional Amendment Acts in the
year 1992. The introduction of reservation for Women,
SC, and ST and reduction in the voting age from 21 to 18
resulted in making governance inclusive in nature. Various
state governments such as West Bengal, Karnataka,
Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, etc. initiated well intended
measures to enhance people’s participation in the planning
and development process. Steps such as People’s Plan
Campaign in Kerala) and Palli Sabha in Madhya Pradesh
are laudable. With emerging complexities in national life,
the country needs young minds that can generate new ideas
of good governance. This paper brings to light the need
to involve the youth in the decision-making process,
especially in the context of local governance. |
