Papers presented at the National Workshop on Decentralised Democracy and Planning, held at Newman College, Thodupuzha on Dec. 19, 2003.
This book is an outcome of a National Seminar, jointly organised by the Centre for Multi-disciplinary Development Research, Dharwad and Karnataka Panchayat Raj Parishath, Bengaluru, held in 2019. It presents an overview of the decentralized planning in the Indian context with specific references to eight states including Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura and West Bengal. Many of these states have role models in the decentralized planning process that have been studied vastly for replication elsewhere. It narrates the experiences of these states through the ideas of the academicians and researchers who have been working in the field for the past thirty years. The discussions centre around the planning process, 73rd Amendment, Gram Panchayat Development Plan, inclusiveness, tribal area development, use of technology for participatory governance, human and economic development of the people in rural area and issues and problems in decentralised planning and the way forward to make decentralisation work in true sense and in principle. It stresses the need for sensitizing and empowering the people at the bottom.

Local Governance gains prominence in the recent decades as it becomes a movement in the world. Contextually it is so imprest to empower the poor and marginalised as globalization of economy is going to exclude many such segments. As globalization, decentralisation is also a historical process. The present monograph is giving a synoptic view of governance and development process at grassroots in China and India. In both countries initiatives have been taken to strengthen the grassroots institutions. In China local bodies have been created through an executive order but powers and resources have been given substantially whereas in India local bodies have been created through Constitutional Amendments. Yet powers and resources have not been given excepting Kerala. Hence, a comparative analysis is made between a local governance unit in Jiangsu province in China and Gram Panchayat in Kerala in India. How village life is organized and how people are engaged in governance and development have been captured in this monograph.
