Among other issues, it focuses on: the contrasting political ideas of Mahatma Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar on Panchayati Raj Institutions; the legal and constitutional provisions which were introduced through the 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts; the devolution process, status and challenges of democracy for local governmental bodies; empowerment of the women and lower castes through reservations in the local bodies; governance in Schedule V and VI tribal areas; conflict resolution and capacity building of local governance. Based on extensive fieldwork across India, this volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of political science, sociology, public administration as well as policymakers and civil society activists."--Front matter. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Decentralization in government $z India. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102111 650 0 $a Local government $z India. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2005001173 650 0 $a Democracy $z India. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102174 650 7 $a Local government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001300 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Decentralization in government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888948 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a VenÌkatÌ£eÌsÌu, I., $d 1969- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005210836 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F854904E019D11E89C78220097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
