This volume looks at the course that decentralisation of government has taken in the decades following Independence.
It discusses the constitutional changes and policy decisions that make governance more accountable to and accessible for the common man.
It is a set of 25 readings that analyse the impact of the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments, which gave autonomy to the institutions of both rural and urban governance.
