"Village communities have been in existence in India for over
centuries and panchayats have been an intimate part of the Indian
culture. Panchayat system is one of the unique democratic
institutions evolved in India by country s own genius and ethos.
The post-73rd amendment phase has generated immense interest among
the observers and experts who were keen to understand this
significant change in the pattern of governance at the grassroots
level. In the continuation of the process of strengthening
institutional governance at local level, an innovation of Gram
Swaraj system was introduced in Madhya Pradesh in 2001. The book is
an attempt to identify, document and comprehend the broad trends
emanating from the field, based on the experience of three years
functioning of Gram Swaraj in Madhya Pradesh. Three years is a
short span of time for the dust to settle from such radical
changes. However, it is important to understand and analyse the
process and direction of institutionalisation of the present system
and its status in the initial phase, which would have a significant
impact and critical lessons for charting out the future course of
action for effective people-centric development and governance not
only in the state but across the country. The book will interest a
range of readers including researchers, bureaucrats, policy makers,
planners and those concerned with the development of rural India."
