Awareness and attitude of livestock owners regarding Panchayati Raj
system of democratic decentralisation was studied.The study was
conducted in two block panchayats of Kerala state in India.
Case-control design of survey research was followed. Self Help
Group (SHG) members served as case and non-members, control.The
background characteristics such as socio- economic and socio-
psychological factors were almost uniform in both the groups.
Generally, the awareness regarding Panchayati Raj and attitude
towards it were all less than satisfactory. Even so, SHG members
and non-members differed significantly on all accounts i.e.,
SHG-members had significantly higher level of awareness and a more
favourable attitude towards the system.Since democratic
decentralisation is a new concept, the book may serve as a
reference material in the hands of students and researchers in the
field of social sciences.
Participation of livestock farmers in Panchayati Raj system was
studied. The background characteristics such as socio-economic and
socio-psychological factors were almost uniform, and reflected the
general picture of livestock farmers of the state. Generally, the
level of participation in Panchayati Raj Institutions was less than
satisfactory. Even so, Self Help Group(SHG) members and non-members
differed significantly on all account. For instance, SHG-members
had significantly better levels of participation than non members.
As in any system, certain crucial constraints to participation upon
which there was consensus among the livestock owners studied, are
also reported. In the interest of a sound and firm Panchayati Raj
system, which is the hope of many poor people, especially the
livestock owners, the situation must improve for the better.
