Description

As urbanization transforms India into a vibrant yet volatile landscape, the ability of urban local self-government (ULSG) to provide essential services becomes a pressing issue. This book explores why many local governments struggle to deliver efficient, inclusive, and responsive services to growing city populations. It examines the fragility of these institutions and their difficulty in performing mandated functions necessary for improving quality of life and urban livability. Readers will follow the historical trajectory of ULSGs, tracking their evolution and the subsequent decline following India's Independence. The text provides a detailed look at the efforts made to strengthen these local bodies, specifically focusing on the 1992 big-bang decentralization initiative. By analyzing the enactment of the 74th Constitution Amendment Act (74th CAA), this work offers a deep look at the steps taken toward the empowerment of local self-government in the Indian context.
