ch-9-ft-4 | A Maverick in Politics- By Mani Shankar Aiyar

Chapter 9: Footnote 4

Much as I would like to dilate on the history of Panchayati Raj since Independence, I am constrained to merely refer interested readers to my article ‘Inclusive Governance for Inclusive Development: The History, Politics and Economics of Panchayati Raj’, in Faguet and Poschl (ed.), Is Decentralization Good for Development?, Oxford University Press, UK, 2015. See also: the opening introductory chapter, paras. 1.1 to 1.8, at pp. 1–6 (and, in greater detail, Annexe 1 to Vol. I) of the ‘Twentieth Anniversary Report of the Expert Committee on Leveraging Panchayats for the Efficient Delivery of Public Goods and Services’, 2013, chaired by me. Copies of this five-volume report can be made available by emailing me at: 1941msa@gmail. com
