This book discusses the evolution of the third tier of the Indian
federal system, with a focus on rural local governance (commonly
known as Panchayati Raj) against the backdrop of important

evaluates the quintessence of the functioning of the Panchayati
Raj in the past two decades of its existence.

framework and the delineation of the unique institution of local
self-government in the Northeastern Indian States.In the light of the loosely evolved fiscal relations between
three levels of government, it has been observed that local
self-governments in the bottom tier have not been truly empowered
yet. The book argues in favor of integrating the third-tier
government into the Indian federal system and suggests how this
could be achieved.
