Abstract

Multiple systems of governance continue to exist at the local level even after constitutionally mandated self-governing panchayat institutions were introduced in 1993. Some of these are traditional institutions that have existed from colonial times, while others have been added to implement Central and state government policies as their development plans have unfolded since independence. Still others have emerged out of the new rhetoric of governance and neo-liberalism. In this network, panchayats are being perceived as one of the local-level governance institutions—-and not as the primary one or as a third tier of the federal structure.
