Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 73rd Constitutional Amendment is a milestone in the modern history of India and it has taken democracy to the grassroots. It aims to transform the characteristics of our democracy from representative to representative and participatory democracy. Before going into the details of the process of decentralization of powers in the states over a period, it is necessary to explain the basic framework of decentralization of powers.To operationalise the basic framework – both letter and spirit – the state governments have to take an array of steps that are fundamental and basic for the establishment of a local governance system.By keeping the above framework, in the last twenty years how decentralization took place in south Indian states – Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala has been evaluated in this volume. The four chapters have been written by G. Palanithurai, M. Gobinath Reddy, M. Sivanna and Jos Chathukulam. Along with the above state-specific chapters, there are a few chapters covering Panchayat finance in South Indian States and democratization in this volume written by B. DevendraBabu and G.

Download or read book SOCRATES written by Prof. Arvind K Sharma and published by Dr Abha Foundation. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, as we are only ten years behind 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals-2030 have become more important than ever before. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are also known as the Global Goals, are set of seventeen goals that were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. It was a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. It is the best time to look back on what has been done towards achieving SDGs and to discuss the strategies for the next 10 years. In this context, the current issue of “Socrates” brings a total of eight papers which talk on one or other aspects of SDGs. In the very first paper, Prof. Arvind K Sharma talks about strategies for quality education (SDG-4) in India. He examines select micro-level considerations as it portrays the strategies for academic excellence in the country’s higher education sector. His paper focuses next on the dire need to launch a country-wide campaign to translate the classics of the respective disciplines in the Hindi and Regional Languages. In the second paper, Deepak Mishra analyses the basic principles of Nai Talim in terms of educational curriculum and pedagogy and examines its role in contemporary India. He has very well attempted to highlight the relevance of Gandhiji’s New Talim for achieving the SGD-4, i.e. Quality Education. The concept of localizing the Sustainable Development Goals has been gaining attention among the intellectuals and professionals. The localisation of SDGs is how local governments can critically contribute to the overall achievement of the SDGs. In this context, Ashish Jha has elucidated the role of Panchayati Raj Institutions in achieving the SDGs. Accountability is one of the key features for a Good Government, and effective Public Service Delivery is a major function of government. Sandeep in the fourth paper has discussed the role of social accountability for effective public service delivery. He highlights how citizens- individually and collectively, can influence service delivery through access to information and opportunities to use it to hold the providers accountable. In the fifth paper, Arpan Kumar Sharma, Nayan Jyoti Nath, and Dr Tanu Shukla try to explore the relationship between the level of education of women and its influence on the fertility in Empowered Action Group (EAG) states of India. The paper further highlights that the interplay of education and fertility is further affected by religion, which acts as the determinants of fertility. In the next, Dr Bharati Garg and Anupama Sharma discuss integrating culture in various initiatives for achieving SDGs. They rightly observe that cultural rights, diversity and creativity are core components of human and sustainable development. In the sixth paper, Nilanjan Bhor has tried to link education with Health. He has cited the lessons from children of migrant construction labourers in India for his arguments. He advocates for the compulsory bridging programme for migrant children, compulsory health-checkup and supplementary nutrition along with education and inter-state partnership in addressing schooling of migrant children. In the last paper of this issue, Mahesh Singh Soopa and Dr Kuldeep Singh Panwar attempt to explain the emerging trends of food adulteration in India. They have used FSSAI data to show the increasing incidents of food adulteration in recent years and suggested some remedies.

Download or read book Fragile Urban Governance written by Gangadhar Jha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization is giving rise to a vibrant and volatile urban India. The urban local self-government (ULSG) is struggling to provide efficient, effective, inclusive and responsive urban services. Most ULSGs are too fragile to perform the mandated functions for enhancing the quality of life and making cities and towns livable. The book traces evolution of ULSGs, its decline after Independence, and steps taken to strengthen them, especially through the big-bang decentralization initiative of 1992 for their empowerment, by enacting the 74th Constitution Amendment Act (74th CAA). Analyzing facets of the decentralization initiative, views of two review Commissions, policy responses to it and processes for implementation of constitutional provisions, it alludes to conspicuous gaps at three levels such as (i) gaps and deficiencies in the 74th CAA (ii) gaps in the post-74th CAA municipal Acts that were required to conform to the constitutional provisions, and (iii) gaps due to half-hearted implementation of even the mandatory constitutional provisions. Empowerment and strengthening of ULSG being in the nature of an imperative, it explores plausible options within the constitutional autonomy of states. Empowerment denotes authority, power and clarity in municipal functional and fiscal domain. Therefore it also specifies experiential based rational framework and a strategy for strengthening ULSGs that must look beyond the existing predilection for mere training. It fills an existing void in ULSG literature on the subject. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
