Main Body
Principle of Subsidiarity is a judicial and governance principle that states that the implementation of policies must take place at smallest level (unit of governance).
Examples1. Resource planning through Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDP).
Importance:
1. Ensures greater efficiency in implementation as local needs, circumstances are taken into account.
Eg: Livelihood systems.
2Ensures faster feedback and hence improvement in policies. Eg: exclusive form social welfare schemes can be corrected.
3Ensures true democratic decentralization as it becomes a participative process.
4Eases to check corruption, leakages due to easier focus & clearer accountability. Eg: Social audit.
5Much more sustainable approach due to vested interest of locals, capability building of local institutions etc.
Eg: Own sources of revenue (OSR) for PRIs.
Principles of subsidiarity along with complementary federalism will ensure a true 'Smart Road' in such a diverse India.
