Main Body
The PRI elections are microcosm of the democratic milieu of India But not emerged as planning or service delivery institute as -: (1) Lack of funds as local of own taxation (2nd ARC); transfers from State & central finance commission are not met (MIO PRI report) (2) The states are apprehensive about devolving of functions as per schedule 11 (Naini Sherkar Agarwal committee) - also there is duplication as state and PRIs have same subject (3) Administrative decentralisation is also weak as bureaucrats hold on to officesMIO PRI write ever the paper didn't want to state responsibility
4The parastatal bypasses the elected PRIs as we see bodies like Rural Development marketing set apart but PRIs lack facts (5) As reserved seats, states, there is continued public and curtailment but lack of action (6) PRIs lack ever basic infrastructure cadaster maps and data to formulate plans (7) Reservation & Social Justice as taken as Safeguards to sit system This solution → 2nd ARC - getting via parastatals Manager Agarwal Committee - Activity Mapping. These there is need to learn from states like Kerala and other by principle of subsidiarity (2nd ARC) and empower PRIs
