No work has so far been done on the history of Local Self-Govt in British Orissa. So this book claims to be a pioneer and outstanding attempt to throw a flood of light upon the self-governing institutions of Orissa. It not only highlight the divergent steps that the Govt of British India had taken to transplant and enlarge the scope of Local Self-Govt in the vast panorama of Indian administration, but in depicts vividly the minutest details of the origin, organisation, staffing, resources and developmental works of the self-governing institutions in Orissa. Against the diversity of social dogmas, educational backwardness and idiosyncrasies of the Indian people, the self-governing institutions of British origin and taste could push through and establish its identity in the Indian soil. The author has explored some of the hidden treasures of Orissan history which has hitherto been neglected or ignored. A study of the past institutions helps one to rebuild them in the newer perspectives. This book will certainly cater to the various needs of the anxious readers and scholars of Orissa and India as well. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Foundations of Local-Self-Government in British Orissa; Chapter 3: Local Finance; Chapter 4: Local Finance; Chapter 5: Personnel; Chapter 6: Conclusion.
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 theoretical and empirical literature on the relevance and effectiveness of service delivery in the decentralized system. It evaluates the quintessence of the functioning of the Panchayati Raj in the past two decades of its existence. This pioneering book also discusses the treatment of the third-tier government in the inter-governmental fiscal transfer 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.
This comprehensive volume contributes to the existing and emerging body of literature on contemporary urbanization and the interactions between cities and the environment. The volume is contextualized against latest theories, debates and discussions on 'sustainable urbanization', the post‐2015 development agenda of the United Nations and India's official launching of the 'smart city' agenda. Reflecting on three major components of urban sustainability: investments and infrastructures, waste management, and urban ecologies and environmentalisms, it moves beyond the bi‐centric approach of only looking into the differences between the ‘developed’ and the ‘developing’ world and reflects on cities across India using polycentric methods and approaches. The Indian urban scenario is extremely complex and diverse, and solutions laid out in official and non‐official documents tend to miss these complexities. This volume includes innovative research across different parts of India, identifying city‐specific sources of unsustainability and challenges along with strategies and potentials that would make the process of urban transition both sustainable and equitable. Complex explorations of non‐linear, bottom‐up, multisectoral process‐based local urban contexts across north, south, east and west Indian cities in this volume critique a general acceptance of the universalized concept of ‘sustainable urbanization’ and suggest ways that might be important for transcending inclusive theories to form practical policy-based recommendations and actions.
