MA Local Governance
Background of the Course
The significance and role of local governments, as an integral part of local self-government has substantially increased with the advent of independence. Consequently they could not remain only field agencies for the development and maintenance of civic services and for the execution of national prgorammes in their respective areas but they were also called upon to act as primary units of democratic governments. There is, however, a common feeling, that they have failed to achieve the twin objectives referred above. The expected role of the urban local governments to act as forum of political education has not been realized at all. Democracy rests on the assumption that a government is basically an affair of the people and that all the problems are to be solved with fuller participation and consent of the people. The local governments have unfortunately failed to perform such a role as the people all over the country feel that the local governments have not been empowered to perform its role.
