Volume : III, Issue : X, November - 2013 Tribal Women And Decentralization Of Power: An Appraisal Mamata Sahoo DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The Constitution (73rd and 74th Amendments Act) has the noble intention of bringing power to the women in general and tribal women in particular. These amendments provide for decentralization of power or decentralized administration through local self-governing bodies at the district (Zila Parishad), block (Panchayat Samiti), village (Gram Panchayat ) and Municipality/ NAC levels. These amendments further provide a platform for direct and active participation of women in various levels of development and nation-building process. One important objective of these amendments is to empower women and tribal women in particular, to have a greater access, say and role not only in the affairs at the grass –root level. It aims at reducing political and bureaucratic interference in various development programmers in rural and tribal areas. In other words, local bodies encourage active participation of tribal women in the formulation and implementation of different development activities and thereby bringing a meaningful socio-economic change particularly in rural and tribal areas.
