Volume : II, Issue : VII, August - 2012 Panchayat Raj In India Devidas Govind Rathod Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Panchayat Raj institutions which aim at democratic decentralization constitute the
backbone to the democratic process. It is one of the cherished goals of the Constitution of
India to reinforce Panchayath Raj system with a view to involve the people at the gross
roots level in the governance. The ideal of democratic decentralization will ensure that
the people living in villages take active part. Gandhiji reiterated that, for the attainment
of liberty, self-government of the village is the ultimate objective. These prophetic words
of Gandhi reflect the importance of public participation in administration. It is an
undying fact that, Panchayat Raj is the only means to assure public participation. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Devidas Govind Rathod, (2012). Panchayat Raj In India.
