Question

Discuss the changes occured through the local self government during the british period

Answer 1

Answer:

Local self government in India refers to government jurisdiction below the level of state. India is a federal republic with three spheres of government : central , state, and local. The 73rd and 74th Constitution amendment give recognization and protection to local government and in addition each state has its own local government legislation. Since 1993, local government in India takes place in two very distinct forms. Urban localities, covered in the 74th amendment to the Constitution, have nagar palika but derive their powers from Individual state government, while the powers of rural localities have been formalized under the panchayati raj system, under the third amendment to the constitution. For the history of traditional local government in India and South Asia, see panchayati raj .

As of summer 2017, there a total of 267,428 local government bodies of which 262,771 are rural and 4,657 are urban. Of the rural local governments, 632 are zilla parishad at the district level, 6,672 are panchayat samiti at the block level , and 255,466 are gram panchayat at the village level .

Following the 2013, local election 37.1% of councillors were women, and in 2015/16 local government expenditure was 16.3% of total expenditure.
