Explain 5 changes towards dencentralisation brought in the constitution after the amendment made in 1992
Answers
Answer:
The Constitutional Amendment of 1992 introduced the concrete shape of decentralization.
The three tiers of democracy have been made more effective. The provisions of Constitutional Amendment are as follows:
• To hold regular elections to the local government bodies has been made compulsory.
• Reservation of seats for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other backward classes in the elected bodies.
• One third i.e., 33 per cent seats to be reserved for women.
• To conduct an election for the local government bodies at the rural and urban level, State Election Commission, an independent institution, has been constituted.
• The state governments are required to share some powers and revenue with local government bodies.
Thus after the Constitutional Amendment of 1992, the concept of decentralization in the federal power-sharing has become more democratic.
