Question

there was little decentralisation in effective term prior to 1990 elaborate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Decentralization was less effective before 1992 because there was no effective local government at the rural level before then. ... This mandated the creation of a three tier local government in rural areas. With this, local government in rural areas became meaningful.

Answer 2

Several attempts have been made to decentralise power to the level of villages and towns. But the following issues undermined the effective outcomes:

• Panchayats and municipalities were directly controlled by the state governments.

• Elections to these bodies were not conducted regularly.

• Local bodies were determined their share of power and resources.
