Answer:
For development of a community, participation of the local people is very important. Local people know their problems and they understand the needs of their community or locality. When the people of a locality get together to solve their day-to-day problems and fulfill their needs, the government established for the same is called local self-government. Local self-governing bodies develop local leadership that later helps the state and central governments in sharing the burden of work which thus gets done quicker, better and cheaper.

The concept of local self Government is a very old model in India. It attained its pinnacle under the later Cholas or the Imperial Cholas of Tanjore. It declined under the onslaught of feudalism during Muslim rule and was revived under the British period, with lord Ripon’s Resolution in 1882. After Independence, the Gandhian ideal of Grama Swaraj greatly influenced the constitution makers. India being the land of the village emphasis’s for the creation of village panchayats. Restoration of panchayats to their pristine glory has been an article of faith during our freedom struggle. Hence with the drawn of independence and framing of the constitution of India, Article 40 was incorporated in the constitution. It runs as follows: “the State should take steps to organise village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as the units of self Governments.
The national level plan for improving the functioning of Panchayati Raj Institutions is chalked out in the roadmap for Panchayati Raj. It has been noted that due to poor resource base and economic activity in rural areas, the Panchayats would continue to depend on State/Central transfers, grants etc. The Union Cabinet of the Government of India approved 50% reservation for women in Panchayati Raj Institutions. The Indian states which have already implemented 50% reservation for women in Panchayati Raj Institutions are Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Himachal Pradesh. As of 2011, the states of Andhra Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharastra, Orissa, Rajasthan and Tripura also reserve 50% of their posts for women.
A democratic form of government must be sustained by a system of vigorous local self-government institutions. local government institutions provide and opportunity to the people to participate freely and actively in the government which they formulate for their respective areas. These are necessary to encourage and foster initiative, independence, and enterprise on the part of the people. While inaugurating the first local self government minister’s conference in 1948, our late Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru said “local government is and must be the basis of any true system of democracy. Democracy at the top may not be a success unless built on its foundation from below”. Prof. laski says “local government offers the best opportunity to the people to bring local knowledge, interest and enthusiasm to bear on the solution of their problems.
Before the amendments were passed decentralisation became a policy concern during the colonial period and for a brief period the Constituent Assembly debates in the late 1940s suggested the possibility of developing an alternative structure of government. In the post-independence period, thinking about decentralization benefited from the deliberations of several committees, including the three chaired by Balwant Rai Mehta, Asoka Mehta, and l.M. Singhvi. In the late 1980s, both the Rajiv Gandhi and V.P. Singh governments introduced constitutional amendment bills that were unsuccessful. These efforts reached fruition in the 1990s, taking the form of constitutional amendments during the regime of P.V. Narasimha Rao. When they were enacted, they were therefore the product of a century or more of history. A vast intellectual resource on decentralization was created which informed the framing of the Amendments. It is worth recognizing this intellectual history because many of the solutions on offer have long been debated. There is a storehouse of information on local government, on experiments that failed and others that were successful.
