why local self government is essential for the success of democracy​

Answer 1

Restoration of panchayats to their pristine glory has been an article of faith during our freedom struggle.

Answer 2

Local self-government is essential for the success of democracy​ as it allows for regional development.  

Explanation:  

• In a country like India, various cultures are found at small distances.
• India is also a very diverse country which means that the principles and ideologies change every few kilometers.
• In such a situation if the central government is only allowed to function, the problems faced by locals might not reach the authorities and never be solved.
• Therefore, local self-government or local governance is very helpful in countries like India as they provide representation at the lowest level.
• Local self-governance has also helped in the development of rural areas by showcasing the problems faced by rural people at a higher pedestal.
• Therefore, it is an essential feature for the success of democracy.
