Status Of Ryural Local Bodies Finance In Tamil Nadu

This book revealed the faulty design of panchayat finance in Tamil Nadu. The appearance of decentralization of powers is deceptive. The three articles in this monograph analyse deeply how provision of the constitutions are violated through operationalising the decentralization design. It suggests a new sound local body finance police and local body financial management system for Tamil Nadu. It recommends that tax reform is need of the hour from the perspective of local bodies with a view to increase the tax domain of local bodies. It also suggests that the share of local bodies in the resource pool of the centre and State Governments has to be enhanced.
