| Article Name : | | | ELITE CAPTURE IN DECENTRALISED INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA:A LITERATURE SURVEY | | Author Name : | | | Sudarshan , Sindhe Jaganath.R. | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-4012 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Decentralised governance has been seen as an important platform that facilitates better decision-making at the level of local government. It is also an experiment in the devolution of powers to the government at the regional level by different countries, particularly developing ones, such as India, where the decentralisation experiment has been termed successful (Besley et al. 2006)3. Despite the 73rd constitutional amendment and the successful implementation of decentralisation measures in India, governance and service delivery at the local level have suffered from several problems; of them, elite capture and corruption are important, although they are not specific to India. Many developing countries that have embraced decentralised governance at the village level have been experiencing these problems, particularly that of elite capture in local governance, which has adverse implications on decision making, delivery of services to the poor, and inclusive growth. | | Keywords : | | |
