Decentralisation in India

Decentralisation in India: India is a vast country and cannot be run only through a two-tier system. States of India are very large and internally very diverse.

  • States in India are as large as independent countries of Europe. Uttar Pradesh is more populous than Russia and Maharashtra is more populous than Germany.
  • Federal power sharing in India needs another tier of government, below that of the States Governments.
  • Thus, there is a need for power sharing within each state. When power is taken away from Central and state Government and given to local government, it is called decentralisation.
  • The basic idea behind decentralisation is that there are a large number of problems and issues which are best settled at the local level.
