Decentralised Planning: The Karnataka Experiment

by Abdul Aziz

Using a framework generated by the theory of micro-level planning, this excellent volume critically reviews the experience of decentralized planning in Karnataka. Beginning with a brief account of the theoretical and methodological issues in decentralized planning, the author examines the institutinoal structure of deentralized governance in terms of its relevance to planning and implementation of projects at sub-regional levels. The author also explores the functioning of local institutional structures and implementation of projects, particularly those aimed at alleviating poverty. "The study will be of interest to students of decentralised planning and rural development as well as to adminstrators and policymakers." --Yojana
