Abstract

The 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Constitution of India were made with an express objective or purpose of restoring power back to people by legally encouraging “local self-governance†. At the same time, it also wanted the people to become responsible for the use or non-use of power. People cannot just have power without responsibility. What happened? The Rural areas benefited, and the Urban population, which prides itself on its modernism and development and smartness, were worst off. The real benefits of 74th Amendment never reached the Urban areas. How can this be changed? How can the provisions of these bill be effectualised? A background to the need to pass the Nagar Raj Bill.
