Role of Panchayat Raj and rural development in Karnataka
Authors

Abstract
Overall development of country is the main
objective of Indian government since its independence. Earlier the main thrust
for development was laid on Agriculture, Industry, Communication, Education,
Health and Allied sectors but soon it was realized that the all round
development of the country is possible only through the development of rural
India. Keeping this in view Panchayat Raj Institutions have been introduced
under the 73rd Amendment Act of the Constitution of India. Rural
Development includes measures to strengthen the democratic structure of society
through the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). It also includes measures to
improve the rural infrastructure, improve income of rural households and
delivery systems pertaining to education, health & safety mechanisms.
Government of India has taken many steps to develop rural India and for this
Department of Rural Development has been setup under the control of Ministry of
Rural Development. The department through PRIs has launched various development
schemes such as Sampoorna Swachchta Abhiyan, Gram Vikas Yojana, Farmer Market
& Livestock Market, Underground Drainage System Construction Scheme,
MGNREGA and so on. Through these schemes Government of India seems to
accomplish its dream of rural India’s development. Although some loopholes may
also be seen. Without overcoming these drawbacks Government of India won’t be
able to foster the growth of rural India.
