Description

A new structure of local government, the contemporary village panchayat, has emerged in rural India as a consequence of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992.

This new statistical domain requires databases for the development functions that have been allocated to it.

This book is a study of panchayat-level databases and their potential use in local-level administration, planning, and policy implementation.

It examines the overall status of local-level data available in two contrasting village panchayats: Raina gram panchayat, Barddhaman district, West Bengal; and Warwat Khanderao gram panchayat, Buldhana district, Maharashtra, drawing on interviews on the process of record-keeping and use of accumulated data with officials.

The study attempts to understand the current and potential use of such records in decentralized development planning, the periodicity at which the records are updated, and the reliability and accuracy of such records.

A specific and unique aspect of the book is its attempt to evaluate the accuracy of certain panchayat-level databases.
