Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. No Urban Local Self-governments are functioning in the notified towns/cities of Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh till date.

The concept of democratic decentralised governance hardly operates in these states. The book suggests to implement the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 for a set-up of the Urban Governance in the notified towns, to enable the urbanites to partcipate in decision-making and implementing processes of complicated urban problems affecting directly their daily lives. The book emphasizes people's empowerment, democratic, decentralised and participative civic governance which the 74th constitutional Amendment Act envisages. The functions of state Governments and urban Local Self-Governments as partners in a common endeavour ti improve the living conditions of the urbanites are emphasised.
