This is a collection is dedicated to Dr George Mathew, by eminent scholars and academics on decentralised governance and its importance in a globalising world. The Seventy third constitution Amendment Act of 1992, by making PRIs mandatory, was a historic move towards deepening democracy and advancing development through decentralisation.
