Book Summary

For sustainable and economic development to take place in any country, it is necessary that people, both the male and female freely participate in the political process. They should be active catalyst of policy-making and social change. The process of participation is complex and it is by no means clear what is comprehensively inclusive. So it is not possible to assume that all sections of the population irrespective of caste, sex to take part effectively in the political and democratic process of the country.

Salient Features

Presents an overall picture of women in Panchayati raj institutions and their experience in panchayats. This brings out in concrete form the field level reality. This is something that may be appreciated intellectually by the scholars as well as policy-makers.
Though some studies have been done regarding panchayats in Assam, but this book is fully dedicated to women and their leadership. This is the first attempt in this field. It is an extensive and comprehensive study.
