Local self-governments are the crucial basis for our democracy. The Constitutional status of local self-governments adds more significance to their functioning.

- Lack of clear demarcation of powers and functions of local bodies
- Allocation of funds and needs assessment are not matched
- Role of caste, class, and religion in decision making at the local self-governments
- Poor accountability of elected members and officials at the grassroots levels of democracy.
