self-governance in India

Self-governance in India refers to the process by which local communities and regional governments have the authority to manage their own affairs, laws, and resources. It ensures that decisions on local issues—such as education, health, and development—are made by people who are directly affected, promoting local participation and autonomy. The Indian Constitution grants certain powers to state and local governments, balancing national unity with regional diversity. This decentralization helps better address specific local needs, encourages community involvement, and fosters effective governance at grassroots levels.
