Question

State any two advantages of Mahatma Gandhi's idea of decentralized governance like Panchayati Raj. 

Answer 1

Two advantages of Mahatma Gandhi's idea of decentralized governance, like Panchayati Raj, are:

1. Empowerment of Local Communities: Decentralised government enables residents to make decisions based on their individual needs and priorities, resulting in increased community engagement and self-reliance
2. Efficient Resource Management: Local government groups, such as Panchayats, have a greater understanding of local resources and concerns, allowing for more effective and sustainable management of water, land, and infrastructure.
