Abstract

This Article highlight’s the importance of the local bodies in the administration and development of the village, in the process of building the nation. The growth & development of the nation can only be achieved, if the village and its villagers actively participate in the growth. The administration of the village is exclusively vested with the Local Bodies or Local Self-Government. They receive the revenue from different sources such as grants from the Union and State Governments, imposing local body taxes and collecting fees and fines etc., They are the delegated authorities created by virtue of the Parent Act. The legislative functions performed by the Local Bodies are President, Vice-President and Chairman are elected by the peoples of the village. These Local Bodies plays an equitable role in revenue generation and collection of taxes which are assigned by the State and the Union. The taxes so collected by them are spent on the development of the village and building up of the infrastructural growth. The Parliament and the State Legislature allocate funds and these Local Bodies are capable of generating their own revenues. Being the mini-government, they are allotted and vested with the highly important works. Such as the planning for the infrastructure, implementing the welfare schemes and providing all the amenities which are required to the people. The Vision of our Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi Ji towards building the nation as a super power with self-sustaining and self-reliance goal by achieving “Sarvodhaya or Athmanirbhar Bharat” is possible with the development of the villages by providing with full financial assistance and support.
