In India, development and local self-government have a long history. The Indian society, which we find today, is definitely not the same as it was during the British rule. It is not easy that the areas which remained sick for such a long period should regain their health so soon. All the same, the change that has taken place with in a period of 60 years is highly encouraging and laudable. Majority of the people live in rural areas in developing countries, therefore, any attempt at bringing overall development must lay greater emphasis on rural development, which is sought to be brought about through planning. The government in such countries is facing the problem of initiating and accelerating the pace of development to enhance the standard of living of the people. Bureaucracy occupies an important position in the formulation and implementation of these plans.
