The book provides an account of the importance of training for the successful working of Panchayati Raj Institutions and highlights the issues concerning local government, democracy and political education.A close look on the development of Panchayati Raj training during nearly 50 years had amply shown the need for a scientific analysis of the training requirements in the context of the background of the elected representatives on the one hand and on the other to organize and manage these programmes with some amount of consistency and uniformity all over the country.The book identifies scientifically the syllabi for all the levels and the institutional arrangements needed to achieve such a stupendous work which involves training of around three million elected Panchayati Raj representatives. The book may be useful for policy planners and personnel involved in training process.
