Measures needed to make the local governments really effective in service delivery
Ensuring participatory local level planning by the PRIs to identify needs, levels of delivery and the
enhancements desired by the people in each sector.
Assigning clearly demarcated roles to the PRIs through activity mapping.
Confining centrally sponsored and State schemes to a small number of important programmes to achieve declared national and State goals and also providing adequate space for the PRIs to participate in these schemes.
• Undertaking a well-structured
process of administrative and fiscal devolution that matches the
resource availability at each level of the panchayats with functions assigned to it.
Providing capacity to the PRIs in the widest sense of
the term to perform their responsibilities efficiently;
Leveraging technology:
Digitalisation and Information and communication technology (ICT) intervention such as Geographical Information System (GIS) and satellite imagery to track project implementation has
vast potential to ensure more accountable, responsive and citizen- friendly PRIs.
Fifteenth Finance Commission has also recommended to enable online auditing of accounts and their consolidation at the State and all-India level.
Conclusion
The bottom-up pressure from the people demanding efficient delivery of public goods is increasing on the
State executive. It can be effectively met only with deeper decentralization. The digital penetration and connectivity in rural areas is reducing the rural-urban information gap and pushing the administration at the
local level to function in an effective way.

Roadblocks for PRIs in effective delivery of services
Elite Capture: Powers and resources devolved to local bodies are frequently captured by the powerful upper caste people.
Proxy Representation: There is a presence of Panch-Pati and Proxy representation in case of women and SC/STs representatives respectively.
Fund (lack of fiscal decentralization): Mostly they lack their own revenue funds and over 90% of the funds that PRIs handle are tied to some schemes (mostly central schemes) reducing PRIs to simple agents of higher-level governments.
Functions (lack of clarity in devolved functions): and paucity of adequate qualified functionaries has allowed concentration of powers with the states.
Functionaries (poor human resources): Absence of any secretarial support and lower levels of technical knowledge, manual auditing.
Non-availability of information at the local level: It leads to adhocism in prioritisation of schemes/
programmes, poor decision-making, and narrow participation of people in the process.

ROLE OF PANCHAYATS IN SERVICE DELIVERY
What make Panchayats suitable for effective delivery of public services?
Panchayats have been mandated for economic development, strengthening social justice and implementation of Central and State Government Schemes including those 29 subjects listed in the Eleventh Schedule of the
Constitution. In this context, Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) are responsible for delivery of basic services as enshrined under Article 243G specifically in the areas of Health & Sanitation, Education, Nutrition, Drinking
Water.
The PRIs by design has many positive features
for the effective delivery of essential services.
This includes:
Participatory Governance: Gram Sabhas have been empowered to prepare and implement plans at the local level.
Social Inclusion: Constitutionally
mandated reservation for women (1/3rd seats) and other marginalised communities
such as SCs and STs in Panchayats ensure their participation.
Accountability: Regular elections to Panchayats and empowerment to Gram
Sabha to undertake Social Audit under certain programs such as MGNREGA.
Responsiveness: Due to its proximity to voters, locally elected representatives
know their small constituency better and are in advantageous position to provide better services.
As per NITI Aayog, Localising of SDGs i.e. their implementation at the sub national or grassroot level
is essential for achieving the SDG targets for provisioning of basic services.
Bottom-up approach: The Gram Panchayats are constitutionally mandated for preparation of Gram
Panchayat Development Plans (GPDP) that are in convergence with schemes of all related Central
Ministries / Line Departments related to 29 subjects.
Functional Transparency: Public disclosure to the Gram Panchayats (GP) regarding funds made available under various schemes.

Way Forward
The need of the hour is in creating a Governance and management eco system that ensures better ethical
standards, accountability, and management of temples; maintenance of their assets and strengthening the cultural capital. This can be achieved through steps such as:
Public (general public) Partnership: To ensure that no particular segment dominates, and independent
voices are heard, and independence is maintained.
Building and strengthening institutions internally: Temple Board should be set up with members
representing various ecosystem of temples, like mutts, trustees, researchers and academicians, etc. and also ensure representation of women.
Club temples on the basis of hub and spoke model: Here, the larger and administratively strong temples will support smaller temples in the region.
Enhancing transparency in government functioning: It will hold the state responsible to the
administrative standards prescribed under the law.
Restricting role of HR & CE department: To regulatory, and supportive functions such as inventorying, recording, and protecting all the assets of all categories of temples, etc.

Arguments in favour of State intervention in management of temples
Social reforms: Such as challenging hereditary priesthood, ensuring no discrimination in entry in public temples etc.
Indian secularism: The concept of secularism in India is distinct from their western antecedents. India’s secularism limits the divide between the state and religion.
Efficient management of temples: Charitable Endowment Act exists for better administration and
preservation of temples and the endowed properties.
Large volume of funds: Several temples in India manage sizable amounts of movable and immovable assets. Government oversight could prevent financial irregularities.
Importance of temples for local economy: Temple economy provide employment opportunities and
livelihood to a host of people, such as priests, artists, performers, flower and puja materials etc.

STATE AND REGULATION OF TEMPLES
Background
Madras Hindu Religious Endowments Act of 1925 was the first enactment that related purely to Hindu religious endowments.
Since then several States, like Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, among others, have put in place some form of legislation for the management of Hindu Religious Institutions.
These laws mostly involve setting up of administrative bodies such as HR&CE departments with functions
involving overseeing the functioning & administration of temples, appointment of non-hereditary
trustees, approval of budgets, etc.
However, in recent times several questions have been raised on the efficacy, need and constitutional
validity of State control over religious institutions, specifically temples.
