"Public Participation in Development administration : A critical assessment of Indian Experiences"

Abstract Public participation has emerged as a pivotal component of development administration, particularly in democratic societies like India, where inclusive governance is both a constitutional promise and a developmental imperative. This research critically assesses the scope, mechanisms, and efficacy of public participation in development administration in India, examining the interface between state institutions and citizen engagement across varied socio-political and regional contexts. While the rhetoric of participatory governance has gained widespread acceptance in policy discourse, the translation of this ideal into practice remains uneven and contested. Drawing upon empirical case studies, policy analysis, and historical evolution, this study explores how institutional frameworks such as the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), and various participatory planning and grievance redressal mechanisms have facilitated or hindered citizen involvement in developmental processes. Particular attention is paid to flagship programmes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the Smart Cities Mission, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, which claim to foreground participatory principles in design and implementation.
