✓

Answer

The Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution has made provisions for decentralization of power. It means:
  • Indian Constitution has divided the power between the centre, state and local self-governing institutions.
  • The guidelines about empowering the local self-governing bodies are given in the Constitution.
  • After independence, 73rd and 74th Amendment to the Constitution in 1992 has given constitutional status to the local self-governing bodies.
  • Due to this, there is increase in the participation by the people at grass root level. Democracy was put into practice which eventually got strengthened. Decentralisation curbed the misuse of power.
