Gram Sabha Kambur Panchayat, Madurai: Emerging Grassroots Leadership

RGICS studied the phenomenon of grass roots mobilisation in Kambur village panchayat which has led to active participation of people in institutional mechanisms. Loaded with knowledge of their rights and data on public expenditure, people of the panchayat now raise their issues and make legitimate demands on local government in Gram Sabha. In this study, the role of a group young people as leaders of this mobilisation takes centre stage.
