Detailed Panchayati Raj was in existence during the Vedic period in ancient India and worked well as the people carried out their personal and official duties based on dharma. To familiarise a reader with Panchayati Raj institutions and empowerment of women, the book is spread over six chapters viz., village administration through the ages; review of related literature, theoretical issues and basic concepts; review of recommendations of various committees; new Panchayati Raj institutions; women in Haryana and their participatory role in Panchayati Raj institutions; and Indian politics and empowerment of women. The book deals with the historical context and examines current issues and would be of much use to research scholars, policy-makers, planners, decision-makers, elected members of the Panchayat as well as students in universities and others interested in the concerned subjects.

Besides, the detailed bibliography would certainly interest researchers working in this field. Provides the necessary base and intellectual stimulus for a more informed debate in working out the future policies and approaches towards democratic decentralisation and Panchayati Raj in our country.
