EOI For Empanelment Of Training Agencies  for Conducting Trainings Under Revamped Rashtiya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA), Administered By Ministry Of Panchayati Raj (MoPR).

About the Organization

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj oversees the ongoing process of decentralization and local governance in the states.

In a federalism, the powers and functions of the government are divided between two governments. In India these governments are the Union Government and the various state governments. However, with the passing of the 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts of the Constitution of India in 1993, the powers and functions have been divided to local self-governments (Panchayats at the village level and Municipalities and Municipal Corporations in towns and big cities). Thus, the Indian federal system now has not two but three levels of government.
