For a state experiencing financial  crunch, devolution of financial and fiscal autonomy  to the local governments had been the envisaged  drive no doubt. For the overburdened state health  system, sharing of responsibility by the Panchayats  through public health expenditures made out of local  revenue collected could have been a way out. Results  also show that wherever the Panchayats have acted,  the overall health situation (and also quality of  life) has improved. But although they have much to  do, and quite a scope, are they ready to make a  paradigm shift from physical assets to quality of  life? Their own fiscal health in general, their motivation  to generate revenue on their own, and their capacity  to act according to the local situation (without  directives from upper tiers), and also their  priority towards tangible assets that would at the  end of the day earn them the vote-bank seem to speak  otherwise. The analysis should help to comprehend  the pitfalls and perils of development through  decentralization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838385303\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Sample Study of Gram Panchayats in rural West Bengal, India\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838385303","offer_id":39499055300701,"sku":"9783838385303","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/41e50ea8-c157-474e-90b0-ab7135d1208d.jpg?v=1757742709","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/managing-public-health-out-of-own-source-revenue-von-marine-mukherjee","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
