Template:Decision making in Local Self Government institutions

People's Plan refers to the efforts made to involve the masses in the process of decision making in the field of local self government by the Left Democratic Front government of Kerala (1996-2001) headed by Sri. E.K.Nayanar.

It involved chalking out the priorities of an area by the ward sabhas comprising the entire electorate of the ward of a local self government institution such as a Panchayat, Municipality or Corporation.

The plan chalked out by the ward sabhas would be implemented by a committee selected by the ward sabha and its implementation would be scruitinsed by the ward sabha from time to time.

It was conceptualised by late E M S Namboodiripad, the foremost leader of the Communist Party of India(Marxist) in Kerala.
