Main Body
It has advised state government to develop financial and political power to ULBs.
Evaluation of models:
Though devolution has unleashed significant (may a) it is tied in form of central sector schemes and performance linked.
It lacks to inflexible utilization and funds remaining underutilized.
Poor ULBs have a double whammy, because they are unable to perform due to less funds (vicious loop).
Mere formation of SEL and SFC will serve no purpose.
There should be meaningful devolution of power to make ULBs an efficient unit of self governance.
