Main Body

Principle of Subsidiarity is a judicial and governance principle that states that the implementation of policies must take place at smallest level (unit of governance).

Examples → 1. Resource planning through Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDP).

Importance:

1. Ensures greater efficiency in implementation as local needs, circumstances are taken into account.

Eg: Livelihood systems.

2Ensures faster feedback and hence improvement in policies. Eg: exclusive form social welfare schemes can be corrected.

3Ensures true democratic decentralization as it becomes a participative process.

4Eases to check corruption, leakages due to easier focus & clearer accountability. Eg: Social audit.

5Much more sustainable approach due to vested interest of locals, capability building of local institutions etc.

Eg: Own sources of revenue (OSR) for PRIs.

Principles of subsidiarity along with complementary federalism will ensure a true 'Smart Road' in such a diverse India.
