Upcoming: India Rural Governments and Service Delivery

Excerpt:

"The report is based on a study of key sectors - health, education, drinking water and sanitation, and employment programs. The intent of the study was to assist the Government of India and state governments in defining the role of panchayats in service delivery.

Service delivery in rural areas has perverse and systematic problems and outcomes are poor. Education achievements are poor, particularly for girls, and absenteeism among teachers is high despite them being relatively well-paid. Drinking water quality is poor, sanitation is lagging, and employment programs have failed to have significant impact."
