CHE#60 | Bangla Podcast | Democracy at the Grassroots: Is Panchayati Raj in Crisis? | Suvojit Chattopadhyay
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the state of the Panchayati Raj system in India — a vision once rooted in grassroots democracy and self-governance, now facing serious challenges.
Joining with us today is Suvojit Chattopadhyay , a seasoned development professional currently based in Nairobi, Kenya, where he works as Head of Adam Smith International. With a rich career spanning multiple countries—including India, Ghana, Kenya, and Somalia—Suvojit brings deep insights into governance and international development practice. He is the author of a recent article in The Hindu titled “The Panchayati Movement in Distress.” We’ll explore the relevance of Panchayati Raj in today’s rapidly urbanising India, the tension between fiscal autonomy and central control, political participation at the grassroots, and the evolving role of local governments in the age of digital governance and welfare delivery.
