چکیده
Community development has been a central theme of most of the socio-economic planning in India in the last 50 years. After gaining political independence, the popular parliamentary Government formed in India became concerned with finding mechanisms and resources to put India on a fast track of development. Realizing the fact that unless 80 percent of the rural population is involved in the developmental process, no substantial progress is possible a variety of efforts were initiated. Given the diversity and complexity of Indian society, it was a major challenge for the Government, bureaucrats, activists and social scientists to prepare viable community development programmes.
