Explanation:

Royal Decentralisation Commission reviewed the total subject of local self-government that had touched almost every arena of local governance. The report of the commission is still a guideline for state governments. The commission indicated out the deficiency of financial resources as the great hindrance in the efficient operation of local bodies. The commission laid stress on the improvement of Village Panchayats and Sub-District Boards.
It suggested that the Village Panchayats should be empowered with more powers like:
a. Summarise jurisdiction in petty civil and criminal cases.
b. Acquiring of expenditure on village cleaning and menial village works.
c. Construction, safeguarding and supervision of village schools;
d. Managing of small fuel and fodder reserves etc.
Above all, for proper operating of Village Panchayats, these should be given enough sources of income and intervention of district officers should be restricted.
