Introduction and Methodology It is no exaggeration to say that achieving Gandhi’s idea of Gram Swaraj depends to a great extent in making Panchayats self-reliant and less dependent upon higher tiers of government. In order to become self-reliant, the panchayats need to work to mobilise their own funds as per the powers given to them by Article 243-H of Indian Constitution, which authorises the panchayats to levy, collect and appropriate taxes, duties, tolls and fees apart from receiving grant-in-aid from central and state government funds. Own Source Revenue (OSR) generation provides greater autonomy to the Panchayats and makes the Panchayats self-reliant; and thus, remains crucial in making the idea of gram-swaraj into a reality.
