When we talk about scaling, we usually discuss about scaling activities or set of processes or use of tools and technology to undertake tasks at scale. When we need to look at scaling the governance challenges, we need unique approaches towards solving such approaches - there are three pillars, as elaborated below:
Pillar-1: Villages and their institutions which conserve, protect and govern natural resources. They are institutions (that are closest to individuals) that believe in deliberative democracy and consensus.
Pillar-2: The villages and their institutions are nested within the larger design of Panchayati Raj. They being structures as representative democracy, which thrives on the strength it gains from the functioning of the village institutions.
Pillar-3: The ground level functionaries form the third pillar, which can help strengthening the system, anchoring different functions and supporting the democratic institutional forms. They are key to the unit level processes.
Suggestions and criticism on the same are welcome!
