India is adopting various steps to bring women into the system of governance. Providing reservation for women in local selfgoverning bodies was one such initiative. With this many women had come forward and took part in various roles in the functioning of local self-governing bodies. But most of them are not having sound educational background or experience in political administrations. So the situation is like, we have a pool of women candidates in administrative roles who need to be equipped with certain skill sets to perform their duties well. The objective of the study is to identify the level of various skills among elected women representatives and suggest training requirements. It was found that that the ability of elected women representatives to work in teams, learn new things and make decisions is below the benchmark level. Thus training programs need to be initiated by government in this regard to enable women representatives to outshine in their performance.Keywords

The constitutional amendment in 1992 has entrusted local self-governing departments with the task of rural development. This system facilitates the emergence of governance at local level. Governance refers to the political and administrative authority which is responsible for the development of the society. It is the process of decision-making and its implementation by political leaders who are in the system. A clear understanding about the barometers of governance is very essential for improving the process and thereby ensuring development. This paper tries to identify the various factors that contribute to governance at grass ischolar_main level.Keywords
