URBAN LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT IN INDIA: INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Urban Local Self Governments, Urban Infrastructure Development, Performance Measurement and Classification, Regression Analysis, Logistic Regression AnalysisAbstract
Urban Local Self Governments play the major role in urban development process in India. This level of governments has enormous functions and inadequate source of finances. These governments invest surplus of own source over revenue expenditure along with external sources (grant and other fund) for infrastructure development. This paper establishes that performance measurement and classification of urban local self governments can be made on the basis of infrastructure development using indicators measured in purely financial parameters. Empirical study is based on state wise data. Multiple and binary regression analysis have been applied on the consolidated financial results under a state. Empirical study shows that the concept used in the paper has a strong base and therefore can be accepted.
