answered-by-expert Expert Answer
When power is taken away from Central and State governments and given to local government, it is called decentralisation. Decentralisation of power rational in democracy in because it enables peoples' participation in affairs of the state and their locality. 
  • Decentralisation helps in solving a large number of problems and issues at the local level. The basic principle behind this concept is that the central government cannot efficiently manage issues at local level.
  • People have better knowledge of problems in their localities and hence they are the best resources to solve problems.
  • They also have better ideas on where to spend money and how to manage things more efficiently.
  • Besides, at the local level it is possible for the people to directly participate in decision making. This helps to inculcate a habit of democratic participation
  • Local government is the best way to realise one important principle of democracy, namely local self-government.
