He emphasized the need for the distribution of power at the most micro level as this would ensure good governance. He referred to the Ambathur Municipality from Tamil Nadu as being an example of the same. He also mentioned that \u2018Self government is always better than Good Governance\u2019. Further, he also provided the audience with various historical examples where decentralization was used as a mechanism by the locals to govern themselves. After the lecture, Mr JP had an informal discussion where he interacted with students and faculty.<\/span><span><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reported by
