Election Basics: Who does what
1 Functions of union government
The subjects in this list includes subjects of national importance like defense, foreign affairs, atomic energy, banking, post, telegraph, custom duties, inter- state and national highways, railroads and taxation of income.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Functions of state government
The state list contains 66 subjects of state importance on which the state governments can make laws. These subjects include police, local governments, trade, commerce and agriculture. In times of national and state emergency, the power to make laws on these subjects is transferred to the Parliament. The concurrent list contains 47 subjects on which both the Parliament and the state legislatures can make laws. It includes criminal and civil procedure, marriage and divorce, education, economic planning, labor welfare, social security and trade unions. However, in case of a conflict between a law made by the central government and a law made by the state legislatures, the law made by the central government will obviously prevail. The local governments allow further decentralization or distribution of power and allow people to participate in the functioning of the Government.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Importance of local government
India is a vast country. It is not efficient to go to the Union or State government for every decision or issue. Therefore in addition to Union and State we have local governments that are closer to the people. The government at the Centre of the State may not understand the local problems. The local people.s leader best represent the people in the city or in the village. The residents of a city are better acquainted with and have easier access to their local representatives; this makes the leader more accountable. It is more economical to have decisions made locally to suit the local needs and conditions. In a sense, when you decentralize power you also decentralize corruption.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 What does local government do?
Local governments are institutions of self government. They have political, functional and economic power for good governance. They provide basic services and infrastructure that are indispensable to our well being.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5Type of local governments
The rural governments are Village Panchayats. The Urban local governments are either Municipal councils or Municipal Corporation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6Functions of urban local governments
Water supply for domestic, industrial and commercial purposes Public health, sanitation and solid waste management Fire services Public amenities including streetlights, parking lots and bus stops Urban amenities and facilities such as parks, gardens and playgrounds Roads and bridges Slum improvement, urban poverty alleviation Maintenance of burial grounds Registration of births and deaths Regulation of slaughter houses and tanneries Urban planning including town planning Regulation of land use and construction of buildings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7Functions of village local governments
Look after street lights, construction and repair work of the roads in the villages and also the village markets, fairs, festivals and celebrations. Keep a record of birth, deaths and marriages in the village. Look after public health and hygiene by providing facilities for sanitation and drinking water. Provide for education. Implement development schemes for agriculture and animal husbandry. As urban citizens, we sometimes fail to recognize the crucial role the government plays in providing us a better quality of life. Compared to union or state elections, the local elections have the least voter turnout.

India face tour's toughest Test
New Zealand v India, 3rd Test, Wellington
India face tour's toughest Test
Sidharth Monga in Wellington
April 1, 2009
If one of the challenges of Test cricket is playing in various conditions, then any team aspiring to be the best team in the world should visit the Basin Reserve in the first week of April.
Located beneath Mount Victoria and Mount Cook in windy Wellington, the Basin Reserve is totally uncovered. Most of the seating is in the grass banks, and the few stands that exist are not high at all. With winter approaching and the Southerlies blowing with gusto, the players will definitely feel the need to protect against the cold. Wellington in early April is New Zealand's equivalent of a dry and dusty Ahmedabad in October. Thank goodness some things like the weather can't be tailored, or else, going by the trend of homogenous pitches, the sameness would have completely taken over.
To the disappointment of many, India have largely played in conditions similar to those at home so far on the tour. Admittedly, Christchurch was cold but the flat pitch at the AMI Stadium didn't test them much. India struggled on a nippy pitch in Auckland but the one-day series had already been won by then. In Hamilton and Napier, the Indians found even the weather to their liking - it was warm and sunny. And the less said about the pitch at McLean Park the better.
The Indians arrived in Wellington with a 1-0 lead in the series and, when they reached the Basin Reserve two days before the Test, the skies were overcast, the temperature was about 10 degrees Celsuis, and winds were blowing around 30kmph. That's one-third of the speed of a Harbhajan Singh quicker one and about 23% of the normal pace of the fast bowlers. Thursday and Friday are expected to be sunnier, but the forecast for the weekend - the second and third days of the Test - is cloudy.
The Indian team trained for three hours on Wednesday, but not many shed their jackets, gloves and beanies. VVS Laxman wore a thick jacket, while Virender Sehwag had a sleeveless sweater. One of the players said it was even colder than their last visit to New Zealand in 2002-03, while another said he had encountered similar conditions in England. Another member of the team said that the cold was manageable but the winds presented a challenge.
That even the New Zealand players are finding it cold shows just how big a factor the conditions will be. "I think they [India] will find it a little bit cold," Brendon McCullum said. "If we find it cold here, no doubt they will be freezing. I am sure, from their point of view, they will be hoping that the wind dies down and the sun comes out but, from ours, it will be great to have them on the park when the conditions are like this. I am sure we are going to find the conditions a little bit more pleasurable than they are."
Chris Martin said that New Zealand were used to the weather at the Basin Reserve, a ground on which they have "had some success in the past". "It's something a lot of touring teams dislike and quite a lot of people playing here domestically find it tough as well," Martin said. "But it's character building, and is definitely something the supporters will have to put up with as well.
"I know most subcontinental sides that have come out here find it very difficult to keep their bodies warm and I think they might want their bowlers to get us out even quicker. But I suppose that's one of the things you have to put up with just as we put up with the heat in India and places like that."
Gary Kirsten, India's coach, said his team was looking forward to the challenge posed by the conditions. "Little bit cold for the Indian guys, but we have adjusted pretty well," Kirsten said. "The guys are looking forward to it. There has been talk about the third Test within our camp. We have got a fair amount of rest watching the guys bat [in Napier]. So I think the bowlers are pretty keen to get out there."
Kirsten also said it was too early to change any plans because of the windy conditions. "We will have to see when we get out there," he said. "Conditions look good certainly for the first few days. But it does effect things a little bit, but you can only make those decisions when on the field."
When the sun is out, the Basin Reserve presents the spectators one of the best viewing experiences for a Test match. Without doubt it is the best cricket ground in New Zealand, and is protected by an Act of Parliament. It is fitting it should present a visiting team with the toughest test of the tour.

In Hamilton and Napier, the Indians found even the weather to their liking - it was warm and sunny. And the less said about the pitch at McLean Park the better.
The Indians arrived in Wellington with a 1-0 lead in the series and, when they reached the Basin Reserve two days before the Test, the skies were overcast, the temperature was about 10 degrees Celsuis, and winds were blowing around 30kmph. That's one-third of the speed of a Harbhajan Singh quicker one and about 23% of the normal pace of the fast bowlers. Thursday and Friday are expected to be sunnier, but the forecast for the weekend - the second and third days of the Test - is cloudy.
The Indian team trained for three hours on Wednesday, but not many shed their jackets, gloves and beanies. VVS Laxman wore a thick jacket, while Virender Sehwag had a sleeveless sweater. One of the players said it was even colder than their last visit to New Zealand in 2002-03, while another said he had encountered similar conditions in England. Another member of the team said that the cold was manageable but the winds presented a challenge.
That even the New Zealand players are finding it cold shows just how big a factor the conditions will be. "I think they [India] will find it a little bit cold," Brendon McCullum said. "If we find it cold here, no doubt they will be freezing. I am sure, from their point of view, they will be hoping that the wind dies down and the sun comes out but, from ours, it will be great to have them on the park when the conditions are like this. I am sure we are going to find the conditions a little bit more pleasurable than they are."
Chris Martin said that New Zealand were used to the weather at the Basin Reserve, a ground on which they have "had some success in the past". "It's something a lot of touring teams dislike and quite a lot of people playing here domestically find it tough as well," Martin said. "But it's character building, and is definitely something the supporters will have to put up with as well.
"I know most subcontinental sides that have come out here find it very difficult to keep their bodies warm and I think they might want their bowlers to get us out even quicker. But I suppose that's one of the things you have to put up with just as we put up with the heat in India and places like that."
Gary Kirsten, India's coach, said his team was looking forward to the challenge posed by the conditions. "Little bit cold for the Indian guys, but we have adjusted pretty well," Kirsten said. "The guys are looking forward to it. There has been talk about the third Test within our camp. We have got a fair amount of rest watching the guys bat [in Napier]. So I think the bowlers are pretty keen to get out there."
Kirsten also said it was too early to change any plans because of the windy conditions. "We will have to see when we get out there," he said. "Conditions look good certainly for the first few days. But it does effect things a little bit, but you can only make those decisions when on the field."
When the sun is out, the Basin Reserve presents the spectators one of the best viewing experiences for a Test match. Without doubt it is the best cricket ground in New Zealand, and is protected by an Act of Parliament. It is fitting it should present a visiting team with the toughest test of the tour.
Prabhu Deva meets his Indian idol
Prabhu Deva meets his Indian idol! IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, April 01, 2009] Prabhu Deva was in Mumbai to shoot Dance India Dance, a Zee TV reality show, and was keyed up to be sharing the stage with his idol Mithun Chakraborty.
