Since Independence several attempts have taken place for decentralisation through Panchayati Raj institutions in India. On the same path, Kamataka state also has followed its own experiments. The present attempt is to make an enquiry about gram sabha which forms the grassroot level component of Panchayati Raj institutions and decentralised planning in Kamataka. The paper also tries to examine the structure of gram sabha in phase-wise manner under Kamataka Panchayati Raj Acts. To analyse the structural gaps and functional gaps about gram sabha in Kamataka two case studies were drawn from Bangalore (Rural) district and Dharwad district and they are analysed in the frame of Kamataka Zilla Parishad, Taluk Panchayat Samithi, Mandal Panchayat and Nyaya Panchayat Act, 1985. These case studies reveal that people's attendance and participation in gram sabha shows a declining trend. Further, this paper also points out certain uncertainties with gram sabha under the 73rd constitutional Amendment.

India's rapid economic growth has been accompanied by slower improvements in population health. Given the need to reconcile the ambitious goal of achieving Universal Coverage with limited resources, a robust priority-setting mechanism is required to ensure that the right trade-offs are made and the impact on health is maximised. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is endorsed by the World Health Assembly as the gold standard approach to synthesizing evidence systematically for evidence-informed priority setting (EIPS). India is formally committed to institutionalising HTA as an integral component of the EIPS process. The effective conduct and uptake of HTA depends on a well-functioning ecosystem of stakeholders adept at commissioning and generating policy-relevant HTA research, developing and utilising rigorous technical, transparent, and inclusive methods and processes, and a strong multisectoral and transnational appetite for the use of evidence to inform policy. These all require myriad complex and complementary capacities to be built at each level of the health system . In this paper we describe how a framework for targeted and locally-tailored capacity building for EIPS, and specifically HTA, was collaboratively developed and implemented by an international network of priority-setting expertise, and the Government of India.
