In the changed circumstances more and more countries are opting for democratic decentralisation . Nations are coming forward for tackling issues locally with peoples’ participation. This is the best solusion for poverty reduction and local economic development. There is a search for role models. Such replicative models can be put into practice, if dessimination of information is done properly and effectively . A journal exclusively focusing on local governance can play vital role in this regard. We are happy to bring out KILA Journal of Local Governance; as a platform for policy makers, academicians, research Scholars, professionals and extension workers for sharing information on theoretical and empirical nature on all areas of local governance. We hope this biannual will enrich the discourse on local governance based on thoughts, research findings, innovations and success stories.
