This study is an effort to analyse the effort made by Kerala in the background of the post-independent decentralization effort made in India and the recent experiment of decentralized administration and participatory planning in Kerala inaugurated through the people's campaign for decentralized planning. This study reveals the prospects for such a mass campaign and the limitations for it. However, given the situation, that appears to be an important option to mobilized masses to build local resistance to the invading global financial capital's efforts to bulldoze everything comes on their way.
