1.Managing Urban Growth:
Development efforts have largely been concentrated in urban areas, and the state
has witnessed a high rate of migration from the villages to the towns.
2.Utilisation of public Expenditure: The experience of Sikkim shows that
benefits intended to be reaped through public expenditure appear to be
unutilised or underutilised by the community either because of inertia or other
reasons.
3.Governance and Corruption: In Sikkim many of the elements that
contribute to good governance have been eroded over the years. In particular,
the large-scale recruitment of under-qualified persons to government posts has
had an adverse impact on many areas of the economy and particularly on
governance standards in the state.
4.Decentralisation: People’s participation in the development process and
their influence on decision-making in the government are important if the
delivery of goods and services is to improve.
