(See Figure 2.12). Telangana receiving relatively lower amounts of FDI is
chiefly due to the concentration of investments in Hyderabad city.

2.6.04 Devolution of Fiscal Powers to PRIs namely the ZPs, MPs
and GPs
AP is one of the few states with substantial devolution of powers and finances to
its third tier of governance structure. The Handbook of Statistics published by the
District Collectorate in each of the 22 districts (Hyderabad urban district is
excluded) contains valuable information on receipts and expenditure for each
level of PRIs namely the Zilla Parishads (ZPs), Mandal Parishads (MPs) and Gram
Panchayats (GPs). Data for the most recent years 2008-09 or 2007-08 are
highlighted below. The expenditures at the three levels of governance structures
i.e., ZP, MP and GP are not mutually exclusive, but a review of them together
does underscore the financial devolution and extent of independence on
development expenditure at the grassroots.
