-Health and San itation, includinghospitals, primary health rentres anddispensaries.Cultu ral Activities.Will be able to move staff to a foreigncountry and base them withoutrestrictions.Will be allowed to effect internationaltransfers and payments for currenttransactions without restrictionsWelfare of the weaker section and inparticular Schedule Caste andSchedule Tribes.Women and Child development.Maintenance of community assets.Markets and fairs.A look at the Table 3 separately further shows that the internationaltrade agreement, namely GATS does not accommodate localaspirations and overrides the powers enjoyed by them. Under GATSproviders of travel and tour related services try to expand their businessin destination countries and thus compete with the local providers whois in no way able to put up a fight with the foreign providers. Technologytransfer is expensive and Involves crores of money, putting thedeveloping countries at a disadvantage. Availability of outdated anddepleted technology and lack of technological know-how, thus fails toclose the gap between the local providers and the foreign operators.Under the National Treatment, treating the domestic and foreignsuppliers equally will place the locals at a disadvantage. Subsidies andtax benefits, which are major incentives for development of domesticindustries, will have to be shared with the foreign suppliers In otherwords it takes away the right of selective promotion enjoyed by thedomestic industries. Reduction of few local equity shares will no doubtpromote further concentration and integration. Relaxing the terms andconditions for the foreign suppliE:is and treating them at equal footingwill place the local providers at an inconvenience. Highways, oversizedhigh-end airports may be far from the reach and needs of the localcommunities who may wish to participate in the benefits of tcurism.Thus we see present economic priorities and tourism policy of thegovernment is more in consonance with the international agreements57
and in no way a c c ommodates the local community. If the consensus isin favor of giving maximum benefits of development and greaterparticipation and involvement of the local people, its time to take a hardlook at our present policy framewo rk. The Planning Commission hasacknowledged that after all these years of State prog rammes, thepau perization, exploitation and disintegration of tribal communitiescontin ues. The State Acts should endow the Panchayats with allpowers: legislative, executive and judiciary so as to enable them tofu nction as units of self-government and decide their own destinywithout any intervention from above. However in reality states adopt avery skeptic attitude towards the Panchayats and is seen as anextended administrative structure rather than treating them as a unit ofself-govern ment. A close look at the below table will further reveal theattitude of the state.58
