An information system that empowers information agents having a stake in the development of a district government is discussed in this research. It analyses the case of a district administration in India who has implemented a browser based system. This system has information asymmetry and organisational capture as its goals; and it employs a few structural elements such as an incentive scheme for information generation, an auction scheme for selecting projects based on the best information offer, etc. It is argued that such a system is rational. These principles are novel, and it encourages a grass root governance that cannot be captured through simple schema of decentralisation.
