This study has been taken to Explain Kudaivolai system in Tamilnadu under Cholas local self government. The most striking feature of the administrative system of the Cholas was their autonomous village administration (Kudaivolai system) and town administration. The ‘Uttaramerur Inscription’ belonging to the reign of Parantaka-I who belong to 10th century, gives details about the functioning and constitution of the local administration. The efficient Chola Administrative System has been well appreciated by many historians and rulers. Dynasties and Empires have risen and fallen, but Local Self Governments were survived. Thus, the conception of Local Self government is not foreign to the genius of the people of India.
