EspañolLOCAL GOVERNANCE IN INDIA
(Redirected from Municipal committee)
Local Governance in India can be divided into two categories, ''urban'' and ''rural''.
Urban Local Bodies [ULBs] provide basic infrastructure and services in cities and towns. According to a 1991 Indian Census, there are 3255 ULBs in the country classified into four major categories: municipal corporations, municipalities (Municipal council, municipal board, 'municipal committee'), town area committees and notified area committees.[1]
Large urban areas are governed by ''municipal corporations'', often simply called ''corporations''. The area under the corporation is further divided up into ''wards''. Individual wards or collections of wards within a corporation sometimes have their own administrative body known as ''ward committees''.
Smaller urban areas are governed by municipal councils or municipal boards, which are often referred to simply as ''municipalities''. Municipalities are also divided into wards, which may be grouped together into ''ward councils''. One or more ''corporators'' are elected to represent each ward.
Rural governance in India is based on the Panchayati Raj system.
It is a three tier system, with the Zilla Parishad at the district level, blocks at the middle level and the village council at the lowest level.
