Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Governs large urban areas (metropolises) with significant populations and complex infrastructure demands. Headed by a Mayor (often ceremonial) and driven by a Municipal Commissioner (bureaucratic head), it manages water supply, sewerage, roads, education, health infrastructure, and local economic development. The Corporation raises revenue through property tax, octroi (in some states), advertisement fees, and state grants. Ward committees ensure local representation, while standing committees handle specialized functions. Though powerful, many Corporations face political tussles between elected members and appointed officials, and rely heavily on state-level financial transfers. Effective municipal governance can transform urban living conditions, driving India’s broader economic growth.
