Local government in Maharashtra
Local government in Maharashtra State follows the general structure of Local Governance in India and is broadly classified into two categories: Urban Local Governance and Rural Local Governance.
Urban Local Governance
Urban local governance can be classified as either by Municipal Corporation or by Municipal Council.
Municipal Corporations
Large urban areas are governed by Municipal Corporations (also called just Corporations). The area under each Corporation is further divided up into Wards. An individual ward or collection of wards within a corporation sometimes have its own administrative body called a Ward Committee.
There are 26 Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra, as follows:
- Mumbai
- Thane
- Mira-Bhayandar
- Navi Mumbai
- Kalyan-Dombivli
- Ulhasnagar
- Bhiwandi-Nizampur
- Vasai-Virar
- Pune
- Pimpri-Chinchwad
- Kolhapur
- Sangli-Miraj-Kupwad
- Solapur
- Ahmednagar
- Nashik
- Malegaon
- Jalgaon
- Dhule
- Aurangabad
- Nanded-Waghala
- Parbhani city
- Latur
- Akola
- Amravati
- Nagpur
- Chandrapur
Municipal councils
Smaller urban areas are governed by Municipal councils or Municipal Boards (also called just Municipalities). Municipalities are further subdivided into Wards, which may be grouped together into Ward Councils. One or more corporators are elected to represent each ward. There are 233 municipalities in Mahaharashtra.
Rural Local Governance
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 Village Council at the lowest level.
Zilla parishad
Zilla Parishad (commonly known as ZP) is a local government body at the district level in India. It looks after the administration of the rural area of the district and its office is located at the district headquarters.
There are 33 Zilla Parishads in Maharashtra, one each in every district.
Panchayat samiti
Panchayat samiti is a local government body at the Tehsil or Taluka level in India. It works for the villages of the Tehsil or Taluka that together are called a Development Block. The Panchayat Samiti is the link between the Gram Panchayat and Zilla Parishad.
There are 355 panchayat samitis or block panchayats in Maharashtra.
Gram panchayat
Gram panchayats are local self-government bodies at the village level. They are a cornerstone of the panchayati raj system. A gram panchayat can be set up in villages with a population of more than five hundred. There is a common gram panchayat for two or more villages if the population of these villages is less than five hundred, whereupon it is called a group-gram panchayat.
There are 28,813 gram panchayats in Maharashtra.
Elections
After every five years, Maharashtra State Election Commission conducts elections in all local bodies.

ReplyDeletetaxes have always been an issue for the properties in Maharashtra. they always want more revenue but the development is least.
ReplyDeleteaccording to one of the reports, this local governments are also some of the most corrupt and least working. recently there was a case in properties in jalgaon where loans were granted for development but money was used for other purpose. so such things must be curbed and their activities and work must be assessed properly.
