There are two common forms of local self-government – Urban Local Government and Rural Local Government. The rural local bodies are described as institutions of democratic decentralization or Panchayat Raj. While the urban, the urban areas are administered by different types of local bodies. As a local government is a state subject, these bodies are created by state legislation which lays down the conditions for constituting them. The six types of urban bodies presently in existence are – Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, Notified Area Committee, Town Area Committee, Cantonment Board and Improvement Trusts. These urban local bodies are established from time to time and as per need in a Union Territory by an Act of Parliament and in the territory of a state by an Act of State Legislature. Of these six forms of urban local bodies, municipalities are established in small cities and municipal corporations in big cities depending upon the need by the respective governments. The increasing urbanisation is posing many problems and challenges to the urban local authorities. The services provided by the municipal government, both qualitatively and quantitatively are inadequate and poor. This calls for radical reform of the urban government structure and its functioning. Only the efficient organisation and management of Municipal Corporation will meet the increasing expectations of urban people and bring marked improvement in the standard, range and quality of services provided in a particular city. As democracy advances the importance of public administration as a theme for study becomes more and more concern evoking public interest and involvement. Hence the need of administration of local government body has become more relevant in recent times
