Municipal Corporation
Large cities
Mayor

Detailed Explanation

A Municipal Corporation is a governing body for large cities. It is headed by an elected Mayor, who is responsible for the administration and governance of the city. The Municipal Corporation deals with various urban issues such as infrastructure, public health, and sanitation. It comprises elected representatives who make decisions to improve the living conditions in the city.

Examples & Analogies

Think of a Municipal Corporation like a city council. Just as a council makes decisions about the community's welfare things, such as providing clean water or fixing roads, the Municipal Corporation manages and addresses the needs of a large city.

Municipality
Smaller towns/cities
Chairman or President

Detailed Explanation

A Municipality governs smaller towns and cities. It is led by a Chairman or President, who is elected by the residents. The municipality works similar to a Municipal Corporation but deals with less complex issues relevant to smaller communities. Tasks include managing local services like waste management, street lighting, and health facilities.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a small town with a local board that decides where to put a new park or how to better manage trash collection. That's what a Municipality does for smaller communities, ensuring that residents have necessary services and a good place to live.

Notified Area Committee

Notified Area
Fast-growing areas
Appointed administrator

Detailed Explanation

A Notified Area Committee is established for fast-growing or developing areas that may not yet have a fully functioning municipal body. These areas are managed by an appointed administrator instead of elected representatives. The idea is to facilitate effective management during the growth phase and ensure that the basic services are provided to new residents until a regular Municipal Corporation or Municipality can be formed.

Examples & Analogies

Think of a Notified Area like a temporary management team in a company that is rapidly expanding. Until a full team can be hired, experienced managers are brought in to handle immediate needs and ensure everything runs smoothly.
