Local Governments
Write a short note on Nagar Panchayat.
For areas in transition from a rural area to an urban area, there is a provision for Nagar Panchayats which may be called by different names in different states. Some other local self-governing bodies working in small towns are known as “Town Area Committee”. The 74th Constitution Amendment Act designates them as Nagar Panchyat.
