• At present urban population is above 30% of total population in india.

• Deterioration of infrastructure and basic services in urban areas is taken place due to

migration from adjoining region.

1.1 NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

• Ulbs hold the key to achieve national objective of social and economic development.

• The Ulbs have the responsibility to create environment for productivity.

• The govt's aim should be such that small and medium towns are developed to offload

burden on bigger cities as also to create intervening opportunity.

India decentralized power to strengthen local govt. through 74™ constitutional

gandhi during 1989.Finally passed during December' 1992 and effective with effect from

3.0 APPLICATION AND EXPERIENCE OF EACH OF THE ARTICLES

74,H

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ARE APPENDED BELOW:

3.1 CONSTITUTION OF MUNICIPALITIES It is a mandated criterion which provides direction for creation of three tier body based on

number of population, population density, revenue generation and economic activity. Following

is the population criteria which were adopted in 65th

constitutional amendment.

______________________________________________________________________________

__

Type Population Description

Nagar panchayet 10,000-20,000 Fringe areas having

semi urban Characteristics

Municipal Council 20,000-3,00,000 Medium size towns

Municipal Corporation Above 3,00,000 Large towns/ cities

____________________________________________________________________

Majority of state govt, constituted and classified towns without considering the above population

criteria and overlooked the other factors. As example Rajasthan considered population of 5 lacs

for creation of City Corporation and Maharastra considered 25,000 for municipal council.

3. 2. COMPOSITION OF URBAN LOCAL BODIES As per 74

thconstitutional amendment all seats are to be filled by people's representatives through

direct election to bring true democracy. There is provision for inclusion of MLA and MP in the

body. Number of representatives is to be based on population size. There is also provision to

include persons having special knowledge and experience in municipal administration.

A very few states have included persons of knowledge on administration.

3. 3. WARD COMMITTE - DECENTRALISATION

The amendment envisages creation of Ward Committee through division of Municipality having

population more than 3 lacs into territorial constituencies known as Ward for better linkages with

citizen. The ward committee may consist of one or more wards. Function, structure and

formulation have been left to laws of State. While Kerala has created Ward Committee for every

ward, Maharastra has grouped the wards. West Bengal has constituted ward committee

irrespective of population size of municipalities.

74 TH AMENDMENT ACT

NOVEMBER 2009

3. 4. RESERVATION OF SEATS-SC/ST/WOMEN The 74

th amendment provides for equal representation in decision making in proportion to total

population. While one third of the total seats would be reserved for woman elected

representatives there will be adequate representation from SC and ST category of people.All the

states have followed this provision.

3.5 DURATION OF ULBs & ELECTION Each elected board of municipalities would be in operation for 5 YEARS. However in case of

dissolution election would be held within 6 months. This has prevented prolonged suppression of

ULBs. The election would be conducted in every 5 years under direction and control of State

Election Commission. Selection of mayors and Chairman would be made by State from

councilors.

There is no mention of standard or qualification of candidates.

3.6 URBAN FINANACE- DEVOLUTION OF SOURCE OF REVENUE

THROUGH SFCs The 74

th amendment directs state governments to constitute state finance commission in line with

central finance commission once in 5 years. SFCs responsibity is to decide on sharing of state's

tax, duties, tolls between state and municipalities and also distribution between municipalities of

the state. It would suggest for improvement in financial position.

Though all the states have established SFCs delay in implementation of SFCs suggestion are

observed by most of the states. There is also necessity for capacity building to comply SFCs

guidelines. It is also important to maintain balance between the Function and Finance. Many of

the States are yet to adopt new approaches to levy tax etc. to improve financial base.

3. 5. FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN-12™ SCHEDULE The state legislations to assign 18 functions to ULBs as per 12

th schedule related to planning,

infrastructure, public health, solid waste, fire service, environment, proverty alleviation,

amenities, culture, education, aesthetic etc. The details are narrated below:

1) Urban Planning including town planning.

2) Regulation of land use and construction of building.

3) Planning for economic and social development.

4) Roads and bridges.

5) Water supply for domestic, industrial and commercial purposes.

6) Public health, sanitation conservancy and solid waste management.

7) Fire services.

8) Urban forestry, protection of the environment and promotion of ecological aspects.9)

Safeguarding the interests of weaker sections of society, including the handicapped and mentally

retarded.

10) Slum improvement and up gradation.

11) Urban poverty alleviation.

12) Promotion of cultural, educational and aesthetic aspects.

In many states functional domain of municipalities appears to be confused. It is not clearly

mentioned whether all the functions to be assigned to municipalities irrespective of category.

Details regarding distribution of function between municipalities and other state agencies are

also not spelt out. There is need to match between the Function and Finance.

74 TH AMENDMENT ACT

NOVEMBER 2009

5. PLANNING AT DECENTRALISED LEVEL In order to decentralize planning activity the 74

th amendment directs for formation of District

planning committee and Metropolitan planning committee

5. 1. DISTRICT PLANNING COMMITTEE District planning committee is to be set up to integrate planning for urban and rural areas. 4/5

th of

the representation shall be from elected members with representation from rural and urban areas

on proportionate basis. Public representatives are expected to provide real needs, fix priorities,

formulate policies of people. The responsibility of DPC is here in under:

• To consolidate plan prepared by Panchayets and municipalities

• To prepare draft development plan considering economic development and social justice.

• To look after common interest between Panchayets and municipalities including spatial

planning.

• To look after sharing of water and physical resources

• To integrate development of infrastructure.

• To available of resources and finances.

• To promote integrated and participatory planning

• To recommend socio-economic district development plan to state

Only 10 states and 2 UTs have constituted the DPC. West Bengal, Tamilnadu, Kerala,

Karnataka, Sikkim are example. In Madhya Pradesh power of administration and financial

sanction is vested with DPC.

The proportionate proportion of Public representatives as prescribed in the act may create

disparity in urban and rural areas as urban areas require greater attention. It is necessary to have

relationship between DPC and State planning board to make long term perspective plan of the

state. With the constitution of DPC, restructuring of state department and agencies is needed for

better planning and development under DPC. However it is necessary to ensure that DPCs are

properly equipped with professionals from various disciplines and other resources. There must

be a proper relationship and coordination between DPCs and ULBs with respect to resource

mobilisation and implementation.

5.2 METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMITTEE

Metropolitan planning committee is to be set up with the similar objectives DPCs at metropolitan

cities ( 35 Nos) having population more than 10 lacs. 2/3th

of the representation shall be from

elected members with representation from rural and urban areas on proportionate basis. MPCs

shall act with overall objectives and priorities of Gol/ State and investment need.

While only West Bengal has constituted the MPCs namely Kolkata metropolitan Committee,

Maharastra is in the process of setting up the committee.

With the constitution of MPC, there is a need to define role of development authorities, state

depts like roads, PHE, water supply, Housing Board. There may be also conflict between DPC

and MPC in respect of jurisdiction. Since the MPC is a new body it is required to be equipped

with professionals like town planners for preparation of spatial planning. Most of the state is

required to amend their town and country planning act.

74 TH AMENDMENT ACT

addition to above:

•Formulate development goals , objective sand policies

URBAN POPULATION IN

census towns increased from 137 in 1991 to 253 in 2001.

percentage of urban population in class1 town decreased from

81.7% ON 1991 TO 75% ON 2001.

7 .0 ANALYSIS.

Provision for every area to have a local body.

Conducting regular elections and formations of finance commissions to review financial status

of these local bodies.

The act is significant for the planning of new towns and the cities.

Urban planning including town planning appears to be the top of the list.

The functions in the 12 th schedule include

• regulation of land use

• construction of buildings

Hence planned development of city and town becomes major function of local bodies which

earlier were involved in maintenance of services and facilities.

Urban planning as field was not listed in any list of constitution it has now found a place under

the provision of this amendment and should be regarded as achievement for field.

Local bodies are the peoples bodies and hence planning and development will be according to

wishes of the people.

Provisions for planned development are not restricted to cities and towns only .the DPC are set

to for planning at district level.

By creating DPC the hierarchy has been created in the process of making development plans.

The 74th

amendment of the constitution of india introduces many enabling features to bring about

effective local governance. but as things have turned out, several important parts of the

constitutional amendment are not being implemented in spirit. e.g. formation of MPC

74 TH AMENDMENT ACT

NOVEMBER 2009

LACK OF POLITICAL WILL AND AWARENESS

e.g. in case of MPC insecurity from the state, that the MPC may acquire its own political identity

and become a counterpoint to the state government.

The urban population is unaware of the importance of their vote and has weak participation in

the political process.

8.0 CONCLUSION.

THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT IT IS ENTIRELY A GOOD PICTURE,CURRENTLY IT IS JUST

THE PRESENCE OF THE RIGHT CHEMICALS.FOR ANY CHEMICAL REACTION TO BE

RIGHTLY SUCCESSFULCONTROLLED CONDITIONS ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
