Introduction
After the 74thAmendment was enacted there are only three categories of urban local bodies:
• Mahanagarnigam (municipal corporation)
• Nagar palika (municipality)
• Nagar Panchayat (notified area council, city council)
In Maharashtra, Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) monitors the performance of
Urban Local Bodies and provides necessary guidelines for effective functioning of the local
bodies. Currently, 26 Municipal Corporations and 356 Municipals Councils (including Nagar
Panchayats) are spread across the entire state.
1 With the advent of the Remote Sensing and GIS technologies and its effectiveness for
efficient management of the city/town resources an Integrated approach of designing,
development and establishment of Geo-spatial technology based activities through mapping
of various land use, land properties, asset properties, transport and utilities, and linking
these spatial entities with the ERP/SAP/Property-Tax system is envisaged.
