Key Points

  • The 74th Amendment Act of 1992 provides a basic framework of decentralisation of powers and authorities to the Municipal bodies at different levels.
  • What is the Wards Committee?
    • A "Ward Committee," which would be chaired by the elected representative from the particular ward, might include members from civil society, but a "Wards Committee" would include solely of elected representatives who would elect a chairperson from among themselves. Hence, the statement i is correct.
    • Article 243S establishes ward committees, which are made up of one or more wards with a population of three lakh or more. The State legislature must create provisions for the composition of ward committees, as well as the territorial area of ward committees and the way in which seats in Wards committees are filled.
    • The Ward Councillors are elected members. They are responsible for the welfare of the people of their wards. They listen to their problems and get them solved. Sometimes, they have to make complicated decisions that affect the entire city.
    • How is a ward Councillor elected?
      • Each ward has one seat in the wards committee. Members are elected to the wards committee on the basis of adult franchise for a term of five years. These members are known as councillors or corporators. The number of wards in a municipal area is determined by the population of the city. Hence, statement ii is correct.
    • Two members are nominated by the Government from such non-government organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) working within the area of the Wards Committee. Hence, statement iii is correct.​​
    • Only elected members of municipalities and ward committees can be elected as chairpersons of the wards. Hence, statement iv is not correct.
