The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.

  • The 74th Amendment Act of 1992 provides for the constitution of the following three types of Municipalities in every State:
    • Nagar Panchayat- For a transitional area, i.e., an area in transition from a rural area to an Urban area.
    • Municipal Council- For a smaller Urban Area. i.e., an Area of Population of more than 100,000.
    • Municipal Corporation- For a larger Urban Area i.e., an area with a population of more than 1 million. Hence, statement 1& 2 are correct.
  • In 1687-88, The first Municipal Corporation in India was set up at Madras. So, statement 3 is NOT correct.
  • In 1726, municipal corporations were set up in Bombay and Calcutta.
