Municipal Corporations in India

A Municipal Corporation, City Corporation, Mahanagar Palika or Mahanagar Nigam is a local government in India that administers urban areas with a population of more than one million. The growing population and urbanization in various cities of India were in need of a local governing body that can work for providing necessary community services like health care, educational institution, housing, transport etc. by collecting property tax and fixed grant from the State Government.

The 74th Amendment made the provisions relating to urban local governments.

Municipal Corporations are referred to by different names in different states (due to regional language variations), all of which are translated to "Municipal Corporation" in English (Except Malayalam-the same word). These names include Nagar Nigam (in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Haryana), Mahanagar Palika (in Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra), Pouro Nigom (in West Bengal), Pur Porishod (in Tripura), and Nagar Palika Nigam (in Madhya Pradesh), Nagara Palaka Samstha in Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana and Nagaraatchi in Tamil Nadu

The Vadodara Municipal Corporation is typically called by the name "Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan". The detailed structure of these urban bodies varies from state to state, as per the laws passed by the state legislatures, but the basic structure and function is almost the same.
