MUNICIPALITIES IN WEST BENGAL
Criteria for constitution of statutory Urban Local Bodies
There are no prescribed criteria currently m place for
constitution of cities. A process of framing such criteria vis-a-vis
promulgation of necessary act will be completed soon for all the
Municipal Corporations of the State except Kolkata and Howrah
Corporations to provide the guidelines for deserving areas to be elevated
to the status of corporation. Generally, municipalities are elevated to the
status of corporation on consideration of their importance, density of
population, pace of urbanisation in the area and finally the need for
integrated development of the urban core and its neighbourhood.
West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993 specifies a set of criteria for
the constitution of any municipal area. Such criteria are, however, subject
to relaxation for constitution of notified areas. The criteria are:
1. Population of the area should not be less than 20,000.
u. Density of the population should not be less than 750
inhabitants per square kilometer of area.
111. One half of the adult population should be chiefly engaged in
pursuits other than agriculture, and
IV. Income from taxation and other sources should likely to be
adequate for the discharge of municipal functions under the
Municipal Act.
According to the latest available information there are, in West
Bengal, 127 Urban Local Bodies of which 6 Municipal Corporations, 3
Notified Area Authority and 118 Municipalities. Dankuni Municipality has
206
newly been constituted with Dankuni, Mrigala, Manoharpur and
Garalgachha Gram Panchayat with effect from 1st November, 2008.
