These Amendments amongst others provided for i) Constitutional status to all the Local Self-Governments in the Country, and ii) Independent State Election Commission in each State for timely conducting of elections in a free, fair and transparent manner. State Election Commission, Maharashtra which was established in 1994 returns more than 2,50,000 people’s representatives every 5 years in nearly28,000 LSGs (27 Municipal Corporations, 228 Municipal Councils, 130 Nagar Panchayats, 34 ZillaParishads, 351 Panchayat Samitis and 27781 Village Panchayats). With the advancement of economy, trend of urbanisation is increasing all over the Country. Maharashtra today is one of the most urbanised States with nearly 45% of its’ population staying in the Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and / or Nagar Panchayat areas. While conducting elections during 2015-18, a need was felt to have information about various LSGs at one place on the lines of District Gazetteers published by the Government prior to Independence. This being a herculean task, it was decided after detailed consultation at various levels to initially collect basic statistical information about all the Municipal Corporations, ZillaParishads& Municipal Councils and publish the same as separate volumes. Gradual improvement could be made in those books later on. State Election Commission, Maharashtra keeping the above in mind, asked the Divisional Commissioner, Pune to prepare formats for collecting the required information after consulting various Municipal Commissioners and experts. I am happy to learn that the information has been provided by all the Municipal Commissioners in the finalised formats and the same has been compiled by the Divisional Commissioner, Pune with the help of all Divisional & Municipal Commissioners and the same is being published now. The information in this book primarily pertains to demographic details, composition of Local Body, city infrastructure, development plan and important features of city etc. I am sure this book would be extremely useful not only to the Election Managers but also to the planners of the urban local bodies besides researchers, students and stakeholders. This being the first attempt of its kind, it is possible that some discrepancies and / or errors might have crept in while publishing this Book. If it is so, the same may be brought to our notice so that they could be rectified in future. I take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Deepak Mhaisekar, Divisional Commissioner, Pune, all the Divisional & Municipal Commissioners of the State and their staff for making this publication a reality. I wish this book all success. J.S.Saharia State Election Commissioner Maharashtra 5 Foreword We were pleasantly surprised when Hon’ble State Election Commissioner, Maharashtra, looking at the complexities of the ever increasing urbanisation in the State asked me to devise the formats and compile the basic information of the various Municipal Corporations at one place. I am happy to mention that the required information was readily provided by all the Municipal Corporations in the formats agreed to by all of us and the same has been collected &compiled in a short span of time with the help of the all Divisional Commissioners and Municipal Commissioners. I am further happy that this compilation of basic information of all the Municipal Corporations is being published by the State Election Commission for the information of the various stakeholders of democracy. I am sure this publication would be of extreme use not only during the elections but also for urban planning. I would like to thank all my colleague Divisional Commissioners & Municipal Commissioners and their staff for so painstakingly collecting and compiling this information in a short period of time.
