History

Nagpur Municipal Council was established in 1864. At that time, Nagpur Municipal Council's geographical area was 15.5 km2 and Nagpur City's population was around 82,000 . The duties of the Nagpur Municipal Council include maintaining cleanliness, supplying street lights, and water supply with government assistance. In 1922, the Central Provinces & Berar Municipalities Act was framed for the proper functioning of the Municipal Council. On 22 January 1950, CP & Berar Act No. 2, was published in the Madhya Pradesh Gazette which is known as the City of Nagpur Corporation Act, 1948 (CNC Act). The Municipal Corporation came into existence in March 1951. The first development plan of the city was prepared in 1953. The Berar Province became part of the Maharashtra State in 1956 with Mumbai becoming the capital. Nagpur was declared the second capital of Maharashtra in 1960.


Administration

The corporation is headed by a Municipal commissioner, an IAS officer. He wields the executive power of the house. A quinquennial election is held to elect corporators to power. They are responsible for overseeing that their constituencies have the basic civic infrastructure in place and that there is no lacuna on the part of the authorities. The mayor is selected from the party with the largest vote. A largely ceremonial post, he has limited duties. Various departments such as public relations, library, health, finance, buildings, slums, roads, street lighting, traffic, establishment, gardens, public works, local audit, legal services, waterworks, education, octroi, and fire services manage their specific activities. The activities of NMC are administered by its zonal offices. NMC divides the city into 10 zones and which are served by zonal offices # Laxmi Nagar # Dharampeth # Hanuman Nagar # Dhantoli # Nehru Nagar # Gandhi Baugh # Sataranjipura # Lakkadganj # Ashi Nagar # Mangalwari. Seminary Hills As per NMC’s records, it has 10,450 employees at present (against a requirement of 12596) across more than 20 departments. Each zone is divided into several wards. Each ward is represented by a corporation. NMC comprises 151 corporators, the majority of whom are elected in local elections.
