13. Observations about urban administrative
structures at State Level
Each state has a different administrative structure to handle
urban sector, there exists natural and unnatural institutional
fragmentation.
Now a days nomenclatures used are Municipal Administration
and Urban Development, in some states old nomenclature of
‘Local Self Government’ is also used – Kerala, West Bengal
Urban Development nomenclature is used for the department
under which all urban planning and development authorities
work, while all municipal bodies are grouped under municipal
administration. Usually both these departments are headed by a
secretary or by two separate secretaries under one minister or
under two separate ministers.
In most of the States Urban Housing and Urban Transport fall
under separate department & under separate minister/secretary
In some states transport urban and rural falls under Home
department similarly fire brigade is under Home department in
many states.
14. Observations about urban administrative
structures at State Level
Some states have urban housing included in the nomenclature and
make urban housing integral part of the same department, while in
the states where it is separate from urban development it is
combined with anything – forest (kerala) environment (MP) etc.
Some states have a separate minister and department for the main
city of the State. – Bangalore (Karnataka), Guwahati (Assam)
Some states have carved out separate department for water and
drainage – Maharashtra, Kerala; while in some states urban water
supply and drainage is managed by Public Health Engineering
Department.
Some states have carved out slum upgradation as separate
department
Karnataka had a quire arrangement four different ministers above
one secretary looking after four different aspects of urban area -
Kerala has Local Self Government Department which has two parts
(two secretaries) one for ULB and other for Rural Local Bodies.
15. In Municipal Administration there exist ‘Diarchy’
Diarchy – government by two independent authorities –
Corporation / Council has policy making powers while Municipal
Commissioner has executive powers
Dyarchy, also spelled diarchy, system of double government
introduced by the Government of India Act (1919) for the
provinces of British India.
Unfortunately even after independence it has continued at ULB
level.
Very flat organisation, wider span of management
Organisation structure is not logically developed, no work /
volume standards
