Over the years, the growth of the number of municipalities and their size has been phenomenal and subsequently managing and administering them for the benefit of the people has become a challenging and highly professional task. This book explains the nitty-gritty of municipal administration and, to this end, the topics have been carefully selected to ensure a bird’s eye, but comprehensive overview of the subject. Every aspect of municipal administration has been explained in detail, in simple language making it easy to understand and in a clear and lucid manner. From time to time, by way of illustration, reference has been made to officers, employees and functions of cities, but on the whole, the approach is general. In an appropriate manner, a brief discussion of forms of municipal government has been superimposed to the extent that they relate to administration, so that the reader may evolve a conception of actual practices in terms of theory. The book, as is evident, will be useful for students and teachers of public administration as well as those actually involved in the working of municipalities.
