Municipal Administration in India a Case Study of Karnataka State

According to the 1884 new Act, there was an increase in the proportion of the elected representatives in the council, as well as their resources and general powers. This Act was further modified in some important aspects by the Act of 1930. It eliminated the provision of nomination of Members to the Council and laid down that every Municipal Councillor should be elected. It however provided the reservation of seats for the Muslims, Indian Christians, Europeans, and Anglo Indians and for Women. It also removed the disqualification of women to contest election. Owing to wars, the elections postponed during the war period, however were held in 1947.
