How the exam will ask it

প্রিলিমস

  • The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 gave constitutional status to urban local bodies and added Part IXA and the Twelfth Schedule.
  • Urban transport is a state and local subject; the Union government supports it through schemes and policy such as the National Urban Transport Policy.
  • Bhubaneswar is the capital of Odisha and hosted the 19th Urban Mobility India Conference and Expo.

মেইনস

GS-II (urban governance) and GS-III (infrastructure). Rapid urbanisation strains city transport; the 74th Amendment devolves functions to urban local bodies, yet weak finances and fragmented agencies limit delivery. Way forward: empower unified metropolitan transport authorities, promote public and non-motorised transport, and strengthen municipal finance.
