ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper II (local governance) and GS Paper III (environment). Fragmented civic management in a large metropolis led to a two-tier structure, with the GBA coordinating several city corporations that deliver services such as solid waste collection. Pilots like evening pick-up can improve service delivery, but their success depends on funds, functions and functionaries being devolved to the corporations, along with citizen participation and waste segregation at source.
