How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Statement: Elections to municipal bodies are conducted by the State Election Commission under Article 243K of the Constitution.
- Statement: The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 added Part IXA and the Twelfth Schedule, which lists the functions of municipalities, including solid waste management and public health.
- Statement: Ward committees are mandated for municipalities with a population of three lakh or more under Article 243S.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (local governance) and GS-III (waste management): Bengaluru's civic issues -> 74th Amendment devolution, Twelfth Schedule functions, and the GBA's multi-corporation structure -> GPS-tracked collection improves accountability, but delayed civic polls and weak ward-level participation limit democratic oversight -> way forward: timely elections, empowered ward committees, source segregation and data-driven monitoring of service delivery.
