Answer Posted / shuchi

Calcutta (Municipal Corporation of Kolkata was
incorporated as a local governing body by the British
Government in the year 1690 in order to establish local
trade, which was favorable in many villages. After
independence, the state government in order to reform the
existing system and make it more efficient passed the
Kolkata Municipal Corporation act of 1980, which redefined
the functions of the municipality department and started
working with the responsibility of improving various civic
amenities throughout the city. Kolkata Municipality
provides numerous services ranging from construction of
health centers, schools, slum development programs, sewage
and waste management in the city.)
