| Summary, etc. |
The Fourteenth Finance Commission (14th FC) was constituted at a time when the role and contribution of urban areas for the nation's economy and development is being recognised. With urbanisation, cities and towns experience service delivery deficit both to general and slum households. With benchmarks for some services in place, the State Finance Commissions (SFCs) and Finance Commissions (FCs) need to allocate grants-in-aid to local bodies to bridge the deficit and to meet future needs based on a formula instead of ad hoc grants which has been the case hitherto. The 14th FC need to address a comprehensive agenda that includes infrastructure provision, improved service delivery, services to poor, bridging the resource gap of Urban Local Bodies (ULB) and improve governance and workout a formula for grants-in-aid based on efforts of local bodies and state governments. This is critical to address the challenges of sustainable urban development and India's urban future. - Reproduced. |
