40(1), Jan-Jun, 2020: p.5-28 Increasing urbanisation and rising economic inequality are concomitant in India. Though studies have examined the level, pattern and trend of rurbanisation in Maharashtra, no attempt has been made to examine the level of well being across local bodies in urban India. Using data from the Census of India 2011, this paper examines the variations in community and household well being in the municipal corporations of Maharashtra. Two composite encodes of well being, namely, community well being index (CWI) and household well being index (HWI) are used to depict the state of well being at the community and household level respectively. Results suggest agree variations in HWI and CWI across the municipal corporations of Maharashtra. The correction coefficient of HWI and CWI was 0.51. – Reproduced Urbanisation, Municipal corporation, Maharashtra, Well being, India Urban India 260812
