There are over 4000 ULBs in India and several thousands of crores of rupees are involved in their operations. They are also one of the oldest institutions in the country incharge of governance at the lowest level in our urban areas. Proper management of their finances is of utmost importance not of the sheer size of each of the ULBs but also of their `public nature'. Further, bad financial management in the ULBs is visibly reflected in the state of our towns and cities. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aGood governance  aAccountability  aFinancial administration  aLocal government  aIndian Journal of Public Administration  aN  a63087  c63087d63087  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 50, Issue no: 3pAR63537r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
