520			_aIndia has witnessed a fast pace of urbanisation in recent past. The big or small cities attract enormous population from rural areas owing to the reasons like job seeking, education and better living, as such they become epicentres of economic growth on one hand and experience enormous problems of civic amenities, scarcity of space, traffic congestion etc. These cities are managed by urban self-governments with support of state and central governments through various schemes. Bihar has been among states having polluted and poorly managed cities. From 2022 the mayors and chairpersons of municipal bodies in Bihar are directly elected. In the changed situation of municipal governance and fast pace of urbanisation, it becomes an urgent imperative to assess the performance of urban local bodies (ULBs) in governance and delivery of public services. The present study is based on secondary sources of data collection. Our study indicates that these ULBs in Bihar are not well at delivery of civic services to the urban dwellers due to heavy dependence on central and state governments for funds and infrastructure. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/Journal%20Volume%20XX.pdf
