Question

The is the third tier of government after the government and the state government in an urban setting.

• A. central
• B. village
• C. panchayat
• D. municipality

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A central
D municipality

Simply put, a central government looks after the entire country, while state governments handle the running of a state. Given the sizeable scope of the responsibilities assigned to these two tiers of government, there arises the need for a third tier in the form of local self-government. Thus, we have ourselves an organisation called the municipality that oversees the provision of public amenities at a local level.
