Ward Committees — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing Article 243W provisions, population threshold (3 lakh), composition structure (elected + nominated), and key functions. Practice elimination techniques by understanding what Ward Committees cannot do (taxation, independent policy-making).

Remember the relationship with Municipal Corporations and distinction from rural Gram Sabhas. Create memory aids for constitutional articles and amendment details. Pay attention to recent reforms and current affairs connections, especially Smart City integration and COVID-19 response roles.

Practice questions on comparative aspects with other local governance institutions.
