CHAPTER 5
FORMATION AND REORGANIZATION OF

MADHYA PRADESH
PRE 1947
• Prior to Independence, princely states along with the presidencies and provinces of British India together
constituted the notion of Indian subcontinent. Before the partition of India in 1947, princely states (also
known as native states) were 565 in number and they did not form part of British India.
• Instead, they constituted those parts of Indian subcontinent which were not conquered by the British and
hence the British did not have direct control over them.
• By the end of 1949, all the states except Sikkim, had chosen to accede to either India or Pakistan or else had
been captured or annexed.
• Provinces of India or the presidencies of British India were the administrative divisions of British governance
in the subcontinent.
STATUS BEFORE 1956

Area of MP constituted of three different parts as follows:
1. Part A—Central provinces and Berar (present Chhattisgarh, Mahakaushal of MP and Vidharbha of
Maharashtra).
2. Part B—Madhya Bharat (Gwalior region).
3. Part C—Vindhya Pradesh (present Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand) and Bhopal state.
Before independence India was divided into four categories of state including the union
territories.
• Part A—These were the states of former governor of provinces of British India and were nine States
namely—Assam, Bombay, Central Provinces and Berar, Madras, Orissa, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and
West Bengal.
• Part B—These were former princely states and were eight in number—Hyderabad, Jammu and
Kashmir, Madhya Bharat, Mysore, Patiala, Rajasthan, Saurashtra, Travancore—Cochin and East
Punjab States Union.
• Part C—These were 10 states which included both the former chief commissioner’s province and
some princely states such as Ajmer, Bhopal, Bilaspur, Coorg, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur,
Tripura and Vindhya Pradesh.
• Part D—This was a single union territory that is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which was to be
administered by Lieutenant Governor.
THE STATES REORGANIZATION COMMISSION (SRC), 1953

• In December 1953, States Reorganization Commission was set up under the chairmanship of Fazl Ali to
prepare for the creation of new states on linguistic lines.

• Other two members of the commission : H.N. Kunzru and Dr K. M. Panicker.
• Based on the report of this newly appointed Commission the four divisions of states were dissolved and out
of them 14 new states and 6 union territories were created.
• Thus Madhya Pradesh was constituted on 1 November 1956 on the recommendation of States
Reorganization Commission.
• Madhya Pradesh name was given by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
• Madhya Pradesh was having total of 43 districts.
• 1972: Bhopal and Rajnandgaon were created as two new districts.
• 2000 (1st November) : Chhattisgarh was created as 26th state on the map of India with 16 districts of
Madhya Pradesh and three divisions. It was carved out of South Eastern part of Madhya Pradesh.
THE REORGANIZATION OF MADHYA PRADESH ACCORDING TO SRC

New Madhya Pradesh was formed on 1 November 1956.
The following changes were adopted as per the recommendations of States Reorganization
Commission-
1. Part A : Buldhana, Akola, Amravati, Yavatmal, Wardha, Nagpur, Bhandara, Chanda were merged into
Mumbai State (Maharashtra). The remaining of part A became the part of Madhya Pradesh.
2. Bhanpura Tehsil of Mandsaur district rest part was merged with Madhya Pradesh.
3. Sironj Tehsil of Kota district of Rajasthan was included in the Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh.
4. The rest of part B is part of Madhya Pradesh.
5. Part C Vindhya Pradesh was completely merged into the present Madhya Pradesh.
6. Part C Bhopal state also became part of present Madhya Pradesh.
7. Part B Madhya Bharat, Part C Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal were merged into Madhya Pradesh and the
Marathi speaking districts of Nagpur division were transferred to Bombay.
FACTUAL TAKEAWAYS
• On 29 December 1953, the SRC headed by Fazal Ali was constituted. It was on the basis of SRC
recommendation that Madhya Pradesh was formed on 1 November 1956. The newly formed Madhya
Pradesh had 43 districts and nine divisions.
• Bhopal was made the capital which was originally the Tehsil of Sehore district.
• On 26 January 1972, two new districts namely Bhopal and Rajnandgaon were created and thus the total
number of districts increased to 45.
• In the year 1980, two new divisions of Chambal and Bastar were formed taking the number of divisions to
11.
• In the year 1998, 10 new districts were added.
• Again in the year 1998 on the recommendation of MM Singhdev Committee, six more districts were added
thus taking the number to 61 districts and 12 divisions in the year 1998. Total of 16 districts were added in
the year 1998.
• On 31 October 2000, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh with three divisions covering 16
districts.
• Now this bifurcated Madhya Pradesh was left with 45 districts and nine divisions on 1 November 2000. This
was done by 84th Constitutional Amendment Act.
• On 15 August 2003,
o Burhanpur was carved out of Khandwa,
o Anuppur out of Shahdol and
o Ashoknagar out of Guna.
• So in the year 2003 the total number of districts stood at 48.
• On 17 May 2008, new district of Alirajpur carved out of Jhabua and
• on 24 May 2008 Singrauli carved out of Sidhi were created.
• Thus total of 50 districts were present in the year 2008.
• On 15 August 2013, a new district by the name of Agar Malwa was created.
• Latest and last district to be created is Niwari.

CHAPTER 6
ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP OF MADHYA
PRADESH
INTRODUCTION
The Constitution of India has established a Federal polity, by dividing the country into different states
and allocating them certain powers and functions.
The powers and functions of both the central and the state governments have been clearly mentioned
in the Constitution and both are bound to work in their own spheres under the ambit of the
Constitution.
Broadly, the administrative machinery, of the states is quite similar to one another. The governing
structure of the state with special focus on the State of Madhya Pradesh and its government machinery
is discussed below:
Governing machinery of the state of Madhya Pradesh can be divided into:
1. Legislature
2. Executive
3. Judiciary
4. Local self-government
1. LEGISLATURE
• The Constitution has given a Parliamentary form of Government both at the center as well as in the states.
Hence just as we have a President at the center, there is a Governor in each state who is also a
representative of the center in the state.
• As we have a Parliament at the center, there is a legislature in every slate which may be unicameral or
bicameral.
• Governor is the constitutional head of the state and is also part of the state legislature. But he has no real
powers in administration of the state. He is appointed by the President of India and acts as an important
bridge between the Centre and the state government.
• All the executive powers of the state are vested with the Governor and are exercised by him either directly
or through officers subordinate to him in accordance with the constitutional provisions.
State Legislature
• Articles 168 to 212 in part VI of the Constitution deal with the state legislatures.
• Some states have unicameral legislature while others have bicameral legislature.
• The number of seats in the state legislative assembly also vary from state to state.

• Most states have only one house i.e. Legislative Assembly or Vidhan Sabha (lower house). However,
6 out of 29 states also have a second house that is Legislative Council or Vidhan Parishad (Upper House),
in addition to the Vidhan Sabha.
• The 15th Vidhan Sabha of MP will not have a nominated member from the Anglo-Indian community.
The provision to nominate a member of Anglo-Indian member to the House lies scrapped.
• Governor has rejected the proposal of the state government to nominate a member of Anglo-Indian
community to the state assembly because no provision existed for it after January 25, 2020.
• Madhya Pradesh has unicameral legislature that is the Vidhan Sabha which has a total of 230 members
including one Anglo Indian member who is nominated by the Governor of the state.
• The meetings of the Vidhan Sabha are presided over by the Speaker, who is elected from among its
members.
• The working language of the Assembly is “Hindi” in Devanagri Lipi.
• The assembly has the right to make laws and rules of conduct for working of its procedures.
• (Note: Article 169 of the Constitution empowers the Parliament to create the Second Chamber in a state
by law.)
• It the assembly of the state which passes a resolution to that effect by a special majority.
• The 7th Amendment Act of 1956 provided for a Legislative Council in Madhya Pradesh. However, no such
notification has been issued by the President and hence the state of Madhya Pradesh continues to have a
unicameral legislature.

2. EXECUTIVE
GOVERNOR
• All the executive powers of the state are vested with the Governor and is exercised by
him either directly or through officers’ subordinate to him in accordance with the constitutional provisions.

State Secretariat
• The Council of Ministers hold the real powers of the government, but they cannot perform all functions on
their own.
• They need assisting machinery in order to execute the welfare works of the state. Hence, a body of officers known as
the State Secretariat assists them in executing the welfare works and policies.
• Senior officers of the state secretariat are usually IAS officers. In some states, the position of Deputy Secretary is
sometimes held by the state services officers.
The directorates and the departments
• The Executive body of the government is concerned with the formulation of policies while department heads are
responsible for policy implementation.
• The work of the government is generally divided into departments in order to efficiently carry out the
welfare work of the state.

CHIEF SECRETARY
• This Office was introduced in 1799 by Lord Wellesley, the then Governor General of India, but with
time this Office has disappeared from the central government and the highest officer at the center
is the Cabinet Secretary. However, the office of the Chief Secretary continues in the states.
• He is known as the head of the state civil services and is the senior most officer in the state.

Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai High Courts, respectively.)

between two parties and thus reduce the burden of overburdened judiciary. It is cheaper as well as faster way to get
relief for general public.

CHAPTER 9
URBAN LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT IN
MADHYA PRADESH
INTRODUCTION TO URBAN LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT

• The concepts of local self-administration as well as urban local self-government are not new and have
existed since ancient times. The concepts find a prominent place even in Kautilya's Arthashastra.
• However, the existing system of local self-government is generally accepted as a contribution of the colonial
times. The credit specially goes to the British Governor Lord Ripon who made great efforts in the field of
urban local self-administration in Modern India. Although, the Royal Commission 1909 and British Council
Act 1919 also contained some provisions related to urban local self-government.
• However, after independence, no provision was made in our original Constitution regarding urban local self-
government. Owing to sustained efforts in this direction, ultimately 1992 emerged as a breakthrough year
in which 74th Constitutional Amendment Act was passed which came into force on 1st June 1993.
• Thereafter urban administration got constitutional sanction. The Act introduced a new Part I XA in the
Constitution titled 'Municipalities' relating to urban local bodies and covering articles 243 P to 243 ZG. New
Twelfth Schedule was also added to the constitution which contained 18 New Subjects falling under the
jurisdiction of urban local self-governing bodies.
• According to 74th amendment, provision has been made for independent bodies to be set up in all states
to look after urban administration. This amendment gave constitutional status to the municipalities and
brought them under the justifiable part of the constitution. States were put under constitutional obligation
to adopt municipalities as per system enshrined in the constitution.
• The Act provides for constitution of three types of Municipalities:
1. Nagar Panchayats for areas in transition from a rural area to urban area;
2. Municipal Councils for smaller urban areas;
3. Municipal Corporations for larger urban areas.
• It is a prerogative of state government to decide which area would come under which respective category.
The tenure of these Election to these bodies is bodies is 5 years. Its election is conducted by State Election
Commission. The election is conducted by dividing areas into wards. In these bodies as well, provision for
reservation of seats for SC, ST, OEIC and women has been made. The elected urban bodies have been
empowered to carry out functions related to the 18 subjects listed in the 12th schedule of the Constitution.
LOCAL SELF ADMINISTRATION IN MADHYA PRADESH

• Local self-administration in Madhya Pradesh has been in practice since colonial times. Several local self-
administration bodies have been established at some level or the other by means of various Acts and
Amendment Acts passed in the years 1934, 1939, 1941, 1945 and 1947. After Madhya Pradesh state
reorganization in the year 1956, Municipal Corporation Act 1956 was passed and enforced comprising of
442 sections. All the provisions remained in force till 1993.
• Afterwards, when 74th Constitutional Amendment was passed, the Madhya Pradesh Government amended
43 sections of provisions of the previous act and passed a new Amendment Act namely Madhya Pradesh

Municipal Council/ Municipal Corporation Act 1994. It was through this Act of 1994 that the provisions of
74th Constitutional Amendment were enforced in the state.
• Under this act, the Mayor is to be elected through direct voting.
• The mayor, who is the ex-officio chairman of the standing committee, has been made responsible for overall
development and construction works and he is also empowered for removing encroachments.
• Doing away with the system of elder man, the government now includes specialists in administration, but
these specialists do not have any, right to vote. As per the Act, wards will he constituted by the State
Government and minimum number of wards will be 40 and maximum 70.
• As far as possible, wards will have similar population, A municipal corporation having population of I lac or
above will have one Ward Committee in which, in addition to one ward member, two other citizens will also
be included.
• According to this act, the MLAs and MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha arc nominated to take part in the
meetings of Municipal Council/ corporations. Provision for no confidence motion has been provided and
the provision for right to recall has also been provided by the state government. The voters have been given
the right to determine whether the chairman or the Vice Chairman would complete their tenure or not. If
people are not satisfied, they can recall the elected person.
• Thus, the urban local bodies have been entrusted with various works and responsibilities related to urban
development. Suitable amendments have been made from time to time to establish an extensive system at
town level. This has ensured that the ongoing urban development remains simple and effective.
Three levels of local urban bodies under Article 243 Q of the constitution are as follows:
1. Nagar Panchayat: Nagar Panchayat is a transitional area that is to say an area in transition from a rural area
to an urban area.
a. Number of wards-15 Official structure—it consists of elected ward members and directly elected
chairman based on universal adult franchise and indirectly elected Deputy Chairman from among
the counsellors. CMO who is the Chief Municipal Officer is the administrative head of Nagar
Panchayat.
2. Municipality (Nagar Palika) - Nagar Palika is set up in a very small city or a smaller urban area.
a. Number of wards-15 to 40
b. Official structure—like Nagar Panchayat, Nagar Palika also has a politically elected Chairman (who
is directly elected on the basis of universal adult franchise) and a Deputy Chairman. Again, CMO is
the administrative head of Nagar Palika. Counsellors are elected from each ward.
3. Municipal Corporation or Nagar Nigam-Municipal Corporation is for a larger urban area in general having
population above 1 lakh.
a. Number of wards-40 to 70
b. Official Structure—Mayor is the political head of the corporation who is directly elected on the
basis of adult franchise. There is also the post of Chairman in the municipal corporation. A Councillor
is also elected from each ward who looks after the work of that ward.
Note: The members who are elected from the respective wards in all the three urban local bodies are called
Councilors (Parishad). Commissioner is the administrative head of the corporation as well as of Nagar
Palika. He is either IAS or senior Deputy Collector or senior CMO.
