Complete answer: Local bodies are institutions of the local self-governments, which look after the administration of an area or small community such as villages, towns, or cities. in India, these bodies are categorized into 2 major categories which are: The local bodies constituted for local planning, development, and administration in the rural areas referred to as Rural Local Bodies (Panchayats), and the local bodies, which are constituted for local planning, development, and administration in the urban areas are referred to as Urban Local Bodies (Municipalities). in the constitution of India in the seventh schedule list II and item number 5 local government is a state subject. Article 243 G of the Constitution puts up the basic principle for devolution of power to the Local Bodies. In the nation's journey towards becoming an economic power, local bodies play an important part in enabling infrastructure available to the citizens.
