Q. Which among the following is / are parts of Nagar panchayat? Notified Area Committee Town Area Committee District Planning Committee Choose the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Nagar Panchayat, also known as a "town council" or "urban council" in India, is a form of local self-government for urban areas. It is responsible for the administration of smaller towns and cities. Let's break down each of the options you provided:

1. Notified Area Committee (NAC): This is a correct part of Nagar Panchayat. NACs are set up for areas that are in the process of urbanization or have potential for urban development. They primarily focus on providing essential urban services.
2. Town Area Committee (TAC): Town Area Committees are another term for Nagar Panchayats. So, TACs are essentially the same as Nagar Panchayats and are indeed part of it.
3. District Planning Committee (DPC): District Planning Committees, on the other hand, are a different level of government structure. They are responsible for preparing and consolidating district-level plans for overall development, but they are not part of Nagar Panchayats.

So, among the options you provided, the correct ones related to Nagar Panchayats are:

• Notified Area Committee (NAC)
• Town Area Committee (TAC)

The District Planning Committee (DPC) is not a part of Nagar Panchayat but serves a different purpose in the context of district-level planning.
