Abstract

India has introduced a third tier of local governance, integrating institutional reforms in local governance with economic reforms. Urban local self-government emerged to manage the heavily populated country, with three types of democratically elected local governance bodies: Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils, and Municipal Committees. Key factors in forming a municipal corporation include a densely populated area, public ability to bear increased taxation, and strong public will.
This study aims to discuss bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software to map data on Municipal Corporations' and their financial performance. Various publications published in national and international journals were examined for a literature review, focusing on the topic of Municipal Corporations' spending in Rajasthan and financial performance. The total number of publications extracted from 1995 to 2023 are 2649. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the financial performance of Municipal Corporations.
