Abstract :
‘Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. This most widely accepted definition of Sustainable Development was given by the Brundtland Commission in its report Our Common Future (1987). Sustainable development is focused on efforts towards building an inclusive, sustainable and flexible future for people and the earth. Cities are the drivers of local economic growth and must adopt a dynamic approach towards the evolving ecosystem for inclusive development. The local government must provide for better infrastructure, health, hygiene, housing, education and employment. This would help in efficient utilization of available resources and reduce the overheads in service delivery. For Sustainable Local Economic Development at Municipal level, it is important to build on inter-departmental synergies and pooling of resources including interlinking the budgetary provisions. The paper is discussing about framework of the Ease of Service Delivery in Municipal Corporation which helps in Sustainable Local Economic Development.
