Serves areas transitioning from rural to urban. Elected members manage semi-urban issues: partial water supply, basic sanitation, and local roads. Their role is crucial where rapid urbanization occurs, but full municipal mechanisms are not yet developed. The chairperson leads the council, aided by state-appointed executive officers. The 74th Amendment mandates that Nagar Panchayats receive appropriate powers and finances for local development. They bridge the gap between Panchayati Raj institutions and municipal councils, ensuring that newly urbanizing populations get essential services. Over time, a Nagar Panchayat might upgrade to a full Municipal Council as the area’s population and infrastructure expand.
