With reference to the functional items placed within the purview of municipalities, consider the following.
(i) Regulation of slaughter houses and tanneries
(ii) Safeguarding the interests of weaker sections of society
(iii) Small-scale industries, including food processing industries
(iv) Technical training and vocational education.
Which of the above is/are correct statements?
Answer: D
Items (i) and (ii) are among the functions of municipalities listed in the Twelfth Schedule: regulation of slaughter houses and tanneries and safeguarding the interests of weaker sections of society.
Small-scale industries including food processing industries and technical training and vocational education are items of the Eleventh Schedule, which lists the functions of Panchayats. So (i) and (ii) are correct, option D.
The Twelfth Schedule, added by the 74th Amendment, lists eighteen functions of the municipalities and Article 243W allows the state legislature to devolve them.
