The first institution of local self-Government was established in :
Answer: A
The first institution of local self-government was established in 1687.
In 1687 the East India Company's directors ordered a corporation for Madras, with a mayor and aldermen, and the Madras Municipal Corporation came into being under that charter in 1688. It is taken as the first institution of local self-government in India, and the oldest municipal body in the country.
The later dates belong to the period after Lord Ripon's resolution of 1882, which is the landmark of representative local self-government but not its first institution, and 1946 is far too late.
