Accordingly, the first delimitation of wards subsequent to the creation of the State Election Commission for Delhi took place in 1993 on the basis of provisional census figures for 1991 (as final figures of the population were not available at that time). No. of seats for scheduled castes was fixed as 25 out of 134, 9 seats out of 25 were allotted to scheduled castes women and 37 seats were allotted to women of the general category. The L.G. Delhi, first notified draft delimitation order and later final order after dealing with objections and suggestions received during the specified period, was issued on 30.12.1993. The powers of the Central Government under sections 3 & 5 of the DMC Act, 1957, for the reservation of wards for specified categories, were delegated to the State Election Commissioner of Delhi. The order for reservation of seats in MCD for the specified categories and specified numbers was issued by the SEC on 23.3.1994 This order was prepared and issued for the initial and 5 successive terms i.e. for 30 years to ensure rotation of reservation of seats for each category at the successive stages of general elections. But this order was challenged in the High Court of Delhi in 1994 and the Hon’ble High Court pronounced its judgment agreeing on reservations for only the first term i.e. for election to be held immediately after the announcement of the judgment. As such, the first general to MCD under the auspices of this Commission took place on 24th February 1997.This layer represents the wards and cantonment boundaries of Delhi along with the following attributes:Town NameWard NameWard CodeAssembly Constituency NameAssembly Constituency NumberTotal PopulationTotal Scheduled Caste PopulationSource: https://sec.delhi.gov.in/delimitation-2022 This web layer is offered by Esri India, for ArcGIS Online subscribers.

For the last several years, NIEPA has been actively involved in strengthening the Educational Management Information System (EMIS) in the country to promote evidence based policy planning and management of school education. The State Report Cards: 2015-16 is based on data received from as many as 1.47 million primary and upper primary schools /sections spread over 701 districts across 36 States and UTs. The publication presents not only state-specific indicators but also brings in many new dimensions of elementary education into focus. It incorporates key indicators on key aspects of universalisation of elementary education in case of all States and UTs. Users can explore the references of use of DISE data.Disclaimer from data provider:Raw data presented in the document or used for calculating indicators are essentially based on data provided by the States and UTs through annual data collection under U-DISE. NIEPA is committed to provide professional and software support to all States and UTs as well as for dissemination and analysis of data as it is provided by the individual States and UTs.In no way, NIEPA is involved in data collection as such and therefore the accuracy and truthfulness of the data rest with the States/UTs.

Cities ranking and mega citiesTokyo is the world’s largest city with an agglomeration of 37 million inhabitants, followed by New Delhi with 29 million, Shanghai with 26 million, and Mexico City and São Paulo, each with around 22 million inhabitants. Today, Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing and Dhaka all have close to 20 million inhabitants. By 2020, Tokyo’s population is projected to begin to decline, while Delhi is projected to continue growing and to become the most populous city in the world around 2028.By 2030, the world is projected to have 43 megacities with more than 10 million inhabitants, most of them in developing regions. However, some of the fastest-growing urban agglomerations are cities with fewer than 1 million inhabitants, many of them located in Asia and Africa. While one in eight people live in 33 megacities worldwide, close to half of the world’s urban dwellers reside in much smaller settlements with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants.About the dataThe 2018 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects is published by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). It has been issued regularly since 1988 with revised estimates and projections of the urban and rural populations for all countries of the world, and of their major urban agglomerations.
