\nLocal bodies first formed in British India between 1864-1868 were typically presided by the District Magistrates.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIn the early stages of municipal administration development in British India during the mid-19th century, before the reforms of Lord Mayo (1870) and Lord Ripon (1882), these local bodies were largely under the control of government officials, and the District Magistrate often served as their ex-officio president.
\n<\/section>\n
\nLord Ripon’s Resolution of 1882 significantly advanced local self-government by recommending the establishment of elected non-official majorities and the appointment of non-officials as chairmen where possible, shifting control away from government officials. However, the period 1864-1868 predates these major reforms.
