New Delhi, the capital of India, was officially inaugurated in 1931 as the new seat of the British colonial government, replacing Kolkata (Calcutta). Designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, it features grand colonial-era buildings, such as the Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate, alongside bustling markets and modern infrastructure. Today, it serves as India’s political and cultural hub, blending historical landmarks with vibrant urban life.

The **Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)**, established in 1865, is the governing civic body of Mumbai, India, and one of the oldest municipal corporations in the country. Originally formed to manage public health and infrastructure during British rule, it now oversees the city’s administration, including utilities, transportation, and urban planning. As Asia’s richest municipal corporation, BMC plays a crucial role in managing Mumbai’s rapid growth and complex urban challenges.
