520			_aInitially, it was the municipal bodies who were the only apparatus to look after towns and cities. Subsequently, town planning departments emerged. Improvement Trusts were also created in many towns. Later, various statutory bodies were set up and municipal functions got eroded. Slowly, a series of para-statal bodies emerged and created a complex web or organizations in the city planning and administration framework. With reference to education delivery, while in the earlier days, institutions were primarily in the government fold, the situation today has changed substantially, with the mushrooming of private sector institutions and universities. Further, to regulate these, the framework has also become complex with various actors viz. the Central government, state governments, UGC, AICTE and the Institute of Town Planners, India. The Government of India has taken a serious view about the town and country planning profession and education and has urged for reforms at various levels so that ultimately, the profession and the future planners could benefit from the same.
