Prior to the formation of Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation on March 16, 2010, following the 2009 judgment of the Gujarat High Court, the city was the only notified area capital of any state in the country, where the city was not governed by any elected body. But after the formation of the corporation, taxes were made for the residents by the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation. As a result of which the inclusion of the city in the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission made it possible to receive development funding from the Government of India and now the city is leading the way in providing excellent civic services and various infrastructural facilities.
