General201397 sections12 chapters

The Ajmer Development Authority Act, 2013 establishes a dedicated regional authority to oversee urban planning, infrastructure creation, and land development in the Ajmer Region, including the cities of Ajmer, Kishangarh, and Pushkar. Applying to local residents, municipal and panchayat bodies, and developers, this law regulates building construction, zoning, land use, and public amenities like water, roads, and parks. It matters because it coordinates regional expansion, replaces fragmented local planning, and empowers a central commission to finance and manage public works projects, ensuring that these rapidly growing urban and rural areas develop in a highly structured, modern, and legally organized manner.
