                      Since 2005 a group of individuals consisting of the  then Mayor of Bhubaneswar, Executive Director of City Managers’ Association  Orissa and one communication specialist realized the importance of professional  institutions in emerging urban management. However, instead of building an  institution they continued supporting local governments through various  informal forums. In 2009, these individuals with encouragement &  inspiration from present Mayor of Bhubaneswar founded Local Governance Network  for the purpose of supporting state, national and international government  efforts towards local governments.
