In urban planning in India, a notified area is any land area earmarked by legal provision for future development. The term is so used in the Hindi belt region of North India. In Karnataka in South India the form is used for industrial areas where municipal services are required to be provided. As of February 2013, there were four Notified Area Committees (NAC) in Karnataka state.
In some Indian states the term is used to describe a village or settlement with a population between 10,000 and 20,000, in others those are called "town panchayats" as opposed to "gram panchayats" for administrative villages. A community of over 20,000 is considered a town under Indian law and is entitled to a municipal council.

Famous quotes containing the words notified and/or area:
“A gorgeous example of denial is the story about the little girl who was notified that a baby brother or sister was on the way. She listened in thoughtful silence, then raised her gaze from her mother’s belly to her eyes and said, “Yes, but who will be the new baby’s mommy?””
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
