1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
Gandevi Nagar Palika, the ULB with a population of 16827 as per census 2011 is implementing
Vision of Housing for All under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). Government of Gujarat,
under the Affordable Housing Mission invited sealed competitive bids and Darashaw and Company
Private Limited has been successfully appointed to prepare Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA)
for Gandevi City.
M/s.Darashaw and Company Private Limited has entered into a contract agreement with the
Secretary (Housing and Nirmal Gujarat), Urban Development and Urban Housing Department on
16th May 2016 for Consultancy Services for Demand Survey and Preparation of Housing for All Plan
of Action (HFAPoA) under PMAY-HFA Scheme for Gandevi City in Gujarat State. The main focus of
this report is to present and discuss the city profile, zone wise slum profile, reasons for formation of
slums, observations of infrastructure assessment and various policies-frameworks which is adopted
by the Gandevi Nagar Palika for slum improvement.
The main objective of the Final Report is to highlight the assessment of the current situation of the
project parameters, as originally envisaged in the Terms of Reference (TOR), after their findings
during the Final phase in which we have proposed final intervention strategies for slums. The report
also suggests the consultants approach and methodology, towards successful completion of the
project.
1.2.1 Introduction
The Honble President of India, in his address to the Joint Session of Parliament on 9th June, 2014
had announced By the time the Nation completes 75 years of its Independence, every family will
have a pucca house with water connection, toilet facilities, 24x7 electricity supply and access.
Honble Prime Minister envisioned Housing for All by 2022 when the nation completes 75 years of its
Independence. In order to achieve this objective, the Central Government has launched a
comprehensive mission, thePradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Housing for All (Urban).
The mission seeks to address the housing requirement of urban poor including slum dwellers
through the following four verticals:
Slum rehabilitation of slum dwellers with the participation of private developers using their
existing land as a resource, (In-Situ Development).
Promotion of Affordable Housing for the weaker section through the Credit Linked Subsidy.
Affordable Housing in partnership with Public and Private Sectors.
Subsidy for Beneficiary-Led Individual House construction /enhancement.
Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) report comprises of all the above mentioned four verticals.
1.2.2 Background
The Ministry of Housing Urban Poverty Alleviation, Government of India has launched the Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) - Housing for All (HFA) by 2022. A comprehensive urban housing scheme
to achieve the objective that by the time the nation completes 75 years of its Independence, every
family will have a pucca house.
The scheme seeks to address the housing requirement of the urban poor including slum dwellers and
will be implemented through four verticals, giving option to beneficiaries and ULBs. A beneficiary
family in this mission will comprise husband, wife, unmarried sons and/or unmarried daughters.
The four verticals of the PMAY-HFA (Urban) as per the guidelines are:
Slum rehabilitation of slum dwellers with participation of private developers using land as a
resource.
Promotion of Affordable Housing for the weaker section through credit linked subsidy.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) will be implemented as a centrally sponsored scheme
except for the component of the Credit Linked Subsidy which will be implemented as a Central Sector
Scheme. The scheme also prescribes certain mandatory reforms for easing up the urban land market
for housing, to make adequate urban land available for affordable housing.
Indias urban population registered a decadal growth of 32 percent rising from 285 million to 377
million between 2001 and 2013. Slum population has been estimated to be 93.06 million in 2011,
which is 26% of the total urban population of India. The total housing shortage at the 12th plan
period has officially been assessed as 18.78 million dwelling units for 78.86 million households,
where 98% of this shortage was in the Low Income and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
segment. 95% of the shortage of housing has been estimated in EWS and LIG sectors.
1.2.4 Slum Situation and Housing Shortage for other Urban Poor in India
Slums are the habitats of the urban poor. The urban poor are generally equated with slum dwellers
as slums exhibit the most visible form of poverty in urban areas. Gandevi Municipal Council is no
exception to this general phenomenon in the urbanization process. Due to a large rural-urban
differential in income and employment opportunities, particularly due to the employment
opportunities in the tourism sector (In historical places), the rural poor are migrating from the
hinterlands of the city and taking refuge either in slums or on city pavements, as they cannot afford
expensive formal housing. The inevitable result of continuous rural-urban migration is either re-
densification of exiting slums or proliferation of new ones- (squatter settlements) primarily on vacant
public land, like, rivers/canals banks, and the like
With the rapid growth of the service sector, the attraction of the cities for diverse and gainful
employment of rural and suburban poor cannot keep pace with the mobilization of resources to
provide land for affordable and serviced housing in appropriate locations for a significant section of
the urban population especially for the urban poor. Hence those excluded from the delivery of
formal housing find alternatives in non-serviced lands, sometimes in marginal, untenable or
environmental risk prone areas which are termed as slums.
Slum formation is an inevitable consequence of urbanization in India and other developing countries.
According to 2001 census, 23.1 per cent of urban population in India lived in slums while the
proportion is higher in large cities. For example, in Mumbai 55 per cent of the population live in
slums and confront acute scarcity of basic amenities required for a healthy living. In the Calcutta
Metropolitan Area in 2001 out of the population of 14 million, about 4.75 million were found to be
slum dwellers, i.e., more than one third of the total population.
About 377million persons or about 31 per cent of Indias population of 1.21 billion lived in urban
area in 2011 spread over 5161 towns. The urban population is likely to grow to about 600 million by
2031. United Nations indicated that by 2030, Indias urban population will grow to 576 million and
constitute 40 per cent of the total populations. In 2011 there were 54 cities with a million plus
population and 495 cities above 100000 population. It is estimated that the number of million plus
cities in India will grow to 75 by 2021. In addition there will be 500 large cities with a population
above 100000 by 2021.
At the slum decadal growth rate of 34%, the slum households are projected to go upto 18 million. 2
million non-slum urban poor households are proposed to be covered under the Mission. Hence, the
total housing shortage envisaged to be addressed through the new mission is 20 million.
The Housing for All Mission will be implemented during 2015-2022 and will provide central
assistance to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and other implementing agencies through States/UTs for:
In-situ Rehabilitation of existing slum dwellers using land as a reource through private
participation.
Credit Linked Subsidy.
Affordable Housing in Partnership.
Subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction/enhancement.
About one-fourth of Indias population is poor i.e., their expenditure on consumption goods is less
than the poverty line benchmark. An analysis of population growth trends between 2001 and 2011
shows that while India grew at an average annual growth rate of 1.6 per cent, urban India grew at 3
per cent, mega cities at 4 per cent, and slum population rose by 5 per cent.
Rapid and unplanned urbanization and simultaneous growth of the urban population in limited living
spaces has a visible impact on the quality of life of the urban population and the urban poor bear the
brunt of this burden. When infrastructure services are lacking slums and other vulnerable
settlements are amongst the worlds most live threatening environments. This calls for immediate
attention to improve the living conditions by providing basic amenities in slums and squatter
settlements.
The model of slum improvement worldwide and also in India has experienced a seachange in
approach with more and more people staying in slums especially in large, metropolitan cities. The
exclusionary slum clearance approach followed in India during the early 50s had been replaced by
the inclusive slum improvement model since 70s. Although slum demolition was carried out in large
cities to accommodate market driven uses, the slum improvement and upgrade has been accepted
as the basic principle in various policy documents published by Govt. of India and subsequent
housing policies and national programmes adopted thereof.
Housing for All (HFA) by 2022 scheme, a comprehensive urban housing scheme to achieve the
objective that by the time the Nation completes 75 years of its Independence, every family will have
a pucca house.
1.3.2 Aim
The aim of this Housing for All Plan of Action scheme is to provide shelter to the individuals who are
homeless. The main focus of this government housing plan will be on the people who belong to
Slums, LIG and EWS categories.
The Housing for All Plan of Action for the city of Gandevi Nagarpalika under the prerogative of
Housing for All (HFA) for the slum dwellers and the urban poor envisages a Housing for All Gandevi
Nagarpalika through a multi-pronged approach focusing on:
1. Bringing existing slums within the formal system and enabling them to avail of the same level of
basic amenities as the rest of the town;
2. Redressing the failures of the formal system that lie behind the creation of slums; and
3. Tackling the shortages of urban land and housing that keep shelter out of reach of the urban poor
and force them to resort to extralegal solutions in a bid to retain their sources of livelihood and
employment.
The broad four principles/categories that are outlined in HFA program are as follows:
Slum rehabilitation of slum dwellers with participation of private developers using land as a
resource.
Promotion of Affordable Housing for the weaker section through the credit linked subsidy.
Affordable Housing in Partnership with Public and Private sectors.
Subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction.
Limitations - The report discusses issues and concerns of the different slum pockets in the city
context in which they lie and understanding of the area of influence spreading in different zones. An
initial assessment has been made of the exiting status considering its profile amongst all slums. The
report also focuses on the fact that the slums need to come up to par with other progressive parts of
city. Basic information has been sought for infrastructure facilities and delivery mechanisms which
are city owned, such as, physical and social infrastructure from different government institutions,
urban local bodies, NGOs and many other stake holders of the proposed projects.
Primary research, secondary research and knowledge of slum pockets/zones was collected for the
study taking due care of validating the authenticity and correctness of the information collected from
different sources. However no pledge, expressed or implied is given as the completeness or accuracy
of information/data/opinions provided by third parties or secondary sources.
The limitation which could be faced during the preparation of Housing for All Plan of Action for
Gandevi City would be:
While conducting surveys in slum pockets, social problems can be encountered by the survey
team due to local opposition, hampering the survey..
Transformation pace is very fast in slums, due to which periodical data updates for accuracy
will be required.
1.4 Planning Process
The preparation of the perspective plan for Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) for the city of
Gandevi, Gujarat involves the following stages.
1. Demand Survey
Figure 1 : Methodolody
1.4.2 Purpose of Inception Report- Housing for All Plan of Action
The broad purpose of this Final Report is set out the Consultants approach to the Project. Included
in the approach is the articulation of the overall requirements of the project related to the
methodology based on city profile, Slum profile, NGO identification and their role, house hold survey
format etc. The Final Report is the blueprint for the life of the project. Central to the report are the
objectives of the project together with the activities that are planned in order to meet those
objectives. The Final Report is prepared after the team members initiated field work on the project
and had discussions and inputs from the draft phase report were taken. It is after the draft phase of
the project work Report can that the Final report has been written since another purpose of the
report is that of reality check and a field presence is necessary for that aspect. It is important for the
contents of the Draft Report be understood and agreed to by Gandevi Nagarpalika and than
incorporated in the Final report. The report will include the importance and socio-economic profile
of Gandevi. This report will also cover exsiting Policies and reforms which Gandevi Nagarpalika is
doing implementation for slum improvement.
2. PRADHAN MANTRI AWAS YOJANA OUTLINE (PMAY)
2 INTRODUCTION & PMAY OUTLINE
Owing to rapid urbanization in and around the town, large influx of the migrants has been observed,
which has resulted in formation of slums. The town presents a wide range of activities in various
Institutional, Commercial and Tourism sectors. Growth in such activities, possibilities of absorption in
various service sectors, scope of employment in trade and business activities, hawking, retailing,
carting etc. could have attracted rural poor to the town.
The Ministry of Housing Urban Poverty Alleviation, Government of India has launched Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) - Housing for All (HFA) by 2022 scheme a comprehensive urban housing
scheme to achieve the objective that by the time the Nation completes 75 years of its Independence,
every family will have a pucca house.
The scheme seeks to address the housing requirement of urban poor including slum dwellers and
will be implemented through four verticals, giving option to beneficiaries & ULBs. A beneficiary
family in this mission will comprise husband, wife, unmarried sons and/or unmarried daughters.
Slum rehabilitation of Slum Dwellers with participation of private developers using land as
a resource
Promotion of Affordable Housing for weaker section through credit linked subsidy
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) will be implemented as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme
except for the component of Credit Linked Subsidy which will be implemented as a Central Sector
Scheme. The scheme also prescribes certain mandatory reforms for easing up the urban land market
for housing, to make adequate urban land available for affordable housing.
2.1.1 Introduction
Pradhan Mantri AwasYojana (PMAY), a path breaking scheme for the slum dwellers and urban poor
envisagesHousing for All through encouraging States and ULBs to tackle the housing problem of
urban poor in a holistic manner.
In pursuance of this vision of Slum free India, Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) was launched in June 2011 in
two phases, the preparatory phase for a period of two years, which ended in January 2015, and
implementation phase. Central Government has approved the implementation phase for the period
of 2015-2022.
Central Government approved RAY on 3rd September 2013 as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS).
RAY is for 2013-2022. It is applicable to All Cities/ UAs of the Country. The selection of Cities is to be
made by State/UTs in consultation with the Centre.
The Mission will be implemented through four verticals giving option to beneficiaries, ULBs and State
Governments. These four verticals are as below:
The HFAPoA is a city level action plan with investment requirements projected and prioritized for
housing requirement and planning for provision of houses for the urban poor for the next 10-15
years. The plan has two parts; Part I- The Curative Strategy includes assessment of present status of
slum, Formulation of Slum Intervention Strategies, and Part-II Preventive Startegy includes Demand
Assessment, Framing Investment requirements & Financing plan estimating and delineating the
development of affordable housing for the urban poor and revision to the existing urban policies to
enable housing for urban poor. While formulating the above two broad strategies, the Housing For
All Plan of Action will take into consideration the present status of slums, the priorities of slum
dwellers, the resources and capabilities of the city in improving the quality of life of the urban poor
and the capacity of the urban poor to be partners in this development process.
The HFAPoA is required so that the slums are prioritized for development and funding based on
methodological assessments. It is also important as it gives the way forward in terms of quantum of
urban poor housing required to meet the future urban poor housing shortage and the corresponding
fund required to prevent slums from forming in future.
The scheme will cover entire urban area consisting of 4041 statutory towns with initial focus on 500
Class I cities in three phases. Credit linked subsidy component of the scheme would be implemented
across the country in all statutory towns right from the beginning.
In the spirit of cooperative federalism, mission will provide flexibility to the States for choosing the
best options amongst four verticals of mission to meet the demand of housing in their states. Process
of project formulation and approval in accordance with the mission Guidelines would be left to the
States so that projects can be formulated, approved and implemented faster
A Housing For All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) is an important instrument for cities to attain the objective
of PMAY. It is a citywide plan of action which consists of two parts, a plan to bring about the
improvement of the existing slums (Curative Strategy) through the participation of the existing slum
dwellers and strategies for prevention of future slum (Preventive Strategy).
The HFAPoA planning exercise will help the city to take a holistic view on housing for the urban poor,
lead to systematic data gathering and analysis for structuring a city wide strategy on urban poor
housing, which could further lead to city level proposals; zone, ward and slum level proposals, as well
as proposals which would help to address structural issues which have constrained the access to
affordable shelter solutions for the urban poor in the city in the past.
Consultants for Gandevi City will undertake a demand survey through suitable means for assessing
the actual demand of housing. While validating demand survey, consultants shall consider possible
temporary migration from rural areas to the city just to take advantage of housing scheme and
exclude such migrants from list of beneficiaries. On the basis of demand survey and other available
data, consultant will prepare Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA). HFAPoA will contain the
demand of housing by eligible beneficiaries in the city along with the interventions selected out of
four verticals. On the basis of HFAPoA, States/Cities will subsequently prepare the Annual
Implementation Plans (AIPs) dividing the task upto 2022 in view of the availability of resources and
priority. For larger cities, HFAPoA and AIPs can be prepared at sub-city (ward/zone etc.) level with the
approval of concerned State/UT Government.
The result of demand survey, draft HFAPoA and draft AIP will be discussed with the local
representatives including MLAs and MPs of that area so that their views are adequately factored in
while finalising the plans and beneficiary list.
Consultants will be able to access the plan of Cities which have already prepared Housing Forl All
Plan of Action (HFAPoA) or any other housing plan with data on housing, and utilise the existing plan
and data for preparing Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA). Houses constructed under various
schemes should be accounted for while preparing HFAPoA & AIP.
The process of Housing for Plan of Action is as below:
2.2 Methodology for Preparation of HFAPoA
Environment building for initiation of Housing for all planning is the first phase as this will help create
awareness among all the Stakeholders. Workshops at various levels- City, zone and slum level to be
conducted along with all prominent stakeholders and local NGOs and CBOs with the motive to
educate people on the aim, objectives, guiding principles and various components and stages of
HFAPOA preparation under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Reconnaissance survey and secondary data
collection like Master Plan, CDP, CSP etc. to be conducted as an integral part of environment building.
a. The environment/orientation for the survey and mission objectives needs to be created by
organising meetings with all concerned stakeholders like elected representatives, Officials, NGOs,
CBOs, Slums etc to explain the objective of the demand survey and Housing for All (Urban) Scheme
Guidelines.
b. The consultant shall give orientation on Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Housing for All
(Urban) Guidelines and survey format for each town. It will also include selected participants from
the ULBs. The major aspects to be covered should include:
b. The advertisement shall mainly focus on demand survey procedure and to convey the
PMAY mission objectives for receiving the applications.
c. The advertisement shall be conducted through local newspaper, flyers & banners, as per
discussion with ULB officials.
d. The strategy for the advertisement & the demand survey shall be formulated in
consultation with ULB officials.
Demand Survey data or Application Forms shall be collected by the agency from minimum 2
locations.
Data Entry of Survey data/Application Forms Details shall be done by the selected bidder as per given
formats of PMAY Guidelines/the client, data compilation and collation of the same.
Survey Documents/Application Forms Details shall be submitted by the selected bidder to ULB with
soft copies of data entering and compilation. The consultant shall assist respective ULB for validating
the data.
Formulation of future supply options & policy reforms for affordable housing & rental
housing
Data analysis:
Based on the demand survey and other relevant data like slum survey data, HFAPoA data,
census 2011 etc, consultant Prepare Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) covering all the
four verticals of PMAY Guidelines.
Identification of different stakeholders for preparing HFAPoA. & Conducting Stakeholder
Workshops and meetings to prepare the ground for beginning the processes and surveys
required under HFAPoA.
Primary data / secondary data like maps, statistics, vacant land details etc collection from
ULBs.
Preparation of a City Profile
Review of Existing Policies and Programmes of GoI/ GoG, related to slum rehabilitation and
affordable housing.
Study of Documents, Maps and Reports related to the Housing and Urban Poverty including
Housing Forl All Plan of Action under RAY, City Development Plans, Statutory Development
Plan, City Sanitation Plan and Detailed Project Report for the Housing and Urban Poverty
which have been prepared, proposed, under implementation projects
Strategy Selection: Selection of four categories for Housing For All Plan of Action. Several
Models will be derived in this manner and the amalgamation of all of them will help us to
achieve a complete Hosuing for All Development Plan. implemented projects for achieving
synergy with the other ongoing projects
Curative Strategy
Categorisation of Slums Based on Tenability Analysis (based on location, land use, land
ownership etc for all slums)
I. Consultant will carry out following viability analysis on tenable slums based on the
data available and other data provided by ULB. Parameters like Location, number of
eligible slum dwellers, area of slum land, Market Potential of Land (Land Value), FAR/
FS, Density etc shall be considered.
II. Based on the above mentioned analysis/data, consultant willl determine financial
and technical viability of in-situSlum redevelopment on PPP basis using land as a
resource for all the Slums.
III. The Financially viable slums (after considering additional FSI/FAR, TDR etc. & other
incentives at States/ULB level) should be identified/suggested for development
under programme vertical of In-situ Slum Redevelopment using land as a resource
and shall be phased for implementation during Mission Period (2015- 2022)
IV. Consultant shall analyse Non-Viable slums and Un-tenable slums if they can be
implemented under any other Verticals of PMAY - HFA scheme or any other states
policy (if any) for such slums.
Preventive Startegy
Demand Assessment:
Analysis of demand survey data for Credit link subsidy, Affordable housing & Beneficiary led
housing components of HFA scheme.
Analysis of Vacant land bank details based on land available or land earmarked for the
implementation of Affordable Housing Project
Analysis of vacant EWS housing stock under various housing scheme for which the
beneficiaries has not yet been identified
Public Consultation:
A key factor in designing the sustainable program of service delivery is to involve the communities in
pre planning, planning, implementing and monitoring the process. Public Consultations and Public
Participation are two effective tools of social interaction. Public consultation is an important tool to
build confidence between the stakeholders and the project formulators to minimize the risk of delay
of project implementation. It also counters the sinister political propaganda, if any, about the project.
It would help the concerned authority to make an assessment of public opinion about the project
and nature and extent of opposition likely to occur during implementation stage. Thus an exhaustive
public consultation process has to be carried out before finalization of HFAPoA for Gandevi Municipal
Council.
This comprise of strategies for prevention of creation of future slums considering the rate of
population growth and Housing Demand & Shortage of the city with a 20 years perspective and
hence earmarking of land in private and public housing projects based on the estimation of housing
and other requirements which may come up in the next 20 years.
2.3 Proposed Methodology for Implementation of HFAPoA
The exercise of HFAPoA will start with a city level stakeholder consultation. For this purpose, the
PMAY cell of the ULB, in this case Gandevi Nagarpalika will coordinate the consultation process.
Outputs:
Establish institutional mechanism and a platform for stakeholders for their effective
participation and involvement in policy decision making, deciding institutions for anchoring
the entire process.
2. Preparing a list of slums (notified & non-notified) and squatter settlements by ward/ zone and
marking their boundaries on the ward/ zone map by physical verification
The research team should go over the boundaries of the slum to mark them on a map, which
can also be a Google map.
To also mark slum/ squatter settlement on the map, that is not available in the list of slums
given by the ULB.
To delete an already developed slum from the list of slums given by the ULB and then start
the process of its de-notification.
Outputs:
Updated list of slums
3. Collecting basic data of each slum/ squatter settlement in the ward/ zone
This data can be collected through either a quick focussed group discussion or using available
data such as biometric survey by the ULB. The data should be on:
Land ownership,
Housing condition.
Outputs:
Table with the above data on each slum in the ward/ zone, to be used for taking decision on
the development option in each slum.
4. Tenability analysis
Here, the efforts must be made to make slums on reserved lands tenable through changes in the
land use.
Semi-Tenable Slums are those slums which are located on land zoned for non-residential uses, land
proposed for public and semi-public uses, industrial land, etc., as prescribed by the Master Plan.
Often land proposed under the Master Plan for specific purposes do not get developed for many
years and in these cases there may be a review of the land use with the following possibilities:
i. Change of present use to residential use
ii. Swapping of land uses for the same area of land in the same zone of the city
Outputs:
List of the slums to be developed in-situ
Decision about lands whose land use could be changed to accommodate in-situ
redevelopment
5. Slum socio-economic survey (as per option chosen by the ULB) (Optional)
This survey should be carried out as per the National Buildings Organization (NBO) format.
But, it is optional and not necessary at this stage. There is a guideline available for
management information system (MIS) and the cities can create their own MIS data system
over time.
Outputs:
6. Integration of spatial data & socio-economic (including bio-metric) information at slum/city level
to create slum MIS (Option)
A detailed Geographic Information System (GIS) and MIS data integration needs to be done
only if detailed Total Station Surveys for GIS and detailed survey as per NBO format have
been carried out.
It is recommended that the HFAPoA begins while the city is putting in place the data system.
Data collected through group discussion can be superimposed on the Google maps created
to take decision about the options for each in-situ redevelopment of slum
This process should be facilitated by a CBO, which is registered and accredited with the ULB.
The criteria to be used for the purpose of deciding redevelopment options of tenable slums
are:
ii. Density,
v. Land values
Outputs:
Development option for each slum acceptable by the current occupants and the ULB.
8. Deciding development options for each untenable slum/ squatter settlement to be rehabilitated
Identification of lands in the same ward/ zone for case of relocating untenable slums
Outputs:
9. Ward-level / Zone-level consultation for the Ward/ Zone-level proposal for all the slums within
the Ward/ Zone
Compilation of development options for each slum & squatter settlement in the ward/ zone.
Ward/ zone level consultation with ward committee members, all elected representative and
slum representatives.
Outputs:
Final approval of the ward/ zone level plan for existing slums.
Selecting slums for Phase I implementation using prioritization criteria, the most important
being willingness of the CBO to participate.
2.3.3 Strategies for addressing housing demand of future low income population
Land parcels reserved for Socially & Economically Weaker Section (SEWS) and Lower Income
Group (LIG) housing in the Ward/Zone in the Master/Development Plan.
25% of land parcels earmarked for EWS and LIG housing in the new private/public plotted
development or new housing.
Vacant public land parcels which can be diverted for the use of EWS/LIG housing.
It should include information on:
Area
Estimating demand for different income groups for ownership housing and rental housing.
Strategy for promoting self-built housing through either sites or services (S&S) or making
only serviced lands available for the new migrants to come and construct their own housing.
Strategy for creating employee housing by employers such as construction firms, industrial
units, etc.
Also, the slum level development proposal / detailed project report (DPR) should be prepared
through community level consultations. In case of large slums, the slum needs to be divided into
smaller pockets identified through community mapping. Consultations at the each of the slum
pockets- beginning with neighborhood groups- need to be undertaken while preparing the DPR.
The approach towards Housing for All is not an isolated exercise. The linkages to overall
infrastructure development in the city as well as a policy restructuring are important for the success
of slum free inclusive cities.
It is seen till date that slum clearance has been a result of top-down decision-making for long.
However, with the government at the Centre taking up a challenge for making Indian cities slum-
free, decisions have to be participatory to be sustainable. Peoples aspirations, paying capacity,
relocation after-care, etc., have to be considered so that new slum locations do not convert back to
slum-like conditions.
In case the slums are located in and around drains and other water bodies. Such locations
are hazardous to health and provision of infrastructure like drainage and sewerage would be
futile.
Again, many slums are located near railway tracks, airport runways, etc., which are not
landmarked for housing. Such cases are ideal for slum relocation.
The Master Plan is the guideline for the land use in cities. If slums are located in areas not
marked for housing in the Master Plan, then their relocation is the best alternative.
Slums locations where provision of infrastructure and basic services is not feasible due to the
geography of the land, like, hilly or marshy areas, have to be relocated to another site. Also
there are cases of slums on public lands where the land owning agency has concrete plans of
using the land for development in the near future.

The number of slum with reference to the ownership of the land on which they are located and since
how long they have been in existence. The categorization based on the land ownership of slums used
for assigning strategies for development priorities for implementation under various strategies for
development in addition to other analysis. All the slums over the age group of more than 20 years,
out of which 100% of the slums are located within the core of the city and all the slums are situated
on State Government Land, Government of Gujarat.
The physical verification of all tenable, semi-tenable and untenable slums is completed with
theinvolvement of community andelected representatives. The finallistings of tenable, semi-tenable
and untenable slums are completed only after the physicalverification as well as cross verification
with the current approved secondary data sources.
Untenable Slums
As per PMAY format, slum pockets in the following locations may be considered as untenable
2. Other drains
3. Railway line
However, slums on other drains may be examined for being included in the categoryof semi tenable
or tenable slums depending on the exact location of the slum and thepossibility of in-situ
development through sustainable engineering solutions.
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Housing For All Plan of Action - Gandevi Nagar Palika
Tenable Slums
All slum pockets located on sites, which are earmarked for non-residential uses as per plan, would be
categorized as semi-tenable. This list of Slums would needfurther analysis and review. Finally, the
semi tenable slums should either becategorized as Tenable or Untenable. Slums on Central
Government Lands also couldbe classified as semi tenable till such time as a decision is taken along
with competentauthorities on whether they should be tenable or untenable as per the overall plan
ofthe respective Central Government Authorities.
The land value of the slums located in the core area and those located in proximity to the
Commercial Landuse zone of the city are the highest while that on the fringe areas is the least. The
Land Value factor helps determine the mode of Proposed Development of a slum.
It has been observed that slums at the core areas have the highest values of land because of their
proximity to the amenities that the city has to offer. The slums which are located at areas adjacent to
the core come next but are less in land value than some of the slums in the fringe areas which are
provided with better facilities. The slums at the fringe areas of the city and lacking amenities are the
one with lowest land values.
In the City of Gandevi the Land values in terms of Jantri lies between 1000 to 4500 Rs per Sq Ft.
Therefore the land rates of the slums can be categorized into High, Medium and Low as compared to
the city land rates.

4.1.3.5 Density
The dwelling unit density of slums are dependent on two major factors, namely, age and location
within the town also plays an important factor as it provides livelihood opportunities to the slum
dwellers. Low density slums are generally located in the fringe areas while the slums with high
population density are those which are either in the city core or in vicinity of industries.

instability. Thus the Tenure analysis will help in Prioritizations of slums as the slums with In-secure
tenure are the most vulnerable ones and require regularization of tenure immediately.

To understand the demand for the housing requirement, demand survey needs to be carried out for
a time period of one month which will require a thorough analysis of collected data. Demand survey
will focus on two target groups:
1) Slums.
2) Urban Poors.
The data required from this survey will help us to analyse the need of the housing and nature of
housing requirement, considering the four components of scheme that is
Slum rehabilitation of Slum Dwellers with participation of private developers using their
existing land as a resource, (In-Situ Development).

A slum is a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and
squalor. While slums differ in size and other characteristics from country to country, most lack
reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement and
other basic services. Slum residences vary from shantyhouses to professionally built dwellings that
because of poor-quality design or construction have deteriorated into slums.
Slums form and grow in many different parts of the world for many different reasons. Some causes
include rapid rural-to-urban migration, economic stagnation and depression, high unemployment,
poverty, informal economy, poor planning, politics, natural disasters and social conflicts. Strategies
tried to reduce and transform slums in different countries, with varying degrees of success, include a
combination of slum removal, slum relocation, slum upgrading, urban planning with city wide
infrastructure development, and public housing projects
4.3.3.2 Before starting the surveys stakeholder meeting was done at local level to brief the people
about the pradhan mantra awas yojna scheme and the project of housing for all. Priority is
given to influential people to attend this meeting as they can spread more awareness about
the project. Total of 20-25 people attended this meeting held at Gandevi nagar palika on
28th June 2016.

The process of demand survey stated from 14th June 2016, where in demand survey forms were
distributed. People were asked to collect the form from civic centres or arogya Kendra, which will
be available at the centres till 45 days that is till 29th July 2016. People will need to collect and
submit forms by the end of the month. A counter is set up at all the civic centres where in two
people will sit for the form distribution and collection and two people will go in the field to distribute
the forms in slums and residential areas.

A. First National Housing Policy in India was formulated in 1988, followed by a new National Housing
Policy in August 1994. Further, in July 1998, another National Housing & Habitat Policy was
announced with some landmark initiatives like involvement of multi-stakeholders, repeal of Urban
Land Ceiling Act, permitting Foreign Direct Investment in housing and real estate sector, etc.
B. However, all these policies were generic and applicable to both rural and urban areas. Taking into
account emerging challenges of required shelter and growth of slums, the first ever urban areas
specific National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy, 2007 was announced in December 2007.
C. The National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy, 2007 has sought to earmark land for EWS/LIG
groups in new housing projects for provision of affordable housing for this segment of the
population.
D. To prevent frauds in loan cases involving multiple lending from different banks/HFCs on the same
immovable property, the Government has facilitated setting up of Central Electronic Registry under
the SARFAESI Act, 2002. This Registry has become operational with effect from March 31, 2011.
E. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), was launched in December
2005 with aim to cover construction of 1.5 m houses for urban poor during the Mission period (2005-
2012). It has two Sub-Missions:
Basic Services for the Urban Poor (BSUP) seeks to provide seven entitlements/ services -
security of tenure, affordable housing, water, sanitation, health, education and social
security in low income segments in the 65 Mission Cities.
The Integrated Housing and Slum Development Program (IHSDP) seeks to provide the above
mentioned 7 entitlements, services in towns/cities other than the Mission Cities.
F. The Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) has been focused on the provision of cash subsidy scheme to rural
BPL families for construction of dwelling units using their own design and technology. The funding
under the Scheme is provided by the Centre and State in the ratio of 75:25 respectively. The Two
Million Housing Programmed, launched in 1998-99 is a loan based Scheme and seeks to facilitate the
construction of 20 lakh additional houses per annum of which 7 lakh are targeted in urban areas and
13 lakh in rural areas.
G. Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP) has sought to enhance affordability
of the urban poor through the provision of an interest subsidy of five per cent per annum on a loan
amount of up to 1 lakh for the economically weaker sections and lower income groups in the urban
areas for acquisition/construction of houses. The Government has also launched a scheme of
Affordable Housing in Partnership with an outlay of 5,000 crore for construction of one million
houses for EWS/LIG/MIG with at least 25 per cent for EWS category. The Scheme aims at partnership
between various agencies/ Government / parastatals / Urban Local Bodies/ developers for realizing
the goal of affordable housing for all.
H. Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) was launched after subsuming the earlier three
schemes for urban poverty alleviation, namely Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY), Urban Basic Services for
the Poor (UBSP), and Prime Ministers Integrated Urban Poverty Eradication Programmed
(PMIUPEP). The key objective of the Scheme was to provide gainful employment to the urban
unemployed or underemployed through the setting up of self-employment ventures or provision of
wage employment.
Gandevi Nagar Palikahas prepared a draft Housing policy for the urban poor. This housing policy for
the urban poor is stressed on the specific issue of "Urban Poor" in city of Gandevi and also in urban
agglomeration. It has tried to completely cover all the aspects related to urban poor especially in the
housing sector: need for housing, shortfall, available land policies, criteria and the problem
identification and solution in this regard. Main objectives of the policy are as under.
1. To know the Socio-economic survey data of the existing slum scenario in the city as
whole and zone wise.
2. To analyze all existing data with socio economic and physical parameter of slums.
3. Frame out the housing policy for urban, urban poor through the rating analysis of
the existing condition with future development and vision for 2020.
4. To prepare an Action plan for slum alleviation project sustainability in terms of Land
and finance.
5. To work out practical and efficient public private partnership models for slum free
cities.
6. The result of poverty alleviation in three categories as per the national draft slum
policy are
Slum upgradation
Slum redevelopment
Slum rehabilitation.
A. Slum Upgradation: This is the strategy for dealing with slums in the city in which the
Gandevi Nagar Palika would provide most of the basic infrastructure in the existing slums, by
upgrading the living environment.
B. Slum Redevelopment: Gandevi Nagar Palika intends to redevelop the slum which is located
on Gandevi Nagar Palika and private land at the same place where they are existing by
recognizing and re-densification. The land belonging to Gandevi Nagar Palika will be
developed by Gandevi Nagar Palika itself and the private plots will be developed by the
concerned party. The balance land after re-organization can be made available with
additional FSI as incentive for better commercial use, and can be made for public-private
partnership.
Unhygienic and dismal squalid environment prevailing in the slums is not only the source of
spreading diseases in the city, but also it is a disgrace for those who live in it. It is also a disgrace for
the authority and road passers, even though slum dwellers are contributors to the city's growth and
prosperity.The poor represent an extremely important element of the urban labour force and
contribute substantially to the total productivity and labour market competitiveness. Gandevi Nagar
Palika has recognized the contribution of the urban poor in helping to contribute to the citys
prosperity and decided to make sufficient provisions for them to have access to affordable land,
house site and services.
Looking to the physical condition and the life of slum dwellers, it is quite essential to upgrade the
slums by providing site and service schemes and ready built housing schemes. Though slum shelters
are being upgraded with all basic infrastructure facilities, the ultimate environment remains as a
typical slum environment.
City without slums is the goal and the objective of the Gandevi Nagar Palika, for which the Slum
Upgradation Department is its special purpose vehicle. Therefore, to reach this goal, it has been
decided to rehabilitate the slums in the EWS housing colonies, which can definitely provide an
hygienic environment and help to get rid of the typical slum environment. The slums so upgraded
will definitely provide a hygienic and aesthetics importance to the city.
FUNCTIONS
The functions of the Gandevi Nagar Palika can be broadly classified into two categories as below:
Slum Upgradation
Gandevi Nagar Palikai has been providing basic infrastructure facilities like water supply, drainages,
roads, street lights, nursery schools etc., since many years. However this activity is mainly carried out
by zones of the Gandevi Nagar Palika.
Slum Rehabilitation
As per this category the slum dwellers and the citizens falling in the EWS category can avail ready
built houses on a different plot of land than the existing slums in a total new hygienic environment.
1. Tenements: Under this scheme Gandevi Nagar Palika could construct tenements and
allottment by inviting open applications from the urban poor at very nominal price.
2. Site and Service Scheme: Gandevi Nagar Palika could start the site and service scheme on
a large scale. The slum pockets located on important public roads as well as on important
public lands required for city development was vacated by shifting the hutments.
3. Built House Approach: Gandevi Nagar Palika can implement several housing projects
under the government's housing schemes for the urban poor. Also, slum dwellers on road
alignment and other such inappropriate locations have been shifted to the houses built
under these housing schemes.
A number of policy and program initiatives undertaken in later years reflect not only a change in
strategy (from clearance to upgrading of slums) but also a wider and deeper understanding of the
problem not only a problem of environmental degradation and physical deprivation but a more
complex socio-economic, political, cultural and human problem to be solved through a range of
responses: education and awareness to motivate individuals; community organization and
mobilization to promote collective and cooperative group action; and planned intervention for
income supplementation and creating conditions for a sustainable change. (see: Planning
Commission Task Force on Housing and Urban Development (1983), Report on Shelter for the Urban
Poor and Slum Improvement, Government of India; our source: Dutta 2002)
The Slum Networking Project (SNP) in Ahmedabad exemplifies this to a significant extent. However, it
may be mentioned that the plan has failed to include the SNP is the citys overall planning scheme.
As such, the implementation of the project is erratic and ad hoc. The criteria for selecting slums for
upgrading, timetables for implementation and sources of finance remain undefined. The AMCs
unwillingness to grant secure tenure for more than 10 years reinforces residents perception of a lack
of commitment by the authorities.
The Ahmedabad Slum Networking Program (SNP) was conceived as a pilot project with four main
stakeholders joining as partners - the slum community, Arvind Mills Ltd, AMC and an NGO called
SAATH. AMC was to act as facilitator while SAATH was to look after community mobilisation and
development. Initially, it was proposed that four slum pockets in different parts of the city should be
involved but for various reasons, three were dropped and only Sanjay Nagar, a small settlement with
a population of 1,200 was chosen as a pilot project. Departing from the conventional approach, the
project concentrated on improvements in basic infrastructure (rather than on housing,) and on the
provision of water supply and toilets on an individual basis. Other aspects of physical development
included internal roads and pavements, storm water drainages, street-lighting, solid waste
management and landscaping. Community development, is the main, focused on setting up
neighborhood and womens groups, youth activities, mobilizing community savings, educational
activities for pre-primary age children and illiterate adults, organizing community health, education,
mother and child care, supporting income-generating activities, and developing linkages with the
finance sector to access finance for small business and trade. The project was launched on August 5,
1996 and completed by April 1997 at a total cost of Rs 2.5 million.
VAMBAY was announced by the Hon'ble Prime Minister during his independence day's speech on
15th August 2001 envisaging the construction of 4 lakh dwelling units annually for the urban poor
and the slum dwellers with the Government of India's subsidy of Rs.1000 crores supplemented by
HUDCO's loan assistance of Rs. 1000 crores. The unit cost has been kept at Rs. 60,000 for mega cities,
Rs. 50,000 for metro cities and Rs. 40,000 for other cities.The VAMBAY Housing Scheme is specially
designed for the families of those who are living in slums and below the poverty line. Type of
Housing:
Due care for dwelling unit planning has been taken. Two types of housing pattern is adopted - Row
Houses and Flats.
3. Salient features: One multi-purpose room, toilet, chawkdi, and an otta (small
backyard). All infra structure facilities like water supply, drainage, electrification,
street lights and roads are provided.
4. Built up area: 20.69smt (Gr.+ 3 storied structure - Total 18/24 flats / bldg)
Unit cost: Rs. 1,05,000 / 85,000
Salient features: One room, cooking space, W.C, bath, and all infrastructure facilities
like water supply, drainages, street lights and roads.

The Mukhya Mantri Housing Scheme has been announced to make the urban area slum free by
providing housing at a reasonable price to the poor, lower and middle income group urban families.
The state aims to involve both public institutions as well as private developers in such projects. For
the fulfillment of this objective, proposal made by the Project Specialist, Affordable Housing Mission
dated 17-08-2013 was under active consideration of the following objectives. The state government
plans to construct 50 lakh houses in the next five years out of which 22 lakh houses are planned in
the urban area. It is hereby resolved that as part of this plan, beneficiaries who fall under EWS/LIG I
and II and MIG I category will get well planned houses with basic civic amenities at an affordable
price.
In the table below the government of Gujarat has mentioned parameters on the basis of income
criteria for affordable housing.

Table 20 : State Parameters for Affordable Housing
Generally Housing Scheme for the ecomonically backward communities shall be carried out by the
Urban Local Bodies and Development Authorities (ULB/UDA/ADA) on public land. Affordable housing
for lower income groups (LIG-I, LIG-II) and medium income groups (MIG-I) shall be constructed
through public private partnership and Gujarat Housing Board. Generally, the ratio of LIG: MIG-I will
be maintained at 65:35. Affordable Housing includes EWS, LIG I, LIG II and MIG I categories.
Affordable housing schemes can be carried out in all areas except in zones declared
restricted by the GDCR.
Affordable housing related GDCR as per the new development plan 2021 by AUDA can be
applicable to all cities of the state except cities which are earthquake prone.
Under affordable housing policy the plots on which affordable categories of EWS/LIG I/LIG II/
MIG II houses are built will be eligble for FSI up to 3. This FSI can be utilized only on plots
where affordable houses are built and can not be transferred to some other place.
The developer is free to undertake any kind of construction on that portion of land which is
other than the land used for affordable housing. On this extra land the developer is eligible
to make commercial construction at 10% of the total construction or as per local GDCR
provision whichever is higher.
The developer can be given exemption from municipal charges only for sub-plots that are
used for construction of EWS/LIG category houses.
The developer is entitled to receive tax benefits announced for such projects by the Central
Government and can be obtained from the authoised department.
Planning Perameters:
Undes this policy carpet area means net usable area of the house and built up area means
carpet area + Walls+ Stairs + Lift + Lobby Passage.
Building with a height of 45 meters on a road width of 18 meters or more and Building of 70
meters height on a road width of 30 meters or more can be permitted.
The empowered officer shall undertake sub plotting of affordable housing land and free sale
housing land separately.
The developer can use the latest technology for construction of houses under this project
provided this technology has been examined, assessed and approved by a state/central
institution authorized for this purpose.
For EWS, LIG I, LIG II and MIG I type houses, every floor of every block should not have more
than 8 units and for this planning not more than two blocks may be joined together.
Provision of internal civic infrastructure within the campus, will be made by the developer.
The developer shall not claim anything more than the amount described in the policy for any
development within the campus.
Internal civic amenities shall include internal roads, footpaths, drinking water connections,
water storage and distribution for the housing scheme, electricity connection, transformer,
internal drainage, compound gate, street lights, garden etc.
It is also desirable that wherever possible energy saving, eco friendly building materials may
be used and water is recycled.
In such projects landscaping and tree plantation should be done according to the climate of
the place. It is desirable that Limda, Jamun, Gul mohar, Garmalo, Kadam, Desi Asopalav,
peepul and Badam are planted.
According to this model affordable housing scheme can be developed by public agency on
Government ULB / ULC Development authorities land and land available with Gujarat
Housing Board.
Implementation agency for this model will be the Urban Local Bodies, Gujarat Housing
Board, Urban development authority and Area Development Authority.
In order to cross subsidize EWS / LIG housing and repair and maintenance (O&M), MIG
housing scheme and commercial development can also be made.
Besides the above, a mixed scheme of affordable houses of EWS / LIG / MIG-I can be
developed with other categories of houses like MIG II and HIG. However, in such mixed
schemes a built up area for affordable houses should be at least 60% of the total built up
area, in addition, the built-up area of EWS / LIG type houses should be at least 35% of the
total built up area or 15% of the total number of houses whichever is higher.
For this model, capital subsidy scheme sanctioned by State and Central Government can be
adjusted against the cost of the house.
The amount recovered from beneficiary in addition to meet construction costs will be
deposited in the housing infrastructure fund for the purpose of providing trunk
infrastructure and basic amenities. For provision of basic amenities, the amount remaining
after construction or actual cost per square meter, whichever is lower can only be recovered.
Free sale development can be started by the developer only after completion of at least 33%
of the affordable housing scheme.
Completion certificate for the affordable housing scheme shall be issued only after giving
possession of affordable houses to beneficiaries.
The developer can prepare a list of beneficiaries as per the parameters laid down in the
policy by the Agency. However the final list of allottees will have to be approved by the
implementation agency.
On allotment of affordable housing, the beneficiary will have to pay 10 % of the total price
(or 50 % of 20 % of the total price as down payment). The remaining amount (10%) can be
paid within 3 months.
Within 3 months after completion the implementation agency will form an association of
beneficiaries for the purpose of operations and maintenance of the Affordable Housing
scheme.
According to this model, a private developer can construct LIG and MIG type houses on land
available with the government/ULB/Urban/area development authority /ULC and Gujarat
Housing Board.
Selection process of a private builder will be done through an open and transparent tender
process.
Tender process should be as per the procurement policy followed by the State Government
vide Government Resolution of industries and mines department dated 18/05/2011 no. SPO-
102008-794-CH.
As per this resolution the n-code solution (division of GNFC) has been appointed as service
provider for e-tendering. E-tender will be published on the website of n-code solution. On
line bids can be submitted and secrecy of the e-tendering process will be maintained. For
publishing of these tenders the instructions described in the above mentioned resolution of
Industries and Mines Department shall be strictly followed.
Developer offering maximum built-up for EWS/LIG-I, LIG-II and MIG-I type affordable houses
will be selected. The remaining built up area can be utilized for free sale by the developer.
For this purpose the bult up area will be as follows:
The implementing agency will authorize payment to the selected developer for construction on
getting quality and progress related certification from the appointed PMC/TPI by beneficiaries'
bank as follows:
The implementing agency for this model will be the Urban Local Bodies (ULB), Gujarat Housing
Board (GHB), Urban Development Authority (UDA) and Area Development Authority (ADA).
Private developer will get land for free sale on transferrable lease of 99 years.
This model aims at incentivizing private developers to develop affordable housing scheme on their
private land.
Implementation Agency
Private developers willing to participate and develop the housing scheme under this policy
can construct EWS, LIG-I / II or MIG-I category houses as per the following criteria.
In ARH zone affordable houses and commercial development can be made as per this policy.
For other residential zone built up area of affordable houses should be at least 60% of the
total area. In addition, the built up area of EWS/LIG type houses should be 15% of total
number of houses or 35% of total built up whichever is higher.
The number of units in each category should be finalized by the implementation agency.
Where the jantri value of private land is Rs. 15,000/- per sq. mtr or less, they can recover up
to parameters of maximum price laid down in this policy in para (1) of affordable house from
the beneficiary.
Where jantri value of private land is more than Rs. 15,000/- per sq. mtr they can recover up
to the following maximum price of affordable houses from the beneficiary as follows. Under
this model the beneficiary can get the benefit of interest subvention.
The Implementing agency for this model will be Urban local bodies (ULB), Gujarat Housing

6. SLUM STRATEGIES
6 SLUM STRATEGIES
Housing For All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) consists of two parts namely: a plan to bring about the
improvement of existing slums through participation of the existing dwellers and strategies for
prevention of future slums.
Slums shall be categorized with parameters such as land ownership, density, tenure, land
value and tenability first. (Chapter 4)
Classifying the slums into Tenable, Semi tenable and Untenable slums based on the
environmental parameters (Chapter 4)
Phasing of Slums in various years taking into consideration deficiency matrix code and factors
like land ownership and ULB Decision.
Developing Preliminary options for both Tenable and Untenable Slums. Relocation of
Untenable Slums and carrying out In Situ Viability Check for Tenable Slums
Based on the spatial analysis and situation assessment done as above, a suitable
development option is arrived for each slum. Checking if unviable, smaller and non feasible
projects can be clubbed in other In Situ projects or can be taken up in some other
components of PMAY.
At each stage of the survey and assessment, local slum communities are consulted in developing the
development options.
Deficiency matrix shall be arrived for all the existing slums. For developing deficiency matrix,
parameters related to Housing, Infrastructure and Vulnerability shall be collected from Socio-
Economic survey details to ascertain most / least vulnerable slums and best / most deficient level of
infrastructure in slums. The parameters considered under each head are listed as below:
All the values arrived for the parameters mentioned above shall be in absolute numbers first and
then converted to percentage of 1 100. After bringing down to the scale of 1 100, scores shall be
assigned in the range of 1-5 using one fifth of the range as benchmark. Here one fifth of the range is
20. Minimum score of 01 shall be assigned for value less than or equal to 20 and maximum score of
05 shall be assigned for value more than 80. Total score for Infrastructure and Vulnerability would be
arrived at by summing up all the related individual parameters score.
Once the total score is calculated, Housing, Infrastructure code and Social Vulnerability code in the
range 1-3 will be arrived using one third of the range as benchmark. Here, one third of the range is
arrived by dividing the difference between maximum and minimum total score by 3.
% Range (0 20) (20 40) (40 60) (60 80) (80 100)
RANK 1 2 3 4 5
Therefore 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. For example if more than 80% of the
houses in a slum are kutcha then it shall get the rank 5 which means worst conditions.
Once Ranks for Housing, Infrastructure and Social Vulnerability is arrived for all the
parameters a sum of totals shall be made separately for Housing, Infrastructure and Social
Deficiency parameters.
This total for Housing and Infrastrcture parameters maximum could be 25 and minimum 5 as
there are 5 parameters.
The Total for Social Vulnerability parameters maximum could be 10 and minimum 2 as there
are 2 parameters.
Both the Totals shall be done separately and depending upon the maximum and minimum
range slums shall be categorized into 1, 2, 3 codes. Combining both Housing, Infrastructure
and Social Parameters shall give us 3 x 3 deficiency codes.
Finally as per the deficiency codes slums shall be phased in particular years.

Formation of slums is not a new phenomenon; it was part of history from the early years of
industrialization. The main reasons for the formation of slums are population growth, rural urban
migration, lack of good governance etc. Some of the more common reasons are identified below:
1. Migration from rural to urban areas 2. Lack of affordable housing 3. Lack of secure tenure 4.
Unemployment 5. Illiteracy 6. Poor Governance 7. Poverty
It can be summarized that the broad reasons for slum formation can be grouped into two main
heads; Population growth and Governance.
Post industrial revolution population growth is mainly attributed to the reducing death rate. The
population growth is observed to be more pronounced in urban areas in comparison to rural areas
due to the phenomenon of migration. Some of the identified reasons for migration from rural and
semi-urban areas to urban areas are as follows:
Low income from agriculture due to lack of fertile pastures and arable land.
Slum formation is attributed to a variety of reasons and failure of governance is one of them. Slums
are usually a result of failed policies, poor governance, inappropriate regulations, unresponsive
financial system and dysfunctional land markets. Apart from all these reasons, lack of political will to
recognize the problem and incorporate appropriate schemes in the action plans is responsible for the
mushrooming of the slums in major cities. The authorities responsible for city governance fail to
recognize consequences of rapid and unplanned urbanization and hence do not incorporate
strategies for slum development and prevention in the developmental and urban planning activities.
Many of the Municipal bodies have not even identified the localities in their cities and towns which
are deprived of basic facilities. The urban development initiatives of ULBs do not focus on the urban
poor and in turn the poor are forced to find their own land for housing through encroachments
leading to creation of slums. Most of the people in these slums are migrants who have moved to
urban areas in search of livelihood and work. Though the authorities focus on the infrastructure, it
may not be a solution for arresting future growth of slums.
Here the estimated demand for Affordable Housing Component is calculated in terms of Land
Requirements and checked if more land area is required to be procured.

Slums shall be developed through in-situ redevelopment. Some slums in Gandevi where people own
the land and have formal property titles or where the government is considering grant of formal
property titles and tenable shall be redeveloped in-situ.
There are four basic factors essential for achieving a substantial increase in supply of Housing. They
are:
Land;
Finance and
The detailed discussion that follows intends to shed some light on each factor.
Land
Supply of Urbanized land to the poor should be given the topmost priority and the State must
intervene to provide equitable access to Land, since the most disastrous feature of Indian
urbanization has been the failure to anticipate the rising demand for urbanized land. It is
recommended for change of the urban land tenure system.
Material and Technology
It is recommended for the use of locally available / produced and cost-effective building materials
and components. Effective participation would certainly reduce the overall housing costs and housing
technology needs to be rationalized and modified for acceleration of housing units production.
Development of appropriate technology and project management would be an important technical
input to housing. Modular design & coordination offers good possibilities to standardization of
materials and components and optimization in design.
Finance
Finance sources need to be finalized as Central Share, State Share, ULB Share, and Beneficiaries
Share. Innovative funding methods, Ministry Guidelines like External Commercial Borrowings (ECB)
options may also be explored.
Legislation and Regulation
The government intervention is necessary to direct and modify the course of housing development in
right direction. One basic strategy is to create the appropriate institutions, both for technical and
financial management to increase the supply. The other basic strategy is to amend, modify or
formulate relevant laws and regulations, where necessary to remove constraints to housing activity.
It is recommended for changes in laws relating to land, laws relating to administration as well as
fiscal laws. Modifications of existing acts may be required for incorporating necessary modifications
in the following areas:
Building Bye-laws,
Municipal Council
Property titles if unclear or not having been mutated shall be formalized. For all households
on lands that are owned by people but lack legal rights, the title shall be formalized.
Formalization of land ownership shall enable to extend legal, and in an equal manner,
services into all such settlements and integrate them within the city.
Pucca houses will be technically supported to connect to formal piped water supplies,
construct toilets linked to sewer lines, septic tanks or cluster septic tanks as the case may be,
build bathing areas and kitchens, link household waste water to disposal systems (surface
and storm water drains) and ensure proper lighting and ventilation. They shall have access to
microfinance for this purpose.
All poor households in the settlements are to be redeveloped and accommodated in the new
housing if vacant land is available with variable subsidy conditioned to their eligibility.
Beneficiaries that meet the criteria shall get access to government subsidies as per city/state
guidelines. For others who may not meet the eligibility criteria but who are also living in
these slums, Govt. shall provide housing without subsidies but with a repayment plan based
on economic resources. Those with higher incomes in these settlements shall get access to
the house without subsidy on hire-purchase basis. Those who may have incomes below the
stipulated amount but lack the required documentation, State Govt. shall provide housing on
hire-purchase basis or rent and with access to low-cost housing finance from formal banks.
Transit Housing shall be created by Government for all families that shall be affected during
the housing development; families whose houses shall be demolished prior to
redevelopment or relocation. Provision for Night Shelter may be made to accommodate the
Shelter less Persons visiting the city for short term duration (in days).
Water Supply
Water supply shall be in-house and through legal connections. Households in all settlements
to be developed through in-situ redevelopment are to be connected to legal water supply
with in-house connections. Water shall be supplied through municipal piped supply
connections where the pipeline supplies are available in the communities. In settlements
where water supply networks pass close by, last-mile connections shall be made to these
networks. Norms for household water supply to these areas shall be as applicable in the rest
of the city.
Decentralized supply systems shall be designed for settlements where networks are missing
or far off and where these are unlikely to reach in the coming years under the PHE network
expansion plans. These shall include connections to natural water body with storage and
treatment systems and small-scale piped networks inside settlements connecting households
to the treated water source. Decentralized systems shall be developed in partnership with
the communities and with community contributions. These may also be developed as
community entrepreneurship models. Water supplied to slums shall be of good and reliable
quality. Besides being potable, it shall have appropriate timings and duration of supply to
ensure all households get regular and dependable supplies. This shall enable people,
especially women, to be more productive. Where water is not potable, communities shall be
encouraged to set up community water kiosks that shall filter the water before supplying to
homes.
Efficient Distribution & Management System to address the problem of loss of pressure &
precious water with Boosting Pump Stations & introduction of Trunk Mains.
Sanitation Services
The overarching goal of the slum sanitation interventions shall be to ensure that natural
environments of slum areas are protected and do not get degraded any further. Such
environmental protection shall benefit both the natural environment and people.
Sanitation services to slums shall be comprehensive and aimed at making Gandevi a healthy
and open defecation free city. These shall include the entire bundle of sanitation services;
toilets, waste water management and solid waste disposal.
Sanitation plans for slums shall be integrated within the Gandevi City Sanitation Plan to
ensure the two activities can be fully synergized and there are resources for developing the
large trunk systems.
In the transition period, it is planned to provide shared or community toilets in these areas.
The toilet type shall depend on peoples choice, the length of likely stay in the existing
Drains in all slums shall be pucca. These shall also have proper gradients and in all cases
linked to outfall points so that waste water can flow out of the community. These shall also
improve cleanliness of these areas. Possibility may be explored to cover the drain as much as
possible. Precast system and other technological innovation shall be explored for cost-
effective, easy construction/maintenance.
All black and grey water from toilets and household chores shall be channelized to flow into
sewage treatment systems where possible or to decentralized/ dedicated systems where
main trunk connections are not available or technically possible. This shall ensure treatment
and recycling of all grey and black water from slums. It shall also ensure no sewage is
discharged into the rivers.
Solid Waste Management
Solid waste collection services shall be extended to all slum and low-income settlements.
This shall include a door-to-door waste collection service operated by the community in
partnership with Gandevi
Municipal Council and local level systems for waste management i.e. recycling, composting
and disposal of non-biodegradable waste.
Solid waste collection, recycling and composting shall be planned as livelihood enterprises to
enable communities to generate incomes from these activities.
Road and street network shall be improved by relaying and reconstruction where needed. All
kutcha and semi pucca roads shall be upgraded to pucca roads in cement concrete or paved
pathways as per PWD norms. The road construction will also include repair/reconstruction of
the approach road and upgrading all in slum streets with appropriate sloping to the side
drains.
Relaying or laying of new road/streets will ensure proper leveling so that plinths of existing
houses do not sink below road levels causing undue hardship to the poor. In relaying such
roads where levels are likely to go higher than houses, dismantling of the old road shall be
essential.
Use of Pre-Cast Concrete for walkways and recyclable materials may be considered.
Transport linkages shall be provided to the nearest possible point. Transport is important for
linking people to their livelihoods and improving their productivity. Transport linkages shall
be planned such that they connect slums and poor people to their livelihoods in the city and
in the industrial areas.
All households in the slums are to get legal power connection with meters. Power
Department to ensure slum areas are covered, get access to power supply at the appropriate
rates with shorter billing cycles that correspond with peoples earning capacities. The
department shall create awareness among residents on cost of power and use of electrical
appliances. The department shall also set up a complaints redressal system where poor
people shall be able to make complaints in case of faulty/fast meters or billing inaccuracies.
Street lights where needed or non-functional shall be provided in the slum settlements.
Peripheral slums or slums away from the main roads shall be provided street lights along the
approach road for safety of commuters at night.
Development of Livelihoods
The livelihood programmes shall be based on the Livelihoods Mission of the Government of
India. It shall also be comprehensive and linked to the citys economy; tourism, plant
nurseries, embroidery etc. to ensure sustainability of incomes. Its particular focus shall be on
promoting livelihoods among the poorest and the usually excluded groups within slum
communities. Livelihoods shall be promoted through a range of solutions; development of
enterprises (micro, small and medium), training in skills for employment with linkages to
formal /regular wage employment, investments in product designs and support to access
markets and manage business enterprises and access to finance for setting up these
livelihoods. Business enterprises could be both conventional such as those promoted under
the NULM programme. Urban Resource Centre may be considered to be constructed to
accommodate various employment generation activities.
Spaces shall be earmarked/ developed for people to undertake income generating activities.
Towards this end, Gandevi Municipal Council shall undertake the following efforts;
Houses shall be designed so that people can work out of homes and shall have spaces for
storage of raw material and finished products, have access to power supply;
Spaces shall be earmarked/ created inside slums for fabricating products such as for
construction activities or composting pits or recycling non degradable material;
Spaces inside slums or nearby shall be earmarked /created for vending such as human skills,
shops, stalls, pavements, local markets, etc. and Spaces for vending activities shall also be
created in the city.
Vending spaces shall not be made permanent, so that new vendors to the city/area also get
an opportunity to vend in officially earmarked spaces.
Possibility may be explored for Urban Forestry & Farming through Community Mobilization
for Income Generating Activities.
Access to Health and Education Services
Health and education services shall be planned and delivered in convergence with the
concerned departments. The department officials shall jointly review the GIS maps to
understand access to municipal schools and health centres and identify service gaps to
improve availability and accessibility to slum dwellers.
At the Ward level, education and health committees shall be set up that shall be responsible
for monitoring service delivery quality.
For promoting social security benefits to the marginalized, such as National Old Age Pension,
Widows Pension, Disability Pension and other benefits, it is essential to map all social
security benefits available to each category, and map the uptake and access in the area. In
such cases, equipping communities with the necessary information and helping them liaise
with the concerned authorities is the best way to proceed. A training of local leaders can be
organized to train them about social security, available benefits and processes involved.
Working as a nominally paid volunteer, the community leader can compile and provide forms
to all such cases and guide those regarding nominations and applications and follow up on
the outcomes.
20-25% Land reservation for EWS & LIG with a system of cross subsidization
The following are some of the immediate steps that the Govt. of Gujarat can take to make
PMAY successful.
Safeguarding the interests of Weaker Sections of society including the physically challenged
and mentally challenged
Revision of bye-laws to make rain water harvesting in buildings and adoption of water
conservation measures.
The critical issues that need to be tackled to realise the objective of increased supply of developed
land and ensure its optimum utilisation are as follows:
Distortions in Land Market: Land market distortions exist mainly because of various problems
which inhibit the supply of land and restrict legal access to land, particularly the poor. Time
consuming, unduly cumbersome, and costly procedures related to land registration and
permission to develop project in numerous delays often extending over several years. Many
a times, the acquisition procedures itself get stalled due to compensation related disputes.
Land Information System: The urban land records system is completely disjointed. No easily
accessible record exists of who owns which piece of property. This complicates the land
transaction process and further distorts the land market. An elaborate land information
system is absolutely essential not only for helping land transaction process and reducing
distortions in the land market but also for achieving optimum utilisation of land. GIS provides
a good opportunity in this direction and Government should take this up as a priority area.
Remote sensing technique can be quite helpful in collection and updating data regarding the
present and the changing land use pattern.
Urban Land Policy: How to increase the supply of developed land and encourage its
conservation are critical concerns related to urban land related policy issue.
Its inadequate
Unsafe
and safety norms for the tenants. To attain the objective of slum free city and housing for all it would
be imperative for the State Government to promote Public Rental Housing which may be made
available to the poor irrespective of their citizenship status thus assuring access to housing and
security of tenure. It is proposed that:
All rental housing may be proposed for short term up to 3 yrs for new migrants who are yet
to establish their identity and the likely tenure of stay in the state and for long term up to 20
years without legal right, on land but right to stay on lease to facilitate financing by banks.
The DUs shall have the minimum specified space, services and quality standards.
It is expected that during 3 years, migrant households would have settled into decent
employments /occupations with regular incomes and should be able to afford their own LIG
or EWS housing. This also ensure housing stock gets revolved to new/poor migrants to the
city and shortage is kept to the minimum without having to do any major addition to the
existing housing stock.
Rents in such housing to be kept affordable for the poor. Government initiative in the rental market would
require establishment for proper procedure and modalities for implementation of the scheme as well as
proper criteria and process for allotment of houses.
Project Implementation
Land acquisition
Construction management
Reforms
Enforcement
The planning, development, construction and post implementation activities will require institutional
reforms, which ensure organizational and functional clarity and coordination among various
stakeholders. The underlying principle for deciding upon an appropriate institutional framework is to
ensure the following:
In order to ensure participation is real and meaningful, communities shall be engaged in the
planning, implementation, monitoring and maintenance of all development activities in their areas.
Community groups mobilized may vary by area /need and could include self-help/savings groups,
enterprise and livelihood groups, water, toilet and sanitation committees, area welfare associations,
construction monitoring committees, etc. Community groups shall also contribute to slum
development through labour, money, time, etc. as per requirement/affordability etc.
Ward Committees
At the ward level, it is required to set up Area Sabha and Ward Committees. These Ward/Area
Committees shall include representation from all groups in the area including representatives of slum
communities, leaders of other neighborhood groups in the area, representatives of commercial
/market associations and members of institutional establishments. Area Committees may also co-opt
professionals from the area with requisite skills in planning, architecture, environmental
improvement, livelihoods promotion, etc. as per need to guide the process of development.
Partnerships and Task Forces
The Govt. shall enter into partnerships with key stakeholders for the successful implementation of
the Plan. These partnerships shall be expanded over the Plan period to include all stakeholders. It is
required to set up Task Forces on Water Supply, SWM, Urban poverty, Local Economic Development,
Sewerage and Drainage, Municipal finance and Taxation, Heritage and tourism, Traffic and
Transportation and Urban governance. These Task Forces will be aimed at bringing together all
concerned local bodies for joint implementation of development plans. Such convergence is not only
efficient but shall ensure that any contradictory policies or rules may be addressed.
The ambit of these Task Forces shall be expanded to include new partners. These shall include
representatives of community based organizations, private sector partners, banking and finance
institutions, etc. The object shall be to ensure greater coherence in policy and implementation. The
Task Forces shall meet on a regular basis to assess progress and discuss key issues and challenges to
implementing the Plan.
Assessment of Financial Capacity
The state govt. shall receive funds to implement the Plan, especially the housing component which is
the most expensive. However, it is expected that this fund shall not be adequate for implementing
the Plan. While many agencies, as part of their annual budgets shall be able to contribute resources
for development of services.
look for alternative sources of financing. The institutional finances require the ULBs to have a robust
fiscal health so that the ability to repay the debts is of high order. Market borrowing is emerging as
another option for mobilizing finances, but the same requires the ULBs to be credit rated by the
rating agencies. Again, for securing a high credit rating, ULBs shall need to demonstrate a sound fiscal
health on sustained basis. Another route of resource mobilization be it for creation/up-gradation of
infrastructure assets or management of infrastructure facilities that is becoming increasingly
relevant in recent years is the paradigm of Public Private Partnership (PPP). Besides mobilizing
financial resources, the PPP also brings in efficiencies in creation/up-gradation and delivery of urban
infrastructure services. Essentially, the project risks are shared between the public sector and private
sector agencies under the PPP arrangement and the extent of sharing risks by each party depends on
the format of PPP adopted. There is a wide range of options for the PPP arrangement and no
particular option can be considered to be appropriate across the board. The suitability of the PPP
option depends on the profile of the project in question and a number of parameters of a project are
taken into account before deciding on the PPP format. At the broad level, there could be three
formats of PPP, namely, Joint Venture (JV) Companies; Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT) or variant
thereof; and Management Contracts.
The route of JV Company is resorted to generally in cases of projects in which the expertise of the
public sector agencies can be leveraged for the projects and/or there is need for exercising controls
over operation of the project owing to its social significance and impacts. In cases of JV Companies,
both the public and private sector entities share financial risks, equally usually. The pricing of the
products or services are determined by the markets.
For urban infrastructure projects, however, the most commonly used route has been found to be the
BOT. The financial risks are generally borne by the private sector entity. One important aspect in this
option is the concessions that are extended to the private sector entities. Generally, the concession
comes in the form of user specific charges payable by the consumers of services. Under this option
of PPP, the assets created get transferred to the public sector agency on expiry of the concession
period without any cost. Nevertheless, the public sector agency bears the social risks as delivery of
services according to preset standard constitutes the mainstay of these kinds of projects.
The variants of BOT like Build & Transfer (BT), Build, Own, Operate & Transfer (BOOT), Build, Operate,
Lease & Transfer (BOLT) and Build, Own & Operate (BOO) are also taken recourse to depending on
the nature of the projects. For commercial/real estate projects generally, the model of BOO is
resorted to and the land involved is transferred to the private sector entity for too long a period. All
financial risks are borne by the private entity and the premium for the land is paid upfront to the
public sector agency.
It needs to be appreciated that private sector entities should not come forward to invest in
development of public projects without being assured of modest financial returns on investment.
While in the commercial/real estate projects, the returns are easier to come by and the private
entities are used to doing these kinds of projects even on their own, for the infrastructure projects
the returns on investment shall come through the concessions extended. It is therefore imperative
to design the concession structure judiciously such that there is a balance between the affordability
of the public and the rate of financial return. In case no concession can be made available, the option
of annuity payment by the public agency to the private entity may be explored.
The foremost important aspect of PPP once it is decided to take up any project on PPP mode is the
selection of private partner. In fact, there is likely to be more than one private party who may be
interested to partner with public sector agency for any project. It is thus imperative to adopt a
transparent and competitive means for selection of the private partner. Transparency can be
achieved by laying down the conditions of bids in details to the extent possible, especially in relation
to eligibility and bid evaluation and competitiveness can be realized by inviting bids through
insertions in various media.
There is immense scope for enlisting private sector participation in the PMAY initiatives as by doing
this not only private sector efficiency can be invoked but also some revenue surplus generated such
that the same can be leveraged to sustain the benefits of the project by the slum dwellers after the
redevelopment. A part of the capital finances can also be secured through PPP initiative under PMAY.
Wherever the slums are found to be occupying prime land within city, it is obvious that the economic
potential of the land is not exploited. Again, the slums are generally found to be horizontally spread
over large chunk of land. In case, by adopting a consultative process involving the slum dwellers by
taking help of NGOs/CBOs etc., the consent of slum dwellers for either moving to another site or
resettlement at the existing site on multi-storied buildings can be obtained, certain portion of the
prime land can be carved out where on commercial exploitation may be resorted to. In this type of
cases, the private sector entities can be attracted to participate. As already mentioned, any revenue
surplus that the public bodies like GHB and Gandevi Municipal Council could be able to generate, the
same could be used as corpus for the slum community for using the same in maintenance of their
buildings and infrastructure. As the redevelopment schemes shall be somewhat homogeneous, a
panel of private sector entities can be formed on the basis of their capabilities both technical and
financial. Whenever a slum redevelopment project under PMAY shall be considered to be taken on
PPP mode, competitive bids can be invited from amongst the empanelled entities by limited
circulation. This would save on time. Nevertheless, the bidding platform shall need to be judiciously
designed.
For PPP initiatives under PMAY, the option of JV Company may also be explored, as in this case, the
public sector agency shall be able to effectively ensure fulfillment of the objectives of PMAY and the
slum beneficiaries shall feel more comfortable with the PPP initiatives.
Funds can also be raised from the private sector for implementation of slum upgrading. The scope for
private sector engagement in Gandevi is considerable because of its commercial importance and
other business potential. This forms transit between Gandevi and Junagadh. This has begun to
change of late. However, because of restriction on land transfer policy and providing right only to
Gujaratese, private sector organizations are reluctant to be business partners. But involvement of
private partners in development might lead to considerable improvement in the citys infrastructure
and services.
Physical progress reports showing details of work being done on each site, for each
activity/component
Financial progress reports that shows corresponding expenditure for each of the activity
A consolidated monthly physical and financial progress status report along with supported document
will require to be submitted to the Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) established at Nagarpalika and at
state level.
Regular staff meetings to share experiences from trainings/ ground and to brainstorm on
possible /innovative solutions;
Special sessions of staff with experts to discuss technical problems and solutions;
Documentation of success stories and field pilots and sharing these with the staff.
NGO staff shall also need regular orientation. The Lead NGO shall ensure that its staff shall attend at
regular intervals training programmes, organized by the Government, other agencies and in-house.
They shall also ensure that their staffs participate in various workshops and seminars to improve
their understanding of issues and for replicating new and innovative solutions.
Government Stakeholders
Slum development issues cut across various sectors and departments not all of which are mandated
to work for the poor or whose staffs have an understanding of the critical issues in slum upgrading.
The annual capacity building programme developed by designated State Agency shall on a quarterly
basis, bring together all stakeholders for discussions and brainstorming.
Finance and Administrative Staff
Capacity building is critical for staff from the finance and administrative departments to ensure that
the existing systems and procedures are in sync with the flexible approaches being proposed under
the Plan. Interaction with these officials is also important to understand the viability of some of the
proposed solutions. State Designated Agency shall organise regular meetings with finance and admin
officers to brainstorm on implementation challenges.
Other Actors
Apart from the approach and strategy described above, new stakeholders under the capacity
building plan shall include the;
These are important stakeholders in future slum prevention. The new actors shall be sensitized to the
conditions of the poor and their role in creating new housing for the poor. This shall create a sense of
ownership and partnership among the partners.

Based on the slum survey and demand survey, housing requirement of Gandevi city is calculated
for EWS and LIG people.Nine slums were identified for the project out of which two are in untenable
condition.Intervention stretegies for each slum have been selected from the four verticals of PMAY. A
draft report is prepared and submiited to the Nagarpalika with annual implementation plan of the
project.Stakeholder meeting has been conducted at Gandevi Nagarpalika on 31.01.2017. The
scrutination of data had been carried out during the stakeholder meeting.The major two suggestions
from stakeholders were,
Change intervention strategy of Mankla faliya slum from In-situ redevelopment with
private participation to beneficiary led construction.
Consider the entire slums with BLC intervention strategy in the first year of
implementation (2017-18).
Based on the suggestions, intervention strategies and year of intervention modified, the final
intervention strategies and year of interventions for each slum are as follows;
