CHAPTER 2

Organization, functions and duties

2.1 Brief History of the Ministry:

2.1.1 The Commission for Additional Sources of Energy (CASE) was

established in 1981 in the Department of Science & Technology on the

lines of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Space Commission to

oversee the development of renewable energy sources in the country. The

Commission comprises of Secretaries of various Ministries under the

chairmanship of Secretary, MNRE and has the following responsibilities:-

• Formulating policies and programmes for the development of new

and renewable sources of energy;

• Coordinating and intensifying research and development activities

in new and renewable sources of energy;

• Ensuring implementation of Government‟s policies in regard to all

matters concerning new and renewable sources of energy.

2.1.2 In 1982, a separate Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources was

created in the Ministry of Energy and entrusted with the charge of

development and deployment of non-conventional energy sources and

CASE was transferred to it. In 1992, DNES became a separate Ministry of

Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES). This Ministry was

rechristened as Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in 2006

2.1.3 MNRE is the nodal Ministry of the Government of India for all matters

relating to new and renewable energy. It is charged with the development

and deployment of new and renewable energy systems and devices in

6

pursuance of the aims of energy security and energy independence.

2.3 The Ministry is headed by a Minister of New and Renewable Energy and

a Secretary to the Government of India being the administrative head of

the Ministry. The Secretary is principal adviser of the Minister on all

matters of policy and administration within his Ministry. Various

2.6. Development Priorities

2.6.1. During the past two decades or so renewable energy deployment

has somewhat outpaced research and development effort.

Consequently, the country remains a net importer of new and

renewable energy products and services. This situation needs to be

reversed on priority in order that the current pace of deployment

cannot only be sustained but also further accelerated in keeping

with the growing demand for energy of an expanding economy.

Furthermore, current deployment has tended more towards

replacement of coal rather than liquid fossil fuel. The priority of the

http://www.cwet.tn.nic.in/

http://www.nire.res.in/

9

country is to develop substitutes for liquid, gaseous and solid fossil

fuels, in that order.

2.7. Development Focus

2.7.1. Development effort will be made in close concert with corporates

(public/domestic owned private) and scientific & technical

institutions in order to make the domestic new and renewable

energy industry globally competitive and a net foreign exchange

earner at least by 2022. Development focus shall be on the

following:-

i) Technology Mapping and Benchmarking;

ii) Identifying Research, Development, Demonstration and

Commercialization (RDDC) needs and facilitate execution of the same;

iii) Standards, specifications and performance parameters of

indigenously

developed products & services to be at par or even excel international

levels and further to facilitate industry in attaining the same;

iv) Aligning costs of new and renewable products and services with

international levels or even lower and further to facilitate industry in

attaining the same;

v) Facilitating industry to obtain appropriate international level quality

assurance accreditation;

vi) Facilitating industry to become internationally competitive and a net

foreign exchange earner through (ii) to (v) above and related

measures; and

vii) Resources Survey, Assessment and Mapping.

10

2.8 Development Concerns

2.8.1 Development effort will be carried out keeping the following key

concerns in view:-

i) RDDC will be product development oriented and carried out with

active participation and involvement of the end user, who is the

consumer or RDDC out put. In formulating RDDC projects, the end

user will play a major role. Further, in laying down objectives and

outputs of RDDC projects, the end user will be actively involved

apart from ensuring his involvement during the entire RDDC

phase, including RDDC output appraisal. Where industry is not the

end user, the end user will be identified and made a part of the

RDDC process, as above;

ii) RDDC projects should invariably result in tangible and quantifiable

outputs, including patents and peer reviewed scientific and technical

papers of merit that are published in reputed journals apart from

product development and its commercialization;

iii) Inter-linkages and inter-dependencies of RDDC activity will need to

be clearly established so as to eventually lead the development of an

integrated system;

iv) RDDC activity in the same broad area will invariably demonstrate

improvement in outputs already obtained; and

v) Technology demonstration of indigenously developed technologies,

including technology validation under India conditions of imported

technologies, processes, materials, components, sub-systems,

products and services. Exemption to this condition could be given in

rare cases where technology demonstration involves dual purpose

and/or strategic technologies that subserve national energy security

concerns. Even in such cases, import will be restricted to critical

components only.

11

2.9. Standards, Specifications & Performance Parameters

2.9.1 The Bureau of Indian Standards would be assisted in reviewing

and updating existing standards as also to develop and notify

standards for new and renewable systems/devices for which

standards have not yet been laid down at par or even higher than

international levels. Guidelines for product specification and

performance parameters will be developed and institutionalized.

2.10. Industry as R&D Partner

2.10.1. Renewable energy technologies are at different stages of

development across the globe. In this connection, partnerships are

being forged elsewhere to develop new and renewable energy

products and services, including fusion technology. Although the

country would have to go through the R&D process mainly on its

own, beneficial international partnerships could be considered on a

case by case basis. Further, as the task becomes even more daunting

and challenging, R&D effort would necessarily have to be highly

focused, output oriented, time-bound and cost-effective. Industry, as

the end user of R&D, will have to be actively involved so that the

output of research and development is gainfully utilized.

Government will support such effort.

12

R& D Committees

1. Committee Composition

10.1 In order to facilitate faster approvals of RDD&D project proposals, it has been

decided to categorize project proposals in terms of their cost and to set up Committees

with different composition for each of the category for appraising and recommending

projects for approval of competent authority.

10.2 For the purpose of appraising and recommending projects of budget up to Rs. one

crore for approval of the competent authority in all areas of renewable energy except

solar energy (solar thermal as well as solar photovoltaics), separate R&D Sectoral Project

Appraisal Committees (RDSPACs) are being set up with the following composition:

technologies, subject experts have a greater role to assist the Ministry in appraisal of the

projects and their early approval. Therefore, to meet the specific requirements of R&DD

projects in the area of solar thermal and solar photovoltaics especially in view of the

challenge of achieving grid parity as announced by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

Mission, it has been decided to have the following composition of the R&D Sectoral

Project Appraisal Committees (RDSPAC) for the purpose of appraising and

recommending R&DD projects of total project cost of up to Rs. five crore in these areas:

2. Procedure and Guidelines

11.1 Members cannot nominate others to take their place on the RD&D/ Project

Appraisal Committees. However, Financial Adviser, MNRE may depute Director

(IFD), MNRE as his representative, in case he is pre- occupied. Meetings of the

RSPACs and RDPACs would be organized by the respective Groups/ Divisions

depending upon the requirements.

11.2 As far as possible, R&D projects should be taken with industry as end-users to

ensure that they are involved right from the conception stage of the project. Such

projects should clearly quantify outputs that should be challenging and bench- marked to

pre-identified aims. In order to make use of the R&D capabilities of the institutions for

expansion of new and renewable energy in the country, core R&D Groups/ Centres

need to be strengthened so as to take up advanced research involving other

institutions and promote new and renewable energy in the country.

11.3 The Group Heads will identify experts in their respective subject areas for

seeking comments on the prospective RD&D projects and will get them endorsed by the

RDPACs.

11.4 Group Heads shall develop RD&D projects in consultation with the concerned

industry/ institution/organizations of civil society including NGOs and may also solicit

proposals through advertisements placed in newspapers and/or on the MNRE website.

The concerned group in MNRE may also involve an expert R&D organization in

evaluating the proposed project so as to generate good quality projects. The revised

format, as given in Annexure, will be used for developing and submitting all new R&DD

projects to the MNRE. The project proposals which have already been received in the

old format will, however, be considered in the same format.

11.5 As and when RD&D proposals are received, the respective Group shall

examine the same to ascertain the relevance of the projects in line with the guidelines of

MNRE. In case, the proposal is not found relevant or deficient in critical information, the

Group will intimate the PI accordingly. In all other cases, the concerned Group would

seek comments/recommendations on the proposal from at least three referees. In each

case, at least 2 referees should support the project. The measure of support should be

considered by a rating of 60% or higher by each of the experts.

48

11.6 For project proposals with overall cost exceeding Rs. 1.0 crore, an Expert

Committee would be deputed to visit the institution proposing the project to have on the

spot assessment of the capabilities and capacity of the project team, and also to have an

assessment of the available technical and administrative set up at the institution. A

presentation would also be made by the PI of the project to the visiting team. The Expert

Committee would submit a report to the Ministry for follow up actions.

11.7 In the cases when major changes/revision are suggested, the comments will

need to be sent to the Principal Investigator for the revision of the proposal

incorporating comments of the experts. The revised proposal shall be sent again to the

same experts for final comments.

11.8 The concerned Committees would consider RD&D project proposals and

would recommend the same to the competent authority.

11.9 Financial assistance for RD&D projects including the technology validation and

demonstration projects that involve partnership with industry/civil society organizations

should normally be restricted to 50% of the project cost. However, for any proposal from

academic institutions, Government/non-profit research organizations and NGOs, Ministry

may provide up to 100% funding. Private academic institutions, especially, engineering

colleges will have to furnish a declaration that they do not levy and collect donations for

admissions from the students at the time of applying for R & D grants. In case the

project is sanctioned by the MNRE and it is subsequently brought to the notice of the

MNRE that the donations are being collected, the grants would be cancelled; the

institutions will be required to refund the grant released with interest and such institutions

will be banned from getting grants from this Ministry. However, such institutions which

get donations can be provided grants up to a maximum 50% of total budget for the

project as applicable for industry.

11.10 The Technology Validation and Demonstration Projects involving industry shall

generally cover the activities taken up after successful completion of a lab scale/ bench

scale work either by industry and/or by lab/ institutions with a view to facilitate field

evaluation and demonstration of the product(s), processes, technology, system-integration

having potential to lead to their commercialization in the country. These projects may

also support technologies sourced from other countries for assessing their suitability and

adaptability under Indian conditions.

11.11 In case there is a request from industry for financial support in excess of the

percentage indicated in Para 11.9 above and up to a maximum of 75% of the project

cost, the same will have to be justified on the basis of expected time horizon for

technological maturity and commercialization and its long-term cost competitiveness.

11.12 Ministry may provide up to 100% financial assistant as core support to R & D

institutions for setting up specialized Centres of Excellence in the area of

renewable energy on the basis of recommendations of RDSPAC/RDPAC as the case may

be.

49

11.13 In order to facilitate procurement of equipment early, upto 50% of the total

assistance minus institutional charges/overheads would be released initially along

with the sanction depending on the requirements of equipment in the project. For

projects where equipment cost exceeds 50% of the project cost, higher initial

release may be considered by the Ministry. The balance assistance minus institutional

charges/Overheads would be sanctioned as per yearly allocation based on achievement

of aims and progress of implementation of the project. The final payment i.e.

institutional charges/ overheads would be released only after successful completion

of the project and review by a Monitoring Committee and on receipt of project

completion report.

11.14 Projects having approved project cost of more than ` 1.0 crore on completion will

be presented to the respective Appraisal Committees. Completed project reports shall

be posted on MNRE website and hard copy will be placed in the Library.

11.15 For all projects that are approved by the Ministry, the concerned Group/

Division shall issue the sanction order and make all releases of financial assistance

as per the policy guidelines. The project grant shall be utilized as per the “general

terms & conditions of the grant for R&D/technology development project” as per

revised Annexure, and the same be enclosed with sanction order for compliance.

Copies of all sanction orders would be endorsed to R&D Policy and Coordination

Division with a view to have consolidation of the information.

11.16 TA/DA as per entitlement and a sitting fee shall be provided to the members of

the RDSPAC/RDPAC at the rate which would be decided as per separate sanction order.

11.17 Policy guidelines will be issued by the R&D Policy and Coordination Group in

the MNRE and the database on all the projects sanctioned by the Ministry will continue

to be dealt by the Group. The Concerned Groups will develop the RD&D project

proposals and process them for their appraisal including organizing meetings of the

Committees and issuing approved minutes etc.

Solar cookers and steam generating systems for cooking,

process heat and other steam applications

Procedure for installation & availing Government subsidy

Following different types of solar cookers/steam generating systems are under

promotion in the country :-

i. Dish solar cooker of size 1.54 sq. m. dia to cook food to 10-12 people and of 4 sq.m. dia to cook food for about 40 people

ii. Indoor solar cooking system with dish of different size to cook food for 50-100 people

iii. Solar steam generating systems to cook food for 250 people and above of any capacity and for process heat and other steam/ high temperature heat applications

A brief information of these cookers/ systems giving their technical, cost and fuel

saving details, list of manufactures/suppliers are available on MNRE website

www.mnre.gov.in. 30% of the cost towards these systems subject to certain benchmark

is available as subsidy from the Ministry. In special category states, higher subsidy of

60% is available to users. To avail this subsidy and get the required system installed for

cooking of food at an institute following procedure need to be adopted.

Beneficiaries interested in installing systems should write to the manufactures/

suppliers indicating their requirement of steam for specified applications, existing

arrangement with fuel consumption for meeting that requirement, shadow free space

available for installing the solar system etc for obtaining the cost and technical details of

proposed solar system. List of manufacturers is available on MNRE website. Based on

the details received, the beneficiaries may identify one of the suppliers and generate

proposal in association with State Nodal Agency of respective State/ Accredited

Manufacturer of MNRE. The proposals generated may then be submitted to MNRE by

State Nodal Agencies / Accredited Manufacturers in the prescribed format and as per

the guidelines given on MNRE website. The proposals will be examined by a committee

Solar Cities

Urbanization and economic development are leading to a

rapid rise in energy demand in urban areas in our country leading to enhanced Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Many cities around the world are setting targets and introducing polices for promoting renewable energy and reducing GHG emissions and the countries like Australia and USA are developing the solar cities.

Several Indian cities and towns are experiencing rapid growth in the peak electricity demand. The local governments and the electricity utilities are finding it difficult to cope with this rapid rise in demand and as a result most of the cities/towns are facing electricity shortages. In this context, the “Development of Solar Cities” programme is designed to support/encourage Urban Local Bodies to prepare a Road Map to guide their cities in becoming „renewable energy cities‟ or „solar cities‟.

The Ministry has already initiated various programmes in the Urban Sector for promoting solar water heating systems in homes, hotels, hostels, hospitals and industry; deployment of SPV systems/devices in urban areas for demonstration and awareness creation; establishment of „Akshya Urja Shops‟; design of Solar Buildings and promoting urban and industrial waste/ biomass to energy projects. The solar city programme aims to consolidate all the efforts of the Ministry in the Urban Sector and address the energy problem of the urban areas in a holistic manner.

2.0 What is a Solar City?

The Solar City aims at minimum 10% reduction in projected demand of

conventional energy at the end of five years, through a combination of

enhancing supply from renewable energy sources in the city and energy

efficiency measures. The basic aim is to motivate the local Governments for

adopting renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency measures.

In a Solar City all types of renewable energy based projects like solar, wind,

biomass, small hydro, waste to energy etc. may be installed alongwith

94

possible energy efficiency measures depending on the need and resource

availability in the city.

3.0 How do you identify a city for developing as Solar City?

The city is identified based on city population, potential and commitment

for adoption of renewable energy and energy conservation in the city

activities, initiatives already taken by City Council/ Administration/ Private

Developers/Industry/General Public in promoting renewable energy and

energy conservation, regulatory measures taken on deployment of

renewable energy technologies and their willingness to provide resources

and sustenance of activities initiated under the program. The cities may

have population between 0.50 lakh to 50 lakh, however, relaxation could

be considered for special category States including North-Eastern States

and hilly States, Islands and Union Territories.

4.0 Number of cities to be developed as Solar Cities

MNRE Programme on “Development of Solar Cities” Guidelines for preparing master plan as per the prescribed format of MNRE

1.0 Background

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched a program on

“Development of Solar Cities” (http://mnes.nic.in/adm-approvals/Scheme-Solar-

cities.pdf ). The program assists Urban Local Governments in:

Preparation of a master plan for increasing energy efficiency and

renewable energy supply in the city

Setting-up institutional arrangements for the implementation of the master

plan.

Awareness generation and capacity building activities.

The program aims at minimum 10% reduction in projected demand of

conventional energy at the end of five years, which can be achieved through a

combination of energy efficiency measures and enhancing supply from

renewable energy sources.

This document provides general methodology for preparing the master plan.

2.0 Methodology

The master plan preparation process is divided into five steps:

1. Preparing energy base-line for year 2008

Energy base-line for the city is a detailed documentation of the existing

energy demand and supply scenario for the city. Among other things, it

consists of sector-wise energy consumption matrix and energy supply-mix

for the base year. The main activities in preparation of the energy base-

line are:

1.1 Sector wise (residential, commercial and institutional, industrial and

municipal) data collection on energy consumption (electricity, petroleum

products, coal, biomass, etc).

a) Residential sector: In the residential (housing) sector electricity is the major

source of energy for lighting and for powering home appliances (air-conditioning,

refrigerators, fans, television, electric geysers, washing machines, water pumps,

http://mnes.nic.in/adm-approvals/Scheme-Solar-cities.pdf

http://mnes.nic.in/adm-approvals/Scheme-Solar-cities.pdf

103

etc.), while, LPG, piped natural gas, kerosene, biomass fuels are used for

cooking.

Potential sources of Data:

Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State Electricity

Regulatory Commission for data on electricity.

Oil marketing companies for data on LPG, natural gas.

PDS /oil marketing company for data on kerosene.

Firewood/biomass sellers for estimation of biomass fuels used for cooking.

b) Commercial and institutional sector: This sector includes all offices, shops,

shopping centers, multiplexes, hotels, restaurants, advertisement bill boards etc

and institutional buildings like hospitals, schools, colleges, hostels, jails,

government offices, etc. The major sources of energy are electricity and LPG. In

addition, a variety of fossil fuels may be used for power back-up e.g. diesel

generators. In some cases, biomass fuels are also used for cooking and water

heating.


Local electricity distribution company/electricity board// State Electricity

Regulatory Commission for data on electricity.

Oil marketing companies for data on LPG, diesel and other petroleum

fuels.

Firewood/ biomass sellesr for estimation of biomass fuels.

BEE data on electricity consumption in commercial buildings.

Local chambers of commerce and industries for data on distribution of

different types of commercial establishments and typical energy

consumption in commercial establishments.

CPWD, MES, State PWD, Municipal Corporation, etc. for data on energy

use in government buildings.

State Pollution Control Boards for data on DG sets.

104

c) Industrial sector: This includes all types of industries falling within

municipal limits. Other than the electricity, other fuels that are used include

petroleum products (diesel, natural gas, naptha, furnace oil, etc), coal, biomass,

etc.


Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State Electricity

Regulatory Commission for data on electricity consumption.

Public sector oil marketing companies for data on petroleum products.

Firewood/ biomass sellers for estimation of biomass fuels.

Local chambers of commerce and industries, District Industry Centre,

MSME Service Institutes for data on distribution of different types of

industries and data on energy use.

State Pollution Control Boards for data on DG sets.

d) Municipal sector: This includes municipal services (water pumping, street

lighting, sewage treatment, etc). Here also the main source of energy would be

electricity.


Sample Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State

Electricity Regulatory Commission for data on electricity consumption.

Municipal Corporation for electricity consumption in its facilities.

Reports on energy audits of municipal services

1.2 surveys for understanding energy use patterns & efficiency of use

Data collection from secondary sources (as described in 1.1 above) may not

provide a complete information on energy consumption. Information on aspects

such as, energy consuming appliances, consumption patterns, consumer

preferences, efficiency of use , etc can be gathered through sample surveys.

Sample surveys may cover aspects such as:

Information on energy appliances/equipments used.

Energy performance indicators or efficiency of utilization

Reliability and cost of energy services/fuel supply

105

Consumption patterns and consumers preferences

Experience with use of renewable energy systems

Design and construction practices for different types of buildings having an

impact on energy consumption

1.3 Preparation of energy baseline report

Based on the collected secondary and primary data, energy baseline would be

prepared for each sector. As far as possible the secondary data should be

collected for at least 5 previous years, which helps in understanding the trends

and help in predict sectoral growth rates.

Good data is essential for energy planning and as the number of sources of data

is large, it is not easy for the consultant to collect all the data in a limited time

period. In order to facilitate data collection, it is advisable that the Municipal

Corporation should organize a meeting (or inception workshop) of all concerned

departments/institutions at the beginning of the project. In such a meeting the

consultant can make a presentation on the data requirements and Municipal

Corporation can identify right agencies that would provide data to the Consultant.

Municipal Corporation and MNRE should also write letters to all concerned

agencies introducing the project, with a request for providing data.

2.0 Demand Forecasting for 2013/2018

This step involves predicting the energy demand for 5 year and 10 year periods.

To estimate the demand, growth in energy use in different sectors needs to be

established. These growth rates are established based on immediate past trends

and future growth plans. Thus, the consultant would have to study various growth

plans which may impact energy use in the city. These include:

City development plans

JNNURM master plan

Electricity infrastructure/utility plans

Industry and business forecasts by local chambers of commerce and

industry

Planning Commission documents

Based on the past time-series data and information on growth plans, growth

rate in energy demand for different sectors can be estimated. These growth

106

rates are used for making future projection of energy demand in each sector

for year 2013 (five year) and 2018 (10 year).

3.0 Sector wise strategies

This step involves carrying out techno-economic feasibility of different renewable

energy and energy efficiency options for each sector and making a priority listing

of the options.

3.1 Renewable Energy

A renewable energy resources assessment should be done to identify the

potential renewable energy sources for the city. This would include assessment

of solar radiation, wind power density and availability, biomass resources and

municipal/industrial wastes.

The next step would be listing of all potential renewable energy technology

options. An indicative list of renewable energy technologies/systems is given

below.

3.1.1 Solar energy

Thermal Systems

i) Solar water heating systems ii) Solar cookers (Box and dish type) iii) Scheffler cookers for indoor cooking iv) Solar steam generating systems v) Solar drying/air heating systems vi) Solar refrigeration and air conditioning plants vii) Solar concentrators for process heat applications

Photovoltaic Systems

viii) Solar lanterns ix) Solar home lighting systems x) Solar generators xi) Street light solar control systems xii) Solar hoardings xiii) Solar street light/garden lights xiv) Solar traffic lights xv) Solar blinkers xvi) Road studs xvii) Solar power packs xviii) Building integrated photovoltaic xix) SPV power plants for decentralization applications

107

xx) Roof top plants for replacing DG gensets xxi) Solar charging stations

3.1.2 Biomass & Waste to Energy Projects

i) Power projects based on Municipal and Urban Waste and also on

industrial waste through combustion/bio-methanation technologies ii) Power projects based on methane available from STPs iii) Bo-mass gasification and co-generation projects in industries iv) Biomass gasifies based crematoriums v) Projects on methane utilization for thermal & electrical applications in

industries

3.1.3 Wind turbines for power generation

3.1.4 Miro-hydel plants

3.1.5 Solar passive architecture in buildings/housing complexes

Major components of solar passive architecture are orientation of building, sun

shades, double glazed windows, smart glazing window overhangs, thermal

storage wall/roof, roof painting, ventilation, evaporative cooling, day lighting, wind

towers, earth air tunneling, construction materials etc. Incorporation of specific

components will depend in which climatic zone the building is being constructed.

A sector-wise techno-economic analysis of potential renewable energy

technologies should be done. Both, decentralized and centralized options should

be considered. The goal will be that renewable energy should be able to reduce

at least 5% of the projected total demand of conventional energy at the end of

five years.

4.0 Energy Efficiency (EE) and Demand side management (DSM)

While renewable energy technologies would provide clean energy, EE and DSM

measures would help in reducing the energy demand. An indicative list of EE and

DSM measures for different sectors is shown below:

Municipal sector

Water pumping: Generally, there is a potential of 15-25% energy savings

in the municipal water pumping systems.

108

Street lighting: Energy savings are possible with efficient lighting and

control systems

Commercial and institutional buildings

Lighting: Use of efficient lighting and control systems

HVAC: Use of efficient HVAC systems

EE in new buildings: Energy savings are possible by following the

guidelines as given in Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC)

Storage: Thermal storage for peak demand reduction

Residential

Lighting: Use of efficient lighting (e.g. CFL and T5) and control systems

Appliances: Use of BEE star rated appliances

EE in new housing: Simple guidelines could be made/building bye-laws

can be amended to achieve energy savings

Industrial

Lighting: Use of efficient lighting and control systems

Energy efficiency in motors, furnaces, boilers, etc.

A sector-wise techno-economic analysis of potential energy efficiency and DSM

measures should be carried out.

5.0 Stakeholders Consultations

Stakeholders‟ consultation is a very important step in master plan preparation.

Two stakeholders‟ consultations are suggested (excluding the inception

workshop) -- one immediately after the analysis of sector-wise strategies; and

one towards the end to discuss the draft master plan. The participants can

include elected representatives, local research and academic institutions,

resident welfare associations, industries and corporate organizations, NGOs,

SNA, etc. Stakeholders committee formed under JNNURM scheme could also

be consulted.

109

6.0 Implementable Project Proposals/DPRs

The Master Plans should contain few good proposals for implementable projects

and few good DPRs that emerged out of interaction with various quarters. These

projects will be called the pilot projects.

7.0 Preparation of master plan

The outline of the master plan document as per MNRE prescribed format is

enclosed as Annexure-I.
