PREFACE

The Social Infrastructure Report is written under the case study of Nizamuddin Basti from

Urban Design context. The report covers, under its different chapters, various elements of

social infrastructure. The first chapter discusses how the social infrastructure of the basti

evolved over time under the influence of Inayat Khan. Subsequent chapters explain the present

condition of Nizamuddin Basti with reference to social infrastructure elements, like Education,

health, religious, commercial and other amenities. Different maps and photographs have been

added to the report to further clarify the position of the facilities. After the detailed case study

new design interventions are proposed with due respect to basti requirement and approach.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of our group was to identify the quality and quantity of social infrastructure in

Basti. How social structures are contributing in their lives what are their approach and how

people perceive religious structures, heritage monuments and what are availability of otherfacilities like milk booth , bank , ATM, public convenience, school womens status etc.

Some major objectives were:

Primary and secondary school

Handicapped facility

Hospitals

Polyclinic or medical facility

Bank / ATM

Milk booth

Community centre

Women empowerment

Chid development

Recreational spaces

Commercial facility

THE RESEARCH PROCESS:

Nizamuddin Basti settlement is since 13 14 the century and some areas are still in process

hence there is lots of variation in social and commercial life of habitants there is no particularity

hence to get the soul and basics of basti life, to understand their needs and their activities, to

know their perception and expectations towards life we planned to visit basti several times on

different day at different times.

We made several Visits on different days like on Monday, Friday which is Jumma day so

difference in crowd and commercial movement can be seen and on Sunday, growth in tourism

matrix could be analyzed and most of them are locals.

First visit was kind of introduction of Nizamuddin Basti for us. It was totally new place with a

new environment different from Delhis rushing life, traffic and life style. Street life is most

active part in comparison to parks and other social gathering spaces. First time we couldnt

reach to many of the heritage sites like Atgah Khan Tomb, Kalan mosque because of the street

pattern and the narrow galis as one cant identify all the routes in one visit and also we were

habitual of defined wide street pattern. It was only a strange visit with new understanding and

that also of architecture; the social life was yet to understand.

On next visit we realized a familiar environment. This time it was easy to understand streetpattern, direction, structures and their importance. We notice the pattern of residences, like

lower parts were commercial and upper part was for residence similarly Dargah Street was

commercialized by garlands shop, Biryani, chadar, and other religious materials. Some streets

are particularly known for one material like biryani gali. Atar vali gali etc. Dargah is very

prominent part for Basti people, their all infrastructure, emotions and security are bonded with

it.

On one of visit we went for Heritage walk, Mr. Danish, Aga Khan Volunteer guided us. It was

very helpful and was rich with knowledge that helps us in understanding Basti and peoples life

their thinking and culture. A well guided trip rich with History, culture and even architecture too

that was unexpected.

On the basis of all our visits, and Library work we framed out our social structure of Basti. The

existing structure , their condition , position , usage and fulfilment. On the basis of all

parameters we have developed this report that comprises of case study and design proposals.

Social infrastructure has been categorised in different sub- parts to understand the condition of

individual parts in better way.

A CONVERSATION WITH BASTI WHILE SURVEYING SOCIAL

INFRASTRUCTURE OF BASTI

Are you satisfied with present condition of Basti.

Yes we are absolutely comfortable and its ok

Where do you educate your child?

Younger child go to MCD School but up to primary level only then we send them to

senior secondary school in Jangpura and Bhogal.

How many times you visit polyclinic and is it sufficient?

We hardly go to that polyclinic as it does not support good environment especially for

women and girls, so we go to nearby Jangpura hospital or AIMS.

From where do women or girl shop for their their stuff?

There is weekly market at Alvi Chowk which is mainly of girls material so they go there.

Does this Public convenience (Kalan Mosque) is required.

No we dont want this in front of our house and mosque .Also this is no more in use ,

getting us as dustbin so we have written a application to MCD also for reconstruction of

this place.

Is there any organization working for women welfare?

Hope foundation is only source of empowerment and that are running multiple taskslike embroidery, art work, etc. There is INSHA craft centre also.

How many Libraries are there in Basti?

There are three Libraries one by Hope foundation, one of Ghalib Library and last one at

Rain Basera.

2.1.1 SOCIAL EVOLUTION OF BASTIIn 1328, Hzrat Nizamuddin Auliya came to

Ghiyaspur village to settle down and to spreadIslam, peace and wisdom. At that time, Village

was not having any social or economical form it

was only land and land till the point eye can see.

Due to Hzrat Nizamuddin Auliya, civilization was

improving but the major changes came after his

death and India Pak partition.

After his death, the village started converting

into graveyard because the Pirzade or Mureed of

Hzt. Nizamuddin spent their lives in the village and they allwanted to get buried, after their death, near Nizamuddin

grave. Hence, by the decades, the village became mixed of

residential and graveyards.

Second major transformation for social and cultural

development was partition. Many people from Pakistan Uttar

Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal migrated to Ghiyaspur village. There

was sudden improvement in scale of migration, residential, and

in other social aspects. Improvement in

commercialism came as it was Need for

survival.

Hazrat Inayat Khan ( ) (July 5, 1882 February 5, 1927) was an

exemplar of Universal Sufism. He was the great Mureed of Nizamuddin

and spent his life in following Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. He also founded

the "Sufi Order in the West" in 1914 (London).

He played a great role in civilization of Nizamuddin Basti. He owned 60%

of land and distributed them to refugee or other people at very cheaper

rate to spread the Islamic culture and influence of Nizamuddin Auliya.

A good quantity of visitors comes every day nationally and internationally.

Most of the visitors who come from India generally they belong to Delhi, Ajmer, Uttar Pradesh,

J&K and Bihar.

As Humayun tomb and Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti both are heritage site and very close in

proximity. Both are historically important and have national and international tourism.

Nizamuddin Basti is also surrounded by many important sites like sunder nursery, Khushro park

and scout campus.

2.1.2 PRESENT CONDITION:After death of Hazrat Inayat Khan, his son is taking responsibilities of Basti to improve socio-

economic condition of community. Various tasks like child education, women empowerment,

cultural improvement and conservation and many other programmes are run by HOPE

foundation to improve the existing socioeconomic conditions of Basti. Many volunteers fromBasti have been appointed to work.

Presently, there are several people in the local community with no access to basic education,

health and sanitation infrastructure and employment opportunities. The quality of life for local

communities needs to be improved, a significant ecological built heritage resource for the

people of Delhi needs to be created, and visitor experience must be enhanced for the millions

who visit the World Heritage Site of Humayuns Tomb.

2.1.2.1 Tasks to work upon:Various tasks on which action needs to be taken by Aga Khan Trust and Hope foundation for

urban improvemnets are:

Water point imrovements

Soild waste mangement

Community toilet complexes

Street improvement

Environmental awareness

Redevlopment of nallah

Housing improvemnts

For conserving the heritage, social and cultural values of Nizamuddin Basti, some tasks have

been started to establish heritage awareness programmes with the children and youth in Basti.

Awareness is needed on the cultural (built and intangible) heritage of the Basti and surrounding

areas among the children and youth of the Basti.

2.1.2.2 1Actions being taken:The target group of this programme is in addition to the programmes conducted at the MCD

School as part of the project activities.

Over a 100 children from the basti are participating in theprogramme with a kids club Formed with 30 core members

for regular workshops.

2.1.3 EDUCATIONAL FACILITIESAs Nizamuddin basti habitants are poverty ridden or around

middle class family. Hence rate of income is reflected in their

social life also. A demographic study is done to analyse the

literacy rate of basti.

According to this table, the requirement is quite more than

availability. Survey shows that the male- female ratio in

Nizamuddin Basti, i.e.946 females every 1000 males, is higher

than that of the country, i.e.933 females every 1000 males and

still women are deprived of education here. This marks a

negative point in women welfare. If literacy rate is compared

then, there is big difference and that is because of its social

environment. Being an Islamic and low income community there is strong dominance ofconservative thoughts specially related to girl child. They are still treated as they were century

before. Girls after 13 year are generally married or they are forced to marry. Most of the girls

are not sent to school after 5th class because of sense of insecurity in parents and this can be

due to not availability of school in nearby area or else school at distant are not followed by

secure path, generally crowded by beggars, tourist and male population.

changes needs to be created here. Accessible and improved health care for women and

An assessment was conducted in March 2008 during which a total of 274 interviews were conducted

with the patients using the nearest available health facilities.

For general health ailments, the health facilities covered included the Government Health Centre

(MCD Polyclinic) (Basti Nizamuddin)-48% exist interviews, Maternal & Children Welfare Centre (MCW)

and Polyclinic (33 % sample) and private practitioners including MBBS doctors and Registered Medical

Practitioners (20 % sample). For antenatal and post natal care, a total of 61 beneficiaries were covered

at the Maternal & Children Welfare Centre, Bhogal.

For covering child immunization, exit interviews were carried out amongst 54 children who attended

the immunization clinic at the MCW centre Bhogal, or in the Basti.

The indicators and tools for benchmarking indicators on Maternal and Child Health have been

finalised. The proposed benchmarking entails an intense and elaborate survey with the target group

being pregnant women and mothers with children in the age group of 0-24 months.

2.1.5 RELIGIOUS STRUCTURENizamuddin Basti is rich with religious buildings. As this places origination or civilization is

influenced by religious believes only, hence at intervals you can see monuments, Dargah,

graves or mosques.

Basti have some major social structure which is affecting the community socially, culturally andcommercially also. There is no. of shops which are selling religious material mainly; hence here

social buildings are source of living also.

Mazar-e-Ghalib and Urs Mahal are some social nodes where events like Qawwali and other

gatherings take place.

During Moharram and Urs a zest in life

can be analyze in Basti. During these

days there are some specialprocessional movements. They are

performed at different time. But all

these movement when we overlapped

them we get some junction point

which need to be analyze. Hence some

provisions, better streets and

pedestrian facility at those points need

to be incorporated in design so that

people apart from movement do not

suffer or get jammed.

2.1.6.3 PUBLIC CONVENIENCE FACILITY SURVEYThe SES has revealed that over 25% of families in the Basti do not have a personal toilet. Additionally the

Basti attracts thousands of pilgrims with the number exceeding 100,000 on festival days.

An additional 30-seater Community Toilet Complex will be built in 2011. Initially the MCD was to carry

out the construction works on this building however with the separation of the Slum wing of the MCD as

a separate Shelter Board under Delhi Government this was no longer possible and AKTC will be now

implementing the construction works.

The existing toilet complex will be upgraded in order to increase the number of toilet seats and

bathing and washing spaces in the toilet. Child-friendly units will also be installed in the toilet complex in

order to provide a safer and more convenient facility for the children.

The upgraded facility will also have a resource centre on the first floor of the toilet complex building

that will enable the project to have additional space for community activities and for women and youth

group to have more space for interactive sessions and Basti development workshops.

The designs, specifications and costs have been prepared and submitted to the MCD and construction

should commence in March 2011.

The toilet was built by demolishing cubicles that had not been in use for years and were accumulating

garbage. The new construction has thus significantly improved the immediate urban environment.

The ten-seater community toilet at the Basti being managed by a basti watch group has been in

operation for a year. It has successfully been able to generate an income of Rs. 170,000.00 out of which

Rs. 130,000.00 have been spent in monthly maintenance over 11 months. The SHG formed presently

holds a saving of approximately Rs 33,000.00

Since its becoming operational, many expenditure items have now been taken over by the group

including electricity, maintenance, one staff salary and overtime or substitute costs and payments.

2.1.7.1 URBAN IMPROVEMENTSHazrat Nizamuddin Basti remains a densely populated and congested urban settlement, with its

existing infrastructure under severe strain. As part of a series of development initiatives to

improve the overall urban environment should be implemented.

Interventions on urban improvement focus on physical planning and community-based

management of public spaces and public facilities in the basti in order to improve the quality of

life of the residents and add value to the experience of the visitors and pilgrims visiting the

Basti.

Interventions on open space development, landscaping of parks, street improvements and

upgrade.

Upgrading plans for streets take into account requirements for street lighting, drainage, street

signage and other street furniture.

Improving access to sanitation facilities has been one of the focus areas in the basti.

2.1.7.2 Urban Design for sustainable development should address the followingobjectives

The protection of the natural environment at the local and regional scale.

The reduction of the impact on the natural environment at the global scale and in the longer

term: reducing ecological footprints and achieving balanced production and consumption

systems.

Promoting balanced and appropriate economic development whilst reducing social

inequalities and improving social integration and cohesion. It is particularly critical to address

directly the social issues and rapid changes arising out of mass immigration from low-income

group.

Advancing the quality of life in relation to the above, and

Promoting the long term health of the citizens, including addressing the relationship between

social and psychological wellbeing and the possibility of experiencing elements of nature locally

(particularly important for children).

2.1.7.3 Vision & Strategies for DevelopmentTo become a highly liveable area that offers a superior quality of life through a robust,

employment generating economy that is safe and inclusive, environmentally and socially

sustainable and is based on reliable infrastructure and offers a transparent, responsive system

of governance dedicated to the citys felt needs.

Page | 34

2.2.1 METHODOLOGY OF DESIGNAfter the case study of social infrastructure of Hazrat Nizamuddin basti we went under different

process and thoughts to integrate our social infrastructure into Basti. The case study comprises

of the health care system, including hospitals, the financing of health care, including health

insurance, the systems for regulation and testing of medications and medical procedures, thesystem for training, inspection and professional discipline of doctors and other medical

professionals, public health monitoring and regulations, as well as coordination of measures

taken during public health emergencies such as epidemics

The educational and research system, including elementary and secondary schools,

universities, specialised colleges, research institutions, the systems for financing and accrediting

educational institutions

Social welfare systems, includes both government support and private charity for the poor, for

people in distress and victims of abuse.

Thought process can be categorized in four steps.

2.2.1.1 Inference:On the basis of case study analysis some inference were drawn which will help out in mapping

of social infrastructure of Basti:

Dargah is the strength of basti.

Women centre for their enhancement

Child education, need of secondary schools.

2.2.1.2 Conclusion:

Map 4 Division of Design Zones

On the basis of inference drawn from the analysis we divided

the zone of design interventions so that requirement and each

area or zone can be equally fulfilled.

There are three zones of interventions

Proposed zone

Conservation zone

Redevelopment zone

Proposed zone: This zone is threat for the Basti, supporting

slum and smack, and drug related activity which do not

represent image of a healthy neighbourhood. Although this area

has some major Social structures like Polyclinic, Rain basera,

temple but they are not integrated with basti. This leads to

misuse of space in different activities. Hence these down town

market activities obstruct people to go there. In addition the scrap

business is developing there so the two opposite environment are

conflicting and due to lack of ownership or regulations, many problems are arising.

conservation zone:

This area is core area of Basti where Dargah is situated

surrounded by houses and it has entry from Baoli . Hazrat

Nizamuddin Dargah, Atgah khan tomb, and Mosque are in oneperiphery. The growing population are encroaching heritage

area , hence destroying the importance and history of our

ancestors. the design interventions are done keeping heritage

in mind and with very minimum destructions.

Redevelopment zone: This zone include Lal Mahal area,

Kalan/Kali mosque area and atar vali gali where small interventions

needed to be done. Like atar vali gali where open land is used as parking

space or during festive time it is used as mela ground hence there isneed of public conveniences so that vitality of space could be

maintained.

2.2.1.3Objectives: After classification of zones requirement of varioussocial structures was framed out.

2.2.2 CONCEPTHazrat Nizamuddin Dargah is the source of concept since many years there is no defined route

for Dargah visitors. As it has accessibility from

three routes but no one is direct to Dargah. So it

is quite tough for the person who is visiting forthe first time and moreover the most important,

the haphazard growth is overpowering the view

or importance of Dargah.

Intent is to develop a major axis to Dargah for

creating focus and better accessibility to

heritage. Secondary and tertiary axis are not for

direct services to Dargah they are acting as

primary for other socialinfrastructure.

Some major objectives were planned

or defined while doing zoning of

structures. Hierarchy of heights is

created which gradually gets down

while approaching towards Dargah.

So when one approaches to Dargah

he will feel openness and ambience

of Dargah.

While zoning infrastructure is categorised in two parts, one on large scale and one on small

scale like milk booth which are part of daily life. Hence all the large scale structures like

school, rain basera, community centre, polyclinic and women centres which are one in

quantity are sufficient for existing population as per master plan of Delhi. We arranged

them like a social infrastructure hub and proposed in Nizam Nagar area and the number of

house demolished from Nizam Nagar are provided better housing in Panch peer area. Then

some other requirements like milk booth and one madarsa was required in Kot Mohallah

area . One public convenience is proposed on opposite face of Atar vali gali because during

festival time this open ground is used for Mela and for the rest year it is used for parking

space hence to maintain the vitality of space one public convenience is required.

2.2.4 PROPOSED STRUCTURES AND THEIR DESCRIPTION:Panch Peer Mohallah is developed as new housing for residents of Nizam Nagar and

setting a new skyline for basti. It is on periphery hence no views will be obstructed while

moving in basti.

Youth Integration Centre: As there is no provision of education for age group above 22

years and the residents a involved in low income profession hence we have proposed a

centre where they can enhance their skills, communication, and life style.

Convenient Commercial Centre providing gym, polyclinic, welfare association, shops

and animal dispensary.

Parking facility for polyclinic, community centre and

can be used for Dargah visitors also.

Community centre in Basti for marriage and other

functions.

Rain basera for BPL tourist dormitory, dining facility

and some separate suits are also provided.

Women centre: For empowering women and for

their better education and socio-economic life a

women centre is provided adjacent to Women Park.

School: a combined primary and senior secondary

school with play ground and parking facility for

buses. School can be used for vocational centre or for recreation centre also after school

time.Commercial plaza near the entrance of Dargah. There

are three row of shops two of them are facing Dargah

and which are for materials like garlands, flowers,

chadar etc, and the shops back to back on the right

side (one of which is of religious material) is

developed like commercial plaza mainly for eating

and hanging out space, these shops will be separated

from road by levels and hedges.

2.2.5 SMALL SCALE DESIGN INTERVENTIONSKalan mosque area: as in this area there is lack of girl education facility. There is need of

Madarsa. In the present scenario most of them go to Okhla or in the mohallah to some

elderly lady who use to teach them at her house, hence there is no fixed and proper place.

So we have proposed a Madarsa in front of Kali Mosque, earlierthere was MCD Public Convenience which was no more in running

condition and even society dont want it to be renovated.

In front of kali mosque there is open land which has been

proposed for public space, a green area where people can sit and

enjoy. A small milk booth has also been proposed for this mohallah

which can have vehicular accessibility from Nizamuddin east road

which is 10 m wide hence it will not have problem in services and

accessibility.

A small public convenience is proposed near Markaz to maintain

the vitality of area.
