RAJASTHAN URBAN HOUSING AND HABITAT POLICY- 2007 (RUHHP-07)

1. PREAMBLE 1.1 Introduction Right to adequate housing is basic human right as shelter is a basic human need. Adequate housing is a major challenge in the country & in the Rajasthan State. Rajasthan has maximum area at national level that is 10.41% with urbanization growth rate of last decade 28.33% & rate of housing satisfaction as 21.3%. At national level urbanization growth rate of last decade is 31.2% & rate of housing satisfaction is 13.4% only. In State urbanization is 23.38%, which at national level is 27.78%. (Annx A1) Therefore Rajasthan has now rather an opportunity to under go a planned urbanization process & avoid ills of unplanned urbanization. Due to rapid pace of urbanization, increasing rural-urban migration & mismatch between demand and supply, there are growing requirements of shelter & related infrastructure in Rajasthan. Urbanization rail in Rajasthan is now on fast track. Affordable housing is distant dream for social housing group. Therefore the need for reform & liberation in housing sector is major challenge. With economic liberation and growth of manufacturing and service sector, activities in & an around the Rajasthan urban centers, the trend of urbanization is inevitable. The policy will promote sustainable development of housing & integrated habited development with view to ensure equitable supply of land, shelter & services of affordable prices in Rajasthan, with special focus on urban poor & excluded group of society.

1.2 Concept of urban, housing and habitat A. Urban Area having municipal body / notified area committee, with population more than 5000, density more than 400 persons/sq km & 75% males contributing towards non agriculture pursuits B. Housing Housing is integral part of overall economic development (Income & employment generation) & the first & foremost programme area of "promoting sustainable human settlement". C. Habitat An integrated view of shelter related infrastructure works:- Utility services/Economic/commercial infrastructure, with natural environment of home. Integrated Habitat Agenda - Offers a positive vision of urbanization to achieve sustainable development of all urban human settlement in a healthy and safe environment, resulting in "inclusive cities, inclusive growth, & inclusive development."

1.3 Mission of RUHHP - 07 “The ultimate goal of this policy is to ensure sustainable development of all urban human settlements covering shelter for all environment and urban infrastructure, concerns to enable a better quality of life to all citizens with involvement of all stakeholders. The Policy also lays a special emphasis on provision of social housing for the EWS /LIG so that they are fully integrated in the urban landscape and the towns / cities become truly inclusive of all segments.”

2 CONTEXT & NEED FOR POLICY • As per directions laid down in NHHP 98 and revised NUHHP-2007, State Government has to prepare State Urban Housing and Habitat Policy, (RUHHP 07) to tackle housing & habitat issues of state, in broad consonance with NUHHP-07. • To create a productive and responsive housing sector this will benefit all of its participants. • Need for the RUHHP-07 is due to growing shelter requirements & related infrastructure. • Due to the change in economic and social status, now every married couple wants houses of their own. Urbanization is rapid and migration from rural to urban areas is increasing as people come to cities in search of a livelihood. There are discrepancies between the supply and demand of housing and services at affordable costs. Also, most urban settlers having low incomes, have poor access to formal land markets due to the high costs of land. Therefore, situation is unsustainable • This policy intends to promote sustainable development of habitat in the state with a view to ensure equitable supply of land, shelter and services at affordable prices. • The aim is to create the political and administrative will of the government & aspiration of people to achieve sustainable human settlements. • To recognize the right to shelter for all this would be: affordable, durable, functional and aesthetic, environment friendly, ecology energy efficient, disaster resistant and cost effective. That means: Access to land at affordable cost/To basic utility and services/To building material at reasonable cost/ To financial credit / To technical assistance/To training and guidance on self help basis./ To work place & Access to have efficient habitat system to society.

2.1 State housing & habitat policy - past attempts and present initiative for urban housing & habitat policy The policy frame-work and subsequent development of programmes and schemes of the Government of India such as VAMBAY, NSDP, SJSRY, IDSMT, ILCS, and the 20 Point Programme & covering two-million houses. So far, they have yielded fairly positive results in the area of housing and human settlements. There has been a quantum jump in the supply of serviced land, habitable shelter and related infrastructure. 42,700 houses have been built under the Tenth Plan and 5,700 houses have been constructed under the VAMBAY scheme so far. There are 10,980 sanctioned units under VAMBAY. Similarly, the total number of beneficiaries under SJSRY are 40,340. Work upto 92 crores has been executed under NSDP. As per the 10th Plan, 7380 houses have been upgraded. From the Census 2001, we observe that the period of 1991 to 2001 witnessed a net addition of 8,31,085 dwelling units in the urban housing stock, amounting to an average annual construction of 83,100 houses. The share of ownership housing in urban areas has increased from 73.6% in 1991 to 78.4% in 2001 (Census, 2001). It is important to note that households having one room accommodation declined significantly in urban areas from 34.75% to 27.45% during the period 1991 to 2001 (Census, 2001). This is a result of upward shift of accommodation and accelerated supply of housing stock.

Present initiative for RUHHP-07: - RUHHP-07 recognizes that despite appreciable increase in the supply of housing and related infrastructure, the magnitude of backlog is fairly high as urbanization in Rajasthan is 23.38%, against national level urbanization -27.78%. Housing up-gradation i.e. additional work of adding at least one room will be taken up under this policy. Within a span of 5 years, it will be ensured that the %age of households with one room will be decreased to 10%. Pucca houses in 1991 were 86.2%, in 2001 90.5% and are estimated to be 95.60% in 2011. As per Annx. A2, there is mismatch between HH, married couples and occupied residential houses. Residential & residential cum other use houses are 21,49,249 nos. Vacant houses are 3,55,330 nos. Number of house holds are 21,85,591 nos. ( 102 house holds per 100 houses) In 1991 no. of households - 17,15,858 Nos. It is also necessary to analyze population size, urbanization and growth rate of districts / cities / towns along with satellite and important towns to understand housing and habitat. Total housing shortage as per Census 2001- 6.19 lacs [Annex.C].This shortage is w.r.t. houseless ness, housing inadequacies, housing up gradation required & replacement of obsolescence stock. This deficit and subsequent additions would need huge investments. Projected housing shortages in the year 2007 are as per Annexure D, is 10.19 lacs. (At the beginning of XIth FYP). Housing shortage envisaged in 2011 (Coming Census year), 2012 (End of XIth FYP & beginning of XIIth FYP), 2017 (End of XIIth FYP & beginning of XIIIth FYP) & 2021 (Census year). is 10.60 lacs, 11.15 lacs, 12.8 lacs & 14.33 lacs respectively (Annex-E.)

3. URBANIZATION, HOUSING SCENARIO, HOUSING SHORTAGE & HOUSING PROBLEM

3.1 Urbanization in Rajasthan & linkages to development

3.1.1 Rural to urban shift

(a) Agriculture contribution to state GDP fell from 39% in the year 96-97 to 26% in 2004-2005. Service share of State GDP is increasing, it was 40% in 97-98 and 51% in 2004-2005.

(b) Number of towns in 1971,1981, 1991 & 2001 were 157 nos., 201 nos, 222 nos. respectively. Anticipated increase in no. of towns in Rajasthan in the year 2021- 250 nos.

(c) Towns with population less than 20,000 witnessed negative growth. About 60% of the urban population is concentrated in 20 class I towns. Class-I towns in 1971, 1981, 1991 & 2001- 7,11,14, & 20 nos. respectively . Similarly Class-II towns 7,10,20 & 26 nos. respectively & Class-III-31,55, 74, & 90 nos. respectively & class-IV, V & VI -112, 125, 114 & 86 respectively.

(d) "As per NSSO survey (49th round) in 1993, the estimated number of households in slum areas were 911 in 750 slum areas whereas in December 2002 the estimated number of households in slums areas were 56860 in 874 slums. As per March 2004 survey, 150349 families are living in 1849 Kacchi Basties. This shows that shift of labor force to urban areas is very high.

3.1.2 Regional balance In the context of the migration of the labour force from rural to urban areas and the distribution and rapid pace of urbanization, there is a need to ensure a balanced regional growth along with suitable supply of land, shelter and employment opportunities. The overall focus is to divert the flow of migrants across various urban centers so that no one city has to bear the burden of this migration. At present, Jaipur is bearing the burden of migration, and hence this issue will be addressed, w.r.t. state capital region. 3.1.3 Demography of Rajasthan, Scenario of important distts./ cities w.r.t. population, urbanization growth rate of last decade

& scenario of important satellite towns of Jaipur belt & Barmer is depicted in Annx – A2 to A4 (As per census 2001) • Urban population - 1.32 cr. .Class of towns :- Class-I - 20 Nos., II-26 Nos , III-90 Nos, IV-61 Nos., V-20 Nos. & VI-

5 Nos. Total 222 nos. (MB's-183, Census towns- 38 & cantonment Board-1 no.) • Houses v/s house holds - Res. & Res. cum other use houses - 21,49,249, vacant houses - 3,55,333, house holds -

21,85,591

• Important towns scenario:- Population wise (Towns)- more than 10 lacs - 1, 5-10 lacs- 4, 1-5 lacs - 16

Urbanization distt wise - More than 40% -2 Nos., 30 to 40% - 3 nos. 25-34% -2 Nos.

Growth rate:- More than 50% -7 Nos., 40-50% -15 Nos. , 30-40% - 26 Nos.

Important Satellite Towns - ( Growth rate more than 40%) - Bhiwadi/ Gangapurcity/ Shahpura/ Beawer/

Kishangarh/ Chaksu/ Bagru/ Beharor/ Chabra/ Anupgarh/ Mount Abu/ Khairthal..

Towns nearby Jaipur:- (Concept of State capital region) Jaipur/ Dausa/Ajmer/Kishangarh/Chomu- Sahpura /

Chaksu/ Bagru/ Kotputli

Barmer is also new fast developing town.

3.1.3.1 Domain of policy (Urban area) - 222 Urban Centers ( As per Census 2001) 3.1.3.2 List of 222 urban centers with population & growth rate of last decade as per Annx A5 Depiction of Urban Centers is

mentioned in w.r.t. growth rate 1991-2001. Urban population & growth rate of each urban center is mentioned in annx-A5 (i)No. of towns with growth rate more than 48%, 38% - 48%, 28.38% & less than 28% as per annex. A5(i). Such towns will require special attention from planners and engineers for proper planning and for providing proper infrastructure facilities so as to create model towns, as they are growth engines.

3.1.4 Urban population scenario (urbanization projections) :- Urbanization and development are in many ways inter linked and rapid development leads to the rapid growth of the urban sector. The urban population of Rajasthan is likely to grow from 13.205 million (22.38%) in 2001 (Census-2001) to 17.247 million in 2010, 19.640 million in 2015, 22.216 million in 2020 and

- 3 -

22.753 million (26.14%) in 2021 (Annexure-A1) as per the projections based on historical growth pattern of population (2001-2021) issued by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics Rajasthan

3.1.5 Urbanization scenario (Av. Rajasthan - 23.38%, National - 27.78%) [w.r.t. % population] ( as per census 2001) Demography of Rajasthan depicting urbanization housing and household etc. is mentioned in Annexure A2.

A. Districts Level/city level: Districts, having a higher rate of urbanization also need to develop and deliver a faster growing supply of housing.

Distt. Kota -53.46%, contribution of City Kota -44.26%, Distt. Jaipur-49.35%, contribution of City Jaipur -44.56%, Distt. Bikaner -35.54%, contribution of City. Bikaner- 31.63%, Distt. Ajmer 40.09%, contribution of City Ajmer-20.25%, Distt. Jodhpur-33.85%, contribution of City Jodhpur -29.82%.

This means in Ajmer distt., Kishangarh & Beawar are developing cities & for other cities like Jaipur/Jodhpur/Bikaner satellite towns should be developed.

25 to 34% urbanization is in Churu and Ganganagar Distt. The rate of urbanization in remaining 25 districts is below 25%. Important urbanized district headquarters are mentioned at Annexure A5 (ii). B. Town wise growth rate of last decade - (Highest Bhiwadi- 121.33%(Class-III), & Hanumangarh-56.71% (Class-I)

more than 48% - 13 nos., 38%-48%-18 nos., 28-38%-57 nos., less than 28% - 134 nos., Avg. Growth Rate - 28.33%, National Level - 21.34%) class wise town growth rate mentioned Annex. A-5(i).

Important towns with higher growth rate of urbanization are mentioned in Annex-A3. Master plans of towns with growth rates greater than 38% such as Jaipur, Kota, Bikaner and Jodhpur will be reviewed after census year - 2011. The same will apply for satellite towns like Kishangarh and Beawar.

Due importance w.r.t. planning and urban development is to be given to satellite towns. Jaipur and its satellite towns and Barmer, as mentioned in Annx A4, need more attention. 3.1.6 Urbanization scenario w.r.t. decadal growth 1991-2001 District wise:- (a) District wise growth rate :-30 to 47.45% (Highest) – Jaisalmer / Bikaner/ Jodhpur/ Alwar/ Barmer/ Jaipur/ Dholpur/ Dausa/

Sirohi – 9 districts (Rank wise), Less than 30% – Remaining 23 districts. Av. state decadal growth 1991-2001 - 31.17% and 2001-2011 - 39.5% (Projected) (b) City wise growth rate: Mentioned in Annexure A-5 (i). 3.1.7 Population density scenario (Av. Rajasthan - 165 persons / sqkm, National - 324 persons / sqkm.) Densely populated districts/Cities require more attention (wrt planning):-Categories of districts A. More than 400 persons / sqkm. - Jaipur - 471, Bharatpur - 414. B. 294 and below 400 – Dausa / Alwar / Dholpur / Jhunjhunu Banswara / Sikar / Dungarpur – 7 districts ] C. 166 to less than 294: - Kota / Ajmer/ Rajsamand / Sawai Madhopur / Ganganagar / Karauli / Udaipur / Bhilwara / Jhalawar /

Jaisalmer-10 districts 3.1.8 Higher population size districts & cities also require attention with respect to planning of cities. • 4 to 10% population size: Jaipur/Alwar/Jodhpur/Nagore/Udaipur/Sikar- 6 Districts. Less than 4% - Remaining 26 districts Cities with population more than 0.50 lacs are 46 nos. (Annx-A3):-Cities with more than 20 lacs population-1 no. (Jaipur)10-20 lacs Nil,5 to 10 lacs population- 4 nos., 1 to 5 lacs population- 15 nos.& 0.5 to 1 lacs population- 26 Nos. 3.1.9 Districts/cities with highest or second highest achievements of some of the habitat Indicators (other than Jaipur):- Population density - Bharatpur, Population - Alwar, urbanization growth/decade growth - kota & Jaisalmer, No. of H.H./ H.H. living one room or w/o kitchen - (Distt. & city Jodhpur, Kota), Married couples who do not have independent room & no. of married couples - ( Kota, Jodhpur), Female & Male literacy - ( Kota, Jhunjhunu), Over crowding - Jodhpur, H.H. living in unsustainable houses w.r.t. roof/floor/walls - ( Kota, Hanumangarh, sri Ganganagar), Occupied res. & resi.cum other use houses (Jodhpur) Dilapidated houses - Jodhpur. Figures are per Annx.A5 (ii) 3.2 Vertical construction [High tech building culture has major scope] Scenario as per SERF 2000 In such cities and towns where density is high, preference will be vertical structures. The Apartment act & high rise building by laws are still currently under approval with the government. Number of stories in residential buildings indicates the development and expansion of the city and the consequent scarcity of land in prime localities. It also serves as an indicator for the pace of urbanization. Percentage distribution of Households by Number of Stories in the Buildings, classified by Monthly Household Income as per SERF survey, 2000-Urban, is as per Annx.A5 (iii) Nearly two-thirds of the households (66.1%) occupied tenements, 28.8% occupied double storied and the remaining 5.1% of the people resided in buildings with three or more stories. More than three-fourth (78.6%) of the EWS households and more than two-thirds (70.3%) of LIG households occupied single storey houses. On the other hand, about 40.3% of the HIG households and 30.1% of MIG households occupied double storey houses while the %age of households residing in three or more stories was small for all income groups. Vertical construction will be encouraged in Jaipur, Kota, Alwar, Bharatpur and Jodhpur.

3.3 Urban housing scenario including housing requirement/ shortage, housing problem & rental housing. Housing Stock in 1981 - 12,35,977/- (without vacant houses) Housing Stock in 1991 - 16,73,497/-35.40% increase. (without vacant houses)

Housing Stock in 2001 - Occupied (Resi & Resi.-cum other use)-2149249, Vacant houses-3,55,333 nos. Anticipated Housing stock in 2007 - 22,74,487 nos. Pucca housing stock 1991-86.2%, 2001-90.5% & 2011-95.6%. (Projections) During 1991 to 2001 - Rate of satisfaction at National level - 13.4% and at Rajasthan level - 21.3% This means housing stock has increased substantially & housing problem is not critical but is nevertheless significant. 3.3.1 Scenario as per census 2001-Houselessness, housing inadequacies, congestion, temporary houses, quality of houses,

obsolescence stock, semi permanent houses & deficiencies of basic amenities. 3.3.1.1 Pl. refer annexure-B, there are 36,342 houseless households. 3.3.1.2 Housing inadequacies w.r.t. dilapidated houses & quality of houses. District wise scenario is depicted in Annexure-F1

3.3.2 Rental housing scenario:- Rental housing plays passive role in housing property market. Houses allotted on HPS system plays active role, as title remains with owners.The study of major slums would reveal that most of the people living there are not the owner of the shanty but are residing there on rent.

Households living in rented houses 399,766 Nos. 18.60% Households living in rented accommodation without room 39822 Nos. 1.85% Households living in rented accommodation with one room only 196454 Nos. 9.14%

3.3.3 Overall housing shortage, as per Census 2001 & Projections in 2007,2011,2012,2017 & 2021: 3.3.3.1 Overall housing shortage as per Census 2001:-Occupied housing stock and households are mentioned in Annexure B. As per census 2001 housing shortage w.r.t. excess households (houseless house holds) is 36,342. (Annexure-B). Scenario of unserviceable houses / kacha houses, congested houses (six or more family members living without room or in one room) Obsolescence stock, semi permanents houses & houses hold living w/o exclusive room or in one room is as per annexure-C. Total housing shortage computed w.r.t. refer to above factors is 6.19 lacs (As per Annexure-C). Mainly housing shortage is in 10 districts (62.23%) – Jaipur (1.91%), Kota (6.73%), Jodhpur(7.27%), Ajmer(6.67%), Bikaner(4.35%), Udaipur (4.34%) , churu (3.64%) ,Sri Ganaganar(3.57%), Pali-3.23% & Bhilwara-3.53% 3.3.3.2 Housing shortage for urban poor including slum housing as per census 2001 (Slum housing, EWS & LIG) [Part of house of 3.3.2.1] (social housing) Generally 60 percent of EWS and LIG housing occupy only 30 percent of land and 40% of MIG / HIG housing occupy 70 per cent of land in our cities. However, even in this disparity, the residents of EWS / LIG categories service the needs of the occupants of the MIG / HIG housing. They contribute towards the city’s economy. Therefore, the informal sector is the major service provider, which has major role in various activities affecting socio-economic development. Hence dying the need is to make appropriate land available to house this section of population through policy interventions. The poor do not have access to retail housing finance because in many instances they build as squatter and have no legal title for land. Affordable housing for urban poor is crying need, Social housing requirement as per Census 2001 is 6.19 lacs – 90.8% of total shortage say 91% (Annex.-C).

3.3.3.3 Housing Shortage Scenario in 2007 (Projections). Computed as per Annx-D, D1, D2 & D3:- Projected housing shortage in the year 2007 is envisaged as 9.895 lacs say 10.00 lacs (Pl. See Annexure-D). Details of computation have been worked out as per annexure-D1, for excess house holds where we require land & housing (3.68 lacs), as per annexure-D2 for housing (replacement of obsolescence stock, temporary serviceable & unserviceable houses)-1.59 lacs, as per annexure-D3, for up gradation of 4.61 lacs is required w.r.t. removing congestion, semi permanent houses & house holds living w/o exclusive room or one room & are not married couples. Housing required for married couples have been dealt with separately.

Total requirement workout as projected in 2007- 10.00 lacs= 1million.

At national level housing shortage envisaged in 2007 is 24.71 million, as worked out by technical group on estimation of housing shortage on urban housing. Shortage by Ministry of Housing (in Sept.06). Housing shortage for Rajasthan has been worked out as 1 million i.e. 10 lacs which is 4.04% of national level.

3.3.3.4 Projections for social housing shortage [slum housing, EWS & LIG] in 2007 (Part of Houses of 3.3.2.3) Pl. refer annx.D4, social housing requirement is - 5.60+2.76=8.36 lacs -83.6% say 85% shortage is of social housing.

3.3.3.5 Anticipated housing requirement for married couples in 2007 (A) Housing requirement for married couples. 1. House holds Projections in 2010 26.43 lacs 2. Anticipated housing stock in 2010 (Treating 50% vacant houses will be occupied) 22.74 lacs 3. Anticipated married couples [increase 25% as per Census – 2001, then house holds] 33.04 lacs 4. Extra housing requirement for married couples, who are not house, holds. (3-1) 6.61 lacs (B) Up gradation of housing 6.69 married couples who do not have independent room. 6.69 lacs Total housing requirement for married couples 13.30 lacs 3.3.3.6 Projected housing shortage as envisaged in the years 2007,11,12,17 & 2021(Annexure-E) Pl. refer annexure-E, total housing shortage w.r.t. excess house holds, removing obsolescence stock & temporary houses, up gradation of congested houses, houses where houses holds are living w/o exclusive room or one room only [Households are not married couples, Up gradation requirement for married couples has been separately workout.] & Semi Permanent houses :- Year-2007 (Beginning of 11 th FYP)-Housing Shortage 10.00 Lacs, Year 2001 (Coming Census Year)-Housing Shortage 10.60 Lacs, Year 2012 (End of 12th FYP & Beginning 13th FYP)- Housing Shortage 11.35 Lacs, Year 2017 (End of 11th FYP & Beginning 12th FYP)- Housing Shortage 12.80 Lacs, Year 2021 (Census Year)- Housing Shortage 14.30 Lacs

3.3.3.7 Land issues & requirement as envisaged in 2007. • Rajasthan is rich in land, having maximum land area at national level (10.41%) – 3,42,239 Sq.Km.) with population –

55% only. There is no land policy in Rajasthan. • Land requirement has been worked out as anticipated in 2007, as per annex.-D5 – 7500 hectares. • Urban land constitutes complex system in fields of planning & management • Rapid urbanization in Rajasthan with growth rate of last decade 28.33% has resulted in:-

Consistent fall in per capita availability of land. With increase in demand of developed land & houses, there has been an increase in land cost.

- 6 -

Poorer sections are worst affected in emerging high land cost scenario. Encroached settlements are increasing.

Secured tenure allows" in flow of credit" Prevailing land tenures in Rajasthan are: - - Private - fairly OK but litigation problems are their. - Public - About 22% population is mostly on public lands w/o land tenure - slums

- Rented - Floating population/slum dwellers (mostly) occupy rented. - Others - Miscellaneous issues.

3.4 Slum housing: [Refer NHHP 1.21 (XVI & 5.8.] • 3.4.1 Slum proliferation (Slum & poverty has strong correlation.) • Slums are inevitable byproduct of urbanization, which are shame & disgrace for planners, architects, engineers, builders,

contractors & Govt. departments etc. • The growth of slums is a sign of people’s inability to afford land and shelter through the normal market mechanism and the

failure of the public sector to ensure equitable access of the same to the poor. • Slum housing lacks in term of tenure, structure & access to services are which is deprived of civic amenities. Real cause of growth of slums:- • The biggest reason for proliferation of urban slums is the absence of rental housing for urban poor when they come to the

cities for livelihood. ( Rural to urban or small towns to big towns shift ) Unless rental housing with adequate social and commercial infrastructure is encouraged even for low income housing complexes, the problem of shelter for urban poor can never the fully tackled.

• The study of major slums would reveal the most of the people living there are not the owner of the shanty but are residing there on rent.

- Slums – Existing Physical & social problems in slum areas are mentioned as per Annx.A5 (iii) (B)

3.4.2 The Slum Scenario in Rajasthan:- As per Census 2001:-

- 26 Towns have slum population of 12.94 lacs (16.9%- provisional) living in 874 slum areas.(Towns population more than 50,000) Slum scenario in main cities.

Average distribution of slums w.r.t. type of structures per 1000 slums. Pucca-48 nos., Semi pucca -223 nos, Serviceable Kucha -248 nos., Unserviceable Kucha -481 nos.

As per March 2004 survey :- 1,50,349 families are living in 1849 Kachi basties in 183 towns in Rajasthan. At present, the High Court has banned the regularization of Kachi basties. (Families living in Kachi Basties and BPL families may appear to be greater than the number of slum dwellers because survey work in slum areas is yet to be conducted by the GOR) BPL families scenario: - (Slums 2007 compendium issued by GOI- Poverty line - Rs. 466/- per month).

• In 1999-2000 urban population of BPL group - 26.7 lacs. Percentage 19.85%. • Projection in 06-07 - urban population - 23.44 lacs, percentage- 15.42%.

BPL families scenario as per march 2004 survey by GOR:- In State, 4.86 lac households (22.28%) are BPL families. The highest number of BPL families is in Kota (43,782), Jaipur (38,893), Ajmer (27,452), Bikaner (25,325), Churu (30,380), Jodhpur (30,235) Chittor (15,460). The total number of BPL families is 2,11,527 living in 7 districts only (43% share). 3.4.3 Land tenure security in slum areas:- • Security of tenure will be the basis of all rehabilitation redevelopment process. • According to the SERF survey 2000, 27.6% of the population with a monthly income upto 2100 is living in rented & others

types of housing. These are mostly slum dwellers who do not have secured tenure . • As per section 3.3.2 rental housing scenario, in slum areas maximum households are living w/o land tenure • Formal land title is an asset, which can be freely traded in the market. • Formal long-term tenure commands a high price & may make residential land unaffordable by poor. • Improved land tenure will increase the level of law & order in city & will assist in the development of formal land market. 3.4.4 How to view slums? • There is an organic relation ship between slum & non-slum areas of urban centre. • The problem faced by slum dwellers & slum related issues are not confirmed to only people in the slum, but they have direct

impact on all segments of urban population & there is reflection of ills of slums in the various other features of city. • Without urban poor, city can not run, but city is happy to use slum dwellers for their various works.

- 7 -

• City planners general forget very conveniently to earmark the plans & spaces for their work & habitat. While developing law & order situation every thing is examined about them, their work, their homes, every thing as illegal.

• Slum dwellers see politicians only in election campaigns. • Integration of slum dwellers & slum areas into urban fabric is now essential in state for planned urbanization &

avoiding ills of urbanization. 3.5 Critical review of following existing housing schemes/Housing programmes/other issues has been mentioned at Annx.A5 (iii) (C) Gharounda Scheme (Urban poor housing)/composite housing scheme/Row housing/ VAMBAY housing/ILCS/Synchronization between housing & development works/Construction on institutional lands/Income group categories/Development of shopping areas/handing over of colonies/Eviction power for defaulters & unauthorized construction owners. Efforts have been made to resolve short comings in future schemes through RUHHP-07. 3.6 Emergence of sustainable development: In order to generate suitable strategies for housing and sustainable development of human settlements RUHHP-07 will ensure proper shelter conditions, access to services and opportunities for income and employment generation with particular reference to poor. RUHHP 07 will also account for growth pattern of settlements, the investment promotion opportunities, environmental concerns, magnitude of slums and sub-standard housing. This policy will also examine the importance of sustainable urban structures which will be able to (i) absorb urban population with suitable access to shelter, services and employment opportunities and (ii) also able to serve as service centre to hinterland.

44 AAIIMMSS && OOBBJJEECCTTIIVVEE OOFF RRUUHHHHPP --0077 • Creation of adequate housing stock & up-gradation of existing housing stock w.r.t rental & ownership accommodation, i.e. by

adding rooms, bathroom, kitchen, water pour flush latrines and drainage system wherever required, basic services & creation of efficient Infrastructure stock , city wise according to present & future need of city to have “shelter for all”. Creation of organizations and agencies also accordingly.

• Bridge the gap between demand & supply of housing & infrastructure services in urban areas. • Accelerating the pace of development of housing and related infrastructure. • Providing quality and cost effective housing and shelter options to the citizens, especially SC, ST, disabled freed bonded

laboures, senior citizens, elderly women, street vendors, landless, laboures and artisans, persons affected by development of any schemes and natural calamities, the vulnerable group, BPL families, slum dwellers, EWS and LIG people.

• Sustainable human settlement & Development of cities and towns in a healthy environment using township / PPP / though convergence of resources to provide synergy by involving various stake holders/other suitable concepts.

• Using the housing sector to generate more employment and achieve skill up-gradation in housing and building activities, including establishing building industries using industrial and agricultural waste & building centers.

• Removing legal, financial and administrative barriers & stream lining approval procedures for facilitating access to land tenure, finance, technology, housing and habitat system, specifying rights and responsibilities of various stakeholders

• Availing proper central government support through JNNURM / UIDSSMT / IHSDP scheme / other schemes. • Encouraging GOR/ULB’s to periodically update their Master Plans and Zoning Plans with adequate provision for the

poor/service providers. Guiding urban settlements for a planned and balanced growth leading to in-situ urbanization, especially around existing or new economic growth centers.

• To pursue the target of cities without slums through equitable slums redevelopment and rehabilitation strategy. • To facilitate the redevelopment and renewal of inner city areas and dilapidated buildings through options of land assembly,

conserving heritage structures and places of archeological importance. • Adoption and implementation of housing and habitat related policies and by laws like land / water / waste water / solid waste

management / transport / apartment ownership act / town and country planning bill / high rise buildings / polythene law / street vendors / prevention of defacement of property / heritage / municipal modal law and proper HRM etc.

• Creation of land bank & complete frame work analysis of land use & accelerated supply of serviced land. • Commitment of resources to various housing Programs & Project / Policies including PPP concept. • Designing of tax structure and legislation conducive to housing development process, flow of finance and other resources. • Facilitating the up gradation of infrastructure in towns and cities to make these cities life to modern needs. The up gradation

will include the construction of integrated townships, the construction of highways and the widening or construction of ring roads. This may be done through the PPP concept.

• Ensuring that all existing dwelling units have easy accessibility to basic sanitation facilities and drinking water preferably on individual basis but otherwise on a shared basis & electricity will be accessible on an individual basis.

• Removing congestion by constructing new housing units. • Using innovative technology & HRD system for modernizing the housing sector to increase efficiency, productivity, energy

efficiency and quality. Technology would be particularly harnessed to meet the housing needs of the poor. • Encouraging an increased use of renewable energy sources to create a pollution free atmosphere with a concern for solid

waste disposal, drainage, traffic management, lush green areas etc. • Progressive shift to a demand driven approach, from a subsidy based housing scheme to cost recovery-cum-subsidy schemes

for housing through a pro-active financing policy including micro- financing, self-help group & policy of insurance cover. , • Facilitating, restructuring and empowering the institutions at the state and local governments to mobilize land, planning and

financing for housing and other basic amenities. • Forging strong partnerships between private, public and cooperative sectors to enhance the capacity of the construction

industry to participate in every sphere of housing and urban infrastructure. • Liberation of the scavenging population, including their welfare & source of income generation. • Integrated approach to urban poor (special reference to BPL families). • Policy tends to build synergy, convergences & integration of housing & related infrastructure interventions.

5. FOCUS AREAS / SPECIFIC ACTION AREAS/STRATEGIES Focus areas are the main areas / issues where the state is facing problems in urban development housing and habitat. The section also depicts how these issues will be resolved. The thrust will be on inclusive approach to development of housing, related infrastructure to promote sustainable habitat development. 5.1 Working out housing inadequacies / houseless ness / housing shortage etc. including basic services. 5.1.1. (A) Establishment of urban Spatial Data Centre: (1st layer) (USDC) A GIS based web solution architecture to provide both spatial & non spatial data to all the related line departments in terms of access & up gradation. Urban spatial data Centre has been establishment under the DoIT & C deptt. In the 1st phase, updating work GIS development of the base maps of six cities (Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota, Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Ajmer) through remote sensing technology through NRSA, will be done. Thereafter in IInd phase 47 towns will be included & so on. With the establishment of an spatial data center/centers:- Urban planning functions will be strengthened, by preparing base maps & building up of RUIS for urban planning related works. Perfect knowledge of manpower, expertise and technical support through appropriate urban spatial data, will lead to efficient execution of infrastructure works. (B) Establishment of urban Housing and habitat Data Centre :- (2nd Layer) [UHHDC]

Human settlement study for houseless / housing in adequacies / up gradation of houses / HH living in congested houses in temporary serviceable & unserviceable houses/ HH living W/o exclusive room or only in one room/ married couples living w/o independent room/ replacement of obsolescence stock & kutcha houses stock etc. will be undertaken & resources required to match affordable housing needs would be mobilized / synchronized. Major scenario has been depicted in section -3.3 & slum housing section.

• At present, the main housing and habitat data is taken from the Census 2001, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, & SERF-2000.

A professional body would be needed to undertake human settlement study for housing & slums under DoIT &C. Structural work for UHHDC has been done by RHB and DoIT & C. Officers & staff will be taken on deputation from Statistical, department i.e. statistical cell to under take above work will be established. Any specific data required will also be out sourced. This step would help in reducing speculative pressures created in the land and housing market. HFI’s and local authorities, while preparing a project would take into account independent assessment of the UHHDC 5.2 Working out various housing issues & providing basic services after identification of beneficiaries:

As per Census 2001 housing inadequacies, shortage & projected housing shortage in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2017 & 2021 have already been worked out in section 3.3 Further after proper identification of beneficiaries through UHHDC/other sources. Houses/plots will be offered to following categories of beneficiaries. 5.2.1 Beneficiaries with Housing inadequacies:- Houseless households/ HH living in temporary houses (serviceable & unserviceable/HH living in houses with unsustainable walls/roof/floor./HH living in congested houses./HH whose houses come under obsolescence stock. Temporary houses will be inspected properly. Repairs/ Renewal /Reconstruction works will be undertaken accordingly. 5.2.2 Housing up gradation w.r.t. addition of room / rooms / kitchen / bath / toilet, semi permanent houses and

replacement of roof / floor:- - HH needs addition of one to two rooms. - Each HH should have at least one independent room. - HH living in semi permanent houses. - HH living without kitchen/Bath/Toilet - HH requires replacement of floor/roof of their houses.

5.2.3 Identifying and providing basic services - Water supply to all HH within premises/within 150 Mtrs. - Providing electricity to all HH within premises. - Providing drainage system for all HH. If it is open, it can be in open pucca drain only.

Therefore, overall scenario will be worked out by UHHDC regarding overall housing shortage. 5.3 Providing Land, Houses, up gradation of housing, finances & measures for resolving housing shortage,

dilapidated houses & basic services & recovery of finances. 5.3.1 Land for housing (pl. see land section 5.10). 5.3.2. (A) Measures which will be adopted to resolve housing shortage [BPL, EWS, LIG, MIG, HIG. (New units)] creation of housing stock in place of temporary houses & Obsolescence stock & up gradation of housing i.e. congestion, semi permanent houses & house holds living in a room or w/o exclusive room & are not married couples.

(B) Measures which will be adopted for resolving housing shortage for married couples. 5.3.2.1 Public and private sector contribution towards Housing. Public sector contribution will be (urban local bodies, RHB, JDA, UITs and municipal bodies etc). EWS & LIG – 50% & more (approx.) MIG & HIG – 30% & more (approx.) Housing cooperative, private societies and builders will have to be :- EWS & LIG – 20% (approx.) &MIG & HIG – 70% or more. Therefore, still there will be shortage of social housing. From now onwards, while approving any colony under section 90B, a township policy or if any housing project is undertaken in a joint venture, suitable provisions (20% - 25% ) of area) will be taken for EWS and LIG. Also efforts will be made to get EWS / LIG houses constructed through temple trusts / REITS Then only 50% of the share for EWS/LIG group will be achieved for cooperative / private sectors and builders.

governing body. It will also have a president, a secretary and some elected members. (3) CDS at the municipal level. This will be elected and headed by a president. An officer from the municipal body will serve as the secretary. (4) DUDA or SUDA will monitor the above participations. This society will be responsible for getting funds from authorities authorized by the State Government and for executing the slum redevelopment works with the help of the development and city development plans (CDP). This society will also be responsible for income generation and house up gradation. As per the IHSDP programme of the G.O.I, training will be imparted to the elected representatives so that they can assist in slum improvements (housing and infrastructure). Therefore, community participation is essential so that 80% of the funds from the G.O.I can be collected under the JNNURM and IHSDP schemes. The financial pattern of the JNNURM and IHSDP scheme is explained in annexure I. (5) The slum dwellers cooperative/ multi purpose cooperative societies opting for Government Organization (NGOs) will

promoted to raise finance for housing by land tenure as collateral as a condition in the tenure & also for providing better housing & environment to improve quality of life & also for undertaking multifarious activities for economic & social development.

(6) City development plans will be prepared by consultant with active participation of CDS. (7) DPR will be prepared for getting funds for slums housing and infrastructure works, to be sanctioned under IHSDP scheme.

5.5.4 Slum development works though developers under land sharing projects : (PPP concept) 1. Land is to be considered as a resource and the government will act as the regulator. 2. Setting up an independent centralized agency to act as a single window system for resolving slum activities. 3. Wherever there are dense slums (more than 250 persons / acres) in centrally located superior area, GOR will construct flats

under PPP concept as scheme will be remunerative. 4. Infrastructure and housing development works will be taken up through land pooling arrangements by constructing multi

storey buildings (preferably up to G+3) on existing slum sites to minimize problems of relocation and these are to be allotted free of cost to slum dwellers at affordable price and free land reclaimed will be at the disposal of the developer, i.e. free sale equal component for the developer and additional built up area allowed as per the norms of the city and built up areas in excess to FSI 2.5, will also be at the disposal of builder as transferable development rights (TDR) (Tradable warrant). Through this process builders will be attracted to come forward. However minimum affordable amount will be charged from beneficiaries to induct their interest.

5. Redevelopment of slums on the lands belonging to public authorities by the designated public authority through transparent competitive bidding of the Development Rights. The surplus Floor Space Index (FSI) if any, to be used for Low Income Group (LIG) housing. Premium received to be invested in infrastructure through the mechanism of infrastructure fund.

6. No financial involvement of the govt. is needed in PPP concept. 7. Wherever builders and developers are not ready to execute slum rehabilitation works, work will be executed through the

JNNURM and IHSDP schemes. 8. Norms for providing constructed areas for society office, Balwadi and community centre will be decided. 5.5.5 Provide training & technological support In part 5.3.5 it has already been mentioned that there will be ‘3 tier’ community participation with the involvement of NHGs, ADS and CDS at the municipal level. Therefore, training will be provided by ULBs or will be outsourced by the ULBs. This training will be given to persons of the community so that they can give their inputs on housing, infrastructure development, income generation, health and education etc. Training will also be imparted to the supporting staff of the ULB's and NGO’s involved with NHG /ADS/CDS, through HRD cell. Provision has also been taken in the JNNURM and IHSDP schemes, for training aspects. Technological support for the up gradation of existing slum housing stock:- General technical issues in slum housing stock (i) Wherever up gradation of slums is required issues of space/ specifications/Services i.e. land, housing & infrastructure services etc. will be taken care off by ULB’s properly. (ii) Housing stock without bath, latrine or kitchen needs up gradation. Above scenario as per census 2001 has been mentioned on-F1. In adequacy of basic services as per Annex-F1 Technical officers from various departments will be asked to attend meetings of NHG, ADS and/or CDS, so that there is a

proper technical input of the NGOs and ULBs in mini and micro plans. City development plans (action plans) (DPRs) are to be submitted to the state level nodal agency.

- 15 -

As far as possible, building and infrastructure work components will be manufactured through AVL and R.H.B. building centers. For the execution of building and infrastructure work, technical staff will be given training by AVL.

5.5.6 Finance for slum housing up-gradation of existing slum housing stock • Please refer to annexure H-1 for the financing pattern for the release of funds i.e. centre or state. The ULBs and

beneficiaries’ shares are mentioned under the JNNURM and IHSDP schemes. • Finances will be channelized only when the title deed in favour of the beneficiary is obtained. Therefore, the main aim of the

government will be to release a secured tenure to beneficiaries. • State Govt. will allocate certain percentage of planned budget towards slum improvement & up gradation. • Slum housing construction will be at nominal cost to slum dwellers under PPP concept (For details Pl. see section 5.5.6) • In order to ensure the recovery of loans, the NHG/ADS/CDS/ CBO's, and SEWA will be formed again and will be made

responsible for the recovery under the strict guide lines of DUDA/SUDA. • HFI’s will be asked to subsidize ROI. • Temple trusts / REITS will be asked to give financial support through Devasthan Department in areas of their interest. • RCHF to release loans to beneficiaries at subsidized ROI • Access to slum housing finances will be on flexible terms. • GOR will charge extra cess on unification or sub division of plots & amount will be used in IHSDP scheme as Govt. share

on excess cost.

5.5.7 ULTIMATE AIM- "Slum free cities. Creation of rental housing stock (Dormitories/flats etc.) with Sulabh complexes for toilets State municipal/slum development phasing plans will be issued with a vision of slum free cities. Database for knowing the poor & their needs through UHHDC. Integration of city level & slum infrastructure & housing through CDP's & municipal action plans Reforming master plan & inclusive zoning for reservation for the poor & informal sectors. Using land as resource Ear marking municipal budget for urban poverty alleviation. Adoption 7 point charter with setting time lines of 5 years (upto 2012) in Rajasthan for getting slum free cities.

1- land tenure 2- Education 3- Affordable shelter 4- Health 5- water 6- Social security 7-Santition

100% promoting decentralization -74th Amendment. Displacement & Rehabilitation issues will be effectively solved through incentive zoning of land, FSI & planning

permission as resource. GOR will learn from best practices of kudumshree kerla model, Graha kalpa Andhrapradesh regarding integrated

approach to urban poor. Good urban governance will be ensured. It is key for slum free cities. Inclusive urban planning so that cit development process will ensure inclusive growth & all constituent elements of

society are taken care of i.e. including marginalized vulnerable & poor sections etc. 5.6 Strategy for urban poor with specific reference to BPL families (NUHHP-Sce.1.21) Following strategies for streamlining urban poverty & lively hoods concerning to city development process will be adopted. A) Capacity building for urban poverty alleviation.

Knowledge based network of resource centers & urban poverty alleviation cells on urban poverty alleviation & sustainable livelihood support to ULB’s will be established, where collective issues faced by urban poor including housing, basic amenities, livelihood, social services, vulnerability etc. will be restored by making policy for integrated approach to urban poor like Kerala model of Kudumbshree. Rajasthan will be launching a mission with the name RUPAM (Rajasthan Urban Poverty Alleviation Mission) for eradication of poverty. M.O.U. with Kerala Government will be executed accordingly.

Other measures will be taken as follows:- a. Conducting slum survey which has not yet been done by Govt. As per census 2001 population of slum dwellers has been

identified provisionally as 12,06,123. (cities and towns with population less than 50,000 have not yet been included). b. Cut off date will be decided for regularization of slum areas. c. Proper slum policy and with realistic definition of slum. d. Identification/listing of slum dwellers & areas, including videography. e. For BPL families / slum dwellers, first and foremost importance is family status i.e. social and economic development which

has strong bearing on poverty alleviation initiatives. Such families can retain housing facilities only when they are self sufficient, self reliant and self sustainable (S3 parameter).

f. (i) Awareness generation programmes related to women empowerment will be organized so that self employment ventures are open to families to improve economic and social status. Only there after they will enjoy fruits of housing and they will be able to sustain houses and loan repayment will be ensured.

(ii) There will be Angan wari center in every slum area having populations 800 or more. (iii) Mid-day meals (hot) will be served to expecting & nursing mothers & children throughout Rajasthan in anagan -waries

"Inclusive cities" will anchor Vibrant, slum free & humane urban Rajasthan. D) Financing urban poor housing:- Financial inclusion of urban poor will be ensured through:-

• Growing concern will be about reaching credit for poor. • Govt. will create need & right atmosphere for large scale investment in housing sector for poor. • Slum housing at nominal cost through PPP. • Shifting to cost recovery-cum-subsidy schemes for housing through a pro-active financing policy including micro-

financing self-help group; development of Debt Market covering Asset Securitization and Secondary Mortgage Market, rationalization of Stamp duty; incentives for encouraging lending by financial institutions; HFI's and Banks for rental housing; feasibility of fiscal concessions; innovative Instruments to mobilize funds and Savings; and creation of National shelter funds and Risk Fund need to be examined to address requirements of poor and EWS.

• Government also needs to examine allowing complete exemption of profit derived from the business of long term housing finance for the weaker segments of the population.

E) Including the excluded from city development process [Informal sector] (One of the main themes of JNNURM). • Due care will be taken for including the excluded group of society for housing & city development process for :-

- The urban poor - Slum dwellers. - Street vendors & hawkers - Construction workers & Women. - Migrants. - Minorities - Distressed women. - Children

(m) It will be one of the important agendas for inclusive cities at city mayor's forum & city managers forum. Mayor's forum is envisaged as part of the national programme on capacity building for poverty alleviation.

Key objectives of mayor's forum & role of mayors have been prescribed by ministry of housing & urban poverty alleviation, GOI. City Mangers Forum on Urban Poverty & Livelihoods:-

City manager's Forum on Urban Poverty Alleviation & Livelihoods Development will function as a knowledge network of Municipal Commissioners, civic administrators, city managers and other administrative/technical personnel in ULBs to share and learn from each others' experience, contributing to the overall knowledge pool for urban poverty alleviation.

Role of city managers & key objectives of city managers forum have been prescribed by ministry of housing & urban poverty alleviations, GOI F. Transport system between urban poor housing area & other working areas. Mass rapid bus transit system will also be developed between urban poor housing area and other important areas of work so that economic distance between rich and poor is reduced and quality of life of poor will also increased. 5.7 Houses to industrial labour:- For checking squatting of migrating workers near the industrial area, measures will be taken: 1. To ensure integrated industrial township for housing for industrial workers / staff. 2. Industrialist having more 5 acre land has to provide sufficient accommodation for housing the labour. Also 5% residential

area within premises will be permissible. 3. Industrialists having less than 5 acre land, adequate housing for labour will be provided in integrated industrial township and

2000 sq.ft. residential area on first floor will be permissible. 4. To ensure there are no industrial slums. 5. Such area after completion will be maintained by RIICO & maintenance charges levied on the industries. 6. If RHB/RIICO/UIT's construct houses in industrial area, the eligibility criteria will not be bonafide of Rajasthan, but only PF

no. of workers. 5.8 Rental housing [ NHHP ref.2 5-3(VI) & NHHP 98(2)] • Rental housing stock in the form of dormitories/flats etc. will be created & dow tailed with Sulabh toilets & Akhasha kalawa

for toilets & food. This will prevent further creation of slums also. • In Kota city many houses of individuals and groups are being used as rental houses. Lands for hostels will be allotted by

ULB's or ULB's will take-up such projects. • Rent control legislation will provide incentives to individuals that will increase the rental housing stock and encourage

corporate bodies and groups to invest more in rental housing. Incentives include access to land institutional financing. • Rajasthan Rent Control Act 2001 as amended by ordinance 2 of 2005 is already in force. Therein is a provision to increase

rent by 5% periodically and owners can get their houses vacated when they need them for genuine purposes. Rental housing will be now boosted GOR anticipates that by 2010, 50% vacant houses - 200935 nos. will be used as rental houses (annx.-D).

• Rental housing stock will be increased by GOR in following fields:-- - Govt. Employees(GAD housing) /Police Housing / Judicial housing / Other department (GOR undertaking) • Industrialists will construct rental houses for labour in integrated industrial township.

5.9 Housing norms (Horizontal & Vertical) { Refer NHHP 5.6 (ii) } Housing norms would be implemented at local levels with due regard to different geo-climatic conditions and life styles of the people. Efforts will be made to develop and promote use of cost-effective standardized housing design materials for each geo-climatic region. Suitable land for housing is a limited resource and therefore will be put to rational and optimum use after a detailed examination of the situation on the ground in the different urban areas in Rajasthan. Model building regulations were prepared by the Town Planning Department in the year 2000. The regulations provide norms for (A) residential building (B) flats/group housing (C) Environmentally friendly houses/ farm houses. The regulations also provide for energy conservation through solar heating, water harvesting and earthquake resistant designs of buildings. The house style, building materials and building techniques are changing at a distance of every 100-150 kms because of geographical reasons among many others. Individual house design will be separate for each set of 400 houses at the most. Separate design will be developed for next set. These regulations will be amended by TPD in accordance to National building code wherever required These building regulations will be adopted by local bodies as per the local ecology and environmental conditions, housing supply and demand and the availability of suitable land and social needs. Norms for high rise building : Design parameters for high rise building are under finalization at the level of GOR, to facilitate construction of High tech buildings. Mainly National Building code has been followed in these parameters. 5.10 Land for housing and habitat [Ref. NHHP 1.21 (XIII)] As per directions of NHHP-07, GOR will issue land policy with following guidelines:- 5.10.1 Land will also be used as basic resource / equity for Housing & Habitat works • ULB’s will use land as resource for development of housing scheme/commercial malls etc. in joint venture & PPP concept

so that maximum revenue is realized by using land as resource e.g. ISBT project in Jaipur. • In land pooling/relocation schemes in slum areas, land will be used as basic resource. • In slum areas of prime locations & density populated areas, housing will be given to slum dwellers at affordable price,

additional FAR will be given to developers under PPP & remaining land will be used by developer for commercial / Housing (Pl. see section 5.5.4) on mutual terms conditions/on tendering basis.

5.10.2 Acquisition of land & creation of land bank for Housing & urban development. [Refer NHHP 1.2(XI) / 5.1 / 1.21 XVI and section 2]

- 19 -

• Land requirement has been worked out for resolving shortage of housing as projected in the year 2007 as per annexure D5 4900 Hector of land is required for resolving housing shortage of excess house holds & 2560 Hectares of land will be required, for housing which need replacement & up gradation. It is estimated that 50% people go for new housing. Therefore total required land bank -approx. 7500 Hectares.

• ULB's to undertake land acquisition, land sharing and land pooling arrangements. ULB's will also take up such projects through public and private initiatives with statutory support for creation of land bank.

• Negotiated purchase of land between the owner(s) of land and the project proponents would be and ideal way to acquire land to give right value to the land owners.

• For Govt. lands, at every tehsil HQ, there will be land bank on web site. Also complete land bank record will be available at distt. HQ wise clearly by JDA,/UITs/RHB/Municipal bodies. Land use as per master plan will also be mentioned.

• By this way agriculturalist land holders will become stake holders also. • Releasing up to 25% developed land, including 5% ceiling limit to use land as commercial to land owners will be used as

best tool for getting balance 75 to 85% agricultural lands. Ring road lands, land for other projects & lands in prime locations will be acquired through this policy.

• GOR will provide adequate lands for Low Income Group (LIG)/Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing within and in proximity of cities towns.

• In land development projects by private sector or township projects approved by state government, it will be necessary to earmark a portion of land at affordable rates for housing for the EWS and LIG. It will be 20% to 25% of land area. This would also help in checking the growth of slums, so that land bank is also created for EWS and LIG. (State will promulgate township policy which include above provisions.)

• At Distt. Head quarters balance sheet of land use will be prepared by town Planning deptt. by consulting with UIT’s/RHB/ Municipal bodies/Gram Panchayats

• Land will be developed in an integrated manner & not in piecemeal/fragmented pocket. alternative methods for land acquision will be applied for mega infrastructural projects for there speedy implementation. Also PPP concept will be used.

• “Government of Rajasthan will allot govt. land to RHB at 40% of DLC rate at par with municipal bodies/UITs.” • Many times, there are no sufficient funds available with the ULB’s for land acquisition or because of legal complicacies

sometimes abandoning the proceedings in between therefore such lands will be acquired through a joint venture between public sector and private group..

• Forestland in high population area will be replaced by equivalent such land’s by administration, as per provisions of forest (Conversion) act 1980.

5.10.3 Land development process [Refer NHHP –Sec.2]. (A) Standards of living are increasing multi fold, but ULB’s are not enriched with finance & modern techniques. Due care will

be taken by GOR for urban land development process through: - - Integrated & planned development of periurban areas to promote housing. - Providing infrastructure works as per requirement (present & future) of cities with complete analysis of utility, social,

economic & commercial services. - Master plan preparation with proper public participation at various states & through performance audit & out-sourcing and

GIS mapping. - Preparation of 20 years master development plans of city development plans of every urban centers on priority wise. - Efficient use of land through higher Floor Space index (FSI) for social housing, for getting maximum supply. - Land assembly and development by private sector be encouraged. - External funding / JNNURM / IHSDP / UIDSSMT schemes / State Govt. funds etc. for creation of infrastructure assets. (B) Township policy for creation of new urban centers.

The state does not have a well-defined policy of 'Supply and Management of Land', nor there are any rules or regulations for involvement of the private builders for housing. Proper Township policy under PPP concept will be implemented. Following parameters will be taken care of:-

a) Government of Rajasthan will launch lucrative township projects under umbrella of township policy so that new urban centers and satellite towns are created, near main cities and on periphery of main cities.

b) All the cluster cities will be self-sustaining for housing & day to day needs. c) Entire area will be surrendered to local authority after development. d) Minimum road width will be 40 feet. e) Action under 90B will be applicable.

f) ULB's shall identify large pockets of land for township development. g) External development charges to be deposited by developer on actual basis. h) Parameters for infrastructure development shall be defined/identified by ULB's, one component basis. All the cluster cities will be self-sustaining for housing & day to day needs. (C) Proper provisions will be made in township policy for development/construction of EWS/LIG Plots/ Houses. (D) Development of cities will be uneconomical if agriculture land rates are at premium. ULBs will acquire land compulsory. (E) Detailed survey shall be conducted for the Govt. buildings that are in a dilapidated condition. The offices running in such

buildings shall be moved to some other suitable place while land vacated by dismantling of such buildings shall be included in the Development Plan of the City.

(F) There are many colonies in the cities where houses are in dilapidated condition. Residents in these areas shall be motivated to redevelop the area in a systematic way. If need FAR in such areas shall be increased. Rules shall be decided on a case by case

5.10.4 Land delivery / land disposal :- GOR will ensure equitable supply of land & services at affordable rates. Local Bodies to earmark portions of land at affordable rates for housing. - Poor land delivery system on one side has given pressure on Govt. to install public services & on other side pressure for

legitimism land tenures/uses, Actions, which will be taken by GOR: -

- 20 -

- Formal land delivery by ULB's : ULB's will allot land at subsidized rate to urban poor so that it becomes good collateral security & houses of urban poor & vulnerable group in any settlement becomes valuable project. Land delivery to other groups will not be subsidized, rather rates will be enhanced to cross subsidize urban poor lands.

Formal land delivery by developers through – (i) Township concept (New township policy is being introduced) (Special planning approach with adequate & modern

infrastructure.) (ii) Approved colonies through ULB’s through 90 B

3. Each city has unique land delivery system/subsystem. GOR will point out formal & informal cases to take either of the

following actions on land delivery systems :- • To upgrade & regularize Will be implemented through • Modify & regularize commercial non commercialized & • Regulate administrative arrangements • Abolish

GOR will abolish or modify informal land delivery system to maximum extent by :- (a) Approve & develop society lands, which are regularized in time bound program, so that lands are used for housing properly,

in a planned manner. (b) Releasing land tenure (pattas) to urban poor who are living in approved Kachhi basties/slums, free of cost. (c) To ensure no more kachi basties to be created. (d) Forest land to be converted in residential where slum dwellers are living since more than last 10 years & land is suitable for

housing, subject to clearance from Deptt. (e) Hazardous lands to be vacated. (f) Control on private societies covering agriculture lands out side periphery in residential & spoiling periphery control belt /

area outside master plan (g) Registry/execution of deeds of fragmentation of individual khasra of agriculture lands will not be now implemented & action

for abolishing khatedari rights will be initiated. (h) If any khatedar lays electric lines on plotted development, no domestic/commercial connections will be released. (i) Fragmentation of agriculture plots for use will be allowed as per JDA/UIT norms. (j) Vidyut Nigam will release connections strictly on basis of actual legal land use. (k) Strict ban on releasing domestic connections by Vidyut Nigam and PHED w/o NOC from ULBs for whole colony

constructed without 90B. 4. Further there are substantial pockets of land remaining under utilized belonging to central/state/public/private sector units

and such unutilized/under utilized land should be considered for redensification and utilization as per locational suitability excluding the land needed for the purpose for which the land was originally given to the concerned unit.

5.10.5 Urban land planning & planning reforms Following modern concepts will be used:- (A) Objectives for optimal land use:- Beauty / Economy / Public health / Effectiveness / To coordinate different interest’s of

society / Social justice / Promote rational development / Cultural identify / Perusing poor section’s interest / functional - Land will be planned to provide for rationalized and optimum density use. (B) Aspects to be incorporated:-Multi level participatory approach in preparation & implementation of plans / concepts of

planning - regional planning, municipal comprehensive planning and detailed planning and legal status of planning. (C) Integrated way of urban planning policies (mixed land use zoning):-

Master plans inclusive zoning (Zonal & sector plan) / Land use control / Site & services (if required) / Squatter control & upgrading / Community action planning concept.

(D) Liberalizing Development Controls, promoting efficient use of the land through higher Floor Space Index (FSI) for Low Income Group (LIG) housing, wherever feasible, as resource to provide developer, enabled housing & civil amentias to the urban poor will be promoted, include them in Urban market.

(E) Level of freedom in releasing planning standards will be worked out w.r.t. present scenario. (F) Land use committees will be established at various levels state wise & Distt. Wise to ensure land is planned on scientific

& sustainable basis. (G) To stream line approvals through innovation reforms such as self approvals through accredited architects & use of

information technology. (H) Sales Purchase transactions will be in terms of Carpet Area. (I) It will be ensured in regional planning that future developments are in economic & social balances among geographic &

political aspects of districts. (J) Special planning approach of township policy will be adopted to have sustainable development & modern infrastructure

& attention to planning for urban poor. (K) Master development plans will also be prepared for 20 years of cities according to priorities, for present and future need. (l) Inclusive urban planning infrastructure & making adequate provision for land for the poor, migrants, construction

workers, street vendors & informal sector activities will be made. 5.10.6 Master plans [ Refer NHHP-5.3] Out of 222 Urban Settlements, master plans of 62 towns covering 70% population have been prepared. (Details of households, land area and Horizon year) & List of master plans to be prepared is as per annexure-I. Measures which will be taken for preparing balance master plans:-

The preparation of a master plan would be made time bound and be put in place before expiry of current plan even if out sourcing is required. The laws and procedure for notification of new master plans would be simplified. Any legal or procedural impediments which may obstruct implementation of master plan will be taken care of.

- 21 -

Master plans would make specific provision for the involvement of private sector, who should inevitably keep 20-25% land area reserved for EWS / LIG.

To prepare sector and zonal plans for Class-I, Class-II towns with growth rate more than 35% on priority to facilitate implementation of master plans.

Yearly position of availability of land will be worked out by T.P.D by preparing balance sheet of land available w.r.t. various land uses.

Master plan of Jaipur city will be revised ( year 2025) along with preparation of zonal development plans through performance audit with public participation even in beginning . Jaipur Master plan will be prepared with remote sensing technology & through outsourcing.

Review / increase Master Plan area for : • Urbanized cities like Kota / Jaipur (more than 40% urbanization). • Cities having higher population (8 – 10%) • Satellite towns. • Fast growing Religious / industrial towns.

Master-plans of class I to III towns will be prepared through GIS maps priority wise. Any legal or procedural impediments which may obstruct implementation of master plan will be taken care of. While preparing the zonal sector plans for the cities, it shall be kept in view that the urban poor and the poorest of the poor get precedence. Provisions will also be made for housing for industrial labourers near the industrial area. Proper attention shall be paid to transport network so that transportation does not become a hurdle in the development. To provide suitable housing for migrants, who have already squatted on vacant lands and are creating problem for the town. To provide for the location of satellite towns for the surplus and future population. The satellite towns, so developed shall be connected with the main city via a rapid transit system. These towns will be self sustainable to provide employment to migration population. Economic development of small and medium towns curbs the trend of Migration away from the bigger cities. To develop these towns, eligible ones shall be included in the Central Government Scheme of UIDSSMT and development will be carried out with a time bound programme. In master plans separate areas for townships will be earmarked which will be developed under the PPP concept. (Township policy) Special strategy shall be adopted for the development of NCR towns and counter magnet towns for which socio-economic plan for their future development shall be prepared and financial support of GOI will be availed. Master Plan standards shall be revised keeping in view the growth potential of the city, limit to which it can be extended looking to the availability of services, provision for development of nearby towns & satellite towns as growth centers. Master plans will be prepared proactively rather than with reactivity.

5.10.7 Land tenure [ Refer NHHP – 1.21 (Xi) ] (A) When ever land/house is allotted for social housing, it will be in the joint name of men & women head. In the event of

demise of man /women, the allotment will be only in the name of survival. (B) Land tenure for agricultural lands used as residential / commercial / institutional Khatedars & land grabbers are doing plotted development on agricultural lands within JDA/city municipal limits in

haphazard way. No land tenure is with public for residential use. Only illegal fragmentation of agricultural plots is there. For regularisable land as per master plan. ULB’s will charge development charges. Also ULB’s will charge EWS fund.

Regular land tenure rights will be issued. Colonies will be regularized as per T.P.D. norms w.r.t. rood width, open areas and institutional land etc.

(C) Call for land tenure security in slum areas : Pl. see section 5.5.2 5.10.8 Change in land use policy guidelines To check illegal land use change of agriculture land to residential/commercial/institutional within master plan area. Vidyut Nigam will not release domestic connections on such plotted development. Also registry of such fragments of agriculture lands of plotted development will be banned, as fragments should be as per Govt. norms. Also such areas will be worked out by ULB's & on this basis master plans will be reviewed after every 5 years. Such streets where land use change are abundant or likely that residential land is going to be commercialized/institutionalized, land use change cases will be submitted to ULB’s for review of master plan. Conversion to non agricultural use to be simplified to facilitate integrated townships (Pl. see section 5.10.4 & 5.10.7 also). Appellate authority will also be framed to hear cases of appeal for land use change cases approved.

5.10.9 Urban land market. Land speculation gives negative effect on urban development by freezing of scare resources. Land speculation will be deterred through:-

- ULB’s will increase the supply of certain types of lands which is in very short supply by judicious rezoning of other types of lands. ULB’s will designate large areas of land which are ripe for development as site for new townships. Sales purchase transaction will be in terms of carpet area.

- For future, new towns, will be earmarked in long term to designate other large areas of relatively undeveloped land in potentially strategic locations.

- If any rezoning of land is done, for the benefit of community, additional development charges will be levied due to preplanning.

- Preventing unnecessary fragmentation of land through the provision of planning rules. - Master plan to be reviewed periodically. It is necessary that market price should be fair. - In order to keep the prices of land for public use fair & reasonable a yard stick for private land transactions will be set

through regular intervals & land prices will be annexed publicly through newspapers.

- 22 -

- Taxation on unification/sub.Dn. of plots, will be charged appropriately. - In many cases market rate is enhancing by unification of plots (mostly) & some times sub-division of plots. To cream off profit, GOR will charge additional tax & will be utilized in IHSDP scheme. - Where agricultural land rates are at a premium, the growth & horizontal spread of cities produce uneconomical land use. There ULB’s will initiate land acquisition on mass scale so that agricultural land rates are reduced & economic & social

development is there. At certain locations compulsory land acquisition will be there. Stamp duty plays vital role on land market. GOR will gradually reduce stamp duty upto 5 to 6% so that :- Maximum no. of properties will be registered due to which not only Cadastral will improve but also revenue will increase, Black money component will be reduced, Transparency in market will be there, In future market rates will be fair, ULB’s will allot/construct houses for urban poor on public land till at least 80% of demand for poor housing is satisfied, Allotment will be strictly done after identification of desired beneficiaries that means houses/land will not be put to formal land market.

5.10.10 Vacant land taxation In the whole urban area, where ever land owners are not constructing houses or are not using their lands, they will have to pay taxes on account of vacant land, because ULBs have laid water lines, sewer lines electric lines and roads have been constructed. Water lines have been energized from sources. Electric lines have been laid and energized from grid system. This will curb speculation activities and increase supply of land to real required beneficiaries. Minimum monthly charges will have to be paid. • Resumption charges which are already levied by JDA and UITs in cases where land owner are not constructing houses

within 2 years. This will have to be deposited even if colonies are transferred to municipal bodies. • Disincentivising retention of vacant land in urban areas through capital value based property tax. 5.10.11 Urban land reforms with specific focus on urban land record [NUHHP 5.3] issues are:- • Urban land records

- Management of land records. - Guaranteed land title & insurance guarantee. One of the mitigation mechanizations

• Rationalization of stamp duty & simplification of registration procedures:- Complete computerization of registration process, so that executed deeds are handed over within 48 hours.

Stamp duty will be reduced to 5 to 6% in span of 5 years. Maximum no. of properties will be registered/ Cadastral record will also be methodically maintained with proper number and map identification. Proper record, maintenance and coordination of register & maps with all land transactions/ unification/ sub divisions etc.

5.11 Legal and regulatory reforms including urban land reforms: (NUHHP-3.1.2, 5.3 8.21 & 3.1.2). • Urban land reforms which will be adopted. Major components are :-

Rationalization of stamp duty & simplification of registration process. - Management of land records - Risk mitigation mechanisms-Guaranteed land title & title insurance guarantee. - There will be a specific provision for the involvement of the private sector which should inevitably heap 20-25%

land area for EWS/LIG. - For the easy procurement of land, the UDH Dept has issued order dated 27/10/05 that upto 25% of the developed

area will be handed over to Khatedars. All efforts will be made to educate khatedars to surrender lands so that public agencies will have land banks without investment.

- With the introduction of information technology, registration procedures in the conveyance of immovable properties have been computerized and are being simplified by the State Government. For any land transaction, all details and non-encumbrance certificates would be readily available either immediately or within 24 to 48 hours according to classification of documents.

- Measures will be adopted to remove legal, financial & administrative barriers for facilitating access to land tenure, finance & technology.

• Provisions relating to housing and basic services will be examined in line with the building by loss & if necessary with NBC, to make specific provisions for implementation at the state and municipal level, for realistic provisions for low-income housing.

• States Government would take initiatives for tackling deteriorating housing conditions, proliferation of slums and the dilapidated structures in the cities.

• The notification issued by Government of India, Ministry of Environment & Forests dated 16.09.2006 would be recommended for review in the context of provision of low-income housing and to exclude housing projects especially benefiting the poor and low income groups.

• With a view to provide safe, durable and right priced housing and to protect the interests of the public, Government will come up with regulations and establish Regulating Authority for Registration of Builders and Developers and Property Agents.

• Apartment ownership act - The Apartment ownership Act which at present does not exist in the State will be enacted. It consists of the provision

for the transfer of occupancy rights of the individual owner, the management of common areas and to enable the creation of charge on the apartment by lending institution, and selling of roof rights.

• Procedures for sanctioning building plans would be simplified to eliminate delays through the strict enforcement of rules and regulations along with simplified approval procedures to ensure that the system is made user friendly. A single window approach would be developed. Chartered Registered Architects would be allowed to sanction building plans, and would be responsible for the enforcement of the norms. Professional responsibility would be vigorously enforced. Engineers who will supervise construction activities, will also be registered.

- 23 -

• The preparation of a master plan would be made time bound and in place before the expiry of the current plan with specific provision for social housing & PPP concepts. The laws and procedures for the notification of the new master plan would be simplified.

• FAR & FSI will to be optimized and increased wherever possible in relation to the adequacy of social and physical infrastructure services & for optional use of land.

• Rent control Act 2001 and amendment in 2005 - The Rent Control Act of 2001, amended in 2005 and 2006 has also been published to stimulate investment in rental

housing so that more vacant house owners use the houses for rental purposes. • Promotion of mortgage insurance, will be encouraged. • Prevention of defacement of property bill - 2005

- For prevention of the defacement of property, GOR has passed "The Rajasthan prevention of defacement of property bill 2005" so that property is not defaced. Heritage buildings are also conserved and the beauty of towns and cities in the state will be maintained.

• Development of pro-poor, investment friendly & revenue generating regulations. Formation of other policies and integration wherever required for having clear environment. - Land management policy - Rajasthan country planning bill - Policy for poverty alleviation - Municipal model law - Solid waste management - Urban street venders policy - By-laws for high rise building - Water policy including rain harvesting - House tax will be simplified as property tax & will be

b) Water deficiencies c) Water supply service standards d) Water quality standards e) User charges and cost recovery principles to achieve sustainability/affordability for economically weaker consumers. f) Limits of non revenue water (NRW) and minimum pumping operation standards. g) Creation and complete updation of data base of consumers and digitisation of maps/drawings of water supply

infrastructure upto the consumer connections. h) Functional metering system for all connected consumers. i) To promote rain water harvesting. j) To promote use of recycled waste water

- 26 -

k) Water conservation through appropriate mechanism. l) Integrated water resource management as per the State Water Policy. m) To promote private sector participation for funding of projects and management of distribution system. n) Resolving Water deficiencies :- Rajasthan urban scenario of deficiencies of water supply as per census 2001 is depicted in Annex K. Funds would be made available through different State/National/international External Funding sources to resolve the water deficiencies in a time bound manner. o) Infrastructure and financial requirements will be worked out to meet these needs. Infrastructure works will be created by GOR to ensure that water deficiencies are solved & objective of water policy is 100% achieved within 10 years. p) Rain Water Harvesting : Adoption of appropriate measures of rain water harvesting for recharge of underground aquifers for increased & sustainable drinking water sources. To promote roof top rain water harvesting in individual properties for recharge of aquifer/use for drinking and other purposes. To promote mass awareness and training programmes focusing on rain water harvesting and artificial recharge to ground water through government agencies, NGO's educational institutions, industries and individuals. Rain water harvesting measures in all development schemes are to be adopted.

q) Water Pricing:Affordable tariff upto lifeline consumption for economically weaker section to target subsidies transparently. Full cost recovery for higher consumption. Full cost recovery plus suitable cross subsidy for very high domestic consumption and non-domestic and industrial consumers.

5.16B Waste water management and sanitation policy.:- RUIDP will frame a policy for waste water management and sanitation, for approval by LSG deptt. Waste water disposal norms will be adopted whereby, failing will mean no clearance from the pollution control board will be given. An integrated view is needed for waste water management and sanitation to ensure sustainable development in city areas with cost effective operations and full utilization of resources.

Basic Elements of waste water management and sanitation policy 1. Objects :

• To ensure that 100% of the population has access to basic sanitation facilities with proper drainage within the premises or near the premises on an individual or shared basis within 10 years.

• Conversion of dry latrines into flush latrines and elimination of scavenging population including the rehabilitation, welfare of liberated scavengers by SWD and Mahila Bal Vikas Deptt.

2. The deficiencies Scenario • The deficiencies scenario as per census 2001 and October 2004 survey is depicted in annexure K • Deficiencies will be resolved in span of 10 years.

3. Master plans for sewerage system with approach towards at least 90-100% house connectivity. It may be initially for year 2031 with five year investment plans and updated regularly with 5 years interval. 4. Approach of phased construction of sewage system & STP-Outfall sewers-Trunk sewers-Laterals and house connectivity. 5. Quality of treated effluent for reuse. 6. Sewerage system in non-feasible areas. 7 Identification of non-feasible area in terms of road width, trench excavation depth and type of underground strata. (8) Pumping in sewerage system. (9) Financial resources for sustainability of the system. (10) Maintenance / rehabilitation / replacement of the sewerage system for efficient service delivery. (11) Drainage system for industrial effluent / house sewage / storm water. (12) GIS mapping of the existing and proposed sewerage system. Waste water and sewerage disposal :-

• Collection, conveyance and treatment of toilet waste and waste water from kitchen and bathrooms of households. • One of the following sewerage disposal systems will be adopted in every human settlement area. - Leaching pits/ septic tanks/ battery of septic tanks/ duck weed plant systems/ sewerage treatment plant

system according to load. • Provision of toilet facilities for all residents of the city, including individual toilets, public toilets & community

toilets. The importance of maintenance of public toilets will also be considered. • The policy would not include storm water drainage for which separate facilities have to be created, offer preparing

drainage plans of each city. • The proposed arrangements would not cover industrial liquid waste, unless it has been treated to acceptable

standards before being discharged into sewage drains. • Recycling of treated effluents will be integral part of the policy. This should mean they can be used by local

industries and gardens. Partial recovery of costs will be possible through the sale of sludge and effluents and will form an important part of the policy.

City based models Each city will be considered as a separate unit and the solutions will be will be suggested after considering various methods, including on site disposal and available low cost sanitation methods. An under ground sewage collection and conveyance system should not be considered unless it is accompanied with treatment facilities. Disposal of untreated sewage is a violation of the pollution control laws and would invariably lead to pollution of under ground sources of water. The model will also contain the following :

1. Technical feasibility 2. Financial feasibility 3. Environmental feasibility 4. Social acceptability

Subsidies by the Government :

- 27 -

After incurring capital costs, O&M costs will not be subsidized by the Government. The necessary legal and institutional systems to levy and collect charges from individual beneficiaries will be altered, to ensure:- 1. Extending the coverage to the entire city, by using all methods. 2. Preparation of a master plan for the city, if it has not already been provided. 3. Ensuring 100% connectivity of the existing facility 4. Provision for adequate legal systems, including bye laws. 5. Provision for adequate institutional system, including the need for minimum staff, equipment and training. 6. Capacity building for the municipal body. 7. Calculation and recovery of all O and M costs. Sewerage treatment plants :-There is an acute shortage of treatment plants and trained staff for setting up and maintaining STPs. O&M of these plants is costly and highly technical. Setting up a nodal agency at state level:-There is a need to set up a nodal agency at the state level. It may be PHED and DLB. The GOR will set up this nodal agency. O and M agencies of divisional HQ's:- Under municipal bodies O&M agencies have to be outsourced through companies. Setting up of regulatory body The issue of tariffs for sewerage facilities has not even been considered. It will be possible through independent regulatory bodies set up by law, to make it obligatory for municipalities to adopt set tariffs. 5.16.C Sewerage connections – ordinance Where are ULB’s have laid sewer lines, house owners be supposed to take sewer connections within a reasonable time say 6 months, failing which even other wise they will have to pay sewer charges because sewer lines are serving the area. Even if land/house owners refuse for sewer connection, they will have to pay sewer charges. With above system there will be no open drainage and polluted free environment will be there. Even if owner constructs 2 pits for sewerage, underground water quality will be deteriorated. Either ordinance will be passed or municipal laws will be amended accordingly. 5.17 Infrastructure [Refer NHHP Sec. 2 & 5.5. ] • Infrastructure provision generates economic momentum, sustainable economic growth, promotes planned urbanization

and expands housing activity. Therefore infrastructure works will be prime responsibility of GOR. Therefore public /HFI's / private sector / trusts will be attracted. GOR will create RUDF for creation of planned infrastructure assets.

• Up gradation of infrastructure works of towns and cities to meet the present and future need, will be executed on priority. • Specific care will be given to create present time requirements of infrastructure works that improve the urban

environment, as mentioned in detail of Infrastructure during XIth FYP specifically. • Details of infrastructure works which will be executed.

- Utility services - water supply / sewerage / drainage / sanitation / solid waste management / ecological appropriate infrastructure project / integrated area development schemes / transportation / electrification/infrastructure for communication network etc.

- Social infrastructure - schools / colleges / hostels /health centers / community centers / parks / play grounds / crèches rehabilitation center/ lush green gardens etc.

- Economic / commercial infrastructure- shopping centers / market complexes / bridges / technology parks / theatres / trade and business centers / tourist and health resorts / warehouses and industrial estate, hi-fi internet etc.

- Urban Infrastructure Expenditure Projections for 2007, 2011, 2012, 2017 & 2021. Please refer to annex E & G1 for year 2007, Rs. 8601 crores are needed for land, infrastructure work & construction of houses for 3.68 lacs houses Rs. 2600 crores ( at least 30%) are needed for infrastructure works. Rs. 4809 crores will be required for housing & up gradation works for resolving issues of obsolescence houses, congested houses, semi permanent houses & house holds living in one room ( no married couples).

Taking minimum 20% cost towards up gradation/new infrastructure works (of Rs. 4809 crores) we need 960 crores. Total requirement – 2600+960 = 3560 crores say 3600 crores.

The projected finances required on various infrastructure works in forthcoming years are mentioned in annexure G1 in the year 2007, 2011, 2012, 2017 & 2021. the amount mentioned beolow:- 2007-3600 crores 2011-4000 crores 2012-4100 crores 2017-4600 crores 2021-5100 crores. Special attention will be given to Class I towns, & class II towns with religion & tourism importance. List of class I towns is mentioned at annex. A5. These are 20 nos. out of 222 urban centres. Migration of population is maximum in class I towns. - Population of class I towns is 75.58 lacs of total urban population is 1.32 cr. Percentage of population in only 20 towns is

60%. Therefore proper infrastructure works will be created in Class I cities on priority by preparing 20 yr master development plans, as per present and future need of specific infrastructure works.

- After adoption of model Municipal law, Municipal bodies will be responsible for development works. • PPP concept for infrastructure will be used for development of all areas of infrastructure works. Macro-economic

strategies will be utilized to enable flow of resources as per requirement of cities such as. - Road network / water / sewerage / electricity etc. as per city requirement. - Development of community centers / Parks / Schools, colleges & Hospitals.

- Financing for various infrastructure works - Development of townships. Township policy under PPP concept is under approval with cabinet.

• For this purpose special purpose vehicles (SPV) will be assigned this job by RUIDP/RUIFDCO/ULB’s. In first phase towns with population more than 1 lac will be taken (As per directions of NUHHP-07).City wise physical & financial scenario will be worked out for major infrastructure required works as mentioned above. Municipal bodies will execute

- 28 -

proper infrastructure works in all 222 urban centers, with financial support from RUIFDCO, municipal finance commission, municipal bonds, RUDF, GOI funds etc. for technical support out sourcing will be done if required.

• 20 Years master development plans will be prepared for each city priority wise which will clearly envisage infrastructure works as per present and future needs. CDP's and DPR's will be prepared.

5.17.1 Proposed cess on infrastructure works to be levied for road work/education/recreation set up/ sports/ stadiums/e-connectivity/township/water supply/sewerage/air ports & bus terminals is mentioned as per annexure-L

5.17.2 Transport & trafic ( Refer NHHP 98 – Sec.5.8 (i), & 5.5. (xi) & Sec. (v) NHHP-05) Measures which will be adopted for efficient transportation & traffic management There is need for comprehensive/ integrated development in various sectors like road infrastructure, regulation of private/

public vehicle, licensing, etc. as all aspects are inter linked. Income & social disparities lead to heterogeneous traffic, not out of choice but compulsion owing to lack of other options

like good public transport, inaccessible door to door facilities, lack of footpaths for pedestrians etc. So there is an urgent need to build a transport system catering to the demands of all sections of society with emphasis on buses, bicycles, pedestrian traffic etc.

Careful understanding & innovative solutions will be worked out to promote innovations in road designs, institutional modifications vehicle designs & innovative financial schemes.

Urban transport has a strong impact on urban growth. An optimum mix of reliable and eco-friendly public transport system would be planned at the planning stage to meet the cities requirement, but not as consequential requirement.

Bus Terminals and Parking, will be developed according to need works which will be executed. Encouragement will be for co oriented & integrated public transport and non motorized modes. While developing new

towns GOR will ensure coherence between transport, land use & other social & economic policies like BRTS system will be developed in Jaipur.

Transport Policy will be framed by transport department. Traffic institutes in important cities, will also be established under JNNURM scheme of GOI.Urban Transport Policy (UTP) will be inconsonance with UTP of GOI. Guide lines of transport policy will be as per annexure M.

Rail transport is the cheapest transport. While preparing / reviewing master plans & while macro & micro planning, efforts will be made to plan, townships near railway stations already existing or have scope of establishment/development near railway stations. Where ever railway station in locality of townships is not possible, high speed bus services roads will be planned, with adequate bus stops, petrol pumps etc. 16.91% population is living in slums in urban areas in 26 towns ( as per census 2001) Government will ensure cheap & speedier public transport is available for slum dwellers to reach their work places / housing sites so that economic distance balance rich & poor is reduced & quality of life of poor is increased. Rapid-transit-system or transport will be ( like BRTS in Jaipur ) provided to the satellite towns/cities developed as growth centers around the main city for easy access to main city with integrated transport system. Accelerated city infrastructure projects of Rail over bridge wherever requirements will be taken up.

Traffic Congestion: • Simply building more roads is not solution to universal problem of road traffic congestion. GOR will ensure :- Traffic deptt. will manage traffic more efficiently on existing roads by widening, ring roads one way system & slip lanes wherever

possible, to be constructed by relevant department. In new town ship policy which is being shortly issued for township area, minimum road width will be 40 feet. Also due attention will be given to planning of parking lots. The tendency of converting the existing parking plots to commercial use for financial gains, if any will be curbed

(ii) Problem of stray cattle for Jaipur and all major cities :-Dairies in residential areas will be shifted in satellite areas away from city at 25-30 Km. Distance. (iii) Encroachment on foot path & roads specially on road Junctions / corners :-

Such areas will be identified & THADI MARKET & planned kiosks/vegetable platforms will be constructed in planned way so that encroachments are not there.

(iv) In future in every residential area/complexes 2% provision for such informal commercial areas will be made compulsorily & encroachments on foot paths & roads will not be allowed.

(v) Long stay of city bus stops in their routs at undesired places :- A committee has been formed of following departments :- Transport/Traffic Deptt./JDA/Road ways/Nagar Nigam This committee will ensure planning of proper bus shelters/bus stops with kiosks at desired places. Buses will stop only at such regular bus stops.

(vi) While sanctioning plans of commercial/residential complexes to be constructed by developers/builder, proposed parking areas will be owned by ULB's. Builders/developers will not be the owners of parking places as these will rest with ULB's

5.17.3 Electricity :- • While clearing development plans of any builder or CDP’s/ RIICO / RHB / UIT’s JDA / MB's etc. provision for

electricity consumption will be intimated to Vidyut Nigam by respective deptts. will in advance, just after preparation of plans, so that Vidyut Nigam, plans for availability of energy well in advance for present and future projects.

• Financing for electrification work will be through JNNURM/ IHSDP/ULB's/ bodies/. • Electricity waste will be controlled. • Energy production in the state will be increased, keeping in view the growing demand due to rapid urbanization. Public

will be educated about energy waste and efforts will be made to reduce losses. • 2,27,129 (10.39%) households do not have electricity. It will be provided to all households in a time bound programme.

Housing & Habitat data center to provide distt. wise information.

- 29 -

• Permanent electric connections will be given as per legal land use. 5.17.4 Water ( One of the MDG issues) Drinking water policy will be issued by PHED.All relevant details on water infrastructure works have been mentioned in section 5.15. Action plans accordingly will be prepared 5.17.5 Health Due care & provision will be taken in Master development plan of 20 years & XIth five year plan. • Efforts shall be made to open satellite hospitals & Health centers, family planning centers etc. in the urban centers to

relieve the main hospitals. This will also lead to less traffic problem and conservation of fuel. • PPP concept will be used in establishing medical centers-Land will belong to a local/private agency and financial

assistance of private builder/trust. Construction agency will be private/public sector. This concept will be included in the infrastructure action plan.

5.17.6 Sanitation Due care & provision will be taken in Master development plan of 20 years & XIth five year plan. Integrated waste water management policy at all urban centers will be framed by RUIDP. Waste water disposal / sewerage line works will be executed under different state/National/external funded programmes. Sewerage infrastructure plans / drainage plan /disposal of sewers will be prepared city wise and priority wise. As per census 2001 only 32% households avail sewer facilities. Sanitary deficiencies mentioned in section 3.3.1.6 will be resolved through JNNURM / IHSDP/ UIDSSMT /ADB funds/ Finance Commission/ RUDF etc. 5.17.7 Education Rajasthan is below national average in this field (65.3% / 61.03%) Special attention will be given in 11th five year plan & master development plans of 20 years for establishment of education centers i.e. Primary upper primary/Secondary/Senior Secondary Schools in small and medium towns through State/National/external funded projects throughout the 222 urban centers according to priority. Use of PPP concept in establishing various educational institutions. 5.17.8 General infrastructure services / issues

• Developing cities and towns in a healthy environment manner with increased use of renewable energy sources and pollution free atmosphere with concerned for solid waste disposal, drainage etc.

• PPP /PPPP concept will be explored in all types of infrastructure works for execution & maintenance. • Encouraging the use of construction technologies for infrastructure works which are cost effective, incrementally up-

gradable and environmentally appropriate with computer aided programmes. • Development & beautification of roads, rotaries, road junctions, traffic island, gardeners etc. including maintenance

Policy for Road Cuts :- For Jaipur, a city road cutting policy has been issued. It will be implemented strictly and for other cities also a road cutting policy will be declared so that there is no harassment to the public.

5.18 Policy for management of solid waste and biomedical waste and its implementation [NHHP 3.1.2] 1.GOR declared the above policy in October 2004 incorporating the municipal solid waste (management and handling) (MSW) rules 2000 of G.O.I. These rules will be implemented strictly. 2. Compendium of SWM policy directives has also been issued by Dir. (local bodies) 3. Zero garbage movement (implementation of action plan for SWM) will be started in Rajasthan through a complete and

integrated solid waste management system including collection, transportation, transfer stations, land fills, incinerators (compost plant) and health education in 1st phase class I - 20 towns. It will be implemented through scientific techniques and green lines services.

4. Solid waste treatment plants will be installed in Ist phase in major cities (Jaipur, Kota, Ajmer, Udaipur & then in other cities). 5. For implementation of urban solid waste management programme, machines, vehicles & equipment (road sweeping machine

etc. ) will be purchased on priority. 6. Compositing & vermi composting work in all ULB’s will be executed. 7. Land fill sites & transfer station will be developed in Urban Contractor (Project wise) 8. HLC will also ensure implementation of action plan. 9. Execution of common bio medical waste treatment facilities in all major cities. 10 .Also there is less awareness of proper disposal of bio medical waste. Therefore, there is always threat to public health.

Hospitals & Clinic authorities & common public men will be made aware of proper & scientific disposal of common biomedical waste as per MSW rules 2000. Municipal bodies will be required to create a general public awareness within medical, communities (Sweepers/Compounders/Nurses etc) for disposal of bio medical waste.

5.19 - Sustainability concerns (NHHP ref.1.21, IX) & (5.6 NHHP 98 3.11)

- 30 -

- Encouragement of green buildings (environmentally safe, ecofriendly and sustainable) (a) Sustainability concern i.e. emergence of sustainable habitat.

• Suitable strategies for housing & sustain able development of human settlements. • Efforts will be made to conserve natural resources. • No settlement can support unbridled consumption of natural resources, such as land, water, forest cover and energy.

Norms of consumption of these resources and also conservation techniques would be specified and enforced. • It is found that wherever land costs are very high there is dense urbanization, the vertical construction will be taken up

through group housing, wherever feasible • Settlements would be planned in a manner to minimize energy consumption in transportation, power supply, water

supply etc. • Growth of a city beyond its capacity imposes unbearable strain on its services. City planners would lay down norms for

development of urban sprawls and satellite townships / towns. • For Jaipur city fast transport corridors will be completely worked out (BRTS) for balanced growth : • Poverty alleviation and employment generation will be implemented together alongwith housing by state Government

and local authorities, as there is need to vigorously implement poverty alleviation and employment generating programmes.

strategy and regulatory measures would be combined to direct planned urban growth and services. (b) GREEN BUILDINGS concept will also be incorporated in Rajasthan for sustainable housing Green building is the need of tomorrow for the over all sustainable development. "A self sustainable building to large

extent" "More greener we are more safer and healthier we are" Green buildings are: - • Environmentally responsible w.r.t. quality etc. to ensure occupant's satisfaction, health and safety. • Efficient buildings w.r.t.:- - Sustainable satisfying the feeling of occupant's w.r.t. to religion, culture and habits of people i.e. healthy living. - Material efficiency (ecofriendly materials, sustainable construction materials with saving strategies, use of

locally produced materials, reuse and recycling concept etc.) - Sitting efficiency (protect and retain existing land scope and advantage of mass transit). - Energy efficiency (30-40% saving) (passive design, high efficiency lighting system, natural lighting, minimum

mechanical & electric load with computer modeling for optimization. - Water efficiency (20-30% saving) - conservation and quality • Improved indoor environment and air quality • Minimizes the urban sprawl and needless destruction of valuable land. • Encourage habitat & green space w.r.t sustainable concern. • Green buildings will fulfill design criteria of building O&M. (Mechanical, electrical and plumbing etc.). • Encourages higher density urban development, urban redevelopment and urban renewal to preserve valuable green space. • Use of green buildings:- In private sector housing and group housing projects - Institutional buildings - Buildings related to infrastructure works. 5.20 "Energy management in buildings & services" (Strategic requirement in Rajasthan) for over all housing & habitat

fields as per present & future need. • Energy conservation Act (EC Act) 2001 will be applicable in Rajasthan. Provision of TPD will frame the action areas (as per

the act) which will empower the state Government, in following fields useful for state Govt. • Notify energy intensive commercial buildings as designated consumers. • Establish and prescribe energy norms and standards for designated consumers. • Prescribe energy conservation building codes for efficient use of energy and its conservation in commercial buildings. • Govt. to amend the energy conservation building codes wherever required to suit regional and local climatic conditions. • Direct owners or occupiers of commercial buildings to comply with the provisions of energy conservation building codes. • Direct mandatory display of label on notified equipments and appliances. • Prohibit manufacture, sale purchase and import of notified equipment and appliances not conforming to standards. • Improving energy performance of buildings. • Practice coupled with low energy options which can help achieve similar levels of comfort. • Energy deptt. will coordinate with bureau of energy efficiency (BEE) New Delhi, which has already published. Energy

conservation building code 2007, which will be used to formulate energy codes relevant for buildings in Rajasthan. • The bye-laws in their current form do not find reference to a number of solar passive features. The existing bye-laws will be

critically examined and amended with respect to solar passive architecture considerations. The State Government is shortly going to issue notification which would mandate use of solar appliances and energy efficient electric appliances.

• Implementation of various energy efficiency programmes and activity prescribed under EC Act, 2007. • Coordination with Bureau of energy efficiency, Gol.

funds. • Devise innovative lending schemes, to be launched by RCHF to cover poorer segments, specially excluded group. • RCHF will be empowered to release loan for urban poor housing. • Availability of subsidized serviced Government Land for EWS & LIG housing. • To ensure an easy recovery, it is essential that the house allotted to the urban poor is affordable, meaning the monthly or

quarterly installments are within their budget constraint & recovery period for urban poor 20 years. Also land allotment is at subsidized rate, so that he gets loan easily.

• Houses allotted to urban poor on hire purchase system will be supported by insurance cover so that after death of incumbent, his family will not have to pay balance MI’s. due to collateral security.

• The poorest of the poor shall be provided with subsidy in the interest rate by cross-subsidizing it with various private commercial projects. • State will strive to bring more and more private funds into the housing sector by adopting policies that favour

private sector companies.

- 32 -

• Introducing cost recovery cum subsidy schemes for housing including micro financing & self help programme would be encouraged at state level to expedite flow of funds to poor.

• Stamp duty on the instrument of residential mortgaged backed securities (RMBS) will be reduced to 5% (As per directions URIF / JNNURM / UIDSSMT / IHSDP schemes of G.O.I).

• Developing and broadening Debt Market for housing and infrastructure to provide affordable finance and strengthen Secondary mortgage Market & asset securitization as a source of funding will be considered. NHB would take necessary and adequate measures required to strengthen and develop a sound and sustainable Secondary Mortgage market.

• Private sector will have an incentive to invest a part of their profits for housing needs of the poor. Private Sector would be asked to earmark 20-25% of the areas for houses in new Housing developments for EWS/LIG sections of population, in all townships to be developed & financed through PPP concept.

• Levy capital value based Development Charges/ Fee and create a dedicated “Housing and Infrastructure Development Fund” in cities. This will also disincentives retention of vacant lands in urban areas.

• For factory workers in the organized/public sector P.F.instrument will be connected to housing schemes • Shadow / advance micro financing form beneficiary (deposition of money per day / month in advance with developer /

ULB’s) Such deposit with interest to be adjusted towards cost of house when constructed and delivered, at later state • To encourage primary lending institutions to enhance their credit flow to poor/EWS in urban and slum settlements. • Government would encourage PPP & concepts PPPP to undertake Integrated Housing and Township Projects in the

urban & semi urban areas. • Financial Institutions would be encouraged to forge joint ventures to augment supply of funds for development of

housing and related infrastructure. In this regard, Joint ventures would be encouraged. • Plan Funds and other assistance for housing and infrastructure would be dovetailed according to the Action plan prepared

and followed by the State. • To ensure accessibility of Housing Finance to the residents of low-income areas. In this context Micro-credit for housing

along with other micro-credit programmes for economic activities would be given a strong push, by convergence of various income generating micro credit programme with housing micro credit.

• The Government would support RMBS initiatives for mortgage loan to low income group segments as approved securities so that investments from insurance, provident fund can be attracted.

• Housing is to be considered at par with infrastructure as far as funding and concessions are concerned, in order to encourage investment in these sectors.

• Incentives are to be provided for encouraging investments by financial institutions, HFI's mutual funds, Companies, trusts and foreign Institutional Investors into rental housing.

• Foreign Direct investments, investment from Non resident Indians and persons of Indian Origin would be encouraged in housing, real estate and infrastructure sectors.

• Further Government will encourage/initiate the setting up of a 'Ghoranda Nidhi' from NRIs and corporate establishment of Rajasthan for the purpose of initiating housing interest investment or Grants/Donations. This could also be provided to attract investments under Corporate Social responsibility towards housing the poor.

5.22 Fiscal concessions & incentives [Refer NHHP 3.1.2 & 5.4 (xi) & NHHP 98 3.1.1] In order to attract more investment in housing & habitat sectors Various stake holders will be motivated, persuaded, &

encouraged by planning fiscal concessions & incentives like :- • To industrialists, who establishes building industries / building centers & manufacture new innovative or eco-friendly

building materials and components or building materials using industrial and agricultural waste like marble, slurry, kota & marble stone, red murrum, copper and zinc tailings, rice husk & query waste etc. Such industrial units and building centers shall be given concessions in land allotment, sales tax and subsidized electric rates.

• In order to reduce the burden of housing for lower income groups and the poor, the State Govt. will rationalize the levy of the stamp duties and registration fees within 5 yrs to 5% as per GOI guide lines.

• To the people who save under the Home Loan Saving Scheme in order to improve the possibility of the availability of loans as these loans will be at a subsidized rate of interest and offers reasonable interest rates on savings.

• To the employers in the organized sector in industry to provide housing for their workers. This includes allotment of government land at a reasonable price and loans from the housing finance institutions at an affordable rate of interest.

• To attract more investment in housing by the private sector and also by individuals for investing part of their profits for housing needs of poor.

• Suitable TDR incentives in slum housing on PPP models. • GOR will incentives to owners of old traditional buildings who maintain Rajasthan heritage look on front of the building

(facade of building) by way of relaxation in house tax (exemption) etc. 5.23 Re-development of Inner old cities and congested areas (NHHP ref.1.20 & JNNURM programme) • There is always a gap between housing and infrastructure works in old cities & congested areas. To fill up the gap GOR

will get funds through JNNURM & UIDSSMT schemes. • Rajasthan is very rich in architectural heritage. Almost all principal towns and quite a few small towns have walled cities

and inner areas, which house the architectural heritage sites. They are also over congested and some have inhuman living conditions. Such areas will be given special care.

• Master Plans guidelines and suggestions and will be adhered to and implemented with utmost sincerity.

- 33 -

• For those towns which have inner city areas but for which master plans have not been prepared, detailed redevelopment / rehabilitation plans will be prepared through Town Planning Department or consultants or ULB's. These plans will be converted into schemes and strictly executed by the local bodies.

• Road cuts in old cities & in congested areas :- For Jaipur city road cutting policy has been issued by GOR. It will be strictly implemented in inner area. For other cities policy will be framed. Town Planning Department will be nodal deptt. for these works.

5.24 Programme for ULB's and their strengthening. • At present around 70% of total expenditure of the ULB's is being met through Govt. grant in aids. Internal revenue is 30% only. • Financial reforms for ULB's will be achieved through increasing financial resources & improving working systems. • Model law as per 74th amendment of constitution will be implemented for strengthening of ULB's & to make them

autonomous. (see section 5.24) After induction of municipal model law, improvements in ULB's will be : - (a) Interactions with citizens will be increased after induction of model law (b) Capacity building of local bodies will be increased (c) Decentralization of important activities / works will be there. (d) Government approval for many works will not be required., including revenue generation. (e) Functions delegated to local bodies will be multifold. • Guidelines to raise Revenue Resources:- Detailed guidelines have been issued by the government to all local bodies for increasing their revenue resources.

Following measures will be ensured:- Creation of Land Banks and Computerization land records. Increasing the income from land use changes. Marking of the agriculture land and increasing the income from regularizing the agriculture land. Survey/marking to stripes of land regularizing/setting it. Sale of land. Increasing income of using available land through commercial/residential schemes. Revision and rationalization of fees/user charges etc. Enforcement of recoveries of dues. Raising funds through tax free/Tax paid bonds for bankable projects. Introducing the concept of levying carrying charges. ULB's will be strengthened in following fields after mission period of JNNURM/UIDSSMT/IHSDP, due to preparation of proper CDPS/DPRs. a) Modern and transport budgeting, accounting, financial management system, designed and adopted for all urban services and governance unction's. b) City-wise functional framework for planning and governance will be established. c) All urban residents will be able to obtain access to a basic level of urban services. d) Financially self-sustaining agencies for urban governance and service delivery will be established, through reforms to

major revenue instruments. e) Local service and governance will be conducted in a manner that is transparent and accountable to citizens. f) E-governance applications will be introduced in core functions for ULB's / Parastatals resulting unreduced cost and

5.25 Adoption of model municipal law: MML (NHHP ref.-1.15) & 5.3) • Model Municipal law (Draft) has been prepared. 74th constitutional amendment has empowered municipal bodies to

work independently. Municipal functions have been well defined in modal municipal act. Municipal bodies will be independent and constitutional entity and they will be autonomous bodies. Development activities in housing sector will be decentralized. Large no. of public agencies will come forward to facilitate improvement of housing situation.

• Complete planning work/slum policies, formation etc. works will be of Municipal bodies. Govt. interference will be least. • Important features of municipal model law have been depicted in Annx.O :- • MML will be enforced after approval in cabinet & assembly 5.26 Small and medium urban centres for future urban growth (Refer NHHP 1.14). • Urban small and medium sized urban centers have vast potential for future urban growth and also for promoting a

regional balance of 222 centers. • Up till now 80 towns have been developed under IDSMT scheme. Now infrastructure works will be carried out under

UIDSSMT-05 scheme of GOI. • GOR will promote the growth potential of towns to restrict migration from rural to main cities, small to medium cities &

medium to main cities. It will also improve urban transport, wage employment program staff components, and maintenance works by providing funds under UIDSSMT scheme, RUDF, municipal finance commission and bonds etc.

- 34 -

• City wise 20 yrs master development plans city will be prepared, priority wise according to present and future need of the city, w.r.t. planned integrated development.

• PPP concept in infrastructure development works will be adopted (Pl. see section 5.30). • After adoption of new municipal model law, municipalities will be autonomous bodies and they will raise funds for

improvements of small and medium towns. As per this law, municipal bodies will utilize PPP concept also for development of small and medium towns (Section 5.30).

• RUIFDCO will support municipal bodies Government of Rajasthan will channelise funds through municipal finance commission. RUIFDCO is nodal department for UIDSSMT scheme.
