28 PREFACE Urban India is undergoing a transition in terms of physical form, demographic profile and socio-economic diversity. The important role of cities in national economic process and their global linkages demand more attention for their development, than being hitherto given. Cities are expected to perform efficiently in keeping with emerging demands for employment, commerce, trade, industry and other services. Cities have to attract investments for improving their efficiencies by way of up to date infrastructure, improved governance and affordable housing/living with modern amenities. Urban renewal of Indian cities has been initiated to achieve the objectives. According to census of India, the urban population in the country as on 1 st March 2001 was 286 million. This constituted 27.8% of the total population of 1028 million. The net addition of population in urban areas during the decade was about 68 million. The slum census, 2001 in towns with more than 50,000 population, numbering 607, reported million slum dwellers which amounted to 22.76% of the population living in those 607 towns/cities. This implies, nearly one out of every four persons reside in slums in our cities & towns. Slums generally lack basic infrastructure, housing, social amenities and this has implications on health and productivity of the people living in such areas. This also has serious implications for future generation of people residing in such areas. Socially slum is a way of life, a special character which has its own set of norms and values reflected in poor sanitation, health values, health practices, deviant behaviour and social isolation. (Planning Commission). Slums and Squatters form about 5% of population of Krishna Nagar. Though staying in such informal settlements they contribute significantly to the economic, social, political and cultural characteristics of the city. City Specific Strategic Interventions to make cities Slum Free are of Significance. With the same objective Government of India has Launched Rajeev Awas Yojana (RAY) envisaging Slum Free India through encouraging States and Union Territories to tackle the problems in Slums in definitive manner. The Programme envisages that each State will prepare a Slum Free State Plan of Action identifying Priority Cities Intended to be covered under RAY in First Five Years for Preparation Slum Free City Plan. It is expected to commit for a Whole City and Whole Slum Approach in preparing Slum Free City Plan. Government of HP has Identified Krishna Nagar, as Pilot Slum and Initiated actions to prepare Slum Free City Plans. 28

29 DPR has been prepared with Active Participation of Slum Dwellers & many Innovations in Project Planning have been incorporated like: Livelihood integration into the planning of housing unit & layout where the livelihood of slum dwellers is linked to their Dwelling Units, Convergence with the various Pro - Poor Schemes such as Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP), Swarn Jayanti Shahri Rojgar Yojana (SJSRY), Skill Development Initiative (SDI), Old Age Pension and Widow Pension etc. to extend the benefits to the beneficiaries under the schemes. Skill Development Initiatives of Ministry of Labour and Employment are also being integrated while generating employment opportunities to the slum dwellers. The Beneficiaries who will get the benefit under BSUP scheme will automatically get deleted from the list of identified beneficiaries under RAY, Principle of Financial Inclusion is being implemented in the Pilot Slum, So that the slum dwellers can access the basic banking services such as- saving bank account/loaning facilities etc. On the demand of the slum dwellers, Drug Rehabilitation Center along with community managed pharmacy has been proposed in the pilot slum. Crèche facility linked with old age home having the facility of Library. Participatory Approach in project Development, The community is being involved at every stage of the project right from planning, implementation to Operation & Maintenance. The list of beneficiaries has been shared with the community and has been finalized by the community thus eliminating the chances of non-availability of beneficiaries at allotment stage. The community has verified the survey conducted by the NGO and this process has resulted in 1213 no. of houses in the pilot slum against 996 as reported by the survey team. The CBOs along with the slum dwellers associations has mobilized the people to participate actively in finalizing the pilot DPR. The Detailed Project Report along with the design of the proposed dwelling units has been shared with the community and the community has given its consent to be part of the Process in making RAY a success in Pilot slum. This whole process will make available approximately sq ft land at the 29

30 disposal of Municipal Corporation Shimla for utilization of the same in the other projects of public interest paving way to extend urban infrastructure of City by developing missing Links in master Plan on which slums are squatted. There are 87 slum pockets housing 2758 households/structures with population identified by GoHP on government lands, which are not yet notified. Shimla attracts migrant labours especially from J&K looking the employment as porters (pitthu s) and a few beggars from plains during summer. Shimla MC operates labour hostels/shelter homes for providing night shelters to the migrant labours on nominal rental. Shimla MC and SADA provide various basic services like water supply, sanitation, primary health and education to the urban poor. 30

31 Chapter1. Introduction 1.1 General Background A. General background of Shimla City Shimla known as queen of hills famous for hilly tourist place, has been primarily a tourist destination for since its discovery in 1819, was summer capital during the British regime and administrative capital of Himachal Pradesh after it came to Himachal Pradesh from Punjab during reorganization of territory. It is situated at an altitude of 2130 m. above mean sea level. Shimla town and its adjacent planning area in 2001 had population of 1,45,555, attainting rapid growth it grew to 1,68,455 persons in About 87% of population is below the age of 50 years and has very high potential for economic growth. The floating population of Shimla was in 2001 and in Around 38% of total population is workers and 98% of these workers in 2001 are other workers involved in horticulture, trade & commerce, transport, storage and communication, and all other service industries. Shimla, being the traditional educational centre since British days, has an average literacy rate of 84%, higher than the national average of 59.5%. The sex ratio is 767 as against 896 of the Shimla district this is attributed to working males who keep their families at their native places. B. Evolution of city: Shimla was discovered by the British in 1819, and became favourite destination of British officials in summer as a hill station and convalescent centre. Shimla was accessed by twowheel cart drawn by ponies under the auspices of the Mountain Car Company. Municipal Committee came into existence in 1851 and was responsible for establishment of Town Hall and Gaiety Theatre. Shimla was declared the Summer Capital of Government of India in This paved a way to Grand Hindustan-Tibet road. Peter Hoff and Vice Regal became official residence of Viceroy. In 1871, the Government of Punjab also decided to use Shimla as its summer capital. In 1904, the Kalka-Shimla railway line was commissioned. After Partition in 1947, offices of Punjab Government were shifted from Lahore in Pakistan to Shimla. In 1966, with reorganization of territory into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal 31

32 Pradesh, Shimla became capital of Himachal Pradesh. Since then Shimla became a popular hill station and most preferred tourist s destinations in Himachal Pradesh. C. Geographical Setting: Shimla district is a part of north-western Himalayan Agro climatic region of Himachal Pradesh. It is located in the south of the Himachal Pradesh at an altitude of 2130 m. On North East side it is surrounded by Kullu and Kinnaur district, on Southeast and West by Sirmour district and Dehradun district of Uttarakhand and North West by Solan and Mandi districts. Shimla is situated on the last Traverse spur of the Central Himalayas, south of river Satluj at ' North to ' North latitude and ' East to ' longitude, at an altitude of 2130 m. Above mean sea level Heavy monsoon, cold winter, rugged topography, steep slopes, deep valleys and elongated spur characterize geo climatic setting of Shimla. D. Hilly Area: For delineating hill regions, Planning Commission, in 1981 accepted that any area above 600 m. in height from mean sea level be classified as hilly, however, in 1985, any area with average slope of 30 percent and above was classified as hilly. As per the above classification, Shimla town is classified as hilly town. E. Geology: Shimla town is situated on the rocks of Jutogh Group and Shimla Group. Jutogh Group occupies main Shimla area and extends from Annadale-Chura Bazar-Prospect Hill-Jakhoo-US Club and highland area. Shimla Group comprising of earlier Chail Formation and Shimla Series represented by shale, slate, quartzite greywacke and local conglomerate is well exposed in Sanjauli-Dhalli area. F. Climate: Chilly winds from the upper Himalayas make winters in Shimla cold. Around Christmas or last week of December, Shimla gets snowfall. Temperature varies from C in summers and in winters it s in the range 0~13ºC. The average annual rainfall in the region is 900 mm. 32

33 G. Regional Linkages: Shimla is connected by road, rail and air. Shimla is connected by road with Delhi (367 km), Chandigarh (117 km) and Kalka (90 km).

38 1.3 What Causes Slums in the Cities in the First Place? It is vicious cycle of population growth, opportunities in the cities (leading to migration to the cities), poverty with low incomes, tendency to be closer to work hence occupying any land in the vicinity etc. The key reason out of all is the slow economic progress. 38

39 After independence Commercial and industrial activity needed cheap labour in the cities. Plentiful was available in the rural area. They were encouraged to come to cities and work. People, who migrated to the cities and found work, brought their cousins and rest of the families to the cities. Unable to find housing and afford it, they decided to build their shelter closer to work. First, one shelter was built, then two and then two thousand and then ten thousand and on and on. Conniving governments provided electricity and drinking water. Politicians looked at the slums as vote bank. They organized these unauthorized dwellers into a political force; hence slums took a bit of a permanent shape. More slums developed as more population moved to the cities. 39

40 Chapter -2. Project Concept and Scope 2.1 Introduction of Detailed Project Report Objectives To integrate the slums into the economic and social network of the city. To provide affordable housing and basic infrastructure facilities and amenities for the slum dwellers in form of up-gradation, redeveloped and relocation of Slums. To include people in the planning, implementation, monitoring, financing, and maintenance of slum in the form of community participation so that a sense of ownership and belongingness of the assets thus created can be inculcated among the slum dwellers To strengthen institutional arrangements and build local capacity building to ensure operationalizing, equipping and running the facilities provided in the slums. To extend the benefits of the various pro poor schemes to the urban poor living in the slum and help them in improving their livelihoods and social life. To access the various finance schemes available for the urban poor and slum dwellers. To address the gender issue Scope The Detailed project Report is aimed to Provision of Housing and Basic Services with focus on integrating Implementation of 7-Point Charter. The 7 point charter includes: 1. Security of Tenure at Affordable Prices. 2. Improved Housing. 3. Water Supply. 4. Sanitation. Ensuring convergent delivery of Existing universal services for - 5. Education. 6. Health. 7. Social Security. Provision of Tenure Security and Housing to slum dwellers, Provision of Roads, Water Supply, Sanitation & Sewerage and minimum Social Infrastructure (Basic Services) is covered 40

41 under DPR, where as the provision of social facilities like Health, Education and Social Security Interventions are proposed to be converged with ongoing state and central programmes. The detailed project reports are being prepared with the active community participation in the form of Focused Group Discussions, Micro Planning, Listing of Beneficiaries, Consent and Endorsement of Development Options by Beneficiaries Krishna Nagar Slum is the Largest Slum in Shimla City with the total household of 1213 and with the total population of It is situated near Old Bus Stand. 40% of the total slum population of Shimla resides in this particular slum. Settlement is around 90 years old and is scattered in 4 sq. km. of area. Here people came from different states of the country and most of them are engaged in blue collar job in the nearby area. Though staying in such informal settlements they contribute significantly to the economic, social, political and cultural characteristics of the city. In the course of the development of Krishna Nagar Slum, migration played a vital role in this regard. Graph showing Migration reasons: From Pie chart shown above it is clear that majority of the slum dwellers have come to Shimla in search of their livelihoods. Krishna Nagar ward has total population of about 5067 and the houses constructed are quite less as compared to the requirement of the people living there. Figure 3: Graph showing Migration reason The one room constructed by the people is of size 150 SqFt approximately with kitchen and bathroom and more than five members of the families reside in that particular room. With the increase in the family size, the inhabitants extended their existing houses by constructing temporary sheds to accommodate their families which do not have the facilities of toilets and they use either public toilets or the Nalas (Open Defecation). People have constructed unauthorized temporary sheds to live in and they are not in a position to 41

42 purchase the land as the cost of the land is very high. The main issue: Issues which created Slum As per the provisional Reports of Census India, 2011, the total population of Shimla city is 1,69,758 out of which more than 40% of the slums are in this ward. The main issues in this ward are below: The entire waste of the Mall road and the Lower Bazar areas flows in the Nalahas (Fig:A) which is open. During the rainy season, the water level is so high that the Nalaha flowing in this ward get choked and the dirty water enters into the houses of the people. The Nalah was constructed in the British time after that no such repair has been done. The people from lower income groups has constructed Katcha houses on the verge of the Nalah and with the passage of time they have developed cracks and is considered not safe to live in. These houses have been declared unsafe by the Government but due to their poor financial position they cannot move to the safer places but to continue living in these Katcha houses. Fig.A: Nalahas Fig.B: Untenable house The houses constructed by the people are either on forest land or are untenable because they are situated on sinking zone/hazardous area (Fig:B). 42

43 The primary school building located in this area was constructed far back in the year 1960 and with the passage of time it developed cracks making it unsafe for the students to study and had to be shifted to Government Senior Secondary School Lalpani. No proper education is being given to the children and the parents cannot send their children to other school because they are not financially strong. People living in the areas are finding it difficult to live as the sewerage is open and there is no proper sanitation. This problem arises more in the rainy season when the sewerage gets blocked due to which many health problems arise. Graph showing income Status & Tenure Status of the slum dwellers Fig 4: Income Status Fig 5: House Tenure Status 2.2 Nature of Housing: The slums have a mixture of housing- from pucca, semi-pucca and kutcha. Structures for housing are single storied, one to two room houses. The quality of housing stock depends on a combination of factors such as the age of settlement, level of tenure security, housing and infrastructure provisions and funding from sources. There is very high demand for better infrastructure. 2.3 Earlier public interventions for slum improvement: In order to provide for improvement and clearance of the slum areas and for protection of tenants from such evictions, GoHP enacted The Himachal Pradesh Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act As per the Act, the slum area is defined as an area in any respect unfit for human habitation or area by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangements and design of such buildings, narrowness or faulty arrangement of 43

44 streets, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities or any combination of these factors, detrimental to safety, health or morals. The GoHP has passed the Himachal Pradesh Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1979 (Act No. 19 of 1979) which provide for the improvement and clearance of the slum areas and for the protection of tenants in such area from eviction. This act also emphasizes on - Declaration of slum areas. Slum improvement. Slum clearance and Re- Development. Power of State Govt. to acquire land. Protections of tenants in Slum areas from evictions. Other Miscellaneous functions like power of entry, power of inspection, power to enter land adjoining and where work is in progress, appeals, penalties etc. H.P. Regularization of Encroachments (in certain cases) on Government land and Disposal of Government land Rules, 2002 formulated under section 163-A of the H.P. Land Revenue act, (These rules are subjudice in Hon ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh). 2.4 Slum free City- Preparatory tasks: Slum Socio- economic Survey & Preparation of Slum MIS: Detailed Socio- economic survey has been carried out for all 87 identified slums to capture the details of slums and slum households in various slum pockets-land status, demographic profile, housing status, economic status, occupational status, access to infrastructure, household level information etc. Why Krishna Nagar Slum in the first phase: Importance/Justification of the Project In Shimla, we have 87 Slums. Shimla Municipal Corporation has chosen Krishna Nagar Slum (ward 11) as the pilot project. Krishna Nagar is the largest slum of Shimla City. Out of total 2758 houses in slums of Shimla 1213 houses are there alone in Krishna Nagar. Foremost portion of the Shimla Town where the residents feel that they are not part of Shimla Town in terms of civic amenities and basic infrastructure i.e. Krishna Nagar 44

45 Slum having population equal to one third of the total slum population in Shimla, it is a typical example of exclusive growth and out of 1213 houses identified in the slum survey process, approximately 65% of the houses are on Government land and do not enjoy security of tenure. The fate of these houses is not certain as various courts have already given direction to Municipal Corporation shimla to demolish these unauthorized houses. Municipal Corporation as well as state government has filed an affidavit before the court to review this decision in light of Rajiv Awas Yojana. A discriminatory behaviour felt by the residents of Krishna Nagar when interact with the local population. Matter of trust is strongly related with these issues. For ex. If a Krishna Nagar resident will apply for any Bank Loan they will find difficulty to get it. Basic Amenities nowhere seen in Krishna Nagar Slum, like- proper Water and Electricity connections, Roads, proper Sewerage, Schools, Dispensary, Parks, Market Area, Play Grounds, Community Centres, etc. Strong absence of linkage of different Government Schemes with the local eligible population. A fare number of Households are forced to live in Hazardous and non living conditions. Slum Survey Outcome. The summary of the Survey outcome is as under: Sr. Item Total No. 1. Total Houses in Krishna Nagar MC Houses (Property of MC Shimla) Deserted Houses Eligible Households (1-(2+3)) Houses to be covered under Pilot DPR 224 It has been observed that out of total 1213 Houses identified during the survey process, 16 houses are properties of MC Shimla whereas 87 houses are under the category of Deserted houses with sub category as D1 & D2. The Majority of the houses in the pilot slum are 45

46 having status of encroachers and cases against them are pending before various courts in Shimla. MC Shimla and State Govt have filed an affidavit seeking direction from the courts to cover these houses under Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY). A. Land tenure status: The following table depicts the land tenure status of 1110 eligible houses under RAY: Sr. No. Item Total 1. Rented Public land Encroached Private Land Encroached Possession Certificate Patta No Response 24 Total 1110 B. Household Tenure Status As per the survey outcome as shown in the graph, there are 1110 eligible households to be covered under RAY in Krishna Nagar slum. Out of which 130 Households are Katcha, 322 Households are Semi Pakka and 658 Households are Pakka. C. Houses for Pilot DPR Fig: Graph showing Eligible 1110 Household The identified 224 (135 untenable and 89 katcha) houses are either katcha houses located on the forest land or are untenable which need to be relocated in the first phase. Remaining houses will be covered in the next phase on receiving the directions from Hon ble High Court. Fig: Graph showing 135 untenable Houses. 46

47 The Relocation is proposed to be done on the vacant government/mc land within the pilot slum thus there will be no impact on the social life as well as on the livelihoods of the beneficiaries.

62 3.3 Community Participation: During the course it was ensured that participation and Involvement of Community at every level should be mandatory. The community is being involved at every stage of the project right from planning, implementation to Operation & Maintenance. Orientation of Community Based Organizations, RCVs and other stakeholders has been conducted to get them aware about Rajiv Awas Yojana and their roles and responsibilities. Orientation of the community about RAY, Activation of Community Based Organization, Formation of Slum Dwellers association, Identification and Orientation of Resident Community Volunteers also took place. Community Structure created/formed at Pilot Slum Krishna Nagar, like Community Based Organizations (CBOs) such as Slum Dweller Association, Dhara Action Committee, Balmiki Sabha, Muslim Sabha, Singh Sabha, etc. The list of beneficiaries has been shared with the community and has been finalized by the community thus eliminating the chances of non-availability of beneficiaries at allotment stage. The community has verified the survey conducted by the NGO and this process has resulted in 1213 no. of houses in the pilot slum against 996 as reported by the survey team. The Awasiya Welfare Society of Krishna Nagar has given their consent in writing to support the ongoing process at each level as and when required (Consent letter from Society is attached). 62
