Introduction

The Ministry of Urban Employment & PovertyAlleviation is the apex authority ofGovernment of India at the national level

for formulation of housing policy and programme,review of the implementation of the plan scheme,collection and dissemination of data on housing,building materials/techniques and for adoptinggeneral measures for reduction of building costs.It also has a nodal responsibility for nationalhousing policy. In addition, it is entrusted withimplementation of the specific programmes ofurban employment and urban poverty alleviation.In the federal structure of the Indian polity, thematters pertaining to the housing and urbandevelopment have been assigned by theConstitution of India to the State Governments.The Constitutional 74th Amendment Act havefurther delegated many of these functions to theurban local bodies. Although these are essentiallyState subjects but the Government of India playsa coordinating and monitoring role and alsosupports these programmes through Centrallysponsored schemes.

The Ministry also plays a nodal role in addressingvarious issues of urban employment and povertyalleviation and housing sector by formulatingpolicies, providing legislative guidance andthrough sectoral programmes. The National Policyissues are decided by this Ministry which allocatesresources to the State Governments throughvarious Centrally sponsored schemes. In addition,this Ministry is also supporting various externalassistance programmes for housing, urbanemployment and poverty alleviation in the countryas a whole.

Recently, urban sector has witnessed majorchanges on account of our country’s transitiontowards market based economy and the spirit ofdecentralization which is embodied in theconstitution (74th Amendment Act, 1992). In

addition, the role of urban sector in economicgrowth and poverty reduction has undergonemajor change. The need for public privatepartnership is now widely appreciated. In orderto cope with massive problems that have emergedas a result of rapid urban growth, it becameimperative to draw up a coherent urbanizationpolicy/strategy to implement projects in selectcities on mission mode.

The launch of National Urban Renewal Missionwith a proposed outlay of Rs.5500 crores wasfirst announced by the Finance Minister in hisBudget proposals of 28-02-2005. Jawahar NehruNational Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) waslaunched by the Prime Minister of India on 3rd

December, 2005 with an objective to providefocused attention to integrated development ofurban infrastructure and services in select 63 citieswith emphasis on urban poor, slum improvement,community toilets/baths, etc. The Missionproposes reforms driven, fast track, planneddevelopment of identified cities with focus onefficiency in urban infrastructure/services deliverymechanism, community participation andaccountability of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)towards citizens.

The need for Sub-Mission on Basic Services tothe Urban Poor (BSUP) under JNNURM arosebecause urbanisation in India is considered asan important determinant of national economicgrowth and poverty reduction. Urbanisation ischaracterized by the most dramatic increase inthe number of large cities. As per 2001 populationcensus, 285.35 million people reside in urbanareas. It constitutes 27.8% of the total populationof the country. In post independence era whilepopulation of India has grown three times, theurban population has grown five times. At currentrate of growth, urban population in India will reacha staggering total of 575 million persons by 2030

AD. As per 2001 estimates, the slum populationis estimated to be 61.8 million. The everincreasing number of slum dwellers causestremendous pressure on urban basic services andinfrastructure. The supply of land in housing havefailed to keep pace with increase in urbanpopulation resulting in large number ofhouseholds without access to basic services, poorhousing and proliferation of slums and widespreadpoverty.

The core objective of the Mission (JNNURM) is toachieve planned urban perspective frameworksfor a period of 20-25 years (with 5 yearly updates)indicating policies, programmes and strategiesof meeting fund requirements of every identifiedcity. It calls upon States/cities to undertake fiscal,financial and institutional changes that arerequired to create shelter and basic civic amenitiesfor the urban poor.

In addition, the Ministry of UE&PA have formulateda new scheme of Integrated Housing and SlumDevelopment Programme (IHSDP) which isapplicable to all cities and towns as per 2001census except those cities which are covered underJNNURM. This scheme aims at combining theexisting schemes of VAMBAY and NSDP underthe new IHSDP scheme for having an integratedapproach in ameliorating the conditions of urbanslum dwellers who do not possess adequateshelter and reside in dilapidated conditions. Thecomponents for assistance under the scheme willinclude all slum improvement/upgradation/relocation projects including upgradation/newconstruction of houses and infrastructural facilitieslike water supply and sewerage. Allocation offunds among States will be on the basis of theStates’ urban slum population to total urban slumpopulation in the country.

Ministry of Urban Development & PovertyAlleviation had organized conference ofMinisters of Local Self Governments/

Urban Development/Housing of North EasternStates and Sikkim at Gangtok on 19-20 May,2001. The main objective of the conference wasto review the progress of Centrally SponsoredScheme being implemented by this Ministry inthese States and to evolve appropriate strategiesfor the special development needs of the eightStates. As a follow up action of the conference,a Task Force was constituted in the Ministry underthe Chairmanship of the Union Minister for UrbanDevelopment & Poverty Alleviation for consideringproject proposals from the State Governments ofNorth Eastern Region and Sikkim to be fundedout of the Non-Lapsable Central Pool Fund meantfor these States. It may be recalled that a decisionwas taken by the Government of India that 10%of the total budget provision for the Ministries/Departments will be spent on the projects/schemesof development for the North Eastern Regionincluding Sikkim. Funds under this provision arenon-lapsable and unspent balances under thisprovision in a financial year are pooled up in thenon-lapsable central fund meant for these States,and are governed by the Department ofDevelopment of North Eastern Region (DoNER).

Ministry of Urban Employment & PovertyAlleviation is concerned with the project proposalsfor the North Eastern States in the followingidentified areas:i) Housing projects (predominantly for the

urban poor)ii) Poverty alleviation projectsiii) Slum improvement/upgradation projects

Accordingly, the project proposals are invited fromthe State Governments of North Eastern Region

including Sikkim and considered in the Ministryof Urban Employment & Poverty Alleviation underthe 10% lump sum provision of the Budget of theMinistry, placed separately for the projects/schemes for the benefit of North Eastern Regionand Sikkim. During the year 2001-02, there wasa budget provision of Rs.38 crore (Rs.19 croreunder capital head and Rs.19 crore underRevenue Head). As the demand of funds for theNER projects was to be met mainly from theCapital Head only, at the RE stage, the CapitalHead was increased by the Ministry of Finance toRs. 33 crore and entire amount of Rs.33 crorewas released during the year 2001-02.

During the year 2002-2003, the total fundsallocated for the benefits of the projects in NorthEastern Regions and Sikkim, were Rs.62.50 crore,out of which an amount of Rs. 44.17 crore wasreleased . The balance funds of Rs.18.33 crorewere placed with the Non-lapsable poolmaintained by the Department of Developmentof North Eastern Region (DoNER). The totalallocated funds could not be utilized because ofthe non-receipt of project proposals, complete inall respect, from the North Eastern States andSikkim.

During the year 2003-2004, an amount ofRs.62.50 crores was provided in the budget forthe benefit of the projects in North Eastern Regionsand Sikkim. (Rs.1.00 crore under Revenue Headand Rs.61.50 crores under Capital Head). In theSecond Batch of Supplementary Demands for theGrants 2003-04, Rs. 10.50 crore was divertedfrom the Rs. 61.50 crores, to SJSRY for theutilization in NER States, so the total allocation atthe RE stage, under Capital Head, became Rs.51.00 crores only. The amount of Rs.1 croreavailable under Revenue Head was utilised under

The 20-Point Programme envisages thenation’s commitment to eradicate poverty,reduce income disparity, socio-economic

inequalities and also to provide basic amenities,including housing, for improving the quality oflife of the poor and other weaker sections of thesociety.

The Ministry of Urban Employment and PovertyAlleviation is the nodal Ministry to monitor thefollowing points:-• 14(d) - Economically Weaker Section

(EWS) Housing• 14(e) - Low Income Group (LIG) Housing

and• 15 - Environment Improvement of

Urban Slums (EIUS)

The Ministry in consultation with the States/UnionTerritories fixes the physical targets in respect ofthe points mentioned above and monitors theprogress made by them. The States/UnionTerritories are required to furnish progress reportson Monthly/Half/Yearly and Annual basis to thisMinistry. The physical monitoring is done byobtaining periodical reports from them. Besidesthis, two evaluatory items namely ‘use of low costbuilding material’ under Point 14 and ‘restrictinggrowth of urban slums’ under Point 15 are alsomonitored.

Based on the information received from variousStates/Union Territories, it has been observed thatthe level of performance varies in matters ofphysical achievements. The low level ofperformance in housing sectors can be attributedto inadequate Budget provision, land acquisitionproblem, difficulty in providing services,inadequate access to institutional finance,shortage of building materials/resources, risingcost of construction, etc.

The Ministry of Urban Employment & PovertyAlleviation does not provide the funds for theabove mentioned schemes under the Twenty Pointprogramme.

International scene on Shelter and related issuesat that time. The Policy document outlining thestrategy under the 8th Plan was endorsed byParliament in 1994. The long-term goal of theNHHP was to eradicate houselessness, to improvethe housing conditions of the inadequately housedand to provide a minimum level of basic servicesand amenities to all. It recoganised that themagnitude of the housing stock need theinvolvement of various agencies includingGovernment at different levels, the CooperativeSector, the community and the private sector. ThePolicy envisaged a major shift in Government’srole to act more as a facilitator than as a provider.The Policy provided for review and modificationin the light of changing scenario in the housingsector as and when needed.

After a thorough review, the National Housing &Habitat Policy, 1998 was formulated to addressthe issues of sustainable development,infrastructure development and for strong publicprivate partnerships for shelter delivery; and wasapproved and laid before Parliament on 29.7.98.The objectives of the policy are to create surplusesin housing stock and facilitate construction of twomillion dwelling units each year in pursuance ofNational Agenda for Governance. It also seeksto ensure that housing along with supportingservices is treated as a priority sector at par withinfrastructure.

The housing sector has witnessed several changessince the formulation of National Housing &Habitat Policy (NHHP) 1998, which hasnecessitated to review and revise the Policy. Inthis regard, a Task Force was constituted underthe Chairpersonship of Secretary, UrbanEmployment & Poverty Alleviation on 27.1.2005representing members from Planning

NBO is an attached office working underthe Ministry of Urban Employment andPoverty Alleviation (UEPA). It was

established in 1954 under the then Ministry ofWorks and Housing with the objectives, inter-alia,to (a) collect, document and disseminateinformation on the latest advances in housing,(b) develop housing and building statistics andconduct studies relating to social, economic,financial and investment aspects of housing.

In the context of the long-term policy on transferof cost effective aspects of houses, study of socio-economic aspects of housing issues, NBO wasrestructured in August, 1992. The major functionsof the restructured NBO are as follows:-

i) Study and survey of socio-economic aspectsof housing.

ii) Collection, collation, co-ordination anddissemination of building and housingstatistics.

iii) Organiszation and setting up of aManagement Information System to monitorimplementation of national Housing Policy.

iv) Organization and co-ordination of activitiesrelating to housing census and samplesurvey on housing conditions.

v) Statistical and socio-economic functionsconnected with housing and urbandevelopment and proper up-deep of datathrough computer data bank.

vi) Exchange and supply of publication in theform of technical pamphlets relating tohousing and urban development activity.

The activities of restructured NBO are as follows:-

i) Coordinated activities relating generationof primary data relating to housing byGovernment organization namely, the officeof the Registrar General of India, National

Sample Survey Organisation and otherconcerned organization.

ii) Collecting primary data on current housingand buildings construction activity in theurban areas in both public and privatesectors under its 3-tier scheme of NBO.

iii) Data on the Prices of Selected BuildingMaterials and wages of Labour involved inconstruction activity from the state capitalsand several other important cities in thecountry are collected on a quarterly basisunder the 3-tier scheme of NBO.

iv) Data on Building Cost Index relating to LowIncome Group Houses constructed by theState Housing Boards or State DevelopmentAuthorities etc. are also being collected andcomplied in respect of selected centers. TheState Govts. have been advised to shift thebase year from 1980-81 = 100 to 1993-94 = 1000 for the calculation of buildingscost Index. The methodology and guidelineshave also been provided to the concernedState Govts. Authorities in this regard byNBO for the sake of uniformity.

Since 1998, despite acute shortage of staff andother handicaps faced by NBO, the followingpublications have been brought out by NBO :-

(a) Building Material Prices and Wages ofLabour 1997:

(b) Bilingual Manuscript of Handbook ofHousing Statistics-2003

(c) Metropolitan Housing Statistics-2002:(d) Sample Survey conducted by NBO in the

slum Areas of NCT of Delhi.(e) Manuscript of the publication “Building

Material prices and Wages of Labour 1988& 1999”.

(f) Housing Statistics – An Overview 1999.(g) Training to States/ UT

National Buildings Organisation (NBO)



At present whatever data is regularly collected inhousing is being collected only by NBO in theGovt. of India. Regarding other agencies positionis :• NSSO, CSO – Once in five years on

random sample basis.• RGI – Once in ten years.• NBO – On yearly basis, actual data and

not on random sample basis.

The Government of India constituted on 19th

January, 2000 a full fledged National StatisticalCommission under the chairmanship of Dr. C.Rangarajan to examine critically the deficienciesof the present statistical system in terms oftimeliness, reliability and adequacy. TheCommission had observed that the adequacy,credibility and timeliness of the data generatedby the statistical system are essential for thepurpose of policy formulation and for monitoringthe progress of various sectors of the economy.The Commission in its report released in August,2001, recommended that NSSO, NBO and RGIshould take steps to bridge the data gap onHousing Statistics through surveys and census.Accordingly Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)on “Construction statistics was Constituted underthe chairmanship of Additional Director General,National Accounts Division, CSO, with term ofreference as -

i) To review the current Status of constructionStatistics identifying data gaps in relationwith requirement of compilation of Nationalincome etc.

ii) To examine the conceptual issues,methodological problems and organizationdifficulties in collection if current buildingconstruction statistics;

iii) To review the viable system of regularcollection and compilation of currentbuildings construction statistics including thereview of the existing schedules andannexure.

The Advisory Committee will submit its report toGovernment by March,2006.

The compilation of authentic and reliable officialstatistics on housing and related infrastructure isvery important for the planners and policy makersin the field of housing, as plans and policiescannot be framed and executed in the absenceof any authentic data. Also, the official statisticsare crucial for evaluation of various plan schemesand policies of Government. The NBO has beendischarging these functions and is resumed to fulfillthese requirements as it collects, documents anddisseminates the data on housing on regular basis.

Some of the major statistics relating to urbanpopulation, housing and housing shortages aregiven in the tables 1 to 6 appended herewith.The Tables shows that the share of urbanpopulation has increased from 10.8% in 1901 to17.3% in 1951 and to 27.8% in 2001. The totalnumber of urban agglomerations/towns have alsoincreased from 1917 in 1901 to 3060 in 1951and to 5161 in 2001. While only 5.84% of urbanpopulation was living in metropolitan cities in1901, 37.87% of total urban population lives inmetropolitan cities in 2001. The number ofmetropolitan cities have also grown from 1 in1901 to 5 in 1951 and to 35 in 2001. The table4 shows that the houseless population has showna decline from 23.43 lakh in 1981 to 19.44 in2001. NBO has also estimated the housingshortage for the year 2001 both for all India andStates. As per the estimates in Table 5 & 6, thetotal housing shortage in the country is 24.7million, out of which 14.1 million is in rural areasand 10.6 million is in urban areas. The maximumhousing shortage in the urban areas is in the Stateof Tamil Nadu (1.54 million) followed byMaharashtra (1.37 million) and Uttar Pradesh(1.04 million).

The National Cooperative HousingFederation of India (NCHF) is a nationallevel organization of the entire cooperative

housing sector in the country. The primaryobjective of NCHF is to promote, guide andcoordinate the activities of housing cooperativesin the country.

The main activities and achievements of NCHFduring the period from April 2005 to December2005 are placed below:

PROMOPROMOPROMOPROMOPROMOTIONAL ATIONAL ATIONAL ATIONAL ATIONAL ACTIVITIESCTIVITIESCTIVITIESCTIVITIESCTIVITIES

1. NCHF continued its efforts to promote ApexCooperative Housing Federations (ACHFs)in those States where such organizations donot exist. The Uttaranchal StateCooperative Marketing Federation (UCMF)has been designated to perform the functionof ACHF in the State. The UCMF hasapplied for membership to NCHF.

2. Under the Two Million Housing Programme,NCHF approached the major fundinginstitutions like LIC, NHB and HUDCO toincrease the flow of funds to ACHFs so asto achieve above targets.

3. NCHF have taken up the matter with LifeInsurance Corporation of India (LIC) forreduction in the interest rate on its loans toACHFs, increasing the quantum of annualloan assistance, raising borrowing limit ofACHFs, etc. The LIC has made an allocationof Rs.170 crores as loans to ACHFs for theyear 2005-06 and also increased the rebatefrom 0.5% to 1.0% for prompt repaymentof interest and principal in respect of pastloans.

4. NCHF have requested National Housing

Bank (NHB) to waive the prepaymentcharges from ACHFs in case of refund ofloans raised at higher interest rates, and togrant refinance without insisting onGovernment guarantee/registration ofindenture of floating charge as well as towaive additional interest of 0.50% chargedwhile granting loans on the basis of floatingcharge. The NHB has decided not tocharge differential interest on its refinanceto ACHFs on the basis of Governmentguarantee. As of now the prime rate ofNHB refinance to ACHFs is 7.50% for the5 years slab and 7.75% for more than 5years to 10 years slab. However, actualrate applicable to a particular ACHF willdepend on internal credit rating assignedto it.

5. NCHF have requested Housing and UrbanDevelopment Corporation (HUDCO) toreschedule the scheme-wise repayment ofloans raised by J&K Housecorpn.

6. NCHF have requested National Bank forAgriculture and Rural Development(NABARD) to utilize the vast network andinfrastructure available with housingcooperatives and consider refinancing ruralhousing through ACHFs.

Thisdemand survey was responded by over 1,00,000Central Govt employees from all over thecountry and the data collected was collated,analysed and put up to the Governing Councilof CGEWHO for its information and furtherguidance in the matter. Based upon theresponse patterns, the Governing Councildecided to prioritise various cities in the countryfor taking up its housing projects in future.CGEWHO’s residential complexes have been andare being built on plots of land ranging from 2 to



40 acres. Multiple types of dwelling units arebuilt, with or without lift facility, to meet therequirements of potential buyers matching withtheir financial capabilities.
