HUDCO Awards for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment | i

FOREWORDUrbanisation is an inevitable and global phenomenon, impacting human settlements worldwide. With half of the world’s population being urban, twenty first century is poised to be the century of cities. The rapid growth of urban settlements impacts almost all aspects of human life and has also brought in many challenges, particularly for our cities and towns. World over, the urban settlements are battling challenges related to scarcity of resources, strained and inadequate infrastructure, energy shortage, environmental degradation, increasing demand for livelihoods and access to better facilities.

In this context, globally, Urban administrators, professionals and leaders are looking for innovative solu-tions to traditional problems, for smart and sustainable growth. In India, Urban Local Bodies, State Govt departments and national level organisations are looking for sharing ideas, solutions and learning in terms of best practices in urban project formulation and implementation, in their search for implementable, replicable and smart urban solutions.

HUDCO, in line with its mission and vision to Housing and Infrastructure sector, encourages and gives recognition to the best practices in various urban development related sectors throughout the country through its “HUDCO Awards for Best Practices in Living Environment”. The awards are judged by an inde-pendent jury, comprising of eminent professionals from housing and urban development sectors. The Hu-man Settlement management Institute, (HSMI), the Research and Training arm of HUDCO, has prepared the compendium of the winning entries and other entries received for this Award.

These awards were announced in October 2015, and entries were invited from various stakeholders through our network of Regional Offices in seven categories; viz. (i) Urban Governance; (ii) Housing, Urban Poverty & Infrastructure; (iii) Urban Transport; (iv) Environment Management, Energy Conserva-tion & Green Building; (v) Sanitation; (vi) Urban Design & Regional Planning, Inner City Revitalization & Conservation; and (vii) Disaster Preparedness, Mitigation & Rehabilitation. Awards for the year 2015-16 were presented to 8 winning organizations, including one joint award, on HUDCO’s Annual Day function held on 25th April 2016.

This intervention is to bring together different practices prevalent at various levels of governments and private enterprises, involved in housing and urban development activities in India, on a single platform. This effort of HUDCO’s HSMI in bringing out this compendium will enhance the knowledge base of many organizations and encourage them in replicating the same, for bringing improvements in the approach, delivery and management of various projects in our country. I am confident that these best practices will be useful and fulfil the purpose of raising awareness among policymakers, experts, practitioners and public at large.

SUMMARY

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) is a massive city modernization scheme launched by the Government of India. The scheme was officially inaugurated by the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh on 3rd December, 2005 as a programme meant to improve the quality of life and infrastructure in the cities.

JNNURM is a huge mission which relates primarily to development in the context of urban conglomerates focusing to the Indian cities. JNNURM aims at creating ‘economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive Cities’ by a strategy of upgrading the social and economic infrastructure in cities, provision of Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP) and wide-ranging urban sector reforms to strengthen municipal governance.

Slum Rehabilitation Programme is being implemented by the Chandigarh Housing Board. The project aims at providing hygienic and better living to 23841 slum dwellers spread over 18 notified slums in the City. The two Sub Schemes namely ‘Construction of 6368 Small Flats Phase-I’ & ‘Construction of 19360 Small Flats Phase-Il’ approved by the Government of India under JNNURM. Revised three DPRs for Phase I, Phase II & Phase III amounting to Rs 1021.48 Crore

were approved by GOI in February, 2012. With the construction of 25728 Small Flats under the scheme, the city of Chandigarh will become a Slum Free City.

June 2016. Construction of 4960 Small flats at Maloya-I started.


SITUATION BEFORE THE INITIATIVE

The Chandigarh Administration undertook several rehabilitation programmes to provide better living conditions to the bulk of the slum population. During year 1970, a survey was conducted to determine the extent of jhuggies and the number of jhuggies was placed at 4454. This number increased to 8003 by 1974. In year 1975, Chandigarh Administration, promulgated a scheme to rehabilitate slum dwellers Tenements were constructed in Sector 26, Sector 29, Sector 30, Sector 32 and Sector 38 to rehabilitate these slum dwellers.

by offering them alternative sites and tenements. One Room Tenements were constructed in various sectors to rehabilitate these slum dwellers. Chandigarh Administration entrusted the task of rehabilitating the slum dwellers to Chandigarh Housing Board ( CHB) in year 1976. The Board has since been taking up rehabilitation programmes from time to time and has so far catered to the needs of 35554 families by providing EWS units, One Room Tenements and Sites & Services.

ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES

The houses constructed under the earlier rehabilitation programmes were provided to the slum dwellers at highly subsidized prices. With the result, many beneficiaries sold the houses in the market at premium and went back to the slums. A course correction therefore was felt necessary in the existing Slum Rehabilitation Programme.

Chandigarh Administration decided to provide accommodation (in the form of one room flats) on license fee basis to the slum dwellers. Based on the

socioeconomic survey conducted by IDFC, the paying capacity of slum dwellers has been estimated at Rs 1,000/- p.m. In order to ensure that there is no future encroachment on Government land, it has been decided that any family which has not been included in the bio-metric survey shall not be eligible to get a housing unit under this programme.

With these aims in view, the ‘Chandigarh Small Flats Scheme- 2006’ was notified by the Chandigarh Administration


FORMULATION OF OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

The Chandigarh Housing Board was designated as the implementing agency to undertake the task of making the city slum free with innovative and sustainable housing, so that the slum dwellers post rehabilitation live a dignified life. To implement this ambitious slum rehabilitation programme, the UT Administration finalized a project under the Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP) component of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mis School at Dhanas Government health centre at Dhanas

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE SCHEME

The Scheme envisage for providing Affordable housing, Services to Poor, Improved service delivery initiatives, Education and Health.

i. The dwelling unit shall not be allotted on ownership basis but on license fee basis (Rs 800 /- per month). This will check the existing practice of selling the site / dwelling unit in the market and then going back to the slums.

ii. The option of ownership on payment of balance amount will be given to the beneficiary after a period of twenty years. This will ensure that only genuine allottees under the scheme are provided property rights.

iii. Recognizing the community oriented life style to which the beneficiaries are normally accustomed, the layout adopts the street interface approach with a common front court.

iv. The policy recognizes the need to minimize the

extent of geographical dislocation. Therefore where ever possible, the families are being rehabilitated on land near their present habitations.

v. Development of dwelling unit is planned in such a way so that there are no incidental spaces, leaving no scope or possibility of violations and / or unauthorized occupation of govt land.

vi. Development will include large chunks of open areas and parks along with all supporting infrastructure of health care, education, shopping community centre etc.

vii. Each dwelling unit to have individual water, electricity and sewer connection.

viii. For creating a reliable and dependable data base for allotments and all future management of the scheme, biometric identification of the beneficiaries will be resorted to.


MOBILIZATION OF RESOURCES

Chandigarh Housing Board is the nodal agency for the implementation of the Chandigarh Small Flats Scheme for construction of 25728 Small Flats. All related work pertaining to the implementation of the scheme right from preparation of DPRs, tender documents, cost estimates, processing of tenders etc. was undertaken in house.

The works under the scheme are being implemented through a transparent tendering process. For this scheme Rs 436.30 has been approved by the Govt. of India under JNNURM and Rs 585.18 Crore is being provided by the Chandigarh Administration as State Share.

PROCESS

↔ Some of the greatest challenge for the Administration had been to make the slum dwellers adapt to new lifestyle which primarily included paying the rent regularly, not misusing the premises for commercial activities or sub-letting or reselling and motivating them for paying the electricity / Water, which they were accustomed of availing free-of-cost in slums through unfair means. In allotment of these dwelling units, care has been taken to make both husband and wife as joint owner of the dwelling

↔ Change in Mode of Allotment

Every allotment is now being done on affordable monthly license fee basis with the option of owning the house after twenty years.

↔ Deploying of IT for Effective Management

Detailed bio-metric survey of the 18 notified slum colonies helped ascertain exact number of families living there, which included digital photograph of the family and electronically captured thumb and finger impressions of the head of the family.

↔ Simplification of Procedures

Allotment done on-the-spot through a camp on site in the presence of officials (Chandigarh Housing Board, Estate Office Chandigarh, Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh, Engineering Department, Chandigarh, A scheduled commercial bank, Notary public). This has helped reduce time, money and efforts.

↔ Simplification of Forms

i. A simple one page application form is devised with no attachments, enclosures or proofs

ii. Single page allotment letter, possession slip, and license deed simplified the process time.

↔ Relocation plan

i. Scientifically prepared detailed relocation plan prepared to minimize dislocation and intimated well in advance to eliminate any element of surprise

ii. Land freed from slums secured and put to optimal use.

Door-to-door campaignswere conducted. JMC joinedhands with religious institutions and appealed to thecommunities to construct toilets and use them. TheGovernment of India provides a financial incentiveof Rs. 4,000 per household as per the guidelines ofSwachh Bharat Mission (SBM). The Government ofGujarat provides an additional incentive of Rs.8,000undertheMGSM.

While no direct financial implication was incurred by theAMC,theyhadprovidedanFSI/TDRequaltothecostofconstruction to thedeveloper,whichwouldhaveotherwisebeenchargeable.SincetheseslumswereonAMCland,thelandwasgivenfreebytheAMCtowardstheproject.

Theprocesswas initiatedbyconductingasocioeconomicsurvey of the existing slums in the city: 691 slums with1,62,749 households were enlisted in the socio economicsurvey, complete with total station maps and final plotsdelineated, following which builders were invited to putproposals for specific slum pockets. They were alsoencouraged to collaborate with NGO’s for facilitating aminimumconsentofseventy-fivepercentoftheresidentsofeachindividualpocket.

The slum dwellers then registered a housing cooperativeandpasseda resolution to appoint the developer for theirparticular slum. These processes were facilitated by theNGOpartner,ensuringapresenceofwomenrepresentativesonthecommittee.

The developer then, drewup the plan, as per the relaxeddevelopment control regulation, subsequent to whichclearance was sought from the SRC to begin projectimplementation.
