Slum, Poverty and Livelihood Profiles

1. Introduction

1.1 The National Buildings Organization (NBO) has been functioning as an apex
organization in the country for collection, tabulation and dissemination of statistical
information on housing and building construction activities. Having regard to the changing
requirements under various socio-economic and statistical functions connected with
housing, construction, slum development, urban poverty alleviation and related activities,
and also to ensure that the schemes of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation
(MoHUPA) are supported with appropriate database, MIS and knowledge inputs, the
National Buildings Organization was restructured in March 2006.

1.2 The restructuring has assumed special significance in the context of the Jawaharlal
Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), launched on 3rd December 2005.
JNNURM is the single largest initiative ever launched in the country to address the issues
of urban infrastructure and basic services to the urban poor. The Mission will be implemented
over a period of 7 years (2005-2012). The Government of India has committed Additional
Central Assistance to States to the tune of Rs.50,000 Crore. The National Buildings
Organisation is designated by MoHUPA as the nodal agency for coordination of appraisal,
sanction, monitoring and review of projects under Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP)
and Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) components of
JNNURM.

1.3 In view of the restructured role of NBO and the launching of JNNURM, it has been
decided that NBO will coordinate the conduct of various types of socio-economic surveys
required for the effective implementation of JNNURM and other urban poverty alleviation
programmes and preparation of statistical profiles on aspects relating to urban poverty,
slums, housing, construction, projects taken up under JNNURM etc. at State and National
levels.

2. Imperatives of JNNURM

2.1 JNNURM comprises two broad segments, namely (i) the Sub-Mission on Urban
Infrastructure and Governance and (ii) the Sub-Mission on Basic Services to the Urban
Poor (BSUP) covering 63 identified mega, metro, capital and cities of heritage and
historical importance. The other cities and towns in the country are covered under the
Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP). The Ministry of Housing
& Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) is the nodal Ministry for BSUP and IHSDP which
cater to housing and basic amenities for the urban poor, especially slum dwellers.

(1)
 National Buildings Organization

2.2 The Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) and Integrated Housing & Slum
Development Programme (IHSDP) aim at the integrated provision of the following basic
amenities and services to the urban poor and slum-dwellers:

§ Security of tenure at affordable prices;

§ Improved housing;
§ Water supply;
§ Sanitation;
§ Education;
§ Health; and
§ Social security.

Education, health and social security are to be provided through convergence of existing
universal services of the Government. Care should be taken to see that the urban poor are
provided housing near their place of occupation. Securing effective linkages between
asset creation and asset management is a must to ensure optimal outcomes from the use
of JNNURM and other resources.

2.3 JNNURM aims at achieving the following outcomes at the end of the Mission period
by the Urban Local Bodies:
• Modern and transparent budgeting, accounting, financial management systems,
designed and adopted for all urban services and governance functions;
• City-wide framework for planning and governance will be established and become
operational;
• All urban poor people will have access to a basic level of urban services;
• Financially self-sustaining agencies for urban governance and service delivery will
be established, through reforms to major revenue instruments;
• Local services and governance will be conducted in a manner that is transparent
and accountable to citizens;
• e-Governance applications will be introduced in core functions of ULBs resulting in
reduced cost and time of service delivery processes.

2.4 Governance reforms are central to successful implementation of JNNURM. Linked

to Government of India’s support to States, they are based on an enabling strategy. JNNURM
envisages a series of reforms at the State and Urban Local Body levels to address issues
of urban governance with a view to providing basic amenities to the poor in a sustainable
manner. BSUP and IHSDP contemplate the following three key reforms in areas of pro-
poor governance:

• Earmarking at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing projects (both public
and private Agencies) for EWS/LIG category with a system of cross-subsidization;
(2)
 Formats and Guidelines

• Implementation of 7-Popint Charter, i.e. provision of basic services to urban poor

including security of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply,
sanitation and ensuring delivery of already existing universal services of the
Government for education, health and social security within the Mission period as
per agreed timelines; and

• Internal earmarking within local body budgets for basic services to the urban poor,
eventually leading to the establishment of Basic Services to the Urban Poor Fund;
and

These reforms are to be undertaken in conjunction with other reforms aimed at creating
an enabling framework for good urban governance for the sustainable development and
effective management of cities and towns and eradication of urban poverty.

2.5 The essence of the above reforms are: (i) the urban poor should be enabled to
have access to land and not squeezed out of land market in the face of sky-rocketing land
prices; (ii) all basic services have to be provided to the urban poor based on agreed
milestones and deliberately planned efforts to develop “inclusive” cities; and (iii) a dedicated
budget/fund be created at the city/state level to ensure steady flow of resources for urban
poverty alleviation and slum upgradation, including provision of land and housing to the
poor.

2.6 JNNURM provides a new hope for the urban poor, including slum-dwellers and
disadvantaged sections of the urban society. The 11th Five Year Plan has adopted inclusive
growth as the new paradigm of development in the country for the next 5 years. The Plan
recognizes that economic growth must include focus on employment, income generation
and inclusion of the poor to be sustainable. In the context of achieving the goal of inclusive
growth, reforms are emphasized at the State and Urban Local Body levels under JNNURM
to plan and achieve a vision of “inclusive” cities. The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty
Alleviation has already launched a national campaign for slum-free and poverty-free cities/
towns under which every city/town would prepare and implement a time-bound action plan
for the provision of basic minimum amenities and affordable housing to the urban poor.
.
2.7 JNNURM and programmes for urban poverty alleviation such as Swarna Jayanti
Shahari Rozgar Yojana have to be implemented in convergence with other Government of
India initiatives. The issues of quality healthcare, primary education, social security and
the like will have to be addressed in conjunction with the provision of basic physical
amenities in slums and low-income settlements by converging programmes to reduce
urban poverty with the schemes of Health Mission, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Aam Aadmi
Bima Yojana, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, Prime Minister’s Employment Generation
Programme etc. Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has addressed all the State Chief Ministers
in the country to accord priority to improving the conditions of the poor in cities and towns.
Hon’ble Minister for Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation has also written to Chief Ministers
of all States in the country to develop vision of Slum-free Cities and Towns, design and
implement a time-bound action plan to provide all basic services to the urban poor in
each city/town. The preparation of municipal level action plans will require a considerable
amount of data. (3)

3. Survey Objectives

3.1 The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA), along with its
attached office, namely the National Buildings Organization, are engaged in design,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation (DIME) of a variety of programmes and schemes
pertaining to urban poverty alleviation. The advent of JNNURM has led to a realization that
the data base for undertaking such a huge programme like JNNURM is grossly inadequate.
JNNURM calls for the preparation of City Development Plans (CDPs) and meaningful
development of CDPs requires a strong data base. In the absence of adequate and reliable
data, the CDPs of cities and towns already prepared after the launching of JNNURM have
not adequately addressed the concerns of the urban poor, especially slum-dwellers. The
Ministry of Urban Development and the Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation
are currently undertaking an exercise for the preparation of second-generation CDPs.

3.2 For the effective implementation of JNNURM and other programmes like Swarna
Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), a large amount of data pertaining to the state of
urban poverty and slums in various parts of the country needs to be collected. Given the
enormity of the Mission and the magnitude of the issues posed by the multiple dimensions
urban poverty in India, a need is perceived to systematize the data collected for effective
design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of schemes. The data is also proposed
to strengthen the central statistical systems pertaining to urban poverty, slums and housing
for a better understanding of the issues for dissemination at local, provincial, national and
international levels.

3.3 The implementation of both projects and reforms under JNNURM calls for support
to Central and State Governments and Urban Local Bodies by way of data base, MIS,
action research and capacity building. There is a need for the development of a national
information system and knowledge base with focus on urban poverty for the purpose of
planning, policy-making, project formulation, implementation, monitoring and review,
especially in the areas of slum development, provision of basic services to the poor, and
affordable housing. This is in consonance with the objective of the 11th Five Year Plan
which has adopted ‘inclusive growth’ as the key development paradigm for the country.

3.4 It is essential that for statistical, administrative and other reasons, the data relating
to urban poverty, slums, livelihoods, delivery of civic amenities and housing to the poor
are collected and collated at a single source. State Governments and Urban Local Bodies
have been conducting their own surveys and maintaining data base. However, such data
lacks broad uniformity across the country.

3.5 In this background, it has been decided to provide part financial support to the
State Governments/ULBs for the development of Slums, Urban Poverty and Livelihoods
Profiles including socio-economic surveys under the 1% JNNURM funds and Plan Scheme
of Urban Statistics for HR & Assessments (USHA), being implemented by NBO.

4. Role and Responsibility of ULBs

4.1 The specific role and responsibility of the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will include,
but not be limited to:
a. Preparation of work plan, design and development of survey.
b. Work plan must clearly indicate tangible deliverables from each of the tasks assigned
along with the time frame.
c. Seeking validation and approval of competent authority of the State Government/
SLNA.
d. Quality assurance and testing of datasets created using approved formats, including
sampling size, criteria, coverage and measure of representative nature of sample,
logical strength of findings, exceptions etc.
e. Maintenance of the data base on slum, poverty and livelihood profiles.
f. Facilitate processes to ensure that the requirements of urban poor are adequately
reflected with supporting database in the City Development Plans (CDPs) prepared
by the city.
g. Facilitate processes to ensure that the requirements of urban poor are adequately
reflected with supporting database in the DPRs prepared by cities under JNNURM
(BSUP & IHSDP).
h. Management of funds received from Central and State Government for the purpose
i. Submission of utilization certificates in the format as prescribed by the Ministry

4.2 The formats of the slum, poverty and livelihood profiles to be undertaken by the
ULBs are annexed.

5. Financing Pattern & Eligibility Criteria

5.1 National Buildings Organisation, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation
will provide a one time grant-in-aid for the development of slums, urban poverty and
livelihoods profiles including socio-economic surveys to the State Governments / Municipal
Corporations, Municipalities and District Administration selected for Basic Services to
Urban Poor (BSUP) and Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP)
in this First Round of National Survey. This one-time grant to State Governments / UT
Administrations will be at the following scales:

• Rs.10 lakhs per city for cities with population more than 4 million,
• Rs. 7 lakhs per city with population between 1 and 4 million,
• Rs.5 lakhs per city for cities with population between 5 lakh and 1 million,

(5)
 National Buildings Organization

• Rs.3 lakhs per city for cities with population between 1 lakh and 5 lakhs and
• Rs.2 lakhs per city for cities with population less than 1 lakh

5.2 The costs will be fully met under Urban Statistics for HR & Assessments (USHA)
scheme being implemented by NBO. Additional amounts, required if any, will have to be
met by State Governments/Urban Local Bodies which have been undertaking surveys
from time to time with their own funds – without any support from the Government of India
so far. The present support under USHA is meant to incentivise the development of a
national information system.

6. Selection of Cities

State Government will be supported for the development of slum, urban poverty
and livelihoods profiles for all the 63 identified cities under JNNURM (BSUP) and other
cities/towns covered under IHSDP as selected by the State Governments, in a phased
manner. The selection will be made by the State Level Nodal Agency for JNNURM/
Department dealing with Municipalities. In case of States where the nodal agency is located
outside the Municipal Administration/Local Governments, coordination is a must with the
Department dealing with Urban Local Bodies.

7. Components Admissible

7.1 The support from Ministry for the ULBs/District Administration (in case of States
which are implementing JNNURM projects with agencies other than Urban Local Bodies)
would be limited to:

– Development of Slum Profile

– Development of Urban Poverty Profile
– Development of Livelihoods profiles
(including socio-economic surveys).

7.2 The following items are ineligible for support from NBO under USHA:

– Capital expenditure on equipment like computers, photo copier, telephone etc.

– Construction / renovation of office space / office furniture
– Purchase of vehicles
– Regular salary.

The above items and other administrative costs will have to be borne by the State
Government/Urban Local Body concerned.

8. General Instructions

8.1 The State Department in charge of Municipalities/ Urban Local Bodies or State
Level Nodal Agency for JNNURM (BSUP/IHSDP) will coordinate the conduct of slum/
poverty/livelihood surveys in cities and towns. In case the SLNA is located in a Department
other than that dealing with Urban Local Bodies, a coordination mechanism should be in
place with the assignment of a central role to the Urban Local Bodies (ULB). Every City/
Town covered under the survey will designate a Nodal Cell (drawing personnel from Urban
Community Development departments) for the purpose of survey with a team of supervisors
headed by the Municipal Commissioner / Chief Executive of the City/Town. The resource
persons engaged under the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) / UPA Cell in the ULB could
be assigned the tasks of conducting training programmes / administering the surveys and
providing technical support to the team. At the Central level, Director (NBO) will be the
overall in charge officer for the conduct of the three surveys across the country. At the State
level, the concerned Nodal Agency / Department will identify a senior officer who will be in
charge of coordinating with Director (NBO) and guiding the conduct of surveys in the
State, compiling survey information and sending the required details to the Government of
India. The Municipal Commissioner / Chief Executive of the city will be responsible for the
actual conduct of surveys at the city/town level.

8.2 The survey should be participatory duly involving community structures like NHGs,
NHCs & CDS and reputed NGOs working in the area.

8.3 Each supervisor will head a team consisting of 5-10 investigators/ surveyors
depending upon the population and area to be covered for the survey. The supervisor will
be responsible for timely and accurate canvassing of schedules and will frequently visit
the field for random inspections. It shall be the duty of the supervisor to scrutinize the
information collected by the investigators and make the necessary corrections, if any.
Once vetted/approved by the supervisor, the PIU / UPA cell/nodal cell in the municipal
authority will compile the information recorded in the schedule.
