City Development Plan for Gaya: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview
Gaya is a town of ancient historical significance and finds mention in texts dating back to 600 BC.
Gaya was projected to the world by Bimbisara the Fifth of the Sisunaga dynasty who lived and ruled
around 519 BC. Gaya finds mention in the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Lord Rama is
said to have visited Gaya along with Sita and Lakshman to offer ‘pind-dan’ to his father. The
Mahabharata refers to the city as Gayapuri.

Location of Gaya District

Gaya is located in south central Bihar on the banks of the River Falgu 13km to the north of Bodhgaya
and 120 km south of Patna. Gaya is well connected to Patna via NH 83; to Aurangabad, Sasaram and
Delhi by NH 2 and to Kolkata by SH 8 and NH 2. Gaya is the second most important railway junction
in the state after Patna. It has an international airport catering to tourists from Sri Lanka, Thailand,
Singapore and Bhutan.
Gaya is a Municipal Corporation with an area of 50.17 sq km. It is divided into 53 wards and had a
population of 3,89,192 (Census 2001). The gross population density of the town is 78 persons per
hectare.

The competitive advantage of Gaya lies is in its

good connectivity. The town has several National
and State Highways that support its connectivity to
other parts of the state and region. Gaya also has
an international airport and serves as a gateway to
religious tourism.
Gaya is surrounded by hills on three sides –
Mangala Gauri, Shringa Sthan, Ramshila and
Brahmayoni – and the River Falgu forming the
fourth natural boundary. Gaya is an important
place of Hindu tourism for ‘pind-dan’ and sees a
huge influx of tourists for the month long ‘Pitra
Paksh’ mela annually.

City Development Plan for Gaya: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CITY VISION
The vision for Gaya was derived on the basis of the status assessment of the city, stakeholder
consultations and focused group discussions. Participatory consultations during the visioning
process concluded that there is need to revive growth and improve the overall quality of life
of its citizens. The identified Vision is as follows: “To develop Gaya as a regional service
centre with well-defined hierarchical commercial centres and as a pilgrimage and leisure
destination with thriving sustained economy supported by quality physical and social
infrastructure for its citizenry and visiting tourists.” The identified vision forms the basis of
sector-specific strategies adopted in framing the action plan. The CDP focuses the following
sectors - water supply; sewerage & sanitation; storm water drainage; solid waste
management; roads, traffic & transportation; street lighting; urban poverty & housing; urban
heritage & tourism; and urban environment & social amenities.

Demography
Gaya’s growth has been largely an outcome of its position as the leading town in the region. Gaya’s
connectivity to the neighboring towns and villages also contributed to its development into a
regional centre for trade and commerce. The average growth rate of the population in the period
1961 – 2001 has been between 18-37%. The highest growth rate in the last ten decades was in the
period 1971-1981 at 37.4%. Thereafter, the rate has shown a marginal decline to 33.4% in the
decade 1991-2001. This fluctuating growth rate may be due to the migration from surrounding
villages linked to economic possibilities in the town.
Based on population figures
from Census 1961 to 2001, a
population projection has been
done using three different
methods namely Arithmetic
Increase Method, Geometric
Increase Method and
Incremental Increase Method.
The estimated population using
the Incremental Increase
Method has been adopted for
planning purposes in this CDP
on account of its greater
alliance with ground realities.
The estimated projection shows that the population of Gaya will increase to about 7.03 lakhs
(approx.) by year 2030.

Capital Investment Plan (CIP)

The total funding over the life of the CDP period, i.e. up to year 2030, is estimated at Rs. 933.03
crore. Sector-wise details of the investments have been defined for the entire period.
The scheduling or phasing of the CIP is based on the analysis of fiscal resources for new investments
and O&M, technical capacity for construction and the choice of specific improvements to be taken
up over the CDP period. About 31% of the capital investment estimate is envisaged for roads and
transportation; 15% for sewerage and sanitation and 15% for water supply.

City Development Plan for Gaya: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Financial Operating Plan (FOP)

The investment capacity of the Gaya Municipal Corporation is assessed through a Financial
Operating Plan (FOP) that gives a multi-year forecast of finances of the local body for the short term
period. The FOP is generated to assess the investment-sustaining capacity of the ULB, if it adopts a
project funding structure comprising grants with internal resources and loans accounting for the
rest. The level of investment that the ULB can sustain is then determined by studying the overall
surpluses/year-to-year opening balance and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).
An important aspect that needs to be considered in raising financial resources is beneficiary
contribution. This practice has to be promoted and the concept of PPP also needs to be introduced
to make the services sustainable. Thus a total investment of Rs. 603.50 crores in the short-term
(2011-12 – 2015-16) can be pooled by implementing PPP – this further decreases the financial
burden of the ULB in the next five years.

The FOP assumes that in the short term:

 At least 10% contribution of the overall fund requirement will be from the ULB
 Rs. 0.50 crores (Sewerage and Sanitation) for public toilets will be through PPP
 Rs. 7.90 crores (Solid Waste Management) towards vehicles and equipments will be through PPP
 Rs. 89.00 crores (Roads and Transportation) towards upgradation of bus terminal, construction of
truck terminal and parking lots will be through PPP
The key considerations for the FOP are:
 At least 10% of the overall fund requirement will be from the ULB therefore, stringent steps and
interventions are required to enhance its ‘own’ resource base
 It is assumed that in cases where funding other than state government will be available (could be
loans from financial institutions, central government, other funded programmes), there will be
part contribution from the state government and the ULB will contribute at least 10%
 Emphasis to be on developing projects on PPP wherever possible
