Nagpur City Development Plan
Maharashtra is one of India’s most progressive states and is seen as the preferred
destination for investment in industry and business. The state is endowed with many
natural resources, strategic locations and enterprising human capital. The information,
communications, tele-communications, entertainment, light engineering and
manufacturing sectors are of particular significance to Maharashtra.
The city of Nagpur, famously known as the orange city, has always been an important
administration centre. Though situated at an advantageous geographical location, the
city’s economic development has been constrained by the limited development of the
hinterland of Central India. However, with technological developments and the overall
development of Central India, the scenario is set to change. The city’s location, coupled
with growth triggers like the construction of the north-south and east-west corridors, the
proposed investments in the multimodal transport hub and the development of the special
economic zone promise to stimulate the city’s economic growth. The Jawaharlal Nehru
National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) provides an impetus to the development
of Nagpur’s burgeoning economy.
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation provides core civic services, which form the base of
the economic development of any city. The City Development Plan, prepared by the
Corporation, unfolds the vision for the growth of Nagpur into an eco-city that provides
adequate, equitable, and sustainable access of urban services to all its citizens and also
ensures that the city is safe and liveable. Besides, the Plan also identifies specific strategies
and actions to realise this vision.
I would like to commend the Nagpur Municipal Corporation and the citizens of Nagpur
for jointly evolving this comprehensive and inspiring Plan for the city. Nagpur is one of
the first city in the country to be granted funding under JNNURM. I congratulate the
Corporation on achieving this difficult feat. I wish the Corporation all success in
implementing this Plan and hope that the citizens of Nagpur will wholeheartedly support
the Corporation’s efforts in realising this great vision.

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
Located at practically the geographical centre of India, the city of Nagpur enjoys the
status of a capital city in the state of Maharashtra. It completed 300 years of establishment
in 2002. Despite being an important administration centre and favourably situated, Nagpur
has not seen the expected economic development due to the limited development of the
hinterland of Central India. However, rapid technological developments are taking place
in the hinterland of Central India and this promises well for the flowering of Nagpur’s
economy.
Nagpur measures well on various liveability indices in comparison with other cities.
The city has all the requisites for being groomed into a high quality service centre. The
large number of engineering colleges in the city make it an attractive location for the IT-
ITES industries. Also, its geographical location makes Nagpur ideal for being developed
into a passenger and cargo hub. However, the realisation of the city’s full potential is
crucially dependent on the up gradation of its basic infrastructure services. The Jawaharlal
Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) provides an impetus to this
development.
As a mandatory requirement of the Mission, the City Development Plan has been prepared
by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation in consultation with its citizens. The citizens of
Nagpur have identified a vision for the city — to make it the “Growth Nucleus of India”.
The Plan specifies strategies and actions to achieve this vision.
Nagpur has been the first city in India to be granted funds under JNNURM. The high
commitment and determined efforts of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation officials, along
with the spirited support of the citizens, have brought about this success. I wish the
Corporation and the citizens all luck in moving towards this noble vision for Nagpur. I
also assure them of my support to this ambitious endeavour.

The city of Nagpur has always enjoyed the status of a capital city and that continues till
date. The city is located at practically the geographical centre of India and is strategically
positioned on national and international railway and aviation routes. Its unique location
makes it a logical and appropriate location for being developed into a passenger and
cargo hub. Nagpur also has the potential to be developed into a significant medical hub,
tourism gateway to the hinterland and a power generation centre for the region. The
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), launched by the
Government of India in FY2005-2006, provides an opportunity to the city to close the
widening gap between the existing and desirable levels of service delivery.
The City Development Plan (CDP) has been prepared by the Nagpur Municipal
Corporation as a mandatory step to access funds under JNNURM. It is the Corporation’s
strategy that presents the vision for the city, the action plans to achieve the same, the
financial sustainability of the Corporation, and the investments needed for achieving the
vision. The CDP has been prepared in close consultation with the citizens of the city.
Their views were continuously solicited through newspaper articles, essay writing
competitions, surveys, interviews, workshops and discussions. The involvement of the
stakeholders helped to foster a sense of ownership of the Plan amongst the citizens.
I would like to congratulate the Corporation and the citizens of Nagpur for evolving this
comprehensive blueprint for the city. I sincerely acknowledge their efforts and wish
them success in the implementation of the same.

I am extremely pleased to present the City Development Plan to the citizens of Nagpur.
The citizens have always been aware and sensitive to the various problems faced by the
city. It is their active participation that has made the exercise done by the Nagpur
Municipal Corporation in the formulation of the City Development Plan unique. The
process involved the participation of business groups, NGOs, trade associations, school
children and citizens at large through workshops, surveys, newspaper articles, interviews,
essay writing competition, emails and “CDP suggestion boxes”.
The City Development Plan for Nagpur deals in a comprehensive, cohesive and concise
manner and consciously dwells on all the important elements of governance in the form
of themes: land use and housing, urban basic services and infrastructure, transportation
and traffic management, slums and urban poor, urban environment, culture and heritage,
and urban finance apart from demographic trends, local economy pattern, etc with a
long term strategic vision. The citizens’ vision is to make Nagpur the Growth Nucleus
of Central lndia.
I believe that this effort of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation will give a vision to the
institution which it can realise. I expect the citizens of Nagpur to significantly contribute
to this change which they will ultimately benefit from. This plan helps us to quantitatively
assess the development of the city and gives us a direction in which all our efforts can be
focussed. I hope the active citizens of Nagpur will appreciate this and contribute to our
endeavour of making this city one of the leading cities of our country.

Nagpur is the winter capital of Maharashtra. With a population of about 20.5 lakhs, the
city stands to be an important administrative centre with an advantageous geographical
location. It can be seen as a transport hub, connecting the Indian cities to each other and
international destinations as well. The city provides access to its own skilled manpower
and also to that of the entire region. The city has all the ingredients for emerging as a
high quality service centre.
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation, being the local body engaged in providing basic
civic amenities to the citizens, plays a crucial role in improving the economic and social
infrastructure of the city. The Corporation, with good support from its officials, elected
representatives and citizens, has always been in the forefront of accepting and
implementing various contemporary ideas and developmental works.
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) provides an

opportunity to the Municipal Corporation to fill the increasing gap between existing and
desired service deliveries, even as the pressure on urban infrastructure mounts. It is a
stepping stone to achieve improvements in service delivery, governance and financial
sustainability. The City Development Plan (CDP) is a mandatory requirement for
accessing the JNNURM funds. The CDP prepared by the Corporation with the continuous
involvement of the citizens paves the way for achieving the vision of making Nagpur
the “Growth Nucleus of Central India.” The citizens of Nagpur visualize the city to be
an eco-city that provides adequate, equitable, sustainable access to urban services to all
its citizens and at the same time ensures that it is safe and liveable.
This plan is the Municipal Corporation’s corporate strategy that presents both a vision
of a desired future perspective of the city and the Corporation’s organisation, and mission
statements on how the Corporation, along with the citizens, intends to work towards
achieving the long-term vision in the next five years. It has been developed in close
consultation with NMC officials, business groups, trade associations, citizens’ clubs,
NGOs and citizens at large over 13 weeks starting from mid-January 2006. The Action
Plan formulated in line with the findings of this report will start showing its effects in
due course of time. We sincerely believe this would lead to the betterment of service
quality in the city.
It is indeed gratifying that the citizens have provided their continuous support and valuable
time in the formulation of the CDP. I would sincerely like to acknowledge the efforts of
all the citizens and the concerned staff of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. I am
pleased to place the City Development Plan before the citizens of Nagpur.

Though one of the main aims of JNNURM is to finance
the infrastructure investments identified as part of CDP,
the larger objective of the mission is to initiate much-needed
reforms in ULBs.
Reform agenda for Nagpur

JNNURM specifies that in order to avail of its funding,
the State Government and the urban local bodies (ULBs)
have to execute a range of reforms. The proposed reforms
fall into two categories: Mandatory Reforms and Optional
Reforms.

separate head in the budget.
Provision of basic services to the urban poor NMC provides education through schools and health
services through primary health care centres to the
urban poor. Access to basic services in slums is
provided through various schemes of NMC, and slum
upgradation programs are undertaken under the aegis
of SRA. In addition, NMC also undertakes

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The cities and towns in India are expected to play a vital role in the country’s socio-economic
transformation, as the engines of economic growth and the centre-points of innovation. But
the current state of affairs in most of our urban areas is far from satisfactory on all parameters
of urban governance. Most municipalities are starved of resources on account of their
inability to effectively use their revenue-raising powers.
Given this state of affairs, the Government of India launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) in FY 2005-06. The mission will be in place for the next
seven years; it aims at creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive
cities. The Mission focuses on the development of appropriate enabling frameworks,
enhancement of the creditworthiness of municipal governments and integration of the urban
poor with the service delivery systems.
In order to be eligible for grant assistance under JNNURM, the Government of India requires
eligible cities to formulate a medium-term City Development Plan (CDP) in alignment with
citizens’ interest and priorities, prepare project proposals in accordance with the CDP, and
draw up a timeline for implementing urban sector reforms. The Indo-US FIRE (D-III) project
has selected Nagpur as one of the pilot cities to formulate the CDP as per the JNNURM
process. In this context, Indo-US FIRE (D-III) has employed the services of CRISIL
Infrastructure Advisory to facilitate the preparation of the CDP for Nagpur.
The City Development Plan (CDP) is the Municipal Corporation’s corporate strategy that
presents both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and mission statements on
how the Corporation, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving the
vision in the next five years. It should translate the Mission into actions and actions into
outcomes. The objective of involvement of the stakeholders and endorsement by the local
body and other implementing agencies is to hold them accountable for their mission
statements, actions and expected outcomes.
The CDP process adopted by Nagpur
The Nagpur CDP has been developed in close consultation with stakeholders over 13 weeks
starting from mid-January 2006. The process was divided into three phases.
The first phase started with a rapid city-assessment of Nagpur and identification of the city’s
strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. This was followed by several capacity building
sessions for NMC officials, officials of other government departments and groups of
stakeholders including business groups, trade associations, citizens’ clubs and NGOs. The
objective was to inform them about JNNURM and the process of preparing the CDP. In order
to reach out to a larger section of people, workshops were also conducted for representatives
of the press and the electronic media. Suggestions and comments were solicited from citizens
by way of newspaper articles, interviews, essay writing competition among school children,
emails, ‘CDP suggestion boxes’ kept in every NMC ward office and the like.
The vision and mission workshop with NMC officials (first workshop) focused on the key
issues confronting each department, the officials’ vision for the city and an action plan to
realize the vision. As a follow-up to the workshop, several stakeholders were interviewed
1
individually and their ideas for the city’s economic growth and improvement of the quality of
life of its people were sought. Phase I concluded with a workshop (second workshop), in
which NMC officials and stakeholders together carried out a visioning exercise. Participants
were divided into groups, each representing a focus area1. Vision and mission statements
were suggested by each group and action groups were also identified for each mission
statement.
The second phase started with focussed group discussions with stakeholders to define actions
needed to achieve each mission statement. Based on the discussions and experts’ comments,
a draft action plan was prepared. Simultaneously, a citizens’ survey was conducted through
an independent research agency to assess the performance of NMC. The survey also aimed at
assessing citizens’ perception of slums, their suggestions regarding the improvement of
service levels, their willingness to pay for them and finally their vision for the city.
Simultaneously, credit strength assessment of NMC was also done to determine its
creditworthiness and to identify financial reforms required to sustain various investments
proposed by NMC under JNNURM. Phase II concluded with a stakeholders’ workshop (third
workshop) at which the stakeholders refined and prioritised the strategies and action plans for
their respective groups.
The last phase of the CDP preparation process involved assessment of detailed project
costing, determination of funding sources and identification of risk management measures.
Priority actions scheduling was also done for all the prioritized projects/actions based on
resource availability along with the preparation of a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for the
identified projects. The corresponding Financial Operating Plan was also prepared, outlining
the preliminary budget, financing assumptions and responsibilities for implementation and
financing. All these were integrated into a draft CDP and presented in the fourth and last
workshop held on 8th May 2006. The implementation issues relating to the CIP were
discussed at the workshop. Based on the discussions in the workshop, this final CDP
document was prepared.
About Nagpur
Nagpur has always enjoyed the status of a capital city that continues till date; it is the winter
capital of the Maharashtra state. It completed 300 years of establishment in 2002. Nagpur’s
population (Census of India, 2001) is about 20.5 lakhs with an average density of 95 persons
per hectare, which is quite low compared to other comparable cities of India. It is estimated
that one-third of the city’s population lives in slums. There are about 427 slum pockets in the
city spread over an area of about 17 sq. km. Of the 427 slums, 292 slums are notified slums
housing 80% of the slum population.
The population trends of Nagpur city show a declining growth rate over the decades; it has
decreased from 48.3% in 1921-31 to 32.6% in 1991-2001. Based on the linear projection
method, the growth rate may decline to 22.2% in the next three decades (2021-31). The
attractiveness of the city for migrants has also been decreasing. In the last decade (1991-
1
The eight groups were ‘Water supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waste management’, ‘Roads,
traffic and transportation’, ‘Land use and housing’, ‘Urban poor and slum development’, ‘Urban
environment, gardens and conservation of water bodies’, ‘Local economic development’, ‘Education,
health and social infrastructure’ and ‘Tourism, culture and heritage’.

2001), about 46% of the population growth was due to in-migration; in the last four years, the
figure has declined to 24%. But, considering the development projects and investments in the
pipeline, Nagpur’s growth rate may revive and the population may double at a faster pace.
Nagpur needs to plan for its infrastructure accordingly.
Nagpur shows favourable demographic characteristics. The sex ratio in Nagpur is quite
healthy at 936, which nearly equals the all-India figure of 933. About 84% of Nagpur’s
population is literate as per Census 2001. 66 percent of the city’s population is under the age
of 40; the 10-25 year age group forms the largest proportion of the total population. This
offers a valuable resource for economic development of the city. But, at the same time, if not
given optimum opportunities, the tendency to migrate will probably be the highest in this age
bracket.
City with latent economic potential

Though Nagpur is an important administration centre with an advantageous geographical
location, Nagpur’s economic development has been constrained by the limited development
of the hinterland of central India. What has probably held back economic growth in the past
is the lack of priority given to the region by successive state governments. As of April 2000,
the developmental backlog of the region was Rs. 9830 crores.2 However, with technological
developments and overall development of the central hinterland, the scenario is set to change.
Nagpur has all the ingredients for emerging as a high quality service centre. The region
around Nagpur has a large number of engineering colleges with about 8,600 engineering
students graduating every year. This renders Nagpur an attractive location for the IT-ITES
industry3. Nagpur’s unique location also makes it a logical and ideal location for a passenger
and cargo hub given its strategic position in national and international railway and aviation
routes. It may also work on its potential to develop into a significant medical hub, tourism
gateway to the hinterland and a power generation centre for the region.
A possible trigger for Nagpur’s efflorescence is the Multimodal International Hub Airport at
Nagpur (MIHAN) project. Besides an international airport, the proposed project envisages
the creation of a road-rail terminal, a special economic zone (SEZ) and other urban amenities
to meet the needs of the working population in around the proposed airport. The SEZ will
provide the right platform for exploiting the latent economic potential of the city, which has
the potential to create over 1.2 lakhs jobs.
As a part of the preparation of the City Development Plan, an assessment of Nagpur city has
been carried out to understand the city’s present status, the direction in which it has been
moving, and its strengths and weaknesses. The assessment covers the city’s basic
infrastructure (physical and environment), institutional structure and finally, the financial
status of the municipal corporation.

Human Development Report Maharashtra 2002

A Dataquest-IDC study of the top ten IT cites in India ranked Nagpur seventh, based on
parameters such as manpower availability, information, communication and technology
(ICT) infrastructure availability and usage, lifestyle and environment. Also, as per the KPMG
– NASSCOM survey, Nagpur is one of the top four tier II cities that have a huge potential for
information technology and IT enabled services.

3
Assessment of the existing infrastructure and physical environment

The study encompassed all the vital aspects of infrastructure – water supply, sewerage, storm
water drainage, solid waste management, roads and public transport, street lighting,
education, access of slum dwellers to basic services, land use, and lakes and rivers. Here is a
summary of the findings.
Water supply
NMC sources 470 MLD mainly from surface sources. Currently, it meets demand, but with
population growth it may face a deficit situation by 2011. NMC has already started making
plans for augmenting the sources. Post bulk water treatment point, per capita supply of water
is 200 lpcd, which is well above the prescribed norms. Though no figures are available for
actual supply at household level, it is known that treatment and transmission and distribution
losses are very high. Supply is also dissatisfactory in terms of the number of hours of water
supply and water pressure. Overall, the water quality of piped supply is good but that of
ground water sources is unacceptable in terms of hardness, pH and nitrates. The operational
expenses for water supply services have been exceeding the revenues each year.
Sewerage system
The current sewerage system covers only 60% of the city and suffers from frequent problems
of choking and over-flowing. Pumping and treatment facilities are grossly inadequate; out of
235 MLD, only 100 MLD is collected and treated. The system is divided into three zones –
north, south and central. The situation is worse in the north zone. Less than 50% of the
sewage is collected, which is disposed into the rivers without any treatment.
Storm water drainage

The city’s natural drainage pattern is excellent, with suitable topography and a natural
gradient. There are two major natural streams – Nag and Pilli and several connecting nallahs
running across the city. But with construction and man-made alterations, the natural system
has been inadequate and needs to be supplemented by a scientific drainage system. Currently,
only 30-35% of the roads have storm water drains. These also carry sewage and hence often
get choked and flooded. Both coverage and design need to be improved.
Solid waste management

The collection levels of solid waste are good. 75% of the waste is collected through door-to-
door collection services under the ‘Swatchata Doot Aplya Dari’ system, a NGO–NMC
partnership initiative. Contracts for road sweeping have also been given out to NGOs and
private agencies. In spite of several awareness campaigns, the segregation of waste at source
is not practised. Overall, citizens are satisfied with collection services and cleanliness levels.
The main area of concern with respect to solid waste management in Nagpur is the disposal
mechanism; no scientific method of disposal is followed.
Roads and public transport

The Integrated Road Development Project (IRDP) revolutionised the roads in the city, which
now enjoy an excellent status, in terms of both coverage and quality. Vehicle ownership is
quite high; there are 4.6 lakhs registered vehicles and 280 are being added every day. But the
corresponding infrastructure in terms of parking facilities is highly inadequate. Also, the road
conditions being excellent, the average travel speed is quite high at 25 km. per hour making
road safety a cause of concern. Considering the population and spread of the city, the public
transportation system is highly inadequate.

4
Street lighting
Under the Integrated Road Development Project (IRDP), the City Lighting Improvement
Project (CLIP) was introduced for improving street lighting. The corporation has delegated
the entire work of managing the tube lights and other fixtures to various contractors in
different wards. The attempt has been highly successful. Currently, the service levels are
amongst the best performing amongst Indian cities.
Education and medical infrastructure

NMC runs primary schools, which mainly cater to the low-income population. The service
levels and infrastructure of these schools is inadequate. In the last few years, a number of
private educational institutions have sprung up, providing high quality services to the city.
The city also boasts a large number of institutions for higher education, with students coming
from all across the country. About 1250 students are enrolled in the 12 medical colleges and
3192 students are completing their education in the 15 engineering colleges nurtured by the
city.
With respect to medical infrastructure, a large number of government and private facilities
are available across service levels and categories. The city caters to the entire region with
patients coming from neighbouring states. The service levels need to be improved in the
government-run facilities.
Access of slum dwellers to basic services

There are 427 slum pockets in Nagpur housing 40% of its population, with a high growth of
22% in the last eight years. Also, almost 50% of the population was below poverty line in
2005. Exact statistics regarding access to basic services by the urban poor is not available
with NMC, but stakeholder discussions have revealed some of the key issues in this context.
Vulnerability to flooding in low-lying settlements, low ability to pay for basic services,
negligence towards informal sector establishments in the planning process and lack of
consultations with the stakeholders while planning for the urban poor are a few of these. Of
427, 292 slum pockets are notified. Some of these already have good living conditions,
infrastructure and pucca housing. These should be de-notified to ensure focused investments
in the less developed pockets. For slum re-development, slum rehabilitation schemes are
being planned under public-private partnership arrangements.
Land use
The data for the exact land use pattern in NMC limits is not available. As per the
development plan 1986-2011, the proposed land use distribution adheres to UDPFI (Urban
Development Plan Formulation and Implementation) guidelines. Discussions with NMC and
Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) officials reveal that the land demand supply situation is
well-balanced in the city. In terms of FSI, there is a large scope for development in the future.
A similar situation exists in terms of housing stock as well. Implementation and regular
updation of byelaws needs to be done to support the anticipated economic surge.
Urban environment
There are several water bodies in the city including 12 lakes, two rivers and five nallahs.
Though exact data is not available, it has been observed that these water bodies are highly
polluted. Stakeholder consultations have revealed that the lakes are being filled up or
encroached upon, adversely affecting the bio-diversity of the area. NMC/NIT has already
initiated some beautification and recreational projects around the lakes and rejuvenation

5
projects are also being planned. In terms of other forms of pollution, i.e. air and noise
pollution, levels are well within the prescribed limits with a few exceptions.
Assessment of institutional structure of urban governance
As per the City of Nagpur Corporation (CNC) Act, 1948, the key responsibility for providing
basic urban services in Nagpur lies with the NMC. These services include water supply,
sewerage, waste management, slum improvement, land use planning, construction and
maintenance on internal roads, street lighting, maintenance of parks and gardens, and
provision for primary health and education facilities. NMC co-ordinates with various other
government organizations like NIT, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority
(MHADA), Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), traffic police and
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) for delivering these basic urban services.
NMC has also entered into public-private partnership contracts for the delivery of some its
services.
As per the Government of Maharashtra notification, dated 27th February 2001, NMC has been
permitted to exercise the powers of a Planning Authority in the entire area under its
jurisdiction except the areas covered by the seven NIT schemes. Hence, in the current
institutional arrangement, the significance and viability of NIT has become minimal.
Considering this, there is a need to constitute a planning authority for the urban
agglomeration, supported with modern land management legislations.
MSRTC has the responsibility of providing bus transport services in Nagpur. But it has
turned out to be a loss-making operation, which is straining its already fragile financials.
MSRTC is willing to transfer responsibility to NMC, but even NMC does not have the
financial or managerial capacity to provide urban transport services. This has led to
considerable deterioration in service levels in the city.
Assessment of Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s finances
Parallel to the infrastructure and institutional assessments, an evaluation of the financial

status of NMC has also been carried out. The assessment indicates the corporation’s capacity
and ability to manage its financial resources so as to maintain urban services at the prescribed
levels. In 2004-05, NMC’s revenues registered a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of
6.9%, while revenue expenditure increased at a CAGR of 9.0%. But, due to a strong revenue
base, there was a revenue account surplus of Rs.78 crores and an overall surplus of Rs.18.98
crores (including capital account).
Revenue income is earned from own and external sources. Among own sources, the largest
source is octroi (47%) followed by property tax (18%). There is a further scope to improve
revenues under this head by improving the collection efficiency (currently 52%) and
widening the tax base. Establishment cost is the largest item (66%) under revenue
expenditure and is growing at a rate higher than that of revenue income.
In 2004-05, a capital expenditure of Rs. 79 crores was incurred, mainly covering water
supply, public works and roads. The cost recovery of services varies across sectors. In the
case of water, revenue expenditure exceeds revenue income each year, making it financially
unsustainable. Currently, sewerage charges exceed the O&M expense on the sewerage
system. But the current coverage of the system is quite low. As the system expands to cover

6
100% of the city, the current tax rate for sewerage would prove insufficient. For solid waste
management, NMC incurs an expense of Rs. 5.5 per month per household. NMC plans to
recover this gradually from the households.
After completing the rapid assessment of the city’s infrastructure, physical and environmental
aspects, and institutional and financial status, a consultative process was initiated with a
capacity building session for NMC officials and city stakeholders to develop a vision and
strategy for Nagpur’s future developments.
Vision for the city
As a result of workshops and numerous consultations with NMC officials and stakeholders in
Nagpur, the vision for Nagpur is emerging as follows:
… An eco city that provides adequate, equitable, sustainable access to urban services for
all citizens
… A city that is safe, livable and promotes growth of its citizens
The workshops have also indicated that to achieve this vision, NMC would support the theme
of Nagpur attaining a key position in IT, ITES and health services related industries. It would
also support industrialization in its hinterland and promote education, culture and tourism. To
achieve the growth and vision described above, certain mission statements were also defined
for every focus area. Some of the key mission statements are given below:
• 100% coverage in water supply and improved service levels
• 100% coverage in sewerage collection
• Improved road safety and better traffic management through provision of flyovers,
bridges, parking facilities, etc.
• 100% solid waste collection efficiency and disposal of waste in an environmentally
friendly manner
Strategies for achieving Nagpur’s vision
Based on close consultations held with various action groups (identified in the visioning
workshop), a list of strategies was carefully drawn up and prioritised based on expected
outcomes and target group preferences. The strategies related to the areas of local economy,
water supply system, sewerage and storm water drainage system, solid waste management,
roads and public transport, education and medical facilities, slums and urban poor, urban
environment, land use and housing, and culture and heritage. The strategies are summarised
below.
Local economy
Agro-processing, steel and allied industries, textiles, transportation and IT are some of the
industries that can drive the economy of the city and its surrounding regions. The MIHAN
project is expected to galvanise several economic activities in the region and also market the
economic potential latent in the city. NMC also has an important role to play in fostering an
environment, which is conducive to business. It would provide a single window to all

7
business and commercial groups to deal with matters pertaining to various civic services and
approvals, simplify the processes and offer incentives to target industries in the form of lower
octroi and land concessions.
Water supply system

The suggested mission statement for water supply services is “Water for all and 24 x 7
supplies with focus on safety, equity, and reliability”. To achieve this target, additional
schemes need to be designed for sourcing more surface water. Rainwater harvesting should
be made compulsory for all new building projects to supplement the ground water. In the
interests of reducing transmission and distribution losses, NMC should refurbish the old
distribution system, conduct leak detection studies, identify illegal water connections and
discourage public stand posts (PSP). All households should be provided with metered
connections to increase coverage to 100% and volumetric billing should be introduced to
discourage wastage. Finally, NMC can control its operational expenses by conducting an
energy audit, which accounts for the bulk of its operational expenses.
Sewerage and storm water drainage system

The mission statement for the sewerage and storm water drainage system has been defined as
“100% coverage of sewage collection and treatment, and strengthening and rejuvenation of
the natural drainage system”. NMC must extend the sewerage system to the entire city and
provide individual connections to all households/constructed units. The proposed sewerage
system must ensure that no sewage is disposed untreated into the water bodies in and outside
the city. To provide universal access to clean and affordable sanitation facilities at public
places, NMC should encourage the ‘pay and use’ category of public conveniences through
public private partnership arrangements and community involvement in the maintenance of
the same. NMC must focus on the rejuvenation of the Nag and Pilli Rivers, nallah
canalization and the consequent strengthening of the natural drainage system. All the roads
must have storm water drains to prevent flooding during peak periods.

The suggested mission statement for SWM is “Clean city and bin-free city”. NMC should
make serious attempts to ensure 100% segregation at source through awareness campaigns or
the introduction of penalty fees. The current waste dumping practices must be replaced with
scientific waste disposal methods. Decentralised waste-to-energy projects should also be
explored to improve the financial viability of the system.
Roads and public transport

The city’s transport network should be made complete in terms of hierarchy and accessibility,
for efficient movement of traffic. In order to control the growth of private modes in the traffic
stream, the city needs an efficient public transport system. It would be ideal to develop a high
frequency mini-bus based transport system sustained by eco-friendly fuels. NMC should
explore the possibility of fully taking over the operation license from MSRTC. It can even
explore the possibility of private participation in the operations. A specific traffic
management plan should be designed for problem areas and junctions. Signals, signage and
marking also need to be upgraded. Development of parking plazas should get priority in
development. Facilities for pedestrians such as footpaths, railings and refuge islands at
medians also need to be improved.

8
Education and medical facilities

NMC’s role is limited to primary level services in the area of provision of medical and
educational infrastructure. To promote higher-level education and medical facilities, it must
provide a conducive environment for other government agencies and private developers in
the form of support infrastructure, incentives, etc.
Future steps towards improvement in health care facilities should be based on shift from a
target-oriented to community-oriented approach, participatory planning in medical care,
emphasis on quality health care and client satisfaction and preventive health care measures.
To achieve its mission of ‘making Nagpur a medical services hub’, NMC should encourage
and provide incentives for the setting up of multi-speciality hospitals in the form of access to
affordable land, exemption of octroi on equipment and medicine, subsidy on water rates and
taxes, convention centre facilities, etc.
Slums and urban poor

A “slum free city” was identified as the sector vision by the ‘Slums and urban poor’ group.
As per the stakeholders, access to basic services for slum dwellers must be ensured and slum
rehabilitation programs should be focused upon. More EWS/LIG housing should be provided
by the government. Other facilities like public toilets, night shelters, destitute children’s
homes, beggars’ homes, working women’s hostels and marriage halls should also be
provided.
Simple strategies like the reservation of land for EWS housing with adequate enforcement
and adequate financial provisioning can ensure the creation of sufficient and affordable
housing stock in the city. Perhaps the most important change needed to manage Nagpur’s
slums is fostering a collaborative partnership between the local authorities and communities,
with strong support from the government. These federations should be involved as equal
partners from the beginning of the planning processes. Strategies for improving security of
tenure are central to the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers and land use in urban
areas. This may require reform of tenure and land use legislation, coupled with new
legislation to prevent forced eviction.
For the implementation of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme, it is essential to
create an updated database on the conditions of the slum settlements. It is critical to prioritize
slums to be considered under the SRA scheme through consultation and public opinion.
Wherever SRA is not viable and space constraints are high, in-situ improvement measures
can be taken up.
Urban environment
Nagpur has been known as a “clean and green city.” It is imperative to preserve this image.
To retain the healthy status of Nagpur’s urban environment, several planning and
conservation initiatives need to be undertaken. This could be achieved through the proper
zoning of activities, provision for sufficient breathing space in new developments and
adoption of proper landscape design practices at the city level. It is important to devise a plan,
which can check the growth of unauthorized developments, especially within the city’s
precincts. To ensure sustainable development with optimum resource utilization, it may be
necessary to develop a regional plan that envisages a balanced relationship between the main
city and surrounding regions. A comprehensive water body restoration or revival program in
the region is of utmost importance. The lake conservation program should also explore the
possibilities of reviving lakes as water sources or points of interest in the city.

9
Land use and housing

The stakeholders have defined the mission statement as “modern land management practices
that promote economic development in an environmentally sustainable manner”. Efforts
should be made to decongest core areas through selective relocation of commercial and
trading activities. High-density high-rise provision must be made in the old city limits to free
space for infrastructure development, road widening etc. NMC must discourage development
in critical, ecologically sensitive areas. Development Control Rules (DCR) should be made
applicable to these areas to restrict encroachments and unauthorised developments. Based on
the compatibility of land uses, detailed studies should be carried out to identify corridors
where densification is possible. In selected areas, specific nodes should be identified along
high growth routes and developed as high density commercial and entertainment centres; the
concept of paid FSI must also be explored. NMC and NIT should encourage builders and
developers to develop mass housing by offering suitable incentives. Peripheral area
(metropolitan region) development needs to be focussed and integrated with transportation
networks through the coordinated efforts of NMC and NIT. For integrated fringe area
development, a Metropolitan Planning Committee should be constituted for the Nagpur
metropolitan region. This agency should be well-equipped with necessary capacity, in terms
of both skills and supporting legislation, for effective planning and management. The efforts
of this agency must be systematically co-ordinated with those of NMC.
Culture and heritage

The stakeholders have defined the mission statement for this action area as “Nagpur:
Gateway to the tiger country”. Nagpur should not only act as an entry point to the Vidarbha
region, which holds great tourism potential, but also be seen as a tourism destination itself.
Firstly, NMC should prepare a heritage conservation plan. This should be harmonised with
various other actions plans for land use, transportation, environment, etc. The plan may be
supported by a heritage conservation policy for the city, covering aspects of documentation
(status and condition of the heritage structures), strategy (what needs to be done) and
implementation (how it should be done). To ensure the successful implementation of this
plan, it is important to imbibe a sense of ownership of the heritage structures in various
stakeholders. There is a need to create a separate fund for these conservation activities from
the budgetary allocations of NMC. Tourism may be developed on themes of heritage,
wildlife, religion, health or education. Adequate facilities should be provided to tourists in
terms of affordable accommodation, information and booking services, and inter-city and
intra-city transport.
Though one of the main aims of JNNURM is to finance the infrastructure investments
identified as part of CDP, the larger objective of the mission is to initiate much-needed
reforms in ULBs.
Reform agenda for Nagpur
JNNURM specifies that in order to avail of its funding, the State Government and the urban
local bodies (ULBs) have to execute a range of reforms. The proposed reforms fall into two
categories: Mandatory Reforms and Optional Reforms.

collection of cost of operation andsame to collect full cost of operation and maintenance
maintenance within the next five by March 2011. NMC plans to collect full user
years charges for assets created under JNNURM.
Internal earmarking within local Five percent of the budget is earmarked for the
body budgets for basic services to provision of services for urban poor under various
the urban poor schemes covering water and sanitation, roads,
streetlights, education, primary health care centres,
etc. Expenditures on the same are indicated under a
separate head in the budget.
Provision of basic services to the NMC provides education through schools and health
urban poor services through primary health care centres to the
urban poor. Access to basic services in slums is
provided through various schemes of NMC, and slum
upgradation programs are undertaken under the aegis
of SRA. In addition, NMC also undertakes
regularisation and rehabilitation of pre-1995 slums as
per the Government policy.
The above form the list of mandatory reforms to be implemented at the ULB level. NMC has
complied with all the major requirements of JNNURM. Hence, it holds a good chance of
qualifying for funding under JNNURM.
In addition, NMC has achieved considerable progress in the category of optional reforms
prescribed for ULBs.

participation in various areas. Some of the initiatives
involve the proposed laying of pipeline through

basis; PPP in slum rehabilitation; community
participation in collection of solid waste, etc.
City Investment Plan and strategies
The total estimated capital investment required for providing efficient services to the present
and future population of NMC by the year 2011-12 is Rs. 5894 crores (at current prices).
More than 70% of the investments proposed under the CIP are dedicated to the sectors of
MRTS and traffic management, slum development/housing, and roads and bridges. The water
and sewerage sectors have been allocated 10% and 8.7% respectively of the total investment.

The CDP has identified projects, which are estimated to cost Rs.5894 crores at current prices.
However, However, JNNURM grants, internal accruals of NMC and debt can together fund
projects worth Rs.2273 crores at escalated prices, factoring in the price escalation on the
project costs over the six year period. The source of Rs. 2273 crores would be as follows:
CIP funding pattern

NMC has identified opportunities for bridging the investment deficit. Some of the identified
projects like MRTS and water recycling and reuse can be funded through the public private
partnership (PPP) route. The investments in these two projects aggregate to Rs.1750 crores at
current prices. Thus, NMC through internal accruals, debt, JNNURM funding and PPP
model be able to fund projects worth Rs3727 crores (Rs.1977 crores + Rs1750 crores). The
balance projects would be executed by MHADA, NIT, SRA and Maharashtra state
government.
The Way Forward

The JNNURM scheme marks an important milestone in the development of urban
infrastructure and the reform agenda of the Government of India. It provides an opportunity
for municipal corporations to fill the increasing gap between existing and desired service
delivery, even as the pressure on urban infrastructure mounts. It is indeed a stepping-stone for
municipal corporations to achieve improvements in service delivery, governance and
financial sustainability.
It is not so much the philosophy of JNNURM that will demand performance from cities. Peer
cities will create pressure by setting examples and raising the bar. It would no longer suffice
to initiate a reform at the city level and stay content with the progress. The quality of reforms

13
would be constantly benchmarked with those of its peers; the pace of progress would be
measured against the standards set by first movers.
A successful application for JNNURM in the form of the preparation of the CDP is barely the
beginning. The amount and extent of benefits, which will accrue to the Nagpur Municipal
Corporation (NMC) and the real development of the Nagpur city as a whole will depend upon
the progress of the commitments made by NMC, both in service delivery outcomes and in
reform implementation suggested as part of CDP. In order to achieve the vision and stated
mission, NMC has to focus on the following three areas:
Implementation of the City Development Plan

Challenges
Implementing the CDP

The implementation of the CDP has two dimensions: the reform dimension and the
investment dimension. From the point of view of the reform dimension, NMC is in a fairly
good position. It has achieved a fair level of progress in the areas of accounting reforms and
e-Governance. However, it will need to accelerate its efforts in the areas of property tax and
the levy of appropriate user charges. From the investment angle, currently, NMC has been
investing and implementing capital works to the tune of about Rs.80 crores per annum. With
the advent of JNNURM, the Corporation will have to undertake projects of around Rs.600
crores every year. This will require tremendous capacity building within the Corporation.
Challenges in the future

Nagpur is still considered one of the tier II cities of the country. Of late given the good
quality of urban infrastructure like roads and being considered an important centre of
learning, particularly in the field of engineering, Nagpur is slowly catching the attention of
many corporate houses in the country. The favorable mention of Nagpur in the KPMG-
NASSCOM survey and IDC-Dataquest study testifies to the economic potential of Nagpur.
This, when combined with the MIHAN project, has the ability to power Nagpur’s economy in
the coming years. The higher economic growth and relatively better quality of life enjoyed by
Nagpur’s citizens will increase the net migration to the city. This will result in a higher
population growth rate than what Nagpur has experienced in recent decades. This will
further increase the pressure on urban services and possibly the quality of life in Nagpur will
deteriorate as it has in every other major city in the country. The challenge before NMC is to
transit from being a tier 2 city to a tier 1 city without breeding the ills that plague the tier 1
cities in the country.
Opportunities in the future

The city of Nagpur has several opportunities and the Corporation should build on these
opportunities. Here is a description of opportunities, which Nagpur can capitalize. Nagpur,
next to Pune, has the largest number of engineering colleges in and around a city in
Maharashtra. Unfortunately, the students graduating from these colleges often do not find
jobs matching their profiles in Nagpur. This leads to migraton of a talented class of Nagpur’s
residents. The challenge for Nagpur city is to create jobs in the city, which will retain this
talented pool and spur them to contribute to the further growth of the city. The possibility of
technology majors like Satyam Computers and aircraft manufacturer Boeing setting up shop
augurs well for the city. For greater sustainability, linkages between industry and institutions
must be established and nurtured.

14
In its resolve to become a well-developed city, NMC should not lose focus on the 36% slum
population of the city. The challenge before the city is to ensure that basic services including
housing be provided in an equitable fashion to all sections of society. NMC’s important role
in providing primary and secondary education to the economically weaker sections should
not be overlooked. A workforce empowered with basic education can capitalize on the
growth opportunities created in the city.

15
2. PROJECT BACKGROUND
As per the 2001 Census, the urban population of India was 285.35 million, which is about
27.8 per cent of the total population of the country. By 2021, the share of urban population is
estimated to rise above 40 percent of India’s total population. Thus cities and towns are
expected to play a vital role in India’s socio-economic transformation and change. Apart from
their contribution to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is currently placed
at about 50-55 per cent, and their growing role in global markets, cities in India will be the
engines of economic growth, the centre-points of innovation and the hub of many socio-
economic activities. But the current state of affairs in most of our urban areas is far from
satisfactory on all parameters of urban governance. Unplanned growth, large slum
populations, over-stressed and non-reliable civic infrastructure, inadequate financial
resources and dissatisfying urban governance will have a significant negative economic
consequence if not addressed in a planned manner.
2.1 Need for City Development Plan
Municipal governments and other institutions responsible for service provision are facing
acute shortage of capacity and resources, notwithstanding the 74th Constitutional Amendment
Act, 1992, on municipalities. Most municipalities are starved of resources on account of their
inability to effectively use their revenue raising powers, in particular, those relating to
property tax and user charges.
Given the current state of affairs of our cities which is incompatible with the country’s socio-
economic objectives and India’s growing role in the world economy, the Government of
India has launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) in FY
2005-06. The Mission will be in place for the next seven years; it aims to create economically
productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission focuses on:
• Improving and augmenting the economic and social infrastructure of cities;

• Ensuring basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure;
• Initiating wide-ranging urban sector reforms whose primary aim is to eliminate legal,
institutional and financial constraints that have impeded investment in urban
infrastructure and services; and
• Strengthening municipal governments and their functioning in accordance with the
provisions of the Constitution (Seventy-fourth) Amendment Act, 1992. It provides for
public disclosure of local spending decisions together with the earmarking of budgetary
allocations for basic services to the poor.
The JNNURM assumes that in order to make our cities work and meaningfully contribute to
India’s economic growth and poverty reduction objectives, it is essential to create incentives
and support for urban reforms both at the state and the city level. This can be achieved by
developing appropriate enabling frameworks, enhancing the creditworthiness of municipal
governments and integrating the urban poor with service delivery systems.

16
The JNNURM is also designed to encourage the involvement of the private sector in service
delivery and management and in the implementation of the reform agenda. It accordingly
provides for the participation of business, industry, civic groups and communities in local
decision-making. It is estimated that the current gap of infrastructure in cities with a million
plus population and a few other (about 60 cities) is about Rs. 1,20,000 crores. In order to
meet this gap, the Government of India (GoI) proposed to allocate about Rs. 50,000 crores
during the next seven years in the form of grant to ULBs. But GoI has framed the JNNURM
guidelines in such a way that applicant ULBs will be eligible for grant assistance provided
cities undertake certain reforms; the objective is to improve infrastructure as well as ensure
the long term sustenance of the ULBs. Thus in order to be eligible for the grant assistance
under JNNURM, the Government of India requires eligible cities to:
• formulate a medium-term City Development Plan (CDP) to align with citizens’ interest
and priorities;
• prepare project proposals in accordance with the CDP; and
• draw up a timeline for implementing the urban sector reforms.
Subject to the fulfilment of the above-stated requirements and their satisfactory appraisal, the
Government of India, Ministry of Urban Development/Ministry of Urban Employment and
Poverty Alleviation, will sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the state
government and the ULB, and release funds in accordance with the payment schedule that
will form a part of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA).
As the formulation of a City Development Plan is a mandatory requirement for accessing

JNNURM funds, the Indo-US FIRE (D-III) Project, as part of its agenda to address
development challenges facing India’s cities, has selected Nagpur (besides Pune and
Bhubhaneshwar) as one of the pilot cities to formulate the CDP as per the JNNURM process.
In this context, the Indo-US FIRE (D-III) has retained the services of CRISIL Infrastructure
Advisory to prepare the CDP for Nagpur.
2.2 Objectives of a City Development Plan

The City Development Plan (CDP) is the Municipal Corporation’s corporate strategy that
presents both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the Corporation’s
organization, and mission statements on how the Corporation, together with other
stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving the long-term vision in the next five years.
The CDP thus prepared should translate the mission into actions and actions into outcomes.
The objective of involvement of the stakeholders through the consultation process and
endorsement by the local body and other implementing agencies who have committed
themselves to action is to hold them accountable for their mission statements, actions and
expected outcomes.
The CDP clearly defines how a Corporation will serve its customers (businesses and
citizens). For example, the CDP will talk about how the Corporation intends to guarantee a
basic level of urban services to all citizens; make urban planning responsive to emerging
needs; and become responsive to the needs of, and improve its services to local businesses.
The CDP will also outline how the Corporation plans to run its business. The CDP will
elaborate how the Corporation intends to manage public finance in a modern and transparent
way; execute urban planning and governance in line with an established framework, and

17
become more responsive -- cost and time efficient – by availing of technology in its
governance and service delivery processes. Finally, the CDP will reveal the Corporation’s
strategy to manage its resources, i.e. how it intends to increase revenues and expand its tax
base to allow for self-sustaining urban service delivery, improve its creditworthiness, and
recruit and retain a skilled workforce.
2.3 The CDP process adopted by Nagpur

The Nagpur CDP has been developed in close consultation with all stakeholders. As a result,
they have endorsed it; this is intended to make Nagpur Municipal Corporation and others,
who commit themselves to action, accountable for their mission statements, actions and
expected outcomes. The CDP was prepared in a three-phase process. The steps taken under
each phase have been detailed in this section.
Phase 1 - Defining vision and mission statements
The first phase started in mid-January with a reconnaissance. This involved conducting a
rapid city-assessment of Nagpur and identifying the city’s strengths, weaknesses and
opportunities.
This was followed by a capacity building session for NMC officials. The session, held on 17th
January 2006, served to explain the purpose of the CDP and create a sense of ownership of
the plan. The officials of other government departments such as telecommunications,
transport and power were also involved in this workshop (refer to Annexure A in Volume 2
of this report ).
Capacity building sessions were also held for various groups of stakeholders to inform them
about the objectives of JNNURM and the process of preparing the CDP. These stakeholders
included business groups and trade associations, citizens’ clubs and NGOs (refer to Annexure
B and C in Volume 2 of this report).
In order to reach out to a larger section of people, several steps have been taken. First, a
JNNURM workshop was conducted for representatives of the press and the electronic media
(refer to Annexure D). The objective was to publicize the CDP and get people involved in its
preparation. Suggestions and comments were solicited from the citizens by way of newspaper
articles and interviews, and emails. ‘CDP suggestion boxes’ were kept in every NMC ward
office. Banners and hoardings inviting suggestions and comments were placed at several
vantage locations in the city. In an effort to trigger a discussion in every household, school
children were encouraged to write short essays covering topics like what they like and dislike
about Nagpur and their dream for the city. It was envisaged that answering these simple but
thought-provoking questions would precipitate a larger discussion amongst parents and elder
stakeholders of the city. To this end, a public meeting was arranged; about 200 teachers
attended it. The teachers were asked to collect responses from students in the form of essays
and send the best responses and a compilation of the same to the ward offices.
The vision and mission workshop with NMC officials (first workshop) was held on 23rd
January 2006 (refer to Annexure A). It focused on highlighting the current status of all the
services provided by various NMC departments and the key issues confronting each
department. Each department of NMC outlined its vision for the city of Nagpur and a plan of
action that it would follow to realize the vision.
18
As a follow-up to the workshop, CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory on behalf of NMC,

consulted several stakeholders individually. Through these interviews, stakeholders got an
opportunity to articulate what they see as necessary for the further economic growth of
Nagpur and improvement of the quality of life of its people. The stakeholder workshops
conducted prior to individual consultations had paved the way for a more productive and
meaningful discussion on the state of affairs in Nagpur city (refer to Annexure E in Volume 2
of this report).
Phase I concluded with a workshop (second workshop), where NMC officials and
stakeholders together carried out a visioning exercise (refer to Annexure F in Volume 2 of
this report). The NMC mission statements and the perceived needs of the stakeholders were
compared and discussed to reach an initial consensus on the main focus areas. Participants
were divided into eight different groups; each group represented a focus area4. The groups
deliberated on how NMC and the stakeholders could minimise the city’s weaknesses and
contribute to its strengths. Vision and mission statements were also suggested by each group
for the city as well as for each focus area. Action groups were also identified for each
mission statement.
Phase 2 –Identifying priority actions to achieve missions
Phase II started with focus group discussions with stakeholders to identify and define actions
needed to achieve a particular mission statement. The discussions were held between the last
week of February and the first week of March (refer to Annexure G in Volume 2 of this
report). More than 50 stakeholders and NMC officials were a part of these focus group
discussions (FGDs). The NMC officials presented their plans and constraints (both financial
and institutional) with respect to sector issues. Based on these, the stakeholders were
requested to suggest strategies and action plans and identify the key players for implementing
the same. Each discussion was concluded with a summary of agreed strategies and an action
plan highlighting areas of disagreement, if any. Based on the discussions and experts’
comments, a draft action plan was prepared for every focus area under CDP.
Simultaneously, a citizens’ survey was conducted through an independent research agency, to

assess the performance of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (refer to Annexure H in Volume 2
of this report). The survey also aimed at assessing citizens’ demand for various urban
services. It covered aspects like citizens’ satisfaction levels on various urban services, their
perception of slums in the city, their suggestions regarding steps needed to improve service
levels, their willingness to pay for them and finally their vision for their city. The survey was
conducted between 20th February and 8th March, 2006 by an independent research agency,
Hansa Research, appointed by CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory. The questionnaire for the
survey was designed by CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory and was finalised after pre-testing it
with over 50 samples during the second stakeholder workshop. The details of methodology
and findings are given in Annexure I.
4
The eight groups were ‘Water supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waste management’, ‘Roads, traffic and
transportation’, ‘Land use and housing’, ‘Urban poor and slum development’, ‘Urban environment, gardens and
conservation of water bodies’, ‘Local economic development’, ‘Education, health and social infrastructure’ and
‘Tourism, culture and heritage’.

19
A credit strength assessment was also done to determine the creditworthiness of NMC and to
identify financial reforms required to sustain various investments proposed by NMC under
JNNURM.
Phase II concluded with a stakeholders’ workshop (third workshop) on 12th March 2006
(refer to Annexure I and J in Volume 2 of this report). The findings of all the above three
activities were presented to NMC officials and stakeholders. The CRISIL Infrastructure
Advisory team’s experts supported these groups. The experts provided inputs in terms of
resources required, practical implications, preliminary funding requirements and institutional
capacity requirements for successfully accomplishing priority actions. Based on these, the
stakeholders refined and prioritised the strategies and action plans for their respective groups.
Individually, they also assigned priorities to investments across various sectors and projects,
keeping in mind the findings of demand survey and credit strength assessment.
Phase 3 – Feasibility assessments and investment scheduling
The last phase of the CDP preparation process involved assessment of detailed project costs
and determination of funding sources. Types and sources of financing were identified for
priority projects and reforms; the sources included internal resources, state and central
government, local financial institutions, donors, and public-private partnerships.
After assessing the risks for these priority projects and reforms, risk management measures
were identified. Scheduling of priority actions was also done for all the prioritized
projects/actions in a logical sequence based on the availability of resources along with a
Capital Investment Plan for the identified projects. The corresponding Financial Operating
Plan was also prepared, outlining the preliminary budget, financing assumptions and
responsibilities for implementation and financing.
All these were integrated into a draft City Development Plan and presented in the fourth and
last workshop with NMC officials and stakeholders on 8th May 2006 (refer to Annexure K in
Volume 2 of this report). The implementation issues relating to the City Investment Plan
were discussed at the workshop. Based on the discussions in the workshop, this final CDP
document was prepared.

3. ABOUT NAGPUR
Nagpur has always enjoyed the status of a capital city that continues till date; it is the winter
capital of the Maharashtra state. It completed 300 years of establishment in 2002. Though an
important administration centre with advantageous geographical location, Nagpur’s economic
development has been constrained by the limited development of the hinterland of central
India. However, with technological developments and overall development of the central
hinterland, the scenario is set to change. Investments in central India (Vidarbha region) as
well as the formation of the Chattisgrah state should provide an impetus to Nagpur’s local
economy.
3.1 History of Nagpur

The city got its name from the River Nag or Nag people and is known since prehistoric times.
Nagpur and its surrounding region also find a mention in the Vedic and Mauryan scriptures.
Nagpur city's foundation was laid by the Gond King of Deogad "Bakht Buland Shah" in the
year 1703. Chand Sultan, successor to Bakht Buland Shah, constructed a three-mile long wall
around his City by the Nag River. In 1743, it became the capital of Raghoji Rao Bhonsle’s
kingdom. The Bhonsle period witnessed peace with cultural and economic prosperity.
Cottage and handloom industry started developing during this period. The city was annexed
in 1817 by the British after the defeat of Appasaheb Bhosale in the Battle of Sitabuldi.
Consciousness for planned city development was raised by Sir Patrick Geddes, who visited
the city in 1915. The Nagpur Improvement Trust (N.I.T.) was established in 1936 to carry out
planned development in the city. The British Government made Nagpur the capital of the
new state named Central Province in mid-19th century and it remained so till 1956, after
which it became the second capital of Maharashtra.
Thus Nagpur has enjoyed the status of being the administrative centre of Central India during
the ancient and medieval eras. It carries a legacy of cultural and economic prosperity. Its
proximity to tribal areas has also ensured the preservation of its natural resources, i.e.,
minerals and forests. In the modern era, though Nagpur has lost its politically prime position,
natural aspects of geography, climate and location continue to position it favourably for
prospering as an economic hub.
3.2 Geography and climate

The town is dominated by the British fort, which was built in 1818 on the twin hills of
Sitabuldi in the centre of the city. The surrounding region is an undulating plateau rising
northward to the Satpura Range, from 889 to 2,142 feet (271 to 653 m). In the west, the hills
are forested. In the northeast are the hills of Ramtek. The region is drained by the Kanhan and
Pench Rivers in the center, the Wardha in the west, and the Wainganga in the east. Both these
rivers later merge as tributaries into the Godavari River. The soil in the west and the north is
fertile black (cotton) and that in the east alluvial in nature.
The climate of Nagpur follows a typical seasonal monsoon weather pattern. The peak
temperatures are usually reached in May/June and can be as high as 480C. The onset of
monsoon is usually from July. The season extends up to September with the monsoons

22
peaking during July and August. After monsoons, the average temperature varies between
270C and approx 6-70C right through December and January. The average annual rainfall is
45 inches, with more rain in the east than in the west.
3.3 Location and connectivity

Nagpur is located at practically the geographical center of India; in fact, the Zero Milestone
of India (a heritage monument) is in this city. (Nagpur is 837 km from Mumbai, 1094 km
south of Delhi, 1092 km north of Chennai and 1140 km west of Kolkata). All major highways
-- NH-7 (Varanasi - Kanyakumari) and NH-6 (Mumbai - Sambalpur - Kolkata) and major
railway trunk routes (Mumbai, Chennai, Howrah and Delhi) pass through the city.
Figure 2. Location of Nagpur in India
An electrified broad gauge railway track connects Nagpur to the four major metros.
Destinations connected include Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Kolhapur, Pune,
Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Jammu, Amritsar, Lucknow, Varanasi, Bhubaneshwar,
Thiruvananthapuram, Cochin, Gorakhpur, Visakhapatnam, Bangalore, Mangalore, Patna and
Indore.
The Sonegaon airport is 7.5 kilometres south of Nagpur city. It is connected to some
important Indian and international cities including Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Hyderabad,
Raipur, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Bangkok.
Thus, distance and connectivity with all the important Indian cities gives Nagpur an inherent
advantage. It can be seen as a transport hub, connecting the Indian cities to each other and
international destinations as well. Various IT and ITES companies are also viewing this
characteristic as a strong positive factor. The city provides access to its own skilled
manpower and also to that of the entire region.
3.4 Demographic profile

The Nagpur district consists of Nagpur Municipal Corporation, 10 municipalities, 13
panchayat samitis and 778 gram panchayats. The total area covered is about 9897 sq. km. of

23
which Nagpur city accounts for 217.65 sq. km. (2.2%). The district population (as per Census
of India - 2001) was 40.51 lakhs of which 20.52 lakhs (about 50%) were in Nagpur city. The
average population density of Nagpur is quite low as compared to other comparable cities of
India. The figure was 95 persons per ha in 20015.
It is estimated that 36% of the population in the city of Nagpur lives in slums. There are
about 427 slum pockets in the city spread over an area of about 17 sq. km. Of the 427 slums,
292 slums are notified slums. In 1997, the slum population of Nagpur was about 6.61 lakhs,
which increased to 7.4 lakhs in 2001 and 8.08 lakhs in 2005, thus showing a growth of 22%
in the last eight years. Of the 8.08 lakh population, about 20% lives in non-notified slums
(Source: Slum department, NMC).
3.4.1 Growth and spatial distribution
As per Census of India (2001), Nagpur’s population is about 20.52 lakhs. The population
trends of the city show a declining growth rate over the decades. It has decreased from 48.3%
in 1921-31 to 32.6% in 1991-2001. Based on the linear projection method, the growth rate
may reduce in the next three decades to 22.2% (2021-31). Accordingly, in the next 25 years
Nagpur’s population would double. But, considering the recent development projects like
Multimodal International Hub Airport – Nagpur (MIHAN) and IT sector’s likely investments
in the city, Nagpur’s growth rate may revive itself and Nagpur’s population may double by
2021, i.e. in the next 15 years. Nagpur needs to plan for its infrastructure accordingly. In the
graph below the corrected figure population reflects that the level of population that can be
attained if the all the proposed investments in and around the city like the MIHAN project
fully materialise.

Population Corrected population
As per Census of India 2001, the attractiveness of the city for migrants has been decreasing.
In the last decade (1991-2001), almost 46% of the population growth has been due to in-
migration. The figure has declined to 24% in the last four years (1997-2001), as per Census
2001. Further, data regarding key reasons for migration shows that attractiveness of the city
as a business destination is also low. Most of the migrants have originated from the rural
areas. The key reasons for migration by the male population were work/employment (49%),
5
The comparative figures for Surat, Ahmedabad, Indore are 217, 184 and 122 persons per ha respectively. Pune
has a marginally higher density of 104 persons per ha.

24
followed by movement of household (22%) and education (10%). The proportion of people
shifting for business purposes was very small.
The distribution of population is highly uneven. The city is characterised by low-rise

development, which is dense in the older and inner parts of the city, and by a lot of vacant
land in the outer areas of the city. The inner city area of the city had high densities of 700-850
persons per ha (as per Census 1991) and also along national highways, NH-6 and NH-7. But
the peripheral areas indicated densities ranging from as low as 10 persons per ha to 150
persons per ha.
3.4.2 Other characteristics
India has a very young population with a median age of 24 years. About 65% of the total
population is less than 35 years old. Nagpur is also reflective of this demographic
characteristic with the median age being closer to the national level; 66 percent of the total
population is under the age of 35 years. The 10-25 year age group forms the largest
proportion of the total population. This offers a valuable resource for economic development
of the city. But, at the same time, if not given optimum opportunities, the tendency to migrate
will probably be the highest within this age bracket.

The sex ratio in Nagpur is quite healthy at 936, which nearly equals the all-India figure of
933. The figure is even healthier for the slum population of Nagpur at 948. The figures are
significantly better than those obtaining in many other Indian cities like Bangalore and
Ahmedabad (Figure 5).

About 84% of Nagpur’s population is literate as per Census 2001. But the figure is aligned in
terms of gender. Males have a literacy rate of 90% and females a mere 78%.6 Of the total
slum population, about 75% are literate; 79% of the males and 68% of the females. The
figures are clearly skewed towards the male population. NMC has kept these factors in mind
while planning for primary educational infrastructure and implementing literacy campaigns.
3.5 Economic base of Nagpur

About 30 percent of the city’s population is ‘working’ as per Census of India-2001. About 85
percent of the working population is male. Trade, hotels and restaurants is the largest industry
group in the city. About 36.3 percent of the working population is engaged in this industry
group. Transportation sector employs 17.6 percent of the total working population. Nagpur’s
location on the confluence of various transportation routes has probably contributed to the
large share of employment generation in the trade and transportation sector. Manufacturing
also has a significant presence in Nagpur with 15.4 percent of the working population
involved in this sector.

3.5.1 City with latent economic potential
Nagpur measures well on various liveability indices in comparison with other cities. It has the
lowest income inequality among various cities in the country. ‘India Today – R K Swamy
BBDO Guide to Urban Markets’, also ranked the city as the tenth wealthiest, highest-
consuming and most aware Indian city in 2004. Nagpur’s vantage location coupled with
growth triggers like the construction of the east-west and north-south corridors, proposed
investments in the multimodal transport hub, development of the special economic zone, and
revival of industries in the Vidarbha region would stimulate economic growth.
In addition, Nagpur has all the ingredients for emerging as a high quality service centre. IT
being a knowledge-based industry, quality human resources are one of its key requirements.
The region around Nagpur has 27 engineering colleges with about 8,600 engineering students
passing out of these colleges every year. (After the Pune region, Nagpur has the highest
number of engineering colleges in the state of Maharashtra.) This would render Nagpur an
attractive location for the IT-ITES industry. Low labour cost and the availability of highly
skilled manpower would add to Nagpur’s attractiveness. Information Technology Enabled
Services (ITES) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) units would also consider Nagpur
as a business destination, as they prefer locations with low cost of living. The figure for
Nagpur is substantially lower as compared to most other IT destinations in the country. A
Dataquest-IDC study of the top ten IT cites in India ranked Nagpur seventh, based on
parameters such as manpower availability, information, communication and technology
(ICT) infrastructure availability and usage, lifestyle and environment. Also, as per the KPMG
– NASSCOM survey, Nagpur is one of the top four tier II cities that have a huge potential for
information technology and IT enabled services.
Nagpur holds a strategic position in international aviation routes. Its unique location at the
crossing of the air route between Europe and South-East Asia as well as between South
Africa and North-East Asia makes it a logical and ideal location for a passenger and cargo
hub.7 Within India also, the fact that the trunk north-south and east-west highways and
railways also cross at Nagpur makes it a natural choice as a transport hub based on multi-
modal transport principles.
3.5.2 Investments triggering economic growth

Nagpur has adequate reasons to grow at a faster pace than the past. The slowing down in the
decadal population growth can be taken as a proxy for decreasing levels of economic activity
in the region. It has been on several occasions stated by various stakeholders that, unlike
Pune, Nagpur has not been able to retain the huge graduating pool of engineers and doctors.
This has mainly been attributed to the lack of adequate employment opportunities in the city.
What has probably held back economic growth in the past is the lack of priority given to
Nagpur (and Vidarbha in general) by successive state governments. It has been well-
documented by the Dandekar Committee (1984) that at 1982-83 prices, the total
developmental backlog in Maharashtra state excluding Mumbai was Rs.3177 crores. Out of
which, Vidarbha’s share was Rs.1247 crores, about 40% of the state backlog (excluding
Mumbai). The developmental backlog for Marathwada and Western Maharashtra was
7

Airport at Nagpur by L&T-Ramboll, and CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory

27
relatively lower at Rs.751 crores and Rs.884 crores. The backlog over the years has increased
further while that for the rest of Maharashtra has declined. As of April 2000, the
developmental backlog has increased to Rs.9830 crores.
MIHAN (Multi-modal International Hub Airport of Nagpur)
The trigger that Nagpur is mainly looking at is the MIHAN project. The proposed MIHAN
project is expected to spread over 4,025 hectares at a cost of Rs.2000 crores. Besides the
airport, the proposed project involves a road-rail terminal, a special economic zone (SEZ) and
other urban amenities to meet the needs of the working population in around the proposed
airport. The SEZ will provide the right platform for exploiting the latent economic potential
of Nagpur city. The SEZ project has potential to create over 1.2 lakhs jobs in Nagpur city.

The idea of the MIHAN and SEZ project together is based detailed market studies. It has
been observed that each of the industries that will be contained in the SEZ has been chosen
on the basis of the human and natural resource advantages that Nagpur city has to offer to
prospective investors. The same is true for the transport hub project. About 18 percent of the
working population is involved in transportation and allied businesses. This figure for cities
like Bangalore, Surat, Indore, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh is in single digits. This implies
that the share of the working population involved in transportation and allied industries is
higher than what is prevailing in other cities. This can be attributed to the unique
geographical positioning of Nagpur city. This industry is mainly driven by the unorganized
sector. The effort of MIHAN is to capture the inherent advantages in an organized and
scientific manner. The availability of both human and natural resources goes a long way to
ensure that the MIHAN project is rooted in reality.
The details of the MIHAN and the SEZ project are listed below.
IT Parks
Easy availability of constructed premises, tailor-made to suit the needs of the ITES-BPO
industry, replete with plug and play facilities at low cost, serves as a major attraction for the
ITES-BPO industry. Satyam Computers already has bought 100 acres of land in the SEZ

28
area. Construction majors Shapoorji Pallonji and L&T Infocity have already initiated plans to
develop IT parks over an area of 150 acres in the SEZ area.
Airport
The airport is projected to handle about 14 million passengers a year (70% international) and
870,000 tonnes of cargo (90% international) in 30 years time. It is expected that by 2015,
62,000 aircraft movements per year would take place at the Nagpur airport. Boeing has
identified the MIHAN SEZ as a potential site for a $100 million investment in creating a
maintenance, repair and overhaul facility (MRO). The airport will be backed by several
value-adding economic activities, which will be covered by a SEZ spread over 1475 hectares.
Road – Rail Terminal

Nagpur lies on the north-south, east-west corridor of the National Highway Development
Programme. Goods traffic passing through Nagpur is expected to increase significantly. Air
cargo shipped in and out of Nagpur will require multimodal terminal connectivity. Thus, a
road and rail terminal will be crucially needed in the MIHAN area. If Nagpur were to act as a
major distribution hub for the entire country, the multimodal terminal will also require
warehousing facilities including cold storage.
Health City
Nagpur city’s health care facilities presently cater to the needs of the three-crore strong
population of Vidarbha and adjoining districts of MP and Chattisgarh. Since there is no other
city in a 300 km radius with good medical facilities, the city offers an excellent opportunity
for health care establishments/corporate hospitals. The healthcare industry already has a
substantial presence in the city; the numerous medical colleges would ensure an easy supply
of trained manpower to the industry. The presence of an international airport in the vicinity
can ensure easy access to the facilities to patients from all over the world. Nagpur can
potentially attract medical tourists if not from all over the world but certainly from countries
in the South Asia and the Middle East.
Status of the MIHAN Project

The Government of Maharashtra is actively considering this project and has already released
Rs.80 crores towards land acquisition. Already, 1450 hectares of the 1475 hectares required
for the SEZ have been acquired. The contract for the road-rail terminal has been awarded to a
consortium led by logistics major SICAL. Boeing has already committed investments of $100
million in developing a MRO and pilot training facility.
3.5.3 Power generation and distribution

One of the problems that emerged through the stakeholder consultations was that Nagpur
does not get adequate power supply due to large scale industrial activity. This problem faced
by existing and prospective entrepreneurs would be resolved to a considerable extent in the
coming years. Several power projects have been planned, given the geographical advantages
that Nagpur has to offer.
The Nagpur region has large deposits of coal. The Western India Coalfields has its head-
office in Nagpur and has large mining operations in a 150 km radius of the present Nagpur
airport. As a result, coal washing is also a major industry around Nagpur. Due to large
deposits of coal in the region, it offers an attractive location for coal-based power generation.
It is estimated that coal deposits are sufficient to generate 4500 MW of power annually. The
planned power generation capacity of Koradi and Khaparkheda will add another 1500 MW of

29
power. The SEZ area in the MIHAN region will also have its captive power generating plant
of 100 MW for assured power supply. Nagpur will also witness an investment of Rs180
crores for revamping and modernising the distribution system under the Accelerated Power
Development and Reform Programme. This will improve the quality and reliability of power
distributed.

4. CITY ASSESSMENT: ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING

SITUATION IN NAGPUR
To formulate the City Development Plan, an assessment of Nagpur city has been carried out
with respect to basic infrastructure (both physical and social), physical and environmental
aspects like land usage and pollution levels and finally the financial status of the municipal
corporation. This chapter also discusses the status of infrastructure in the slums and the status
of various slum development projects undertaken in the city. The demographic and economic
aspects have already been discussed in the previous chapter. The objective is to make a
realistic assessment of where the city is, the direction in which it has been moving, and its
strengths and weaknesses.
4.1 Basic infrastructure

Municipal services have a direct and immediate effect on the quality of life of the people in
the city. Poor municipal services can also limit city’s attractiveness for business or industry
and thus limit job opportunities for its residents. Therefore, the biggest challenge for the
municipal corporation is to provide its citizens with reliable services that are financially and
environmentally sustainable. This section details the quality of urban services offered by
NMC (and other public bodies) to its citizens and their demands and perceptions regarding
these services. The areas covered in this section include water supply, sewerage and
sanitation, storm water drainage, solid waste management, street lighting, roads and public
transport.
4.1.1 Water supply system
Providing adequate supply of water to the city is an obligatory function for Nagpur Municipal
Corporation. The process involves obtaining raw water from available sources, filtering,
treating and distributing it to the consumers. Apart from these physical processes, NMC also
has to manage other aspects of the supply system such as attending to complaints, charging
customers for services and making investments to ensure sustained supplies.
NMC sources about 480 million litres per day (MLD) of water. Of this, only 10 MLD is
sourced from ground water resources; thus the dependence on ground water is quite low.
Overall, the water supply situation meets current demand. According to NMC sources, if no
steps are taken, Nagpur would have to face a deficit water situation of 62 MLD in 2011.
NMC, in anticipation of the increase in demand, has initiated steps to increase the supply of
water. The Pench IV Water Supply Project will enhance the water supply capacity by 113
MLD. The planned capacity upto 2031 will be just adequate to meet the projected demand.
Steps are already in place to recharge ground water sources through rainwater harvesting and
rejuvenation of lakes in and around the city. These additional resources may be utilised to
supplement surface water sources in the long-run. But there are no concrete plans in place to
augment ground water sources for supplying drinking water to the city by NMC.
The current per capita availability of water in Nagpur is quite high at 200 lpcd (2004).
Though there has been some fluctuation in the past few decades; the figure was 172 lpcd in
2001.This is mainly due to the continuous addition of water sources to the city’s water supply
system. Nagpur manages to meet the UDPFI (Urban Development Plans Formulation and

31
Implementation) guidelines, according to which 135 lpcd is an absolute minimum figure,

while 150-200 lpcd is the desirable level. As per the citizens’ survey, almost 63% of the
people receive adequate quantity of water most of the time, while 31% feel that the quantity
is adequate sometimes, only 4% feel that they never get sufficient quantity of water. The
variation in response is minimal across socio-economic classes.
The citizens’ survey also reveals that, on average, water is supplied for only four hours in a
day, while citizens would like at least 5-6 hours of supply. In terms of water pressure, it was
found to be satisfactory most of the time for 54% of the population; 7% feel that they never
get water supply at adequate pressure levels. The variation is quite high across municipal
zones.

At present, there are about 1.97 lakh domestic water connections in Nagpur, which serve
about 85% of Nagpur’s population (the rest is served through public stand posts). Assuming
an average household size of five, this implies approximately one water connection for every
two households. Of these, about 1.75 lakhs are metered connections. But, in the present
system, the onus of installing the meter lies on the consumer. There is no mechanism in place
to ensure the reliability of these meters. The non-revenue water level is very high. Against a
treated water supply of 470 MLD, NMC is only able to bill 241 MLD of water. NMC has
plans for introducing 100% metering of the water connections in the city. It is also drawing
up plans to introduce quality checks for the same.
The treatment losses in the system are quite high. The water system input volume is 625
MLD while the treated water supply volume is only 470 MLD. So 22% of the water is lost by
way of treatment losses.
Further, the city ranks poorly in terms of transmission and distribution losses. The losses
should ideally be within 15-20%; currently, these are slightly higher than 60%. For every 200
lpcd of water supplied to the consumer, about 97 lpcd is lost in the transmission and
distribution process. The water audit study reveals that the transmission losses of raw water
through the bulk supply canal range from a minimum of 20% to a maximum of 35%
depending on the quantum of water released in the canal. In absolute terms, the quantum of
water loss was estimated to be a minimum of 100 MLD and maximum of 250 MLD. If NMC
can recover these losses, the additional water available from the recovery of these losses will

32
be sufficient up to 2016 for the expected population growth of the city, thus freeing scarce
financial resources for undertaking other projects in the city.
To ensure the quality of water supplied, samples are collected routinely for water quality
monitoring. In a study carried out in 2002, it was observed that about 15-20% of the samples
were unfit for consumption (Figure 7). The water was found to be bacteriologically unsafe in
a number of cases.

It is also observed that the low level of water stored in the overhead service reservoirs results
in low pressure and inadequate supply in various localities. Therefore citizens have taken
recourse to digging wells for themselves or using water available from hand pumps. The
quality of water from such sources is unsatisfactory in general. The analysis of water drawn
from these sources, in the slums, reveals that the hardness level of water exceeds the
prescribed limits; in a few cases, nitrates also had a very high presence. The pH of water in
some of the slums was alkaline indicating that it contained stabilized organic matter. The
results of the analysis indicated presence of iron and fluorides in certain cases, possibly due
to old pipelines or due to the entry of ground water from the leaking joints. The Municipal
Corporation does not keep account of any of these private sources. Thus, it is imperative that
these are also accounted for. NMC feels that proper action needs to be taken to improve the
total quality of water supplied to the city through early completion of the proposed water
projects and regulation of /restriction on the usage of private sources of water.
The Corporation follows a flat tariff structure; hence consumption is not linked to the water
charges. The annual expenditure on water supply is approximately Rs.95 crores against an
actual receipt of only Rs.50 crores. NMC needs to make plans for improving cost recovery
levels. NMC is planning to introduce a volumetric tariff. For this, the reliability of meters
needs to be ensured by NMC through a systematic process. The citizens’ survey also suggests
a positive attitude among citizens towards metering. On being asked about their willingness
to pay for better water supply services, almost all the respondents expressed their willing to
pay at least 10-20% more than their current payouts; the higher socio-economic segments are
willing to pay as high as 25% more. NMC feels that it should revise its tariffs accordingly.

4.1.2 Sewerage system

The drainage function of an urban local body is related to the disposal of wastewater and
storm water. This is carried out either through underground piped drains (sewers) or surface
drains, which may be covered or open. Ideally, storm water drainage should be separate from
the wastewater drainage system. But most of the cities in India do not have an adequate
drainage system to carry the wastewater. So, often the sewage flows through surface drains,
which are supposed to carry storm water. In the case of Nagpur, only 60% of the city has
underground sewers. In the case of the rest of the city, the sewage flows in open drains,
which often get choked causing unhygienic conditions. As per the citizens’ survey, about
35% of respondents feel that drains get choked often, of which, about 42% feel that it gets
choked at least once every week. The percentage of respondents feeling that NMC never
cleans the drains is as high as 39%.
In 1943, Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) prepared sewerage scheme for the old Nagpur city
area; it was installed in the year 1964. Thereafter NMC made additions and alterations to the
sewerage system. Slopes in the city are from west to east in general. The sewerage system
consists mainly of gravity sewers, which are designed to take the maximum advantage of the
natural slopes. There is only one pumping station and treatment plant at Bhandewadi. Based
on topography, Nagpur city is divided into three sewerage zones namely North Sewerage
Zone (NSZ), Central Sewerage Zone (CSZ) and South Sewerage Zone (SSZ).

Currently, about 235 MLD of sewage is generated in the city on average (as per NMC’s
estimate). It increases to 600 MLD in the peak season (Figure 8). Of the total sewage
generated, only 40% flows through the sewers. The rest flows through the city’s open drains.
The situation is worse in the monsoon season. Of 235 MLD of sewage generated across the
city, only a part of the flow, about 100 MLD is collected and treated. This is mainly from the
CSZ. Sewage from the northern and southern zones and the remaining sewage from the
central zone flow into the nallahs without any treatment. This leads to extremely high levels
of pollution in the water bodies of Nagpur.
Of the three zones, the situation is worst in the north zone. The collected sewage is presently
disposed directly in the Nag River, constructed drains and Pili River without any treatment.
There are about 26000 manholes in the zone of which about 50% are choked. The system is
heavily silted and needs cleaning. The density of population is quite high in this zone. 50% of

34
the area does not have any sewerage system. There is also a severe lack of toilets. As a result,
a large part of the population resorts to open defecation. This leads to unhygienic conditions
in the area and pollution of ground water.
4.1.3 Storm water drainage
The existing storm water drainage system is inadequate. With houses, roads, footpaths, etc.
coming up, the permeable area decreases and rain water cannot properly percolate. Thus
storm water drainage becomes imperative to avoid water logging and resultant wear and tear
of roads. The necessity for and design of storm water drainage depends on climatic
conditions, i.e., incidence of rainfall and natural drainage, watershed and topography.
Nagpur city has a very good natural drainage pattern. The city has a suitable topography with
a natural gradient in one direction i.e. from west to east. There are two major storm water
carrying streams. The Nag River starts from the Ambazari Lake’s overflow weir at the
western end of the city and runs through the middle of the city towards the east. It caters to
the storm water drainage requirement of part of west Nagpur, south Nagpur, central Nagpur
and east Nagpur. The second river or the Pili River starts from the waste weir of Gorewada at
the northwest end of the city and runs through the north to the eastern end of the city. It caters
to the storm water drainage requirement of part of west Nagpur and north Nagpur. Besides
these, there are some important connecting nallahs also running along and across the city,
connected to the Nag and Pili Rivers.
At present, only 30-35 % of the road network is covered by the storm water drainage system
of open drains and closed drains. Almost all storm water drains are flooded due to carrying
both storm water and sewer flow. In the monsoon (peak period), there are problems of back
flow in the sewers that lead to unhygienic conditions and outbreak of epidemic. There is a
need to rejuvenate the natural drainage pattern by de-silting the natural drains, rivers and
nallahs and removing the blockages in the natural drainage paths. To support the natural
system, the storm water drainage network along the roads also needs to be strengthened in
terms of coverage and capacity.
4.1.4 Solid waste management
People often form their impressions about a city from the general level of cleanliness that
they see around the city, especially the presence or absence of garbage on the streets and
open places. Thus the quality of operations of a city’s solid waste management system is
crucial for the overall impression of the urban local body. Collection and disposal of waste is
an obligatory function of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation.
Nagpur generates about 875 MT of waste per day; 350-400 grams per capita per day. About
30% of this waste is organic compostible material. The remaining 70% consists of paper
(11.9%), rubber, leather and synthetics (3.02%), glass (0.98%), metals (0.33%) and other
inert materials (53%).
About 75% of the waste is collected under the door-to-door waste collection scheme called
“Swatchata Doot Aplya Dari “ (Sanitation worker at your doorstep) by Swatchata Doot
through ghanta gadis and cycle rickshaws. This is an NGO-based initiative, wherein a

35
contracted NGO worker called Swatchata Doot visits every house, shop and other
commercial establishment. About 60% of the residential and commercial establishments have
been covered by this scheme. Waste from hotels, restaurants, mess, etc. is collected
separately and is converted into compost by vermi-composting. Waste consisting of paper,
plastic, metal, brick stone and glass are sent for recycling by rag pickers. Through this
initiative, NMC is saving about Rs. 500 lakhs annually, as compared to where NMC would
have taken up the responsibility of waste collection and segregation itself.

Contracts for the cleaning of busy roads, market places, commercial areas and other
important roads have been given to private agencies/NGOs. The agencies have to work in
these areas for a minimum of 14 hours daily in two shifts for all seven days. The workers
have to wear uniforms and carry identification cards. The minimum number of workers to be
deployed per kilometer has been fixed. About 300 km. of roads and three vegetable markets
are being cleaned by 700 workers. The manpower deployment matches the norms prescribed
by the Solid Waste Management and Handling Rules, Supreme Court of India, 2000.
As per the citizens’ survey, the majority of the respondents have said that the Corporation
collects garbage from the doorstep mostly on a daily basis and they are more than satisfied
with its services. So far, though the door-to-door collection system has been successful, the
practice of segregation at source has not been introduced successfully. NMC, with the help of
NGOs, has started holding public awareness meetings to encourage segregation of waste.
For storage of waste, about four-six community bins are placed in each ward. A ward
typically has an area of 4-12 sq. km and a population of 45-50,000. Accordingly, the solid
waste generated is about 16-20 MT per day; this is collected and stored in these bins. The city
has approximately 300 such bins. Besides these, an additional 90 bins are kept in the market
and other areas. The bin placement practices adequately match the norms prescribed by the
SWM Handling Rules, Supreme Court of India, 2000.
Waste collected from all over the city is transported to the processing and disposal sites by
450 labourers and 104 drivers. The fleet of vehicles available for the purpose includes
dumper placers, trucks, tractors, market vans and heavy machines, totaling 162 vehicles. 41

36
labourers are involved in processing and disposing waste at disposal sites. The frequency of
transportation of waste from various waste storage depots is once or twice a day and the total
capacity of the fleet is 960 MT. Vehicles used for transportation of waste are covered on top.
Waste is not exposed to the open environment. All the containers are of a closed type.
Wherever open trucks are used, they are covered during transportation. There is limited waste
handling while the waste is being transported and unloaded by the dumper placers.
Currently, NMC is not following a scientific method of waste disposal. The city development
plan has earmarked two sites for waste disposal, Bhandewadi and Chikhlikhurd. The site at
Bhandewadi is being used for dumping at present. Decentralized waste management is being
practiced in a limited way. Waste generated from hotels, restaurants, mangal karyalaya
(marriage halls), vegetable markets, etc. is collected separately. This waste is collected daily,
and one-third of this (8-10 tonnes) is converted into vermi-compost. This is then used as
manure in the NMC gardens. Composting of other bio-degradable waste has also been started
in some NMC gardens and dahan ghats (cremation grounds). Development of a sanitary land
fill at the existing dumping site is in progress. A composting plant with the latest technology
is also being planned to be developed within the dumping site.
Treatment and disposal of bio-medical waste has been assigned to a private contractor on
Build Own Operate (BOO) basis. Dental clinics, dispensaries, blood banks, pathology
laboratories, homeopathic colleges, etc. have been covered. Under this scheme, NMC
receives Rs. 23.5 lakhs as an annual royalty fee. Land measuring about 0.25 acres has been
allocated to the contractor at Bhandewadi on a 30-year-lease.
The key issues with the solid waste management services of NMC can be thus summarized as
follows. Segregation at source is very limited. Mostly un-segregated municipal solid waste
(MSW) is disposed. People are reluctant to pay user charges and also there is a lack of strong
political will to promote segregation. The available manpower is inadequate to clear all the
containers /bins daily. The number of transfer stations or collection or storage centers is also
inadequate. While unloading into containers, there is handling of waste, which poses a threat
for the persons handling the waste. The system needs to be modernized further. Due to a
single and distant disposal site and lack of adequate transportation infrastructure, every
vehicle has to travel a long distance and spend a lot of time per trip. Finally, there is only one
existing disposal site at Bhandewadi, which would not meet future requirements. Presently,
all the MSW is simply dumped at the disposal site. Non-availability of proper disposal and
unloading facilities is a major concern, especially during monsoons.
4.1.5 Roads and public transport
Nagpur being almost at the geographical centre of India, all major highways and railways
pass via Nagpur. Nagpur city is at the junction of two National Highways, NH-6 and NH-7.
This has resulted in the city being a major trade and transportation centre. It is connected to
all metropolitan cities of India by air routes as well. The total length of roads in the city is
1907 km (Table 3), of which the length of major roads is 500 km, the remaining being the
internal roads. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has executed an Integrated Road
Development Project (IRDP) to improve the transportation system within the city limits.

The Integrated Road Development Project brought about a revolutionary change in the city.
Committed totally to this highly ambitious project, NMC and NIT have together given
Nagpur city an infrastructure in tune with the metros and in a record time. Initiated after
intensive survey and planning, the widening and construction of all major roads, streets,
junctions and highways of the city have been taken up. The roads have been reconstructed
and beautified with assistance from the State Govt.-owned Corporation, the Maharashtra
State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). The successful implementation of IRDP in
Nagpur city was initiated against a highly cynical backdrop with virtually non-existent
financial and technical support. It has set an example for every civic/corporate
body/individual/institute in the country to galvanize development and reforms in their cities
and thrive on challenges.
Parking facilities
Parking facilities in Nagpur are inadequate. It is evident from the fact that the city roads are
clogged with parked vehicles. This results in congestion on the roads and leaves little room
for pedestrians. It has become extremely important to develop and enforce strict parking
norms in new buildings and make suitable parking arrangements in public spaces. The ‘Pay
and Park’ system was thus developed and is under implementation in conjunction with IRDP.
Vehicle density and road safety
There are about 4.6 lakhs vehicles registered in Nagpur including two-wheelers, three-
wheelers and four-wheelers. About 280 vehicles are being added to this number everyday.

It has been a general experience that with improvement in road quality, there is considerable
growth in vehicle ownership. Nagpur has not experienced such a phenomenon so far. For
instance, Pune with a population of just over 25 lakhs (slightly higher than Nagpur) has
double the vehicular population of Nagpur. The number of vehicles per 1000 persons in
Nagpur is much lower than that prevailing in Chandigarh, Bangalore and Indore, though the
number is increasing at a rate significantly higher than that in these cities. The average
journey speed is around 25 km per hour, which is high in comparison to other Indian cities8.
Higher vehicular speeds along with poor traffic management is leading to a high number of
road accidents and rendering road safety a major area of concern for the citizens. As per the
citizens’ survey, about 36% of pedestrians and 46% of motorists feel that Nagpur roads are
unsafe.
Public transport
Nagpur’s public transportation system is operated and maintained by Maharashtra State Road
Transport Corporation (MSRTC). NMC has to work in close coordination with MSRTC to
improve the existing public transportation system. The responsibilities of the Traffic
Department of NMC in consultation with the Traffic Police Department, include traffic-
related works such as installation and maintenance of traffic signals and improvement of
traffic junctions.
The existing public transportation system of the city is highly inadequate, in terms of both
capacity and reliability. MSRTC operates city buses, which cater to about 6% of city trips.
Travel demand in the city is primarily catered to by personal modes and auto-rickshaws.

Overall, Nagpur has a better road infrastructure as compared to that of other cities in India.
With the anticipated growth in economic activity in the city, there will be a corresponding
rise in purchasing power amongst its citizens. This will trigger a massive increase in vehicle
ownership patterns in the city. This might become an issue due to related problems like
safety, congestion, pollution, etc. The city needs to prepare itself for these problems in
advance. Solutions may lie in widening the road network in congested areas, introducing
better parking norms and facilities, strictly enforcing encroachment norms, practicing
scientific traffic management and instituting an effective public transportation system.
4.1.6 Street lighting
The provision of street lights as well as their replacement and maintenance is the
responsibility of Nagpur Municipal Corporation. After the roads were widened under the
IRDP, it was observed that the street lighting was inadequate. Therefore, to improve
illumination levels, the City Lighting Improvement Project (CLIP) was taken up. All the 60
major roads constructed under IRDP were provided with sodium vapour lights. Similarly,
high masts were provided at 60 traffic junctions. The overhead lines, HT and LT poles, have
been replaced with underground cables. Tube lights have been replaced by sodium vapour
lights on all the major roads. The new system also has energy-saving devices, automatic
switch-on-switch-off arrangements, closed luminaries, etc. The Corporation has entrusted the
entire work of managing the tube lights and other fixtures to various contractors in different
wards.
There are about 71,738 street lights in Nagpur9. The number of connections per unit of road
length was found to be comparable to cities like Bangalore, Indore and Chandigarh. The
percentage of connections in working condition is the highest in Nagpur compared to other

4.1.7 Education
A few decades back, educational facilities were totally in the hands of the Nagpur Municipal
Corporation and Zilla Parishad. Recently, private educational institutions have been showing
interest in the city. Nagpur can already boast of some high quality schools. Students from
other countries come to Nagpur to study in these schools. Besides schools, institutions for
higher-level education, like medical and engineering colleges, are also present in the city in
good numbers.
As per Census of 2001, the total population of Nagpur city was about 20.5 lakhs, of which
about 2.4 lakhs are children of less than six years of age, while 2.6 lakhs are aged between 6-
20 years. Of these, about 4.6 lakhs are enrolled in schools. About 1250 students are enrolled
in the 12 medical colleges whereas 3192 students are completing their education in 15
engineering colleges.
4.1.8 Medical facilities
Nagpur provides medical facilities across service levels and categories. There are numerous
full-service hospitals in the city. These are owned and operated by several agencies including
the central government, charity organizations, corporates, etc. Some of these are listed below.
Table 5. List of medical facilities in Nagpur

Besides these, there are about 750 nursing homes. Overall, there are about 7500 hospital beds
in the city. These are duly supplemented by 39 dispensaries and six mobile dispensaries,
which are run by the Municipal Corporation. The city’s medical infrastructure also includes
3000 private clinics and 67 pathology laboratories and blood banks. It caters to patients
coming from villages around the city and even from Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and
Chattisgarh. A large number of these people come to the city for specialty health care.
While the population of the city is increasing day by day, the number of beds of government
hospitals remains more or less constant. There is an urgent need to expand the bed strength of
these hospitals to satisfy the growing demand. Since poor and below-poverty-line patients go

41
to these hospitals, it is extremely important to increase the bed strength of the Government
Medical College and the Daga Hospital.
4.2 Access of slum dwellers to basic services
Urban poverty and the growth of slums in Nagpur reflect a skewed development process, one
in which the seat of enterprise and industry in the city have led to the large-scale migration of
both unskilled and skilled workforce. But land availability, affordable housing and services
standards have not been able to keep pace with the influx.
In Nagpur, 40% of the population lives in slums. There are about 427 slum pockets in the city
spread over an area of about 17 sq. km. Of the 427 slums, 292 slums housing 80% of the
slum population are notified. In 1997, the slum population of Nagpur was about 6.61 lakhs,
which increased to 7.4 lakhs in 2001 and 8.08 lakhs in 2005, thus showing a growth of 22%
in the last eight years. This statistic is alarming for a growing city like Nagpur. (The
demographic characteristics of the slum population of Nagpur have already been covered in
section 3.4). The slums are spread over the geographical expanse of the city. The area of slum
pockets varies from 2,000 to 50,000 sq. m.
In order to formulate a workable solution, the issue of slum rehabilitation has been addressed
through a zonal approach. The city has been divided into five zones, manageable in terms of
size and population. A large number of slum pockets exist in the north and west, followed by
the east zone.

Total 427 113345 6.5 1621.46
Source: Slum department, NMC
The number of BPL (below poverty line) families has also been constantly increasing in the
city. As per the Social Welfare Department of NMC, the total BPL population in 1997-98
was 4.1 lakhs; this increased to 10.25 lakhs in 2005.
The exact statistics regarding access to basic services in the slums is not available with
NMC. This poses a serious limitation for the decision-makers, for identifying the exact extent
of gaps in basic infrastructure. In the process of preparation of the City Development Plan,
various consultations have been held with stakeholders including relevant officials from
NMC, slum dwellers and representatives from NGOs working in the slum areas. Some of the
key issues highlighted during the consultations are explained below.
Slum pockets are located in low lying and water logged areas and face problems of general
squalid conditions, unhygienic surroundings, and temporary structures. Malnutrition, poor

42
civic amenities, and inadequate sanitation are widespread in the slums increasing the
vulnerability of the urban poor.
The low income levels in the slums adversely affect their ability to pay for basic services like
water, sanitation, education and health. Slums dwellers are mostly employed in the informal
sector and lack social security and safety nets. Thus they cannot access credit to maintain or
upgrade their residential units.
The current city planning approach has neglected the significance of informal sector
establishments for the city. There is a need to create better infrastructure facilities for the
informal work force that supplies cheap labour to the city. Availability of resting sheds,
water, sanitation facilities, etc. on these sites is almost completely lacking. Development
plans should identify and demarcate hawking and non-hawking zones in the city. The areas
for these zones and parking stands for rickshaw pullers should be accurately worked out. The
absence of such planning has intensified the problem of traffic congestion in the city.
Slum redevelopment schemes are often implemented in isolation by government agencies,

without consulting the slum dwellers. The involvement of NGOs and CBOs has also been
minimal in the planning and implementation of slum development schemes. In most cases,
investment does not match priority needs. This is especially relevant in the case of relocation
programs. Training and capacity building of NMC, NGOs and CBOs should be taken up for
implementing schemes through a participatory mechanism.
The quality of construction in the programs undertaken by NMC, NIT and MHADA in the
last few years has been extremely poor. There is a clear need to demarcate plots for EWS and
LIG housing, keeping in mind the location of work places. Schemes also need to enable the
slum dwellers to avail of appropriate credit facilities for housing and other uses.
Most of the existing slum settlements lack basic layout planning and hence do not allow
access to emergency services like ambulance, fire engines, etc. This factor should be taken
into account while planning future schemes.
Some of the notified slum areas already have adequate infrastructure, pucca housing and
good living conditions. These should be de-notified as slum settlements and listed under the
normal housing stock category in the city. This would ensure focused investments in priority
areas. To make this important change, proper coordination between various developmental
agencies including NMC, NIT, and MHADA is needed.
Approach so far
Several schemes have been implemented in the past to alleviate the living conditions of the
slum population. Some of them are:
• National Slum Development Project for provision of basic social and physical amenities
for the poor;
• Low Cost Sanitation Programme for construction of latrines and pay and use toilets;
• Lok Awas Yojana, sponsored by the Maharashtra State Government for low cost housing;
residential units were constructed by slum dwellers themselves; and

43
• VAMBAY (Valmiki Ambedkar Malin Basti Awas Yojana), jointly sponsored by the
Central and State Government for low cost housing.
The past schemes focused on the provision of physical infrastructure without taking into
account the views of the slum dwelling community. So the amenities provided were
underutilized, as the users were not taken into confidence. NMC under the Slum
Rehabilitation Act (SRA) has initiated the SUN (Slum Up-gradation Nagpur) plan to make
Nagpur a slum-free city. It involves rehabilitation and integration of socially and
economically backward urban citizens. This project aims at an integrated approach to solve
the slum problem with special emphasis on economic upliftment.
The primary goal of the proposed plan is to provide an improved quality of life to the slum
dwellers based on the concept of HIKES (Healthy Living, Income Generation, Knowledge,
Environmental Sensitivity and Socio-cultural Development). An integrated development
approach has been attempted which envisages the pooling of open spaces and other facilities
for common use as far as possible. The implementation of rehabilitation projects considers
various factors such as the preparation of lists of all slum dwellers, issue of the same with
proper identification so that they are not dispossessed of their dwellings, preparation of the
slum dwellers for vacating their houses, coordination of construction activities, relocation of
slum residents to transit tenements and finally their rehabilitation in the new tenements. The
rehabilitation cost over the 2005-2011 period is estimated to be Rs.1350 crores. The scheme
will be implemented by NMC with private sector participation.
Considering the public private partnership arrangement and the current land demand scenario
in Nagpur, it is likely that only select schemes would be commercially viable under SRA. For
the rest of the slums, in-situ development schemes should be promoted.
4.3 Physical and environmental aspects

The physical aspects of land relate to the availability of land, land usage pattern, extent of
open spaces, etc. Land management is the most important aspect of city development; it has
the potential to be the biggest facilitator or the most critical constraint for development. Land
development principles of the city should be closely aligned with the economic and
infrastructure base of the city.
The environment of a city is a critical determinant of the health of its inhabitants and
consequently productivity. Environmental pollution has become a matter of concern in many
cities in recent decades due to population explosion, industrialisation, urbanisation and
increase in transportation. The issues regarding potable water quality have already been
discussed in section 4.1.1. The following section deals with the status of water bodies and
levels of air and noise pollution in the city. The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board
(MPCB) is responsible for monitoring water quality (both surface and ground) and air
quality.

44
4.3.1 Land use10
Since the environmental status of a city is a function of the carrying capacity of the watershed
based on the sustainable development concept, discussion of the entire Nagpur District is
appropriate. The Nagpur District covers an area of 9854 sq. kms. Eight categories of land use
have been delineated in the Nagpur District using LANDSAT imagery on 1:250,000 scale
and these have been supplemented with the vegetation map.11 The eight categories are dense
forest (Ramtek, Umrer, Hingna, and Narkher Tehsils), sparse forest (Katol, Umrer, Bhivapur,
Mauda and Parseoni Tehsils), scrub land (Kuhi, Bhivapur, Hingna and Katol Tehsils), barren
land (Parseoni, Katol, Hingna, Kuhi and Bhivapur), ravine land (banks of Kanhan and Wunna
rivers and their tributaries), fallow land, mines (hilly parts of Ramtek and Umrer Tehsils) and
cultivated land. About two-thirds of the District is under cultivated land, followed by forest
land (19%), ravines (6.57%), scrubs (6.37%) and fallow land (2.84%). Less than 1% of the
land is under the mining and barren land category. Overall, the dense forest cover provides
environmental buffer for the city. Large areas under scrub and fallow land also provide
adequate scope for expansion.
A comparison of previous land use records reveals that the forest area of Nagpur District has
decreased due to excessive human interference and cultivation has extended to marginal
lands. The sparse forests and scrublands manifest degradation in the biota of the region and
are usually associated with eroded hills, ridges, tablelands and their foot slopes.
The total area within the Municipal Corporation’s limit is 217.56 sq. km. of which only 83.40
sq. km. (38%) is developed. About 38% of the land is under agriculture and forest cover and
4% is under nallahs and water bodies. The balance 20% cannot be developed. The
distribution of the developed area (as on 25th Sept. 1984) is given in Figure 11.
As per Urban Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines, the
land use distribution of developed land (as proposed in Development Plan) conforms to the
guidelines in the case of residential usage (Figure 11). Though only 2% of the land is under
parks and gardens (recreational spaces), this is adequately supplemented by the large forest
cover in the city. But, land under commercial usage needs to be increased further, while the
proportion of land earmarked for public and semi-public use may be decreased12.

The assessment is based on a land use pattern proposed in the Development Plan (1986-2011). The actual land
usage pattern may be different. The actual land use pattern status is not available with NMC. They are in the
process of procuring GIS based land use maps.

Discussions with stakeholders including NMC and NIT officials reveal that the land demand/
supply situation is well-balanced in the city. A large percentage of land within the municipal
limits remains unutilized or under-utilized (in terms of permissible FSI). The FSI norms
under the current development control rules are conservative. With the growth in demand,
and various infrastructure up-gradation schemes underway, the norms may be revised in
select areas, allowing high density development.
A similar situation prevails with respect to the city’s housing stock as well. There is adequate
housing stock available in the city, catering to all income groups. In spite of that, almost 40%
of the population lives in slums. But, it has been noted (as mentioned in the previous section)
that a large number of slum pockets are in the form of pucca housing and have adequate
infrastructure provisions. Slum dwellers have also expressed preference for in-situ
development over housing schemes. Thus, the overall land and housing situation in Nagpur is
positive. Proper implementation processes can ensure adequate support to the anticipated
economic surge.
4.3.2 Gardens and plantations
Due to tremendous population growth coupled with the increasing number of vehicles plying
on the roads, the pollution in the city has been increasing over the last few years. However,
the green cover in and around the city and continuous tree plantation projects have helped
safeguard the environment to some extent. There are about 95 parks and gardens in the city
covering about 102 ha. This is just 0.5% of the city areas, while it must be at least 1.8% as
per the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) Act.
NMC develops and maintains the open spaces through its Garden Department. The functions
of the department include maintaining existing gardens, developing new gardens as per the
norms and needs of the citizens and developing and maintaining landscapes/greenery
cultivated on road dividers, intersections and channelizers. The department performs its
duties as per the Maharashtra (urban areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975, which covers
aspects like plantation of trees, preservation of existing trees, and tree census after every five
years and grant of permission to citizens to cut trees, subject to specific conditions.

46
Various greening efforts were undertaken in Nagpur in the last few years. Roadside trees or
plantations that were affected during the Integrated Road Development Project, about 700
roadside plantations, were uprooted and replanted. NMC and NIT had undertaken a
programme to plant one lakh trees during 2002-03 in the NMC area. The programme was
taken up with the active participation of schools, social organizations, private institutions and
citizens. The saplings were provided free of cost to all the interested parties.
Nagpur had received recognition as the second greenest city in India. But the tempo of tree
plantation has not been maintained and greenery has declined substantially. The key issues
regarding development and maintenance of green spaces and road side plantations are water
scarcity during summer season, air pollution due to increased vehicular traffic and lack of
civic sense among citizens.
4.3.3 Lakes and rivers
There are several natural water bodies within the city limits including 12 lakes, two rivers and
five nallahs. The lakes (Gorewada, Futala, Ambazari, Sonegaon, Sakkardara, Gandhisagar,
Lendi Talao, Naik Talao, Dob Talao, Pandrabodi, Sanjay Nagar Khadan and Pardi) cover an
area of about 3.13 sq. km.. The Nag and Pili Rivers cut across the city and are 15.73 km. and
12.11km. in length, respectively. Besides these, Chamar Nallah, Shakti Nagar Nallah,
Hudkeshwar Nallah, Swawalabmi Nagar Nallah and Sahakar Nagar Nallah also flow through
the city.
Though exact data is not available, it has been observed that all the water bodies are highly
polluted. This is mainly due to the free flow of untreated sewage into these rivers and nallahs.
The water quality data for some of the lakes is given in Table 7.
Stakeholder consultations have also revealed that some of the lakes have been filled for
development purposes. In some cases, slums have expanded into lake areas. This is not only
leading to lake degradation, but also poses a threat for the slum population. Issues have also
been raised regarding the nature of development around the lakes. Intensive activities around
the river bodies are also adversely affecting the bio-diversity. Clear reservations need to be
marked and strictly implemented for the water bodies. Also, strong steps need to be taken for
the rejuvenation of these water bodies. Some beautification and recreational projects have
been taken up for the Ambazari and Gandhisagar Lakes. Similar activities have been
proposed for Futala, Sakkardara and Naik Talao.

4.3.4 Air and noise pollution
Nagpur is a centrally located land-locked city with moderate commercial and industrial
growth. It is a center of industry, education and agriculture in the Vidarbha region. The
strategic location of the city has led to rapid expansion and increased environmental
problems, especially air, water and noise pollution. The city also experiences a high floating
population causing pressure on its civic services. As mentioned in the previous section,
Nagpur has maintained its green cover to a large extent. The ecological balance is positive
and its land to population ratio is also favorable. However, with further increase in
population, this situation may change soon. Hence, conscious steps would need to be taken
for ensuring the city’s environmental sustainability.
Air Quality Index (AQI) indicates overall pollution concentration in the air. The higher the
index value, the greater is the level of air pollution and health risk. The AQI for Nagpur for
the 60-month period 1997-2002 has been given below.

The AQI computed for the industrial area during the five-year period (1997-2002) highlights
that the pollution level was the highest during December 1998 (93.22%) and lowest during
August 1997 (17.54%). In the commercial areas, during the months of October and December
1999, the AQI crossed the permissible limit of 100% marginally. In the residential areas, it
ranged between 73.9% and 76.0%. Overall, the AQI was within the permissible limit almost
the entire period and was within ‘fair’ limits for most of the period.
To assess the level of specific pollutants, i.e., suspended particulate material (SPM), SO2 and
NO2, data was collected over a five-year period on an eight-hourly basis. The following
figures present the observations made at 15 points across the city in the February 2003.

The concentration of SPM (in commercial and residential areas) has crossed permissible
limits in some instances during this period. The current status (2003) indicates that in all
residential and commercial areas, the SPM concentration is above the prescribed limits at all
the observation points (Figure 12). The increase in SPM does not necessarily occur due to
vehicular pollution alone. The untidy conditions of the roads with debris and lack of
vegetation along their alignment also contribute to the pollution. The problem becomes
severe in congested areas where construction schemes accumulate building materials and
debris gathers in carriageways due to the shortage of adequate and appropriate space. The
concentration of SPM (industrial), SO2 and NO2 in Nagpur is well within the limits as per
NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of India) standards during
1997-2001.
It may be concluded that air quality in Nagpur is very good in spite of the fact that the city
provides facilities similar to that of a metropolitan city. The current low level of pollutants
give the city an edge over others in terms of offering a good quality of life. The high levels of
SPM are mainly due to construction activity and road dust, which should decrease by the time
the current phase of hectic construction concludes.
Noise pollution
During various activities such as the movement of people, machinery and vehicles, a certain
amount of noise is generated. When noise levels are very high, it leads to adverse effects on
the health of the citizens. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has specified

49
permissible limits of noise for different types of areas. To assess the noise levels in different
areas of Nagpur, a survey was carried out in March 2003.
It was observed that in the residential areas, noise is exceeding the limits during the daytime.
The levels at night in most cases are observed to be within limits. In the case of commercial
areas, noise levels exceed the permissible limits during both day and night time (Figure 14).
This is mainly due to high vehicular traffic.

Noise levels in the silent zones exceed the limits in most of the cases in both day and night
time. This clearly indicates the need to enforce the regulations more stringently and declare
such areas as silent zones as required by the noise pollution control rules.
4.4 Institutional structure of urban governance

The Municipal Council for Nagpur was established in 1864. At that time, the area under the
jurisdiction of the Nagpur Municipal Council was 15.5 sq. km and the population was 82,000.

50
The duties entrusted to the Nagpur Municipal Council were to maintain cleanliness and
arrange for street lights and water supply with government assistance. In 1922, the Central
Provinces & Berar Municipalities Act was framed for the proper functioning of the Municipal
Council.
On 22nd January 1950, CP & Berar Act No. 2 was published in the Madhya Pradesh Gazette
which is known as the City of Nagpur Corporation Act, 1948 (CNC Act). The Municipal
Corporation came into existence in March 1951. The first development plan of the city was
prepared in 1953. In the year 1956, under the state reconstitution, the Berar Province merged
into the Maharashtra State with Mumbai being recognised as its capital; in 1960, Nagpur was
declared as the second capital of the state.
As per the CNC Act, 1948, the key responsibility for providing Nagpur’s citizens basic urban
services lies with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. These services include water supply,
sewerage, waste management, slum improvement, land use planning, construction and
maintenance of internal roads, street lighting, maintenance of parks and gardens, providing
primary health and education facilities, etc. NMC co-ordinates with various other government
organizations like NIT, MHADA, MSRTC, the Traffic Police, MPCB, etc. for delivering
these basic urban services. (Details of the responsibilities have been given in Annexure III.)
Some other important government agencies involved directly/ indirectly in providing services
to the citizens are listed below:
• The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) provides and maintains the
bus based public transportation system in Nagpur.
• The city police maintain general law and order in the city. It also provides protection to
VIPs and VVIPs visiting the city.
• The Archaeological Department of India protects heritage structures of national
significance. It also maintains the central museum of the city.
• Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited
(MTNL) provide communication services.
• The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) provides assistance and
tourism related facilities at select places around the city.
4.4.1 Structure of Nagpur Municipal Corporation
The Corporation elects a Mayor who along with a Deputy Mayor heads the organization. He
carries out the activities through various committees such as the Standing Committee, health
and sanitation committee, education committee, water works, public works, public health and
market committee. The administrative head of the Corporation is the Municipal
Commissioner, who along with the Deputy Municipal Commissioners, carries out various
activities related to engineering, health and sanitation, taxation and its recovery. Various
departments such as public relations, library, health, finance, buildings, slums, roads, street
lighting, traffic, establishment, gardens, public works, local audit, legal services, water
works, education, octroi and fire services manage their specific activities. The activities of
NMC are administered by its zonal offices. There are 10 zonal offices in Nagpur – Laxmi
Nagar, Dharampeth, Hanuman Nagar, Dhantoli, Nehru Nagar, Gandhi Baugh, Sataranjipura,
Lakkadganj, Ashi Nagar and Mangalwari. As per NMC’s records, it has 10,450 employees at
present (against a requirement of 12596) across more than 20 departments. The
organizational structure of NMC is shown in Figure 15.

4.4.2 Public private partnerships
NMC has also entered into public-private partnership contracts for the delivery of some its
services. The level of private participation varies across services. A summary of these has
been given in Table 9.

4.4.3 Key issues
The land management function in Nagpur is handled by two agencies – Nagpur Improvement
Trust (NIT) and Nagpur Municipal Corporation. The current Development Plan (1996-2011)
was prepared by NIT. As per the Government of Maharashtra notification, dated 27th
February 2001, NMC has been permitted to exercise the powers of a Planning Authority in
the entire area under its jurisdiction except the areas covered by the seven NIT schemes.
These schemes cover about one-third of Nagpur’s municipal area. Hence, NIT’s role within
the city area is limited to the regularization and maintenance of unauthorized layouts under
the Gunthewari Act. Eventually, these schemes would also be handed over to NMC. NIT is
also preparing development plans for select metropolitan schemes15 in fringe areas. But due
to the lack of financial resources, NIT is unable to acquire land for developing these schemes.
Land pooling options are not provided for under the NIT legislations. Also, there is a need to
constitute a planning authority for the urban agglomeration, supported with modern land
management legislations. Hence, in the current institutional arrangement, the significance and
viability of NIT has become minimal.
Secondly, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation Act does not mention that the provision of
public transport is the responsibility of NMC. Thus, Maharashtra State Road Transport
Corporation (MSRTC) has taken the responsibility of providing bus transport services in
Nagpur. For MSRTC, the provision of urban transport in cities like Nagpur is a loss making
operation. This strains its already fragile financials. MSRTC is thus not keen on expanding its
service in the city of Nagpur. For instance, in 1999 there were about 250 MSRTC buses
serving Nagpur city while in 2006, the number stands at 175. MSRTC is willing to transfer
the responsibility to NMC. But NMC does not have the financial or managerial capacity to
provide urban transport services. This has led to considerable deterioration in service levels in
the city.
4.5 Financial profile of Nagpur Municipal Corporation

The finances of NMC have been reviewed for the five-year period 2001-2005. The items of
both receipts and expenditure are classified under revenue and capital accounts as per their
sources and uses. In 2004-05, the revenue income of NMC has grown to Rs.324 crores from
Rs.232 crores in 2000-01. During this period, revenues have registered a compounded annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%, while revenue expenditure has increased at a CAGR of 9.0%.
15
These refer to layouts whose development is the responsibility of NIT.

53
In absolute terms, the revenue expenditure in 2004-05 was Rs.254 crores. The revenue
account surplus in 2004-05 was Rs.78 crores.

Own Sources
Own source income includes income from octroi, property tax, other taxes and non-tax
income in the form of income from municipal properties and other miscellaneous income.
Income from own sources accounted for over almost 88% of total revenue income (2004-05),
indicating low dependence of NMC on external sources for its operations. The own sources
have grown at a CAGR of over 6.4% during the 2001-2005 period. Grants, which contribute
about 12.5% of total revenue income, have been growing at a higher pace than own sources
in the period under review.
Octroi
Octroi is a local tax charged on all goods entering the city; it is levied based on the category
of goods (weight, numbers, etc.). It is the single largest source of NMC’s income accounting
for about 47.1% of municipal revenue income in 2004-05; during the review period, it has
registered a CAGR of 8.5%. In 2004-05, octroi revenues reported a year-on-year (y-o-y)
growth of 14.3%.
Property Tax
The tax collected on property includes various other taxes levied as part of property tax. It
consists of general tax on properties, sewerage tax, water tax, light tax, education cess and
EGS cess. It is charged based as a percentage of Annual Rental Value (ARV). The education
cess and EGS cess are collected on behalf of the State Government.
In NMC, the property tax accounted for about 18% of municipal revenue income (2004-05)
and registered a CAGR of 5.5%. The overall collection performance stands at about 52% of
the total demand (2004-05), indicating scope for further improvement of collection
efficiency.

4.5.3 Cost recovery on services
Water supply
In the case of water supply, NMC’s revenue expenditure exceeds revenue income in each of
the years of operation being reviewed. For sustainability of operations, it is important that
NMC is able to realise 85% recovery of revenue expenditure.
Table 17. Water supply income and expenditure

Capital Expenditure 2274 4156 1853 528
Sewerage
NMC collects sewerage charges as part of property tax collection. The sewerage network is
estimated to cover only 70% of the population. But the sewerage tax is levied on all
properties irrespective of the existence or non-existence of a sewerage network. The
sewerage tax collected is higher than the cost incurred on operating and maintaining the
sewerage system. The sewerage system is inadequate at present. Also, the sewage treatment
plant has a capacity of 100 MLD while the daily sewage generation is to the extent of 285
MLD. The untreated sewage is the cause of ground water pollution in several places in the
city. The current revenues will prove to be insufficient to meet the operation and
maintenance expenditure of a sewerage system built to provide 100% geographical coverage
and adequate sewage treatment capacity.

Solid Waste Management

NMC currently incurs a revenue expenditure of about Rs.35 crores (2004-05) on solid waste
management while there is no direct revenue generated under this head. NMC incurs an
expenditure of Rs.5.5 per household for door-to-door collection of solid waste. NMC plans to
gradually recover this from every household. The revenues realised will be less than Rs.3
crores. This is insufficient to cover the expenses incurred by the Solid Waste Department.

5. DEVELOPING A VISION FOR THE CITY
The vision for Nagpur was formulated by stakeholders through a consensus approach and
continued consultation with the community in an integrated manner. The consultations
revolved around the city’s strengths, current issues, concerns, problems and the areas that
need to be focussed on to achieve the desired results. The citizens also formulated the sector
wise mission statements.
5.1 Steps leading to preparation of vision and mission statements

After completing a rapid assessment of the city’s infrastructure, physical and environmental
aspects, and institutional and financial status, a consultative process was started with a
capacity building session for NMC Officials.
The workshop held on January 17th, 2006, served to explain the purpose of the CDP, the
ownership of the plan, and the need for establishing or strengthening partnerships to leverage
NMC’s role in facilitating economic growth and improving quality of life. The officials of
other government departments such as telecommunications, transport and power who have a
stake in the development of the city were also involved in this workshop.
This was followed by a capacity building session for stakeholders. Several workshops were
conducted to inform various stakeholders about the objectives of JNNURM and the process
of preparing the CDP. These included sessions for business groups, trade associations, clubs
and NGOs.
In order to reach out to a larger section of people, several mass communication steps were
taken. A JNNURM workshop was conducted for representatives of the press and the
electronic media. The objective was to publicize the CDP and motivate people to involve
themselves in its preparation. Suggestions and comments were solicited from citizens by way
of newspaper articles and interviews, emails and ‘CDP suggestion boxes’ kept in every NMC
ward office. Banners inviting suggestions and comments were placed at several vantage
locations in the city.
In an effort to trigger a discussion in every household, school children were encouraged to

answer in short sentences questions like ‘What do you like about Nagpur?’, ‘What do you
dislike about Nagpur?’ and ‘I dream of Nagpur as …’ It was envisaged that answering these
simple but thought-provoking questions would precipitate a larger discussion amongst
parents and elder stakeholders of the city. To this end, a public meeting was arranged; about
200 teachers attended it. The teachers were asked to collect responses from students in the
form of essays and send the best responses and a compilation of the same to the ward offices.
On 23rd January, a kick-off workshop with NMC officials was organized. This workshop
focused on highlighting the current status of all the services provided by various NMC
departments and the key issues confronting each department. Each department of NMC
outlined its vision for the city of Nagpur and a plan of action that it would follow to realize
the vision. In a seven-hour workshop, all the NMC departments presented their findings.

59
As a follow-up to the kick-off workshop, CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory on behalf of NMC

consulted several stakeholders individually. Through these interviews, the stakeholders got an
opportunity to articulate what steps they see as necessary for the further economic growth of
Nagpur and the improvement of its quality of life. The stakeholder workshops conducted
prior to individual consultations had paved the way for a more productive and meaningful
discussion on the state of affairs in Nagpur city.
The consultations held so far were concluded with a visioning workshop with stakeholders.
NMC officials and the stakeholders together carried out the visioning exercise at this
workshop. The workshop started with a plenary session in which the NMC mission
statements and the perceived needs of the stakeholders were compared and presented. The
comparison also served to identify additional priorities not mentioned by the NMC officials
as well as discrepancies between the services proposed by NMC and the stakeholders’
perception of such services. The aim of the plenary session was to reach an initial consensus
on the main focus areas. Breakout sessions followed to deliberate how NMC and the
stakeholders could reduce the city’s weaknesses and contribute to the city’s strengths.
Detailing of the mission statements was done by identifying major actions required to
overcome impediments or build upon opportunities for economic growth and/or improved
quality of life. During the workshop, action areas were identified and mapped and
stakeholders were identified for each mission statement.
In the course of the workshop, the participants were divided into groups. Each group
represented a particular sector. The participants were given an opportunity to select a group,
discuss issues in their respective sector and present their findings to all the participants for
further discussions. The stakeholder groups presented their perspectives. This was followed
by a concluding presentation by the Commissioner of NMC.
5.2 Vision for Nagpur

As a result of the above-mentioned workshops with NMC officials and stakeholders in
Nagpur, the vision for Nagpur is emerging as follows:
… An eco-city that provides adequate, equitable, sustainable access to urban services for
all citizens
The workshops have also indicated that to achieve this vision, NMC should support the
following growth themes:
• The city should attain a key position in IT, ITES and health services related industries
• Support industrialization in its hinterland
• Promote education, culture and tourism
To achieve the growth and vision defined above, certain mission statements were also defined
for every sector. Some of the key mission statements are given below. These are followed by
individual vision and mission statements.

60
• 100% coverage in water supply and improved service levels

• 100% coverage in sewage collection
• Improved road safety and better traffic management through provision of flyovers,
bridges, parking facilities, etc.
• 100% solid waste collection efficiency and disposal of waste in environmentally friendly
manner
5.3 Sector specific mission statements
Keeping this vision in mind, the stakeholders and NMC officials designed the mission
statements for each sector.
5.3.1 Water supply and distribution
“Water for all and 24 x 7 supply” was the identified sector vision.
To achieve this vision, NMC officials and stakeholders suggested that a water audit and
energy program should be implemented. NMC should strengthen the water supply system.
While implementing the Pench-IV water supply project, raw water transportation losses
should be minimized. Steps must be taken in the direction of augmentation of water sources
and encouragement of water reuse.
5.3.2 Sewerage
“100% coverage in sewage collection and treatment” was the identified sector vision.
NMC must identify projects for strengthening the existing sewerage network. There is a need
to set up sewage treatment plants to meet the current demand-supply gap. While designing
the new sewage system for the city, changing old and defective sewer lines must be
considered.
“Strengthening and rejuvenation of natural drainage system” was the identified sector vision.
NMC must focus on the rejuvenation of the Nag and Pilli Rivers, nallah canalization and
hence the strengthening of the natural drainage system. Lake rejuvenation must be included
in the development process as a priority area. All the roads must have storm water drains to
prevent flooding during peak periods.
“Clean city, bin-free city” was the identified sector vision.
Current waste dumping practices do not conform to the Supreme Court Solid Waste
Management and Handling Rules. The development of a landfill site is a must. NMC should
strive for 100% door-to-door waste collection. Strategies should be formulated and

61
implemented to ensure segregation of waste at source and waste composting at the micro-
level. Waste to energy projects should also be encouraged to improve financial viability.
5.3.5 Roads and transport
“Safe and efficient traffic management” was the identified sector vision.
The present road network would need improvement to meet future demand. Road
improvement should include road widening, rail over bridges (ROBs), and the planning of
flyovers to minimize traffic congestion. Development of the outer ring road should be made a
priority. NMC and other concerned authorities should adopt modern traffic management
methods like GPRS systems and intelligent traffic management systems. Installing proper
traffic signage, signals and road markings should also be a priority area.
5.3.6 Housing and slum upgradation
“Slum free city” was the identified sector vision.
Access to basic services by slum dwellers must be ensured. Slum rehabilitation program
should be focused upon. More EWS/LIG housing should be provided by the government.
Other facilities like public toilets, night shelters, destitute children’s homes, beggars’ homes,
working women’s hostels and marriage halls should also be provided.

6. STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING NAGPUR’S VISION
City Development Plan strategies may be defined as steps that the city needs to take to bridge
the gap between its existing situation and where it wishes to reach (or the city vision). After
defining the vision for the city and mission statements for various focus areas, close
consultations were held with various action groups (identified in the visioning workshop).
Various alternative strategies were identified by the groups. The final list of strategies was
carefully drawn up and prioritised based on the degree of expected outcomes and target group
preferences.
6.1 Steps leading to definition and prioritisation of strategies

Phase II started with focus group discussions with stakeholders to identify and define actions
needed to achieve a particular mission statement. The discussions were held between the last
week of February and first week of March. Simultaneously, a citizens’ survey was conducted
through an independent research agency to assess the performance of the Nagpur Municipal
Corporation. The survey also aimed at assessing citizens’ demand for various urban services.
NMC’s credit strength was also assessed to determine its creditworthiness and to identify
financial reforms required to sustain various investments proposed by NMC under JNNURM.
Phase II concluded with the third stakeholders’ workshop conducted on 12th March 2006. At
this workshop, the findings of all the above three activities were presented to NMC officials
and stakeholders. Based on these, the stakeholders refined and prioritised the strategies and
action plans for their respective groups. Individually, they also assigned priorities to
investments across various sectors and projects, keeping in mind, the findings of the demand
survey and credit strength assessment.
6.2 Sector-wise strategies

Strategies for each focus area have been discussed below in the order of priority, as assigned
by the stakeholders. The order only indicates the level of significance of each strategy i.e.
project or reform. It does not indicate the chronological order in which these strategies would
be implemented.
6.2.1 Local economy

Nagpur city’s population has been growing at a moderate pace compared to some of the other
major cities in the country. The moderate rate of growth can be taken as a proxy to absence of
a vibrant economic environment. This is despite Nagpur city and its surrounding regions
having considerable economic potential both by way of human and natural resources. Agro-
processing, steel and allied industries, textiles, transportation and IT are some of the
industries that can drive the economy of Nagpur and its surrounding regions. The MIHAN
project is expected to trigger several economic activities in the region. The SEZ adjoining the
MIHAN project has plans to accommodate those businesses and industries in which the city
has competitive advantages. IT, textile and super-speciality health care centres will be set up
in the proposed SEZ area. The MIHAN project along with the SEZ represent the core
strengths of Nagpur city. It will be an important project that will market the economic

63
potential that resides in the city. The early fruition of this project will accelerate the pace of
economic growth in the region.
The lack of adequate and appropriate employment opportunities in the city of Nagpur has
been one of the key concerns for stakeholders. Nagpur though bestowed with several good
quality higher education institutions has been unsuccessful in retaining its educated youth for
employment. The presence of projects like MIHAN can absorb a significant portion of the
technical and skilled manpower graduating from the numerous educational institutions in and
around the city.
NMC hitherto has not been directly responsible for fostering economic development in the
city. However in a service driven economic environment, good quality of urban life has
become an important ingredient to attract investments. NMC thus has an important role to
play in fostering an environment, which is conducive to business.
The existing organizational structure of NMC does not provide for a department, which deals
with economic development. NMC should provide a single window for all business and
commercial groups to deal with matters pertaining to various civic services and approvals. It
is recommended that NMC should have an economic development cell, which will act as an
interface for all issues raised by commercial and business groups.
NMC has to re-orient itself to meet the needs of its citizens. This will necessitate that NMC
takes adequate steps to build capacity within its employees to perform effectively. This
transformation is not possible without inducting qualified personnel into the ranks of the
organization. NMC should be seen as a professional organization, which is very serious about
the development of the city.
Nagpur has to compete with several other cities in the country to attract investors to set up
operations in the city. It should be the aim of NMC to simplify the approval processes, which
will allow industries to undertake investment activities in the city. It has been seen that in
industries such as IT and health, Nagpur has considerable potential to grow. NMC in order to
exploit the potential in these industries should offer them lower octroi duties to set up their
operations.
NMC will have to incorporate the needs of these industries in the land use plan it prepares.
There is a need to earmark land areas for specific industries like IT. NMC owns several
vacant lands in prime locations in the city. This land should be exploited in partnerships with
the private sector. IT parks and health care facilities should be developed on these lands.
Nagpur city has considerable potential for vertical expansion in the core city areas. The
existing FSI limit according to industry sources is inadequate and unreasonable. Higher FSI
will provide larger built-up areas for industrial, commercial and residential consumption.
6.2.2 Strategies to improve the core municipal services
Core municipal services refer to water supply, sewerage system, storm water drainage and
solid waste management.

64
Water supply system
The suggested mission statement for water supply services is “Water for all and 24 x 7
supplies with focus on safety, equity, reliability”.
Demand projections suggest that with the current water supply schemes, Nagpur is expected
to face a water deficit situation by 2011. Thus, additional schemes need to be designed for
sourcing more surface water for the city. The surface water should be supplemented with
ground water. To maintain the ground water levels, rainwater harvesting should be made
compulsory for all new building projects. Natural water bodies like nallahs must be
conserved.
There is a strong need to reduce transmission and distribution losses. To this end, NMC
should refurbish the old distribution system, prepare an asset inventory and map the water
supply systems for effective monitoring. It should conduct a leak detection study and reduce
unaccounted-for-water levels. NMC should identify illegal water connections and discourage
public stand posts (PSP). The slum areas have several public stand posts (PSP) located close
to households with water connections. Such PSPs must be removed.
NMC should conduct regular checks to verify the quality of water being supplied. Pollution
of water from nearby sewerage lines is always possible. Such potential and existing polluting
sources need to be checked.
Coverage must be gradually increased to 100% and all households should be provided with
metered connections. Currently, NMC supplies water for only four hours every day on
average. As new water sourcing schemes are implemented, this should be gradually increased
to 24 hours. At the same time, to minimise wastage of water, metering should be introduced
for all the water connections. Strict quality checks should periodically be done for the meters.
Tariffs should be designed to discourage wastage; NMC should introduce volumetric billing.
To ensure the financial sustainability of the water supply system, NMC should control its
operational expenses. It should conduct an energy audit, which accounts for the bulk of its
operational expenses.
Sewerage and storm water drainage system
The mission statement for sewerage and storm water drainage system has been defined as
“100% coverage of sewerage collection and treatment and strengthening and rejuvenation of
natural drainage system”.
NMC must extend the sewerage system to the entire city and provide individual connections
to all households/constructed units. The proposed sewerage system must ensure that no
sewage is disposed into water bodies in and outside the city. It should decentralise the system
of operations for effective service delivery and ensure that the location of sewerage treatment
plants (STPs) is in harmony with the river and lakes conservation plan and that the benefits
are maximised.
To provide universal access to clean and affordable sanitation facilities at public places,
NMC should improve access to sanitary facilities for the urban poor and slum dwellers on a
priority basis. Open defecation practices should end completely. NMC should encourage the

65
pay and use category of public conveniences through public private partnership arrangements
and community involvement in the maintenance of the same.
NMC must focus on the rejuvenation of the Nag and Pilli Rivers, nallah canalization and the
consequent strengthening of the natural drainage system. Lake rejuvenation must be included
in the development process as a priority area. All roads must have storm water drains to
prevent flooding during peak periods.
The suggested mission statement for SWM is “Clean city and bin-free city”.
NMC should make serious attempts to ensure 100% segregation at source. It should further
encourage citizen participation in source segregation through awareness campaigns or
introduction of penalty fees. It may outsource the communication campaign to NGOs/
environmental organizations. Campaigns to raise awareness of better SWM practices should
be initiated among the urban poor and slum dwellers. NMC should institutionalize rag-
pickers’ associations and integrate them into the system responsible for primary collection
activities.
To end the current waste dumping practices, development of a landfill site is a must. At the
same time, decentralised waste to energy projects should also be encouraged to improve the
financial viability of the system.
6.2.3 Roads and public transport
The city’s transport network should be made complete in terms of hierarchy and accessibility
for efficient movement of traffic. The plans for the same are already in place for Nagpur. The
city has an Inner Ring Road (almost complete) and an Outer Ring Road planned. There are
some missing links within the Ring Road (like Kalamna ROB) and also in some parts of the
development plan roads. These links need to be completed on a priority basis for achieving
full efficiency.
In order to control the growth of private modes in the traffic stream, the city will need to have
an efficient public transport system. It needs to be appreciated that the current average trip
length per person is comparatively low; this calls for a high frequency (not necessarily very
high capacity) transport system for the city. The development of a public transport system is
one of the major recommendations made in the Draft Urban Transport Policy.
Considering current and proposed trip lengths and likely volumes on the links, it would be
ideal to develop a mini-bus based transport system with the buses using eco-friendly fuels
like liquid petroleum gas. (Currently, the CNG supply to Nagpur is not substantial, but
securing more CNG should not be difficult in light of the experiences of other cities.)
MSRTC has depot and maintenance facilities for its buses, but these may be inadequate to
accommodate a substantial increase in the fleet size. It will not be difficult for NMC to find
alternate locations for new depots. Also, NMC should carefully examine whether it could
fully take over the operation license from MSRTC, especially since MSRTC has expressed its

66
willingness to terminate its service within the city. If NMC can take over the facility of city
bus operations, it can even explore the possibility of private participation in the operations.
For better traffic management, areas like the railway station and Itwari should be treated as
special areas as their traffic characteristics are slightly different (mainly in terms of the mix
of vehicles and pedestrians). Traffic management schemes for these could be independently
worked out. There is also a need to undertake junction improvement measures. For instance,
there are many cases where the inefficient design of a junction reduces the efficiency of the
network. The inefficiency could be in the form of lane provision at the approaches, inefficient
location of signal poles, inefficient geometry (visibility, etc.), inappropriate type selection,
insufficient facilities for pedestrian crossings, etc.
In Nagpur, signals operate on fixed time plans. This could be varied and even demand
responsive signals could be introduced. Also, the aspects of the signals could be changed to
LED signal heads using lower power consumption. Ultimately, the whole system could be
linked up through either corridor-based or area-based software that could automatically
control the signals.
Signs and markings could be updated to make even the first time user of the network
comfortable in following the directions. There is also a need to provide bus bays. NMC
should undertake a bus shelter development programme on a priority basis.
Parking is becoming a grave issue in the city. NMC already has plans for developing some
parking plazas. These should also get priority in future development.
Pedestrian facilities such as footpaths, provision of railings and provision of pedestrian refuge
islands at medians need to improved. As far as possible, the design of these facilities should
be such that usage by physically challenged sections of society is easy. Where possible
pedestrian grade separations like subways should be provided. Also, the provision of pelican
signals at the large crossings should be examined.
There are certain corridors that have been widened recently in these corridors; the traffic is
able to move at great speeds endangering the safety of users. Traffic-calming measures
should be adopted in these stretches to prevent speeding.
In order to instil the basic principles of traffic behaviour in the young population, a scheme
for traffic education should be implemented.
To control the vehicular movement of goods within the city, transport plazas should be
developed on the city’s outskirts along the major entry routes into the city. These should have
facilities like vehicular parking and warehousing facilities.
Road improvement is another area on which NMC needs to focus. This would involve the
following:
• Better design of roads involving adoption of better design standards in terms of horizontal
and vertical geometry, provision of medians, better drainage facilities, etc.
• Roads, which have bottlenecks by way of encroachment or presence of utility poles,
should be developed to the fullest extent so that the entire capacity is available to the
users.

67
• Utilities necessarily have to follow the road path in urban areas. There should be adequate
provision for installing the same. This will facilitate maintenance of the utilities without
much discomfort to the users. This could be in terms of providing interlocking tiles on the
widened portions under which the utilities could be located. In such cases, when required,
the blocks could be removed for maintenance and could be replaced without any problem.
A techno-economic feasibility study for the proposed Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS)
was conducted by L&T Ramboll Consulting Engineers Ltd. NMC should examine the
proposal further for attracting private investments building a MRTS in a phased manner and
at an appropriate time.
6.2.4 Education and medical facilities
For the provision of medical and educational infrastructure, NMC’s role is limited to primary
level services. To promote higher-level education and medical facilities, NMC must provide a
conducive environment for other government agencies and private developers in the form of
support infrastructure, incentives, etc.
Future steps towards improvement in health care facilities should be based on certain
principles. There needs to be an emphasis on participatory planning in medical care, quality
health care and client satisfaction and preventive health care measures.
NMC should target the eradication of preventable diseases by 2011. This may be helped by
the supply of good quality drinking water and sanitation facilities and strict control and
supervision of hotels and roadside food vendors. A resolution of the mosquito menace will
eradicate the vectors.Total vaccination of the population as per WHO schedules should also
be completed by 2011.
To ensure quality medical care to the under-privileged, NMC should make plans for
involving private doctors by providing them with free space in existing Corporation
dispensaries.
To achieve its mission of ‘Making Nagpur a medical services hub’, NMC should encourage
and incentivise the setting up of multi-speciality hospitals in the form of access to affordable
land, exemption of octroi on equipment and medicine, subsidy on water rates and taxes, etc.
The city should have a world-class convention centre for conducting major medical
conferences and providing health care to the population.
NMC may encourage public private partnership in primary education for maintenance of
buildings and infrastructure. It should take strong steps to ensure the quality of education in
schools through standardization and performance incentives.
6.2.5 Slums and urban poor
A “Slum free city” was identified as the sector vision by the ‘Slum and urban poor’ group. As
per the stakeholders, access to basic services by slum dwellers must be ensured and a slum
rehabilitation program should be focused upon. More EWS/LIG housing should be provided
by the government. Other facilities like public toilets, night shelters, destitute children homes,
beggars’ homes, working women’s hostels and marriage halls should also be provided.

68
The following strategies are proposed to address the issues of urban poor and slum
development in Nagpur.
Since Nagpur will continue to grow at a fast pace, there is need to strengthen the urban
planning process and evolve citywide strategies to provide alternatives to slum formation.
Making land available to the poor at affordable prices and ensuring the provision of housing,
urban infrastructure, and transport services on the fringes of the cities, can provide
alternatives that would restrict the formation of new slums. Simple strategies like reservation
of land for EWS housing can ensure the creation of sufficient and affordable housing stock in
the city.
Perhaps the most important change needed in managing Nagpur’s slums is fostering a
collaborative partnership between local authorities and communities, with strong support
from the government. Local authorities are the city planners, financiers, and providers of
infrastructure services. Their performance depends on good governance at the city level
involving communities living in informal settlements. This implies working with the urban
poor as partners in the city development process, and not seeing them as obstacles, as is too
often the case today. Community organizations can provide a voice for the urban poor and
ensure that their interests are met in slum upgradation programmes and urban planning.
Federations of slum dwellers have access to unique information on informal settlements,
information that is central to successful upgrading. These federations should be involved as
equal partners from the beginning of the planning processes. Local authorities should support
community-led initiatives financially and treat community organizations as equal partners.
Strategies for improving security of tenure are central to the improvement of the lives of slum
dwellers and land use in urban areas. This may require reform of tenure and land-use
legislation, coupled with new legislation to prevent forced eviction. In enhancing access to
land, it must be ensured that women have equal access to land tenure and title rights.
Improvement of security of tenure requires a high degree of tailoring to local needs as the
ownership of slum lands varies radically in the slum settlements of Nagpur. It would be in the
interests of the slum dwellers to ensure that a single agency works on ensuring tenure rights,
irrespective of the owners of the slum sites. It is also suggested that such decisions should be
made by the slum dwellers themselves. For this, their organizations should be recognized as
critical partners on par with local authorities. This could be facilitated by NGOs, CBOs and
other networks of urban poor.
For the implementation of SRA schemes, it is essential to create an updated database on the
conditions of slum settlements, preferably through GIS and maintain this updated data.
Wherever possible, community organizations should be supported and allowed to play an
active role in preparing and executing plans for slum upgradation/redevelopment under SRA.
A number of slums in the city have minimal infrastructure while huge investments have been
made in some other select pockets. Hence it is critical to prioritize slums to be considered
under SRA schemes through consultation and public opinion. Information about the scheme
should be transparent and communicated through common platforms to ensure participation
from communities as well. While housing quality is a concern, this can be addressed by
training a committee of local people to take up construction contracts or monitor construction
quality.

69
While planning for redevelopment under SRA, NMC should focus on infrastructure such as
sewers, piped water, and electricity grids. Investments in improved sanitation should receive
high priority to improve the quality of life and reduce the high burden of oral-faecal diseases
in informal settlements caused by widespread open defecation.
Where SRA is not viable and space constraints are high, improvements in the provision of
basic urban services can be taken up. Low-cost communal toilet blocks and shared water
posts have been used successfully in other Indian cities. Effective hygiene education and
awareness-building programs are essential to create demand for sanitation and to ensure its
adequate use by all household members. Other investments required as part of slum
upgradation include investment in storm water drainage, community facilities, local markets,
and street lighting. Health services require investments as well. As mentioned earlier,
nutrition interventions for both the general population and vulnerable groups will reduce
morbidity and mortality among the urban poor. Clinics/health posts need to be more
accessible, located where the needs are the strongest, and open during hours that can
accommodate the schedules of the working poor. Functioning of balwadis must be improved
and, if required, managed with the local community groups.
Good infrastructure attracts domestic and foreign investment, which is necessary for large-
scale job creation. It is essential to see how this can generate employment for the local
population. Equally important are measures to support the informal sector, for most of the
urban poor in Nagpur work in low-paid, low-productivity and low-security jobs. Corrective
measures would include providing training and assistance to small enterprises to upgrade
their skills and increase their access to productive resources and market opportunities. In this
process, it is also essential to consider how the traditional skills/arts of local people can be
retained. Further, sufficient employment opportunities for women in slums must be devised;
this will help in increasing household income and ensuring better quality of life.
Sound urban planning and standards are also central to averting or mitigating the impact of
floods, landslides and storms. This is particularly true in case of the slum population which is
the most vulnerable. It is essential to create inbuilt disaster prevention and management
mechanisms for them to successfully grapple with both natural and man-made disasters. This
could be a part of the city disaster management plan as well.
Access to credit mechanisms is of particular importance; the poor can incrementally invest in
housing, if they have adequate security of tenure, and this can become an important means of
asset accumulation.
6.2.6 Urban environment
For retaining the healthy status of Nagpur’s urban environment, several planning and
conservation initiatives need to be taken. Nagpur has been known as a “clean and green city.”
It is imperative to preserve this image.
This could be achieved through the proper zoning of activities, provision for sufficient
breathing space in new development and adoption of proper landscape design practices at the
city level. It is also important to promote conservation in the region consciously. NMC can
draw lessons from National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (Supported by the Ministry
of Environment and Forests - GOI and the United Nations Development Programme).

70
Biodiversity corridors should be created in the form of continuous stretches. There should be
a clear-cut strategy to conserve and protect the physical environment, including rivers and
hills in and around Nagpur city. It is important to weigh the environmental impact of the new
programs or development schemes.
Lately, a large number of unauthorized layouts have come up in the city, near to the city’s
fringes or in fringe areas. It is important to devise a plan, which can check the growth of these
unauthorized developments, especially within the city’s precincts.
To ensure sustainable development with optimum resource utilization, it may be necessary to

develop a regional plan that envisages a balanced relationship between the main city and
surrounding regions. For maintenance of open space, the planning authority at the regional
level should prepare a detailed inventory of the space and explore its probable multiple uses
or forms for recreation and visual pleasure. Possibilities to include the private sector for
maintenance of these areas should be explored.
For water body conservation and rejuvenation, proper attention should be given to existing
lakes and water bodies in the city. A comprehensive water body restoration or revival
program in the region is of utmost importance. For example, the Nag River originates in
Nagpur itself. It is important to draw up plans for the regeneration of the extinct River Nag
and address issues related to its pollution through city sewage and other wastes.
Efforts/schemes should be designed to check the diversion of sewage flow into city lakes
through appropriately located sewage treatment plants. Considering the issues related to the
demand for treating large amounts of sewage generated in Nagpur city, decentralized sewage
treatment is recommended.
Lake conservation should also explore the possibilities of reviving lakes as water sources or
points of interest in the city. Attempts should be made to discover the tourism potential of
these areas and turn them into attractive visiting points for tourists.
Periodic monitoring and review is essential to check air quality. To create awareness amongst
user groups, the status of air pollution may be revealed through display systems instituted at
major locations in the cities. The issue of keeping air pollution levels low is also linked to the
availability of an appropriate public transport system in the city. In the old city areas, it may
be necessary to review the typologies of existing public transport systems and suggest cleaner
fuels or better alternatives for transport. It is essential to integrate landscape design principles
while planning for major transportation corridors in the city. Suitable plantations or green
cover should be provided on major routes to supplement better air quality.
6.2.7 Land use and housing
The stakeholders have defined this mission statement as “Modern land management practices
that promote economic development in an environmentally sustainable manner”.
The most important area of improvement for a rapidly growing city is its inner city or core
areas. Efforts should be made to decongest the core areas through selective relocation of
commercial and trading activities. NMC would need to identify land in the peripheral areas
and provide space for re-location. Building regulation policies should also be revised to

71
encourage decongestion of the core areas through building norms, FSI norms & incentives,
and parking norms.
Nagpur’s citizens take pride in its well-preserved natural environment. NMC must discourage
development in critical, ecologically sensitive areas. Critical locations with respect to
environmental sensitivity need to be identified and demarcated by the Town Planning
Department. Special Development Control Rules (DCR) should be made applicable to these
areas to restrict any encroachments and unauthorised developments. Private land owners with
a large mass of green space within the municipal limits like PKV, NEERI and VNIT must be
involved in the planning process.
Based on the compatibility of land uses, detailed studies should be carried out to identify
corridors where densification is possible. Organically, such development can be seen along
the Wardha Road and Amravati Road. NMC must calculate the carrying capacity of these and
other areas on the basis of certain indicators, for example water source, eco-sensitivity,
cultural or heritage significance. In selected areas, specific nodes should be identified along
these routes and developed as high density commercial and entertainment centres; the
concept of paid FSI must also be explored. This would also be in line with Nagpur’s vision to
develop as an IT and educational hub. Such development must be closely linked with the
public transportation routes.
NMC and NIT must facilitate housing for the slum population and transit shelters for the
EWS/ LIG migrant population. It should encourage builders and developers to develop mass
housing under incentives. Considering the low demand for housing at present, in-situ
development should be taken up for plots with low commercial prospects.
Peripheral area development needs focus and integration with transportation networks
through coordinated efforts from NMC and NIT. Potential development areas in the
periphery need to be linked through an efficient arterial structure within/outside the city. As
the economy grows and developmental activity intensifies, these peripheral areas would
provide alternatives for decongesting the core. NMC shall undertake exercises to widen the
connecting roads and provide the missing links. In this context, NMC should also make
provision for land for transportation corridors, transportation hubs and network to provide
safe, efficient and affordable mobility.
Assessment of the institutional structure suggests that following the Government Order of the
Govt. of Maharashtra dated 27th February 2001, NIT’s role in land management within the
municipal limits has decreased significantly. Its ability to implement metropolitan schemes is
also limited considering its low financial base and lack of legislative support for land pooling
schemes, etc. In this context, NMC should fully take over land planning and management
within its limits. For integrated fringe area development, a Metropolitan Planning Committee
should be constituted for the Nagpur metropolitan region. This agency should be well
equipped with necessary capacity, in terms of both skills and supporting legislations, for
effective planning and management. The efforts of this agency must be systematically co-
ordinated with those of NMC.
6.2.8 Culture and heritage
The stakeholders have defined the mission statement for this action area as “Nagpur:
Gateway to the tiger country”. The stakeholders feel that Nagpur should not only act as an

72
entry point to the Vidarbha region, which holds great tourism potential, but also be seen as a
tourism destination itself.
Firstly, NMC should prepare a heritage conservation plan. This should be well integrated
with various other actions plans for land use, transportation, environment, etc. Preparation of
such a plan would include listing and documentation of artefacts, structures, buildings, etc.
and updation of the list periodically. Based on the criteria defined by the heritage committee,
precincts and heritage zones would be identified and planned for. To retain the character of
these heritage zones and precincts, separate byelaws and regulations should be prepared for
each of them. These would need to be integrated in the city’s overall development plan with
respect to zoning and building regulations.
The plan may be supported by a heritage conservation policy for the city. The policy should
cover aspects of documentation (status and condition of the heritage structures), strategy plan
(what needs to be done), and implementation plan (how it should be done).
To ensure the successful implementation of this plan, it is important to create a sense of

ownership of the heritage structures among various stakeholders. There should be increased
interaction with the heritage structure owners. This should be facilitated by NMC. NMC
should also create awareness and organize heritage walks and tours. For financial and
technical capacity support, it should seek out private entrepreneurs.
There is a need to create a separate fund for these conservation activities from the budgetary
allocations of NMC. NMC also needs to build its capacity through the training of employees.
The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) and Public Works Department (PWD) are in
charge of the maintenance of a large number of heritage buildings in Nagpur. A separate
conservation cell needs to be created in these organizations also.
Tourism may be developed on themes of heritage, wildlife, religion, health or education.

Adequate facilities should be provided to tourists in terms of affordable accommodation,
information and booking services, and inter-city and intra-city transport.
6.3 Reform agenda for Nagpur

The aim of JNNURM is to create “economically productive, efficient, equitable and
responsive cities” by focusing on a) improving and augmenting civic, social and economic
infrastructure, b) ensuring basic services for the poor including security of tenure at
affordable prices, c) initiating wide ranging urban sector reforms, primarily aiming to
eliminate legal, institutional and financial constraints that are impeding investments in urban
infrastructure and services, and d) strengthening municipal governments and their functioning
in accordance with the provisions of 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992.
Though one of the main aims of JNNURM is to finance the infrastructure investments
identified as part CDP, the larger objective of the Mission is towards initiating the much
needed reforms in ULBs. The Mission has identified certain mandatory and optional reforms
to be undertaken during the mission period for the ULB to be eligible for funding; the
reforms are at the level of state government and the ULB. This section deals with the ULB
level reforms and specific items are identified under each reform. The timelines for

73
implementation are indicated and the detailed action plans and the status of these reforms are
presented in this section.
6.3.1 Mandatory reforms undertaken by NMC
JNNURM specifies a set of mandatory reforms to be undertaken by ULBs. These reforms are
as under:
• Adoption of modern accrual based double entry system of accounting
• Introduction of a system of e-Governance
• Reform of property tax with GIS, so that it becomes a major source of revenue and
arrangement for its implementation so that collection efficiency reaches 85 per cent
within the next seven years
• Levy of reasonable user charges with the objective that full cost of operation and
maintenance is collected within the next five years
• Internal earmarking within local body, budgets for basic services to the urban poor.
• Provision of basic services to Urban Poor
The status of reforms and the strategies planned by NMC for implementing the above reforms
are as under.
1. Adoption of modern accrual based double entry system of accounting
NMC has achieved most of the desired outcomes of JNNURM with respect to accounting
reform in the first year itself (2005-06). In the first year, NMC had a double entry accrual
based accounting system in operation, parallel to the single entry system. From 1st April,
2006, the double entry system would be in operation independently. At the end of the
financial year 2005-06, NMC has been able to generate a provisional balance sheet and
income-expenditure statement. NMC had its finances rated by a credit rating agency in 2005-
06.
One of the commitments that NMC would have to make under JNNURM would be the
preparation of an outcome budget. The aim of the outcome budget is to ensure the proper and
verifiable use of JNNURM grants and to bring about accountability among various
departments to deliver in stipulated time periods. It is a performance measurement tool
designed to help service delivery, decision-making, and evaluation of project implementation
and identification of areas for possible intervention. It is important to convert outlays into
physical outcomes with monitorable monthly/quarterly/half-yearly targets to improve the
quality and the pace of implementation of city developmental projects.
An important component of the action plan would be to build capacity of the accounting staff.
NMC has visualised adequate training support to all relevant personnel so that the transition
from a single entry system to a double entry system is smooth. The training would involve
various elements of financial management from the accounting viewpoint as well as an
understanding of accounting standards and policies. It will also aim to enable the accounting
personnel to support the decision-making process through utilisation of various financial
tools and reports generated by the accounting system.

2. Introduction of system of e-Governance
NMC has taken several initiatives to implement e-Governance systems and procedures with
the intention of improving service delivery and bringing about transparency in its
functioning. The key initiatives under this area of reform are as under.
Octroi computerisation
NMC started the computerization of the octroi department in 1998. This allowed computer
receipts to be issued to customers. Under the reform agenda it is proposed to connect all the
nakas, through dial-up connectivity, to the central octroi head office and civil lines head
office of NMC. NMC has also taken up the computerization of the transit pass (rahdari)
operations. This will help NMC to facilitate the passage of heavy vehicles through the city in
minimum time. This will also increase the revenues of NMC and reduce malpractices on the
part of transporters.
Property Tax and Water Billing Systems

NMC has already computerized its property tax and water billing systems. Under the reform
agenda NMC has proposed that all its zonal offices and the Citizens Facilitation Centres will
be connected through WAN and LAN.
Birth and death registration system

Earlier birth and death certificates were being issued and registration was being done from
the Central Facilitation Centre at Civil Lines office. Now the certificates will be issued from
zonal offices also.

75
Web portal work

NMC is developing a real time enterprise web portal. Various services will be provided to
citizens through this web portal.
Biometrics attendance system

This system is being developed for time and attendance tracking of employees. The first
phase of the work has been completed at the Civil Lines office. Soon, it will be extended to
all the zonal offices. The information of attendance of employees will be integrated with the
payroll software and salaries of the employees will be based on this system.
Interactive voice response system (IVRS)

This system will provide various services to citizens through telephone, mobiles, SMS and
web. The service will answer various citizen enquiries regarding property tax, water bills,
various other dues, complaint redressal, etc.
Municipal infrastructure information system (MIIS)

This is a GIS based system. Up to date information on municipal infrastructure such as
roads, street lights and landmarks, and other information will be provided through this
system. The administration will receive the necessary information on its desktop, which will
help it to provide better solutions.
Citizen facilitation centres

NMC has commissioned a Citizen Facilitation Centre at the Civil Lines office. All the
computerized services will be provided through this CFC. It is also proposed to construct
CFCs at all the zonal offices of NMC. Some of the zonal offices are already providing some
of these services.

3. Property tax reform

NMC currently has a demand-based property tax collection system. The method of valuation
adopted is the Rateable Value System. The existing system is plagued with several
inefficiencies. Only 52% of the demand raised is being collected by NMC in the case of
residential properties and 27% in the case of non-residential properties.
NMC has committed to achieve 85% collection efficiency by the end of 2012. To realise this
goal, tax collection needs to be carried out as a commercial function within NMC. The
Revenue Department needs to function as a commercial function and be supervised with the
same orientation. NMC plans to take the following steps, which will improve collection
efficiencies and also improve the average revenue yield per property. The main components
of the action plan are as follows:
Conducting property tax reassessment

NMC had conducted its last property tax reassessment in 2000. NMC is empowered to
reassess property values every five years. NMC has begun the process of reassessment,
though belatedly, and expects that the new system of assessment, which will be applicable
76
from 2006-07 onwards, will increase property tax yield by 20%. The reassessment exercise is
also expected to bring about 50,000 un-registered properties under the property tax net and
update the development that has occurred on about 50,000 properties.
Carry out internal restructuring

NMC will review the work-flow at the Property Tax Department and suggest improvements
that will help in increasing productivity and making the municipal officials accountable for
the tasks assigned.
Leverage information technology

Traditionally, any review of property tax management has been constrained by data.
Information was not available in a form that facilitates meaningful review (for example, high
value defaulters, potential versus actual collection for each revenue officer). Often such
information was made available only for the purposes of review by the revenue officers
themselves. The information was also not current. A computerised database provides a strong
starting point for property tax management. External review and monitoring is easily possible
since this information is maintained independently and updated regularly. Moreover, it is also
easily accessible. NMC’s approach will be to leverage this potential for regular review and
monitoring.
Use communications and convenience to improve compliance

A formula based Self Assessment System (SAS) shifts the responsibility for assessment and
payment to the citizens. Thus the degree of collection depends mainly on how the citizens
fulfil this responsibility. An effective communication strategy is necessary to ensure that
citizens understand this responsibility and fulfil it in a timely manner. Similarly, the
convenience with which citizens are able to submit their forms and pay their dues will also
determine levels of compliance.
Explore outsourcing opportunities

An independent computerised database also opens up several outsourcing opportunities such
as tracking defaulters, raising demand notices after the due date, etc. NMC would explore
possibilities of outsourcing its collections of property tax.
Reorient the Revenue Department

With SAS and a computerised database, record keeping, billing and collection, there will be a
substantial change in the role of officers in the Tax Department. This change would warrant
reorientation of the officers through training and adapting them into a new work environment.
Also since compliance is by citizens themselves, the enforcement responsibilities intensify
only after the due date. NMC has planned actions in this regard to address the training and
capacity building needs of its staff.
Train the employees and use incentive linked targets

A commercial approach to tax management also calls for clear responsibilities at the
individual level in the Revenue Department. NMC’s approach will be to explore how a
system of targets, responsibilities and incentives can be designed within a local body context.
Levy penal interest for delayed payments

Currently, there is no penal interest charged on delayed property tax payments. Thus there is
no dis-incentive for not making payments on time. In 2005-06, of the Rs.140 crores of
demand raised, about Rs.80 crores pertained to earlier years. NMC has proposed a penal

77
interest of 12% per annum on delayed interest payments. In the current scenario, the bulk of
property tax collections occur in the last month of the financial year thus putting undue stress
on the Property Tax Department. For taxpayers who are willing to pay their tax well before
time, a rebate of 6% on the property tax is also proposed.
The timeline planning and key milestones under property tax reform are as under:

4. Levy of reasonable user charges
It is the objective of JNNURM that NMC be able to recover 100% of the O&M expenditure
incurred by it. The recovery of user charges would be possible if it was accompanied by
improvements in service delivery. NMC has thus made improvement in service, as well as
levy and collection of user charges, as one of its core reform agenda. The actions/strategies
are as under:
Water supply
It is NMC’s ultimate objective to provide 24x7 water supply to the citizens of Nagpur.
Currently, on average, water is supplied for 2-4 hours daily. The increase in water supply will
be made possible by source augmentation and reduction of transmission and distribution
losses.
The issues with water supply are related to the percentage of non-revenue water that is as
high as 38% and recovery on the water account. NMC plans to bring down UFW to 25% by

78
2009-10. NMC recovers about 62% of its O&M expenditure on water supply. NMC intends
to achieve full cost recovery on this account by the end of seven years.
In order to achieve full cost recovery as well as reduction of UFW NMC has proposed a mix
of projects and actions in this regard.
The starting point for efficiency or productivity improvement was the leak detection, energy
and water audit studies conducted by NMC. These studies identified areas that NMC would
need to concentrate on to reduce supply losses and improve efficiency. The actions (projects)
recommended under these studies have been proposed for funding under JNNURM.
The projects proposed under energy audit study would reduce losses due to old pumping
equipment by replacing them. The projects are also of the category of energy optimisation
through certain technical modifications that would rationalise the distribution system and also
reduce static and frictional head losses. This project itself would translate into annual saving
of Rs. 4.75 crores per annum in energy costs.
The projects proposed under water audit recommendations aim at steps for bringing down the
Unaccounted for Water (UFW) from the current level of 38% to 25%. The measures under
these projects are primarily of the nature of conservation, installation of flow meters and
replacing faulty consumer water meters, rehabilitation of service connections, improving
meter reading and billing systems. This project also aims at replacing public stand post
connections in slum areas with individual household connections. These projects would
strengthen the billing and collection system of NMC and NMC would be in a position to
implement a transparent system that will charge consumers for water on the basis of their
water usage. This project would also demarcate zones and have bulk metering as a means for
cross-checking the amount of water consumed and billed within that zone, thereby bringing
in accountability on the part of the zonal in-charge for billing the water consumed in a zone.
This system in future can accommodate service contracts with the private sector in water
supply distribution, billing and collection for the zones. NMC could take the responsibility
for bulk water transmission and reduce its establishment expenditure accordingly.

Billing & Collection (Recovery)
NMC as part of productivity improvements has proposed a Slum Policy for Water Supply,
which will curb the technical and commercial water losses in the system. In the slums of
Nagpur, about 170 MLD of water is being supplied. Per capita water consumption beyond 80
lpcd in slums is difficult given the small size of the dwellings and lifestyle habits. For a slum
population of 8 lakhs, typically around 64 MLD of water should be supplied. In the present
scenario, about 170 MLD is being supplied, but the levels of wastage are very high on
account of the existence of numerous public stand posts (PSPs). NMC plans to remove all the
PSPs and provide individual connections to every slum. NMC can thus meet the requirement
of the slum dwellers by supplying about 70 MLD (6 MLD in excess of the requirement of 64
MLD) and use the remaining 100 MLD to supply to other water deficit areas of the city.
The project proposed under the leak detection study aims at reducing the overall cost of raw
water to NMC by installing flow meters at the raw water intake source. The Irrigation
Department manages this intake point and it charges NMC as per a formula developed
through empirical means. The formula currently overcharges NMC by about Rs. 1.65 crores
per annum. The flow meter is aimed at accurately measuring the actual water taken by NMC,
rather than approximating the charges.
In addition, NMC has also proposed projects for strengthening the water supply system and
augmenting water supply. Under strengthening of water supply system NMC has proposed
modifications and additions in the system that would help NMC improve its water supply
coverage from the current level of 85% to 100%. It would also help NMC completely phase

80
out tanker water supply and replace the same with treated piped water. This project is also
aimed at improving service to the citizens.
The water augmentation project is aimed at increasing the quantity of water supply for the
city to accommodate the projected population increase. The project has an optimal design that
will minimise bulk water transmission losses by transporting water through pipelines rather
than open canals.
Strategically, the above measures are aimed at improving water supply coverage, improving
service levels, reducing losses, implementing metering and billing systems and bringing in
accountability from the NMC officials involved in water supply and distribution. These
measures set the base for NMC to increase its water connections and charge users through
transparent means. Improved service levels and accountability from NMC officials will tend
to improve collection efficiency. In this context it is also pertinent to note that the citizens’
survey conducted by NMC has indicated that 72% of the citizens are ready to pay about 10-
20% more if service levels are improved. The citizens are also ready to accept metered water
supply (at present there are 1,44,000 metered connections) assuming that service levels
improve. While designing for augmentation, future demand due to MIHAN project is also
taken into account.
Sewerage
In the case of sewerage, NMC generates a small surplus with regard to expenses incurred and
income earned. However, the existing sewerage system in the city of Nagpur is inadequate.
The stakeholders have identified the lack of a proper sewerage system as an area of concern.
NMC has plans to invest Rs.515 crores during the tenure of JNNURM to increase coverage
and improve service levels. It has been proposed that in order to increase revenues from this
stream, the sewerage tax which is collected as part of the property tax, will be hiked to meet
the increased expenditure of operating and maintaining the new system.

In the case of solid waste management, NMC plans to recover user charges only for primary
collection. NMC currently incurs a revenue expenditure of about Rs.35 crores on solid waste
management while there is no direct revenue generated under this head. NMC incurs an
expenditure of Rs.5.5 per household for door-to-door collection of solid waste. NMC plans to
gradually recover this charge from every household. The revenues realised will be less than
Rs.3 crores. This is insufficient to cover the expenses incurred by the solid waste department.
NMC has taken a stand that solid waste collection is one of the basic duties it performs and
hence it does not intend to attain 100% cost recovery for this service provided. It plans to
subsidise this service through surplus generated from other sources.
5. Services for urban poor

About 37.5% of households in Nagpur are living in slums. It is estimated that about 50% of
these households may not have access to municipal water supply and sanitation in their
premises. In order to provide equitable services to the urban poor various initiatives have
been proposed by NMC. The same are as under.
The strategies under land use planning contemplate housing for slum population and transit
shelters for EWS/LIG migrant population. In that context specific actions would be taken
while preparing the development plan for Nagpur that is due in 2010 for including a
provision for such housing in mass housing projects.

81
The water supply project proposed by NMC for funding under JNNURM has a sizeable
component for slum dwellers. The water supply project aims at replacing public stand posts
in slum areas with individual household connections which will provide an equitable water
supply. These projects also will provide potable water supply to slum dwellers and reduce
their dependence on tanker water or ground water supply thereby protecting them from
water-borne diseases.
The projects proposed under the heads of sewerage, storm water and lake and nalla
rejuvenation have improving sanitary conditions of the slums as one of their main agenda
items. These projects would translate into reduced water logging, sewerage backwash and
flooding in slum areas. Reduced incidences of water and sewerage logging would have a
direct impact in reducing pollution of water sources and reduction in pests and vectors.
Projects proposed under the head of roads and transportation have explored the option of
implementing Mass Rapid Transport System that will provide efficient and accessible modes
of transport to the urban poor. These would help them to commute to their places of work at
reasonable costs.
In the previous section on strategies and action plan for slum and urban poor, various
strategies have been proposed by stakeholders that would allow NMC to provide services to
the urban poor by the end of seven years.
Internal earmarking of budgets for urban poor

As per the guidelines of the State Government, NMC earmarks 5% of its annual budget for
providing services to the urban poor. These budgets are used in providing water supply,
drains, roads, education through schools and health services through primary health care
centres to urban poor. Access to basic services in slums is also provided through other
budgets viz. water supply, sewerage, and solid waste management. Pursuant to the
requirement under JNNURM, NMC will also provide an expenditure declaration in regard to
the allocation of funds to the urban poor.
6.3.2 Optional reforms undertaken by NMC
JNNURM prescribes a list of optional reforms to be undertaken by ULB’s. The strategies to

be adopted by NMC in achieving these and timelines are as follows:
1. Revision of bye-laws to streamline the approval process for construction of buildings

NMC has undertaken some revisions to simplify the process of building permissions. The
procedure envisages providing plan permission in a decentralised manner by allowing
processing of applications at zonal offices. This process is being computerised and with the
full implementation of e-Governance initiatives the same is expected to facilitate faster
processing of building plan applications.
NMC has targeted compliance of this reform agenda in the third year of implementation of
JNNURM projects. In order to identify the measures required under this reform initiative
NMC would appoint a consultant to study the building approval process of NMC and
recommend measures to simplify the same.
The consultant would assess the current system of regulation, enforcement and the
framework for providing building permissions. The bye-laws would be assessed on the basis

82
of whether the bye-laws are in sync with the aspirations of the people and responsive to
current technologies. Recommendations would also be solicited from the consultant whether
a common set of bye-laws should be applicable for the city or whether there should be
separate bye laws for special areas viz. heritage precincts, eco sensitive zones etc. In the
context of enforcement model, NMC would expect the consultant to review the process and
examine the feasibility of involving the professionals viz. architects, structural engineers, and
planners in the building permission process. If found feasible, their role would be dovetailed
into the process and measures adopted to make them accountable.
2. Earmarking at least 20-25 percent of developed land in all housing projects for EWS
and LIG category with a system of cross-subsidisation
This has been partially achieved under ULCRA where there is a provision for land
development to provide housing for EWS and LIG category. However, ULCRA is expected
to be repealed, as it is one of the mandatory reforms of the State Government. In this context,
the CDP discussions with its stakeholders have yet to identify concrete strategies for this
reform item.
3. Revision of bye-laws to make rainwater harvesting mandatory in all buildings and

adoption of water conservation measures
This reform agenda has already been implemented by NMC. Rainwater harvesting is
mandatory in Nagpur from March 2005. The bye-law envisages that no building permission
will be granted unless provision is made for rainwater harvesting. As per the regulation, all
layouts of open spaces, amenity spaces of housing societies and new constructions of area
equal to or more than 300 sq. m. shall have one or more rainwater harvesting structures such
as an open well or bore well, or underground storage tank or percolation pits. The
owner/society also has to ensure the maintenance of these structures. In the case of non-
compliance with the aforementioned rules, NMC would levy a fine of up to Rs. 1000 per
annum per 100 sq. m. of built-up area.
4. Bye-laws on reuse of wastewater

NMC is currently examining the potential of reuse of reclaimed water. In this context it has
commissioned a study with technical support of USAID to examine the feasibility of
implementing the same.
Under this pilot project, wastewater from houses and business centres will be piped through
sewers to a wastewater treatment plant where it would progress through primary, secondary
and tertiary stages of treatment before it is disinfected and put into a separate distribution
system for reuse.
The recycled water would be used in industries, cooling and ash handling in power plants,
landscaping, irrigation in orchards, etc. NMC has declared that “…in order to enhance the
positive outcomes while minimizing the risks of wastewater use, there exists feasible and
sound measures that need to be applied…” in this context. MAHAGENCO has already
signed a MOU with NMC to use recycled water in the thermal power generation process.
The learning from this pilot project would translate into drafting and incorporation of bye-
laws on this subject. This process is expected to be complete by the year 2008.

83
5. Administrative reforms
The total staff strength of NMC is about 10317 employees as against a sanctioned strength of
12594 employees. Some of the initiatives that have been undertaken by NMC in this regard
are as under:
a) Institutionalising key operations: NMC intends to get its key operations certified under
ISO 9001 standards, especially with respect to O&M of water supply, sewerage, solid waste
management, etc. In addition, all JNNURM projects will be implemented by a special
projects cell which will also secure ISO certification.
b) Recruitment freeze: With the objective of cost control, NMC has adopted the State
Government policy to freeze new recruitment, and for the last five years NMC has not carried
out any major recruitments. NMC has planned to adopt a recruitment policy for heirs of
deceased employees and employees taking VRS on medical grounds. NMC is currently
undertaking a cadre review of various category employees. This would provide inputs to
NMC on its future manning policy.
c) Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS): So far NMC has not adopted any formal VRS.
However, employees are free to avail this scheme without any extra benefits.
d) e-Governance: NMC has decided to establish on-line computerisation of all procedures,

which is expected to reduce several posts, cost of establishment, and at the same time
increase value-added services to its citizens.
The above initiatives are some actions towards administrative reforms. NMC recognises the
fact that it needs to go a long way in achieving these reforms. This process would involve
taking its employees, their unions and the political establishment into confidence. The
recruitment freeze would eventually reduce staff strength, as there would be no replacements
for retirements. However, this is an extended procedure. NMC has committed that it would
take concrete steps to achieve this reform agenda by the seventh year of implementation of
JNNURM projects. A plan for achieving the same would be drafted in due course in
consultation with the staff and employees of the NMC.
6. Structural reforms
NMC has yet to crystallise a plan in this regard. It is exploring options of involving
consultants for advising them on what structural reforms would need to be taken by NMC.
7. Encouraging PPP
NMC has experimented with some models of private sector participation in various areas.
Some of the initiatives involve development of commercial complexes, amusement parks and
market centres on BOT basis, PPP in slum rehabilitation through SRA, community
participation in collection of solid waste, etc.
NMC already has various plans to extend public-private partnership arrangements to various
other services in the coming years. NMC as part of the financial plan for the CDP has
proposed some projects to be taken up under the PPP route. NMC expects to comply with this
reform agenda in the second and third years of project implementation.

84
7. CITY INVESTMENT PLAN, STRATEGIES AND

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Nagpur City Investment Plan (CIP) has been drafted after an assessment of infrastructure
and service delivery gaps and numerous stakeholder consultations. Detailed project reports,
wherever available, were also reviewed. This assessment has also led to the identification of
sector specific strategies, implementation actions and associated reforms.
The strategies adopted primarily have three dimensions -- improving service delivery by
efficiency measures, improving service delivery by creating infrastructure assets, and
improving governance aspects of NMC. This section summarises the capital investments
required for creating infrastructure assets and various strategic interventions required in the
implementation of such projects.
7.1 City Investment Plan (CIP)
The City Investment Plan is the multi-year scheduling of identified and prioritised
investments. The City Investment Plan is an important element of the CDP and is significant
in terms of the city’s management process and sustainability with regard to the delivery of
basic services. The City Investment Plan involved the identification of public capital facilities
to cater to the demands of the city populace to the year 2011-12. The projects have been
identified through a demand-gap analysis of the services.
The projects derived are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilisation of existing
infrastructure systems and enhancing the capacity of the systems/services to cater to the
demands of the future population.
The City Investment Plan and forecasted future needs for the provision of capital facilities
under each identified sector is presented below. These assets will help NMC universalise
services for the current population as well as accommodate the expected increase in
population.
7.1.1 Summary of investments
The total estimated capital investment required for providing efficient services to the present
population and future population of NMC to the year 2011-12 is Rs.5894 crores at current
prices and an escalated cost16 of Rs.6191 crores. Table 20 presents the summary of sector-
wise investment requirements up to 2011-12.
More than 70% of the investments proposed under the CIP are dedicated to the sectors of
MRTS and traffic management, slum development/housing, and roads and bridges. The water
16
Not all the projects identified in the CDP will be executed by NMC. NIT, MHADA, Maharashtra State
Government and SRA would be responsible for some of the projects. The projects that NMC would be
undertaking would cost Rs.1977 crores at current prices and Rs.2273 crores if cost escalations were built into
these estimates. In addition to these projects costing Rs.1977 crores, there are two projects costing Rs.1750
crores, which would be executed on the PPP model (Water recycling and Reuse and MRTS). In total, NMC
would be responsible for projects costing Rs.3727 crores.

85
and sewerage sectors have been allocated 10% and 8.7%, respectively, of the total
investment. Sector-wise details of the City Investment Plan, capital facilities identified to be
created, supportive actions and implementation aspects/strategies are discussed in the
following sections in detail.

the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), Slum Rehabilitation
Authority (SRA) and Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT). For instance, the expenditure of
slum development/housing would be undertaken by MHADA, SRA and NIT. The State
Government would be undertaking projects worth Rs.650 crores of the Rs.1086 crores
identified for spending on the roads and bridges sector. Of the total Rs.5894 crores of projects
identified, Rs.3727 crores or 63% of the total projects would be undertaken by NMC.

7.1.3 Sewerage
In Nagpur, only one of the three zones has a waste treatment plant. Thus, only about 70 MLD
of sewage is treated against a daily sewage generation of about 280 MLD. The city lacks a
proper sewerage system. NMC has thus provided in the CIP for the setting up of a sewerage

87
system for the entire city beginning with the north zone. The problem of sewage is acute in
the north zone where the bulk of the city’s slum population resides.

At present only 30-35 % of the road network is covered by the storm water drainage system
of open and closed drains. The CIP has made provisions for rejuvenating the natural drainage
pattern through the de-silting of the natural drains, rivers and nallahs, and removal of the
blockages in the natural drainage paths. To support the natural system, the storm water
drainage network along the roads will also be strengthened in terms of coverage and capacity.
The total investments planned in this sector are Rs.246 crores.

The Nagpur Municipal Corporation has been efficient in collecting solid waste and
maintaining cleanliness. The need of the day is maintenance of the system in an efficient
manner. For this purpose, it is required that the collection and disposal system be upgraded.
To cater to the needs of the population in 2011 and 2021 -- when 1300 MT and 1600 MT,
repectively, of solid waste is expected to be generated every day in the city -- additional
containers, collection and transportation vehicles, waste storage and transfer stations, and
infrastructure at the new waste disposal site at Bhandewadi are immediately required.
To modernize the existing system, a refuse compactor system needs to be installed in the
existing storage depots by 2006. A waste segregation system also should be installed at a later
stage in all the storage and transfer stations. As part of augmentation of the system, a new and
additional fleet of vehicles should be obtained from 2006-07 till which time the existing fleet
is deemed sustainable. Waste storage and transfer stations should also be added from the year
2007-08. New containers should be acquired every year.
If the concept of a “bin-free city” has to be implemented, then smaller vehicles with a
capacity of 1.5 to 2 tons and tipping arrangements need to be acquired. These vehicles will
collect MSW from households, shops, etc. and directly unload them at the dumping ground.
The CIP has envisaged an investment of Rs.25 crores each for the development of a sanitary
landfill site and for a project that will make Nagpur a bin-free city.

7.1.6 Roads, transportation and traffic management
The CIP has made a tentative provision of Rs.1086 crores for developing the road
transportation network in the city. This will include expenditure on the outer ring road,
flyovers, bridges over rivers and road widening and improvement measures. NMC plans to
have a master plan for the road and transportation system prepared with the help of an
external consultant. The master plan will be finalised in 2006-07. However, some critical
projects like flyovers at two junctions and bridges over physical obstacles like rivers and
railway tracks would be taken up immediately. The State Government will take up the work
for the development of an outer ring road at a cost of Rs.650 crores.
NMC intends to deploy new technologies like active traffic control and CCTV to manage
traffic in a more scientific manner. Traffic management projects will involve an investment
of Rs. 50 crores by 2011-12.
NMC has conducted a techno-feasibility study for a Mass Rapid Transportation System
(MRTS) in the city. The total investment for phase-I of the MRTS project is estimated to be
around Rs.1500 crores. This project will be taken up after the preparation of the
transportation master plan.

7.1.7 Slums, housing and basic services for urban poor
The CIP includes an investment of Rs.1592 crores on slum development, EWS housing and
basic services for the urban poor. NIT and MHADA have planned projects worth Rs.125
crores and Rs.42 crores, respectively. The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme will
be implemented to make Nagpur a slum-free city. For the period 2011-12, investments of
around Rs.1350 crores are planned. The full implementation of the SRA scheme will extend
far beyond the tenure of JNNURM. For those slum areas, which will not be taken up under
SRA, NMC has planned investments worth Rs.75 crores. This investment will be over and
above those made in other sectors like water, which has availability of basic services to the
poor at its core.

7.2 Financial Operating Plan
The investment capacity of NMC is assessed through a Financial Operating Plan (FOP)
which gives a multi-year forecast of finances of the local body for the medium-term. In line
with the phasing of identified investment from 2006/07 to 2011/12, the FOP has been
generated for the same period. A salient feature of the FOP is that all outstanding dues,
including debt and non-debt liabilities, have been taken into account.
The accounts data between the years 2000-01 and 2004-05 are used as the basis to determine
past trends in revenue and expenditure and arrive at appropriate growth assumptions for each
income and expense item. After forecasting the revenue account, the capital investments
proposed under the Capital Investment Plan (CIP) are added to the forecast. The FOP is
generated to assess the investment-sustaining capacity of the Corporation, if it adopts a
project funding structures comprising grants under the JNNURM framework (accounting for
70 percent of the funding) and internal resources and loans accounting for the rest. The level
of investment that NMC can sustain is then determined by studying the overall surpluses/
year-to-year opening balance and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).
If the debt service coverage ratio - DSCR (amount of surplus available to pay interest and to
repay principal that is due) falls below 1.25 (i.e., less than a 25% cushion), then the
investments are reduced gradually till the DSCR exceeds 1.25 in all the years in the forecast
period.
The main items of income and expenditure, classified into the revenue account and the capital
account, are projected in the FOP under the following categories.
Revenue Account Receipts

1. Octroi, Taxes, Non-Tax Sources, and
2. Grants
Revenue Account Expenditure

1. Establishment
2. O&M on old assets
3. Debt Servicing- Existing and New Loans
4. O&M on new assets
5. Capital Receipt
6. Capital Expenditure

94
7.3 Financing strategies for the CIP

NMC plans to raise resources and fund the CIP by:
• Accessing the grants available under the JNNURM framework
• Using available internal resources and improving upon the same through:
Increasing property tax collection by improving collection efficiency and increasing
the average yield per property through reassessment
Increasing revenues from water supply by reducing non-revenue water and
rationalisation of tariffs.
NMC would also explore the option of raising debt to bridge the investment deficit. For
projects which are out of bounds of NMC, various other funding options would be explored.
7.4 ULB finance projections
Current ULB finances are projected under built-in growth assumptions for income and
expenditure items to assess the impact of each such revenue enhancement measure being
suggested. The projections also aim at estimating the surplus that will be available for
servicing new debt. A part of the surplus will be utilized to meet the O&M expenses on
newly created assets.
A spreadsheet FOP model has been customised to depict the financial position of NMC and
work out the investment sustaining capacity of NMC, based on the FOP’s assumptions. The
model can be used to calculate future surpluses under various scenarios involving
combinations of internal revenue improvement, state support, financing terms, etc.
7.4.1 Municipal Account – growth projections and assumptions
The standard assumptions under which the projections are carried out and certain expenditure
control and revenue augmentation measures proposed in line with the mandatory and optional
reforms under the JNNURM framework are presented below.

equivalent to Rs.88 crores; it has been projected that this
amount would be repaid over two years: Rs.53 cores in
2006-07 and Rs.25 crores in 2007-08
7.5 Investment capacity/ sustenance

Given the existing financial position of NMC, the revenue and capital accounts of NMC are
projected against the growth scenario and assumptions presented above. The revenue
improvement and expenditure control measures coupled with the availability of grants under
the JNNURM framework give NMC an investment capacity of Rs.2273 crores (escalated
costs) over the next six years against NMC’s investment need of Rs.3727 crores (at current
costs) by 2011-12. The investment capacity even with implementation of reform measures is
still found to fall short of the funding requirements.

96
7.5.1 Impact of JNNURM reforms on investment capacity
It is observed that following current growth trends, NMC can sustain an investment of Rs.428
crores only. The implementation of the reform agenda as desired by JNNURM, along with
some amount of leverage, will allow NMC to raise its investment capacity to Rs.735 crores.
When this amount is supplemented with JNNURM funds and debt raised by NMC the
investment capacity of NMC increases to Rs.2273 crores.
7.5.2 Sources of funding
The CDP has identified projects, which are estimated to cost Rs.5894 crores at current prices.
However, NMC’s would be responsible for projects costing only Rs.3727 crores. However,
JNNURM grants, internal accruals of NMC and debt can together fund projects worth
Rs.2273 crores at escalated prices, factoring in the price escalation on the project costs over
the six year period. The source of Rs. 2273 crores would be as follows:

7.5.3 Bridging the investment deficit
Identified NMC’s investment projects during the tenure of JNNURM are estimated to cost
Rs.3727 crores while the investment capacity is Rs.2273 crores. NMC has identified
opportunities for bridging the investment deficit. Some of the identified projects like MRTS

97
and water recycling and reuse can be funded through the public private partnership (PPP)
route. The investments in these two projects aggregate to Rs.1750 crores at current prices.

8. WAY FORWARD
The JNNURM scheme marks an important milestone in the development of urban

infrastructure and the reform agenda of the Government of India. It provides an opportunity
for municipal corporations to fill the increasing gap between existing and desired service
levels, even as the pressure on urban infrastructure mounts. It is indeed a stepping-stone for
municipal corporations to achieve improvement in service delivery, governance and financial
sustainability.
It is not so much the philosophy of JNNURM that will demand performance from cities. Peer
cities will create pressure by setting examples and raising the bar. It would no longer suffice
to initiate a reform at the city level and stay content with the progress. The quality of reforms
would be constantly benchmarked with those of its peers; the pace of progress would be
measured against the standards set by first movers.
This chapter identifies some of the challenges that NMC and Nagpur city might have to face
in the future. Wherever possible, an attempt has been made to provide a workable solution or
a mitigation step. In most of the cases these issues would need to be deliberated to ensure that
NMC is not caught unawares and addresses the situation appropriately.
However, a successful application for JNNURM in the form of the preparation of the CDP is
barely the beginning. The amount and extent of benefits, which will accrue to the Nagpur
Municipal Corporation (NMC) and the real development of the Nagpur city as a whole, will
depend upon the progress of the commitments made by NMC, both in service delivery
outcomes and in reform implementation suggested as part of CDP. In order to achieve the
vision and stated mission, NMC has to focus on the following three areas:
Implementation of the City Development Plan

Challenges
8.1 Implementing the CDP

The implementation of the CDP has two dimensions: the reform dimension and the
investment dimension. From the point of view of the reform dimension, NMC is in a fairly
good position. It has achieved a fair level of progress in the areas of accounting reforms and
e-Governance. However, it will need to accelerate its efforts in the areas of property tax and
the levy of appropriate user charges. From the investment angle, currently NMC has been
investing and implementing capital works to the tune of about Rs.80 crores per annum. With
the advent of JNNURM, the Corporation will have to undertake projects of around Rs.600
crores every year. This will require tremendous capacity building within the Corporation. The
following points outline the challenges that Nagpur will face during the implementation of
the CDP.

99
8.1.1 Scaling up
A major challenge before NMC will be to abandon its traditional approach of implementing
projects using its revenue surplus and monitoring them with the help of the Corporation staff.
To implement the proposed scale of projects, NMC will need to identify innovative contract
modes and take support from private/external agencies in the form of project development,
project management, quality monitoring, etc.
8.1.2 Creating awareness amongst citizens
The implementation of the CDP will need to be monitored independently; the implementing
agency should be made accountable to the citizens. The challenge before NMC will be to
reach out to these citizens and keep them well-informed about the implementation of the CDP
and the responsibilities of the Corporation under JNNURM. This will bring accountability in
the system and ensure course corrections from time to time. To achieve this, NMC needs to
formalize a monitoring committee with representation from NMC, citizens’ forums and
institutions and industry to monitor project implementation and reforms.
8.1.3 Institutionalising the CDP and focussing on outcomes
NMC will also face the challenge of internalizing reforms within the Corporation. Service
provision will need to be internalized in the Corporation. Today, the departments within
NMC are not totally accountable to the city. NMC is provided with budgets, but the
departments are not accountable for service performance. There is a need to make the
departments accountable and focused on their performance. NMC must provide resources to
the departments and ensure that they deliver performance in terms of better service delivery
to the citizens. The support that the administration provides to these departments needs to be
measured and against that, the service delivery they need to achieve must be gauged.
Fostering a focused approach on outcomes in the departments will be a challenge for NMC.
This should apply across all departments, i.e., those which provide services, administration
units and enforcement departments such as the Building Permissions Department.
8.2 Challenges in the future

Nagpur is still considered one of the tier II cities of the country. Of late, given the good
quality of urban infrastructure like roads, and being an important centre of learning
particularly in the field of engineering, Nagpur is slowly catching the attention of many
corporate houses in the country. The favorable mention of Nagpur in the KPMG-NASSCOM
survey and IDC-Dataquest study testifies to the economic potential of Nagpur. This,
combined with the MIHAN project has the ability to power Nagpur’s economy in the coming
years. The higher economic growth and relatively better quality of life enjoyed by Nagpur’s
citizens will increase net migration to the city. This will result in a higher population growth
rate than what Nagpur has experienced in recent decades. This will further increase the
pressure on urban services and possibly the quality of life in Nagpur will deteriorate as has
happened in every other major city in the country. The challenge before NMC is to transit
from a tier 2 city to a tier 1 city without breeding the ills that plague the tier 1 cities in the
country.

100
8.3 Opportunities in the future

The city of Nagpur has several opportunities which the Corporation should build on. A
description follows of the opportunities on which Nagpur can capitalize.
8.3.1 Harness the human resource potential for furthering growth
Nagpur, next to Pune, has the largest number of engineering colleges in and around a city in
Maharashtra. Unfortunately, the students graduating out of these colleges do not find jobs
matching their profiles in Nagpur. This leads to out-migraton of a talented class of Nagpur’s
residents. The challenge for Nagpur city is to create jobs in the city, which will retain this
talented pool and spur them to contribute to the further growth of the city. The possibility of
technology majors like Satyam Computers and aircraft manufacturer Boeing setting up shop
augurs well for the city. For greater sustainability, linkages between industry and institutions
must be established and nurtured.
8.3.2 Building equity
In its resolve to become a well-developed city, NMC should not lose focus on the 40% slum
population of the city. The challenge before the city is to ensure that basic services, including
housing, must be provided in an equitable fashion to all sections of the society. NMC’s
important role in providing primary and secondary education to the economically weaker
sections should not be overlooked. A workforce empowered with basic education, can
capitalize on the growth opportunities created in the city.

I. CITIZENS’ DEMAND SURVEY: METHODOLOGY AND

FINDINGS
The survey was quantitative in nature and most of the questions asked during the survey were
objective in nature. (For a sample survey questionnaire, refer to annexures). For sampling,
stratified random sampling procedures were followed. The starting point was selected from
the electoral rolls. The number of starting points for each ward was determined based on the
population of the ward. The higher the population in a ward, the greater the starting point in
that ward. Thereafter, the addresses of the sampled respondents were collected from the
electoral voter lists. On completion of the study, the sample respondents were weighted to
Nagpur’s universe of socio-economic classes (SEC), age and gender distribution.
Altogether, 2015 households were surveyed (about 0.1% of Nagpur’s population).

Classification of the sample by age, gender and SEC is given in the table below. The findings
of the survey were presented during the subsequent stakeholders’ prioritisation workshop.
The survey findings are given overleaf.

KEY FINDINGS OF CITIZENS’ DEMAND SURVEY

• The overall satisfaction index is at 64%, which is a good index.
• Highest satisfaction was in Ward 2 followed by Ward 8.
• The lowest was recorded in Ward 4 followed by Ward 9, Ward 1 and Ward 3 in that order.
• In terms of SEC, SEC E is least satisfied, while SEC B and A are better satisfied.
WATER SERVICES:
The survey indicates that Water Services are well managed by the corporation in Nagpur. Of the total
respondents surveyed, 80% had a water connection in their premises. More than 50% of the
respondents expressed that they receive water at adequate pressure, but nearly 19% of respondents in
Ward 3 said that they never receive water at adequate pressure. Though the average supply of water

102
per day was approximately 4 hrs. (across all wards), the respondents were happy with quantity of
water supplied. Ward 2, 3, 5, and 10 reported a very low supply of water of 3 hrs. a day.
The balance 20% of the respondents, in the absence of a water connection depended heavily on
‘Government Sources’ followed by ‘wells’ for their requirements. Majority of the respondents are
willing to pay 10-20% more for better quality of water services.
Citizens in general reported their reluctance to adopt a metered water supply system. It was
observed that there is a direct correlation between satisfaction with the existing service levels
and the willingness to adopt a metering system.
DRAINAGE SERVICES:
Summary: Eighty-three percent of the respondents had an underground drainage system, of which
37% of the respondents said that their drainage chokes. Choking problem is evident in Ward 4, 8 and
9, where majority of respondents had said that the drainage chokes once in 7 days.
40% of respondents with underground drainage said that the drainage chokes during peak
hours and approximately 20% of them have said that the corporation never cleans it.
In the absence of an underground drainage system, the respondents dispose sewage through ‘septic
tanks’ and ‘open drains’.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT:

Majority of the respondents dispose of their garbage at their doorstep. The respondents also reported
that the Corporation collects garbage from the doorstep normally on a day- to- day basis and are more
than satisfied with the services. Majority of the respondents are willing to pay less than Rs. 10 for
better quality service.
70% of the respondents mentioned that the Municipal Corporation instructed them to separate
the garbage into dry and wet parts.
‘Collection of waste from community bins’, ‘road sweeping’, ‘public toilet facilities’ and ‘ general
cleanliness’ have average scores nearing 3.5 of a maximum possible score of 5. In general, 3.5 out of
5 represents an above average performance.
ROADS AND TRAFFIC:

The respondents gave a very clear indication that ‘increase in population’, ‘lack of maintenance of
roads’, ‘poor public transport’ and ‘growing economic activity’ are the 4 top reasons for congestion
on roads and also that an increase in parking charges is not going to affect the use of private vehicles.
More than 35% of the respondents (pedestrians & motorists) expressed that Nagpur roads are not
safe. ‘Broadening of roads’, ‘better control of traffic by policeman’, ‘state buses to run in more
routes’, ‘construction of more flyovers’ were the solutions suggested by the respondents to manage
traffic in Nagpur.

103
JOB OPPORTUNITIES:
A very grim picture of opportunities of employment in Nagpur emerged from the respondents. The
majority of the respondents has expressed that they would leave Nagpur in search of greener pastures.
When asked the reasons for leaving Nagpur - ‘better jobs’, ‘better living conditions’, and ‘better
education’ were mentioned.
OTHERS:
• Majority of the respondents do no agree that the slums should be shifted outside Nagpur, but
they do agree that the services provided to the poor should be subsidized.
• Toilets and bathrooms are well maintained and supported by adequate water supply.
• Nearly 43% of the respondents mentioned they had faced problems with bills related to
property tax.
• Only 18% knew where to go to complain in NMC and only 14% have ever sent any
complaints to NMC; awareness was better in Ward 3 (42%), 2 (22%)and 7 (22%).
• While 62% of those who complained mentioned that their complaints were resolved, the other
38% mentioned that their complaints did not get resolved within a reasonable time frame.
• “More ward offices” and “direct telephone lines” are the means preferred to make a
complaint.
• Over 50% reported that no information is received on all the issues checked.
• ‘Clean and green’ city seems to be the dream of the citizens for Nagpur city followed by ‘safe
and peaceful’.
DISTRIBUTION OF INVESTMENTS:
A hypothetical scenario, where the respondents would be given 100 crores and asked to invest in the
development of Nagpur city was checked. The respondents mentioned various areas; the breakup is as
below:
17% on slum development.
13.9% generate jobs/ attract more industries
12.9% roads
12.2% municipal services – water, sewerage etc.
11.9% on schools and hospitals and others
NMC was the preferred choice to provide municipal services in Nagpur; secondary choice was
“engaging contractors”.

II. FACT SHEET: WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM IN NAGPUR
Water sourcing
NMC sources about 480 million litres per day (MLD) of water. Of this, only 12 MLD (2.5%)
is drawn from ground water sources, making the dependability on ground water quite low.
But steps are already in place to recharge ground water sources through rainwater harvesting
and rejuvenation of lakes in and around the city. This would supplement surface water
sources in the long-run. But NMC has no concrete plans in place to augment ground water
sources for supplying drinking water to the city.
The three main surface water sources are Gorewada Tank, Kanhan River and Pench Canal.
The Gorewada Tank source was developed in the year 1911. As the city grew and the need
for water increased, the Gorewada Tank source became inadequate. As augmentation was not
possible due to site conditions, surface water from River Kanhan, 14 km., away from the city,
was considered. In 1976, the Irrigation Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, executed a storage
dam across River Pench for a hydroelectric project at Totaladoh and a pickup dam at
Navegaon Khairy. In 1982, the Pench-I Scheme was commissioned, followed by the Pench-II
Scheme in 1994 and Pench –III Scheme in 2003.
According to NMC sources, if steps are not taken, Nagpur would face a deficit situation of
62 MLD in 2011. In anticipation of the increase in demand, NMC has initiated steps to
increase the supply of water. The Pench-IV water supply project will increase water supply
capacity by 113 MLD. The planned capacity up to 2031 will be just adequate to meet the
projected demand.

Water treatment
At present, Nagpur has five water treatment plants with a total capacity of 470 MLD17. All
the existing water treatment plants are of the conventional type with aeration, clarification

Water supply and coverage
Nagpur’s water distribution system is about 1700 km long and divided into ten water
distribution zones. As described in the table below, of the total water sourced, i.e., 625 MLD,
only 78% (490 MLD) reaches the distribution system after treatment (Table 25). In spite of
that, the current per capita availability of water in Nagpur is quite high (Figure 16). Though
there have been some fluctuation in the past few decades, the figure which was 172 lpcd in
2001 has further improved to 200 lpcd in 2004. This is mainly due to the continuous addition
of water sources to the water supply system.

As compared to other cities in India, per capita water supply levels in Nagpur are quite high.
While Surat and Lucknow are comparable with 198 and 199 lpcd levels of water supply,
respectively, Nagpur is way ahead of Bangalore and Ahmedabad. However, it ranks lower
than Chandigarh in per capita water supply levels. Nagpur also manages to meet the UDPFI
guidelines, according to which 135 lpcd is the minimum acceptable level, while 150-200 lpcd
is the desirable level. But the city ranks significantly below standard in terms of transmission
and distribution losses, which must be within 15-20% of the water sourced. Currently, these
are slightly higher than 60%. For every 200 lpcd of water supplied to the consumer, about 97
lpcd is lost in the transmission and distribution process.
At present, there are about 1.97 lakh domestic metered water connections in Nagpur, which
serve about 85% of Nagpur’s population (the rest is served through public stand posts).
Assuming an average household size of five, this implies approximately one water
connection for every two households.
Metering and cost recovery
Of the total 1.97 lakh connections, about 75% are metered. This leads to high NRW levels
(non-revenue water). Thus, with the combined effect of UFW levels and NRW levels, the
cost recovery of the water supply system is quite low. Present flat rate tariffs lead to poor cost
recovery and encourage wastage. Of Rs.5.5 per unit of cost incurred, only Rs.3.5 is being
recovered. To make the system financially sustainable -- besides addressing issues of high
leakages and poor collection efficiency -- NMC also needs to review its administrative
expenses in terms of staff strength and introduce a consumption-based tariff system.

ANNEXURE A: CAPACITY BUILDING SESSION FOR NMC

OFFICIALS
Date: 17th January 2006

Agenda: Capacity building workshop for municipal and other government officials in Nagpur for city
vision and mission preparation exercise.
Attendees: Municipal Commissioner, NMC officials, representatives of government organizations
such as Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, Maharashtra Airport Development
Corporation, Regional Transport Office, Traffic Police and Maharashtra Industrial Development
Corporation and the CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory Team
Time: 12 noon
Venue: Nagpur Municipal Corporation premises
The proceedings began with the address by the Municipal Commissioner (MC) Lokesh Chandra on
the need for conducting this workshop. He sought the participation of all officials in the preparation of
the CDP. MC emphasized the need to compliment each other to have a vision for Nagpur and fit each
other’s aspirations in the CDP. The CDP will receive support from the central and state government in
the form of grants. As a part of the program, some reforms have to be carried out. The programs need
to be self–sufficient. Creation of infrastructure is not a problem, its operation and maintenance is
difficult. It is not a one-time activity. MC urged the officials to take up more and more projects to
meet their requirements. This has to be accompanied by undertaking revenue generation activities.
The local reforms need to be supplemented by state level reforms. The MC stressed on the importance
of clarifying the doubts as early as possible in the preparation of the CDP. MC then asked Dr.
Ravikant Joshi to begin the presentation on JNNURM and elaborating on the process of preparing the
CDP.
Dr. Joshi in his presentation first outlined the objectives of JNNURM. This was followed by
description of the stages involved in the preparation of the CDP. Dr. Joshi said that NURM is a totally
different scheme. The difference is in the fact it is not for the government officials to decide but the
citizens themselves will have to make a choice. There is no cap on money. It is based on merit and
bankability of projects. There has been no scheme like this so far. NMC will set its own goals, decide
itself on its requirements and enter into an agreement for that. What would matter is how well NMC
lives up to its commitments. There would be multiple levels of approval for grants. It is important that
the process is consultative and transparent.
There is a tremendous pressure on urban services. Thrust must be on improving delivery of various
urban services. There are multiple actors and inter-linkages. The idea is not to have state-of-the-art
infrastructure. Every rupee going in for infrastructure development must have economic development
trigger effect. Otherwise, it might have a decelerating effect. Very high cost infrastructure may lead to
very high operating expenditure. This must be avoided. The CDP must aim at improving the
institutional efficiency as well as providing access to the urban poor. Finally, it must be based on
demand of the people; therefore a consultative process is important.
The CDP must address the following issues:

• Service delivery
• Land use
• Transport
• Environment
The preparation of the CDP must follow the following guidelines:

1. Various issues are interlinked. So the inter-linkages will have to kept in mind while preparing
the CDP
2. There would be two plans to be submitted to different ministries. Urban poor services plan is
a must.
3. Private sector participation strategies must be in plans. We must leverage the process to
attract private investments. The expectation from the central government must be kept at a
minimum.
4. Two issues would cut across the entire plan – scheduling and investment planning. Though
resource is not a constraint, there is an important need to empower all concerned officials to
implement the plan.
The public consultations will be at three different levels:

• One to one citizen survey
• Stakeholder group discussion
• Internal vision building by the municipal and other government officials
The steps involved in the preparation of the CDP are:

1. City assessment - CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory is here only to facilitate the CDP
preparation
2. Formulating the vision for the city
3. Itemized list of works in a priority order
4. Whether all these are possible, how to fund each of these projects and what would be the
resource mobilization plan
5. It’s a demand-based approach and at the same time it must be remembered that there are costs
attached to every demand.
Not too many cities have started the process. Dr Joshi said that he was certain that Nagpur would be
among the first 10-15 cities in submitting its CDP provided that NMC follows the timelines.
Question and Answer Session

(MC- Municipal Commissioner, NMC; RJ: Dr. Ravikant Joshi)
Q: What would be the role of Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) in the NURM process? Can we
include urban agglomerations (UA) areas in the development plans?
MC: The implementing agency can be anybody and but the NMC will be the channelling agency.
RJ: NMC is the legitimate authority for the developing the city. In Ahmedabad for instance,
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA)
are the two implementing agencies for city. Government of Gujarat to appoint a nodal agency for the
channelling of funds.
Q. 30% share to come from whom – NMC or NIT?

MC: The financing plan has to be different. State Government will decide the allocation of funds.
Q. Can you separate urban development and economic development? NMC cannot do anything if the
tax payer is not sound. How will CRISIL address the development process? While we think of road
development and city development plans, it is only economic development that will ensure
sustainability. – Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC)
MC: City Development is not just about creation of infrastructure but also about the need to make it
economically viable. There is a need for broad-basing the development plan for the city.
Q: The cargo hub, which is being developed, has potential to generate employment for 1.2 lakhs
people. The increase in economic activity will increase the pressure on civic services. Maharashtra
Airport Development Corporation (MADC) is willing to share its plans for the hub project with NMC
to enable it to make its plans more comprehensively.
Q: It is essential to provide primary health services to urban poor. At the same time there is a need to
have the best hospitals for cancer hospital and organ transplant. Rehabilitation of HIV infected people
is needed since HIV will become a major problem in the years to come. One aspect that is missing in
Nagpur is the provision of emergency medical services something like 911. There is also a need for
sports centres and good public transportation systems.
Q: Public health services need to be very good – preventive care; mother and childcare and periodical
check-up of people need to be done. If there is cleanliness, 90% of the health problems will be solved.
Q: Maharashtra State Energy Distribution Company Limited has prepared a five-year construction
plan and which is awaiting approval from NMC. We need time to prepare a 25-year plan in line with
the CDP. At the same time, why is investment in power infrastructure not a part of NURM?
MC: The availability of power will be critical for the growth of the city. NMC will be important for
the overall development of the city.
Q: Forts around Nagpur city need to be opened for tourists. Water parks need to be developed
MC: Nagpur can be gateway for wild life tourism. There are several wild life parks around Nagpur.
Nagpur should make the visitors transiting through the city spend some more time in the city. The zoo
can be converted into a nice safari.
Q. Slums are a problem – no cut-off date for slums. Who is to be included in urban poor? Land tenure
needs to be defined. If there is no cut-off date, slums will continue. – Maharashtra Housing and Area
Development Authority (MHADA)
MC: Slum is the choice of living for the poor. Affordable and adequate housing needs to be planned
to stop proliferation of slums.
Q: Urban renewal and urban revitalization – what is the difference?

The CDP needs to address the development plan in the areas between the core city and the ring road.
Land use rules need to be looked into.
RJ: This is not a physical planning exercise but an economic and social planning one. The question
that needs to be asked is how can Nagpur be the engine of growth in central India? People will come
here only if there are jobs. Why is Pune ahead of Nagpur? These are the things that need to be probed.
Land use needs to be planned. Pune allowed the development of IT centres in residential areas.
Q. Land use plan is ready but how are the socio economic objectives integrated in the land use plan?
Legislative provisions in the act allow tampering with proposed land use plan. This needs to be
stopped
RJ: CRISIL will not decide on land use planning. CRISIL will vet the feasibility of the plan envisaged
by the citizens of Nagpur.
Q: Every city in Maharashtra has a development plan. Maharashtra regional town planning act needs
to be re-written. Land development authority needs to play a role like Gujarat. Nagpur Area
Development Authority needs to be created. NIT has been made responsible for regularizing illegal
constructions. NIT’s role needs to be questioned in NMC matters. Time has come to do away with
NIT. Nagpur is different from Pune – Nagpur is a planned city – huge areas under public possession
NIT or NMC owns the land. City centres are in shambles. Dharampeeth area is in bad shape. Land
belongs to NIT / NMC. Lot of money can be raised by way of redevelopment. Micro planning is
essential. Nagpur is developing on corridor lines – Nagpur-Butbori corridor and MIHAN. That is why
ring railway was dropped. Can we look into MRTS?
Washington has several museums which days to visit all of them. India has such a rich heritage but
very few museums. According to the curator of the local museum, Nagpur has the best museum but
has no space to expand. Old secretariat can be converted into Central India Museum. (Mr. Kinnhikar,
Chairman of Heritage Committee)
RJ: The ward committee can provide the local level inputs in the development process.
MC: Nagpur does not have ward committees.
MC: The city development plan will try to capture all your ideas that you have for the city.
Q: Traffic police have to face the consequences of poor planning. Traffic police at the receiving end
from media. While planning the roads you do not think about the speed of the vehicle. No efforts
taken to capture the technological developments in the automobile sector. Liquor consumption has a
direct impact on traffic movements. Liquor consumption is on the rise. (Traffic Police)
Q: Solar energy and rainwater harvesting avenues to be explored.
Q: DoT has decided on copper and OFC – Laying of cables will be required – we would require
digging of major roads in the city. Funds are limited so can NURM fund our requirements. Last mile
linkages will require permission from NMC. (BSNL)
MC: Can we visualise our city with every household given a net connection on demand?
Q: We are willing to provide inputs water supply, wastewater and waste management. (NEERI)
Q: Only 200 buses run on Nagpur city compared to 500 in Pune. We need more buses. (MSRTC)
Q: Vehicle growth has been 7% per annum. Public transport is not growing. As city grows personal
vehicles will increase leading to congestion and environmental problems. (RTO)
RJ: (responding to a written question on environment and creation of water bodies and problem of
idol immersion) Rejuvenation of lakes and water bodies can form of NURM. Storm water drainage to
recharge ground water/ water bodies. Only these schemes will form part of NURM.
Q: Satellite townships development and NURM

Development plan of Nagpur City (2006-2031) -
Education
History
Today Nagpur city is reached to tope priority in peculiar methods of education. There were
very few schools in 60-70 decade, private educational institutions were rare at that time .
Most probably education was provided by Nagpur Corporation. After then this educational
responsibility was game to Zilla Parishad also. Meanwhile private educational Institutions
came in existence. As the population increased, the number of students also increased.
Simultaneously number of schools are increased. Schools come in existence as granted,

non-granted and government recognized etc. Recently the schools lice central school,
Public school are dominant due to CBSE pattern. Educational facilities are provided as per
the needs of students.
Today all types of educational facilities are available in this city i.e. higher education,
Technology, Medical sciences, Engineering etc. Nagpur is glorious city having Gurukul a
school of Vedas, Bhansala Military school, Delhi Public School etc. Due to these
peculiarities students from other countries come here to learn.
Present Status-
As per census of 2001 , the total population of Nagpur city is 20,51,320. Out of 20,51,320
males are 10,58,692 and females 9,92,658 . 2,41,605 children belongs 0-6 age-group and
approximately 2,58,395 children includes in 6 to 20 age-group.
From the aforesaid data the total strength of children having 0-20 age-group is 50,00,000 .
Out of these five lacs of children 197,544 are taking primary education from 659 schools.
2,17,023 students are taking secondary education from 396 secondary schools, 45,796
students are learning in 140 Higher secondary schools 70,508 students are learning in 385
junior colleges 1250 students of medical sciences are learning in 12 medical colleges
whereas 3192 students are completing their education in 15 engineering colleges.

Issues
Recently vocational courses like MCVC have been launched in Junior colleges. The
purpose behind it to improve the standard of education among the students, to cultivate
their social status and enable them to stand on their own feet. Inclusive syllabus of every
branch , every subject, every field have been launched . Several colleges like medical,
engineering, B.Ed etc. have been opened with like medical, engineering , B.Ed. etc. have
been opened with the affiliation to Nagpur University No need to go outside for higher
education.
Implementation with a rapid on rush of Sarva Shksha Abhiyan is going on for Primary
education Incessantly efforts are made to get education to every students belonging to 6-14
age group . If any students is unable to go in the school, the school is reached to him
directly. Alternative educational facilities are brought into existence like Mahatma Fuley
Hami Yojana , Setu Shala etc. Inclusive educational facility is provided to disabled or 6-18
age group well educated teaching staff is available to get quality education Primary needs
are fully provided to students. In additional to this teaching aids, and educational
instruments are given to primary section
Well furnished Laboratories, computer education are available in secondary schools, But
some schools are exceptional to this issue. No medical university is available in the city
even today. Hence the students go out of the city for medical entrance formalities
Vision
This city will be able to provide maximum educational facilities by foresight thinking and
well planning . Today the growth of population is 3% to 4% per year and 30% per decade.
Nagpur city is expanding all over east-west, north-south . Alternatively there is a increase in
number of students. There is a probability to increase 30% students per decade. Hence there
is a need to plan so as to provide educational facilities. In the year 2001 the number of
students was 5,00,000.
In the year 2011 it will be increased by 30%. It means that the number will be reached up to
6,57,544. Today there are 659 primary schools. Considering expected growth or students,
859 primary schools will be needed. Some proportion will remain for the year 2021 and
2031. As per the growth students, there will be need to increase, the number of primary
schools secondary schools junior and senior colleges, Medical and Engineering colleges.
The data regarding to this is as follows.

¾ The population of the City is increasing day by day
while the bed strength of Govt. Hospitals is more
or less same. There is urgent need to expand the
bed strength of these hospitals. Currently,
programme for expansion and modernization of
Indira Gandhi Medical college is underway.
¾ Since poor and B.P.L. patients go to these

hospitals, It is very essential to increase bed
strength of Govt. Medical College and Daga
Hospital.
10 Major Problems of Health Care
¾ 40 % of the population of the city reside in the

slum areas. They cannot afford private
treatment because it is very costly. 49 % of the
population is B.P.L. that is there monthly
income is less than Rs.2000 per month.
6
Following are the 10 Major problems in
the Health Care in slum and other
population :
1. Lack of awareness amongst slum population.

2. Lack of infrastructure
3. Poor health status of mother and children
resulting in higher infant mortality rate and
increased morbidity amongst women and
children.
4. Prevalence of communicable diseases in
population.
5. Reproductive and Child health
6. Lack of potable drinking water and improper

sanitation.
7. Higher incidence of diabetes, B.P., heart disease,
etc.. in the population.
8. HIV / AIDS. Nearly 8 Million adult population in
India suffers from HIV / AIDS. The incidence of
HIV / AIDS is 1.2 % in adult population
9. Lack of emergency medical care (accidents and
trauma care)
10. Health care to the elderly population.
7
Vision for the future :
1) Eradication of preventable diseases by 2011 should be the

goal. gastroenteritis, cholera, jaundice, typhoid are
communicable diseases which are prevalent in the city. These
diseases are transmitted by water and unhygienic food. Supply
of proper drinking water can eliminate the diseases. Similarly
strict control and supervision on hotels road side food vendors
is necessary.
2) Eradication of vector – Control of mosquito menace by 2011
should be the target so that diseases like malaria, filaria and
encephalitis can be prevented. Necessary infrastructure,
manpower and scientific approach should be adopted to
prevent vector borne diseases.
3) Control of stray / street dogs is very essential to prevent
infection of Rabies.
4) Total Vaccination of the population as per WHO schedule

should be completed by 2011 to prevent diseases like Tetanus,
polio, measles, diphtheria, Tuberculosis, infective hepatitis,
etc..
5) Control of HIV / AIDS – Necessary infrastructure, manpower
health finance should be provided for establishing preventive,
curative and diagnostic facilities by 2011. Because in coming
years HIV / AIDS is going to be a major problem.
6) For prevention and treatment of cancer, facilities for early
diagnosis and treatment should be provided by way of regular
checkup in pathology, x – rays, etc..in all the 10 Zones of the
city.
7) Diabetes, High B.P., and heart diseases can be prevented by
change of life style and health awareness amongst people.
Health centers should provide for regular BP checkup Blood
sugar test and ECG. There should be an expert physician /
doctor attach to every health facility in each zone.
8
8) City should have convention center for conducting major
medical conferences and for providing health care to the
population.
9) Consultancy medical advice should be available by way of
Internet to all the population.
STEPS
1) Every 30,000 population should have one health facilities
which gives comprehensive health care.
a) Fully equipped with emergency kit – such 10 Ambulances
for 10 zones.
b) A mini Lab for routine test like Malaria, Fileria,
Hemoglobin, HIV/AIDS etc..
c) RCH facilities to be strengthened in the slum area.
d) There should be Epidemic control unit attached to each
Health Zone.
e) Facility for geriatric population.
f) Counseling Centers for mentally challenged persons.
g) Counseling Centers for HIV / AIDS.
Such an integrated approach only will help in combating the

emergent health scenario.
9
2) MULTISPECIALITY HOSPITALS :
Running of Speciality Hospitals is beyond reach of

local bodies due to financial constraints. : NMC and
Govt. should encourage Multispeciality Hospitals. The
experience so far is not very encouraging with regard to
BOT basis hospitals as no private partners are willing
to provide this services. Hence to attract the future
buyers. NMC should provide concessions in the form of
affordable cost land, exemption of octroi on equipment
& medicine, subsidy on water rates and taxes, etc.
3) Involvement of Doctors, IMA and NGO’s in the

health care of poor people. Those NGO’s who
are willing to work in slums should be given
free land or building, water connection,
Electricity, etc.. to run the Medical care on
affordable basis.
IMA should motivate Doctors by giving Slogans
like “Aao Slum Chale ” so

that quality medical care is available to the
slum population.
10
The future Steps towards improvement in the
Health care facilities should be based on
following principle :
1. There should not be Target oriented

programme but they should be based on
community needs.
2. There should be participatory planning in

medical care.
3. Greater emphasis on quality health care and

client satisfaction.
REFORMS
Emergency Care : NMC has started two Emergency

Medical veins equipped with medicines for accidents
and trauma. This needs to be extended in all the 10
zones.
Devadia Maternity Home, Mini mata nagar Hospital

and Super Speciality Hospital on the Govt. land near
medical college, are the projects which are in the
pipeline.
There is a proposal for involving private Doctors by

providing them with free space in the existing
structure of corporation dispensaries. This will ensure
quality Medical Care to the under privileged.
11
RCH, RNTPC, Leprosy, Malaria, Filarai, Vaccination,
School Health programmes, etc.. are already run in
NMC Hospital and they need to be strengthened
further.

Pollution of Rivers and Lakes
Rivers and Lakes are getting polluted due to

Number of Sewers are directly connected to the
Rivers and Lakes.
Inadequate collection system within the City leads
to pollution.
Inadequate sewage treatment facility.
People are disposing debris in the River.
Rejuvenation of Rivers and Lakes
Cutting off direct sewer connections to Rivers & Lakes.

Promoting Decentralized Waste Water Treatment Plant
(DEWATTS) along the river course and near the lakes
or
Using holding capacity of the Rivers as a treatment
facility. This can be thought of due to land constraints.
As a part of rejuvenation greenery can be developed
on vacant spaces.

MAJOR PROBLEM AT RIVERS AND LAKES
• Major Lakes and Rivers are highly polluted due to the direct
sewerage disposal in it.
• Around lakes slums are located which is also main reason for
pollution.
• Deposition of silt, sewage, decomposition of solid waste results
in extensive pollution of these rivers.
• Encroachment around Lakes and along the Rivers.
3
MAJOR VISION
• To restore and conserve the polluted and degraded lakes.

• Prevention of pollution from point source by intercepting,
diverting and treating the polluted loads by entering the
lakes.
• In situ measures of lake cleaning such as Desilting,
Deweeding, Bioremediation etc depending upon the site
conditions.
• Catchments area treatment and lakes Rejuvenation which
may include bunding, fencing, creation of facilities for public
recreation and entertainment (children park, Boating etc.)
and Public area.
• Public awareness and public Participation.
REFORMS
• Diversion of Existing sewage Lines.

• STP at main locations.
• Rejuvenation of Nag and Pilli River.
• Pollution Control
• Restoration of Lakes.
• Enhancement of Green Belt.
Total cost for River Rejuvenation 100 Crores and

Lakes Rs. 50 Crores

MASTER PLAN OF
SEWERAGE SYSTEM FORNAGPUR CITY
WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON
NORTH SEWERAGE ZONE (NSZ)
Historical Background of the Nagpur City
Mr. Lane Brown designed Sewerage Scheme in

1910.
It was executed from 1922 to 1943.
In 1943 NIT prepared Sewerage Scheme for Old
Nagpur City.
It was installed in the year 1964.
Thereafter NMC made additions and alterations to
the Sewerage System.
1
Salient Features
Nagpur City is divided into three Sewerage Zones

namely North Sewerage Zone (NSZ), Central
Sewerage Zone (CSZ) and South Sewerage Zone
(SSZ) based on topography.
Slopes from west to east in general.
The Nagpur Sewerage System consists mainly of
Gravity Sewers.
Its having one Seweage Treatment Plant (Based on
ASP) at Bhandewadi.
Contd…
Contd…..
Salient Features
60 % of the area is having Sewerage Network.

70 % of the population gets benefit of Sewerage
Network.
Length of the Sewer Lines is 1100 Kms. (Approx.)
Dia. of main Sewers ranges from 225 mm to 1800
mm.

North Sewerage Zone on Priority – Reasons
Urban poor are mostly concentrated in NSZ.

50 % of the area is unsewered and without toilets.
Large number of population use open defecation.
This leads to unhygienic conditions in the area.
Ground water is polluted.
Polluted water complaints on very large scale.
4
Proposed Sewerage Scheme for NSZ
DPR is prepared for development of Sewerage

System in North Zone of Nagpur City covering
217.56 Sq. Kms. under the jurisdiction of NMC.
The proposed scheme for this system is the part of
the long term 30 years perspective planning for the
Sewerage System for Nagpur City.
The cost of the proposed system for the North Zone
is estimated as Rs. 129.84 Crores.

Vision
Provide sewerage facility to densely populated urban

poor areas in the City.
Curb unhygienic sanitation practices.
Prevent pollution of ground water and natural
bodies.
Promote reuse of Waste-Water for power plants.
Frame Waste-Water Reuse Policy and implement the
same at State and National level.

¾ Past schemes focused on provision of

physical infrastructure without taking
the views of the slum dwelling
community
¾ So amenities provided were un-
attended as the users were not taken
into confidence
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

Solution to the Continuing
Problem

¾ Good and Pucca Houses to every eligible
slum dwellers
¾ Now focus will be on involving
communities in planning and thereby

SECTOR – STORM DRAIN
• SIGNIFICANCE :- Need for Storm Water

Drainage is purely a result of Modern Urban
Growth. With houses, roads, footpath etc.
coming up, the permeable area get reduced and
rain water starts logging up. Storm Water
Drainage service is necessary to avoid water
logging and resultant breakage of roads.
• The necessity of Storm Water Drain depends on
the climatic conditions i.e. incidence of rainfall
and natural drainage ( Water shed and
topography)
1
PRESENT SCENARIO
• Area of Nagpur City is 217.56 Sq.Km.

• The city gets rainfall from South-West monsoon
which sets in June and lasts till September
• The annual average rainfall is about 1200 mm
• Nagpur City has a very good natural Drainage
Pattern.
• Nagpur City has a very good topographical
Condition having natural gradient in one
direction i.e. from West to East.
Nagpur City has Two Major Storm

Water carrying Streams.
• Nag River :-Starts from Ambazari Lake’s over

PROBLEM AREA
• At present approx. 30-35 % of the Road Network

is covered by storm water drainage system of
Open drain and closed drains.
• Almost all storm water Nallah at Present carrying

storm water as well as sewer flow.
• In the monsoon, there are problems of back flow

in the sewers that lead to unhygienic conditions
and outburst of Epidemic.
• Silting and Deposition of Garbage in the stream /

Nallah
• N.M.C. has recently constructed IRDP road

network and alongside drain network which
allow the runoff to reach the Nallah and River at
rapid pace and now if there is a persistent rain
for 24-48 hrs., there is likelihood of overflowing
of Nag River and Pili River, as their velocity is
restricted due to silting and deposition in the
river.
5
• There are certain areas of the city in the South
Nagpur like Jammudeep, Mahalaxmi Nagar,
Bhim Nagar, Kashi Nagar, Jogi Nagar, Sarvatra
Nagar, Narendra Nagar, Sanjay Gandhi Nagar
having problems of drainage being in the low
laying area. Due to this, ground water got
polluted in these areas and the recent study
shows that there is a growing problem of Nitrate
deposition as the sewers are connected in
nallahs.
• Nallah retention work is not adequate.
• Due to inadequate storm drainage system,

roads are acting as a natural surface drains,
thereby causing, inundation of road in the
Monsoon season and damages to the roads.
• Chocked drains are emerging as a major Urban

Management Problem so the need for
awareness creation among the people to
maintain the clean drain.
6
VISION
• All the catchment area of the Nallah / River shall

have a proper storm water drainage system
through closed conduit.
• All the natural nallah / river shall have proper
Nallah retention work and proper non-scouring
bed to attain sufficient velocity to drain off the
flood.
• All the roads in the City shall have proper road
side drainage to avoid inundation of road and
further to improve the life of the road.
• For drainage of low laying areas, Identification of

low level land to develop as a lake / Pond which
will allow the drainage of low laying areas that
will again improve the ground water recharge.
• Rejuvenation of Pili and Nag River ----
by cutting off the sewers let in these Rivers and
their connecting Nallahs,
Desilting of the rivers,
Construction of Non-scouring bed to these
Rivers and important Nallahs.

B. Composting
Composting of other bio-degradable waste has also been started in some NMC
gardens and dahan ghats.
Development of sanitary land fill in the existing dumping site is in progress. A
composting plant with latest technology will be developed within the dumping
site.
C. Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste

Nagpur city has two compost depot, one at Bhandewadi and another at Chikhli khurd, reserved
in development plan of Nagpur city. The site at Bhandewadi is being used for dumping of waste
presently.
The consultancy services of National Productivity Council, New Delhi and All India Local Self
Government, Mumbai have been sought to “DESIGN AND GUIDANCE FOR UP-GRADATION OF
EXISTING DUMP SITE” with financial assistance from USAEP / USAID. The project work shall be
done in two phases.
Phase – I - Design for Up-gradation of Bhandewadi
Dumpsite (Complete)
Phase- II - Up-gradation of Municipal Dumpsite.
7
In phase II up-gradation of existing dumpsite at Bhandewadi is going to be
done. The available 55 acres of land has been devided into two parts (1) The area
in which maximum MSW already dumped (2) Area in which less MSW is dumped.
The MSW in second part is being shifted to the first part using proper methods and
it will be closed. Then the part in which there is no existing MSW will be
developed as san sanitary land fill and compost plant.
Cost of Phase – I - Rs. 474,35,576

Cost of Phase – II - Rs. 10,24,08,526
MANAGEMENT OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
The treatment and disposal work of bio-medical waste of Nagpur city has been
assigned to a private firm. The firm will charge Rs. 170/- per bed per month on 60%
occupancy. Dental clinics, dispensaries, blood banks,pathology laboratories, private
ayurvedic , homeopathic colleges etc. have also been covered under this scheme. Nagpur

8. NIRMAL NAGPUR PROJECT
Nagpur Municipal Corporation has recently started collection and transportation of
municipal solid waste through out the year i.e. for all the 365 days in a year. The roads
which were cleaned from Monday to Saturday uptill now are being cleaned on all
sundays, public holidays etc.
B. WEAKNESSES OF EXISTING MODEL

1) Collection & segregation storage of MSW.
i) At source segregation is very less, Mostly un-segregated / mixed MSW is
disposed.
ii) Plastic bags below 40 microns is the majors component of the un-segregated
waste.
iii) People are reluctant to pay user charges and also there is lack of strong political
will.
iv) Swachata Doot has to handle MSW separately for recyclable and bio-degradable
waste.
v) Again while unloading into container there is handling of waste.
vi) MSW collected from houses, streets, open places etc is not unloaded into the
containers by every swachata doot or road safai majdoor.
vii) Container / dust bin is open for 24 hours some people specially house maids
throw MSW out side the container.
viii) Nobody wants container / dustbin in the vicinity of his residence.
ix) Equipment used for the collection & storage & MSW like ghanta gadi , cycle
rikshaw, wheel barrow container etc. have a life of not more that 2 to 2 ½ years
therefore it requires recurring expenditure.
x) It is not possible to clear all the 800 container / dust bin daily.
xi) Practically it is not possible to cover ghanta gadi & Cycle rikshaw while
transportation.
2) Lifting and Transportation
i) There are no transfer stations or collection or storage centers.
ii) Every vehicle has to travel minimum 10 km and maximum 26 km to load and
unload MSW which takes ½ to 2 hours per trip.

V) The number of vehicle compared to Pune and Surat Municipal Corporation
which was having population of about 24 lacs in 2003 similar to todays
population of Nagpur.

VI) Most of the Containers are beyond repair and there is spillage of MSW while
transporting.
3) DISPOSAL AND PROCESSING OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
i) There is only one existing disposal site at Bhandewadi

Other disposal site reserved in D.P. is nearer to the airport.
ii) Presently all the MSW is simply dumped at disposal site.
iii) The development of sanitary landfill site within the existing dumpsite is going
on with the pace of availability of funds.
iv) Non- availability of proper disposal and unloading facilities is a major
concern specially during monsoon.
V) It is difficult to process un-segregated waste
VI) Bio-degradable waste has low calorific value
VII) Segregation requires huge expenditure
VIII) These is no proven, guaranteed or cheap method for the processing and disposal
of MSW.
3-VISION
The municipal solid waste generated in houses , offices, hotels restaurants, hostels ,
vegetable markets, shops, streets, industries, gardens, theaters, lawns or any
premises should be stored in a proper way and in a proper place so as to its further
processing & disposal shall be convenient and trouble free up-to disposal site. Ideally
recyclable and bio-degradable waste should be collected and stored separately to
ease final processing and disposal.
Expectations from the citizens of Nagpur
- No-body will litter on the roads, public places or at any other premises.
- Every body will disposed garbage generated in any house / premises in the
places provided by Nagpur Municipal Corporation.
- No-body will spit on the roads or in public places.
- Everyday will segregate garbage.
- No-body will use plastic bags.
- Everybody will keep his surrounding clean and green.
11
4–SOLUTIONS
- Minimization of of MSW at source by way of compulsion or concession.

- Collection of wet and dry waste separately by the municipal corporation.
- Separate storage of wet and dry garbage in the community bins
- Construction of storage or transfer station in every zone specially which are
away from the dump site.
- Procurement of vehicles and containers to assure 100% lifting.
- Provision of sufficient funds for capital and recurring expenditure.
- Enforcement of fine and penalties for the offenders.
- Storage of municipal solid waste collected from houses for the minimum interval.
- Transportation of MSW collected from the houses directly to the dumping yard.
FUTURE REQUIRMENTS
The Nagpur Municipal Corporation has been efficient in collecting the solid waste from
all over the city and maintaining cleanliness. The need of the day is maintenance of the
system in an efficient manner. For this purpose, it is required that the collection and
disposal system be upgraded. To cater to the needs of the population in 2011 and 2021,
when 1300 MT and 1600 MT of solid waste is expected to be generated every day in the
city, additional containers, collection and transportation vehicles, waste storage and
transfer stations, and infrastructure at the new waste disposal site at Bhandewadi are
the immediate requirements.

To modernized the existing system , a refuse compactor system needs to be installed
in the existing storage depots by 2006. A waste segregation system also should be
installed at a later stage in all the storage and transfer stations Infrastructure at the
Bhandewadi waste disposal site is to be provided by 2006.
As part of augmentation of the system, a new and additional fleet of vehicles should be
obtained from 2006-07 till which time the existing fleet is deemed sustainable. Waste
storage and transfer stations should also be added from the year 2007-08. New
containers should be acquired every year.
If the concept of “ Bin free city” has to be implemented than smaller vehicles having
capacity of 1.5 to 2 tons with tipping arrangement are to be acquired. These vehicle will
collect MSW from the households , shops ,etc. and directly unload it at dumping
ground are transportation.

NEED AND NECESSITY OF SLF
•The solid waste generated from domestic and commercial

activities has become a major concern, as they have got the
potential to cause severe environmental problems and are
threatening human health and life.
•In view of that the ministry of Environment and Forests,
GOI, has enacted Municipal Solid Waste (Management and
Handling) rules, in year 2000, under Environment
Protection act, 1986.
•As per this rules Municipal Solid Waste has to be managed
scientifically and disposed off in an environmentally sound
manner.

Deficit Aggravates, Why?
• Course of Kanhan River changes frequently.

• Very high Turbidity.
• Clogging of Filters.
• Very old Pumping Machinery at Kanhan WTP.
• Pench Dam water is transported through Right Bank
Canal to Raw Water Pumping Station at Mahadulla.
• If canal closure exceeds 7 days water level in
Gorewada Lake depletes so much so that there is
deficit of Raw water at Pench WTPs.

ANNEXURE B: CAPACITY BUILDING SESSION FOR BUSINESS

GROUPS AND INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS

Agenda: Capacity building workshop for business groups and industry associations in Nagpur for city
vision and mission preparation exercise.
Attendees: Representatives of business groups and industry associations such as Vidarbha Industries
Association, Vidarbha Association of Software Exporters, Hardware Dealers Association, Lambent
Technologies and Baidyanath and the CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory Team
Time: 5 p.m.
The workshop began with the Municipal Commissioner (MC) Municipal Commissioner making a
presentation on the objectives of JNNURM and a description of the various stages of preparing the
CDP for Nagpur city. This was followed by a question and answer session.
QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION
Q: How frequently can we meet for discussing the Vision? We need a print out of the presentation?
MC: The CDP preparation will be spread over three months starting from the middle of January.
Q: We should become the first the city to get funds from the Central Government. We need to think
collectively to formulate the CDP for Nagpur. It is our foremost responsibility of all Nagpurians to
contribute to this process to realize our dream. We, the industry group, need to brainstorm on this
issue. We need to distribute the sector amongst ourselves.
MC: I need to clarify that this is not our plan. This is your plan. Actual development can happen only
if income levels in the city increase and employment opportunities are created in the city. All of you
have to play a very important role in the growth of the city.
Q. This is a difficult process. It is question of comprehensive assessment of the city. It is a question

how to increase the GDP and the per capita income of the city. We need to have weekly meetings to
decide on the issues.
Q. The process seems to be aiming to reduce the role of the government in the development process.
MC: The first stage of process is to formulating the vision of the city. Then we can deliberate on the
action plan subsequently.
Q: Is there a limit on the vision I can have for the city? Will the central government allow our dream
to be realized?
MC: The success of the programme is not limited by the central government. It is for us to visualize
the plan for our city and formulate a strategy to realize it.
Q. Cluster based approach needs to be incorporated in the visioning process.
Q: There should be will from the government agencies to implement the plan. The visioning process
should address the problems in the formulating of the vision. There needs to be collective will to
realize the vision.
Q. Health sector of Nagpur provide services for the states of Chattisgarh and other adjoining states.
This needs to be further promoted. Are there plans to earmark land for health sector?
MC: We can plan for services like health and IT. We can certainly do that.
Q: We need to focus on two–three sectors in the era of globalization and develop a competitive
advantage.
MC: We will plan the infrastructure requirements according to the visioning exercise. Also we need to
ensure the vision is marketable.
Q: We need to health services to the citizens of Nagpur. Services like checking for AIDS, TB,
diabetes, and blood pressure should be easily available for the local people. There is a need for
emergency medical facilities - say 10 ambulances at different locations in the city providing
emergency medical care.
ANNEXURE C: CAPACITY BUILDING SESSION FOR CLUBS AND

NGOS
Agenda: Orientation meeting with the stakeholders (Rotary clubs, NGOs etc.)
Date: 21st January 2006
Attendees: 30 approximately representing various clubs and NGOs
Time and venue: 12 noon, NMC meeting hall
Presentation by Municipal Commissioner
The workshop began with a presentation by Municipal Commissioner Lokesh Chandra. He began by
first outlining the objectives of the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission. The difference between
JNNURM and other urban development programmes in the past is the integrated approach to urban
development. More importantly it is citizen’s plan for the city and not Nagpur Municipal
Corporation’s plan. JNNURM has provided the citizens of Nagpur to present their own needs. The
purpose of this workshop and those planned in the coming weeks to discuss and brainstorm. It is
important to base your vision for Nagpur city on realistic needs, strengths and weakness of the city. It
is not just about roads or any one aspect of urban infrastructure or life but about meeting the economic
and social development of the people.
The Mission’s objective is to make the city self-sufficient. Eventually it will be the responsibility of
the city to pay for the operation and maintenance of the assets created out of the funds from
JNNURM. Good urban governance is a critical component of the Mission. We need to make our cities
citizen friendly, equitable, investment friendly and bankable. We need to market our cities. This is the
first time that we have been given an opportunity to speak up.
Stakeholder Comments
Stakeholder 1: Various agencies and NMC officials have initiated different programs. We need to call
review meetings of past projects and consultants.
Stakeholder: Is there any provision of setting up a monitoring committee for this project?
Stakeholder 2: People’s participation is important. It should be people’s decision and government’s

participation. We need to have mutual trust and transparency. How we create that, is the most critical
issue. We need to concentrate on middle and poor class people. We need to upgrade our municipal
schools.
Stakeholder 3: Urban poor need to be at the centre of planning. There cannot be any conflict in this
area. We need to prioritise beyond individual preferences.
Stakeholder 4: Nagpur can be a gateway to central India tourism. Nagpur should be made the garden
city of India.
Stakeholder 5: It is time that we start preparing the next development plan
Stakeholder 6: Ring road network is critical in the long run. Separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists
are required. Hawking zones are required in all areas. Existing markets need to be developed.
Education must be made a priority. Standards need to be revised. Rivers need to be conserved.
Stakeholder 7: Is it possible to think 10 years from now? Technology is moving so fast. Will we really
need so many roads? Inputs should be sought from experts for a more realistic planning and visioning
exercise. Should we concentrate only on those areas, which concern the common people? Do we
really need development? The good things about Nagpur – its peace, greenery etc. need to be
preserved. Roads constructed under IRDP have buried the utility lines underneath. About Rs.300
crores needed to rationalise those lines.
ANNEXURE D: CAPACITY BUILDING SESSION FOR

REPRESENTATIVES OF PRESS AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA

Agenda: Information session on JNNURM and CDP preparation process.
Attendees: Representatives of the press and electronic media
Time: 5 p.m.
Municipal Commissioner (MC) Lokesh Chandra first outlined the objectives of JNNURM. He
requested the media representatives to propagate the message about the CDP process amongst its
viewers and readers. He also gave them the email id (cdp_nagpur@yahoo.co.in) for receiving
suggestions and inputs from the local people. The media has been asked to publicise this email id and
urge the citizens of Nagpur to respond to the following questions:
1. What do I like about Nagpur?

2. What do I dislike about Nagpur?
3. I dream about Nagpur as…
Question & Answer Session
Q. In the development of the city we should not forget the heritage of the city.
MC: NURM process also includes the preservation of the cultural sites.
Q: What has been the status of the MONORAIL in the Nagpur?

MC: We need to plan for the future. The need for MRTS has to be envisaged today. If we plan today,
then in five years or so we shall be ready for having the
Q: What is the potential for IT in Nagpur? CM has said Pune is lagging behind because oz of poor
roads.
MC: Satyam already has taken 100 acres of land in the SEZ area. With Satyam, we have made a
beginning and slowly we shall see more IT investments. Also, now Nagpur has got an international
airport and we can market our city as a destination for health tourism.
Q: CDP for Nagpur does it also have plans for increasing the municipal limits of the city.
The CDP preparation will also look into the requirements of the fringe areas of Nagpur city.
Q: Can the local body have a power generation plant of its own under NURM?
NURM does not include power plants. We can lower our energy consumption by having our own
waste energy plant.
Q. Who is the consultant appointed for CDP?

MC. CRISIL has been appointed as consultants.
Q. Which are the stakeholders, which have been consulted so far?

NGOs, clubs, business groups and industry associations and other government departments like
MSRTC, MSEB etc.
Q. You have not included politicians in the process

We will have separate information session for them.
Q: Which are the other Cities in Maharashtra included under NURM?

Mumbai, Pune, Nasik and Nanded.
Q. What role does NIT have to play?

NIT inputs will be sought in the formulation of City Development Plan.
ANNEXURE E: DISCUSSION WITH IDENTIFIED INDIVIDUAL

STAKEHOLDERS
Agenda for the discussions:
The objective of meeting the stakeholders in Nagpur during the three-week period from 17th January –
4th February 2006 was multifold. Firstly, it was to inform the stakeholders about the concept of City
Development Plan as a part of JNNURM. Secondly, it was to update them on the discussions and
outcomes of Workshop held with NMC officials on 17th February 2006. Thirdly, it was to seek their
ideas and perceptions regarding Nagpur. The areas of discussion included strengths and weaknesses
of Nagpur, their vision for Nagpur and what should the city focus on, to achieve that vision.
The list of stakeholders was prepared so as to ensure balanced coverage of all the focus areas of a city
development plan.
Stakeholder 1
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was land use
and town planning.
Stakeholder’s comments
There are various issues with the current level and type of development in the city. The FSI permitted
by the development plan has not been consumed completely in the developed areas, so there is scope
for more development even in the existing developed parts of the city. The amount of open spaces
developed in the city is inadequate.
The Development Plan sanctioning, revision and re-sanction process takes up so much time that the
relevance of the plan is lost. By the time, it gets the approval; the land has already been occupied by
un-authorized layouts, which eventually get regularized. Hence the development plan, its vision and
objectives lose their meaning. Enforcement of development plan, with respect the prevention,
demolition and regularization of unauthorized layouts needs to be strengthened.
Key strengths of the city are excellent road and rail connectivity, ample land availability and well
developed roads. A key area of weakness if that demography is getting skewed towards old – hence
becoming a pensioner’s city. Opportunities for Nagpur include Multimodal International Transport
Hub Airport of Nagpur (MIHAN).
Vision for the city is that it should become the national capital.
Areas of improvement are that town planners and city engineers should co-ordinate with each other
rather than interfere in each other’s work. Also, NMC and NIT should have a common face for public,
for which, backend co-ordination needs to be strengthened with information technology.
The quality of municipal services varies across areas within the city. Core municipal services like
water, sanitation etc. are good within the ring road area. Certain pockets are bad especially because of
unauthorised layouts and hence lack of planning. Overall, both social and physical infrastructure in
the city are good but more CBDs (central business districts) are needed in the city peripheral areas to
have a balanced growth
Stakeholder 2
Given the stake holder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was
tourism.
MTDC has developed several nature related tourist spots around Nagpur including hydro- power
project sites, forests, and dams. In Nagpur, we have a tourist reception centre with single-window
system. A grand zoo is also expected to come up in the city and a transport hub is being developed at
Wardha road.
My vision for the city is that Nagpur city should become a highly modern city like Singapore. Airport
expansion must be done for attracting more tourists to the city.
Stakeholder 3
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was
environment.
Nagpur has emerged out of forestland and hence neutralizes the high development activity and
pollution levels in rest of Maharashtra. The pollution levels are increasing as the vehicular population
is increasing fast. There are also acute problems of air pollution in old city areas and around the
thermal plants. Old industrial units do not have the adequate pollution control mechanisms. Mining
activities also add to the pollution levels. Thus, common effluent plants need to be developed for the
industries.
River action plan for Nag and Pili river was prepared long back by NEERI. It had also organized a
workshop for lake conservation in Nagpur in 2004.
My vision for the city is that development should be done so as to promote peace, prosperity and
togetherness, paving way for clean and green Nagpur.
The strengths of the city are space availability, central location, availability of fertile land and
excellent education facilities. The main areas of weakness are lack of public transport, lack of good
attitude in the citizens and a weak service concept. The amount of open spaces is not in line with the
expanse of the city. This should be increased. The sewage system is not well planned, and leads to
choking of drains. There is also lack of adequate treatment facilities.
Stakeholder 4
environment.
The key strengths of the city are its greenery, educational facilities and peacefulness. The pollution
levels are also tolerable. The main areas of weakness are excessive horizontal expansion without
developing the existing land in the city core. There is also lack of public transport, employment
opportunities due to low economic/industrial growth.
In terms of municipal services, the water supply is good, sewerage system is all right, but electricity
shortages are a problem. As far as drainage is concerned, there is repeated choking and flooding in
certain areas and needs improvement.
Stakeholder 5
environment.
The main areas of strength for Nagpur are its location, sustainable development, as both business and
people are coming to the city at a similar rate. There seem to be some good signs for expansion.
The weak areas are that the municipal services are much below citizen’s requirement and need a
revamp. In fact, they are getting worse with time. The street sweeping services are not good. Also, the
service quality is not in line with the taxes. Especially, the property tax levels are very high.
Stakeholder 6
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus areas of discussion were
culture and heritage.
The Central museum in Nagpur is owned and managed by the state government. As far as heritage
structures are concerned, there is a list of about 200 buildings marked as ‘heritage building’. These are
those buildings, which are 50 years old or even older than that have a historical, documentary
(university) or treasure significance (museum). But often, there are vested interests in listing of
heritage buildings.
City’s weak area is lack of funds for conservation of museum and other buildings, as compared to
other states. More focus is needed on maintenance of lakes and gardens. There should be focus on
objects of conservation rather than structures/ buildings holding/keeping them.
NMC must pressurize the state government for funds for conservations. These can also be sought
from the city’s rich people and industrialists.
Stakeholder 7
tourism.
Stake holder’s comments
City lacks the right culture and attitude for development. There is lack of courage in government
officials to take strong and big steps. We need to start dreaming big now. The political environment in
Nagpur is quite unfavourable for rapid development.
The positives for the city are congestion-free roads and its great connectivity and central location.
Nagpur’s future would be determined by three sectors – tourism, industries and trading. 1988 was the
year of economic and industrial upsurge. There was power surplus situation in Maharashtra. Later in
1992-93, there were various labour issues, union problems etc. Now there is a need for some big
industries that can attract other allied industries and generate employment.
For that we need better flight connectivity. International flight connectivity, especially to cities like
Singapore would place Nagpur on the international map.
MIHAN is creating a wave of development. Its anticipation itself is leading to development and
market activities.
Hotels here as compared to other cities are very flexible. They can act as cheaper training or
conference centres as compared to cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Infrastructure is not a constraint for
the city.
My vision for Nagpur is that it should become and IT and industrial hub. But for that, we need future
oriented planning. We also need to make provision for increased expansion and density. NMC needs
to become citizen oriented. We need clear policies and faster processing of applications.
Stakeholder 8
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was local
economy.
The city can become a cargo hub, but there is lack of political will and vision for the same. As a
developer I feel that development control rules are not practical and height control rules are too
stringent. The plot sizes are too small and hence adequate parking facilities cannot be provided in
small plots.
Nagpur’s strengths are cosmopolitan and yet peaceful atmosphere. The road and rail connectivity is
great but there is need for better flight connectivity. City’s weaknesses are its politicians, who don’t
have any vision. They have no concern for city development. Labour problems are not resolved,
instead aggravated by them. Materials and labour are not a constraint; they are readily available
Load shedding can become an economic constraint. Forests and mines are critical part of the city; they
should be taken care of. NMC has very high tax rates for rented properties. There is simply no logic
for such policies. Such things prevent big corporates from coming into the city.
Planning needs to be dome at two levels - macro and micro. Subsidies and exemptions need to be
given to invite IT companies. Land should be developed in alignment with economic development
and transport planning. Planning for existing and new areas need to be separated as their needs and
concerns are very different. We also need to decide clearly the pattern of development for Nagpur –
whether vertical or horizontal development and prepare the details of plans accordingly. NMC/ NIT
should also define building norms in accordance with plot size or density and once the norms are
defined they should be properly adhered to.
Stakeholder 9
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus areas of discussion were land
use and planning.
Strengths of the city are availability of land, especially the unutilized government land. The roads are
good, local parks have been maintained well. There is lots of forest area. The city has a lot of
intelligentsia in the form of retired professionals and IAS officers settled here.
Key problems are lack of public transport, concern for urban design, poor core infrastructure and
numerous un-authorized layouts. There is lack of planning for shopping streets and mixed land use
provision.
Priority should be given to authorised layouts while providing basic infrastructure. We need to retain
the green spaces. NMC, NIT, power boards etc., all the service providers should have a common
citizen interface. Planning of satellite towns like Kamptee should be as good as the core city. Better
transport planning is needed in new areas. Citizens must be involved in the planning process.
My vision for Nagpur is that it should be known as a garden city.
Stakeholder 11
tourism.
Ever since Nagpur has become a part of Maharashtra, it has been a neglected city. Local politicians
only have vested interest.
City’s strengths are its roads, excellent places to stay and eat.
But tourism is not developing to its true potential. Some of the reasons being. Local tourist guides are
not there. The key government organization for development of tourism, MTDC, has only 12 crores
allocated for the entire state, most of which is spent in western region of the state and promotion of
their own resorts. They don’t really have concern for tourism in general.
Public transport is an area of concern in the city. People are forced to own private vehicles. People
who own large spaces of land (e.g. PKV) are not ready to develop them, and hence they are lying
vacant unnecessarily. NIT has maintained the green spaces relatively better as compared to NMC.
Nagpur should become the ‘Gateway to central India’ or ‘Gateway to the tiger country’. Airport for
international flights should also be encouraged.
Stakeholder 13
environment.
Nagpur nature conservation society is an NGO working with students for creating environmental
awareness. It mainly deals with solid waste management.
In Nagpur, there is a problems are choked drains. Actually, there is no need of drains in the city, as
there is a natural drainage pattern. If they are constructed and not maintained properly, they breed
mosquitoes.
Rain water harvesting needs to be encouraged. All land has concrete or tar, so there is not much scope
for seepage. There is also need to create local soak pits.
Maintenance of parks also needs to be taken seriously. There is lack of planning for open spaces in
Nagpur. A proposal has been floated to convert Ambazari lake and surrounding area into a bird
sanctuary.
My vision for the city is - ‘Nagpur as gateway to eco-tourism” and become an example for other cities
in environmental sensitivity. More consultation should be done for development plans. Co-ordination
needed between plantation, electricity and telecom agencies is critical for the sake of keeping good
roads in good condition.
Stakeholder 14
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was culture
and heritage.
Nagpur was known as city of lakes and gardens in the 18th century. It is famous for three things -
oranges, RSS and diksha bhoomi.
It is important for citizens to know their past, their city’s history. More than 200 building have been
listed as heritage properties. They should either be preserved or uplifted in such a way that people are
able to see and appreciate them. For this coordination between heritage committee, NMC and NIT is
needed. Approval should be taken from heritage committee before giving the building permission and
not past facto. Building norms around heritage structures must be controlled, especially in terms of
height, minimum distance between structures etc.
City centre should have museum, which describes everything about the city. Trees for roadside
plantation need to be chosen carefully. I would like Nagpur to continue to be known as the ‘Orange
city’. Roadside plantations of orange trees should be done.
Stakeholder 15
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus areas of discussion were health
and economy.
Business activities have been growing but infrastructure has not been growing accordingly. The basic
municipal infrastructure is in place, water supply services are satisfactory.
The key strengths of the city are its roads, greenery, cleanliness and an overall liveability. But
sustainability of the city is a question. Numerous professional education institutions also there in
Nagpur, but none of these are top ranking institutes as per national standards.
There is no clarity about the aspect of responsibility. There is need for a system to ensure quick
processing of grievances. The main areas of weakness are the on-going power crisis and poor public
transport. Power crisis would be a limitation for everyone, especially economic development. With
respect to public transport, reliability is critical. Besides this, there is also scarcity of professionally
qualified people and the work attitude not up to the mark. As big corporate houses are eyeing Nagpur,
we need more professionalism.
IT companies are already looking for spaces outside Bangalore and Hyderabad. When they consider
Nagpur, they’ll look out for basic facilities like power supply.
Medical Infrastructure: Nagpur has a huge potential to be developed as a regional medical hub. It
would be able to cater to a population of 40 lakhs in central India. There are not many quality health
care facilities available in the city. Corporate houses like Wockhardt have already set up a facility in
the city. CARE is also expected to set up shop soon. Corporate should set up facilities themselves,
rather than following the franchise model, to ensure quality services. There are lots of private doctors,
nursing homes available in the city.
City being small in size and smooth traffic situation, excellent emergency care is possible, unlike
bigger metros. Air connectivity is also critical for medical facilities. Road network with neighbouring
states need to be developed better.
Stakeholder 16
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus areas of discussion were
sectors of local economic development, long term planning for traffic and transportation and cost
recovery of municipal services.
We need to plan for extended parts of the city. In the given area, greenery in good proportion. But the
spaces reserved for afforestation have not been developed so far.
Vanrai, (a NGO in Nagpur) was set up about 15 yrs ago. It mainly works in the area of roadside
plantations. It uses its own funds for this purpose. We need playgrounds in the city. Rainwater
harvesting should be made a part of building norms. There should be a cap on population allowed in
the city. Government’s focus should be on rural areas rather than investing more money in the urban
areas, which already have abundant resources.
24x7 water supply is too ambitious an objective for NMC. Similarly for power supply, we should not
target 24 hours power supply.
My vision for Nagpur is that it should become an ecologically sustainable and friendly city. The
development must be based on values. People in Nagpur value relations. For that, we should retain
Nagpur as a second tier city.
Stakeholder 17
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus area of discussion was traffic
and transportation.
Traffic signal and junction management in Nagpur should be improved. This can be done by
introducing closed circuit television at critical junctions, introducing area traffic control, marking
clear zebra lines, stop lines and other road markings properly. We should improve road engineering/
designing at busy intersections like Kadbi Chowk and Vaishnodevi Chowk. There should be
synchronization of traffic signals.
For decongestion of roads and carriageways, we should identify parking and no-parking zones,
introduce pay and park system and construct a few parking plazas. We should also have hawking and
no-hawking zones identified in the city. We should have sub-ways at important market places such as
Variety Chowk, Jhansi Rani square, C A road and Residency road. We need flyovers at W H road, C
A road, rail-over bridges etc. We also need traffic parks to get children educated on road safety and
discipline. We should introduce electronic tool systems, noise screens on flyovers. We also need a
website for providing information on car-pooling, to minimize vehicular congestion.
To increase safety levels on the roads, we should have about 15 – 20 mobile vans at major junctions
to control speeding vehicles. We should equip the traffic police with speed guns and breath analyzers
and construct more speed breakers. Even notional speed breakers may do a part of the job.
Stakeholder 18
Given the stakeholder’s current profession/business/interest, the focus areas of discussion were water
supply and public transportation.
Nagpur should have its own dedicated sources of water supply. Rahari and Kochi Projects should be
expedited to reduce dependence on irrigation department.
Increase in vehicle ownership will only put more pressure on parking spaces. We should have more
parking lots, basement parking and multi-level parking. A reliable public transportation system is also
required.
To ensure economic development in the city, we definitely need to improve the power supply.
Stakeholder 19
economic development.
Without adequate power supply to a city, no economic development is possible. Considering the
shortage of power, illuminated hoardings should be banned. 24x7 water supply is not required, as it
would lead to wastage. But at the same time, just one hour of water supply is insufficient.
There is need to increase public transportation coverage. There should be train connectivity between
north and south Nagpur. Flyovers should be constructed at appropriate places. Roads should be
widened.
Taxes are very high in Nagpur. Amravati and Gondia are growing faster because of lower taxes. We
need to improve tax collection efficiency to spread tax burden over a larger population. There should
be single window clearances for industries. Agro-processing industries should be encouraged and
there should be compulsory rain water harvesting. Also, adequate compensation should be paid for
land acquisition.
Stakeholder 20
Stake holder’s comments
As 60% of the oranges produced in the country are from the region in and around Nagpur, food
processing can be a major industry here. Nagpur can also emerge as a major textile hub. Satyam and
L&T Information Technology have already made plans to use Nagpur as a centre for software
development. Steel industries can be developed around Nagpur, as there are about 200 rolling mills in
the region, within a 30 km radius of Nagpur. Nagpur can also be developed as tourist hub for wild life
tourism.
Housing availability in Nagpur is not a problem. In terms of infrastructure, water resources need to be
upgraded. Drainage system is very old and needs to be improved and sewerage system needs to be
improved. Unauthorized constructions need to be stopped. There is strong need for a public
transportation system like metro rail. Outer ring road also needs to be developed.
Private universities need to be encouraged especially private engineering colleges. We need more pay
and park facilities. Power plants should be set-up around Nagpur to solve the power problem. Also,
cargo hub (MIHAN) project needs to be expedited. Single window clearances for industries are also
required. This all needs a strong political will, which is lacking in Nagpur. FSI needs to be increased
and enforcement of building plans and related laws should be enforced strictly.
My vision for the city is that Nagpur should be industrially developed and at the same time should be
a big village. Big village - because development of concrete jungles leads to deterioration in human
relationships.
Stakeholder 21
Nagpur losing out to Raipur in the logistics business. This mainly because labour here is very
organized and very expensive compared to the surrounding areas. Also, land here is no longer cheaper
as compared to Chattisgarh.
Transport hub project (MIHAN) is being over-hyped. Nagpur, besides its geographical location, has
no strong factor for it to be developed as a transport hub. The project is expensive and will lose out to
cheaper alternatives. Cost competitiveness will drive economics of the project and MIHAN is not
favourably placed in that respect. MADC is profit oriented rather than development oriented.
IT potential for Nagpur is also exaggerated; Nagpur cannot be another Bangalore. A positive attitude
of the educated class and good law and order situation will drive economic activity in Nagpur. It is
very safe for women and women’s participation in labour force is very high. Health city as a vision is
also far-fetched as quality of doctors here is very poor.
Stakeholder 22
transport and traffic management.
There is a steady rise in vehicle ownership in the city. People have migrated from bicycles to two-
wheelers in a very short time. In the coming years, there will be only two-wheelers and cars on the
roads. Bicycles will disappear from the city. There will be congestion on the roads of the city because
rising vehicle population. There is a need to improve public transportation system in the city. It is said
that Nagpur requires 800 buses for public transport and there are less than 200 buses running.
There is a need to privatizing public transport in the city.
Another problem is with regard to road safety. The road engineering in the city at some of the major
junctions needs to be improved to prevent accidents from occurring.
ANNEXURE F: STAKEHOLDER’S WORKSHOP ON 5TH FEBRUARY

2006

Agenda: Information session on JNNURM and CDP preparation process.
Attendees: Representatives of the press and electronic media
Time: 5 p.m.
The Process
This workshop was held to bring together municipal decision makers and the stakeholders to arrive at
a consensus to define the vision and mission to enhance economic growth and quality of life for all
citizens of Nagpur. The stakeholders were from diversified backgrounds ranging from NGOs,
professionals, industrialists, environmentalists and educationists. The special invitees were Dinesh
Waghmare (Chairman Nagpur Improvement Trust), Lee Baker and Niels Van Dijk representing
United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The session started with a welcome address by the Commissioner, Nagpur Municipal Corporation
Lokesh Chandra. He unfolded the context and concept of the City Development Plan (CDP). He
briefly explained the objectives JNNURM and path traversed so far in the preparation of the City
Development Plan.
Dr. Ravikant Joshi of CRISIL Infrastructure Advisory then presented before the audience the key
findings of the individual consultations conducted over the previous two weeks and juxtaposed those
findings with the views of NMC officials on every aspect of urban life. The objective of this
presentation was to put in perspective the aspirations as envisaged by NMC officials for the city and
the citizen’s own aspirations on various issues.
Group Discussions
The first session created an understanding amongst the NMC officials and the stakeholders regarding
what JNNURM was about, why CDP was important, what are the key facts that need to be kept in
mind during envisioning and where Nagpur stands today. The stakeholders were divided into eight
focus groups:
Water supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waster management

Roads, traffic and transportation
Slums and urban poor
Urban environment, rejuvenation of water bodies and gardens
Tourism, culture and heritage
Local economic development
Land Use and housing
Health and education
These focused areas had come up during earlier discussions with NMC officials and individual
stakeholders. The entire gathering was divided into these groups depending upon their preference.
There was a member from the CRISIL team present in every group just for observation purpose and
noting down the key points. The groups were asked to discuss on following three areas:
An overall vision for the city of Nagpur

The vision of the focused area (sector) of the group
Strategies to achieve the same
They were also asked to make a presentation on the same; the presentation and strategies presented by
groups are annexed.
The workshop concluded by a brief summary of the entire visioning exercise by Municipal
Commissioner Lokesh Chandra. The stakeholders were informed about the future course of action and
were invited for feedback on the entire session.

PRESENTATION BY GROUP V ON ‘URBAN ENVIRONMENT, GARDENS
AND LAKES’
Presented by group leader Paramjit S Ahuja, Architect1
VISION
An ‘autonomous city’, that would facilitate the highest ‘quality of life’ possible. Such a
city would be amongst the most liveable places in the country. This would be possible if
the principles of sustainability are adopted as benchmarks for policy making.
An autonomous city would be one that would be, as far as possible, self-sufficient in so
far as meeting its basic needs such as water, energy and food.
A liveable city would be one that would score high on parameters such as peace and
harmony among communities, urban air quality, safe and sufficient water, safe roads,
efficient public transport, quality education, quality health services, employment
opportunities, economic growth, affordable housing, recreation facilities, cultural
development, conservation of heritage and preservation of bio-diversity.
A sustainable city would be one that would meet the above present needs without
compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.
ACTIONS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE VISION
Peace and harmony

•Ensure economic well-being by adopting appropriate policies, some of which are
mentioned in the following pages.
•Distribute resources without discrimination amongst communities. Public distribution
system should be strengthened and cater to the truly needy.
•Promote mixed-use neighbourhood planning, i.e., residential activity with commercial.
This results in late night life on streets thus promoting peace.
•Enforce law and order. This will be possible if : sufficient manpower is recruited, the
working condition of law enforcing personnel including housing is improved and if the
•Police are sensitized to be people friendly.
Urban air quality
•Planning: proper zoning of activities in locating polluting industries/activities, etc.
•Introduce inexpensive and efficient mass transport that would use green energy. This
will wean away a large proportion of the population from use of private vehicles.
1
This note was submitted by the Group after the Workshop; there was no PowerPoint presentation made at
the workshop.
•Introduce legislation that would levy prohibitive tax/parking charges on private vehicle
users. This will discourage use of private vehicles which in turn will improve ambient air
quality.
•Introduce a network of Greenways. These are cycle and pedestrian tracks in
neighbourhood areas.
•Urban forest: Trees are a component of road design. Plant evergreen species of trees.
These absorb air pollutants (SPM, ozone, CO2).
•Treat 100% solid waste and hospital waste.
•Public transport systems should shift to green energy sources.
•Landfill: capture methane gas from landfills to produce electricity (e.g. City of
Vancouver Landfill Project). This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
•Observe 1 day in a month as a Car Free Day. Promote street based activities on this day
for all sections of the society through a community based effort. Use the occasion in
promoting Nagpur as the cleanest, greenest and healthiest city in India.
Water and sanitation

•Planning: zoning of activities for locating ground water polluting industries, etc.
•100% treatment of solid waste, hospital waste and industrial waste. This will ensure that
untreated waste is not discharged into the water ways.
•Separate storm water and sewage water to check ground water pollution.
•Prevent leakages in water lines.
•Regenerate rivers, lakes, tanks, water bodies, wells, bores and other water sources for
•Meeting the water needs of the city. Some of these water bodies are Naik Talao, Lendi
Talao, Pandrabodi Talao and Pardi Lake. Bringing water from afar by depriving areas not
related to the city is not sustainable. The existing water bodies such as Ambazari,
Telankhedi, Gorewada, Sakkardara and Jumma Talao should be developed and protected.
•Create new water bodies to augment water supply. It must be remembered that while
Nagpur has 10 lakes, Hyderabad has 100.
•Separate potable water lines from non-potable water. This will reduce the cost of water,
increase availability and will lead to conservation of this scarce commodity
•Bio-filtration: collect storm water in a pond and treat it using the plantation filtration
method (e.g. Auroville international township, Tamil Nadu). Besides using the filtered
water for non-potable purposes, the polishing pond will facilitate aesthetic as well as
environmental benefits.
•Introduce two stage treatment of solid waste: treat solid waste in-situ (in appropriately
designed septic tanks) and discharge the effluent in sewer lines leading to polishing tanks
for further treatment and re-cycling. This will pre-empt the need for expensive solid
waste treatment plants and pay for itself through re-cycling and by its positive impact on
environment.
Energy
•Diversify sources of energy generation: green energy from sun, wind, fuel cells, waste,
etc. (e.g. 100 MW Solar Renewable Energy Power Plant, Nevada, US to be
commissioned in 2007)
•Mandate higher efficiency standards for all new areas, dwellings, appliances, business
operations, existing and new street lights and hoardings.
•Planning: earmark green energy generation areas in new developments (e.g. from PV
cells).
•Green lights: LED lights use 80% less energy and can last 6 to 10 times as long as
conventional light sources. This can be put to use in traffic signals, etc. to save substantial
costs in electricity and maintenance.
Roads and transportation

•Vehicle downsizing is the core issue. Introduce efficient and inexpensive mass transport
(that would run on green technologies) to reduce the vehicle density. This will make the
roads safer and the environment cleaner.
•Legislate: Introduce legislation that would levy prohibitive tax and parking charges on
private vehicle users. Again, this will make the roads safer.
•Introduce a network of Greenways. These are cycle and pedestrian tracks in
neighbourhood areas. This will facilitate different ways to move through the city, i.e. an
alternate mode of transportation and in effect safer roads.
•Introduce a network of fully equipped Emergency Ambulance Service with common
access number as an integral part of public transport for persons in need of immediate
medical assistance.
•Ensure that roads are engineered as per IRC norms. Services should be laid in unpaved
boulevards so as to be accessible. Similarly, trees should be planted in the unpaved
boulevards.
•Enforce traffic rules and educate the citizens to follow them. Ensure sufficient
manpower to enforce the rules. However, it must be remembered that no amount of
enforcement will make a significant dent in reducing accidents if road design is faulty.
•Roads should be well lit to make them safe. This should not mean that roads should be
excessively lit.
•Commercial areas such as Sitabuldi, Dharampeth, Sadar, Itwari, etc. should have only
pedestrian access. Vehicular access to commercial areas should be permitted only up to
the periphery. This will make shopping a truly pleasurable experience and a safe one at
that.
•Differently- abled persons should be able to access all amenities without assistance.
•Planning: provide sufficient surface parking with easy ingress and egress.
EDUCATION
•Municipal schools have the maximum reach. More importantly, this reach impacts the
most vulnerable section of the society. Therefore, municipal schools must impart quality
education. Providing mid-day meals will go a long way in increasing attendance in
schools.
•Municipal school buildings are in a pathetic condition. One has come to associate all
that is sub-standard in education with municipal schools. There is no reason why there
cannot be a turn around in this perception. Allocation of funds in the education sector
must increase manifold. This should be invested on infrastructure and in better
emoluments for the teaching faculty.
HEALTH SERVICES
•Municipal hospitals / dispensaries have the maximum reach. More importantly, this
reach impacts the most vulnerable sections of the society. Therefore, municipal hospitals
/ dispensaries must deliver quality health services. Again, providing mid-day meals in
municipal schools will improve health of children.
•Municipal hospital/dispensary buildings are in a pathetic condition. One has come to
associate all that is sub-standard in health services with municipal hospitals/dispensaries.
The allocation of funds in health sector must increase manifold. This should be invested
on infrastructure and in better emoluments for the health workers.
•A note of caution: Most politicians and administrators want visible progress during
their tenure in office. Therefore, most of them are inclined to go for ‘projects’. As an
immediate return on investment (ROI) in education and health is not visible, these sectors
are given the proverbial step-motherly treatment. This mindset must change if the
mission objectives of JNNURM are to be realized.
Economic growth
•Planning: land use planning and zoning to encourage diverse economic activity.
•Land use and zoning to accommodate different lifestyles and business opportunities.
•Payback: a roadmap to be drawn for meeting the costs for creating and maintaining the
new amenities and services.
Housing
•Planning: mixed use neighbourhood planning with low rise-high density residential and
commercial activity on the city’s edge.
•Rent control act and land tenure policies directly impact housing development. Reforms
recommended by committees set up for the purpose must be implemented.
•Repeal ULCRA.
•Legislate: incorporate eco-efficiency principles into new buildings and housing. Green
building rating system to be adopted.
•Ensure a portion of the housing stock serves lower income needs by making provision
for lease of city owned land for non-market housing
Heritage, culture and recreation
•Provide incentive to heritage property owners by way of waiver of property tax, grant of
TDR, etc.
•Create conservation fund for maintenance of heritage properties
•Delineate and develop precincts and heritage zones
•Prepare precinct guidelines
•Organise heritage walks
•Promote heritage hotels
•Encourage heritage tourism
•Legislate: built heritage is part of our culture and should be integrated into planned
development. Therefore, publish appropriate Development Control Rules for heritage
zones and precinct.
Bio-diversity
•Revive Nagpur’s bio-diversity, eco-systems and facilitate systems which can be co-
habited by people, flora and fauna. To achieve this, bio-diversity corridors passing
through the city must be preserved.
•Create an urban forest by growing appropriate trees in parks and streets.
•Relationship with the surrounding hinterlands must be one of give and take. A
relationship in which the city lives off the hinterland will doom both the city and the
hinterland.
•Promote organic / nature farming to enhance soil life / yield.
•Nagpur’s river (Nag River) originates within the city. This is a unique phenomenon. The
fact that the river has its origins within city limits means it should be possible to revive
and nurture it.

Traffic and transportation group
Glaring facts…
• Population increasing at a rate much higher
than national average
• Growth of vehicles compounding at 10%
– 1.6 lakhs vehicles being registered every year,
87 times vehicle increase in the last 40 years
– Number of vehicles even higher than Mumbai
which is 5 times bigger
• Pollution levels alarmingly high
1
Key issues…
• Massive vehicular congestion on roads
– High private vehicle ownership
• Public transport grossly inadequate, as per
prescribed norms
– Mainly in terms of volumes vis-à-vis growing
requirement
– Deteriorated in the last 10 years in terms of per person
availability
• Chaotic parking situation
– Heavy on road parking- hindrance to traffic flow
– In private spaces/ residential areas/commercial, parking
areas not available as per plan
Key issues…
• Safety
– For pedestrians, Cyclists, Senior citizens and
School children
• Health hazard
– Increasing trends of diseases related to
vehicular pollution
TRAFFIC SITUATION UNSUSTAINABLE

AND UNACCEPTABLE
2
Our vision for the sector
We envisage a city which has maximum people
mobility, is safe, affordable, eco-friendly and
efficient
• People centric – all strata of the society, not
vehicle centric
• Affordable to both the public and the civic bodies
• Less polluting, no damage to the natural
environment
• Efficient – energy efficient, time efficient
Proposed strategy
• Public transport should become the lynch pin of
transportation in Pune
– Share of public transport must increase from current
20% to more than 50% in the next 10 years (in terms of
number of trips)
– Dedicated lanes for buses, cycles
– Explore private participation options
– Prioritize allocation of available resources
– Co-ordinated parking areas – park and ride
– Disincetivize private vehicle usage
3
Proposed strategy
• Safety (target 10% reduction in accidents
every year)
– Dedicated bus lanes
– Segregation of modes – focus on cycle tracks
and footpaths
Proposed strategy
Parking policy
• Dedicated multi-modal terminals in peripheral areas
Divided views on public parking
Parking as a device for traffic demand management -
disincentivize parking through high parking charges
Or
Parking to be provide for all vehicles - Multi-storied parking
Private parking should be as per norms, decided through

consultative process
4
Proposed strategy
• Other suggestions
– All congested parts of the city to be identified and planned for
– Vehicle free zone management to be adopted for select areas
– Usage of technology for better traffic management – e.g.
computerized signaling
– Time restriction of heavy vehicles in the city
– Compulsory provision of footpaths on all roads
– Flyovers: area if disagreement
• Flyovers needed to reduce congestion,
• Flyovers is no a solution to reduce congestion
– Financial strengthening through fines/challans/pollution tax - to be
used for public transport
Proposed strategy
• Suggestion from traffic police
– Police force to be strengthened in terms of numbers,
capabilities/skills, equipments
– Registration of cars to be stopped
– Police to be a part of decision making process related to
traffic planning (e.g. permission for malls)
– Comprehensive traffic surveys needed
– VIP visits and city festivals should not disturb city
traffic
5
Action area
•A comprehensive traffic and transportation plan must be developed
immediately considering all the broad areas discussed in this
presentation
•In line with the proposed vision
•No ad-hoc solutions/plans
•Must incorporate an investment plan
•This plan must be a part of the overall development plan
•Single and independent authority for all traffic and traffic and
transportation issues
• The suggestion of our group may be refined after discussions with
various other groups

ANNEXURE G: FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS: DISCUSSION

SUMMARIES
Date: 25th February 2006
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Venue: Nagpur Municipal Corporation
Group name: Medical and Educational Infrastructure
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group –
Medical and Educational Infrastructure. The discussions in the group revolved around the topic of
primary education and health care.
The session started with a presentation about the agenda of the discussion, sector relevant issues
emerging from city’s rapid assessment and a summary of the presentations made by NMC officials
and stakeholders in the vision and mission workshops.
Summary of the discussion
First and foremost requirement is to improve the quality of NMC schools. To develop the buildings
housing these schools, NMC should allow more FSI. It should allow private sector participation for
infrastructure development and maintenance in these schools. In lieu of that, after schools hours, the
private partner, may be allowed to use the spaces for library, coaching classes etc. Computerized
library should be added to the schools. Public private partnership in school education would go a long
way in improving the quality of NMC schools.
Military school for girls would add to city’s glory. A cyber crime training centre may also be
developed. A centralised library should be built by NMC, well equipped with foreign books,
information about foreign universities etc. Awareness of students should be increased about smoking,
drugs etc.
To attract more and more students to the city, higher education should be made cheaper. Better
infrastructure in government universities and colleges would also be needed. NMC/ Nagpur
University should frame plans to utilize their educational infrastructure and premises after regular
working hours.
To retain students after college years in the city, scholarship should be presented to students and
opportunities for industry interface should be increased. Basic amenities should be improved in the
University area.
The sector mission statement should be “Education for all”
We need to improve our education systems and link it up with employment opportunities to prevent
the on-going brain drain. We should encourage a healthy competition between pubic and private
universities in the city.
Nagpur is a hub of numerous national level institutes. It also has ample educational infrastructure. It
may become another Manipal of India soon.
NMC officials suggested that Zilla parishad schools should be moved outside NMC limits and clarity
should be there with regard to their maintenance and administration responsibilities.
Specialty technical institutions should also be developed, keeping in mind the job market. For e.g., IT,
aeronautical engineering etc. Specialized institutions for street children rehabilitation should be
developed by NMC. They should be given vocational training.
Planning should be done in a way to support employment to the all the educated citizens.
Accordingly, there is need for more industries and training institutes. Research laboratories in fields
like pharmaceutical and agriculture should be set up. Government may seek NRI participation for the
same.
We should also motivate Nagpur’s children for joining the defence sector. We should restrict new
colleges from setting up. Currently, the number of institutes is increasing but not their quality.
To support the medical industry boom in Nagpur, nursing courses may be started.
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Group name: Land Use and Housing
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group – Land
use and Housing. The session started with a presentation about the agenda of the discussion, sector
relevant issues emerging from city’s rapid assessment and a summary of the presentations made by
NMC officials and stakeholders in the vision and mission workshops.
Loading the entire cost of housing on the poor is not possible. Large sums of money have been
provided to NIT for unauthorized layout for improvement, but the situation of lack of infrastructure
still exists. While planning housing or rehabilitation schemes, authorities need to include not just core
facilities like water, sanitation etc, but social amenities as well.
Spaces for housing are available at Amravati road and Kanhan, but urban transport a big issue. For
success of a housing scheme for the poor, connectivity with work areas is critical. A detailed survey is
needed to identify appropriate plots for developing housing schemes. Subsidized industrial housing
schemes may be considered in future development plans. For housing schemes for the poor, status
should move from rental to ownership now. This would ensure better maintenance of the buildings.
In general, housing stock is more than adequate in the city. The permitted FSI has not been consumed
yet, even in the central areas of the city.
Periodical review of bye laws is needed to keep up the market demands of changing lifestyle. Even in
the heart of the city and old areas, planning standards to be revised to addressing conservation issues.
NMC and NIT should have a common face for the public for co-ordination for development plan and
implementation issues. Merging NMC and NIT may be done, at least for planning purposes.
The slums and unauthorized layouts are very high in number in Nagpur. But, NMC feels that all 284
pockets would be tackled under SRA. Extra FSI and separate bye laws would be prepared to ensure
commercial viability of such projects.
In the new plans, hierarchy of roads should be based on development realities esp the expected
densities. Supporting such development with upgraded infrastructure would not be a problem in that
case.
One of the participants raised a question about inability of NIT in implementing the DP (Development
Plan). There is no clear idea about the extent of DP’s implementation. NIT representative said that the
key reasons are long approval time, announcement of Gunthewari Act (wherein, all encroachments
have been regularized) and the artificial demand of land created on the outskirts of the city. To
address these issues in future, NIT has already started preparing plans for six schemes in the city
outskirts.
There is an urgent need to repeat Urban Land Ceiling Act to encourage group housing / townships
schemes in new areas.
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Group name: Water supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waste management
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group – Water
supply, sanitation, sewerage and solid waste management.
Individual Suggestions/Action points
NMC: One of the main problems that the city faces is the loss of water of about 40%. In developed
countries, this loss is about 15%. NMC will find it difficult to reach the developed countries’
standards but it is possible to reduce losses to 25%. Accordingly, NMC has plans to take up water and
energy audit projects worth Rs50 crores under JNNURM. The other problem that faces NMC is the
inequitable distribution of water. Just as NMC is trying to provide better water supply services to the
city, the citizens also have a role to play in conserving water and reducing wastages. Also, people also
have to cultivate the habit of paying their bills and in time. It costs NMC Rs10 per litre while the
consumers on an average pay Rs3.50 per litre. The aim of NMC is to provide potable water that meets
the requirement of in terms of quality and quantity of water.
Stakeholder: It is important that for sustainability that water sources within the city are exploited. By
rejuvenating the lakes, the city can use sources within the city.
NMC: Rejuvenation of lakes can provide at the most 10 MLD of water and this quantity is insufficient
to meet the demands of the city, which is in excess of 500 MLD.
Stakeholder: What about the sustainability of the water sources? Till what time are we going move
from one source to another to meet our city’s requirements? We should supply non-potable water for
industrial uses.
NMC: In Nagpur there is proper demand side management. In the four summer months demand
shoots for non-drinking months. Also water supplied to the western parts of the city is more than that
what is supplied to other parts.
Stakeholder: In the slum areas, the there are supply problems in the summer months. The ground
water potential can be exploited during the summer months when there is a supply issue in the
summer months. The wells in the slum areas can be used for meeting their drinking water
requirements. But the problem is if municipal water is available, the maintenance of these wells is
completely ignored. So when the need to use well water arises, it is found that water is not suitable for
potable purposes.
Stakeholder: Once the slum dwellers are used to getting water from municipal connections, how do
you expect them to maintain the wells. The situation in summer months gets so bad that in slums there
is water supply for two hours once in three or four days?
NMC: In the 5072 and 1900 layouts under NIT, the use of tube wells is rampant. NIT develops areas
without taking the consent of NMC and then asks NMC to provide infrastructure to these layouts.
This puts tremendous strain on NMC.
Stakeholder: Water is available in northern and western parts; development is along southern end.
Besides there is horizontal expansion happening in the city. NMC should develop the infrastructure as
per the development patterns in the city.
Stakeholder: There is no common forum for NIT and NMC to discuss issues. NIT develops and NMC
has to supply water; infrastructure plans to be made first, then develop area. We can learn from the
example of NOIDA. In NOIDA, infrastructure is planned first then the development takes place.
Stakeholder: In Chennai water harvesting and water rejuvenation has solved the water problem. In
Nagpur also we can make a similar effort.
NMC: In Nagpur the water table is considerably high and the further ground water charging will raise
water table levels and may even threaten the foundations on buildings in the city.
Stakeholder: NMC’s response to cleaning of wells is not good at all. Out of ten complaints, one is
attended to. People in slums do not get water at all for three days.
Stakeholder: There should be water holidays so that people will understand the importance of water
conservation.
NMC: Currently NMC supplies 170 MLD of water to the slum areas. Most of the water is loss due to
leakages and theft. Given the lifestyle of slum dwellers and the area of their dwelling space, it is not
possible to consumer more than 70 LPCD. With an eight-lakh slum population, the supply should be
less than 60 MLD. The balance 100-110 MLD can be effectively utilized for other parts of the city.
This is something that NMC has been planning to do.

Group name: Urban Poor and Slum Development
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group - Urban
Poor and Slum Development.
There were some points of disagreement among the stakeholders, as highlighted from the previous
discussions and workshops like repealing Urban Land Ceiling Act, construction of transit camps,
extent of political interference in slum development activities, rehabilitation policy and the issuance
of tenure rights to slum dwellers. All the above points disagreement were focused upon during the
discussion.
The NMC officials presented the latest developments on Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA)
scheme. It was informed that the previous slum development schemes have been closed and SRA will
be implemented soon. As per the scheme, every household will be ensured a minimum space of 300
sq. ft. This can extend to 450 sq. ft, in which case, the beneficiary will have to contribute for the
additional space. It was suggested by some of the stakeholders that a lot of slum areas in Nagpur have
already benefited from previous schemes and have the basic infrastructure; hence it is crucial to
prioritize the slums for SRA scheme implementation. NMC officials added that there are commercial
implications to be considered while deciding a potential site for implementing SRA, which also need
to be considered by and these factors will be given due consideration by NMC.
Participant 1: Slum development should be taken up on a priority basis in Nagpur. SRA schemes
should be implemented in a more transparent manner and should involve active participation of NGOs
and common people.
Participant 2: There has been an increase in the informal employment opportunities throughout the
city, hence this proliferation in the number of slums. The slum dwellers have drawn out plans for
redevelopment, but they are not acceptable to the government. It is extremely necessary to integrate
people’s plans with the development process otherwise the efforts may go futile. Resettlement sites
also need to be planned with utmost care and efficiency. In most of the cases, there is no thought on
the adequacy of infrastructure availability before proposing a resettlement site. The experiences
related to quality of construction of government houses were also discussed. At most of the places, the
quality is poor resulting in distrust among the slum dwellers. This also applies to the services provided
by NMC in local Aanganwadis or Balwadis. There is a constant complaint of teachers not being
available and over quality of food served. Coupled with this, issues related to minimum wages,
alternative livelihood sources for informal sector in Nagpur city were also discussed.
Participant 3: The condition of women and children on the construction sites needs attention. There
are no infrastructure facilities to take care of this informal work force that supplies cheap labour to the
city. Availability of resting sheds, water, toilet facilities etc on these sites seem to be totally absent.
There is also an urgent need to identify and demarcate hawking and non-hawking zones in the city.
Considering the growing hawking population and the people who use their services, it is essential to
identify and demarcate hawking zones. The areas for these zones and parking stands for rickshaw
pullers should be accurately worked out. Absence of this has already created more traffic congestion
and overcrowding in the city. Currently the NMC has contracted rag picking and door-to-door waste
collection to private contractors. This leads to a lot of questions related to their minimum wages, legal
identification and social security. Due to occupational hazards involved in the job, NMC should
identify and regularize the rag pickers through issuing appropriate ID cards and providing them with
basic health facilities.
Participant 4: It is essential to undertake an extensive survey of all the potential sites for SRA
schemes. While proposing resettlement, the NMC/State government should ensure minimum
infrastructure standards at the alternative site. The new development plan should take into
consideration adequate reservations for EWS housing and opportunities for informal workforce of the
city. SRA schemes /any other development programs should envision and facilitate participation of
NGOs and communities themselves.
Participant 5: SRA schemes should be designed only for dilapidated areas. Most of the slums in
Nagpur are well off in terms of infrastructure and quality of housing. This is also because there has
been a lot of inflow of funds in the previous slum development schemes. Hence it is critical to
prioritize slums appropriately under SRA. For rehabilitation; an authentic survey of years of residence
should be done. For slums that have been growing organically, it is essential to consider access to
emergency services like ambulance, fire engines etc.
Participant 6: For success of any slum development program, it is important to ensure tenure rights to
the slum dwellers on the same site. Planning of new settlements for urban poor should be holistic in
approach and proximity to work place, proper quality of housing, minimum infrastructure levels and a
good quality of life should be ensured. The slum areas that already have the desired quality of housing
should be de-notified as slum settlements and added to normal housing stock category in the city. It is
important to accept the fact that slum dwellers also provide services to the city in form of informal
work force, domestic help and providers of other services and hence should be seen with respect.
Nagpur city also receives high floating population. People usually arrive in the city in search of better
jobs/livelihood opportunities. The city plan should envisage this and make provisions for the same. As
far as possible the slum neighbourhoods should be planned as self-sufficient. This should include
housing, infrastructure for work, education and recreation areas for this section of the population.
Participant 7: Nagpur city should be clean, green and corruption free. Awareness generation is
necessary to achieve the above goal and hence the programs should be popularized through local news
channels, cable TV etc. Quality of education in municipal schools should be monitored regularly and
steps should be taken to ensure higher secondary education (till 12th) for all. The curriculum in
municipal schools, along with ways of imparting education to be reformed.
Participant 8: At least 450sq.ft of houses should be provided under the SRA schemes. Wherever
people have come up with their alternatives plans, NMC should take consider people’s plans and
prepare a comprehensive rehabilitation package. While negotiating for a people’s plan, it is essential
to identify NGOs who can work with PO’s (People’s Organizations) to collectively play a role in such
mega scale developmental projects.
Participant 9: It is important to generate current socio economic data on the slum settlements in city
before planning any developmental schemes. This should be followed by proper coordination between
various developmental agencies including NMC, NIT, MHADA etc. The slums communities should
be involved from planning to implementation of these programs. The NMC staff should be trained on
adopting this participatory mechanism. NGOs can be active partners in facilitating this change. Before
getting in to any physical development of slum areas, it is essential to advocate for individual tenure
rights to the slum dwellers. This should be facilitated by a single agency (NMC) irrespective of the
ownership of land on which slum is based. (State govt., central govt., railways etc). Slum
development should be through an integrated approach encompassing needs for education,
employment and a healthy environment.
Participant 10: It is important to take stock of physical and environmental status of the slums in
Nagpur. Most of these areas have been provided necessary infrastructure and should not be treated as
slums anymore. It is also important to clarify whether the existing Gaothans will be treated as slums
in the upcoming SRA program. The process of granting tenure rights is an important step in initiating
large-scale development initiative in these areas. This will also enable the slum dwellers to avail
appropriate credit facilities for housing and other uses. To realize the benefits of large level slum
development schemes, it is equally important to create adequate employment opportunities in vicinity
of these slum settlements. New industries should recognize the local skill basket and encourage local
employment as well.
Participant 11 (NMC): SRA should be implemented in consultation with the slum communities and
NGOs. Proper notification should be issued to the public at large and details of schemes should be
shared in a transparent fashion.

Time: 4-6 p.m.
Group name: Local Economic Development
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group – Local
Economic Development.
emerging from city’s rapid assessment and a summary of the presentation made by the stakeholders in
the vision and mission workshops.
Stakeholder: In Nagpur, the scope for manufacturing is reducing day-by-day. Labour is a big problem
here. It is not only very organized and costly but also very lethargic. It becomes difficult to operate in
such a scenario. Petrol costs are the highest in Nagpur and probably the highest in the country.
Stakeholder: The soil of Nagpur is very fertile. If irrigation facilities are provided adequately, the
agriculture potential can be exploited considerably. This will increase the purchasing power of the
rural population around Nagpur city. This will boost the overall economy in the region. Nagpur can
emerge as a food-processing hub.
Stakeholder: The Octroi rates are very high. This works against setting up of industries within Nagpur
city. For industries, which can be targeted in Nagpur city, there should be some kind of concessions
by way of Octroi rebate. This will boost economic activity in the region.
Stakeholder: Industrial growth will happen only if backward linkages are developed. For instance in
Pune, the presence of the automobile manufacturers has resulted in developing an auto ancillary
industry in and around Pune. Nagpur also has to do something similar.
Stakeholder: We need the MIHAN project if the Nagpur has to grow faster. We should aim at
completing the MIHAN project in the next three years.
Stakeholder: Political interference in labour disputes is another area of concern. This creates several
problems for all the industrialists. That is why there is no major industrial activity in the region.
Stakeholder: NMC has to re-organise itself to function like a corporate entity. They should recruit
more qualified people. There needs to be a separate cell for economic development. This cell should
provide a single interface for all prospective and existing investors to interact with.
Stakeholder: NMC should be seen as a serious development organisation. They should be more
proactive. Nagpur though has a better urban infrastructure than most Indian cities but still lags behind
most other cities. Nagpur should market itself to prospective investors. NMC should have an
advertising campaign to attract prospective investors.
Stakeholder: Nagpur has lots of potential for IT. In 2000, there were no IT companies in the city.
Today there are more than 60 companies in the city. Satyam has already plans for Nagpur. Infosys and
Wipro are also looking at Nagpur as a prospective investment destination. IT will surely grow in
Nagpur.
Stakeholder: NMC will have to incorporate the needs of industries like IT, education and health sector
in the land use plan it prepares. NMC owns several vacant lands in prime locations in the city. This
land should be exploited in partnerships with the private sector. IT parks and health care facilities
should be developed on these lands.
Stakeholder: Nagpur city has considerable potential for vertical expansion in the core city areas. The
existing FSI limit according to industry sources is inadequate and unreasonable. Higher FSI will
provide larger built-up area for industrial, commercial and residential consumption.
Date: 2nd March 2006
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Group name: Urban Environment
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group - Urban
Environment. The discussions in the group revolved around the topic of Urban Environment,
specifically gardens, water bodies (lakes, rivers and nallahs) and the pollution levels of air, water and
noise.
It was suggested by one of the participants that “Urban Environment” is a broad term and includes
many other issues like water supply, sanitation, SWM etc and hence the scope of discussion should be
broadened. CRISIL representatives clarified, that there is a separate group that is specially focusing
on these aspects of urban environment, and are categorized as core municipal services. Hence the
focus in the current group would be confined to the following components of urban environment –
water bodies (rivers, lakes and nallahs), parks and open spaces, air quality, water quality and noise
levels.
Nagpur historically was termed as “Gateway to Central forest” and still holds the importance of being
harnesser of rich biodiversity in central India. The city also takes pride in its 10 lakes, which hold
extremely high historical significance, but have been managed poorly.
There are many spaces/areas that represent the natural environment (rivers/lakes/water bodies) and are
home to rich biodiversity: flora and fauna. In addition to this, some areas also serve as sources of
water supply to the city. It is very important to understand these linkages and accordingly plan for
these areas. With the increasing number of projects related to Amusement parks on plans of NMC, it
was felt that such initiatives should not be encouraged at the cost of losing heritage and biodiversity
rich sites. As far as possible, the heritage of the city and natural environment should be conserved and
not comprised at the cost of “Development”.
The deterioration of the natural lakes and water supply sources also seems evident. Ambazari Lake,
which was once source of water supply to the city, has turned in to a garbage dump. The water is now
unfit for drinking, and is now being used by MIDC for industrial usage only.
Overall air quality is good in Nagpur. SPM levels usually are found above permissible levels in
residential and commercial areas in the city, due to increasing construction activity in the city.
Thermal power plant also generates large amounts of fly ash, which also increases SPM levels.
High levels of nitrates in water also signify sewage contamination. At places, there is also ground
water contamination and this is extremely hazardous for areas that intake ground water.
Noise standards are reported to be under permissible levels. There were no specific concerns raised
about noise levels in the city.
Suggestions
Incompatible land uses are being allowed in the vicinity of Nagpur city. The captive thermal power
plant is one such example, which is highly objectionable due to its proximity to the current habitation
in the city.
It is imperative to adopt a holistic approach towards nature conservation in the region. Hence there is
need to draw lessons from NBSAP (for Pune) which has specific action plans for conservation.
Biodiversity corridors should be created in the forms of continuous stretches. There should be a clear
cut strategy to conserve and protect the physical environment in form of rivers and hills in Nagpur.
Nag River has its origin in Nagpur. It is very important to think in terms of rejuvenation of the river
and address issues related to its pollution due to sewage and other wastes. A comprehensive plan
needs to be drawn out for the same. Efforts/schemes should be designed to check diversion of sewage
inflow in to the lakes, by locating the sewage treatment plants appropriately. It was suggested to go
for decentralized sewage treatment. Some of participants also suggested sewage/ wastewater treatment
at individual household level itself.
The Group also reflected on creation of new lakes/water bodies. All the lakes were long back by the
kings. The present planning doesn’t seem to recognize the need of creating new water bodies in
potential areas of the city.
One of the NMC officials commented that any development plan has to take into consideration the
natural environment. Biodiversity conservation programs should be the focus of CDP as well. The
responsibility of implementing these activities has to be taken up jointly by NMC, NIT, NGOs and
other public sector departments. Funds should be channelised to ensure development of gardens, open
spaces, roadside plantations in the city. A regular tree census should be undertaken to measure the
progress of these efforts.
Another stakeholder suggested that it is important for any development plan to identify and demarcate
biodiversity corridors in the city. It entails clear demarcation of water bodies (lakes/rivers/wells) and
plans to conserve their catchment areas. Reference should be made to the Supreme Court directives,
which also encourage people to revive the lost lakes/water bodies. There is also an urgent need to
think about decentralized sewage/waste treatment at individual household level. This will help reduce
the pressure on central treatment plants and ensure proper disposal of sewage generated. It is also
important to review the linkages of the city with its hinterlands to ensure sustainable exchange of
food, water and other resources.
Every city plan should be necessarily based on the principles of “Eco Planning”. Essential features
that constitute the landscape of city (including its topography) should not be ignored in the city
planning process. It is also important to ensure that new development follows the principle of
ensuring sufficient open spaces in the city in form of open spaces. Certain species of flora and fauna
that are native to the region exist in areas in and around Nagpur. Special care should be taken to
ensure their conservation in city planning. The fringe areas are degrading fast. We need to ensure that
they are planned and maintained well. In this initiative, it is also important to educate the people and
make them part of this planning process.
It is important to plan the entire development in the area in coherence with infrastructure investments.
Development in NOIDA, Navi Mumbai could be taken as examples in the Indian context. While the
investment plan has to ensure ecological sustainability, it is also important to consider the spillover
effects of development, which may not be environment friendly.
Date: 4th March 2006
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Group name: Tourism, Culture and Heritage
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group -
Tourism, Culture and Heritage. The session started with a presentation about the agenda of the
discussion, sector relevant issues emerging from city’s rapid assessment and a summary of the
presentations made by NMC officials and stakeholders in the vision and mission workshops.
Heritage conservation should be a focus area in preparation of building regulation and development
plans. Heritage includes both natural and man-made heritage.
Heritage
Lately there have been a large number of unauthorized layouts spurting in the city, near to fringes or
in fringe areas. A rough estimate suggested around 2500 such layouts. It is important to devise a plan,
which can check the growth of these unauthorized developments in city’s precincts.
List of heritage structures, prepared by the Heritage Committee needs to be revised–old industries can
also be considered in the new list.
Like heritage structure, precincts also need to be identification by the Heritage Committee and
development guidelines need to be defined for them. Initial steps would include detailed mapping of
the areas.
Heritage Committee also need to plan separately for the old city area and the same should be
incorporated in the Development Plan. Adequate infrastructure, appropriate public transport (no or
minimum pollution) should be provided. Overhead wiring to be removed to improve the urban design
aspect. Relocation of hazardous industries and re-development of important structures should be
carried out from the conservation fund. Within the old city area, vulnerable zone should be marked
separately. Strict architectural controls –street furniture, skyline, landscaping, signage and names
should be enforced.
Overall, regulation should be done for the heritage structures in terms of building and traffic
regulations, zoning, monitoring pollution and related activities. Funds and other resources for
maintenance should be provided separately.
To monitor all these activities, a separate heritage department/ cell should be created in NMC. NMC
should create a separate conservation fund from its budgetary allocations. It may also seek donations
or grants from NGOs, industrialists and other organizations active in this area. 204 structures are
already listed as heritage structures.
There was a debate about the subject whether all heritage structures should be made open to public.
Lots of government buildings, listed as heritage structure are not open to public visits, which limits
people’s interest in those. Some other participants countered the fact mentioning the security issues
and maintenance cost associated with such a step.
Tourism
Nagpur has certain inherent advantages to be developed as a tourism destination – connectivity,

location and proximity to tourism sites. For development of this sector, NMC should consider
development of world class convention centre. Tourism may be developed on the theme of adventure
tourism, religious tourism, health tourism, transit site or eco-tourism. Activities like Nagpur festival
should be organized alongwith other promotional activities.
MTDC can convert a few heritage structures into guesthouses for their proper marketing and usage.
Some pilot projects for tourist sites development may be taken up by MTDC through private
participation. Heritage walks and tours may be organised. RTO should refine the process for such
permits Private owners of important heritage structures should be encouraged to maintain and develop
them through incentives like waiver of property tax.
Regular cultural and festival activity should be encouraged by providing subsidized sites and other
incentives. Awareness campaigns should be carried out by state tourism department and private
operators. An official website should be created to market Nagpur. Tourism circuits may be
developed including some non-heritage structures also.
To build the sense of city’s culture and ownership for the same, local schools should make this subject
as a part of their curriculum. Photo exhibitions may be organized depicting the glory of Nagpur’s past.
Training of guides, light and sound shows etc. are was also suggested by the participants. Finally, an
integrated tourism plan should be prepared and it should be further integrated with the development
plan
One of the participants suggested that the old secretariat building should be developed as a museum.
Date: 8th March 2006
Time: 5-7 p.m.
Group name: Roads, Traffic and Transportation
Preceding the 2nd stakeholders’ workshop, a focus group discussion was held with the group - Roads,
Traffic and Transportation. The session started with a presentation about the agenda of the discussion,
sector relevant issues emerging from city’s rapid assessment and a summary of the presentations
made by NMC officials and stakeholders in the vision and mission workshops.
Citizen: Nagpur has no traffic plan. Without a traffic plan, the city is building flyovers, widening
roads etc. Is that the way the road infrastructure in the city is going to be improved?
Citizen: The IRDP project has several flaws in the road design. These need to be corrected. Also,
because of IRDP, the average speeds of the vehicles have increased substantially. It is important that
speed-calming devices are installed at critical points.
Traffic Police: Technology has to be used to manage traffic in the city more effectively. The use of
CCTV and active traffic control can considerably aid the traffic police in managing the traffic more
effectively. The use technology particularly closed circuit television and active traffic control are
recommended in the city of Nagpur. For a smooth flow of traffic, NMC should synchronise the
signals in the city.
MSRTC: MSRTC is finding it difficult to improve the public transportation system in the city. The
city bus operations are loss making and hence find it difficult to invest in new capacities. MSRTC had
asked NMC to take over the city bus operations but had declined in the past.
Citizen: The public transportation system must be improved so that people do not resort to use of
personal vehicles on a daily basis.
Citizen: A major problem that plagues the city has been the absence of parking lots in the city. It is
important that pay and park schemes are develop in the city. Building plans make a provision for
parking lots but in reality the designated places for parking are being put to commercial activities.
NMC should be vigilant in identifying the violators and should take immediate steps to put an end to
unauthorized development.
Traffic Police: For Nagpur city to be safe city for both pedestrians and motorists, it is essential that its
citizens are aware of the traffic laws. It is recommended that traffic parks are set-up in the city to
educate children about traffic discipline and road safety.
Citizen: The city roads have to be safe for non-motorised traffic such as bicycles. The city should
have a separate lane for bicycles since Nagpur has a large bicycle population.
Citizen: NMC should take over the public transport functions from MSRTC. NMC being the local
body will be more concerned about Nagpur’s needs rather a state owned body.
Citizen: Nagpur should have a public transport policy, which will be basically inspired by the
National Urban Transport Policy. MSRTC should throw open their infrastructure - bus depots,
workshops etc – for other users like private bus operators. Private buses should be allowed to operate
along with MSRTC.
Citizen: NMC and not private operators should run public transport operations in the city. Private
operators will not care about public safety. Public transport should be provided only by NMC.
NMC: NMC is planning to invite bus operators to provide public transport services on a contract
basis. We are awaiting approvals for the authorities to be able to provide such services.
RTO: RTO faces several problems in the city. The local RTO does not enough space to conduct
driving tests in the city. There is a need to have more than one RTO in the city. This will reduce the
pressure on the existing RTO.

ANNEXURE I: HANDOUTS GIVEN DURING PRIORITIZATION

WORKSHOP ON 12TH MARCH 2006
City Development Plan for Nagpur
Prioritization Workshop
Strategies and Action Plan

(Please refer to this for group discussion and group level prioritization exercise)
March 12, 2006

Vision and Mission Statement
The vision for the Nagpur was formulated by the stakeholders through the consensus approach and
continued consultation with the community on strengths, current issues, concerns, problems and
desirable future focus areas. The mission statements were also formulated by the citizens in the
previous workshop (5th February, 2006) and further refined during focus group discussions during
first week of March 2006.
Why Nagpur is Important
The stakeholders were asked to articulate why Nagpur is important for them; various opinions were
articulated and the following characteristics emerged as the defining ones, shaping the identity of
Nagpur:
o Centrally located in India with large catchments spread in all directions
o Rich mineral resource base
o Well connected to all major cities in India through road, rail and air networks
o Excellent medical and educational facilities available in the city
o Clean and green image of the city
Vision for Nagpur
As a result of above-mentioned workshops with NMC officials and stakeholders in Nagpur, the vision
for Nagpur is emerging as follows:
… An eco city that provides adequate, equitable, sustainable access of urban services for
all citizens
The workshops have also indicated that to achieve this vision, NMC should support the following
growth themes:
o The city should attain a key position in IT, ITES and health services related industries
o Support industrialization in its hinterland
o Promote education, culture and tourism


Mission statement: Nagpur should be a city having a vibrant economy with employment
opportunities and infrastructure, to support good quality of life.
Strategies and action areas

Develop collaboration and association between institutions and industries of Nagpur to further
establish the dynamic role of Nagpur as a hub for agro-processing, steel and allied industries, textiles,
transportation and IT.
o Joint Coordination and curriculum development, facilitation of R&D for industries in
institutions, impart training in institutions by industry
Ensuring adequate power supply to retain the newly acquired role of investment destination
o Immediate measures to cover the current shortfall through demand management, captive
power generation and appropriate planning for the future
NMC should play a more active role in fostering an environment, which is conducive to
business.
o NMC should provide a single window to all business and commercial groups to deal with
matters pertaining to various civic services and approvals. It should have an economic
development cell, which will act as an interface for all issues raised by commercial and
business groups.
o Simplify the processes relating to industries to support investment activities in the city.
Project and Investment for Economic Development:

All investments and projects suggested as part of CDP will support economic activity directly or
indirectly. For e.g. markets, truck terminal may be developed, for which NMC needs to identify and
develop projects.
Land Use and Housing

Mission statement: Modern land management practices that promote economic development in an
environmentally sustainable manner
Strategy and action areas
Inner city/ core areas revitalization
o Decongesting the core areas through selective relocation of commercial and trading activities
o High Density high rise provision must be made in the old city limits
o Identify land in the peripheral areas and provide connectivity and other infrastructure
o Building Regulation policies to be framed to encourage decongestion of the core areas
through building norms, FSI norms & incentives, parking norms
Discourage development in critical, ecologically sensitive areas

o Critical locations with respect to environmental sensitivity need to be identified and
demarcated by the town-planning department.
o Special DCR need to be made applicable to these areas to restrict any encroachments and
unauthorised developments.
o Private land owners within large masses of green spaces within the municipal limits like
PKV, NEERI, VNIT etc. must be involved in the planning process
Develop CBDs in other parts of city
o The assessment with respect to the current land use indicates that there is still scope for
commercial activity. This however shall be dispersed and more business districts should be
developed which will decongest and reduce load on the core city areas.
Compatibility of land uses
o Carry out study to identify corridors where densification is possible. NMC must calculate the
carrying capacity of various areas on the basis of certain indicators, for example the water
source, eco-sensitivity, cultural or heritage significance etc.
o In selected areas, where the carrying capacity still exists, the concept of paid FSI must be
explored. The contractor must be given extra FSI with extra payment.
o Educational institutions/ work places and residential areas being located in opposite directions
generate traffic demand, which could otherwise be avoided if land use was compatible. The
DP, which is due in 2007 needs to address this issue as availability of land is not a constraint.
Facilitate housing for slum population and transit shelters for the EWS/ LIG migrant population
o Encourage builders, developers to develop mass housing under incentives. These aspects will
need to be taken into account in the new Development Plan to be prepared.
Peripheral areas’ (metropolitan regions) development needs focus and integration with
transportation networks through coordinated efforts from NMC and NIT
o The potential development areas in the peripheral areas need to be linked through an efficient
arterial structure within /outside the city. These would provide alternatives to these areas
bypassing the core of the city resulting in decongesting the core. The arterial structure is
proposed in such a way that it will take care of future vehicular growth. Thus NMC shall
undertake an exercise to widen these roads and connect the missing links.
o Provision of adequate land for transportation corridors, transportation hubs and network to
provide safe efficient and affordable mobility.
Practical and demand based land use planning

o The preparation and implementation of the next development plan should be accelerated to
retain its relevance and it should be revised every five years based on land demand for
different uses.
Project and Investment for Land Use: Investments need to be quantified for the above strategies.
However this being more of a planning exercise, investments cut across all sectors and have been
addressed in the relevant sectors.
Urban Environment
Mission statement: Nagpur to be developed as an environmentally sustainable city
Conserve Environmental resources

o Identification of sources and points of pollution
o The protection of water bodies, lakes and open spaces from further encroachments shall be
carried out in a co-ordinated way. The rivers/ lakes/ tanks/ nallahs should be clearly marked
and notified to prevent further encroachment.
o Tree census should be carried out annually and appropriate roadside plantations should be
encouraged in all areas. Plantation of trees must be encouraged through schools, NGOs and
by undertaking tree plantation drives.
o The Development Plan must identify bio-diversity areas/ corridors and make reservations for
them appropriately.
o Water harvesting and soil conservation must be emphasized.
o Vacant plots must be identified and it must be ensured that there is an open space in every
society. This plot must be developed and maintained by the concerned authority.
o Eco-friendly building concept should be promoted and corresponding policy and incentives
must be in place.
o Special budgetary provision must be made in annual budget for environment as planned
activity to implement and monitor the recommendations of annual environmental status
report. Environmental impact assessment study should be carried out for all the major
projects.
Increase water holding capacity of the water bodies

o De-silting shall be carried out to increase the water holding capacity and to remove the toxic
and hazardous materials that reached the lake/ riverbeds.
o Hydraulic capacity of the nallahs and water bodies must be improved through construction,
widening and deepening of sidewalls.
o Develop surroundings for recreation purpose and stop further flow of wastewater into the
water bodies.
Air pollution must be controlled

o Public transport must be strengthened in order to discourage usage of vehicles.
o Vehicle free zones must be declared. Especially in the old city congested areas, to ensure
conservation of heritage structures, motorised vehicles should be avoided on select roads.
o There should be synchronization of traffic signals so that the waiting time is reduced.
o Strict enforcement of pollution norms must be ensured.
Air Quality Monitoring

o A framework for air pollution monitoring and management needs to be in place.
o At least 10 air quality monitoring stations shall be set up by NMC/ MPCB at select locations
in the city (at busy junctions and near industrial estates) and main parameters such as CO and
HC shall be monitored as per the guidelines.
o It is imperative to establish a database on air quality indicators and initiate research on health
effects of particulate matter. The database shall include sources and emission concentrations
and identify non-scheduled industrial and commercial premises in the city with air pollution
potential to develop emission reduction strategies.
Control Noise Pollution

o A Db meter must be placed in prime areas to bring awareness amongst the citizens about the
degree of noise pollution.
o In zones declared as silence zones, strict action must be taken against non-compliance.
Reduce waste generation

o This can be made possible through awareness creation and eliciting active community
involvement in source segregation practices. The NMC shall take a pro-active role in
sensitising the communities on waste minimisation through a robust awareness campaign and
education with support of NGOs and other agencies.
o Incentives and awards should be announced for the most active citizens/ colonies.
o Vermi-composting must be encouraged and it must be made compulsory in newly constructed
buildings, institutional premises, government buildings etc.
Create awareness about environment conservation measures

o Bring awareness through school children and usage of local TV channels and newspapers.
o NMC can organise workshops giving demonstrations of water saving measures, waste
reducing and composting techniques.
Development of garden, open spaces

o Develop and maintain gardens at different neighbourhood levels
o Encourage citizens’ contribution towards maintenance of neighbourhood parks
Project and Investment for Urban Environment:

Investments and projects for environment improvement are suggested as part of the following sectors:
Drainage and River Improvement
Slums
Projects Proposed as part of Traffic and Transportation will also improve environment by
reducing vehicular pollution.
Urban Poor and Slums

Mission statement: Nagpur should become a slum free city in the next decade
Identification and notification of slums

o Lastly, a large proportion of the notified slums in Nagpur are well-developed residential areas
and not merely jhuggi jhopdi clusters. Such slums should be de-notified and brought under
the tax net. This would not only add to the corporation’s revenue but also allow focus of
funds on priority areas.
The decision making for prioritisation of projects for slums shall be gradually shifted from the
NMC to the grass roots level. NMC will play the role of facilitator and financer.
o Allocate funds for slum improvement from its won budget and various other state/ central
government schemes.
o Identify the slums and announce the budgeted amount.
Accommodation for the urban poor

o Rehabilitation must be done in low rise buildings
o Dormitories need to be created for construction workers and other types of labour
o Housing colony can be established for people with assured income. e.g. servants colony
o While declaring zones as industrial, provide reserve lands for EWS/ LIG in these areas as
workers are bound to come there
Slum Networking
o Slum networking would involve mapping and integrating slum locations and the natural
drainage paths of the town with the parks, playgrounds etc. to form a continuous network of
green corridor. The approach is to help build infrastructure in an economical way and also
target the environmental improvement of the surroundings.
o The slum dwellers must be involved in the cleanliness drive.
Awareness among beneficiaries towards project implementation

o Make beneficiaries partners in their own development works and implementation Encourage
beneficiary contribution in order to ensure responsibility and ownership of the new housing
by the dwellers
o Hold frequent meetings of the slum dwellers along with the NMC officials (ward officer)
wherein the beneficiaries can give their contribution to project development and also take the
responsibility of implementing these projects
o The beneficiaries should be educated on the project, which is being planned in their
neighbourhood, so that they can better monitor the project.
o Prioritising of projects and project implementations with active participation from
beneficiaries right from the planning stage.
o Social audit conducted through the formation of Vigilance committees. Form groups among
the beneficiaries and involve them in the implementation of the projects.
o Educate them on the importance of proper sanitation, pucca housing and education for
children.
Project and Investment for Slums and Urban Poor: Total investment Rs.500 crores

o Public transport to be cost effective to increase the patronage
o Timely and efficient accessibility must be provided by the public transport system especially
in the old city areas in order to discourage usage of private vehicles
o Explore the feasibility of MRTS - NMC/ MSRTC must prepare a framework for the same and
a consultant must be appointed to suggest ways and means to achieve it. The BRTS must be
implemented in consultation with the citizens.
Prepare a DPR in comprehensive manner to include BRTS, road widening, parking facilities etc
o Prepare a comprehensive and scientific traffic plan for the city
o Hawker zones must be created and continuous efforts must be made by the NMC to avoid
encroachments
o Re-planning of the old bazaars in order to bring about efficient utilization of space
Efficient and scientific traffic management

o Discourage private vehicle usage and other measures to improve traffic management
o Implement computerized signalling for better traffic management
o Augmentation of traffic police
o Traffic Calming Measures
o Establishment of cycling networks and pedestrian paths
o The footpaths must be wide and walkable
o It must be ensured that at least 60 per cent of the roads must have footpaths (i.e. roads 20 feet

Mission Statement: Gateway to the tiger country
The stakeholders feel that it should not only act as an entry point to Vidarbha region with great
tourism potential, but also be seen as a tourism destination itself.
NMC should prepare a heritage conservation plan.

o Listing and documentation about artefacts, structures, buildings etc. and the list should be
updated on a continuous basis.
o Based on the criteria defined by the heritage committee, precinct and heritage zone would be
identified and planned for.
o To retain the character of these heritage zones and precincts, separate byelaws and regulations
would need to be prepared for each of them. These need to be integrated in the city’s overall
development plan with respect to zoning and building regulations.
Ensure a sense of ownership of the heritage structures among various stakeholders

o There should be increased interaction with the heritage structure owners.
o NMC should create awareness amongst the people and organize heritage walks and tours.
o It should reach out to private entrepreneurs for these activities.
o There is a need to create a separate fund for these conservation activities from the budgetary
allocations of NMC.

Medical and educational infrastructure

Strategies and action plan
The future steps towards improvement in the health care facilities should be based on following
principles:
o Shift from target oriented to community oriented approach
o Participatory planning in medical care
o Emphasis on quality health care and client satisfaction.
o Emphasis on preventive health care measures
Eradication of preventable diseases by 2011

o Supply of good quality drinking water
o Strict control and supervision of hotels roadside food vendors is necessary.

o Control of Stray / Street Dogs is very essential to prevent infection of Rabies.
o Total Vaccination of the population as per WHO schedule should be completed by 2011
Consultancy medical advice should be available by way of Internet to all the population.
Making Nagpur a medical services hub

o City should have convention centre for conducting major medical conferences and for
providing health care to the population.
o Government should encourage multi-speciality hospitals.
o NMC should provide concessions in the form of affordable cost land, exemption of octroi on
equipment & medicine, subsidy on water rates and taxes, etc.
Reform plans

Prioritization workshop
Priority A
Inner city/ core areas revitalization
Identify land in the peripheral areas and provide connectivity and other
infrastructure
Decongesting the core areas through selective relocation of commercial and
trading activities
Building Regulation policies to be framed to encourage decongestion of the
core areas through building norms, FSI norms & incentives, parking norms
Discourage development in critical, ecologically sensitive areas
Critical locations with respect to environmental sensitivity need to be identified and
demarcated by the town-planning department.
Private land owners within large masses of green spaces within the municipal limits
like PKV, NEERI, VNIT etc. must be involved in the planning process
Special DCR need to be made applicable to these areas to restrict any encroachments
and unauthorized developments.
1
Priority B
Develop CBDs in other parts of city
The assessment with respect to the current land use indicates that there is
still scope for commercial activity. This however shall be dispersed and
more business districts should be developed which will decongest and
reduce load on the core city areas.
Peripheral areas’ (metropolitan regions) development needs focus and

integration with transportation networks through coordinated efforts
from NMC and NIT
The potential development areas in the peripheral areas need to be linked
through an efficient arterial structure within /outside the city. These would
provide alternatives to these areas bypassing the core of the city resulting
in decongesting the core. The arterial structure is proposed in such a way
that it will take care of future vehicular growth. Thus NMC shall undertake
an exercise to widen these roads and connect the missing links.
Provision of adequate land for transportation corridors, transportation hubs
and network to provide safe efficient and affordable mobility.
Priority C
Compatibility of land uses
Educational institutions/ work places and residential areas being located in
opposite directions generate traffic demand, which could otherwise be
avoided if land use was compatible. The DP, which is due in 2007 needs to
address this issue as availability of land is not a constraint.
In selected areas, where the carrying capacity still exists, the concept of
paid FSI must be explored. The contractor must be given extra FSI with
extra payment.
Carry out study to identify corridors where densification is possible. NMC
must calculate the carrying capacity of various areas on the basis of certain
indicators, for example the water source, eco-sensitivity, cultural or heritage
significance etc.
Facilitate housing for slum population and transit shelters for the EWS/
LIG migrant population
Encourage builders, developers to develop mass housing under incentives.
These aspects will need to be taken into account in the new Development
Plan to be prepared.

Mission Statement
Nagpur should be a city having vibrant

economy with environment opportunities and
infrastructure to support high standards and
good quality of life
1
Key Observations
Maximum respondents belong to 25-44 age group –
more than 50%; and their reactions need to be
analyzed in a focused manner separately
One of the reasons for leaving the city is better jobs
(88%) and not lack of jobs - higher remunerative
jobs should be the focus
Multiple agencies are involved in economic
development
Eco Devt has to be synchronized with the development of
the region and the State
NMC’s role in bringing economic development is minimum
being a local body
Administrative reforms and proper co ordination of various
agencies concerned with economic development
Clean and green industries

IT Sector A
Readymade garments and textiles B
Food and agro-processing C
Power supply should be improved to develop

these industries
2
Service sector
Warehouses and cold storage - A
Transportation and logistics hub - A
International convention centre - B
Business and trade parks – B
Multiplexes, casinos, pubs for improvement of night
life – B

3rd Stakeholders’ Workshop
On JNNURM for NAGPUR

At
VANAMATI, Nagpur On 12th March 2006
Presentation by
Group V
on
Urban Environment, Gardens & Lakes
VISION
An ‘Autonomous City’, that would facilitate the highest ‘Quality of
Life’ possible. Such a city would be amongst the most liveable in the
country. This would be possible if the principles of ‘Sustainability’ are
adopted as benchmarks for policy-making.
An Autonomous City would be one that would be, as far as possible,

self sufficient in so far as meeting its basic needs like water, energy
and food.
A ‘Liveable City’ would be one that would score high on parameters
such as peace & harmony amongst communities, Urban Air Quality,
safe and sufficient water, safe roads, efficient public transport, quality
education, quality health services, employment opportunities,
affordable housing, recreation facilities, cultural development,
conservation of heritage and preservation of bio-diversity.
A ‘Sustainable City’ would be one that would meet the above present
needs without compromising the ability of the future generations to
meet their own needs.
1
The UN-HABITAT in its document on ‘Sustainable City
Programme’ (SCP) states that:
Sustainable Cities are fundamental to social and economic
development; they are engines of growth
Environmental degradation adversely affects economic efficiency
and social equity, and hence obstructs the development
contribution of cities
Environmental degradation is not inevitable; what is required is a
pro-active management approach built on an understanding of the
complex interactions between development and environment.
Thus, development initiatives under all the sectors identified for
JNNURM, namely, Slums & Urban Poor; Roads, Traffic &
Transportation; Water Supply; Sewerage; Solid Waste
Management; Storm Water Drainage; Development Planning;
Urban Governance and Culture, Heritage & Tourism are bound to
have an impact on the Urban Environment.
This presentation aims to set priorities for development

initiatives vis-a-vis the above sectors with the objective of
ensuring that principles of sustainability are adhered to.
I
Land Use Planning & Housing
Priority 1: Nagpur Region Peripheral Plan:
An area of 3720 Sq. Km. is covered under the Plan of which phase I
covers 1520 Sq. Km. in a 12 Km. wide girdle around Nagpur City.
The area of the Plan covers 60% of Nagpur District. The enormity
of this Plan and its impact on the city becomes clear when
compared with the area of the city, which is presently only 235
Sq.Km. within Municipal Limits.
The State Govt. has designated NIT as the Planning Authority for
this Plan. Of the Plan, an area of 875 Ha. (less than 1 Sq. Km.), by
the name ‘Besa Beltarodi Improvement Scheme South – 1’, has
been outsourced for planning to a Hyderabad based consultant
and a plan, formulation of which has not undergone any of the
public participation processes, (as in JNNURM), is put before the
public. The last day for receiving suggestions/objections is 1st
April 2006.
2
I: Land Use Planning & Housing
Priority 1: Nagpur Region Peripheral Plan
Sector I: Land Use Planning & Housing

ACTION
The 74th Amendment to the Constitution of India stipulates
formation of District Planning Committees (DPCs),
Metropolitan Planning Committees (MPCs), Local Self-
Govt. Planning Bodies and Ward Committees. In the DPCs
and MPCs it is provided that elected representatives of all
towns and villages will be represented.
This planning is being carried out by the NIT in a
piecemeal manner and in contravention of the above
stipulations. This approach cannot address planning issues
of any of the above sectors, let alone holistic issues
pertaining to Urban Environment. Development in these
peripheral areas is bound to impact the City’s development.
The City’s future options are thereby being closed.
IF THE FORMATION OF THE ABOVE PLANNING
COMMITTEES IS NOT ADDRESSED AT THIS STAGE OF
JNNURM, POSITIVE GAINS OUT OF THE CDP EXERCISE
WOULD BE NEGATED.

Priority 2: Land use Planning at City Level:

The Development Plan (DP) of Nagpur will come up
for revision in five years’ time (2011).

Priority 3: Biodiversity Corridor / Urban Forestry:
The Natural Biodiversity Corridors within the City run along the
streams of Nag, Pili and Pohra Rivers; along Hill Chains like
Hazari Pahad, Starky Point Hillock, Seminary Hills, Sitabuldi Hill,
LIT/Ramnagar Hills which are an extension of the Mahadagarh
Hills of the Satpura Ranges. Urban Forests in Nagpur are located
along catchments of lakes along western periphery of the City.
Growth of the City should not result into breaking of the natural
biodiversity corridors which extend beyond the city.
ACTION
Sections of the corridor that are not presently reserved, and due to
which the corridors are broken at places, should now be reserved.
This will facilitate transfer of gene pool & maintenance of
ecosystems (full range of Flora and Fauna). Stewardship of Urban
Forests not only adds aesthetic value and wildlife habitat to the
City, it also enhances the ability to absorb air pollutants, including
particulate matter, ground level ozone and CO2. The responsibility
of reservation of biodiversity corridors at regional level will be of
the MPCs and at City level with the NMC.

Priority 4: Reservation for Hospitals Sites:
The large number of small hospitals scattered all over the city,
predominantly in densely populated residential areas constitute a
health hazard.
ACTION
Earmark sites in the DP for larger hospitals, which on account of
their scale of operation and management will provide better health
care. This would also prevent mushrooming of small hospitals in
residential areas.
Priority 5: Pedestrianization of commercial areas:
Vehicular traffic through existing commercial areas is one of the
main causes for traffic congestion / bottlenecks.
ACTION
Commercial areas such as Sitabuldi, Dharampeth, Sadar, Mahal,
Itwari should have areas reserved for ‘only pedestrian’ and ‘non-
motorised’ transport. Motorised access to commercial areas should
be permitted only up to their periphery with provision of parking
areas. This will make shopping a truly pleasurable experience and
a safe one at that.
6
Priority 6: Develop Land Use Plans that Accommodate
Lifestyle and Business Opportunities:
Central Business Districts (CBDs):
These are catalysts for commercial growth and cultural
opportunities.
ACTION
Reservations for CBD sites across the city should be made. These
reservations should include offices, pedestrian malls, shopping
areas, theatres, exhibition halls and spaces, convention centres, art
galleries, restaurants, public plazas and landscaping. In addition
to making reservations, Urban Design principles should be
applied for designing CBD areas.
Informal business activities:
Hawking is a legitimate business activity, a need and indeed a part
of our culture.
ACTION
Hawking occurs where people congregate and where people shop.
‘Hawking Zones’ that are not contextual do not succeed.
Therefore, spaces should be reserved / designed for hawking
where people congregate / shop.

Priority 7: Greenways in existing and new areas:
Greenways are paths designed for pedestrians and cyclists that
enhance the walking and riding experience and provide different
ways to move at neighbourhood and city level. The Draft National
Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) states that “A separate fund
would be created to support the construction of cycle tracks
and pedestrian paths in all million-plus cities by way of 50%
of the costs being financed by the Central Govt. As a first
step, the construction of 50 Kms of cycle tracks in all
million-plus cities and 100 Kms of such tracks in three
million-plus cities would be supported.”
ACTION
Existing roads, open spaces, proposed roads and
biodiversity corridors should be designed to accommodate
greenways. Appropriate reservations and regulations should
be made in the DP. The offer of the Central Government for
assistance should be availed.
7
Priority 8: Maharashtra Gunthewari Developments
(Regularisation, Upgradation and Control) Act, 2001:
This Act came into force in the same year that the DP of Nagpur
was sanctioned. Implementing Authority for the Act is NIT. The
NIT has formed a ‘Deletions Committee’ to recommend deletions
reservations. About 50% of the reservations in the DP have been
deleted so far. The number of deletions in Nagpur on account of
implementation of this Act is the maximum in Maharashtra. As a
result of this, the DP which is in force upto 2011 has been reduced
to a mere “coloured poster”. The extent of adverse effect of this on
the urban environment would be significant. The continuation of
this situation has serious consequences for the CDP process in
progress under JNNURM.
ACTION
In light of the Nagpur experience, the areas of conflict between
the ‘Gunthewari Act 2001’ and the provisions of ‘MRTP Act 1966’
should be reviewed so that all the loopholes being used to delete
the reservations are plugged. The extent of adverse effect of this on
the environment needs to be studied.
Priority 9: Housing: Efficient use of land
Land is a non-renewable resource. Plotted residential

development creates marginal spaces around the houses that have
limited use but at the same time consume about 2/3rd plot area.
These marginal spaces are neither good enough for planting trees
nor for parking.
ACTION
The Development Control Rules (DCR) should be revised to

encourage row houses / courtyard houses with common-wall
construction. This will result in low-rise high-density housing as
envisaged by the Planning Commission. The plots should be
preferably arranged around a cul-de-sac.
8
Priority 10: Housing

Eco-efficiency principles for new buildings and
housing:
Efficient use of energy is no longer a matter of choice.
Buildings will have to adhere to standard rating for resource
and energy consumption. Some standards have been
established in the Western World (LEED- Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) – an industry standard
for designing and constructing ‘Green Buildings’ and
elements.
ACTION
Evolve, adopt and enforce standards for Green Buildings relevant
to our context. These standards should become a part of the
Development Control Regulations.
Priority 11: Mixed-Use Neighbourhood Planning
Segregation of community facilities and other amenities

such as goods and services, commercial and recreational,
child-care facilities from residential areas is unsustainable.
Traditionally mixed-use has been the norm because it is
much more efficient and sustainable. Mixed-use allows:
Better use of infrastructure
Safer neighbourhood (even in the night)
More opportunities for better architecture and urban design
Better access to goods and services within walking distance
ACTION
Identify areas in existing development where mixed-use planning
can be implemented. Necessary changes in the DCR can be made
for such areas as well as for new development.
9
II
Slums & Urban Poor
Priority 1: 40% of the City’s population lives in slums
Slums come up in areas where land is of low market value or is free
(up for grabs). Therefore availability of free lands is an essential
feature of slums. Such ‘free’ lands are usually the hillsides, lake
beds/catchments, reserved open spaces, flood-prone river banks
and such other environmentally sensitive areas.
The presence of 8 lakh population of the City in slums therefore
has a significant impact on the urban environment. In addition to
unplanned occupation of environmentally sensitive areas, slums
are characterised by poor infrastructure and waste-management
systems which degrade the area.
ACTION
A site specific approach is needed to demarcate those areas where
no development (slums or any other) can be permitted. If slums
exist on some of these eco-sensitive areas, they should be shifted.
In other slums, patta rights, plot-reconstitution, infrastructure,
amenities, etc. & such case specific measures should be taken up.
II: Slums & Urban Poor

Priority 2: SRA is in the offing for up-grading slums:
People living in slums provide several essential services which are
cheap. Almost all of slum-dwellers are initially migrants who
cannot afford to pay for land when putting up their first shelters.
After a while their lot is better but then they are reluctant to leave
the free land. The City never provides / allocates land in the
planning process for such migrant families for a transit period.
The SRA approach would result, in the long run, in permanent
damage to the environment. It would also create high-rise high-
density low grade development, which will:
a) be a non-reversible development likely to cause permanent
damage to eco-sensitive areas
b) be prone to degeneration into a slum due to the low-grade
development and poor maintenance. Such a situation will
worsen into a ‘Mumbai Chawl’ like catastrophic situation.
c) All that the SRA will achieve is replace the unsightly look of
present-day shanty-towns with concrete structures that will
initially create an impression that things are in order.
10
II: Slums & Urban Poor
ACTION
Ensure that a portion of the housing stock serves lower-income
needs by making provision for lease of city-owned land for non-
market housing.
This should be evenly spread over the city and preferably be a part
of the suggested mixed-use neighbourhood planning. Such a
development should be low-rise high-density.
During slum relocation and up-gradation programmes, transit

accommodation in semi-permanent shelters should be made
available. Land should be made available for such camps.
Long-term case specific critical assessment of each proposal under

SRA is necessary to prevent environmental degradation and
catastrophes in the future. Necessary amendments / guidelines
should be incorporated into the SRA proposals to achieve the
above model of development.
III
Transportatation
Priority 1: Urban Transport Policy
The prime objective of an urban transport policy is to ensure easily
accessible, safe, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable
mobility for all. To achieve this, a four-pronged approach will have
to be adopted:
reduce the existing levels of congestion.
reduce the impact of motor vehicles on air pollution
improve road safety, and
foster the use of sustainable technologies that minimise the
consumption of imported fuels in urban transport and thus
preserve the country’s energy security.
Source: Draft National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP)
ACTION
Prepare a Urban Transport Policy for Nagpur City in line with the
Draft National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP). Without such a
policy in place, it will be a mistake, and a costly one at that, to go
ahead with projects.
11
III: Transportation
Priority 2: Public versus Personal Transport:
Type of Vehicle Av. Pass/ Pollution Congestion
vehicle in gm/ effect in
pass-km PCU*/pass
2 stroke 2 wheeler petrol engine 2 7.13 0.375
4 stroke 2 wheeler petrol engine 2 4.76 0.375
Car (catalytic converter petrol eng) 4 0.93 0.25
Bus with Diesel Engine 40 1.00 0.075
*PCU = Passenger Car Unit where 1 car = 1PCU, 1bus = 2.5 PCU, 1 scooter = 0.75 PCU etc.
This table shows that though cars and buses have about the same
pollution effects on a per passenger basis, buses have the advantage of
occupying far less road space. On the other, two wheelers not only have
a far more damaging effect on the environment than cars and buses, but
are also undesirable from a congestion point of view. With 84% of
Nagpur’s vehicular population as 2 wheelers, this is a serious area of
concern. Hence among the above modes of transport, buses are clearly
the most desirable.
It is in the above background that doubts have been expressed on the
wisdom of building flyovers or widening city roads to resolve the
problem of gridlock on a long-term basis. Though such investments
help in easing traffic flow in the short-term, congestion resurfaces at a
higher volume. This results in re-emergence of congestion at an even
higher level of traffic. Source: Draft National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP)
III: Transportation
Priority 2: Public versus Personal Transport
ACTION
Invest in improving public transport rather than in adding to road
capacity through building flyovers or widening roads. However, while
increasing the number of buses from 200 to 800 in the City, first plan
and implement bus lanes and bus bays.
Restructure State Transport Corporation (STC) to provide common
services such as depots and terminals and similar other services that
cannot be provided by the private operators. These operations should
be closely regulated by the STC through well structured contracts.
Adopt measures that restrain the use of motor vehicles through
market mechanisms such a higher fuel taxes, higher parking fees,
reduce availability of parking space, longer time taken in travelling by
personal vehicles vis-à-vis public transport.
Choice of Auto Fuels: Alternatives to petroleum based fuels are
emerging. CNG has been adopted in a big way for bus transport in
Delhi. Electric trolley buses are also being proposed. Electric two
wheelers and cycles are also under development. It is necessary that
cleaner technologies are encouraged and adopted in the City so that
the problem of vehicular pollution can be more effectively dealt with.
12
III: Transportation
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a part of public transport. Network
of equipped ambulances with common access number should be
operated by the State.
Priority 3: Non-Motorised Transport:

Non-motorised transport are environment friendly and have to be
given due share in the transportation system of the City. The
problems being faced by them would have to be mitigated as part
of an urban transport policy.
ACTION
Segregate right of way for pedestrians, bicycles, rickshaws and
hand carts. This will help improve traffic flow, increase the average
speed of traffic, reduce accidents and reduce emissions. 50% of the
funds for providing cycle tracks in 30 lakh-plus cities for upto 100
kms of such tracks is being supported by the Central Government.
10 % of the country’s population is disabled. Due to lack of access
in public places this population is largely confined to their houses
and therefore ‘invisible’. The Persons With Disabilities Act, 1995
stipulates making our cities barrier free. The segregated right of
way, roads and public transport should be disabled friendly.

#Nagpur Municipal Corporation, @Nagpur Traffic Police
The three ‘E’s of Road Safety are road Engineering, Enforcement, and
Education. It is imperative that the road engineering should be of the
highest order and in conformity with NHAI / BRO / IRC / CRRI /
MERI / MOST norms as applicable. It is a fact that road accidents in
Nagpur have increased post IRDP. This is attributable to badly
engineered IRDP roads. The recommendations of the Upa-Lokayukta
U/S 12(1) of the Mah Lokayukta and Upalokayukta Act, 1971, dated
06.03.2004 pertaining to the IRDP works undertaken at Nagpur dwells
upon the aspect of badly engineered IRDP roads.
13
IV: Roads
Enforcement becomes near impossible in the face of badly
engineered roads. Limitations of enforcement in such a scenario
cannot be overcome by increasing number of traffic personnel.
Education is a continuing process, the importance of which
cannot be overstated. However, as in the case of enforcement,
education must be supported by correct road design and
engineering.
ACTION
The NMC / NIT / MSRDC and other agencies have still not
implemented the recommendations of the Upa-Lokayukta U/S
12(1) of the Mah Lokayukta and Upalokayukta Act, 1971, dated
06.03.2004 and 14.10.2004 pertaining to the IRDP works
undertaken at Nagpur. As the recommendations deal with
rectifying the mistakes, the implementation of the
recommendations will go a long way in increasing road safety in
the City.
IV: Roads
ACTION
Recommendation No. 6 of the Upa-Lokayukta regarding IRDP:
“In the light of the experience gained in the implementation of the
project, Government in PWD/MSRDC are both advised that
further road works, as part of the IRDP through local bodies
including the Corporation should not be taken up unless a clear
Certificate is given jointly by the highest technical officer in that
local body and the Municipal Commissioner that they have
carefully appraised the availability of the supervisory staff or the
alternative supervisory mechanism in place (PMC for instance)
and are fully satisfied that the supervisory staff is capable of
adequate supervision over the projects to be executed. This
certificate must be countersigned by the Jt. MD of the MSRDC
who holds a rank of the Secretary, PWD. Unless this is done, no
new works should be allowed through this route.”
The spirit behind this recommendation is that roads should be
well designed and executed. Since these recommendations were
clearly directed at the local bodies in Nagpur, they apply to
projects to be taken under JNNURM and Nagpur CDP.

V
Water Supply, Sewerage & Drainage
Priority 1: Revival of Reservoirs, Wells for water supply:
The people created nine out of the ten major tanks in the city, and
only one, Lendi Talao was a totally natural water body. Today it is
believed that large water sources tapped quite some distance away
can only supply requirements of large cities and that one can
afford to neglect local water sources. This mindset has already
resulted in serious damage to water bodies in the urban areas.
This is a great loss to the community, because together with non-
use of available water, the cultural, recreational, economic,
microclimatic, ecological, religious, bio-diversity and town
planning significance of lakes and tanks is also compromised.
Source: Nagpur Biodiversity Strategy & Action Plan by VNHS Centre for MoEF.
ACTION
Ambazari & Gorewada used to provide 14 & 16 MLD of water
respectively. Rest of the lakes and tanks, namely, Telangkhedi,
Sonegaon, Sakkardara, Pardi, Jumma Tank, Pandharabodi, Naik
Lendi and Dob Talao can provide another 50 MLD. Another 40
MLD could be generated from open wells. Thus, 120 MLD or
more than 20% of the City’s water needs could be met from within.

Priority 2: Reservoirs: Allahabad High Court Ruling
Priority 3: Pollution abatement of rivers & reservoirs

The average consumption of potable water per person per day is
not more than 40 litres out of 135 litres supplied. 3/4th of the
water consumption per person per day literally goes down the
drain. Ironically, this treated water when discharged through the
sewerage system itself becomes a cause for pollution. This 370
MLD flows back through sewerage lines into river streams &
reservoirs sounding the death-knell of Nag, Pili and Pohra
Rivers.
Priority 4: 100% treatment of sewage

Less than 30% of the sewerage generated in the City is treated.
The centralised technology (STPs) in vogue has proved to be
ineffective not only all over the country but all over the world.
The need is to implement de-centralised systems that are
manageable, cost effective and environment friendly.
16
V: Water Supply & Sewerage
ACTION
For effective pollution abatement in river streams and reservoirs in
the City, it would be necessary to treat the sewage by a 2-stage
decentralised method rather than by conventional centralised
sewage treatment plants. In this method it is proposed to first
partially treat the sewerage in Sewage Reactors (improved version
of septic tanks with increased number of baffles). The effluent from
the houses would then flow through the existing sewer network
into ETPs located across the City.
Where possible reed beds and polishing ponds could also be
created for secondary and tertiary treatment.
This treated water of a non-potable reusable grade could be re-
distributed through a dual-line system for re-use. Remainder of this
treated water can be discharged into the river streams. Not only
will this result in effective pollution abatement but would also
revive the rivers; while at the same time the City’s dependence on
outside sources of water would be reduced.
VI
Priority 1: Segregation and reuse of solid waste:
The segregation of Solid Waste and its reuse is a matter of
bringing about attitudinal change in stakeholders including Civic
Authorities to accept greater responsibility for waste minimization
and management.
ACTION
The Civic Exnora of Tamilnadu is a successful Model that can be
replicated. The waste is pre-segregated by each household. A
person in uniform, gloves and shoes collects the garbage. Organic
waste is collected into the green bin of the cart and recyclable
waste into the red. At the ‘Zero-waste centre’ located in the
neighbourhood, the organic waste is converted into compost. The
recyclables and the compost are sold. A charge of Rs. 20/- is
collected from each household. This system covers 40% of
Chennai and 75% of its suburbs. Exnora was recognised by the
UN conference on Human Settlements in 1996 among the 100
Best Urban Practises. For further details on how the system works
one can get in touch with exnora@vsnl.com or 044-8153377.
17
VI: Solid Waste Management & Renewable Energy
Priority 2: Utilization of Landfill for energy generation
Methane gas captured from landfills is used to generate
electricity. Methane is created when garbage breaks down in a
landfill. The electricity is sold. Additionally, the utilization of
methane in this manner reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
ACTION
Explore the possibility of producing energy through Landfill Gas
Utilization Project.
Sector VII: Renewable (Solar) Energy Applications at City Level
Priority 1: Refuse electric supply to hoardings
As per the reports published, governments in Italy and France
have refused to supply electricity for hoardings. The respective
companies intending to put hoardings are asked to generate
energy by using solar systems. Such a method can be easily and
effectively implemented in our City too.
ACTION
In addition to hoardings, the same principle can be applied in the
City for lighting of roads, parks and playgrounds which would
reduce the energy bill of NMC.

STRATEGY AND ACTION

AREAS
1
Priority A
Reduce transmission and distribution losses

Conduct a leak detection study and reduce the UFW
Conduct a study to check the quality of water being supplied
Conduct an energy audit
