has good economic base of trade &
commerce, transportation activity,
agriculture products etc
Soil of surrounding area has a good fertility
property
Narsinghpur temple is one of the important
features of the town and narmada zarna
kund is the most amazing place to visit. A
mela is organized every year on the day
of makarsankranti.
Availability of river water
Average rainfall in the region is 1105.2
mm which is good enough for summer
crops
Healthy condition of commercial market
based on agricultural products like
soyabean, chana and wheat, sugarcane,
pulse etc.
Good connectivity of town by roads and
railways to other major cities of the state.
Preparation of city development plan
Absence of major industrial units
More dependency on agricultural activities,
constrains the development of agriculture sector
No major agro based industry situated in town
Unconstructive investor perception due to lack
of development approach
High dependency on grants and subsidies.
Imbalance work participation ratio
Inadequate physical and social infrastructure
facilities
No garden or openspace or picnic spot exist in
the town where the people can go and enjoy
Lack of facilities in bus stand and absence of
day shelter
No public transportation system resulting air
pollution due to large no of two and three
wheelers
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Enough opportunity to develop livestock,
rural industries to promote household
industries, trade and commerce
Favorable weather and good soil property
available for the garden products like
mango, awla, papaiya etc. And for
medicine plants like white mushli,
ashwagandha satavre, chandsur and
kalmegh. On this basis agrobased
industries can be established which will
help to generate employment
To develop narsinghpur as a centre of
education and health facilities
400 years old narsinghpur mandir and
surrounding place can be develop as a
The important constraint in making of
industrialization of town is absence of facilities
for education and communication about
technical information required before to
promote the industrialist and to establish the
industries.
City will have to face more power cutoff and
the amount of power generation is not enough
to cater the future industrial growth along with
the demand from the agriculture sector
Lacking in transportation facility can restrict
the economic growth
It is required to promote the finance agencies to
make fund available to interested industrialist
/businessmen/manufacturer group
tourist spot
To develop silk industries & pulse mills
To utilise fund at central and state level
Due to water is extracted from the tube well,
ground water level goes on decreasing
No proposals on provision of basic services
Probable deterioration in socio economic status
due lack of infrastructural facilities
Degradation of environment due to air and
water pollution.

ISSUES STRATEGIES

WATER SUPPLY
Faulty & damaged Water supply Distribution
system.
Present Per capita water supply is much below
the national standard.
No water treatment plant exists in Narsinghpur
Bring in efficiencies in system and operational
performance: A comprehensive operational
manual needs to be prepared and the Municipal
Council staff to be trained in operating the
system in a scientific manner. Undertake
ISSUES STRATEGIES
city.
Only ground water is used as a major water
supply source by extracting water from
tubewells, resulting the ground water table goes
on decreasing.
Poor cost recovery is the major policy issues to
be addressed in the immediate future.
Surface water source and distribution system are
major challenges against the need of water for
the present and future population.
Though Singri River passes through the city, it is
not utilised as a major surface water source.
Unacceptable quality of ground water.
No provision of check dam or stopdam in Sigri
River for recharging ground water table.
training and capacity building of core team.
The service has the potential to involve the
private sector in the current format to bring in
efficiency in O & M and recovery.
The water supply distribution system should be
implemented by way of systematic zoning
system to avoid cross-connections, leakage,
head loss, contamination and spare power
consumption.
Norms for the revision of water tariff should be
taken immediately add-on by awareness
programs with regard to cost recovery and
plugging of illegal connections
SEWERAGE & SANITATION
Underground drainage system for a whole town
is proposed under UIDSSMT but not
implemented yet, results water logging & over
flooding conditions in city.
De silting operations in existing drains have not
taken regularly. These drains are normally built
unplanned without considering water
consumption levels resulting in inefficient
design and working.
Ever-increasing sewerage generation due to
rapid urbanization put extra burden on existing
infrastructure.
No system coverage with a large quantum of
sewerage being allowed to flow into water
bodies.
Mixing up of sewerage and storm water is a
predominant issue in Narsinghpur.
40% of the towns area and population is
covered with septic tank.
Existing nalas which are passing through or
nearby town should be integrated and can be
used as rain water drains.
No sewage treatment plant exists in Narsinghpur
town and all waste water disposed in open,
creates health hazards and act as a mosquito
breeding place.
A Proposal for underground sewerage system
should be planned according to the topography
of the city with priority focus on the densely
populated areas and potential development
areas.
Commissioning of the underground Drainage
system along with sewerage treatment plant
should be taken up in priority. The treated water
can be utilized for cultivation.
A detailed slum sanitation program needs to
developed and implemented.
STORM WATER DRAINAGE
Road infrastructure in the city is badly affected
and damaged at several locations during
monsoons due to the unavailability of storm
water drainage networks. Desilting operation of
the natural drains are not done regularly, results
chock up of the drains.
Future population addition is expected to
increase the pressure on the drainage system of
the town, requiring Nagarpalika to stress on the
City should develop an adequate and separate
storm water drainage .
Open drains should be cleaned regularly.
ISSUES STRATEGIES
development of road networks along with that of
storm water drains.
The existing open drains are very small and use
for waste water drainage as well as storm water
drainage.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
No Storage of waste is done at source.
Domestic, Commercial and industrial waste are
thrown on the street, foot paths, drains and water
bodies.
Along with the domestic waste construction and
demolition waste are also deposited on road
sides, obstructing traffic and causing nuisance.
There is no system of primary collection.
The bins used are unhygienic and waste can be
seen more on outside the bin than inside.
Street sweeping is not done regularly. The tools
used for the sweeping are outdated and
inefficient.
No processing of waste is done and disposal of
waste is done in most unsatisfactory method and
dumped in open low lying area.
Comprehensive study for solid waste
management is required for selecting
appropriate site of disposal and system has to be
implemented for assessment of type and
quantum of waste generated.
Waste collection should ensure segregation at
source and separate management of segregated
waste. Market waste management - Vegetable
and market wastes could be separately
transported to a common facility for disposal
Bio-medical waste management-. As per the
statutory requirements, the collection and
management needs to be enhanced to ensure
proper segregated management of this category
of waste. The capacity of the existing
incinerator facility needs to be reviewed and
augmented if required to dispose all such waste
generated in the city.
Solid waste should be disposed scientifically so
not to cause health and environment hazardous.
Primary and secondary waste collection should
be modernized so as to achieve 100% waste
collection.
Throwing of solid waste on road side and
burning of solid waste should be banned by
conducting Public awareness programs
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
Lack of coordination between land use and
transportation systems.
The provision of truck terminals and arterial ring
roads/ bypasses are not planned to avoid
unwanted freight movement and parking inside
the town.
Due to railway line passes through the city at
railway crossing traffic congestion can be seen
frequently, provision of under pass near jail and
flyover near railway chowky in Tilak ward are
to be proposed for better vehicular movement.
Road side parking, encroachment by footpath
seller, loading and unloading activities on road
etc., which reduce capacity of right of way and
obstruct the traffic flow.
The proposed right of way as per the
Development plan for most of the roads is either
not available or has been encroached upon. Even
the available right of way in most roads,
Parking lot should be proposed to remove
encroachment on road.
Narrow roads should be one way so as not to
cause traffic congestion.
The provision of high mast light at every major
junction and improvement of Road junction to
rectify the problem of traffic congestion.
Municipal council should take initiative for
widening key roads in the City, which will
involve substantial encroachment removal and
land acquisition.
A study which covers all elements like Road
capacity, Surface, Bottleneck formation,
connectivity, parking allocation and
management should be taken up.
ISSUES STRATEGIES
especially in core city areas is encroached upon
by hawkers and on-street parking.
Most of the roads are without signage and other
functional elements such as pedestrian pathways,
lighting, arboriculture, road markings etc. The
riding surface of the roads is poor due to
inadequate maintenance.
Public Transport system is almost non-existent,
auto rickshaw and cycle rickshaws are the
predominant mode of public transport.
Parking plot needs to be provided in commercial
area.
Khery naka to NH-26 road, cinema road,
Shubhash chowk to Sanichara chowk, Main road
in market are required to be widened.
Major junctions need to be improved to avoid
the accidents and for smooth traffic movement.
URBAN POOR
Slow execution of present proposal of IHSDP
scheme for slum relocation.
Sluggish economic growth and inadequate
infrastructure has resulted in poverty and
development of slums.
Lack of educational facilities and health care to
improve the living standards.
Lack of basic infrastructure like roads with
reasonable width to take care of vehicular traffic
growth, insufficient water supply, poor housing
conditions, poor sanitation, absence of sewerage
system and disposal of domestic waste
water/sewage and solid waste.
Absence of public toilets and baths.
Lack of policies and proposals for their up
gradation.
Proposal of City-wide integrated slum
improvement and redevelopment program
covering housing, economic development core
civic services, health and education and other
social amenities under Central / State
Government scheme.
Promotion of initiatives by the govt/community
groups to make town slum free through
various schemes.
Discourage development of further slums by
announcing cut-off dates. Declaring the existing
status of slums. Slums developed after cut-off
dates should be demolished by framing rules
and strict enforcements.
Formation of ward level committee to
discourage the further development of slums.
Municipal Council should ensure appropriate
inclusion of slums and economically weaker
section settlements in their infrastructure
development plans.
Municipal Council needs to carry out a
comprehensive study of slum and economically
weaker section settlements to identify specific
needs and priorities.
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Provision of school access to unseen habitations
Quality of existing pre service teacher education
is underprivileged and poor quality elementary
education
Water logging problems are severe resulting into
the health hazards.
Unavailability of medical facilities and required
expertise in emergency cases.
The population of the surrounding villages also
Land having tenure of government / other
parastatal department which is available and
lying fallow should be identified and put
request to the concern department for utilising it
for public purposes.
Upgradation of existing Gardens with modern
entertaining rides, landscaping, provision of
refreshment stall etc by introducing PPP model
in Operation & Maintenance.
ISSUES STRATEGIES
depends upon the resources of civil hospital,
resulting overcrowding and inaccessibility of
proper treatment in time.
For the present population, city does not even
have a good cinema theatre of Multiplex stature,
properly landscaped gardens with childrens
play area.
In addition to the population of Narsinghpur
City, a large quantum of population in the region
around Narsinghpur depends upon the socio-
cultural facilities and recreational open spaces.
Looking to the population growth & slow down
of economic activities has resulted into the
problems like theft & robbery.
Due to unskilled staff & shortage of fund Nagar
Palika is not in position to deliver timely
services.
Introducing modern and reliable equipment and
machinery, with appropriate facilities for their
upkeep and maintenance in Fire service
Cleaning campaigning and Health checkup
programme in slum should be taken up
frequently
Leakage of water pipeline should be repaired to
stop contamination with sewerage water.

MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE
Nagar Palika is highly dependent on the grants
received from Government.
Nagar Palika is also facing problem of tax
recovery on total demand against service
provided.
The cost recovery on water supply service is
very poor, indicating the large quantum of non-
revenue water in the form of unauthorised
connections, subsidised water, etc.
Because of no permanent & planned sewerage
disposal facility, tax collection is negligible.
No billing system for collection of tax.
Due to unavailability of proper infrastructure
Nagar Palika is not in position to perform
effectively and efficiently.
Total establishment cost of Nagar Palika is quite
high against total income/revenue received from
various sources.
To tackle and control natural disaster and
critical situation citizens, community
participation & infrastructure should be made
available in the City.
Municipal Council should act & follow-up for
strict enforcement of development activities as
per development control regulations.
Municipal Council, as part of its strategy to
build in-house capacity, to train the existing
manpower resource through training programs
and workshops. Staff to be rotated inter-
department in order to promote in multi-skilling
and team building.
Municipal Council will need to formulate a
framework for promoting or facilitating PPP in
project development using various tools of
Concession or models of Build Operate
Transfer (BOT) depending upon the project
requirement.
Revision of the Annual Rateable Value at
certain levels. Maintenance of the collection
performance of taxes and charges at certain
minimum levels for current and for arrears.
Revision of water and sewerage charges at
specific intervals. Various committees should
be formed with action plans for the tax recovery
so as to improve Municipal Councils financial
condition.
Public private partnership should be encouraged
to improve infrastructural facility in financial
sustainable manner.
Incentives should be offered for timely payment
of charges against various services. Wide
publicity should be made to achieve required
recovery.
ISSUES STRATEGIES
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
No Major industrial establishment in the city.
Less employment Opportunity
Lacking in higher Education Facilities and
Health Facilities
Looking to the development of the Mandi
Market, District should be declared as an
Agricultural Economic zone
Soyabean and Sugarcane related industries
should be encouraged by new strategies and
project, so that employment opportunities can
be generated which results in economic
development of the city.
Agro based Industries, small scale industries
and household industries should be encouraged
for over all industrial development.

1. CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

1.1. CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN BASED ON JNNURM: AN OVERVIEW
With the goal of creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities City Development Plan
is prepared. A CDP is anchored on the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). As a step to
achieving this goal, the CDP focuses on the development of economic and social infrastructure, strategies that deal
specifically with issues affecting the urban poor, strengthening of municipal governments and their financial
accounting and budgeting systems and procedures, creation of structures for bringing in accountability and
transparency, and elimination of legal and other bottlenecks that have stifled the land and housing markets. It
provides a basis for cities to undertake urban sector reforms that help direct investment into city-based
infrastructure.
A City Development Plan (CDP) is both a perspective and a vision for the future development of a city. It presents
the current stage of the citys development where are we now? It sets out the directions of change where do we
want to go? It identifies the thrust areas what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also suggests
alternative routes, strategies, and interventions for bringing about the change what interventions do we make in
order to attain the vision? It provides a framework and vision within which projects need to be identified and
implemented. It establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment decisions.

1.2. UADD & ITS ROLE
Madhya Pradesh is Urbanising at a fast rate and the Urban Local Bodies of the State are facing the challenge of
meeting the requirements of the growing population with limited technical and financial resources. GoI as well as
GoMP have initiated a number of programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery.
These are GoI schemes: Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT type
funding) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP), the GoMP initiated DFID funded
MPUSP, which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the urban poor etc. Other than this there are
several programmes that have been initiated by the GoI and GoMP.

With the enactment of the 74
th
Constitution Amendment Act, major urban related tasks have been transferred to
Local Bodies. The UADD is also responsible for implementation of various public welfare schemes sponsored by
the Central and State Governments. Being the parent organization of Municipal Corporations, UADD monitors the
functioning of all municipal corporations in the state.

The City Development Plan will adhere with the JnNURMs CDP preparation toolkit and it will be as per the
required framework of UADD. The inadmissible components (Requirement of basic physical infrastructure will be
detailed out while broadly considering other social areas such as Education, Health, Livelihood etc.) will also be
included in the task. The CDP will include the Broad Master Planning of the town and will be prepared keeping in
view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by the Town and Country Planning department.
The government of Madhya Pradesh through the UA&DD has initiated the task of preparation of city development
plans for 96 towns and cities within MP. This initiative has been done in coordination with CMAMP. These CDP
documents include the growth management plan, infrastructure plans and financial management plans till 2035.
These plans are based on the toolkit and frame work adopted for JnNURM projects.

UADD has awarded SAI Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd, Ahmedabad with the task of preparing CDPs for the
selected towns of Madhya Pradesh. Narsinghpur is one among such selected town.

2. METHODOLOGY AND FRAMEWORK


2. METHODOLOGY

Preparation of a CDP is a multi-stage exercise, involving:
(i) In-depth analysis of the existing situation, covering the demographic, economic, financial, infrastructure,
physical, environmental and institutional aspects: The purpose of this stage is to review and analyse the
current status of the city with regard to the state of its development, systems and procedures, as equally its
institutional and financial context. This stage is meant to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the citys
development and to provide an understanding of what impedes service delivery and management within the
existing set-up and what contributes to better service provision. This stage offers an opportunity to bring out the
unique features of the city that may distinguish it from other cities.
(ii) Development of a perspective and a vision of the city: Using the results of the first stage of analysis combined
with consultations with key stakeholders and civil society, this stage is meant to develop a vision for the future
development a shared vision of where the city wants to be in a medium-term perspective. It is a collective
vision of the future direction expressed in terms of expectations and often even goals, such as water for all.
(iii) Formulating a strategy for bridging the gap between where the city is and where it wishes to go:
It is in this stage that strategies and interventions are identified for attaining the vision and future development
perspectives. This stage is used to first identify the options and strategies and second, to evaluate the strategies
from the perspective of their contribution to the goals and objectives of the JNNURM. The chosen strategies are
translated into programmes and projects in this stage. This is the phase where the city needs to decide which
programmes would contribute most to the vision and mediumterm perspectives. It is at this stage where criteria
are selected, with appropriate consultative processes, for prioritising the strategies, programmes and projects.
(iv) Preparing a City Investment Plan (CIP) and a financing strategy:
An investment plan and a financing strategy are an integral part of the CDP. Crucial to this stage is a plan that
considers the alternative sources of financing the vision and the accompanying strategy and programmes. The
process of formulating a CDP is illustrated in the chart (see diagram).
The CDP further elaborates on how the Municipal Councils intends to manage public finances in a modern and
transparent way; execute urban planning and governance in line with an established framework; and become more
responsive - cost and time efficient by availing of technology in its governance and service delivery processes.
Finally, the CDP reveals the Municipal Councils 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. This objectives were appraised during the various meeting held with the
Interested groups.

2.1. FRAMEWORK
The CDP outlines the strategic and investment interventions required to achieve the vision for a city including
formulation of sectoral plans for the identified sectors. The scope of CDP is to:
2.1.1. SCOPE OF WORK
Assess the existing situation with regard to demographic and economic growth, access to infrastructure
services, municipal finances etc.
Identify gaps in service delivery
Outline issues faced by the citys poor
Prepare a vision and sectoral strategic framework outlining the goals, strategies, interventions/projects to
achieve the overall vision
Formulate a city investment plan (CIP) with appropriate financing strategies and an implementation action
plan, and
Focus on the reforms to be carried out at the State and city level in consonance with the vision and strategic
plan outlined to sustain the planned interventions.

2.1.2. OBJECTIVES OF CDP
To scale up existing urban development and poverty alleviation schemes within a comprehensive and
coherent strategic planning framework in order to ensure optimal benefit from available resources for the
citizens of the concerned ULBs.
To catalyse new thinking and provoke debate through a consultative stakeholder drive process. The vision
and strategic thrusts of the CDP will be built around the lessons and finding of a comprehensive and rigorous
stakeholder consultation and documentation process.
To revitalise local economic development by attracting private sector funding.
To serve the requirements of the JnNURM, and other development schemes.
To generate specific priority actions and projects that can be the basis for mobilizing funding from diverse
sources.

2.1.3. APPROACH
Preparation of a CDP is considered essential not only for accessing GoI and IHSDP program funding but also for a
strategic framework for converging and co-ordinating various department inputs towards guiding the city on a
development path. The toolkit would provide guidance for the formulation of CDP, through a consultative strategic
planning process that is responsive to local requirements.
It will also enable elected representatives, key staff of MC departments, para statal agencies and other institutions,
policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial, social and economic development of the city. A
City development plan will present both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the MCs strategic
framework of sectoral plans translated into actions that define how the MC, together with other stakeholders, intends
to work towards achieving the long term vision in the next fifteen years. The process of planning for improved
governance and slum up gradation will form an integral part of the CDP, which has been outlined below.
Statutory City development plan will be prepared for the given plan period and the projected population
Ongoing and proposed projects, schemes announced by the govt. (UIDSSMT TYPE FUNDING TYPE
FUNDING , IHSDP etc) & their provision will be incorporated;
Review of the key reform actions and priority slums taken for infrastructure improvement if any initiated.
Study of the overall spatial planning and policy framework of Master Plan
Study of the annual municipal budgeting for understanding of the Operation and Maintenance and
sustainability of the infrastructure assets.
In-depth analysis of the existing situation covering the demographic, economic, financial, infrastructure,
physical, environmental and institutional aspects.
Identify gaps in service delivery
Outline issues faced by the citys poor
Development of a perspective and a vision of the city.
Formulating a strategy for bridging the gap between where the city is and where it wishes to go by outlining the
goals, strategies, interventions/projects to achieve the overall vision
Preparing a City investment plan (CIP) with appropriate financing strategies and an implementation action
plan.

The CDP shall clearly define how ULBs will serve its customers (businesses and citizens). For example, the CDP
shall talk about how the ULBs 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
business.
The CDP shall further elaborate on how the ULBs intends to manage public finances in a modern and transparent
way; execute urban planning and governance in line with an established framework; and become more responsive -
cost and time efficient by availing of technology in its governance and service delivery processes. Finally, the
CDP shall reveal the ULBs 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. This objective shall be appraised during the various meeting which shall be anticipated at various
stages with the stakeholders during the entire planning process.

2.1.4. PUBLIC CONSULTATION: STAKEHOLDERS MEETING, WORKSHOP
The primary objective of Public consultation in the form of stakeholders from the diverse sectors will be to discuss
various details/data collected from different sectors, present level of services, underlying issues and emerging
opportunities for understanding their perspective on town. It is important to understand their future plans by urging
them to identify challenges which the ULBs need to overcome to achieve specified vision for the city. The process
will enable elected representatives, key staff of Municipal Corporation departments, parastatal agencies and other
institutions, policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial, social and economic development of
the ULBs.

2.1.5. OUTCOMES
The CDP must take into account the integration of current initiatives, schemes and strategic framework for priority
development actions. The outcome of the CDP would be reflected in the annual plans (related to MC budgets),
infrastructure and sustainability.
This will be crucial in ensuring the O&M and sustainability of the infrastructure assets created. The CDP will be
linked into the overall spatial planning and policy framework of the existing Master Plan. It will also prepare the
ground for mobilizing funding beyond existing programmes, addressing the issues of revitalizing the local economic

and Agro Export Zones. Agri Export Zones (AEZ) has been initiated by the Government under all aspects of
efficient agriculture practice such as production, R&D, post harvest management, packaging, leading to final
exports. Further market promotion and development are also undertaken in the AEZs.
Soybean and Sugarcane related industries should be encouraged by new strategies and project, so that
employment opportunities can be generated which results in economic development of the city.
Agro based Industries, small scale industries and household industries should be encouraged for over all
industrial development.
Encouraging Contract farming: Contract farming is an emerging concept in MP that provides vast opportunities
for potential investors wherein the production and supply of agricultural/ horticultural produce are pre agreed
under forward contracts between producers/ suppliers and buyers. The contract details the type of agri
commodity required at a time and a price, and in the required quantity. Contract farming provides a proper
linkage between the farm and the market. Basic elements of Contract farming are Pre-agree price, Quality of
acreage (maximum, minimum).

It can be seen that at present about 53.14% of land is used for residential purpose followed by traffic and transportation
with 24.05%. Public and semipublic use is about 12.57%, Public Utility services is about 2.55%, recreational use is about
0.90% and Commercial and industrial use share 3.01 % and 3.81% respectively. It can be observed that because of
imbalanced land use infrastructural facility is inadequate.

Proposed land use Planning
Mix Land use adopted for Narsinghpur city so that minimum transformation of landuse is carried out. Above all there is a
proposal for shifting up the imbalanced land use to appropriate place, further it is taken care about proper coordination
between proposed development with present developed area, decentralization of work centers and future social, economic
and cultural activities.

Commercial Use
At present there is no transport nagar within the city, so that related activities are taken place haphazardly on the street,
near shops. In planning unit no 2.12 hectare of land is proposed to be allocated for transport nagar on existing by-pass.

Industrial Use
Looking to the industrial growth in the city in Planning Unit no 2 about 28 hectares of land is proposed to be allocated for
industrial estate.

Public semi public use
About 80 hectares of land is proposed for this use in development plan which 9.58% of developed land. All govt. semi
govt. institutions are proposed to be established in a single campus.

Recreational use
Under recreational use 40 hectares of land is proposed in development plan which is 4.79 % of total developed area. Old
Sagar road and river front area in Baskunwari village are proposed to be developed as a garden or green space, which
can be used as a picnic spot. Lake conservation is also proposed in development plan.

Traffic and transportation
Under which all private bus stands, taxi stand are to shifted in Madhya Pradesh state transport premises.

Shifting of Imbalanced Landuse
Looking to the asymmetry between some activities with surrounding landuse, environmental problem etc. some of the
activities have been included in imbalanced landuse, which are proposed to be relocated. They are:

According to Development Control Regulation of Development plan of 2021 for Narsinghpur, Nagar Palika offers 1
to 1.5 FSI and ground coverage of 30 to 60% for residential development based on size of plot, 0.6 to 1.25 FSI and
ground coverage of 70 to 80% for commercial development based on type of development, 0.75 to 1 FSI and ground
coverage of 33 to 60% for industrial development based on size of plot.

Pattern of Housing
Looking at the pattern of housing, it has been analyzed that most of the housing whether under various schemes or
through private developers is in the form of plotted development. Further, as per the visual survey, it was observed
that the majority of households are residential houses. Mixed use of houses that is for both residential cum
commercial use has been observed in the city.

Housing Condition
Besides looking at the housing stock in terms of growth of number of residential houses, the condition of the
housing stock has also been looked upon to qualitatively ascertain the condition of the available houses in the city.
The housing condition has been assessed based on the predominant use of materials in housing in the city and based
on the visual survey of the city which is explained below.
Predominant Use of Material in Housing:
In order to ascertain the housing condition in the Narsinghpur City, the predominant use of material for roof, wall
and floors have been analyzed. The table shown below, describes the distribution of census houses based on the
predominant use of roof material. It can be analyzed that only 42% of the houses have pucca roof i.e made of
concrete, 50% of the houses have Tiles roof, where as remaining 8% are with temporary roofing of grass, thatch,
bamboo, wood ,mud Plastic ,Polythene tiles, slate, G.I. Metal ,Asbestos sheets, Bricks etc.

From the table given below, it can be analysed that 78% of the houses in the Narsinghpur city are made of burnt
bricks i.e have pucca walls while the remaining 22% of the houses have grass, thatch, bamboo, un-burnt bricks, GI
metal, asbestos sheets, stone and plastic polythene used for the construction of walls.

Further the type of the existing housing structures were also analyzed in the Narsinghpur Municipal Council which
has been explained in the table below. It has been found that 76% of the housing structures are permanent and
remaining 23% are semi permanent in nature. Only a negligible number of 1% houses are temporary. This signifies
Semi permanent and temporary structures are having more nos. compared to other Cities.

3.9. KEY ISSUES FOR SPATIAL GROWTH
The general development control regulations are not strictly enforced. There is a rise in commercial activities
and illegal residential colonies in the city. Lacking in implementation of zoning regulations, regulating and
controlling such commercial development has resulted into haphazard growth of commercial development
undesirably mixed with residential use- in the city
There is a pressure on citys infrastructure systems from the surrounding areas that rely on the city for socio
economic as well as other services.
Non-Conformity of Land Uses with traffic and transportation pattern

3.10. CITY SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND ACTION PLAN
Municipal Council should make a conscious effort to get their development plan sanctioned by the Government. So
that they can control the city development in a phased and planned manner, adopting best practices in urban
development and planning norms.
Implementation of Development Plan Proposals to arrest indiscriminate sprawl and ensure
equitable and sustainable urban development.
Removal of unauthorized construction and strict adherence to the byelaws.

4. PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE


4. PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE - SECTORAL ANALYSIS
4.1. WATER SUPPLY
4.1.1. WATER SOURCES
At present major source of water is ground water. In a longer period ground water sources cannot be considered as a
dependable and economical source, only surface water source may be adopted for the future water supply. Presently
there are 35 tube wells and 144 hand pumps are in working condition by which Nagar Palika makes water available
to the city.
Figure 8 Singri River

As Singri river passes though the middle of the city, Nagar Palika can extract this surface water for water supply
with applying some water treatment. Even Nagar Palika has prepared a DPR on water supply under UIDSSMT
program, in which water from Singri river is proposed as a source of water. This project should be implemented as
soon as possible to overcome the burden on ground water.
Figure 9 Natural Source of Water (Schematic Diagram)

As per the report prepared on water supply scheme under the UIDSSMT for Narsinghpur
the reliable surface source of water are Narmada, Sher & Singri River. Sher river is
distributory of Narmada river situated at 5 km away from the Narsinghpur Town, can be
the major surface water source for future requirement. Narmada being the source is 18
km away from the city but it cannot be the economical source. Singri and Sher River are
considered as most reliable and economical source as it passes through the city. Canal
water can be used to recharge the Narsinh Talav as it passes 1 or 1.5 km away from the
city in the north and there is a possibility to draw water from the canal by gravity
mains only.

4.1.11. ACTION PLAN :
Sector Strategies & Investment Need
Strategy identified By Augmenting distribution system and Sher and Singri river can be
use as a source of water to reduce dependency on ground water source
and strive for equitable distribution of potable water to all through piped
supply.
Expected Outcome Assured ability to meet year 2035 demand
Total Investment Need Rs. 2384 lakhs
Long-term needs (2035)
The desired level of per capita supply is proposed at 135 lpcd as per the standards. The total quantity of Water
supply required is estimated to be in the range of 23.47 MLD against the current supply of 3.75 MLD. Accordingly,
treatment capacity and an additional elevated storage of 7.74 ML capacity is required at 33% of total Water supply
by 2035.
The total investment need for water sector by 2035 is estimated at Rs. 2384 lakhs. However the above mentioned
gaps in the system are proposed to be filled in phases in line with the quantum of population addition. Accordingly
part of the identified investment is proposed to be funded by 2015 to cater the current gaps and meet the immediate
requirements.
Priority needs (By 2015)
A sum of Rs. 911.74 lakhs (38% of total investment need in the water supply sector) is the capital cost estimation
for the proposed interventions for the augmentation of water supplies through Sher and Sigri River, improvement of
distribution network and provision of additional storage reservoirs by 2015
While the present ground water extract requires disinfection only, Narsinghpur Municipal Council proposes to have
a treatment facility for future extracts from ground water. Hence based on authentic analysis to be conducted by
ground water resources/ irrigation department on the quality of ground water and reliability, Narsinghpur Municipal
Council may act upon providing treatment facilities at an appropriate time.

4.2. SEWERAGE
4.2.1. EXISTING SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Presently there is no underground sewerage system existing in City. The sewage from households and other
commercial establishments is flowing on the open surface drains. The flow is following natural ground
topography. Finally the sewage along with storm water is flowing in the form of nallahs and ultimately
disposed off in the river water which makes water pollution. Taking 80% of water supplied as sewage,
approximately 3-4 MLD sewage is flowing into various Nallahs daily or has accumulated in the low lying
areas creating unhygienic atmosphere for the local residents.
Figure 12 Waste water Nala

The sewage from Municipal waste water is having BODs as high as 200mg/l. Thus one can easily assess the
quantum of organic load flowing every day in water course due to non existence of sewerage system in
Narsinghpur. Moreover the nuisance and health hazards may be prevented due to flow of sewage on the
surface causing contamination of ground water and posing foul conditions in the town and in low lying area.

4.2.2. MEANS OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Presently as far as the sewage disposal is concern about 40% of total residents uses soak pit/septic tank and
remaining dispose the waste water directly to the open drains. Through this drains waste water is plunked into
natural drains and finally discharged in the Sigri River creats water pollution.
Figure 13 Open Surface Drain

4.2.3. HOUSEHOLD TOILETS (DRY LATRINES AND FLUSH LATRINES)
As per census 2001 number of latrines in Narsinghpur are shown in table below

4.2.6. SANITATION PROJECTS UNDER UIDSSMT TYPES PROJECTS
Looking to the above condition, the Municipal council of Narsinghpur has prepared a detailed project report
for the Sewerage system for the next 30 years. The proposed project will enable Municipal Council to collect
the sewerage and storm water otherwise flowing on the surface and carry it to a suitable place for providing
desired treatment before the waste water finally being disposed off to river or reused for any other purposes
like irrigation or community purposes.
Providing and laying of sewer network within the town, providing of pumping facilities if necessary for
cleansing purposes along with the treatment facility will be carried out in the proposed project. However any
further extension and expansion of sewer network can be done to suit the future needs of the town.
Salient features of DPR prepared under UIDSSMT
An average flow of 80% of water supply @ 135 lpcd i.e. 108 lpcd has been adopted.
All appurtenances, conduits, channels etc has been designed for the maximum flow i.e 2.25 times
the average flow.
Sedimentation tanks have been designed on the basis of average flow, while consideration of both
maximum and minimum flow has been given importance for designing of screens and grit
chambers.
The velocity shall range within 0.6 mps to 3.0 mps.
Sewers shall be at no point of time run more than 80% full. Based on this value of v/V, q/Q and
d/D has been adopted.
Sewerage treatment: Looking to the scarcity of land availability and high land cost Facultative
Aerated Lagoon has been provided for treatment of sewage for 8.88 MLD capacities.
Cost: The total estimated cost of Narsinghpur Sewerage Project is approximately Rs. 424.70
Lacs.
Construction of chamber for House connection.
Providing and laying 140 mm diameter HDPE Pipe class PE100 PN2.5 as per IS 14333-1996
from house chamber to sewer trunk main.
4.2.7. SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths:
Public support and cooperation: demand for proper sewerage system.
Availability of land for development of treatment Plant
Weakness:
Non availability of competent expertise and technical know-how with the ULB.
Very low duration and frequency of water supply.
Lack of awareness on recycling and reuse of waste water.
No technical manpower for sewerage system operation.
Underground drainage system for a whole town is proposed under UIDSSMT but not
implemented yet, results water logging & over flooding conditions in city.
De silting operations in existing drains have not taken regularly. These drains are normally built
unplanned without considering water consumption levels resulting in inefficient design and
working.
Ever-increasing sewerage generation due to rapid urbanization put extra burden on existing
infrastructure.
No system coverage with a large quantum of sewerage being allowed to flow into water bodies.
Mixing up of sewerage and storm water is a predominant issue in Narsinghpur.
40% of the towns area and population is covered with septic tank.
Existing nalas which are passing through or nearby town should be integrated and can be used as
rain water drains.
No sewage treatment plant exists in Narsinghpur town and all waste water disposed in open,
creates health hazards and act as a mosquito breeding place.
Opportunities:
Private sector participation in the delivery of basic services.
Capital market available to undertake urban infrastructure schemes.
Threats:
Lack of willingness to charge/political will for reforms.
State policies especially related to tariffs etc. not being in place.

4.2.8. STAKEHOLDERS PERCEPTION:
Periodic desilting and cleaning of the drains is not done.
DPR for sewerage has already been prepared, early implementation of the same.
There is no public toilet on Sankal road near Bus Stop, causing inconvenience to the visitors.
Dust bins and containers are placed in the middle of the road which creates problems for the
pedestrians.

4.2.9. PROJECTS IDENTIFIED
Under Ground Drainage System covering entire city
Sewerage Treatment Plant to prevent the river water pollution and recycled water can be used for
cultivation.
Provision of Public Toilets at all public places should be provided.

4.2.11. ACTION PLAN:
Strategy Identified Capacity expansion and up gradation to UGD of the existing Open Drain
collection and conveyance system to match additional water supply and
provide for environmentally safe disposal
Expected Outcome Synchronisation with water supply capacity
Total Investment Need Rs. 4287 Lakhs
The demand-gap assessment above presented is against an assumed sewerage generation of 80% of water
supply that is 18.77 MLD by 2035. Identified investments in the sector are meant to upgrade open drain to
UGD networks in line with the proposed increase in water supply and road network, as well as refurbishments
to the existing network and augmentation of sewerage treatment plants. The system plans to cover 70% of the
population and 85% of the road network for efficient service delivery. Construction of public convenience
systems in the immediate future to cater the needs of the urban poor is also envisaged as a part of the sanitation
sector.
The total investment need for sewerage sector by 2035 is estimated at Rs. 4287 lakhs. However the above
mentioned gaps in the system are proposed to be filled in phases in line with the quantum of population
addition and augmentation of water supplies to the town. Accordingly part of the identified investment is
proposed to be funded by 2015 to cater the current gaps and meet the immediate requirements.
Priority needs (2015-16)
A sum of Rs. 2206 lakhs (51.46 % of total investment need in the sewerage sector) is proposed for sewerage
infrastructure by 2015. Priority capital investments are expected to cater the current service gap as well the
medium-term needs of the estimated population by 2025. Accordingly, 68.71 KM of sewerage network is
proposed to be put in place by 2015.
Sewerage treatment of 9.66 ML through new sewerage treatment plants (STPs) is proposed by 2015. Further,
Municipal Council will need to plan beyond 2015 for further augmentation of capacity by another 9.11 ML of
STPs and about 64.79 KM of UGD network to cater the long-term needs of 2035.

4.3. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
4.3.1. EXISTING TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION SCENARIO
Narsinghpur has a railway station, situated on National Highway no 26. By that way Narsinghpur is well
connected by rail and road way with Bhopal, Indore, Sagar, Nagpur, Raypur, Jabalpur and Alhabad. So that
intensity of traffic which is passed through the town is more.

Figure 15 Means of Transportation

Due to spatial expansion of the city a well organized and well planned traffic and transportation services is
much required. Social, Physical and economical activities of the city are depended on circulation pattern and
transportation facilities available to them.
Narsinghpur is a major centre of trade and commerce in Jabalpur region. It plays an important role in
distribution and collection of different commodities like oil, clothes, pulse, grains, and construction materials
etc. which are supplied to other cities of the state.
As per the traffic study, at Centre point and other various points, about 30% of regional traffic continuously
flowing on Jabalpur Narsinghpur and Lakhanaudan Narsinghpur National Highway no 26. Traffic
congestion and parking problems are the major constrains in growth of the city.

4.3.2. VEHICLE POPULATION
Different type of vehicles like cycle, rickshaw, auto rickshaw, scooter, car, Handcarts, tractor trolley, trucks are
used for transportation purpose. Because of mixed traffic it affects the vehicular capacity of the road.

4.3.3. AGENCIES IN TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION.
Mainly two types of transport agencies are established in the city, one type are involved in public
transportation and others are in goods transportation. There are very few buses of Madhya Pradesh road
transport co. involves in public transportation, majority buses are of private transportation agencies.

4.3.4. TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS - CIRCULATION PATTERN
In Narsinghpur circulation pattern of road is in east-west direction. Majority of city traffic is
passing through PWD Kandeli road, Kandeli outer Road, Mandi road and Cinema road.
In addition to above Jarjola road, Sankal road, NH 26, Simariya road, Umariya road and old
Sagar road connect regional traffic to outgrowth area of the city.
Continuous traffic flow can be seen on Lakhnaudan Railway crossing and Kheri Naka, which
connect core area of city along with other area.
Because of the railway line spread over on a large area, it restricts the city area and so that
different parts of the city are not connected with each other.
Because of encroachment, footpath sellers, moving shops/Laurie, parking on road, loading
and unloading activities, width of streets become narrow and it obstructs the traffic
movement.

4.3.5. PUBLIC TRANSPORT / MASS TRANSIT
BUS STAND

Figure 18 Existing/Old Bus Stand Figure 19 Site for New Bus Stand

Bus stand is located in middle of the city, creates difficulty in circulation. It has no infrastructural
facility for the travelers. Narsinghpur is a district headquarters but there no provision of day shelter in
the city where visitors can rest. A new building for bus stand is being constructed near railway station
and it should be completed and started as soon as possible. It is also very important to make allocation
of two more pickup stands.

RAILWAY STATION
Like the bus stand, the railway station is also centrally located, also the railway go down lies in the
near vicinity. There is insufficient parking place near the station creating traffic congestion.

Figure 19 Narsinghpur Railway Station

4.3.6. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION
Narsinghpur is a district headquarter and hence there is continuous flow of visitors, traffic is
continuously generated from bus stand, railway station, Shanichara bazaar, Vegetable market, main
market etc. and end at Mandi road, Bus stand and outer road.
Details of accidents occurred during 2001 to 2003 are show in table below.

Type of vehicles
Year Type of accidents

With the increase in vehicles, the accident rate in the above years have reduced, but still due to
absence of bifurcation in fast moving and slow moving vehicles, the population is vulnerable to
accidents. With increase in vehicles, the number of heavy vehicles have also risen leading to need for
separate route for their movement. Not only the road needs traffic bifurcation and widening but there
are junctions which need to improve its geometry. Due to absence of well planned junctions , blind
turnings and sharp turns , these road crossings creates havoc to traffic causing accidents, delaying
journey time and reducing easier traffic movement. Below is the list of accident prone junctions:
Bye pass junction on Magardha road.
Crossing near sunka
Society crossing near Branch school
Gulab junction
Crossing near Ram mandir
Singpur crossing
Crossing near Musran park.

4.3.7. TRANSPORT STUDY WITH EMPHASIS ON LOW COST PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND
LIVELIHOODS
There is no public transport facility in Narsinghpur city. Auto rickshaw and Paddle rickshaw are the
predominant mode of public transport within the city.
4.3.8. PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Figure 21 Parking on Road side

As far as parking facility is concerned, no separate parking facility is made available by Nagar Palika
in the city. People use to park their vehicle on the road, results in traffic congestion and narrow down
the right of way.

TRUCK TERMINAL
Narsinghpur is a major centre of trade and commerce and there are so many transport agencies in the
city. Presently there is no delineated truck parking area in the city. Though there exists large number
of transport agencies due to which there is constant truck movement in the city. Owning to this traffic
congestion and accidents are caused. Banskuwari is the most suitable place for Transport Nagar in
which such transport agencies can be shifted.

Strengths:
Good connectivity with the region- highway, railway station.
Presence of a good network of city roads.
Weaknesses:
Lack of coordination between land use and transportation systems.
The provision of truck terminals and arterial ring roads/ bypasses are not planned to avoid unwanted
freight movement and parking inside the town.
Due to railway line passes through the city at railway crossing traffic congestion can be seen
frequently, provision of under pass near jail and flyover near railway chowky in Tilak ward are to be
proposed for better vehicular movement.
Road side parking, encroachment by footpath seller, loading and unloading activities on road etc.,
which reduce capacity of right of way and obstruct the traffic flow.
The proposed right of way as per the Development plan for most of the roads is either not available or
has been encroached upon. Even the available right of way in most roads, especially in core city areas
is encroached upon by hawkers and on-street parking.
Most of the roads are without signage and other functional elements such as pedestrian pathways,
lighting, arboriculture, road markings etc. The riding surface of the roads is poor due to inadequate
maintenance.
Public Transport system is almost non-existent, auto rickshaw and cycle rickshaws are the
predominant mode of public transport.
Parking plot needs to be provided in commercial area.
Khery naka to NH-26 road, cinema road, Shubhash chowk to Sanichara chowk, Main road in market
are required to be widened.
Major junctions need to be improved to avoid the accidents and for smooth traffic movement.
Opportunities:
Bus service on public private partnership can provide improved mobility to residents.
Constructions of bridges instead of causeway can provide better connectivity in flood conditions.
Off- street parking on PPP can help in providing parking in the core area.
New links of roads and bridges can improve the network of city roads and provide good connectivity.
Signalization and junction improvement can improve traffic flow.
Pedestrian facilities and parking management will reduce congestion.
A dedicated transport division at Municipality can be created to address transport issues. This division
can coordinate various development projects.
Training in road behavior and traffic safety can be taken up with the help of police and citizen groups.
Threats:
Delay in road improvement, junction improvement and new construction will increase congestion.
Improper parking arrangement s can increase congestion.
Absence of pedestrian facilities may increase accidents.
Mix of traffic modes and change in driving habits are difficult to change.

4.3.11. STAKEHOLDERS PERCEPTION
Widening of Sankal road due to heavy freight movement.
Comprehensive traffic transportation plan needs to be prepared for the entire city.
Removal of encroachment from road sides.
Developments of proposed Narsinghpur bye pass.
Signage, Indicators, Road dividers, footpath should be placed for better traffic movement
and safety.

ISSUES STRATEGIES
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
Lack of coordination between land use and transportation
systems.
The provision of truck terminals and arterial ring roads/
bypasses are not planned to avoid unwanted freight
movement and parking inside the town.
Due to railway line passing through the city at railway
crossing traffic congestion can be seen frequently, provision
of under pass near jail and flyover near railway chowky in
Tilak ward are to be proposed for better vehicular
movement.
Road side parking, encroachment by footpath seller, loading
and unloading activities on road etc., which reduce capacity
of right of way and obstruct the traffic flow.
The proposed right of way as per the Development plan for
most of the roads is either not available or has been
encroached upon. Even the available right of way in most
roads, especially in core city areas is encroached upon by
hawkers and on-street parking.
Most of the roads are without signage and other functional
elements such as pedestrian pathways, lighting,
arboriculture, road markings etc. The riding surface of the
roads is poor due to inadequate maintenance.
Public Transport system is almost non-existent, auto
rickshaw and cycle rickshaws are the predominant mode of
public transport.
Parking plot needs to be provided in commercial area.
Khery naka to NH-26 road, cinema road, Shubhash chowk
to Sanichara chowk, Main road in market are required to be
widened.
Major junctions need to be improved to avoid the accidents
and for smooth traffic movement.

Narrow roads should be one way so as not to cause
traffic congestion.
Improvement of road junction for smooth flow of
traffic
Municipal council should take initiative for
widening key roads in the City, which will involve
substantial encroachment removal and land
acquisition.

4.3.14. ACTION PLAN
Strategy identified Increase carrying capacity through widening and improve riding quality through
strengthening of existing roads. New roads will cater missing links and
developing areas. Remove Encroachment
Expected Outcome Hassle-free travel on the roads, safe driving during nights
Total Investment Need Rs. 8652.25 lakhs

Identified investments based on the demand-gap assessment above presented are meant for the up-gradation of
existing un-surfaced roads; new road development; widening and strengthening of major roads; traffic
management systems and junction improvements; provision of street lighting, etc. An average road width of 7
mt, a total length of 166.87 km of road network would provide a fair degree of connectivity at an average of
0.96 meters per capita by 2035. Improve identified major roads and the construction of ROBs at various critical
intersections to achieve an efficient traffic management system.
The total investment need for roads, street lighting, transportation and traffic management sectors by
2035 is estimated at Rs 8652.25 lakhs. However the above mentioned gaps in the system are proposed to be
filled in phases in line with the area being developed and quantum of population addition. Accordingly 56.58%
of the identified investment for Road and Urban Transport is proposed to be funded by 2015 to cater the
current gaps and meet the immediate requirements.

A sum of Rs. 4895 lakhs (56.58 % of total investment need) in the roads and transport sector is proposed by
2015; this sum includes investment for organizing all utility corridors for better service management. Priority
capital investments are meant to cater the current service gaps and medium-term needs of 2025.
As a long-term strategy, Nagar Palika proposes widening/ strengthening and improvement of important roads
of the city along with the construction of two ROBs, and Truck terminals would be planned. Also, every new
road shall be designed to have utility corridors as a part of better asset management practice; the cost of this
facility is in-built into road improvement cost.

4.4.1. EXISTING SITUATION OF STREET LIGHTS
The operation and maintenance of street lights in the city is taken care by Nagar Palika including repairs and
replacement of fixtures, switching on and off operations and complaint receipt. Power is supplied by Madhya
Pradesh Electric Board (East Region) for street lighting.
Figure 23 Street Light Facility

The power supply for the streetlights is allocated at 12 different locations in the city by which power is being
supplied to 1680 streetlights. Almost all the roads in city are covered by the streetlight facilities. Average
spacing between two poles is 34 mt which is quite more than national standards of 30mt.

4.4.2. FIRE SERVICE
Figure 24 Fire Fighting Service

At present Narsinghpur Nagar Palika has only one fire fighter with no separate storage facility for the water.
Water is directly pumped out and filled in the tanker.
As per CPHEEO manual the fire fighting demand in kilolitre per day for communities with population more
than 50000 is equal to 100 times the population in thousand. According to this Fire fighting demand is shown
below.

2025 1.13 0.37
2035 1.31 0.43

4.4.3. VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING AND RESCUE OPERATIONS
No ambulance services are provided by Nagar Palika and it has no other extra equipment like hydraulic
platforms, trailers, rescue vans, ambulances, mortuary van etc. for fire fighting and disaster management. The
present fire brigade of Nagar Palika though is effectively handling fire calls are seriously strained with lack of
infrastructure and personnel. There should be a central fire station with all facilities like parade ground,
workshop, training areas and residential facilities etc.

4.5.1. EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
At present there is no planned storm water drainage system exist in the city. Rain water is flowing
through road side surface or open drains results damage of road surfaces. At present this open drains
are choked up because of garbage dumping and over flooded in rainy season create unhygienic
condition.
4.5.2. MAJOR WATER BODIES
In monsoon rainwater from all the primary and secondary natural drains disposed off in Sigri River.
The natural drains flowing through old settlement area like Kishani ward, Pathak ward, Shivaji ward,
Nehru ward, Tilak ward and Belapurkar ward, by which rain water is runoff and finally met to Sigri
River.

Figure 25 River & Natural drains within City

4.5.3. FLOOD PRONE AREAS
Major flood prone zone in Narsinghpur is along the railway line where the drain crosses the line and on
western side near Karbala. Under these circumstances as on date there is no well designed facility for proper
disposal of storm water. The monsoon in the region is seasonal and is active between the months of June to
September. The average annual rainfall is 1079mm, however the fluctuation in the rainfall is much more
frequently which poses severe problem of disposal and submergence. All the natural drains in town are
encroached & dumped with garbage resulting overflow in rainy season.

Strengths:
Availability of natural drainage channels to dispose the storm water safely.
Fairly well developed storm water drainage system.
Weakness:
Road infrastructure in the city is badly affected and damaged at several locations during monsoons
due to the unavailability of storm water drainage networks. Desilting operation of the natural drains
are not done regularly, results chock up of the drains.
Future population addition is expected to increase the pressure on the drainage system of the town,
requiring Nagarpalika to stress on the development of road networks along with that of storm water
drains.
The existing open drains are very small and use for waste water drainage as well as storm water
drainage.
Opportunities:
Capital market available to undertake urban infrastructure works.
Private sector participation in the delivery of basic services
Threats:
Ground/Soil characteristics do not facilitate permeability and retention of water.
Rapid urbanization, encroachment of natural drains, choking of drains due to solid waste disposal.

During monsoon the open drains get choked, resulting in overflowing of these drains, underground
drainage system should be planned.
Water logging is observed along the railway line where the drain crosses the line and on western side
near Karbala

Entire city should be covered with separate storm water drainage to avoid mixing with sewer water
To make Narsinh Talav as an Ultimate disposal point by which water harvesting can be done and also
improve the ground water table.

ISSUES STRATEGIES
Road infrastructure in the city is badly affected
and damaged at several locations during
monsoons due to the unavailability of storm
water drainage networks. Desilting operation
of the natural drains are not done regularly,
results chock up of the drains.

City should develop adequate and separate storm
water drainage.
4.5.9. ACTION PLAN:

Strategy identified Network expansion, conversion of kutcha and pucca open drains to closed Pucca
drains
Expected Outcome Universal coverage and disposal capability, restrict sewerage flow into storm
water drains
Identified investments based on the demand-gap assessment above presented are meant for construction of
166.87 km of new pucca closed drains to cater service gaps by 2035. The system plans to cover 100% of the
road network for service efficiency. The total investment need for drains sectors by 2035 is estimated at Rs.
5006.24 lakhs. However the above mentioned gaps in the system are proposed to be filled in phases in line
with the road network being developed and quantum of population addition. Accordingly 51.47% of the
identified investment is proposed to be funded by 2015 to cater the current gaps and meet the immediate
requirements.
A sum of Rs. 2576.70 lakhs (51.47% of total investment need in the drains sector) is proposed to be invested in
storm water drainage by 2015. Priority capital investments are meant to cater the current service gap as well as
to the medium-term needs of the proposed storm water drainage network by 2025. The majority of the
investment is dedicated to the formation of new networks in un-serviced and newly developed areas of
Narsinghpur. Further, Municipal Council will need to plan beyond 2015-16 for further augmentation of
network by another 80.98 km to cater the long-term needs of 2035.

generated in the city. Practically no storage of waste is done at source. Domestic, Commercial and Institutional
waste are thrown on the streets, foot paths drains and water bodies. Recyclable waste is not generated at
source. Along with the domestic waste construction and demolition wastes are also deposited on the road side
or open space, obstructing traffic and causing nuisance.
Presently the solid waste is managed with the following staff and machinery. There is one health officer, one
sanitary inspector, two nos Daroga, 102 no. Sweeper and 2 no. Drivers. There exists 3 tractor trolley, 20 no.
Hand cart and 23 no.dustbins.

4.6.3. CURRENT PRACTICES, WASTE STORAGE , SEGREGATION, COLLECTION
There is no system for primary collection of waste in the city. Absence of waste storage depots, open sides or
cement concrete bins, metal bins and structures are used for temporary storage of waste. The bins used are very
unhygienic and waste can be seen scattered. These bins are not cleared every day. Street sweeping is not
carried out regularly. The tools used for street sweeping are inefficient and outdated. Transportation of waste is
done through a variety of vehicles ranging from hand carts, three wheelers, tractor trolleys and trucks etc. Most
of the transport vehicles are loaded manually.
4.6.4. PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL
No processing of waste is done in towns. Disposal is done in most unsatisfactory method. Generally crude
open dumping is adopted for disposal of waste in low lying area at trenching ground. Institutional
arrangements are not efficient and no community involvement.

4.6.7. PROJECT PROPOSAL : SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Looking to the above condition, Narsinghpur Municipal council has prepared a report on solid waste
management for the city.
Salient features
Collection of household waste at source by providing suitable litre/garbage bins at convenient
places.
Sweeping of streets, paths, lanes every day
Sweeping of public places like bus stands, Bazar and Hat area periodically at least twice a day.
Collection and transportation of waste collected in bins to central collection point through
manually driven hand carts. Transportation of waste from central collection points to dumping
grounds through tractor trolleys and dumper placers for sorting out.
Dumping and spreading of waste for segregation into recyclable, compostable and inert waste.
Disposal of recyclable waste through public auction to earn some revenue.
Utilizing other waste for land filling operation by spreading the waste in thin layers and
compacted.
Providing 10 cm. Layer of earth or any other inert material waste over compacted layers of waste.
Collection of waste from slaughter houses vegetable markets, meat and fish markets separately
and used for composting.

4.6.8. SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths
The current system is partly mechanized, eliminating manual waste collection partially,
transportation through introduction of waste containers and tractor trolley.
Land is already identified for waste processing /disposal facility.
Waste characteristics suitable for composting.
Presence of informal rag picking activity and recycling market.
Weaknesses:
Existing Solid waste management operations do not confirm to MSWM Rules, 2000.
No SWM expertise and technical knowhow in the ULB: the employees have no experience in
the operation of scientific waste collection, processing and disposal systems.
No qualified technical staff
Low levels of public awareness: public behavior leading to street littering. Domestic,
Commercial and industrial waste are thrown on the street, foot paths, drains and water bodies.
Along with the domestic waste construction and demolition waste are also deposited on road
sides, obstructing traffic and causing nuisance.
The bins used are unhygienic and waste can be seen more on outside the bin than inside.
Street sweeping is not done regularly. The tools used for the sweeping are outdated and
inefficient.
No processing of waste is done and disposal of waste is done in most unsatisfactory method and
dumped in open low lying area.
Opportunities:
Scope of involvement of NGOs in SWM.
Opportunity to involve private sector in solid waste management, mainly in waste
transportation, processing and disposal.
Availability of funds for capital investment in solid waste management.
Opportunity to levy solid waste collection charge with the introduction of door to door
collection.
Threats:
Site identified for waste processing and landfill is not sufficient for design life.
High O&M costs for scientific waste disposal.
Untrained manpower.
Public cooperation in waste segregation at source and adherence to door-to-door collection
schedule.
Lack of willingness to charge.

Sufficient containers bins which are easily accessible to be provided in the entire city.
Scientific disposal of solid waste needs to be done.
Incinerators facility should be proposed by Nagarpalika so that biomedical waste disposal is
done within the city and generate income.
Burning of waste and throwing of waste in public places should be prohibited.

A separate site should be provided for scientific disposal & treatment for solid waste.
Nagar palika should provide an incinerator for Bio-medical waste disposal to reduce the
dependency on Seony town and it will the income generating source for Nagar Palika.
Present SWM infrastructure should be upgraded with modern equipment
Door to Door collection (Collection at source) should be initiated with the help of PPP or
Privatisation of the service
Source segregation should be carried out for better disposal of solid waste.

ISSUES STRATEGIES
Domestic, Commercial and industrial waste are
thrown on the street, foot paths, drains and water
bodies.
Along with the domestic waste construction and
demolition waste are also deposited on road sides,
obstructing traffic and causing nuisance.
The bins used are unhygienic and waste can be
seen more on outside the bin than inside.
Street sweeping is not done regularly. The tools
used for the sweeping are outdated and
inefficient.
No processing of waste is done and disposal of
waste is done in most unsatisfactory method and
umped in open low lying area.
Comprehensive study for solid waste
management is required for selecting
appropriate site of disposal and system has to
be implemented for assessment of type and
quantum of waste generated.
Waste collection should ensure segregation at
source and separate management of segregated
waste. Market waste management - Vegetable
and market wastes could be separately
transported to a common facility for disposal
Bio-medical waste management-. As per the
statutory requirements, the collection and
management needs to be enhanced to ensure
proper segregated management of this
category of waste. The capacity of the existing
incinerator facility needs to be reviewed and
augmented if required to dispose all such
waste generated in the city.
Solid waste should be disposed scientifically
so not to cause health and environment
hazardous.
Primary and secondary waste collection
should be modernized so as to achieve 100%
waste collection.
Throwing of solid waste on road side and
burning of solid waste should be banned by
conducting Public awareness programs

4.6.12. ACTION PLAN:
Strategy identified Source segregation and door-to-door collection, effective transportation and
environmentally safe disposal
Expected Outcome Reduced waste generation, hygienic conditions and a clean city
The demand-gap assessment above presented indicates generation of 43.46 MT of waste in the city by 2035
against the current generation of 18.25 MT at 250 grams per capita per day; the future generation of solid
waste is assumed at 250 grams per capita per day. Accordingly, the requirements are planned for the horizon
year 2035.
At present Nagar Palika has no separate landfill area for solid waste disposal, Nagar Palika needs to acquire 4
acres after 2015-16 for future landfill and composting purposes. About 6 tons capacity addition by 2015
through increasing fleet size would be required for efficient primary and secondary collection of solid waste.
The total investment need for conservancy and sanitation sectors by 2035 is estimated at Rs. 1327.81 lakhs.
However the above mentioned gaps in the system are proposed to be filled in phases in line with the road
network being developed and quantum of population addition. Accordingly 23.29% of the identified
investment is proposed to be funded by 2015 to cater the current gaps and meet the immediate requirements.
A sum of Rs. 308.99 lakhs (23.29 % of total investment need in the sector) is proposed by 2015. Priority
capital investments are meant to cater to the current service gap and the medium-term needs of 2025.
The requirements at the disposal site are planned for the horizon year 2035. Accordingly, infrastructure for
land fill and composting is proposed on a total land of 9 acres. Infrastructure development for land fill would
be a year-to-year capital expense. In line with these developments, augmentation of vehicle capacity by 5.0
tons would be required by 2015 to meet the current gap and immediate needs. About 179 handcarts are
proposed to be acquired; 10 container bins are proposed to meet the gap by 2015.
Further, Nagar Palika will need to plan beyond 2015-16 for further augmentation of vehicle capacity by 5 tons
as well as the construction of more intermediate transfer stations in line with the changing land use pattern and
waste generation trends, to cater the long-term needs of 2035. Rs. 165 lakhs is proposed for construction of
public convenience systems mainly to cater to the urban poor and slum locations by 2015. These would be in
the form of 10 seat complex to be operated on pay & use format. This however is to cater the present slum
population only and not a long term measure as earlier suggested.

6. URBAN POOR AND SLUMS


6. URBAN POOR AND THEIR ACCESSIBILITY TO BASIC SERVICES
6.1. POVERTY IN THE TOWN
Out of the total population in Narsinghpur around 45 % population resides in slums, squatter and other poor
settlements. Their contribution to the Citys economy has been growing over period. In the absence of the
policy to address their problems, the poor may suffer from many inadequacies in terms of access to basic
services, socio-economic needs. Slums are lacking both in terms of infrastructure provision and social and
economic development.

6.2. INFORMATION ON SLUM POPULATION
In 24 wards of the Municipal Council of Narsinghpur, there are 4873 slum families, which come to 24365
populations. Below is the ward wise slum population and there percentage share to total population. Out of the
total, 550 slum families are notified, the rest are not notified by the MC.

6.3. SLUMS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The slum relocation scheme has been planned in Narsinghpur City under Integrated Housing & Slum
Development Programme (IHSDP). About 651 slum dwellers are proposed to be benefited for Housing from
ward no 8, 9 and 24 and 5115 nos for infrastructure development under IHSDP scheme. 6 slum pockets are
identified in for Housing under IHSDP scheme. As per Govt. norms each slum dwellers has been given 25
sq.mt. Built-up area.

6.4. LOCATION OF SLUMS ON TOWN MAP
Figure 40 Location of the slum pockets

6.5. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUM
Figure 41 Housing condition in Slum area

Majority of slums comprises of the Schedules caste, Scheduled tribes and other backward castes.
Most of the slums have predominantly one caste staying in it or people from one place of origin.
The majority of the working population in slums are engaged in small scale industries or
agriculture i.e activities like bidi making, basket making etc.
The average household size in slums in Narsinghpur is 5 versus 6.15 for the city as a whole. On
an average; slum households have a monthly income per person of Rs. 1000 in the range of Rs.
500- Rs.1500.
Health related obligatory functions of the Municipal Council are restricted and health related
activities are inadequate .The city has to depend on nearby larger city like Jabalpur for higher
medical needs. Lack of awareness of family planning practices is evident.
Basically the houses in the slums are either pucca houses or mud houses with tiled roofs with
narrow lanes, others have houses that are entirely made of makeshift materials like wood,
bamboo.
In most of the slums, children have access to primary schools and middle schools. Literacy levels,
especially female literacy in all, are extremely low.
6.6. STATUS OF SLUMS (NOTIFIED/UN-NOTIFIED)
6.6.1. LAND OWNERSHIP & TENURE STATUS
Most of the slums in Narsinghpur are located on government and private lands. Government land includes land
belonging to the, state or municipal government. Private land, on the other hand, belongs to individuals.

6.6.2. TENURE STATUS
Government has from time-to-time issued the slum households legal ownership/title of land/Patta as part of its
policy to ensure tenure security to the poor and landless.
Most of the slum has legal land ownership. The land has been given to all the slum dwellers on pattas. ( The
Patta Act, 1984 & 1998-The Madhya Pradesh Nagriya Kshetron Ke Bhoomiheen Vyakti (Pattadhruti
Adhikaron Ka Pradan Kiya Jana) Adhihiyam, 1984, Popularly known as Patta act was introduced to grant
leasehold rights to the landless persons occupying urbam lands. The act was amended in 1998 under Rajiv
Gandhi Ashray Abhiyan.
6.7. URBAN BASIC SERVICES IN SLUMS ( 7 POINT CHARTER ANALYSIS )
WATER SUPPLY
In present situation most of the residents of the slums obtained their water either from an improved point
source, such as a well or bore well or from the Municipal council piped supply system or from Public stand
post. Bore well are fitted with individual hand pumps for local supply.
Individual house connections should be provided in line with Municipal Corporations policy on flat rate
metering.
SEWAGE SYSTEM
At present slum area of Narsinghpur essentially comparison an individual pour-flush latrines and public latrine
blocks. Residents who do not have access to one of this sanitation, then the common practice is defecation in
an open space or along drainage creating unhygienic condition.
STORM WATER DRAINAGE
The existing condition of surface drainage system is very bad in all slum areas. Most of the roads in the
selected slum areas do not have proper drainage system. During the monsoons most of these roads get
crammed with muddy water, which remains stagnant for weeks and as result give rise to many diseases.
STREET LIGHT
About 35 % have streetlights and mostly in the form of tube lights or bulb fixtures. 65 % slum dwellers have
electric connection in their house. The services are not up to the mark in terms of quality as well as coverage.
ROADS / PAVING
In most of the slums roads are either Kuccha, RCC or partly paved, having inadequate width with poor surface
drain.
PUBLIC TOILET
Most of the slums do not have public toilets and where these public toilets are constructed, those are not
maintaining properly by users. Only 13% of public toilets are available in slums
HOUSING CONDITION IN SLUMS
80% of slum dwellers living in temporary shelters. 70% of houses are entirely made of locally available
materials like bamboo, clay, plastic/tarpaulin sheets.
6.8. SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES AND BENEFICIARIES
Salient features of the Scheme
The present population of the settlement will be resettled on the same site except those who are
adjoining river and the flood prone areas and Mushran Van.
Slums shall be redeveloped on a land of 6.07 Ha. Due provisions for drains, basic infrastructure
and amenities shall be made.
Houses will be provided with all infrastructure facilities like water supply, sewerage, drainage,
electrification etc.
Figure 42 IHSDP Housing Scheme - Slum Relocation site

Existing open spaces in the ward will be further developed as a play ground.
The existing open space in the ward will be further developed as a play ground.
Houses will be allotted on lease hold basis for thirty years period.
The land freed from the old settlement will be used for commercial development giving rise to
employment to the local population.
6.9. SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths
Preparation of IHSDP scheme will result in resolving the issues in service delivery and housing,
if efficiently handled.
Weaknesses:
Slow execution of present proposal of IHSDP scheme for slum relocation.
Sluggish economic growth and inadequate infrastructure has resulted in poverty and development
of slums.
Lack of educational facilities and health care to improve the living standards.
Lack of basic infrastructure like roads with reasonable width to take care of vehicular traffic
growth, insufficient water supply, poor housing conditions, poor sanitation, absence of sewerage
system and disposal of domestic waste water/sewage and solid waste.
Lack of policies and proposals for their up gradation
Opportunities:
Potential for provision of alternate land for urban poor settlements in low lying areas through
Town planning schemes.
Fairly high levels of willingness to pay among the urban poor, which is one of the first steps
towards sustainable service delivery.
Recognisaton of the need for awareness generation programs for the poor among stakeholders,
including politicians.
Threats:
Inadequate emphasis on programs/fund allocation for urban poor and other disadvantaged groups.
Participatory processes are time-consuming and are therefore often axed in favor of less
Sustainable practices.

6.12. ACTION PLAN:
Strategy identified Rehabilitation of slum dwellers currently staying in vulnerable areas and in
proposed project locations, in-site improvements and access to basic services and
amenities
Expected Outcome Improvement in quality of services for the urban poor, preservation of sensitive
geographies, reduced vulnerability of urban poor, removal of slums by year 2035.
The requirements in this sector are of immediate priority. Hence, the planning horizon for the sector is 2035
and accordingly projects and investments have been identified to be funded by 2035. A sum of Rs. 790 lakhs is
the investment identified for various slum rehabilitation and improvement projects and for providing basic
services to urban poor by 2015. This however is partly against resolution of the prime issue of the
encroachments of the proposed rehabilitation lands. Of the identified investment, about 16.08% of total
investment has been allocated for improving and rehabilitating housing stock (about 878 units) by year 2015-
16. As part of 10% own funding, it is proposed that 10% will be mobilized as beneficiary contribution.

7. ENVIRONMENT


7. ENVIRONMENT
7.1. FLORA AND FAUNA
The goal of the Preserving Flora Fauna and vegetation cover is to ensure the conservation and sustainable use
of globally significant dry land biodiversity. This can be achieved by
1. Conserving biodiversity in community managed areas (pastures, grasslands, sacred forests)
peripheral to the project sites, which provide habitat/corridors for endangered species. To develop
and implement sustainable alternative livelihood options and ensure the conservation of
domesticated and agricultural biodiversity.
2. By carrying out upstream activities to ensure the conservation of biodiversity within the protected
area and their buffer zone, as well as to incorporate biodiversity conservation into existing land-
use and development plans and environmental legislation.
The people of Narsinhgpur keen to improve the city beautification and would provide support to Nagarpalika
for such initiative. Nagarpalika can engage NGOs for such beautification of city, development of green space
or landscaping work. By doing such program me Nagarpalika can improve the environmental status of the city.
The goal is to conserve globally significant biodiversity while at the same time improving the standard of
living of local people. This will occur through knowledge intensive biodiversity-friendly activities so that
local stakeholders intensity of forest resource use is reduced, while the value-added incomes and livelihood
benefits derived from the resources are increased.
List of flora and fauna found surrounding Narsinghpur city.

Flora and Fauna
For studying the aquatic flora and fauna (Phytoplankton and Zooplankton) in the study area Black Domat soil,
smooth soil, rocky soil, and sandy soils are there in which wheat, grams and all type of pulses has been mainly
produced. Narsinghpur is very famous for growing Soya beans, Pulses.
The following is an indicative list of activities for the preserving urban environment:
Strengthen the management of existing protected areas (develop and Implement management
plans).
Clarify the status of protected areas, determine boundaries, gazetting.
Establish biological corridors to ensure safe migration of species.
Build the capacity of government institutions and local communities involved in conservation
activities and develop better communication and coordination networks.
Improve management of sacred groves, community forests and grasslands by helping define
roles, responsibilities of stakeholders and Mechanisms to ensure control and responsibility.
Improve database and inventory of dryland biological resources and indigenous knowledge.
Develop and implement strategies to control exotic, invasive species.
Add value to indigenous uses of biodiversity, improve technology,
Public awareness and environmental education.
Conserve domestic and agro-biodiversity.
Provide input into development of land-use plans and amendment of environment policies for
drylands at the state and national level .

7.1.1. KEY ISSUES FLORA FAUNA
To conserve and augment critically endangered flora and fauna .
To improve the institutional and technical capacities of the Forest Department for biodiversity
conservation and
To identify and initiate processes of change in order to overcome policy and institutional barriers
hindering the sustainable management and conservation of the environment.

7.2. POLLUTION LEVELS (AIR, WATER AND SOIL)
7.2.1. AIR POLLUTION LEVELS
Air pollution encompasses a diverse array of natural and anthropogenic emissions, including gaseous
constituents, volatile chemicals, aerosols (particulate) and their atmospheric reaction products. Ambient air acts
as an atmospheric sink, where all emissions are released. Many such emissions are in such small quantities that
they get immediately dissipated and absorbed but continuous release of these pollutants build up in the air and
pose hazards to human health. Despite pollution control effects, the air quality has been threatened to alarming
levels in several cities throughout the world. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that as many as
1.4 billion urban residents in the world breathe air exceeding the WHO air quality guidelines (World Resource
Institute, 2000). The health consequences of exposure to dirty air are considerable. On a global basis, estimates
of mortality due to outdoor air pollution is estimated to be around 2.0 to 5.7 lacs, representing about 0.4 to 1.1
percent of total annual deaths. The adverse effects of air pollution are more pronounced in the developing
countries. On the one hand, the developing countries are grappling with the environmental problems associated
with inadequate economic developments, the hallmarks of which are malnutrition, poor sanitation and lack of
basic human needs. On the other hand, in their pursuit for rapid economic development, the developing
countries are confronted with a newer set of environmental problems due to increasing air pollution on account
of industrialization, urbanization and motorization.
Severe air pollution episodes during last century have shown that breathing dirty air can be dangerous and at
times deadly. Many countries have adopted ambient air quality standards to safeguard the public against the
most common and damaging pollutants, which include sulphur dioxide, suspended particulate matter, ground
level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and lead, which are directly or indirectly released by the
combustion of fossil fuels. Although substantial investments in pollution control in some countries have
lowered the levels of these pollutants in many cities, poor air quality is still a major concern throughout the
industrialized world.
Indoor Air Pollution
There are four principal sources of pollutants in indoor air viz. combustion, building material, the ground under
the building and biological agents. As dangerous as polluted outdoor air can be to health, indoor air pollutants
can pose even a greater health risk. Indoor air pollution is a concern where energy efficiency improvements
sometimes make the house relatively air tight thereby reducing ventilation and raising indoor pollutant levels.
Indoor air pollution is usually associated with occupational situation particularly through combustion of
biomass fuels. The greatest threat of indoor pollution exists where the people continue to rely on traditional
fuels for cooking and heating. Burning such fuels produces large amounts of smoke and other air pollutants in
the confined space of home, a perfect recipe for high exposures. Liquid and gaseous fuels such as kerosene and
bottled gas although not completely pollution free is many times less polluting than unprocessed solid fuels. In
these circumstances, exposure to pollutants is often far higher indoors than outdoors. The health problems due
to indoor air pollutants are more widespread than those caused by outdoor air pollutants for the following
reasons.
The exposed persons are in close proximity to the source of indoor air pollutants.
A recent report of WHO asserts 'the rule of 1000' which states that a pollutant released indoor is
one thousand times more likely to reach the lungs than a pollutant released outdoors.
Women and children, particularly those in rural sector spend more time indoors than outdoors.
In rural/small city areas, indoor air pollution is responsible for much greater mortality than
ambient air pollution.
Epidemiological studies have linked exposure to indoor air pollution from dirty fuels with at least
four major categories of illness. These are:
acute respiratory infections (ARI) in children
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as asthma and bronchitis;
lung cancer and
Pregnancy related problems. Of these, ARI appears to have the greatest health impact in
terms of the number of people affected.
Traditional biomass fuels amount for 80% of domestic energy consumption in our country. When these fuels
are burnt in simple cook stoves during meal preparation, air inside homes get heavily polluted with smoke that
contains large amounts of toxic pollutants such as carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur dioxide
(SO2), aldehydes, dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and respirable particulate matter. The resulting
human exposures exceed the permissible norms by a factor in multiples.

(Source: Pollution Control Board Annual Report 2005-2006)
A citys environment is the most critical determinant of the quality of life of its inhabitants and consequently of
urban productivity. Air, water, greenery and noise levels are the constituents of urban environment. The
Madhya Pradesh State Pollution Control Board (MSPCB) is responsible for monitoring the water and air
quality of the state as well as city.
Present Air quality in Narsinhgpur area:
The principal sources of air pollution in Narsinghpur are largely from vehicular emission and dust pollution
because of the vehicular movement. Use of kerosene as fuel by auto-rickshaw, pollution from emission of
three Wheeler auto rickshaws and relatively more numbers of the two wheelers is the sources of vehicular
emissions. As such there is no major chemical or oil industry in Narsinghpur, so it does not affect the air
quality.
The major cause of air pollution in Narsinghpur is the discharge from automobiles, (carbon monoxide,
particulate matter, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen) burn up of dry (solid) wastes, bio-medical waste, dust
move off by the various activities, and Indoor pollution by combustion of biomass fuels, rely on traditional
fuels for cooking and heating, combustion, building material, use of Liquid and gaseous fuels such as kerosene
and bottled gas.
In the absence of specific studies/ monitoring of vehicular emissions, no specific conclusions could be arrived
at. However, it is clear that the large numbers of city vehicles & industry-related heavy vehicles plying the city
roads, burn up of dry (solid) wastes, bio-medical waste, dust move off by the various activities, are the main
cause of air pollution. The reasons for this substantial contribution by trucks/tempos to pollution are
Narsinghpur is a district head quarter so the passing of regional traffic through the city on the State Highway.
7.3. KEY ISSUES - AIR & WATER POLLUTION
Continuous Flow of regional traffic
These contribute significantly to carbon emissions in the city. Narsinghpur receives a lot of regional
traffic and floating population as it is a district head, who travel by private vehicles. This increasing
number of private vehicles is consequently causing more vehicular emissions and higher noise levels
in the city
Lack of infrastructural facilities
The present large quantum of solid waste, the generation of rotten vegetable and fruits would be
equally large and the absence of proper disposal & treatment facilities of this waste is clearly felt in
the wake of the large scale pollution of the river Singri. The city has inadequate quantum of drainage
disposal infrastructure which leads to water pollution and health hazards.

7.5. CITY GREEN SPACES (GARDENS AND RECREATION - TOTAL COVERAGE RATIO)
There are three Gardens/Parks situated in the city. One is Subhash park second is Mushran Van and
third is located near Narsinghpur mandir. These open green spaces are required to be maintained and
improved with better infrastructure facilities which help to improve the city beautification.
7.6. WATER FRONT DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATION
Figure 44 Narsinghpur Lake

Narsinghpur Lake is covering a vast area, needs to be developed in a planned manner. It will be one of the best
picnic spot by developing the green space surrounding the lake along with conservation and restoration of Old
Narsinghpur temple. The action plans for lake conservation are given below.
To carryout Situational analysis - Identify/adapt existing agency
Review body of work done in the past (practical efforts, published/unpublished secondary data)
Collection Climate data, especially related to rainfall, Analysis of In/out flow data for water body
Pollution: Identify Points, sources, scale, existing mitigation
To carry out Ecological assessment: water body, catchments, command
Socio-economic assessment: direct/indirect users, government agencies, NGOs, municipal
bodies, other interest groups/stakeholders
Health status baseline
Institutional analysis: Project Implementing Agency, other government agencies, NGOs.
7.7. DISASTER MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN
At present Nagarpalika has no disaster mitigation mechanism and equipment. Nagar Palika has Fire station
only as part of disaster management which is also not well equipped with required disaster mitigation
mechanism.
Heavy rain and flood is a recurring phenomenon. The environmental hazards associated with flood calamities
need to be tackled on a specialized footing. Possible hazards are contamination of Land and Water and
farmlands.
Government has taken several initiatives for strengthening disaster reduction strategies. Government
constituted an Expert Group to examine the related issues and evolve recommendations for improving
preparedness and prevention with respect to natural disasters caused by earthquakes, floods and cyclones. They
also perform the activity like
Monitoring of Hazards
Vulnerability Assessment
Prediction and Forecasting
Structures and Buildings
Hazard Mapping;
Disaster Risk Assessment and Mapping
Preparation of Building Guidelines
Filling them as much as possible
The State level Task Force is to facilitate the identification of gaps and evolve strategies in disaster preparedness
and response. It also will serve the purpose of integrating various sectors like Shelter, Livelihood, Child Focus,
Gender, Vulnerability, Health, ICT, Environment, etc. in to the disaster preparedness.
7.7.1. ACTION PLAN FOR MITIGATION OF DISASTER
Creation of awareness for disaster reduction is urgently needed amongst policy makers, decision
makers, administrators, professionals (architects, engineers and others at various levels) financial
institutions (banks, insurance, house financing institutions) and NGOs and voluntary
organizations.
Creating awareness for improving preparedness amongst the communities, using media, school
education, and the network of the building centre.
Appropriate amendments in the legislative and regulatory instruments (state laws, master plans,
development area plan rules, building regulations and bye-laws of local bodies) along with
strengthening of the enforcement mechanisms at different levels.
Capacity building at local and regional levels for undertaking rapid-assessment surveys and
investigations of the nature and extent of damage in post disaster situations.
Conducting micro-zone surveys of city areas falling in the disaster prone areas and preparing
appropriate preparedness and mitigation plans on an urgent basis.
To ensure use of disaster resistant construction techniques in all housing and other buildings to be
undertaken under the Central and State schemes.
Making mandatory, the use of disaster resistant codes and guidelines related to disaster resistant
construction in the houses and buildings in all sectors of the society by law and through
incentives and disincentives.
To create a suitable institutional mechanism at state/city level to advise and help the existing
disaster relief set up in formulation and updating of short and long range action plans for the
preparedness, mitigation and prevention of natural disasters. (The mechanisms suggested are
establishment of a National Scientific and Technical Committee at Central level and Natural
Disaster Mitigation Centres at State levels).
To promote the study of natural disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness as subjects in
architecture and engineering curricula.
To restructure the National Policy on disaster management reflecting the holistic approach
involving prevention, mitigation and preparedness in pre-disaster phase with appropriate
additional funding, along with the so far existent policy of the post-disaster relief and
rehabilitation under crisis management.
Main Objectives for Framing Action Plan and Proposed Mechanism for Disaster Mitigation
1. Mainstreaming vulnerability reduction and increasing capacities of communities through CBDRM.
2. Integrating CBDM into the development policies and programmes.
3. To take cognizance of all types of disasters ranging from, tsunamis, floods, surges, cyclones,
earthquakes, etc.
4. Ensuring uniform/minimum standards and internal and external sharing of programmes, best practices
and lessons learnt with participating agencies in DM.
5. Advocacy and lobbying with the Government to ensure appropriate policies and guidelines in disaster
management.
6. To sensitize the participants on the disaster Management with special focus on Community Based
Disaster Management.
7. To sensitize the participants on the need for integrating various sectors in to CBDM and vice versa.
8. Develop action plan for thematic groups for next six months.
9. The ultimate objective is to Make initiatives in order to protect lives and minimising damages to
property from natural disasters
The various activities envisaged are capacity building, Training of Trainers, orientation on CBDRM,
linkage to resource materials/ institutions, etc. So over all the purpose is to set up structures and
mechanisms on comprehensive disaster preparedness/ management.
7.7.2. ACTION PLAN
Strategy identified Appropriate investment for tree plantation and gardens will
reduce pollution within city
Expected Outcome Encouraging tree plantation and gardening policy will improve
environmental condition for city users
Total Investment Need Rs. 35 lac for Tree plantation, creation of gardens
While Municipal Council does not have a direct role to play in the economic development of the city or the
region, they propose to play a proactive role in facilitating and supporting the same through identified
projects from time to time. Initiatives like revitalization of the old cities through decongestion of the core
area, relocation of specific economic infrastructure like markets and wholesale centres are proposed.
A sum of Rs. 10 lakhs is the proposed investment for Tree plantation, creation of gardens, which will be
invested by the Municipal council in the phase 2 of development from 2016 to 2025.

8. HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION


8. HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION
8.1. IDENTIFICATION OF HERITAGE STRUCTURES/AREAS
Narsinghpur Temple is one of the oldest structure in the city followed by Ram Mandir and Krishna
mandir. But due to lack of maintenance they are losing their sharpness as a heritage structures.
Conservation and restoration of these ancient monuments are an immediate requirement for unique
identity of the city.
Figure 45 Narsinghpur Temple

In Narsinghpur and surround area, there are so many historic archeological arts & statues are seen which need
to be conserved. A museum can be proposed to restore these historical arts.
Figure 46 Archaeological art

8.2. URBAN MORPHOLOGY
The historic core area of the city has an organic structure. The network of main linkages has created urban
blocks. These urban blocks house a variety of building types or Urban elements serviced by an intricate
network of lanes known as Gali or Maholla, which is unique to the morphology of the historic area.
8.3. URBAN LINKAGES
The historic core is an organic mesh of streets and lanes locally known as Galis punctuated with squares and
open spaces. The streets developed on pedestrian scale with narrow widths sufficient to allow movement of
palanquins, hand carts and other slow moving means of transport. They curve and turn gently opening and
closing mysterious views adding suspense to the movement. These linkages can be divided into:
Primary Streets: The width of these streets is the maximum. There is specialization of commercial
activities and tremendous social interaction on these streets. Architectural features are richer and
more frequent.
Secondary Streets: These streets run perpendicular to the primary streets and end up in a tertiary
street or a cul-de-sac. Their width is less than the primary streets.
Tertiary Streets: The tertiary streets are purely residential with few small shops. The height-width
ratio is such that they remain shaded for most part of the day.
8.4. URBAN ELEMENTS
Diverse activity pattern in the historic area has given rise to different types of Urban Elements. The types have
typologies that have evolved over several generations. The various urban elements existing in the historic area
are:
Temples: Temples are places of Hindu worship. Narsinghpur Mandir, Ram Mandir, Krishna
Mandir are the oldest Temples in the city.
8.5. RESTORATION & CONSERVATION - HERITAGE GUIDELINES
8.5.1. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RELIGIOUS - HISTORIC AREA
A. Assessment of Conservation Value
This section sets out the cultural significance of the city through an assessment of the
conservation values of local, regional, national and international importance. Understanding
the full significance of cultural base of Narsinghpur is the basis for making informed and
effective management decisions and is therefore fundamental. It will assist in ensuring that
the heritage values are protected for future generations and managed properly in the context
of the wider city.
B. Religious Value
The built and un-built spaces are a symbol of the spiritual belief of the people not only from
the local community and region but also as a whole from all over state especially the Hindus.
C. Historic Value
The presences of various temples, ashram and mosque have enriched the history and
importance of the city.
D. Architectural Value
The Historic area has high quality spaces that provide a unique visitor experience. The area is
vernacular in character with late architectural features, materials and building technology
adapted into it.
E. Archaeological Value
There are idols, sculptures, pillars surviving across the historic area from different time
periods that are of archaeological significance.
8.5.2. CULTURAL HERITAGE ASSETS OF THE RELIGIOUS
The cultural assets of Narsinghpur city identified on the basis of their inherent Conservation Values loosely fall
into two categories Tangible and Intangible that are part of the rich tapestry of many years of change and
development. A summary description of these assets follows.
Tangible Assets
A. Built Heritage: The built heritage of Narsinghpur is extensive and spread across the historic core
of the city. Narsinghpur Mandir, Ram Mandir, Krishna Mandir are surviving across the historic
are form different time periods that have archaeological significance.
The qualities in the built heritage assets that need to be preserved include:
Urban pattern as defined by plots and streets.
Relationships between buildings and green and open spaces.
The formal appearance, interior, exterior of buildings as defined by scale, size, style, construction
materials, color and ornamentation.
The relationship between the city or urban area and its surrounding setting both natural and
manmade.
The various functions that the city or urban area has acquired over time.
B. Natural Heritage: The natural environment is of great importance to the historic area. The
topography of the area, the Singri River have influenced and inspired the growth of the city. The
citys origins and development are intimately bound up with the presence of the river. It is also
an important landscape element and plays a crucial role in conveying floodwaters.
Intangible Assets
The importance of Narsinghpur local communities and their diverse culture is essential for its future and must
be understood fully to appreciate the character of the city. The success of a city relies on combining the
protection of not only its tangible assets but also intangible assets. The combination of history and present
living is highly valued.
While the physical remains of Narsinghpur form a unique band, there are also the intangible associations and
traditions which form an important part of its significance. This culture has been at the heart of forming the
outstanding physical elements of the city. The city also has rich associations with prominent people from
different eras. Festival, celebrations, and events an integral part of living in the historic area is part of its assets.
8.5.3. MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR HISTORIC AREA
Statutory and Legal Framework
Narsinghpur city has a provision of conserving the heritage structure in development plan regulation.
Conservation of acknowledged Heritage buildings in cities, and villages falls variously under the purview of
Archaeological Survey of India, Department of Archaeology, Government of MP and Public Religious
Charitable Trusts.
INSTITUTIONAL SET- UP AND MANAGEMENT
In the absence of an enabling or guiding framework for heritage conservation in the city, the responsibility for
management of heritage (institutional set up) rests with the district and local administration. Presently, the local
administration does not have any direct or indirect role in specific programs or initiatives related to heritage
conservation. There is no heritage-linked infrastructure existing in the city. For buildings owned by Trusts,
there exist institutional mechanisms for their management and upkeep. These institutions are mandated to
safeguard the preservation of assets owned but no express intent for conservation is reflected. They are also
responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the records of accounts and numbers.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
There are no especially allocated resources for religious, Historical & heritage conservation in the city. No
entry charges to the religious, Historical & heritage buildings are levied. Governments (Local and State), are
the primary stakeholders in religious, Historical & heritage conservation. In addition to being the owner of
religious, Historical & heritage conservation assets, they are responsible for initiatives that impact religious,
Historical & heritage conservation.
8.5.4. UNDERSTANDING PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF THE HISTORIC AREA
Understanding the peoples perception of their Cultural Assets is very crucial before planning any
Conservation program. Very often it is seen that such programs are planned by Government organizations and
Conservation Specialists who have a limited view of the scenario. Cultural Assets are eventually owned by the
local residents therefore incorporating their ideas, views, knowledge and memories of the place, how they
relate and interact with their heritage assets would be crucial for planning and conservation activity in the area.
This approach would also ensure ownership of the Conservation Initiatives.
Delineating the cultural heritage study area
Initially it is essential to delineate a Cultural heritage study area in the larger context of the city through field
reconnaissance for undertaking detailed research and documentation activities. The boundaries of the study
area in the beginning would be flexible so as to incorporate all the cultural assets. This study area after a
Heritage Conservation and Management Plan has been adopted would translate into a Cultural Heritage Zone
with legal sanctity.
Research and documentation of cultural historical, Religious & heritage assets
Intensive research activity and a detailed study of the historic area need to be undertaken before planning any
interventions in the Historic area. The study needs to:
Document and establish the cultural significance of the historic area
Prepare an inventory of historical, Religious & heritage structures and spaces having
Conservation values
Carry out a detailed listing and grading of all potential historical, Religious & heritage structures
and spaces
Document the existing condition of the cultural assets and the issues concerning them
Document the intangible cultural assets like traditional functions, lifestyles, religious beliefs, fairs
and festivals, etc.
This activity would bring to light the exact nature of the Cultural historical, Religious & heritage Assets, type
and typologies existing, their geographical spread, numbers and concentration. It would also highlight the
urgent issues that need to be addressed on an emergency basis to undertake first aid measures for protecting the
Heritage Assets under the guidance of Conservation specialists.
Integrating conservation with developmental initiatives
Till such time that a legal and institutional framework for conservation and redevelopment is put in place a
historical, Religious & heritage Committee needs to be formed having equal representation of all the
stakeholders and specialists in Urban Conservation, historians, artists, sociologists, environmental specialists,
planners, architects, local craftsmen, artisans, local NGOs, etc for monitoring conservation and developmental
activities in the historic area.
Until a historical, Religious & heritage Conservation and Management Plan has been prepared and adopted, all
developmental activities in the historic area need to be scrutinized by the historical, Religious & heritage
Committee to ensure that there is no threat to the Cultural Assets of the Historic area.

Community participation: integrating conservation with peoples life
The participation and the involvement of all the stakeholders especially the residents are essential to the
success of the Conservation activity and should be encouraged. Strategic partnerships need to be built through
awareness promotion campaigns, workshops and exhibitions educating stakeholders on the history, traditional
lifestyles and cultural significance of the heritage assets needs to be organized. Heritage Walks can be an
effective means for familiarizing the residents with their cultural assets. A sensitive Heritage Signage system
for the historic area can be another way of highlighting the Cultural Assets of the historic area.
Clean and green city campaigns can also be undertaken by the Nagarpalika to ensure sanitation and hygiene in
the Historic area. Local NGOs can be roped in these activities.
These activities would install a sense of pride in the residents of the Historic area, make them aware of the fact
that the Cultural Heritage Assets are substantial investments made by our previous generations and should not
be allowed to waste. Such measures will also sensitize them to the environmental value of these resources.
Reviving traditional materials, technology and skills
There is need to create a database of traditional construction methods, materials and skills that would be of use
for undertaking specific Conservation interventions. Training of local artisans in use of traditional construction
technology, skills and materials needs to be undertaken.
Incentives and concessions for heritage conservation
Fiscal incentives need to be provided to owners/occupants/trustees of heritage, Historical & religious assets to
encourage maintenance and conservation activities. Actual interventions need to be undertaken under the
guidance of conservation specialists.
Formulating a comprehensive Heritage, Religious, and Historical Conservation and management plan
Conservation of the Historic Area is an ongoing activity and is closely linked with urban and regional planning
initiatives. For the successful conservation of the historic area the Heritage, Religious, and Historical
Conservation and Management Plan with a long term perspective needs to be formulated.

8.6. EXISTING REGULATIONS
In development plan of Narsinghpur city there is a provision for conservation of heritage structures. Following
are some of the important regulations for conserving them.
Restricted area for every Heritage building shall be within a radius of 100mt.
Demolition of Selected and listed heritage structure shall not be allowed, even though it falls in
private premises.
Within restricted area infrastructure facilities are not implemented or governed by general
byelaws for the city.
Height and Elevation of Buildings within restricted area shall be harmonised with heritage
structure.

8.7. POSSIBILITY OF TOURISM CIRCUITS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL
As Narsinghpur has religious structure like narsinghpur mandir, Ram Mandir, Krishna Mandir and Jirna Kund,
it has enough potentiality to grow as a Tourist city. We can also propose lake conservation and upgradation of
the green spaces fall within the city to attract the regional tourist.

8.8. KEY ISSUES - HERITAGE
Old Mandirs are in neglected state and lacking in up gradation, restoration and maintenance.
Historically, there has been limited tradition of cultural / historic documentation of the Cultural
Assets and the region, as a result of which there very little documentation on the rich heritage of
the region.
The river Singri in Narsinghpur city is a prime heritage element over the years, it has lost its
functional relevance and scenic beauty due to neglect and lack of appreciation of its functional
and heritage value.
Changes in life style: Introduction of new functions and expansion of the old ones demanding
adequate planning and larger areas that the old structures cannot accommodate have resulted in
insensitive reuse of spaces, improper additions and alterations and even demolition of religious-
historic structures/elements.
Modern Infrastructure: Traditional infrastructure has been replaced by insensitive modern
services of water supply, electricity, and sewerage and rainwater disposal.
Developmental regulations: The development control regulations and bylaws contain little to
address the special needs of the historic assets.
Maintenance Practice: In the absence of regular maintenance practices natural process of aging of
the building materials has been aggravated and as lead to weathering and decay.
Traditional, Skills, technology and Materials: There appears to be no technical knowhow among
local artisans in the areas of conservation and traditional construction methods and materials. As
a result of which the built form is undergoing rapid modernization and the living heritage is being
lost at a rapid pace.
Peoples Perception of the Historic-Religious Area: Residents who have been living for
generations have lot of information regarding the cultural history and oral traditions of the
historic area, activity pattern and significance of spaces. While planning interventions peoples
perception of their Cultural Assets is not taken into account.
Heritage Awareness: New residents have moved into the historic area and they do not have
associations with the place, therefore there is ignorance about the cultural assets. They have not
acknowledged cultural significance, which has resulted in a substantial decline in the living
heritage.
Research and Documentation: There has been no systematic research and documentation of the
Cultural Assets, as a result of which there is lack of authentic information regarding the heritage
components in the city.
8.8.1. RIVER FRONT DEVELOPMENT/ RIVER CONSERVATION/ PROTECTION
Strategy identified Desilting, clearing encroachments, beautification, treatment facilities for
preserving rivers and the riverine system around or within the city
Expected Outcome Conservation of natural river resource; enriched and enhanced lung
spaces for the city

Under the conservation of the river Singri and lake Beautification; a sum of Rs. 200 lakhs has been allocated
as contribution by Municipal Council towards the components planned under river conservation for cleaning,
strengthening of river banks and providing for permanent treatment facilities and also including awareness
programs. The investments under the sewerage sector also benefit river conservation since it would clean the
sewerage before discharging it into the river.

9. EXISTING INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR
DEVELOPMENT


9. EXISTING INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT
9.1. URBAN LOCAL BODY STRUCTURE
Land, infrastructure, and services provide the foundation for the development of a city. Their efficient and
equitable provisioning is central to economic growth and poverty reduction. Within the general pattern
observed in country, the development and provision of land, infrastructure, and services in Narsinghpur is
regulated by a string of law, procedures and Government orders, whose administration and enforcement rest
with the state Government, city Government and specific purpose authorities. Narsinghpur is a class II
municipality with population less than one lakh as per census 2001. The Narsinghpur Municipal Council is the
key institution for the provision and management of basic urban infrastructure such as water and waste water
disposal services. Garbage disposal, citywide roads and street lighting. As per our observation and discussion
with the officials of the Municipal Council, it is been understood that there is inadequate technical staff in the
organization.

Figure 47 Organisational setup of Narsinghpur Municipal Council.

There are 6 departments in the municipality and their respective heads directly report to the chief officer,
whose responsibilities are over and above his span of control (referring to practicality and standards
prescribed in the theory of public administration). There are multiple departments that have similar job nature
and technical expertise, which could be combined with the hierarchy recognized.
In order to strengthen the system to provide efficient, quality and sustainable services, there is an immediate
requirement to take up a comprehensive study based on the service delivery requirements and revamp the
present human resource management.

9.2. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
Cohesive workforce in the ULB.
Weaknesses
1. Identify capacity building, training needs
Nagar Palika has limited institutional and technical capacity to plan and implement projects, lack of
technical capability for conceptualizing, planning and implementing city developmental works, as
also in managing them.
For present population, Nagar Palika has to upgrade their capacity with staff as well as equipment
facility for maintenance. Nagar Palika needs to put up a demand for upgrading the setup to the
Government.
2. Absence of appropriate management information system(MIS)
Most of the systems and procedures in the ULB are traditional manual systems, involving
maintenance of registers manually. Inadvertently, over time the record keeping has been inadequate
and critical information required for planning and decision-making is often not available when
required.
i
This may be attributed to shortage of manpower as also the absence of a system of
information maintenance and management.
3. Limited computerization:
Despite the availability of computers, their application is very limited, primarily due to the lack of
customized software systems as also large levels of computer illiteracy.
The human resource capacity and exposure for planning and development is limited and needs to be
strengthened.
There is also a need to streamline systems and procedures for day-to-day functioning and install a
robust management information system that facilitates efficient planning, monitoring and decision-
making.
4. Absence of a well organized Human resource (HR) development: Following should be adopted
5. Absence of E-Governance application: Presently the Nagarpalika lacks in usage of E-governance
application. Usage of these applications will help the Nagarpalika to:
a. Streamlining systems and procedures: The Nagarpalikas mainstream operations are presently
manual and at each step human intervention is involved which is time consuming and depends on
availability and capacity of the key staff.
Maintaining records on an easily retrievable form and developing an integrated database is necessary
for efficient management. There is also a felt need to streamline procedures in order to cut down
response times and for efficient service delivery.
Development of an integrated database would provide a good tool for monitoring consumer base,
licensing, taxation, and service delivery and also ensure integrated billing and collection, and
strengthen Nagarpalika revenue collection function.
b. Development of an integrated system:. Following applications have been proposed to be taken
up: Finance/accounting modules, Citizen Facilitation Centers in Wards and important places, Human
Resource Management, Material Management, Estate Management, Fleet Management and property
tax assessment.
c. Customized software application for simplifying building construction approval procedures: It
is proposed to put in place a customized software package as a tool to simplify procedure for approval
of building and sites for construction.
Nagarpalika should plan to make obtaining of construction permissions a citizen-friendly exercise,
which will encourage property owners to seek legal permissions for their intended developments. Use
of GIS and IT tools will be integrated. Nagarpalika should also propose to outsource the creation of
the Planning and Construction Dept.
6. Absence of use of latest planning tools : Presently the Nagarpalika lacks in usage of latest
planning tools like GIS based application.
7. No land bank :
Though Nagar Palika has land bank, but it is not in position to allocate site for implementing projects
for providing infrastructural facilities both engineering and social infrastructure.
8. No adherence of building regulations
Building Regulations are not strictly followed by the builders & developers, even Nagar Palika cannot
manage to control the development as they have faced problem of skilled staff.
Opportunities:
Proposal of reforms Under Government of Indias UIDSSMT TYPE FUNDING Scheme.
Government of Madhya Pradeshs policy to support urban sector.
Proximity to Jabalpur, providing greater access to training resources.
Threats:
State policies on taxation, which has a bearing on local government autonomy/lack of it.
Resistance to change by Councilors and elected representative.

Lack of emphasis on training of elected representatives as part of any municipal capacity
building program.
9.3. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING DEPT- MP
The activities of Town and Country Planning Department (T&CPD) are guided by the provisions of the
Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Niyam, 1973 (the Rules). The State Government, as per provisions
of the Rules declares a region including major urban areas and its surrounding settlements as a planning area,
and orders the preparation of a development plan for the region. The implementation responsibility of the
development plan proposals vests with the Narsinghpur Nagar Palika and the Madhya Pradesh Urban
Development Authority within their respective jurisdictions. Enforcement of development control regulations
and other guidelines vests with Narsinghpur Nagar Palika for areas within its territorial jurisdictions and with
T&CPD in the rest of the planning area. However, in case of large commercial and residential developments
within Narsinghpur Municipal Council, a no objection certificate from T&CPD is mandatory for sanctioning
building plans.

9.4. DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES
Urban Administration and Development Department With the enactment of the 74th Constitution Amendment
Act, major urban related tasks have been transferred to Local Bodies. The Government of Madhya Pradesh
(GoMP) through its Urban Administration & Development Department (UADD) is responsible for overseeing
urban sector reforms, in terms of capital investment in basic infrastructure for the Urban Local Bodies
(ULBs). The UADD is also responsible for implementation of various public welfare schemes sponsored by
the Central and State Governments. Some such schemes include Conversion of Dry Latrine Program, Swarna
Jayanti Urban Employment Scheme, National Slum Development Program, Social Security Group Insurance
Scheme, Janashr Insurance Scheme etc. These schemes are implemented through the District Urban
Development Agency. Being the parent organization of Municipal Corporations, UADD monitors the
functioning of all municipal corporations in the state.

9.5. PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Public Health Engineering Department PHED has been given the responsibility of planning, design and
construction of the water supply, sewerage and drainage projects of the municipal corporations (MC) since
1995. Under this arrangement, the financial and administrative sanction for a project comes from the PHED.
The assets, however, have to be transferred to the MC on completion for operation and maintenance. Though,
the PHED staffs works under tile functional control of the MC, their administrative control remains with the
PHED. PHED Executive Engineers office situated at Narsinghpur having total staff of 45 out of which 1
Executive engineer, 3 Assistant Engineer, 1 Divisional Officer, 17 Sub Engineer and Other non technical Staff.

9.6. MADHYA PRADESH HOUSING BOARD
Madhya Pradesh Housing Board (MPHB) falls under the administrative and functional control of the Housing
and Environment Department of GoMP. The operations of the Board are governed by the provisions of the
Madhya Pradesh Housing Board Act, 1972. Although MPHB is a semi-governmental organization, GoMP
rules and regulations pertaining to establishment and administrative matters are applicable to it.

9.7. MADHYA PRADESH POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Implementation, supervision and monitoring activities pertaining to Central Pollution Control Acts and Rules
vests with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Government of India, and the respective State
Pollution Control Boards formed/constituted under its rules. Madhya Pradesh State Pollution Control Board
(MPPCB) headquartered in the state capital, Bhopal, carries out its operations through ten regional offices,
each located at the divisional headquarters, 4 sub regional office, 2 monitoring centers and 3 single window
offices. The main function of the regional offices is to monitor the implementation of provisions of various
Acts governing pollution control and prevention.

9.8. PROJECTS IDENTIFIED:

9.10. ACTION PLAN
A) Identify capacity building, training needs: for present population, nagar palika has to upgrade their
capacity with staff as well as equipment facility for maintenance. Nagar palika needs to put up a
demand for upgrading the setup to the government.
B) Adoption of MIS system: there is also a need to streamline systems and procedures for day-to-day
functioning and install a robust management information system that facilitates efficient planning,
monitoring and decision- making.
C) Formulation of a HR policy
Nagarpalika should draft and adopt a comprehensive hr policy that addressed key human resource
development elements like hr maintenance, rewards and incentives, training and development,
recruitment systems, career planning, etc.
A. HR MAINTENANCE: Rationalization of recruitment systems, policy and plan for addressing the
daily-wage workforce, including mechanisms for regularizing/terminating their services, cohesive functional
structures with detailed staffing patterns and job descriptions, prompt filling up gaps arising out of retirements /
resignations, continuous manpower planning to ensure availability of desired quantity and quality of manpower
for various functional departments, etc.
B. HR PRODUCTIVITY: Preparing and implementing a mechanism for performance assessment and
performance-based rewards and incentives. The policy for rewards and incentives could consider factors of
performance, initiatives, commitment, training/capacity building initiatives and target achievements, etc. The
focus of such a mechanism/policy could ensure employee satisfaction and enhance productivity.
C. RIGHT-SIZING: Adopting multi-skilling technique to ensure most effective utilization of
Nagarpalika staff and to achieve the objective of right sizing. A multi-skilling technique through appropriate
training of existing staff for different complementary functions would help in better utilization of Nagarpalika
staff and achieving the objective of right sizing.
d) Training/Capacity Building
The Nagarpalika staff and elected members alike need to be exposed on a continuous basis to modern /
alternate methods of planning and development. The strategy for training and capacity building should cover:
a. Carrying out a detailed training needs assessment to address reorganization and restructuring
based on Nagarpalikas functional requirements, considering current staff qualifications, skills and
exposure at all levels;
b. Structuring and implementing a change management orientation program for all levels of
Nagarpalika staff and convincing them of the need for change and hence need for relevant training
and capacity building. The program could highlight challenges that the Nagarpalika is likely to face
in the near term in terms of knowledge and skill gaps at different levels, demands of the reforms
process, functional mechanism, etc.;
c. Developing comprehensive training programs for different levels of Nagarpalika staff and
elected councillors, strategically addressing skills/knowledge enhancement needs of the
Nagarpalikas.
e) Streamlining systems and procedures by adoption of E-governance
The Nagarpalikas mainstream operations are presently manual and at each step human intervention is
involved which is time consuming and depends on availability and capacity of the key staff.
1. Maintaining records on an easily retrievable form and developing an integrated database is necessary
for efficient management. There is also a felt need to streamline procedures in order to cut down
response times and for efficient service delivery.
2. Development of an integrated database would provide a good tool for monitoring consumer base,
licensing, taxation, and service delivery and also ensure integrated billing and collection, and
strengthen Nagarpalika revenue collection function.
3. Development of an integrated system:. Following applications have been proposed to be taken up:
Finance/accounting modules, Citizen Facilitation Centers in Wards and important places, Human
Resource Management, Material Management, Estate Management, Fleet Management and property
tax assessment.
4. Customized software application for simplifying building construction approval procedures: It is
proposed to put in place a customized software package as a tool to simplify procedure for approval of
building and sites for construction.
5. Nagarpalika should plan to make obtaining of construction permissions a citizen-friendly exercise,
which will encourage property owners to seek legal permissions for their intended developments. Use
of GIS and IT tools will be integrated. Nagarpalika should also propose to outsource the creation of
the Planning and Construction Dept.
f) Development of GIS based application:
GIS based application should be proposed for land use management and property tax assessment. GIS
should be proposed as a decision support tool for planning, managing and maintaining local body or
Nagarpalika. It includes both spatial and aspatial information required for facility/assets management,
tax assessment and collection, solid waste disposal and management of grant of plan
approvals/permissions with customized tools.
a. Assessment of land use patterns
b. Assessment of property tax
c. Assessment of land use / floor space index violation
d. Assessment of ownership change / sales transaction
e. Analyze a property for grant of approval / permission

10. MUNICIPAL FINANCE


10. MUNICIPAL FINANCE
The first step in analyzing the financial position of Municipality is to differentiate and categorize the account
heads into revenue account and capital account through a budget recasting exercise. For the purpose of
financial assessment, financial data pertaining to the last five years (2003-04 to 2007-08) have been recast into
a standard format, as presented in Annexure 2.

I: Sourcing

II: Assessment

III: Analysis

Municipal Council current accounting system is cash-based; income and expenditure heads are maintained on a
cash basis. All the expenses towards regular maintenance are treated as revenue expenses, while expenses on
new projects are treated as capital expenses.
The Municipal Council accounts can be classified under two major heads, revenue account and capital account.
The revenue sources of the Municipal Council may be broadly classified as internal or operating income and
external receipts. Internal income includes receipts from the operations of the Municipal Council, in the form
of taxes, water and Conservancy charges and fees and charges on other services etc.. General heads of internal
sources are:
General tax and other taxes levied by the Nagar Palika such as property tax, Water tax and
Entertainment tax.
Income from properties rent receipts from lands, buildings, and other properties
Income from municipal services such as receipts from services Education, health and hospital,
public health, etc.
Miscellaneous income heads such as income from investments and sale proceeds
External fund sources include revenue grants from State and Central Government, loans and contributions for
projects.
Expenditure incurred towards establishment, operation and maintenance of services, as well as repayment of
loans are treated as revenue expenditure. Expenditure on asset creation and investments in new projects or
purchase of equipment are treated as capital expenditure.
Advances, deposits and any item of income or expenditure, which is temporary in nature is treated and
accounted for under the extraordinary account. This account head is not analysed as the items in it are
temporary in nature and have no impact on the overall financial position of Nagar Palika.
10.1. FINANCIAL STATUS
The municipal finances of the Nagar Palika have been reviewed for the last five years, commencing
from the financial year 2003-04 to 2007-08. The items of both receipts and expenditure are classified
under revenue and capital accounts as per their sources and uses.

percent of the arrear in demand. The current Collection for the year 2008-09 is Rs. 21.33 lakhs, which works
out to an average of Rs. 19(Appox.) user charge, per connection per month. The number of persons per house
service connection stands around 8, against an average household size of 6.12, indicating scope for the
presence of unauthorized connections.

The presence of unauthorized connections is also signified by the poor cost recovery on the service. It is
assessed that the average revenue per connection per month is about Rs. 10 against an average expenditure of
Rs. 25 indicating less than 50% of total expenditure tax incurred upon the users. Ideally, the entire operation &
maintenance (O&M) expenses are expected to be recovered in the form of user charges.

10.6. SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths
Availability of loans to undertake projects.
System of taxation and willingness to pay for services
Weaknesses
Nagar Palika is highly dependent on the grants received from Government.
Nagar Palika is also facing problem of tax recovery on total demand against service provided.
The cost recovery on water supply service is very poor, indicating the large quantum of non-
revenue water in the form of unauthorised connections, subsidized water, etc.
Because of no permanent & planned sewerage disposal facility, tax collection is negligible.
Due to unavailability of proper infrastructure Nagar Palika is not in position to perform
effectively and efficiently.
Total establishment cost of Nagar Palika is quite high against total income/revenue received from
various sources.
Opportunities:
Sustainability of the Nagarpalika to be increased after 100% cost recovery is achieved.
Increase in own source income after taxation is levied.
Threats:
Inefficiency in collection of taxes.

To tackle and control natural disaster and critical situation citizens, community participation &
infrastructure should be made available in the Town.
Municipal Council, as part of its strategy to build in-house capacity, to train the existing
manpower resource through training programs and workshops. Staff to be rotated inter-
department in order to promote in multi-skilling and team building.
Billing system should be implemented for Tax collection
Lands belong to Govt. or Parastatal agencies should be transferred to Nagar Palika, which can be
used for Public Purpose and Public utilities.

Adoption of a modern accrual-based double-entry system of accounting
As part of the adoption of a modern accrual based double entry system of accounting, the Municipal Council
needs to implement the following actions and generate balance sheets:
Complete audit formalities for all previous years
Prepare accounting manual based on the National Municipal Accounting Manual (NMAM)
Implement function and accounting codes
Develop computer program for the double entry accounting system
Record and value all fixed and flexible assets and liabilities.

Educate Municipal Council staff for accurate account coding as per National Municipal
Accounting Manual (NMAM) for the preparation of the balance sheet and the budget.
Introduction of a system of e-Governance using IT applications such as GIS and MIS for various services
provided
E-Governance is an opportunity to transform the Municipal Councils commitment to be
citizen- centric, provide cost-effective services and enhance governance through improved
access to accurate information and transparent and responsive democratic institutions. Thus
e-Governance is no longer an experiment in administrative reform, but a permanent part of
the governing process. For both government organizations and citizens, its advantages are
far-reaching in comparison to investment in establishing e-Governance. The objectives of e-
Governance reforms are:
Promote people-centric administration Common citizens should get the benefits of the
System of accurate billing.
Move from process accountability to productivity accountability and from transactional to
transformative governance The process should be computerized to increase productivity.
Each department of the Municipal Council has reports, giving the exact statistics of how
accountability will be achieved through the system.
Reduce delays and ensure promptness in delivery of services Computerization would
ensure timely delivery of accurate service.
E-Administration Improve administrative processes by cutting cost, managing
performance, making strategic connections within the local bodies and creating
Empowerment.
E-Citizen and EServices connect citizens to the local government by talking to citizens
and supporting accountability; by listening to citizens and supporting democracy; and by
improving public services.
The Municipal Council needs to plan for e-Governance and extend this facility to all citizens
through citizen facilitations centre (CFC) which could provide the following services:
Registration of births and deaths
Public grievance redressal as part of an interactive web site and also at CFCs
Property tax payments through CFC
Works Management System and E-Procurement
Fully computerized pay roll and pension system
Fully automated building plan permissions
Document Management System
GIS-based property tax and overall GIS for engineering, water supply and other services

Property tax on GIS platform and proposed achievement of collection efficiency of at least 85%
Certain reforms in property taxes with the broad objective of establishing a simple, transparent,
non-discretionary and equitable property tax to encourage voluntary compliance; the same is to
be brought under the GIS platform. With regard to reforms in the property tax system, the first
step is to introduce property tax. In this regard, Municipal Council needs to carry out the
following actions:
Draft bylaws and rules for the implementation of property tax
Boards Resolution for the implementation of property tax
Identify the system of property tax (capital, area-based unit rate, etc.)
Institute house tax assessment system (self- assessment or by Municipal Council)
Prepare the inventory of house tax assessments
Map all the properties on the GIS platform
Levy of reasonable user charges by Municipal Council for all services to recover full cost of O&M
The levy of user charges on different municipal services, with the objective of securing effective
linkages between asset creation and asset maintenance and ultimately leading to the self-
sustaining delivery of urban services.
Water Supply: Municipal Council currently levies water tariff. The collection performance is
very poor about 36.22% of total demand. Hence, Municipal Council needs to revise the tariff to
achieve full cost recovery and a collection performance should be above 90%.
Sewerage: No charge or tax is levied for Sewerage by the Municipal Council; disposal of Waste water is done
through road side open Nallha, Municipal Council needs to plan organized underground sewerage system.
Solid Waste Management: Street light and Sanitation tax is collected through combine tax on Service
delivery for solid waste disposal. No separate charge or tax is levied for solid waste management. Municipal
Council needs to introduce Door to Door collection with PPP model and scientific disposal as part of this
reform need to be implemented.
Internal earmarking within Municipal Council budgets for basic services to the urban poor and provision of
basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices
To endorses the provision of basic services to the urban poor with the objective of providing security of tenure
at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply and sanitation. In addition, delivery of other existing
universal services of the government for education, health and social security will be ensured. In this regard,
Municipal Council needs to earmark a fixed percentage of funds (In proportion of urban poor); Municipal
Council also needs to provide access to basic minimum services to all urban poor citizens.

11.3. OPTIONAL REFORMS
There are seven optional reforms identified that a Municipal Council needs to implement to be eligible under
Scheme. Ideally, the Municipal Council should implement at least two reforms each year. The specific items
under each reform, which Municipal Council needs to implement, are listed below. The difference between the
mandatory and optional reforms exists only in terms of the initiation of the reform. All mandatory reforms
need to be started immediately, whereas of the optional reforms, Municipal Council is free to initiate any two
reforms every year:
1. Revision of bylaws to streamline the approval process for construction of buildings, development
of site, etc.
2. Earmarking of at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing projects (both public and private
agencies) for EWS and LIG category with a system of cross subsidization.
3. Revision of bylaws to make rain-water harvesting mandatory in all buildings and adoption of
water conservation measures
4. Framing of bylaws for reuse of recycled water
5. Administrative reforms, i.e., reduction in establishment costs by adopting the Voluntary
Retirement Scheme (VRS), not filling posts falling vacant due to retirement, etc., and achieving
specified milestones in this regard
6. Structural reforms like decentralisation of functions at ward level
7. Encouraging PPP -- With regard to private sector participation, the following activities can be
considered: door-to- door collection, maintenance of water supply operations, underground
sewerage system, treatment plant operations, disposal and land fill site operations, citizen
facilitation centre.

12. CITY INVESTMENT PLAN AND
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY


12. CITY INVESTMENT PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
City Investment Plan as align with the identified vision for Narsinghpur town has been prepared through a
comprehensive process of assessment of gaps in the physical and social infrastructure sectors. This assessment
has also led to the identification of sector-specific strategies, implementation actions and associated reforms
with specific inputs from stakeholders. The strategies adopted primarily have three dimensions
Improving service delivery by efficiency measures
Improving service delivery by creating infrastructure assets
Improving the governance aspects of the Municipal Council.
This section summarises the capital investments required for creating infrastructure assets and various strategic
interventions required in the implementation of such projects; these strategies are both investment-oriented and
administration-oriented.

12.1. CITY INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP)
The City Investment Plan is the multi-year scheduling of identified and prioritized investments. The scheduling
or phasing of the Plan is based on studies of fiscal resources availability (for new investments and O&M),
technical capacity for construction and O&M, and the choice of specific improvements to be carried out for a
period of five years.
The CIP is needed for:
Realisation of city growth and meeting of infrastructure needs (to be carried out once every five
years)
Scheduling of investments of ongoing projects due to cost and/ or time overruns
Assigning of priorities within the constraints of available financial resources

12.2. INSTITUTIONALISING THE CIP PROCESS
The City Investment Plan is an important element of the CDP and is significant in terms of the towns
management process and sustainability with regard to the delivery of basic services. The CIP also provides a
framework for the annual budget cycle of Municipal Council for the future 5 year period. As a part of the
Narsinghpur CDP, the CIP prepared includes the following:
Desired norms and standards for infrastructure services;
Roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the implementation of identified projects
Project phasing and strategies for implementation.
In Narsinghpur Municipal Council is the primary agency responsible for delivering municipal services and
hence the CDP proposals ought to be implemented by Municipal Council. The project prioritization,
investment phasing, strategies and action plan are framed accordingly.
The CIP involved the identification of public capital facilities to cater the demands of the city populace by the
year 2015, 2025 and 2035 according to their short, medium and long-term infrastructure needs. The project
identification has been done through a demand-gap analysis of the services and DPRs available with the
Municipal Council. Further, project prioritization and strategizing of the investments/ phasing of investment
are based on strategies, listed under each service sector as identified through stakeholder consultations. The
projects derived are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilization of existing infrastructure systems
and enhancing the capacity of the systems/ services to cater the demands of future population additions.
Certain other projects listed as part of the CIP include developmental projects other than those addressing the
core service sectors viz. system modernization, etc.
The CIP and the forecasted future needs for provision of capital facilities under each identified sector are
presented below. These assets will help Narsinghpur City to universalize services for the current population as
well as accommodate the expected increase in population. In sectors where long-term planning is required (for
example, source development for water supply and development of landfill site etc.), the planning horizon till
the year 2035 is considered. Assets created in such sectors consider the projected population in respective
horizon year.

12.3. SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS
The total estimated capital investment required for providing efficient services to the present population and
future population of Narsinghpur by the year 2035 is Rs. 275.11 crores at constant prices.
Table 62 Capital Investments
Sr No Investment Head (Agency/ Period) Rs. crores
1 Total investment Need of Narsinghpur 275.16
2 Total investment need of Narsinghpur by 2015 120.24

The planning horizon for core service sectors of water supply, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management,
land use/development planning, basic service to Urban Poor and other projects is 2035. Hence, only a part of
the identified investment is proposed for funding by 2015. Narsinghpur will need to plan for the remaining
identified investment to be funded beyond 2015 but before 2021.
The table below presents the summary of sector-wise total investment needs and investments up to 2015

13. INVESTMENT CAPACITY AND SUSTENANCE
OF MUNICIPAL COUNCIL


13. INVESTMENT CAPACITY AND SUSTENANCE OF Municipal Council.
Under a Business As Usual scenario, the municipal councils existing revenue surplus is not being utilized
effectively due to the various reasons viz. lack of an integrated approach to town development, inability to
identify the priority sector for investment, inability to raise the required finances for funding and inability to
tap into other sources of funds due to lack of a comprehensive FOP.
Gadarwara Municipal Council Financial Operating Plan is the forecast of the finances for the period starting
2010-2011 to 2034-2035. The bases for assumptions in the FOP are the projections for revenue receipts and
expenditure. These projections are essentially based upon an analysis of past trends and upon volume and
standard of delivery of service/efficiency expected in the future. The plan has been generated to assess the
capacity of the council for investment sustainability. The total investments have been phased out from the FY
2010-2011 to 2034-2035 for which the funding pattern has been worked out as given in the City Investment
Plan.
Gadarwara Municipal Council would acquire to make capital investment amounting to Rs.150.83 Crores. As
the city intends to adopt a service delivery approaches i.e. Integrating asset creation with management and
financing during its lifespan so that intended service is fully sustainable. The municipal council has adopted
certain budgetary reforms and tried to reflect its principles and programmes through the budget which is
helping the municipal council in measuring and promoting accountability in respect of service delivery. The
holistic approach of adopting a logical framework in which the outcome has been related with the performance
of various item will help the city in any deviation during the implementation of the CDP and the deferring of
the finance mobilization.
On a modest scale public and private sector participation needs to be increased through variety of forms in the
city of Gadarwara. The CDP is proposing structuring a policy of private sector participation in urban
infrastructure. To overcome the problems experienced in delivery and expansion of infrastructure services.
Gadarwara Municipal Council intends to adopt a service delivery reform approach wherein the municipal
council is structuring a policy of private sector participation in urban infrastructure with the following
objectives:
Delivery of services with accountability for the standard of services
Efficiency in operations and management
Augmenting public resources for investments in creation of new assets for expanding the services

Hence Gadarwara municipal council intends to promote the following types of private sector participation in
the city:
Contracting out operations and maintenance with performance related accountability.
Management contracts including rights of billing and collecting user fees.
Creation of new assets and their management through Public Private Partnership (PPP) for limited
projects
Corporatization of municipal services where independent revenue stream is available through user
fees.

The cost recovery mechanism for various sectors is mentioned below:
No Reforms Cost recovery mechanism
1 Water Supply
Water tax, connection charges, meter
charges for non residential and residential
use, road reinstatement charges, revision
of tariff
2 Solid Waste Management
Charges for door to door waste collection,
bio medical waste from hospitals and
nursing homes, conservancy charges,

3 Sewerage

5 Roads and Street lighting
vehical tax, road reinstatement charges,

6 Education Education Cess
7 Parks, open spaces and Playgrounds
User fees, outlets and kiosks for
commercial activities

The project funding structure comprises grants under the UIDSSMT framework (accounting for 90 percent of
the funding) internal resources and loans. The level of investment that Gadarwara can sustain is determined
by studying the overall surpluses/year-to-year opening balance and debt service coverage ratio
(DSCR=Net Operating Income/Total Debt Service). If the debt service coverage ratio (amount of surplus
available to pay interest and to repay principal that is due) falls below 1.25 (i.e. less than 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:
Categories of FOP Projections

Octroi, Taxes, Non Tax Sources, and
Grants, Contribution and Subsidies
Revenue Account Expenditure:

Capital Expenditure

13.1. FINANCING STRATEGIES FOR THE CIP
Municipal Council plans to raise resources and fund the CIP through:
Grants available under the UIDSSMT type funding Framework (as percentage of investment proposed for
funding by 2015 in urban governance and the infrastructure sectors - 80% Central Govt. grants and 10% State
Govt. grants) Available internal resources and improving upon the same by:
Revision of the Annual Rateable Value at certain levels
Revision of water and sewerage charges at specific intervals
Maintenance of the collection performance of taxes and charges at certain minimum levels for
current and for arrears
Borrowings

13.2. FINANCE PROJECTIONS
Current revenue sources 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. Part of the surplus, after meeting the
additional O&M expenses on newly created assets and infrastructure, is translated into debt size and project
size (grant component plus debt component) based on certain assumptions regarding interest rate, repayment
method and loan-grant mix.
A spreadsheet FOP model has been customised to depict the financial position of Municipal Council and the
investment-sustaining capacity of Municipal Council has been assessed based on the FOP assumptions. The
model was used to calculate future surpluses under various scenarios involving combinations of internal
revenue improvement, state support, financing terms, etc.

13.2.1. 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
UIDSSMT type funding framework are presented below. The detailed assumptions and workings are presented
in table below.

13.3. INVESTMENT CAPACITY/SUSTENANCE
Given the existing financial position of Municipal Council, the revenue and capital accounts of Municipal
Council are projected against the growth scenario and assumptions presented above. The FOP is generated
from the sustainable investment point of view in line with current growth trends against the identified
investment of Rs. 120 crores at constant prices till 2015. The results of the FOP are presented in Annexure 4
and the same is summarised below.

Proposed New CIP

Municipal Council receipts are expected to be 33.98 crores by 2015 under the projection scenario. The revenue
improvement and expenditure control measures, coupled with the availability of grants under the UIDSSMT
type funding framework, takes the investment capacity of Municipal Council to Rs. 12.66 crores over the
next five years against an investment need of 120 crores by 2015. Thus the investment sustenance capacity
of Municipal Council is 10% of identified need.
13.3.1. IMPACT OF UIDSSMT TYPE FUNDING TYPE FUNDING REFORMS ON INVESTMENT
CAPACITY
The impact of various revenue improvement and expenditure control measures are assessed in terms of
contribution/ addition to this base investment capacity. The own sources (income from Taxes) of Municipal
Council can contribute 28% of total investment need by 2015.
It may also be understood that reforms in service delivery and introducing privatization are the prime
requirements for Municipal Council to position itself as a better governed and financially sound Corporation.
And availability of UIDSSMT type funding type funding grants and associated reforms in various sectors
(property tax revenue enhancement, cost recovery on services, energy efficiency measures, improving
governance aspects etc) are observed to contribute significantly to the base investment capacity.
13.3.2. FUNDING PATTERN
For the investment identified by 2015 of Municipal Council of Rs. 120.24 crores at constant prices, the funding
pattern as worked out in the FOP model is:

Municipal Finance (Arrears and Demand)
Above mentioned three aspects should be considered to make water supply system self
sustainable. It is very essential for any municipality to recover capital cost and operations
maintenance cost from users. This will lead to better self sustainability, good Governance
and less dependency on any kind of grants. Targeted collection of arrears and demand
assessment will lead to better funding opportunities for future development.

2.1 Operation and Maintenance
Examining the previous calculation of O & M cost per Mld, forecasting has been done for
the year 2015. In 2008, around 2.8 lacs O & M cost have been spent to supply 1 million liter
per day (MLD) of water. Keeping the base of this expenditure, tentative future O & M cost
in 2015 has been calculated (below in table 3) to supply 12.08 MLD of water.
Table 21: Forecast of O & M cost in 2015

1 Water Supply in 2008 mld 3.75
2 O & M in 2008 Rs 1,056,935

4 Water Supply in 2015 mld 12.08
5 O & M Cost Rs 3,404,740
Forecast
Forecast for O&M Cost for 2015

Preparing the best case scenario, some targets have been derived. The same are mentioned
under:
1. 100% HH (as per requirement on 2015) have connections
2. 100% non residential (considering 20% of residential connections) have connections
3. Arrear collection should be completed by 2015
4. Collection demand will reach to O & M cost by 2015
5. Inflation Rate is considered as 8%
6. Water tax will increase at up to 25% in every 3 years as per change in O & M cost
7. Linear regression has been considered which can vary than the actual

Above mentioned table shows:
1. Linear regressive increase in total operations maintenance cost
2. Linear regressive target to achieve 100% connection by 2015. This can be targeted
according to the housing demand each year.
3. Per connection water tax has been calculated considering expected total o & m, total no
of connection and 8% inflation.
2.2 Capital Cost
To cater the population in 2015, capital investment of around 911 lacs is needed. Linear
regression of the same is explained below in table 5. Total Capital expenditure has divided
into no of total connection expected in 2015. Two options have been evaluated to collect the
same revenue by 2015.
1. One time charge of 4458 Rs in 2015.
2. Every year collection
Considering the acceptance level of people, second option seems more viable. This option is
being worked out in detail below (table 5).

2.3 Municipal Finance (Arrears and Demand)
Municipal finance is being a major issue in present to make municipality self sustainable. As
per the target, collection of arrears should be nil. Linear regression has shown below in table
6. It is very essential to make collection demand same as operation maintenance by 2015.
Target figures as per year demand has been established and shown in table below.

3. Finance of Property Tax
A property rate has to be decided as the development grows in the city on timely bases. To
reach the highest self sustainability, arrear recovery should reach to minimal on 2015.
Demand by 2015 should reach to actual. Linear regression for the same has shown below in
table 7. From the demand of collection and number of households, per unit taxable amount
can be revised which should be inflated every year as per market rate. Considering the
present scenario, inflation rate has taken as 8% which can vary accordingly as per market
rate.

4. Finance of Sewerage and Solid waste Management
At present, city does not have sewerage system or solid waste management systems. It is
essential to set up the system first and incurred the capital expenditure on prior bases from
any grants or in house capabilities. Next stage is to analysis the operation maintenance
cost and all the aspects of it. Based on this procedure, every detail has to be marked and
noticed. It is essential to lay taxes as well as charges based on this analysis. The same above
procedure has to be followed to determine the charges as well as per household taxes.
