places of historical importance. Some of them are Bahoriband, Tigavan, Vijaraghavgarh, Roopnath,
Bilhary, Jhinjhari, etc

Katni derives its importance from the following aspects:

One of the largest Railway junctions
Location in the Mineral Belt
Gateway to numerous Tourist Places
Railways: Biggest Diesel loco shed of Indian railways
Railways: Biggest Wagon Repairs Shop

Presently, Katni city is spread in an area of 69.93 Sq.km. The city is divided into 45 administrative
wards. As per Census 2001, the population of Katni is estimated to be 1.87 lakhs. Katni city is well
connected by Roads, with National Highway 7, National Highway 78, State Highway 10 and State
Highway 14 being the major connecting roads.

Strengths
1. Locational advantage as Katni is well
connected by Roads and Railways
2. Located in the heart of rich Mineral and
Agricultural Belt
3. Proximity to several tourist places
4. Proximity to a water source
5. Katni boasts a strong natural drainage
network
Weaknesses
1. The areas where the initial settlements
were concentrated are now densely
Opportunities
1. Further exploring the possibility of developing
Katni as a Transportation and Logistics Hub
2. Physical Infrastructure development in the old city
area.
3. Development of an integrated SWD system for an
effective utilization of City’s natural drains
4. Development of good Hospitality institutions
supported by necessary promotional initiatives
can help in actualizing Katni’s Tourism potential
Threats
1. Underdeveloped physical infrastructure in certain
areas can have an adverse impact on service

 populated which act as impediments to the
infrastructure development/upgradation in
these areas.
2. Presence of significant Railway
infrastructure within Katni city act as a
deterrent to the intra-city road connectivity
and infrastructure development/upgradation.
3. Presence of several low lying areas cause
stagnation of storm water
4. Lack of good Hospitality institutions
levels of entire city
2. Unregulated growth of slum areas
3. Katni city has around 16 abandoned mines which
have been the sites of various accidents.
4. Though, aspects such as connectivity, availability
of raw materials, etc provides Katni an opportunity
for economic development, lack of initiatives to tap
this potential would be hazardous to Katni’s
economy.

City Profile
The population of Katni has grown by a tremendous margin in the past three decades. A snapshot of
Katni’s population growth trend is provided in Table below.

Year Population Decadal Change (Number) Decadal Growth Rate (%)

1971 86,335 - -
1981 1,23,017 36,682 42.2

Source: Town Directory, Census of India. 2001
Unexpectedly high population growth rate of Katni in the previous decades can be attributed to a mix
of following aspects:
1. Increase in the mining activities in the surrounding areas.
2. Founding of various mineral based industries.
3. Development of Katni as a major Railway hub.
4. Host to the biggest agricultural market of the region.

Despite a high decadal population growth rate Katni’s population growth rate has come down from
42.2 percent to 14.5 percent. This reduction in Population growth rate can be attributed to:
1. Saturation of basic services provided by Katni Municipal Corporation
2. Development of alternate urban centers in the vicinity of the town
3. Awareness generated from population control programmes
4. Migration from Katni to other towns equipped with better facilities and employment opportunities.

As per the Population Projections, the population of Katni is expected to reach a level of 2,19,705 by
year 2011 and 2,31,932, 2,65,560, and 3,04,063 by years 2015, 2025 and 2035 respectively.

Katni has a literacy rate of 82.4% and Sex-ratio of 912. A classification of various wards as per their
literacy rates is provided below.

Spatial Growth

Trends
Till 1867, Katni, erstwhile Mudwara, was just another village on the bank of River Katni. With the
commissioning of Jabalpur-Allahabad Railway line in 1867 and subsequent developments along the
th
Railway line, the settlement transformed itself from Mudwara village to Katni town. In the 19 century,
human settlements were mainly concentrated near Azad Chowk and Purani basti. Azad Cowk was
close to the Katni River and famous Jalapa Dev i Temple. Subsequently, in the initial decades of this
century, city began to grow towards Mission Chowk, Jhannda Chowk, Gol Bazaar and Ghantaghar.
Post independence, Katni saw huge inflow of migrants from other parts of the country. A majority of
these migrants settled in the area, now, known as Madhav Nagar. This gave a new direction to the
spatial growth of city’s limit. In the recent times, Katni has seen development of Nayi Basti, Shanti
nagar and other human settlements along the Jabalpur Railway line and National Highway 7.

Population Distribution
An important observation is that that the higher density wards are concentrated near the city centre
and Railway network. The lower density wards are mainly the peripheral wards. However, some of the
lower density wards are located near the railway lines and hence have a potential for future growth.
The low population density in these wards can be attributed to the presence of large open spaces and
vacant land. Most of the wards adjoining NH 7 and close to the city centre have comparatively higher
population densities. Also, some of the wards located in the South-Western part of the city have high
population densities. This can be attributed to their proximity to the mining areas of the Western part
of the city.

Land Use
The existing land use pattern of Katni shows that a major portion of the total area of the Municipal
Corporation and Planning Area is under agriculture. Agriculture constitutes about 65.71% of the
Planning area and only 12% of the Planning area is developed. Among all kinds of land use
categories, land under residential is around 40% of the developed area. Also a very high percentage
of the land under the Transportation land use category (30.28%) can be attributed to the dense rail
and road network.

Future Growth Possibilities

The wards, with lower densities, offer some possible locations for future development in the city. A
critical observation reveals that growth could also be directed to the low density wards, namely Ward
No. 18, 35, 28 and 38, located near the city centre. Ward No. 29 which is close to the Railway lines
and National Highway-7 can also acts a site for potential future development.

In the Katni Master Plan, some of key proposals are Transport Nagar and augmentation of Industrial
estate in the north of the city. Hence, Ward No. 1, 2, 4, and 10 located in the north of the city can be
developed as the future residential areas.

Broad Actions to achieve the City Vision and Sector Goals.
Katni’s ability to improve on its financial performance hinges primarily on its ability to sustain and
improve on the revenue growth noticeable in recent years.
1. Conduct a zero-base assessment of skill gaps and manpower needs of ULBs to ascertain the
appropriate manpower plan in terms of skill sets and experience/seniority. This is particularly
relevant given the recent developments, specifically in urban planning and GIS, municipal
accounting and systems, e-governance and modern practices in infrastructure service
delivery including potential for Public-Private Partnerships.
2. Address critical operational areas through focused training and capacity building
interventions, particularly in the areas of a) Engineering and project development, b)
Accounting and Finance and c) Use of CAD/GIS applications in Town Planning and
Engineering functions.
3. Develop / enforce technical standards with specific applicability to development of municipal
projects.
4. Katni could increase its own income to by FY ending 2015 through focused interventions in
the following areas..
a. Property tax: – through revision in ARV, widening assessee base and closer scrutiny.
b. Export tax – By providing suitable environment for industries to flourish.
c. User charges – through increased penetration of water connections and new sewerage
connections could potentially triple user charges income from the current levels.
d. NGOs / Corporate participation - Intensify focus on attracting NGOs/advertising revenue
for city beautification projects to reduce reliance on grants for such projects.

Financial and Operating Plan and Investment Capacity

Given the existing financial position of Katni Nagar Nigam, the revenue and capital accounts are
projected against the growth scenario and assumptions presented above. The City Investment Plan
(CIP) prepared in the previous chapter shows that the total investment required to develop Katni City
is Rs. 428.99 crore at constant prices till 2015 (of the total Rs. 708.38 crore investment identified
for funding till 2035). It includes about Rs. 80.99 crore towards Education and Health sector, which
are not provided by Nagar Nigam. Hence for FOP is generated from the sustainable investment point
of view in line with current growth trends against the identified investment for Nagar Nigam of Rs. 348
crore at constant prices till 2015, which excludes investment required for Health and Education
sector.

Base Investment Capacity

Base Investment Capacity is estimated considering business as usual case, where Katni Nagar
Nigam has not taken any grant under UIDSSMT scheme and has not done any reforms to increase
their revenue income. At this scenario Nagar Nigam will be able to sustain only 32.5 % of the total
investment identified for year 2015, which is about Rs. 113 crore at constant price and Rs. 137 crore
at current price.

Scenario 1: With reforms in Property Tax, Water Charges and Sewerage charges
This case assumes the reforms in property tax, Water and Sewerage have been implemented and
accordingly the investment capacity has increased by Rs. 12.88 crore above the base investment
capacity. These reforms will increase the total sustainable capacity to 36.2%.

City Development Plan –– Katni Municipal Corporation xix

Scenario 2: Reforms and UIDSSMT grants along without debt Funding
This case assumes that all the reforms suggested above are being implemented and UIDSSMT
grants are also availed. In this scenario Nagar Nigam’s sustainable capacity will increase to 61.2%,
which is 25% in addition to scenario 1. Now Nagar Nigam will be able to sustain investment of about
Rs. 213 crore at constant price and Rs. 258 crore at current price.

Scenario 3: Reforms and UIDSSMT grants along with debt Funding

This case assumes that Nagar Nigam can increase their sustainable capacity by taking debt from any
financial institution or private banks in addition to the implementation of reforms suggested above and
grants under with UIDSSMT grants. In this scenario can sustain up to 64.8% of the total investment
identified, which is 3.6% more than without debt funding scenario. Now Nagar Nigam will be able to
sustain investment of about Rs. 225.5 crore at constant price and Rs. 272.93 crore at current price.

CIP Funding Pattern

% of Total
S. No Mode of Funding Source Amount (Rs. Crore)
Investment
Katni Nagar Nigam
Total Identified Investment till 2015 (current price) 518.77
Investment by Nagar Nigam (current price) 421.19 100
Sustainable Investment till 2015 (constant price) 225.50 64.8
Sustainable Investment (current) 272.93
1 Grants UIDSSMT 244.75 90
2 Loans Open Market/ FIs 5.06 2
3 Own sources Nagar Nigam 23.12 8

From the above analysis, it is very clear that even with the grant support under UIDSSMT scheme
and reforms Katni Nagar Nigam will not be able to implement 100% of the projects identified under
the City Investment Plan (CIP). But implementation of these reforms will result in to substantial
increase in sustainable capacity of Nagar Nigam. So, to implement more projects it is recommended
that Nagar Nigam along with the support from UADD, GoMP should try to develop few projects at
PPP model and additional grant support from GoMP.

It is also recommended that on the same lines of the National Urban Information System (NUIS)
programme for strengthening of information system at Nagar Nigam level, GoMP should also provide
support to all the local bodies in Madhya Pradesh, which are not covered in the mentioned
programme.

City Development Plan –– Katni Municipal Corporation xx

 1 Introduction
1.1 Background
Madhya Pradesh is urbanizing at a fast rate and the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the state are facing
the challenge of meeting the requirements of the growing population with limited technical and
financial resources. The Government of India (GoI) and Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP)
have initiated a number of programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service
delivery. These include both GoI schemes [including Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for
Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme
(IHSDP)] and GoMP initiated schemes [such as the Madhya Pradesh Urban Services for the Poor
(MPUSP), a DFID assisted program, which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the poor].

After the assessment of the performance of the ULBs and their capacity for exploiting the above said
resources it was felt that such a plan is essential, not only for accessing GoI/GoMP funding but also
for providing a strategic framework for converging and co-coordinating various development inputs
towards positioning the city on a development path.

Therefore, the Madhya Pradesh Urban Services for the Poor (MPUSP) launched an initiative to
support 9 ULBs in the state in preparing City Development Plans (CDPs). This initiative aims to
provide a comprehensive Medium Term Strategy (Vision 2035) and a City Investment Plan (CIP) for
each Urban Local Body, based on which the concerned ULB will be able to access funds under
schemes of Government of India (GoI) and GoMP as well as from its own sources for implementation
of priority actions and projects, identified from this exercise. The document was also envisaged to
provide a Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilizing various financial resources
to implement the identified projects, adhering to the JNNURM’s CDP preparation toolkit and keeping
in view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by Town and Country Planning
Department. It is also expected that the CDP would provide Urban Reform Action Plan for the ULBs
as envisaged under JNNURM.

In this regard, MPUSP retained ICRA Management Consulting Services Limited (IMaCS) for
assistance in preparation of City Development Plan for Katni town.

1.2 Purpose and Objectives

Scaling-up of 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 ULBs.

Catalyses of a new thinking and provoking a debate through a consultative stakeholder driven
process.

Serving the requirements of the UIDSSMT and IHSDP programmes as well as JNNURM and
other development schemes.

Generating specific Priority Actions and Projects to mobilize funding from diverse sources.

1.3 IMaCS’ Approach to the Study

IMaCS adopted a multi-pronged approach for this exercise which focused sharply on the need and
outcomes expected out of the study. The execution of the project was based on the established
guiding framework as provided in JNNURM Toolkit. A key feature of our approach involved capturing
of insights from and building on the existing / ongoing initiatives. The focus on resource mobilization
was an integral part of our approach to prepare an implementable CDP. To make CDP and it process

City Development Plan –Katni Municipal Corporation 1

inclusive and exhaustive, a consultative process was adopted. Various aspects of our approach are
described below.

Sharp focus on the Need and Expected Outcomes – CDP was visualized as a critical
intervention to provide a strategic framework for converging and co-ordinating various
development inputs in a holistic manner to facilitate engaging the city administration and
stakeholders towards crystallising vision, strategy, actions for taking the city on a development
path and as a means to enable an access to funds under various schemes/funding programs of
Government of India (GoI) and Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP).

JNNURM Toolkit(s) as a guiding framework – As advised by MPUSP, the preparation of the

CDP drew from Toolkit (including any revisions) prepared by GoI under JNNURM in terms of the
structure and process outlined in the toolkit along with integration with current initiatives for
developing a strategic framework for development agenda in the next 15 year time horizon.

Captured Insights from existing/ongoing initiatives – Insights were drawn from initiatives
underway and being undertaken including the overall spatial planning and policy framework of the
existing Master Plan, planning for reform and participatory slum improvement process put in place
under MPUSP, annual plans and proposals in District Plan for BRGF / Urban Renewal Action
Plans.

Action Orientation and Resource Mobilisation – Consideration of CDP as a means to prepare

the ground for identification of projects and time-bound interventions along with evaluation of
financial resources requirements, gaps and potential sources for mobilising funding beyond
existing programmes. The scope for private sector development and participation and access to
external resources was duly explored, wherever possible. Further, as indicated, linking of these
actions with annual plans and budget cycles of the Municipal Corporation (MC) was also carried
out.

Enable Participation through a structured Multi-stakeholder Consultative Process – A

structured consultative process was followed through creation of appropriate institutional
structures (including nomination of a Nodal Officer and the Steering Group as suggested by
MPUSP). We stressed on the participation of key Stakeholders including Elected
Representatives, Staff of MC Departments, Parastatal Agencies and other institutions, policy
makers and the citizens for spatial, social and economic development of the city as a critical
requirement.

The consultative approach for this exercise involved consultations with stakeholders at various stages
to achieve following objectives:

 Plan and target services at what people want, need and expect.
 Generate ideas for developing or improving services
 Prioritise services and make better use of limited resources.
 Set performance standards relevant to users' needs - and monitor them.
 Pinpoint problems more quickly, so things can be put right before they escalate.
The methods that were used for consultations can be classified in two categories:

1. Quantitative: These provided statistical information using samples of people. These answerd
"how many" or "what" type-questions. If the sample is drawn up using statistically reliable
methods, then the results can be extrapolated out to the population as a whole.

To get a broad understanding of town and its problems, a Questionnaire Survey was conducted
to gather the data related to ward-specific problems, town-specific problems, problems related to
various urban services and prioritization of immediate and long term needs. Additionally,

City Development Plan –Katni Municipal Corporation 2

 Suggestion Forms were distributed among the stakeholders to invite suggestions on Specific
Projects in various sectors.

2. Qualitative: These were more interactive and were used to gain a more detailed understanding
of issues - answering "how" and "why" questions. These methods cannot provide statistically
reliable results although they help in better understanding of people's attitudes / opinions.

To achieve the aforementioned objectives, IMaCS team conducted Individual Interviews, and
Public Meetings.

The performance of Consultative Approach was enhanced by adopting a structured process for
various stakeholder consultations. The Consultations processes were structured and executed in such
a manner to achieve the objectives of Consultative Approach. The outcome of these consultative
processes is presented in Exhibit 1-1.

 c. Apart from this, IMaCS’ team used this as a preparatory stage to

i. Review and analyze the current status and unique features of the city with regard to
the state of its development, systems and procedures, as equally its institutional and
financial context.

ii. Identify the strengths and weaknesses in the city’s development and to develop an
understanding of what impedes infrastructure provision and service delivery and
management within the existing set-up and what contributes to better service
provision.

iii. Do a rapid assessment through interactions with stakeholders and initial data
collection to capture previous and ongoing development initiatives to factor the same
in the Consultations and Analysis module.

The broad activities and tasks under the Inception Stage included the following:
Introductory meetings with Elected Representatives, City officials and other Government
agencies.

Formation of city level Steering Group for the CDP and a shared understanding of the role and
expectations from this group.

Preliminary Data collection including base maps and available secondary data, master plan, other
reports on recent and ongoing development programs, budget documents and other information.

Identification and listing of stakeholders, in consultation with the ULB and the Steering Group, and
putting in place mechanisms for obtaining their views and inputs.

Field visits by our team to familiarize and get a grasp of the spatial and demographic patterns,
social and economic drivers and related issues.

Identify economic opportunities and bottlenecks and their implications for development.

This module culminated with conduct of a one-day kick-off workshop with stakeholders. The purpose
of the kick-off workshop was to build participative energy and commitment of stakeholders for the
study through articulation of the purpose, process, and expected outcomes of the CDP, and achieving
a shared understanding of the same. The kick-off workshop helped in deriving a consensus along with
the stakeholders firming the process and agreeing upon a structured programme to take the CDP
forward. Further the institutional structures including the Steering Group for the consultative process
were also spelt out during this workshop. Following the workshop, we submitted an Inception Report
and followed it up with a presentation to MPUSP and the ULB. Apart from capturing the outcomes and
points of discussion / action from the workshop, the Inception Report also proposed special papers on
probable topics and agreed during the course of the Workshop and Steering Committee Meeting.

1.4.2 Module II – Consultations and Analysis
Module II formed the heart of the exercise in terms of conducting a Situation Assessment followed by
a) crystallization of a Vision for the City and Sector level Goals and Strategies and b) evaluation of
Strategies and finalizing Priority Actions at Sector levels.

This module started with the Situation Assessment covering Sector level analysis and development of
the City profile, moving on to formulation of a Vision for the City and translating them into Strategies,
Priority Projects and Reform Actions. While there were self contained sub-modules within this step,
we had clubbed them into Module II, given the highly consultative as well as data collection /
reconnaissance intensive nature of these steps and the iterative linkages between these steps.

Given the multiple and heterogeneous set of stakeholders involved, we used a range of instruments
to capture diverse inputs for the exercise as indicated below:
Public Meetings / Workshops – As suggested by MPUSP at the inception / culmination of
various stages
Individual interviews – City officials, Government Departments, Mayor, MLA/MPs, Members of
Municipal Council, representatives of Residential/Trade associations,
Limited quantitative surveys – to get a pulse of wider perceptions and priorities of the general
public.

In addition, we had a significant on-the-ground interaction effort through our research and support
staff to compile data and information from the city. From our experience in handling such studies, very
often it is critical to spend substantial time with ULB staff / do sample based field visits given the data
and information availability related limitations. Such interactions enabled us capture the qualitative
insights and serve to provide surrogate inputs to validate and overcome the generally faced limitations
of data availability (something that is also pointed in RFP issued by MPUSP). For instance, we tend to
collect budget documents at the beginning at the study and do the analysis of financials in parallel. A
time period wise analysis of revenue and costs along with their drivers enabled us to spot data
discrepancies in the initial stages and helped us to identify areas where greater time was required for
data collection / scrutiny. Similarly in the area of service levels benchmarking, we tend to do a
physical reconnaissance of municipal assets to validate reports made available to us. For instance,
we visited water distribution stations to assess the validity of the broader service level reports
generated.

We concurred with the activities and steps identified by MPUSP in the Terms of Reference in moving
from a Situation Assessment to formulate the City Vision and translating that to Sector strategies and
priority projects. Some specifics of our approach along each of these steps are described below:

Sector Analysis
The analysis of various sectors covered following steps.
a) Review the baseline status of the sector in terms of operational service level and financial
indicators vis-a-vis benchmarks/norms and desired levels of service to arrive at the normative
gaps.

b) Identify the possible alternatives for improving service levels, policy

changes/implications and the magnitude of investment required to improve service levels
in a time-bound manner.

c) Develop a sector strategy, targets for service level improvement and a list of potential
priority projects to be undertaken along with a expected levels of improvement in service
levels through implementation of these projects.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 6

These steps were undertaken in consultation with local counterparts. While carrying out the sector
level analysis, aspects related to the need for provisioning for urban poor, broad review of cost-
benefits including social and environmental impacts were also factored.

City Profile
In profiling the City and crystallizing its SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), we
looked at slightly wider issues beyond sectoral dimensions to cover the following:

Spatial growth patterns and drivers

Economic growth drivers - intrinsic and potential
Infrastructure - Physical and Social
Issues relating to Environment sustainability
Extent of Urban Poor and their requirements
Institutional Capacity gaps and requirements.

As can be observed, the idea was to get an over-arching and a holistic idea of the city’s future growth
directions (both economic and spatial) to understand the implications for physical infrastructure and
administrative capacity building needed to support this growth.

The City Profile also drew from the Sector analysis and provided an assessment of the existing
situation in all the sectors, emerging issues, analysis and projection of the present gaps and future
requirements. This was done within the framework of parameters related to demography, economic
base, finance, physical and environmental issues, infrastructure, institutions and universalization of
services especially for the poor.

City Vision
Exhibit 1-3 presents an extract from the JNNURM Toolkit on the aspects to be considered in
developing a City’s Vision which we believe summarizes the key contours of a City level Vision
formulation quite succinctly.

The City Profile was presented to the Stakeholders and Steering Group followed with a discussion on
city perspective and city priorities as perceived by the stakeholders. With the background of City
Profile, perspective and priorities, the participants contributed in developing a collective and shared
vision for the city. Discussions were initiated on Strategies, Priorities and Major Actions that may be
required in the next five years to move towards the vision.

Exhibit 1-3 Developing a City Vision

Developing a vision for the city is central to the preparation of a CDP. A vision is a statement of where the city wishes to
go, within a given timeframe, and is often expressed in terms of clear expectations. It defines the potential of the city
and reflects its unique attributes in terms of comparative and competitive advantages, values and preferences of the
city’s residents, relationship of the city to the state, national and global economies, and of course, the history and
physical characteristics of the city. A vision aligns stakeholders’ energies to work cohesively for the development of the
city. Cities need to systematically consider the future, and design strategies to accordingly shape the future. All
objectives, strategies, programmes and projects must be aligned with the vision of the city.

Developing a common vision requires a significant effort of consensus building in order to balance the competing
demands arising from different economic infrastructure sectors, as also from different interest groups within the city. In
order to achieve an understanding on a common vision, it is useful to choose “milestones” and targets such as provision
of a minimum level of services to all; public disclosure and transparency in the formulation of budget proposals;
introduction of a single window in matters of service delivery and management and the like. In developing the vision,
cities must choose a set of criteria that are directly relevant to the JNNURM components. It is important that when cities
define outcomes and milestones on the vision, they ensure that these are measurable and have a time frame.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 7

Sector Goals and Strategies
The formulation of key themes underlying the City Vision is a critical part of the exercise. At the same
time, it is important to translate this broader vision into specific sector level strategies and goals. In
formulating sector level strategies and actionable goals, it is critical to ensure a link between these
strategies and the desired service level outcomes and consistency with the overall goal. More
importantly sectoral strategies need to be inclusive.

While the Vision tends to capture a broader perspective of the citizen/stakeholder view on where the
city needs to go, strategies articulate what needs to be done.

For instance, an overall vision to provide universal coverage of water supply to all its citizens may
require strategies to a) Augment water availability, b) Reduce Distribution Losses and c) Differentiated
Tariff with subsidized lifeline supply for cost recovery.

Sector wise service level targets and reform actions

We translated broader sector level goals into tangible service delivery targets and reform actions. This
further enabled identification of priority projects that need to be implemented to achieve these service
level targets.

1.4.3 Module III – Finalization

This module covered translation of consultative and analytical inputs to develop in an actionable City
Investment Plan backed by an effective financing strategy leading to formulation of the City
Development Plan and its finalization through a consultative discussion on the same with the
stakeholders.

Preparing the City Investment Plan (CIP) and a financing strategy

The CIP and financing strategy are inseparable. An Investment Plan would be credible and actionable
only if it is backed by an analysis of financing capacity and a strategy to overcome the limitations of
the financials of the ULB. Typically we have observed that ULBs tend to have limited investment
capacity to undertake all capital investment programs. Apart from evaluating the potential financing
from schemes like UIDSSMT and other capital grant schemes of GoMP/GoI, it was critical to evaluate
as part of the strategic options, the ULB’s potential to a) Improve its Revenue surplus through
revenue enhancement related reforms and rationalization of costs and b) leverage and access to
external capital through borrowings and Public Private Partnerships.

Our approach typically involved the following steps:

a. Estimation of unconstrained sector wise Investment requirements given normative gaps in

service levels (5 year, 10 year and 15 year horizons), sector wise service level improvement
targets and identified priority projects for the first five years;
b. Preparation of Financial and Operating Plan and Estimation of borrowing capacity with
operating revenue surplus improvements and revenue reforms;
c. Developing a realistic and actionable Investment Plan and a Financial and Operating Plan
within borrowing capacity limitations with a 5-year action plan and 15-20 year financial
projections.
d. Needless to mention the 5 year action plan involved an iterative process and factored inputs
from consultations with stakeholders on priority projects to be taken up in consonance with
the City Vision, Sector wise strategy and service level targets.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 8

Submission of City Development Plan, Consultations and Finalisation
Following the finalization of the CIP, we integrated the deliverables presented in Module I and II along
with the CIP and financing strategy to prepare and submit the City Development Plan.

Then we had a workshop with stakeholders to summarize the process and the building blocks around
which the CDP has been evolved and seek an endorsement from them. We also worked with the
stakeholders to develop procedures for performance monitoring and implementation of the actions
recommended in the CDP.

This was followed by a presentation to MPUSP and the ULB. Based on the inputs we are submitting
the final CDP to MPUSP and the ULB along with a summary of the CDP for publication and wider
dissemination by the MC.

1.5 Stakeholder Interactions and Stakeholder Workshops

The CDP process involved several stakeholder consultations during the course of the project to make
the process inclusive and CDP comprehensive. Apart from individual consultations, three stakeholder
workshops were conducted at different stages of the study with the objectives of apprising
stakeholders with the status of the study and obtaining feedbacks on CDP process and intermediate
findings. The feedbacks from stakeholders were carefully evaluated and incorporated in the process.

The objectives and outcomes of various stakeholder workshops are:

1. Kick-off Workshop - Inception Workshop:

A workshop was organized to familiarize the stakeholders with the purpose, process, and
expected outcomes of the CDP, and build enthusiasm, understanding and commitment to the
CDP. The kick off workshop helped in deriving a consensus along with the stakeholders firming
the process and agreeing upon a structured programme to take the CDP forward.

2. Second Workshop - City Vision and Sector Goals Workshop:

In this workshop, city profile was presented to the stakeholders followed by a discussion on city
perspectives and city priorities as perceived by the stakeholders. With the background of city
profile, perspective and priorities, a collective and shared vision was developed for the city. In
addition to the formulation of the vision and sector goals, the preliminary discussions were
carried out on strategies, priorities and major actions that would be required in the next five years
to move towards the vision 2035.

3. Third Workshop - Strategies and Prioritization Workshop

This workshop involved selection of strategies based on their contribution towards achieving the
city vision and sector goals. The selection of strategies was followed/supplemented by
prioritization of identified projects and immediate actions required to achieve the sector goals.
This workshop culminated in the consolidation of city vision, sector goals, strategies, priority
actions and projects

4. Fourth Workshop-Stakeholder Endorsement and Performance Monitoring Plan

In this workshop, identified projects in different sectors were discussed with stakeholders. Then,
investment required for implementation of these projects was discussed. An Investment Plan
backed by an analysis of financing capacity and strategies to overcome the limitations of the
financials of the ULB was discussed in detail. Finally culmination of workshop was done with the
finalization of city development plan.

connected by Roads and Railways
2. Located in the heart of rich Mineral and
Agricultural Belt
3. Proximity to several tourist places
4. Proximity to a water source
5. Katni boasts a strong natural drainage
network
Weaknesses
1. The areas where the initial settlements
were concentrated are now densely
populated which act as impediments to the
infrastructure development/upgradation in
these areas.
2. Presence of significant Railway
infrastructure within Katni city act as a
deterrent to the intra-city road connectivity
and infrastructure development/upgradation.
3. Presence of several low lying areas cause
stagnation of storm water
4. Lack of good Hospitality institutions
Opportunities
1. Further exploring the possibility of developing
Katni as a Transportation and Logistics Hub
2. Physical Infrastructure development in the old city
area.
3. Development of an integrated SWD system for an
effective utilization of City’s natural drains

this potential would be hazardous to Katni’s
economy.

2.8 Conclusion
This chapter dealt with the physical features of the town which included topography, natural drainage,
climate, and wind direction. The chapter also provided information on its location and connectivity. In
addition to above, the chapter also discussed the Historical and Tourism importance of the city.

The next chapter discusses the demographic profile of the town.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 14

 3 Demographic Profile of the Town
3.1 Introduction
Demographic characteristics of a region provide an overview of its population size, composition,
territorial distribution and changes therein. This section on demographic indicators includes indicators
that measure the population size, sex ratio, density and dependency ratio. These indicators for the
region will help in identifying areas that need policy and programmed interventions, setting near and
far-term goals, and deciding priorities, besides understanding them in an integrated structure. Data in
(3)
this section has mainly been taken from the “Population Census Abstract, Census of India, 2001 ”,
(5) (6)
“Town Directory, Census of India, 2001 ,” and “Katni Municipal Corporation .” The demographic
characteristics have been analysed in terms of decadal growth and spatial distribution of density in
the town.

3.2 Population Growth Trend and Density

The population of Katni has grown by a tremendous margin in the past three decades. A snapshot of
Katni’s population growth trend is provided in Exhibit 3-1. As it is evident from Exhibit 3-1, Katni has
registered a substantially high population growth rate.

Exhibit 3-1 Population Growth Trend of Katni

Year Population Decadal Change (Number) Decadal Growth Rate (%)

1971 86,335 - -
1981 1,23,017 36,682 42.2
1991 1,63,431 40,414 32.9
2001 1,87,029 23,598 14.5
(5)
Source: Town Directory, Census of India. 2001
Unexpectedly high population growth rate of Katni in the previous decades can be attributed to a mix
of following aspects:
1. Increase in the mining activities in the surrounding areas;
2. Founding of various mineral based industries;
3. Development of Katni as a major Railway hub;
4. Host to the biggest agricultural market of the region.
As evident from the Exhibit 3-1, despite a high decadal population growth rate Katni’s population
growth rate has come down from 42.2 percent to 14.5 percent. This reduction in Population growth
rate can be attributed to:

1. Saturation of basic services provided by Katni Municipal Corporation;

2. Development of alternate urban centers in the vicinity of the town;
3. Awareness generated from population control programmes;
4. Migration from Katni to other towns equipped with better facilities and employment opportunities.
Exhibit 3-2 presents an overview of population densities of Katni city in past two decades. Population
density (P.D.) is calculated as population of the city divided by the municipal area of the town. It is
generally represented in terms of No. per Hectare. For the purpose of this analysis, municipal area is
taken as 68.57 sq.km, instead of 69.93 sq.km. This has been done to analyze trend of Population
Density during years 1991 and 2001. The figure 68.57 sq.km corresponds to the municipal area as
per the Census of India, 2001, whereas the figure 69.93 sq.km corresponds to present municipal area
as per Katni Master Plan.

Exhibit 3-2 shows an upward trend in the population density of Katni Municipal Corporation in the past
two decades. It indicates the rapid urbanization and pressure on the basic services provided by Katni
Municipal Corporation. Despite an increase in the Population density of Katni, it is significantly lower
than the average population density of all Municipal Corporations, taken together, of Madhya
Pradesh.

3.3 Other Demographic Indicators

Demographic profile of a city comprise of information on factors mentioned in Exhibit 3-3. The major
demographic indicators of a city includes Literacy rate, Work Participation rate, Sex-Ratio, etc.

be attributed to low importance attached to female education. A higher sex ratio in the SC and ST
categories suggests greater awareness in comparison to whole population. A starkly low sex ratio “0-
6 Years” age group needs immediate attention and should attract concerted actions to improve the
situation.

A detailed analysis of Literacy rate and Sex ratio is provided in Section 4.2. The Work Participation
rate has been discussed in detail in Section 4.5.

3.4 Ward-wise details of Population

Katni Municipal Corporation is divided in 45 wards. A Ward level demographic profile for Katni
Municipal Corporation is presented in Exhibit 3-4. It provides ward-wise details viz. population, sex
ratio, number of households, literacy rate and work participation rate, of all the wards.

3.5 Population Projection

In last three decades, the decadal growth rate of population has come down from 42 to 14 percent.
According to the past and current trends of population growth in Katni city, an analysis was carried out
with an objective of estimating population for next three decades using various methods which include

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 17

Arithmetic increase method, Incremental increase method, and Geometric progression method.
Result of this analysis is presented in Exhibit 3-5.

Exhibit 3-5 Population Projections

Geometrical progression method 2,37,795 2,61,770 3,32,824 4,23,164
Source: IMaCS’ Analysis
Population projection analysis revealed that Estimations using Incremental Increase method is
nearest to the actual population trend. The Population Projections obtained from Arithmetic Increase
and Incremental Increase Methods are close to each other but the Incremental Increase Method
improvises on Arithmetic Increase method by taking an extra degree of variation in consideration.
Hence, for all purposes in this report, Incremental Increase method has been considered for the
estimation of future populations.

3.6 Population Density

Population density (P.D.) is calculated as population of the city divided by the municipal area of the
town. It is generally represented in terms of Population per Hectare. It has been seen earlier that
there exists an upward trend in the population density of Katni Municipal Corporation in the past two
decades which indicates rapid urbanization and pressure on the basic services provided by Katni
Municipal Corporation. For better administration, the municipal area has been divided into 45 wards.
Exhibit 3-6 gives a snapshot of Population Density of various wards calculated according to the 2001
Census Population and respective areas.

Exhibit 3-6 shows that that the Population Density, in various city wards, varies from a minimum of 3.2
in Ward No. 45 to a maximum of 622 in Ward No. 6. Population densities of various wards have been
categorized in the five categories as per the degree of congestion of the ward. Exhibit 3-7 lists the
ward numbers as per their degree of congestion.

Wards falling under the Category IV are highly dense whereas those falling under Category I are
scarcely populated. Analysis showed in Exhibit 3-7, has also been shown pictorially in Figure 6.

3.7 Key Issues and Observation

Various issues pertaining to demography of Katni are listed in previous sections. This section
provides those issues in a nutshell.

The high population growth rates (14.5% in 1991-2001, 32.9% in 1981-1991 and 42.2% in 1971-
1981) in recent times have led to the several problems related to infrastructure and service
delivery, as development of new infrastructure and maintenance of existing infratructure were

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 19

 restrained by lack of funds, lack of proper planning and improper execution of developmental
programmes.
Wards categorized under Categories IV (Exhibit 3-7) are highly congested which affects the
delivery of various urban services.
One of the possible reasons for the 28 percent reduction in population growth rate during 1991-
2001 from 1971-1981 can be the saturation of services provided by Municipal Corporation.
If supported by proper planning and management, mass exodus from nearby areas can well
become a pathway for Katni’s economic development. Any failure in tapping the potential will
inevitably lead to a mismanagement and deterioration of socio-economic milieu.

A higher proportion of female among the illiterates indicate lower attention paid to female
education.

3.8 Strategies
1. A healthy demography and quality of life in an area are dependent on each other. Hence, an
immediate attention should be paid to the development of new infrastructure to support the recent
increase in the population.

2. The population density in ward numbers 6(622), 8 (411.3), 9 (355.6), 21 (330), 24 (514.4), 32
(324.2), 33 (523.3) and 34 (334.3) are substantially high as compared to other wards. Initiatives
should be taken to decongest these wards.

3. Awareness generation activities should be carried out to address the issues of lower female
literacy rate (64.3 %) and lower sex ratio (911) with special focus on ST population.

4. Proper documentation, in coordination with Govt. Hospital, of birth and death rates would help in
tackling critical issues.

3.9 Conclusion
This chapter discussed population growth trend and population density of the town. It was followed by
the analysis of other demographic indicators and ward-wise populations. The chapter ended with
population projections for next 25 years.

The next chapter deals with the socio-economic profile of the town.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 20

 4 Socio – Economic Profile of the Town
4.1 Introduction
Socio-Economic profile of a region provides an overview of its social indicators and economy. The
section on Social Indicators includes Sex Ratio, Literacy Rate and Average Household size. This is
supported by the detailing of occupations of population. The economic profile of a town provides an
understanding of its economic base and trade & commerce activities. These indicators for the region
will help in identifying areas that need policy and programmed interventions, setting near and far-term
goals, and deciding priorities, besides understanding them in an integrated structure. Data in this
(3)
section has mainly been taken from the “Population Census Abstract, Census of India, 2001 ”,
(5) (6)
“Town Directory, Census of India, 2001 ,” and “Katni Municipal Corporation .”

4.2 Sex ratio and Literacy Rate

Exhibit 4-1 gives us details of literates along with details of sex ratio. It also shows the status of
respective items in Madhya Pradesh state.

As shown in Exhibit 4-1, Katni’s literacy rate is comparatively higher than that of urban areas of state
taken together. But despite a higher literacy rate, sheer number of male and female illiterates is
alarming. Turning our attention to sex ratio, Katni’s overall sex ratio is lower with that of whole District
and M.P. State.

Exhibit 3-4 is reorganized in Exhibit 4-2 to identify the wards that need immediate attention in areas
like literacy rate and sex-ratio. Exhibit 4-1 tells us that Katni Municipal Corporation has an over-all sex
ratio of 912 and literacy rate of 82.4%. For both the indicators, Exhibit 4-2 classifies wards into two
categories i.e. wards which have a better value than the whole town and wards which have a lower
value lower than the r whole town.

Literacy rate is one of the most important demographic indicators which sum up the existing literacy
level and capacity to actualize the developmental potential. All the wards are classified in four
different categories as per their existing level of literacy. This Classification is given in Exhibit 4-3.

According to Exhibit 4-3, Wards falling under the Category III and Category IV need an immediate
attention to improve the literary scenario of the whole town.

Figure 2 shows the ward-wise literacy rates in the city. It can be seen from Figure 2 that most of the
peripheral wards have lower literacy rate whereas the wards in the central area of the city have high
literacy rates. It can also be seen that the wards having low literacy rate are mostly the slum wards.

In addition, a detailed gendered analysis of literacy has also been carried out for all the wards of Katni
city. This has been done in accordance to the classification criteria provided in Exhibit 4-3

4.4 Socio-Economic Base
This section deals with the key sectors that drive Katni city’s economy. With a preliminary assessment
of city’s economy, following factors can be characterized as key economic drivers.

1. Location in the rich mineral belt.

2. A rich agricultural belt resulting in a diverse set of crops.
3. Largest agricultural market, A – Class Mandi, of the region,
4. Important transit point for various tourists places
5. Key Railway Junction with numerous ancillary units.

Our preliminary assessment and review of reports of “Census of India, 2001” helped us consolidate
the data pertaining to import/export of commodities from Katni and information on manufacturing
industry of Katni. Exhibit 4-6 provides glimpses of three Most Important Commodities imported,
exported and manufactured in Katni.

As evident from Exhibit 4-6, the most important driver of Katni’s economy is processing and export of
Lime.

4.5 Work Force Details

Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation,
wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only
actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time
help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged
in 'work' as defined above are workers. As per “Census of India,” Workers have been classified as
Main workers, Marginal workers and Non workers depending on duration of their work months.

Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6
months or more).

Marginal Workers: Those workers who had not worked for the major point of the reference period
(i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers.

As a sub-classification, “Main and Marginal Workers” are again classified on the basis of nature of
work performed; Cultivators, Agricultural Labours, Household Industry Labours and Other Workers.

Cultivators: A person is classified as cultivator if he or she is engaged in cultivation of land owned or

held from Government or held from private persons or institutions for payment in money, kind or
share. Cultivation includes effective supervision or direction in cultivation.

Agricultural Labours: A person who works on another person's land for wages in money or kind or
share is regarded as an agricultural labourer(S), he has no risk in the cultivation, but merely works on
another person's land for wages. An agricultural labourer has no right of lease or contract on land on
which (s) he works.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 25

Household Industry: Household Industry is defined as an industry conducted by one or more
members of the household at home or within the village in rural areas and only within the precincts of
the house where the household lives in urban areas.

Other Workers: This includes all government servants, municipal employees, teachers, factory
workers, plantation workers, those engaged in trade, commerce, business, transport banking, mining,
construction, political or social work, priests, entertainment artists, etc. Exhibit 4-7 provides workforce
details of Katni city.

In the Master Plan of Katni, a total of 53.5 ha is dedicated to activities of trade and commerce which is
around 3.5% of the total area.

4.8 Tourism
Katni is the main transit point for several places of historical importance. Some of them are
Bahoriband, Tigavan, Vijaraghavgarh, Roopnath, Bilhary, Jhinjhari, etc

Bahoriband:

Bahoriband is one of the historical places

of Katni. There are many monuments
scattered around this village. A huge
statue of Jain Teerthankar Shantinath 12
ft high and numerous statues of Lord
Vishnu and Lord Surya are among the
monuments most visited by tourists.

Tigavan

Tigavan is famous for its 1500 year old

flat-ceiling temple. According to various
scriptures, the temple was built by the
rulers of Gupta Dynasty. In addition to
this, it is also host to the ruins of around
30 temples. According to various
historical accounts, Tigavan was
erstwhile known as Jhanjhangad
deriving its name from the battle
between the King of Madhogarh and
Aalha & Udal. It is also

Vijayraghavgarh:

Located at about 30 km from Katni, Vijayraghavgarh was a major town during the reign of King
Prayagdas. It is famous for Vijaraghavgarh fort and a temple of lord Vijayraghav. Other attraction at
Vijayraghavgarh includes a Rangmahal.

Roopnath:

Located at a distance of 3 kms from

Bahoriband, Roopnath is a Pilgrim
Center. It is famous for Panchling statue
of Lord Shiva. Roopnath is also famous
for its “three kunds” (tanks) one above
another on a standing stone. The lowest
tank is called Sita Kund and next above
it is known as Lakshman Kund and the
topmost is known as Ram Kund.

Bilhary

Bilhary is famous for its Varah Temple. Many

excavations in the area have led to the ruins of
various temples. Historical accounts reveal that
Bilhary was a major town in the past with its
territory extending in a circle of 24 miles
diameter.

Jhinjhari

Jhinjhari is famous
for its coloured
painted rocks.
These paintings
date back to 10000
BC to 4000 BC.
Some of the
pictures belong to
the middle age - 700 BC to 200 BC.

4.9 Key Issues and Observations
A significant number of male and female illiterates is a serious issue which impedes the overall
development of the city. This can be attributed to the lower awareness, poverty and lack of
sufficient accessible education.
A high percentage of non-workers suggests that a significant proportion of population remains
unemployed for a substantial part of the year. This potential can be tapped by creating job
opportunities. Exhibit 4-7 shows that Non-Workers constitute about 70.4 % of Katni’s population
which is more than that of urban areas of MP state (69.3 %).

Exhibit 4-6 reveals an enormous dependence of Katni’s economy on the Lime. Whereas this
potential can further be actualized, this dependence is also a possible threat to the Katni’s
economy. To achieve a sustainable growth rate, a more diversified economic base is of utmost
importance.
It is clearly visible that Katni is surrounded by several tourist places. Though some efforts have
been taken towards the actualizing the ancillary tourism potential of Katni town, concentrated
efforts are still lacking to develop Katni as a Transit hub for these places.

2. Further, awareness generation activities should be carried out to address the issues of lower
awareness, poverty and lack of sufficient accessible education.
3. Generation of new employment avenues for Non-Workers for substantial reduction of
unemployed population.

 4. Creation of a more diversified economic base for reducing the dependance on Lime based
industries.
5. Improving hospitality & transportation infrastructure to actualize the tourism potential of Katni.
This would further supplement the generation of new employment avenues for employment
and create a diverse economic activity.

4.12 Conclusion
This chapter dealt with various aspects of socio-economic profile of the town such as sex ratio,
literacy rate, average household size, work participation rate, socio-economic base and trade &
commerce. The discussion was then followed by the analysis of critical issues in this area.

The next chapter talks about physical planning and growth management in Katni city. It involves
discussions on spatial distribution of population, past growth trends, municipal and ward-level
mapping. The chapter also includes a discussion on Land-use pattern of Katni city.

 5 Physical Planning and Growth of Katni City
5.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the physical planning and growth related parameters and issues of Katni city.
The analysis has been carried out for spatial growth trends, spatial distribution of population, land use
pattern, housing scenario, etc. The chapter concludes with a discussion on future growth possibilities
of Katni city.

5.2 Municipal Level Mapping

An attempt has been made to clearly demarcate the boundaries of municipal jurisdictional area.
Figure 3 provides a municipal level map of Katni at the scale of 1:2000. Figure 3 also shows Katni’s
physiographic features and linkages within the city. The Map also depicts the natural drainage system
and the major landmarks of the city. It can be seen that the National Highway-7 plays a major role in
the city with most of the landmarks located along it. The National Highway acts as the main arterial
road of the city connecting different areas of the city with city centre, the Railway station, Bus stops,
commercial areas in the North-Western part and the administrative offices in the South-Western part
of the city. The Rivers and other Natural drains form a significant part of the city’s boundary.

5.3 Ward Delineation Map

The Katni municipal area is divided into 45 administrative wards. Figure 4 shows the boundaries of
various wards in the city. As a general observation, the wards located in the periphery of the city are
bigger in size than their counterparts in the city centre. Some of the important landmarks shown in
Figure 4 are the police station in ward no. 1, the bus stand in ward no. 3, railway station in ward no.
19, ACC and the OFK Factory in ward no. 39, the mining area in ward no. 44, industrial area in ward
no. 29, mandi in ward no.3 and collectoratte and other offices in ward no. 29 and 44.

5.4 Spatial Growth Trends

Till 1867, Katni, erstwhile Mudwara, was just another village on the bank of River Katni. With the
commissioning of Jabalpur-Allahabad Railway line in 1867 and subsequent developments along the
th
Railway line, the settlement transformed itself from Mudwara village to Katni town. In the 19 century,
human settlements were mainly concentrated near Azad Chowk and Purani basti. Azad Cowk was
close to the Katni River and famous Jalapa Devi Temple. Subsequently, in the initial decades of this
century, city began to grow towards Mission Chowk, Jhannda Chowk, Gol Bazaar and Ghantaghar.
Post independence, Katni saw huge inflow of migrants from other parts of the country. A majority of
these migrants settled in the area, now, known as Madhav Nagar. This gave a new direction to the
spatial growth of city’s limit. In the recent times, Katni has seen development of Nayi Basti, Shanti
nagar and other human settlements along the Jabalpur Railway line and National Highway 7.

The spatial growth trend is depicted in Figure 5.

5.5 Spatial Distribution of Population
As provided in Exhibit 3-2, the population density of the Municipal corporation has icreased from 23.8
persons per hectare (pph) in 1991 to 27.3 pph in 2001.

A pictorial representation of Ward wise population densities is presented in Figure 6. As per the
Exhibit 3-7, the population density has been categorized into 4 types. Ward no 6, 8, 9, 21, 24, 32, 33
and 34 have higher density and are shown in the dark brown colour. Wards 5, 7, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26,
31 and 40 are in the density range of 100-300 pph and are shown in the light brown colour. The wards
1, 2, 3, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 28, 29, 35, 36, 38, 39, 43, 44 and 45 are the ones with least density
and shown in the light yellow colour. Rest of the wards have medium density in the range 50-100 pph
and are shown in the dark yellow colour.

An important observation is that that the higher density wards are concentrated near the city centre
and Railway network. The lower density wards are mainly the peripheral wards. However, some of the
lower density wards are located near the railway lines and hence have a potential for future growth.
The low population density in these wards can be attributed to the presence of large open spaces and
vacant land. A close look at Figure 6 reveals that most of the wards adjoining NH 7 and close to the
city centre have comparatively higher population densities. Also, some of the wards located in the
South-Western part of the city have high population densities. This can be attributed to their proximity
to the mining areas of the Western part of the city.

5.6 Review of Master Plan and Land-use Analysis

A study of existing land use is entirely unavoidable in the preparation of a vision for the city. Letting
this be our watchword, we made an attempt to assess the existing land use of Katni. The existing land
use pattern of Katni shows that a major portion of the total area of the Municipal Corporation and
Planning Area is under agriculture. Agriculture constitutes about 65.71% of the Planning area and
only 12% of the Planning area is developed. Among all kinds of land use categories, land under
residential is around 40% of the developed area. Also a very high percentage of the land under the
Transportation land use category (30.28%) can be attributed to the dense rail and road network.

Figure 7 provides a snapshot of existing land-use pattern of Katni planning area. Figure 7 shows the
existing land use of the city. The land use has been categorized into 10 types; residential,
commercial, industrial, public/s. Public, recreational, transportation, water bodies, agricultural, hillocks
and the space for utilities. It can be seen that the predominant land use is agricultural. An important
observation is that that most of the commercial activities are taking place along the major roads near
the city centre. Also there is a mandi in the north west of the city.

The industrial estates, as shown in Figure 7, are present in the Southern and Western parts of the
city. A small industrial estate is also present in the Northern part of the city. The South-Western part
of the city boasts high concentration of Public/Semi-Public facilities. In addition, a small patch of the
Public/Semi-Public facilities exists near the Municipal Corporation office.

Other details of various land use categories are presented in Exhibit 5-1. It provides details
corresponding to 10 land-use categories; Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Public/Semi-Public,
Utilities & Services, Recreational, Transportation, Vacant land, Agricultural land and Water Bodies.

In order to gain a better understanding of Katni Master Plan, a comparative analysis of existing Land
Use pattern and proposed Land Use pattern has been carried out with the Land Use pattern
suggested in the UDPFI guidelines. As per the classification provided in UDPFI guidelines, Katni city
will be categorized as a medium city. A snapshot of these Land Use patterns is provided in Exhibit
5.2.

Source: Katni Master Plan (4) and UDPFI (7)

As per Exhibit 5.2, most of the components, except Industrial and Transportation, of existing land-use
pattern of Katni (Planning Area) are in tune with land-use suggested in UDPFI guidelines. In the land-
use pattern proposed for year 2021, the percentages of land under Residential, Commercial,
Industrial and Transportation uses exceeds that suggested in UDPFI guidelines. This eccentricity can
be attributed to the specific needs of Katni city, it being envisioned as an Industrial, Commercial and
Transportation centre of Central Madhya Pradesh. One of the shortfalls of Katni Master Plan is under-
allocation of land for Recreational use. Recreational amenities are important components of a city’s

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 38

infrastructure and there should be a balance between the land-use under Residential and
Recreational.

5.7 Housing Scenario

Housing is a very critical component of city’s development. Some of critical aspects of Housing in any
city consists of the number of households, average household size, type of building and provision of
basic services e.g. water supply, electricity, sewerage, drainage, solid waste disposal etc. To analyze
the housing scenario of the city, factors such as density of residential areas, household size, nature of
built form and housing shortage have been considered. According to a survey conducted by the Town
and Country Planning Department (TCPD), around 80% of total city’s population lived in their own
houses whereas this ratio was 95% for High Income Group (HIG) households. The city had around
10% semi-pucca and 214 pucca houses.
(4)
According to Katni Master Plan , average household size in slums was 6.4. Hence, at present, slum
population of 49,611 (excluding those covered under IHSDP) lives in 7751 houses. Also, the average
household size for the whole town is 5.2. Hence, at present, city has 41576 households.
(4)
The Housing Scenario of Katni has been analyzed in accordance to the Katni Master Plan .
Accordingly, around 70% of slum houses and 1 % of the remaining houses have been considered for
reconstruction. Exhibit 5-3 presents a snapshot of shortage of housing units in Katni city.

5.8 Future Growth Possibilities

Figure 6 clearly depicts wards with lower population densities. The wards, with lower densities, offer
some possible locations for future development in the city. A critical observation reveals that growth
could also be directed to the low density wards, namely Ward No. 18, 35, 28 and 38, located near the
city centre. Ward No. 29 which is close to the Railway lines and National Highway-7 can also acts a
site for potential future development.
In the Katni Master Plan, some of key proposals are Transport Nagar and augmentation of Industrial
estate in the north of the city. Hence, Ward No. 1, 2, 4, and 10 located in the north of the city can be
developed as the future residential areas.

5.9 Conclusion
This chapter discussed physical growth of Katni city. The chapter presented municipal boundary and
ward delineation maps. It also included the analysis of spatial growth trends and population densities.
An analysis of Katni’s housing scenario and Master Plan and its provision was also carried out in this
chapter.

The next chapter deals with the assessment of urban services. The assessment of existing situation is
followed by the demand-supply gap analysis, SWOT analysis and identification of critical issues in
each urban sector.

Water Supply facility in Katni city is provided by Municipal Corporation which undertakes sourcing,
establishing networks, maintenance and collection of user charges.

Existing Status

Source, Supply Levels and Treatment Facilities

Water sources in the Katni city include Katni River, Mines
and Tube-wells. Whereas River and Mines supply 7 MLD,
Tube-wells account for 8.5 MLD of water. Tube-wells in the
city are equipped with two kinds of extracting mechanism:
Motor Pumps and Hand Pumps. Exhibit 6-3 provides the
details of Tube-wells in the Katni City.

To extract the water from the Katni River, a Karry type Annicut, height 4 meters and length 30 meters,
has been constructed over the Katni River. It has a capacity of 6.22 Mcft which is sufficient to supply 9
MLD of water for a period 15-20 days, considering 30-40 % evaporation and infiltration losses. With
the help of an Intake Well, 7.5 meters high and 6 meters diameter, raw water is being pumped using
75 HP motors, having a suction and delivery head of 55 meters, to a treatment plant of 9 MLD
capacity. Raw Water Pumping Main has a 380 mm diameter steel hume pipe having length of 671
meters from Intake well to Water Treatment Plant.

Water Treatment Plant

Katni, at present, has a Treatment Plant of 9 MLD capacity. Its
main components are:

1. Alum dosing tank;

2. Clariflocculators having total capacity of 110 Cum;
3. Settling tank of capacity 1135 Cum;
4. Rapid gravity filters having a filter area of 34 Sqm;
5. Wash water tank of capacity 30 Cum;
6. Gravity feed Chloronome of 0.83 lps capacity;
7. Sump well of 2, 25,000 litres.

Transmission and Distribution

Katni city has a peculiar transmission and distribution network in which 21 wards get water from Katni
River, Mines, Motor and Hand Pumps; 19 wards are connected via Motor and Hand Pumps whereas
5 wards are dependent only on Hand Pumps. Distribution system has Pipelines of diameters ranging
from 400 mm to 80 mm.

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 41

Figure 8 shows the existing “Water Supply” infrastructure
of Katni city. The Figure depicts sixteen functional and
two proposed Over Head Tanks (OHTs) in the Katni city.
In addition, there are thirteen Sump Wells in the city. It
can be noted that the most of Sump Wells are located in
the vicinity of the OHTs. It can be observed from the
Figure 8 that Water Supply infrastructure is well
distributed in the city. Currently, the Wards located at
periphery of Municipal area suffer from inadequate Water
Supply infrastructure but the infrastructure proposed in
these areas attempts to cater the territorial population.

Present and Future Demand-Supply Gaps

In addition to summarizing the current status and Demand-Supply Gap analysis for Water supply in
Katni City, Exhibit 6-6 also provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service
with level of service desired under the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation
(7)
(UDPFI ) guidelines. As per the industry standards, water supply projects are being designed for a
period of 25-30 years. Hence, in this area, Demand-Supply Gap Analysis has been carried out for
short term and long term. To estimate the future demand of daily supply and other water supply
infrastructure, a floating population of 10% of the city population has been considered. The daily water
(7)
requirement of floating population is considered, in accordance with the UDPFI guidelines, as 30
lpcd.

For the Water Treatment infrastructure, it has been assumed that 100% of the supplied water will be
(7)
treated before its consumption. As per UDPFI norms, a city needs to maintain an Elevated Storage
Capacity equivalent to 33% of the quantity of water supplied daily. It has also been assumed from the
guidelines that city would need to increase its distribution network from 48% of city’s road network to
85 % of the same.

Source: IMaCS Analysis

It is evident from Exhibit 6-6 that Katni needs a major revamping in “Water Supply” sector as current level of service, 72 lpcd, is substantially lower than
the prescribed norm of 135 lpcd. The huge gap in the water supply area at the end of year 2015 well underscores the above point. By the end of year
2035, Katni city would require 42 MLD of water for daily consumption. Katni city also falls behind in meeting the standards of UDPFI guidelines in the
area of Treatment capacity. In the area of Elevated Storage Capacity, Katni city, at present, meets the UDPFI standards but a gap of 5.3 MLD in short
term and additional 3.3 MLD in long term will have to be addressed. An addition of 127.2 kms and 131.3 kms will be required in the area of distribution
network by the year 2015 and 2035 respectively.

Ongoing/Proposed Projects
The ongoing project was designed under UIDSSMT scheme for fulfilling the water related needs of the Katni city for the year 2040. The augmentation
project has been designed for augmenting the water supply in Katni city to a level of 51 MLD, including 15 % of Transmission & Distribution losses. The
(8)
project is known as “Katni Water Supply Scheme .” The project includes following components:

1. A Barrage of 5.25 Mcm capacity.

2. A raw water pumping station
3. Raw water pumping main
4. A treatment plant of 31.5 MLD capacity
5. A clear water sump and pump house
6. Clear water pumping main

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 45

 7. Distribution network of 37.93 kms
8. 3 Storage reservoirs of 8.5 ML capacity
Hence, Out of the 4 major indicators, gaps pertaining to Daily water supply, Treatment capacity and
Elevated storage capacity will be well addressed by the ongoing “Katni Water Supply Scheme.”

Issues
1. A substantial part of population receives untreated water as the existing treatment plant treats
only 58 % of the supplied water;

6.2.2 Sewerage and Sanitation

th th
As envisaged in the 12 schedule of 74 Amendment to the
Constitution of India, responsibility of providing services pertaining to
sewerage and sanitation within the city limits lie with ULBs.

Sewerage System – Existing Status

Katni city lacks a comprehensive sewerage system for a safe disposal
of sewerage generated in the city. In fact, one of the major issues
which Katni city is facing is the absence of sewerage system.
City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 46
Sewerage generated in the city either flows into storm water drains or individual septic tanks with a
major portion lying unattended in various parts of the city creating unbearable milieu for the citizens.
Sewerage flowing into storm water drains eventually merges into natural drains which crisscross the
city.

Sanitation System – Existing Status

The sanitation scenario of Katni city can be studied under the four categories: Pit Latrine, Water
Closet, Other Latrine and No Latrine. As per the report of “Houses, Household Amenities and Assets,
(9)
Census of India, 2001 ”, around 38.5 % of total Households lacked in-house sanitation facilities.
Exhibit 6-7 gives a snapshot of the sanitation facilities in the town.

4 No Latrine 13761 38.5
Total 35755 100

Source: Census of India, 2001

Around 61.5 % of households have an in-house sanitation facility whereas 38.5 % of households
either resort to open defecation or use Public Toilets.

Public Toilets
Katni Municipal Corporation has developed many Public Toilets/Conveniences which are located at
various key locations in the city. The primary purpose of these Public Toilets is to serve the Floating
Population. However, these Public Toilets are also used by members of those households which lack
an in-house Sanitation facility. But a significant portion of the households which lack an in-house
sanitation facility also resorts to open defecation.

At present, Katni Municipal Corporation provides Public Conveniences at 13 locations. Exhibit 6-8
summarizes the location and number of seats of each Public Convenience system.

Present and Future Demand-Supply Gaps

The Demand-Gap Analysis for Sewerage has been done in terms of the Households that will have to
be covered by a Sewerage system. The required Treatment Capacity has been calculated assuming
an 85 % conversion rate of water consumed by the residents into wastewater.

The sanitation facilities have been analyzed in two categories; Household toilets and, Public Sanitary
Conveniences (PSC). For the purpose of future demand estimation, it has been targeted that all the
uncovered households will have to be provided with some kind of sanitation facilities (not necessarily
in-house) by year 2035. The primary objective of Public Sanitary Conveniences will be to serve the

City Development Plan –- Katni Municipal Corporation 47

Floating Population, These assumptions have been made to estimate the future demand in the area
of sanitation and should not be treated as recommendations on imposing restrictions on the usage of
sanitation facilities by different group of people.To estimate the number of uncovered households, due
(9)
to unavailability of existing data, data available from Census of India, 2001 has been used. The
year 2001 data has been used as the base data and the existing data has been estimated using
following two assumptions:

1. The number of uncovered households increased with the annual population growth rate.
2. Every year, around 5% of uncovered households shifted to the in-house sanitation facility.
(7)
Considering the above assumptions and norms prescribed under UDPFI guidelines, the Demand-
Supply Gap Analysis was carried out. Results of this analysis are provided in Exhibit 6-9. Exhibit 6-9
also provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service with level of service
desired under the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines.

As shown in Exhibit 6-9, Katni city would require a sewerage system to cater to around 60813 Households (as per UDPFI guidelines) by the end of year
2035. A treatment plant with an initial capacity of 26 MLD should be developed in the short term which should later be increased to 34 MLD by the end of
year 2035. Katni city would also have to provide sanitation facilities to around 12123 uncovered households by year 2015. To provide sanitation facilities
to the floating population, existing capacity of 160 would need to be augmented to 387 by year 2015 and 507 by year 2035.

Issues
1. Absence of sewerage system in the town – At present only few areas are connected to local septic tanks with major portion of the town lacking a
sewerage network, this portrays the lack of sewerage infrastructure in the town. Dumping of sullage and stagnation of water are visibly disturbing
which ultimately leads to a mosquito menace and other hygiene problems. This issue can only be addressed by development of a comprehensive
sewerage system in the city.

2. Need for greater coverage and better maintenance of Public conveniences - Given the significant proportion of slum population, there is a
need of additional public conveniences. The existing level of one seat per 135 persons is very less than the UDPFI norm of one seat per 60 persons

3. A substantial portion, around 38 %, of population lacks an in-house sanitation facility.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 49

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
1. The development of “Katni Water Supply
Scheme” would ensure an increased level of
water supply and hence a development of a
sewerage system is possible as it requires a
constant minimum waste water input.
2. Increased awareness among the
stakeholders for the improvement of
sanitation facilities.
3. Presence of “private sector” in the sanitation
sector.
Weaknesses
1. Slum Population per Seat of Public
Convenience is 135 against the UDPFI norm
value of 60.
2. Lack of maintenance and absence of timely
cleaning of free public conveniences renders
them unusable for significant amount of
time.
Opportunities
1. Provision of better services to slum and
floating population by improving the sanitation
facilities of the city.
2. PPP mode can be utilized for the
improvement of sanitation facilities of the city.
3. Tertiary treatment of the sewage water and
re-using for the municipal purposes can be
explored.
Threats
1. Improper usage of public conveniences
would leave these facilities unusable and
would require more maintenance.
2. Wastewater from Houses and overflow from
the individual septic tanks mix with storm
water drainage system resulting in water
pollution.

6.2.3 Solid Waste Management System (SWMS)

Waste is the unwanted material left over from places of human and animal habitation. Solid waste
comprises unwanted and discarded materials from houses, street sweeping, and commercial and
industrial operations. Increase in urban population and changing life styles lead to the generation of
solid waste.

Generally, solid waste is heterogeneous in nature and a mixture of vegetables, food items, paper,
plastics, rags, glass etc. If solid waste is disposed off in open areas without any treatment, it will
cause a negative impact on the environment and ground water.

Existing Status
Katni Municipal Corporation is responsible for all kinds of collection i.e. primary, secondary and
tertiary which include street sweeping, collection, transportation and disposal of all solid wastes
generated in the town.

Municipal Corporation has a dedicated staff of around 500 sanitary workers supervised by 32 Sanitary
Supervisors. Sanitary Supervisors are headed by 5 Sanitary Inspectors. Solid Waste Management
service is headed by 2 Health Officers. Exhibit 6-10 provides details viz. quantity of waste generated /
collected, constituents of municipal waste, collection bins, frequency of waste collection and
population covered by door to door collection by ULB.

Data pertaining to “Number of Collection points” refers to major waste collection points i.e. points at
which waste collection is carried out at daily. As per the available information, some of the major
waste collection points are not equipped with dustbins. Hence, the number of dustbins, at waste
collection points, is less than the number of Major Waste Collection Points. The Actual number of
collection points is difficult to arrive at as the “number of collection points without dustbins” is not
available.

Waste Disposal and Vehicles for Solid Waste Collection
At present, Katni Municipal Corporation carries out street sweeping in two phases everyday and
transports the collected garbage to a Trenching ground located in the Rabindranath Tagore Ward.
The Trenching ground has an area of 15.5 acres and is located at an approximate distance of 8 kms
from the Municipal Corporation office. Waste is collected by 500 sweepers, which is then transported
to the Trenching ground by Trucks and Tractors. A brief description of vehicles used by Municipal
Corporation for solid waste collection is given in Exhibit 6-12.

Present and Future Demand-Supply Gaps

An Analysis was carried out to project the future waste generation in the Katni city. Waste generation
projection has been carried out in accordance to the UDPFI guidelines. A land-fill height of 4 meters
with bulk density of 0.5 Tonnes/Cu.mt has been assumed for the analysis.
Exhibit 6-14 Exhibit 6-14 mentions that existing waste generation of 80 MT/day would be increased to
86 MT/day and 113 MT/day by year 2015 and 2035 respectively.

The Demand-Supply Gap Analysis for this sector was carried out in accordance to the UDPFI
(11)
guidelines, Municipal Solid Waste Rules 2000 and Manual on Municipal Solid Waste Management
(12),
Government of India.

The Primary Collection infrastructure has been analyzed with respect to Push-Carts, Tricycles and
Community Bins (primarily for Slum Areas). It was assumed that the city should have equal number of
Push-Carts and Tricycles to carry out the primary collection in an effective manner. It has been
observed that primary waste collection in slums does not reach 100% due to many constraints such
as poor connectivity, unclear demarcation of houses, etc. Hence, there should be a provision of
community bins in the slums to maximize the solid waste collection. In our analysis, we have
assumed that 50 % of slum areas will be provided with the community bins.

The Secondary Collection Infrastructure has been analyzed with respect to Collection Points and
carrying capacity of Transporting Vehicles. According to the “Manual on Municipal Solid Waste
(12)
Management ,” 1 collection point should be provided for an area of 0.25 sqkm (500mx500m). It was
also revealed from the discussion with staff of Municipal Corporation that Waste Transportation
vehicles operate at a rate of 4 trips per day to the Disposal Site. The total carrying capacity of
Transportation Vehicles should at least be equal to the 33% of the waste generation in the city. A
provision should be made for the standby capacity equivalent to 30% of the vehicle carrying capacity.

The adequacy and Demand-Supply Gap analysis of Waste Disposal was carried out for
Biodegradable and Non-Biodegradable wastes separately. It was assumed that Biodegradable
component of solid waste would be disposed in a Composting Plant whereas Non-Biodegradable
waste would be disposed at Landfill site. It was revealed from the “Detailed Project Report for Solid
(10)
Waste Management of Katni City ” that around 44% of Municipal Solid Waste at Katni is Bio-
degradable and 14 % is Recyclable. Hence, for the demand estimation, Bio-degradable waste has
been considered for disposal at composting plant and waste excluding bio-degradable and recyclable
for landfill site.

As per Exhibit 6-15, Katni City needs a major augmentation in the area of accessories that support Primary collection of solid waste. A total of 190
tricycles and 190 push-carts would be required by the year 2035 to carry out the primary waste collection in an effective manner. To carry out the primary
waste collection in those slum areas where primary collection by means of Push-carts and Tricycles is not possible, provision for 162 dustbins should be
made by the year 2015. To increase the vehicle carrying capacity of transportation vehicles from 20 % to 33 %, city would need to add vehicles of
cumulative capacity of 21 MT in its fleet by year 2015. Against an existing Trenching ground of 15.5 acres, a landfill site of 77.4 acres and a composting
plant of ultimate capacity of 49 metric ton would be required by the year 2035.

The city also lacks provisions for the separate waste collection of Bio-Medical waste, Industrial Waste and waste from Restaurants, Hotels, Slaughter
House etc.

6.2.4 Traffic and Transportation

This section reviews the existing situation of Transportation system in terms of their current level of
service, coverage and key issues related to services provided by Katni Municipal Corporation. Katni
Municipal Corporation is the primary agency responsible for the construction of new roads within the
municipal limits. After construction of by-pass, the stretch of National Highway 7 which falls within the
city limits has now also been maintained by Katni Municipal Corporation. Municipal Corporation’s role
with regard to road infrastructure in the city includes the construction and maintenance of all roads in
its jurisdiction, except the roads belonging to the Public Works Department (State Highway). The
construction of internal roads, in the case of a private colony, development is the responsibility of the
developer. Municipal Corporation however verifies the adequacy of proposals in these areas, at the
time of sanction of these roads.

Existing Traffic and Transportation Scenario

The general street pattern is observed to be narrow and facilitates only a few alternate routes for
circulation. Lack of adequate parking space in the commercial area, and bus stand is leading to the
roadside parking of vehicles in the market and other commercial areas causing traffic problems and
promoting a conducive environment for road accidents. Exhibit 6-16 provides the details of Katni’s
road network. Total road network length of Katni is around 244 km. The road density of the town is
found to be 3.5 km per sq. km.

Traffic Circulation
This section deals with the identification of major roads which carry significant city traffic. These roads
(4)
have been identified from the field surveys and review of “Master Plan, Katni .” These corridors are:
Mahatma Gandhi Road, Kamla Nehru Marg, Sardar Patel Marg, Tilak Marg, Barhi Marg and NH 7. In
addition to these, Ordinance Factory Marg, Jawahar Marg, Gurugovind Marg and Roads connecting
N.K.J and Madhav Nagar to the main city are also among the important roads of the city.

Main Traffic Generation Points

The roads of Katni city carry a mix of Passenger and Freight Traffic. There are certain points in the
city, such as Bus Stand, Railway Station, Mandi and other commercial areas, etc, which constantly
generate traffic. Some of the important points which lead to a constant traffic generation are:

1. Main commercial market near Jhanda Bazaar

2. Ghantaghar
3. Barhi Road
4. Gol Bazaar

Katni city has many transport agencies. Generally, trucks are parked in front of their agencies which
cause obstructions to free flow of traffic.

Main Traffic Termination Points.

1. Maal-Godaam
2. Madhav-Nagar
3. Bus Stand
4. Railway Station

Figure 10 provides a snapshot of Road Network of Katni city including the main congestion points.
The map attempts to provide a aerial view of; Existing road network including major roads and arterial
roads, Railway stations, Bus stops, etc.

National Highway-7 acts as the main arterial road for the city. National Highway-78 which connects
Katni to Barhi also carries a significant amount of city traffic. Subhash chowk and Mission chowk are
two major intersections of city. It can also be seen that most of the major congestion points fall on the
National Highways. The other critical congestion points are located near Railway crossing (faatak),
near Rest House No. 2, near Khireni Police Station, near Police Thana Tigadda, Azad Chowk,
Chandak Chowk and Bhataa Mohalla Tigadda.

Katni city also acts as a Railway hub and boasts a dense Railway network with a good connectivity
with rest of the state and other parts of the country. The Railway stations connect Katni with
Allahabad in the North, Jabalpur in the south, Beena in the west and Bilaspur in the south east. An
aerial view of city’s rail network is shown in Figure 10.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 57

Bus Stand and Truck Terminal
The new Bus Stand is located at around 3 KM from Railway Station. Earlier, Bus Stand used to be in
the central area which was relocated at the, then, out-skirts of the city to reduce the congestion in the
central part of the city.

At present, there is no notified Truck terminal in the city. The lack of a notified Truck Terminus leads
to traffic congestion and accidental situations at many locations in the city. To counter these issues, a
Truck Terminus is proposed in the Pureni area of Katni city.

Parking
Almost all the important locations of city lack an organized parking facility. This can primarily be
attributed to the unavailability of space as these places are densely populated and average street
width in these areas is around 5 m. Lack of sufficient parking lots and organized on-street parking
facilities has resulted in haphazard and unorganized parking on most stretches of commercial roads
in the city.

Present and Future Demand-Supply Gaps
(4)
The demand in the area of Road network has been estimated considering the provisions of Master Plan and city’s future needs. The observation of
existing scenario reveals that around 38 % of city’s road network is constituted by the Kutcha roads. In the future demand estimation, it has been
considered that all the Kutcha roads will be upgraded to the Pucca roads. Exhibit 6-17 summarizes the current status and Demand-Supply Gap analysis
for Traffic and Transportation system of Katni city. Exhibit 6-17 also provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service with level of
(7)
service desired under the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI ) guidelines.

Katni city would require an addition of 30.9 km in its existing road network by the year 2015 whereas in the next 20 years from year 2015, it would have
to be increased by 154.5 km. To achieve a target of 100% Pucca roads by the year 2015, city would need to upgrade 92 kms of Kutcha roads to the
Pucca roads.

Issues
1) Traffic congestion - Increase in the number of vehicles and lower road widths are the major causes for traffic congestion;
2) Inadequate parking facilities - Inadequate traffic management measures and inadequate parking facilities are major problems of the town;
3) At present, average width of roads is found to be 5m which is very less with respect to the city’s needs;
4) Encroachments along the roads - Presence of informal activities along the road margins, illegal encroachments of pedestrian areas and
footpaths are the other causes for traffic congestion in the town;
5) There is a human cry towards safety of non-motorized traffic and pedestrians on the main roads especially roads that are linked to major schools
and hospitals;

6.2.5 Drainage
Existing Status
The storm water drainage system of Katni city consists of three kinds of drains, i.e. Kutcha Open,
Pucca Open and Pucca Closed. The storm water drainage network of Katni city comprise 210 kms of
Kutcha, 60 kms of Pucca Open and 30 kms of Pucca Closed drains. As the town lacks an integrated
drainage system, the rain water finds its way to low lying areas. The stagnation of this storm water
results inti unhygienic conditions causing serious health impacts.

Major Water Bodies & Drains

Katni city has two rivers, Katni River and Simrar River, which forms an integral part of Katni’s drainage
system. River Jalgaar and River Bhamral also help Katni in discharging its storm water. Rain water
and water from small nallahs find their way to these rivers. Apart from these rivers, there are several
ponds in the city. Some of them are located in Pahrua Mandi, Bajrang Colony, Kawsji Ward and
Ameerganj. In addition, there are 6 Stop Dams in the city, of which 2 are under-construction.

Figure 11 shows the existing network of the natural drainage in the city. The presence of a dense
natural drainage system in Katni city can be attributed to its physiographic features. In addition to
draining out the storm water, these drains also carry a significant untreated wastewater. Three main
disposal points of sewerage into Katni River, which is in the north of the city, is shown in the Figure
11. Additionally, Figure 11 also shows five major natural drains of Katni city. These are: Katni River
which flows through the city from West to North-East of the city, Kohari River which flows from North-
West to East, Simrar River, Bhamral River and Jalgaar River. The Figure also depicts the flow
direction of these water bodies.

Figure 11 also shows some of the low lying areas of the city (in red colour) which generally get
affected with the stagnation of the Storm water.

Present and Future Demand-Supply Gaps
(7) (7)
To estimate the future length of Drainage Network required in the City, UDPFI norms have been considered. According to UDPFI norms, the length
of city’s Drainage network should be of the range of 130 % of the city’s road network. Also, the city’s 67 % of city’s Drainage network should be Pucca
closed and rest should be Pucca open.

With above assumptions, Current status analysis and Demand-Supply Gap analysis was carried out for the Drainage network. In addition to the
Demand-Supply Gaps, Exhibit 6-19 provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service with level of service desired under the UDPFI
(7)
guidelines.

Katni city needs a major revamping of Storm Water Drainage System. This includes an addition of 57 km of new drains and up-gradation of 210 km of
Kutcha Open drain to Pucca Open and Pucca Closed drains by year 2015. 58 km and 152 km of Kutcha Drains should be upgraded to the Pucca open
and Pucca Closed respectively. After year 2015, 66 km of Pucca open and 134 km of Pucca closed should be constructed in a phased manner in a
period of 20 years to maintain the prescribed level of service.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 64

Issues

City is vulnerable to floods and stagnation of water due to lack of an integrated drainage
system and proper disposal mechanism of storm water.
A significant portion of city’s drainage system is formed by Kutcha open drains.
Clogging of existing drains due to negligent practices of some of the citizens related to the
dumping of waste in the drains.
Field surveys and public consultations have revealed that that the silting of natural drains is a
major problem and leads to the improper disposal of storm water which often leads to the
overflowing of storm water.
Encroachment on the open drains is a major cause of concern

Fire Service
Presently, Katni Municipal Corporation has 2 Operational Water Tenders, namely TATA 709 and
TATA 1210, of 2700 and 3600 litres capacity. In additional of these water tenders, Fire Fighting
Department of Katni Municipal Corporation also operates a makeshift Water Tender comprising of a
4500 litres water tanker and 5 HP diesel pump. Due to lack of this facility in nearby areas, Water
Tenders are often sent to the areas which are outside the jurisdiction of Katni Municipal Corporation.
Also, the sanctioned number of staff has not been posted which causes technical problem in running
the service efficiently. Presently, this department employs 1 Head Fireman, 6 Drivers and 9 Firemen.

Power Generation and Distribution

Responsibility of supply of electricity to Katni Municipal Corporation lies with the Madhya Pradesh
State Electricity Board. At present, Katni city receives electricity from Singrauli, Korba and
Amarkantak Power-Plants. Katni has two substations located at Shantinagar (1.32 KV) and
Manjhgava (2.2 KV).

Katni, at present, is suffering from shortage of electricity with duration of power cuts reaching up to 6-
8 hrs during summer. Katni, at present, does not receive electricity from any other source, leaving
apart a few solar energy panels. The electricity wires crisscross the city’s skyline and pose a potential
threat to citizens and their properties.

Present and Future Demand - Supply Gaps

To estimate the future demand of Street Lights, an average spacing of 30 meters, as per UDPFI
guidelines, has been assumed between two street light poles. Also, a composition of 75:24.75:0.25
has been assumed for Tube-lights, Halogen lamps and High Mast Lamps.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 66

For the Demand-Supply Gap analysis of Fire-fighting in accordance with UDPFI guidelines, it has been assumed that Fire Stations would also cater to
the population of surrounding villages. Hence, for the estimation of number of Fire-stations and other equipments, population of Murwara Tehsil, which is
the jurisdictional Tehsil (Sub-district) of Katni Municipal Corporation, has been taken into consideration. Other assumptions regarding the equipments are
provided in the Exhibit 6-22.

Exhibit 6-22 summarizes the current status and Demand-Supply Gap analysis for Street Lighting and Fire-fighting facilities in the town.

The city requires additional 4146 street lights by year 2015 to achieve the prescribed level of service. This will involve new installation of 4129 tube-lights
and 17 high mast lamps. Between year 2015 and 2035, a gap of 5650 street lights will have to be catered to cover the increased road network.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 67

In the area of Fire-Fighting, city will have to increase the number of fire-stations to 3 by year 2015 and
to 5 by year 2035. To serve the population effectively assuring safety of firemen, city would require
Water Tenders, Foam Tenders, Rescue Mechanism, Portable Pump, Fire Entry Suits and
Communication Wireless sets, details of which has been provided in Exhibit 6-22.

Issues

Street Lighting
Average spacing between two lamp-poles is 49 m which is higher than the prescibed norm of 30 m
At present around 49% of the street lighting system comprises of Halogen lamps resulting into a
higher energy consumption.
Although an average spacing of 49 m between two lamposts indicate a decent street light
coverage of road network, it fails to take the difference in concentration of street lights along some
particular roads into account.
As the responsibility of laying lamp-poles and their electrification lies with M.P. State Electricty
Board, there exists an institutional gap between the planning and implentation of installation of new
street lights.

Fire-Fighting
A huge infrastructural gap to cater the population of city and that of surrounding villages.
Inadequate safety equippments with the firemen
Lack of logistics to support High Speed communication

Power
Long electricity cuts especially during summer.
Open electricity wires posing a threat to citizens and their properties
Lack of alternate power sources

6.3 Urban Poor and their Accessibility to Basic Services

This section deals with slums and the urban poor and their access to urban basic services in Katni.
The aim is to identify key issues in service delivery to the poor in Katni and suggest strategies that
would enable the Katni Municipal Corporation to address issues and fulfill its mandate of providing
basic services to the poor in the city.

Katni city has experienced a steady growth in population in the last three decades. The city’s
population grew at decadal growth rates ranging from 42 to 14 percent in past three decades. Along
with this, the housing needs of the city also grew. These could not be satisfied by the formal housing
market. Several immigrated households who could not avail of the formal housing market satisfied
their needs by occupying vacant land; this led to a simultaneous increase in slum population. The
concentration of employment opportunities in Katni urban area attracts several migrant laborers to the
city. Such migrants, due to their low levels of income, are unable to afford pucca houses and end up
occupying vacant government/private land.

Poverty Situation in Katni

As per the latest survey by Katni Municipal Corporation, Katni city has 28698 “Above Poverty Line”
(APL) families, 17613 “Below Poverty Line” (BPL) families and 813 “Antyodaya Anna Yojna” (AAY)
families. The ward-wise details of families in these three categories are provided in Exhibit 6-23

Slum – Definition
The Madhya Pradesh Gandi Basti Kshetra (Sudhar tatha Nirmulan) Act, 1976 (Madhya Pradesh Slum
Area (Improvement and Relocation) Act, 1976, considers housing conditions and access to services
as the basic criteria in defining slum areas.

The Madhya Pradesh Slum Area (Improvement and Relocation) Act, 1976, specifies that where the
competent authority is satisfied in respect of building in an area “that the buildings in that area are in
any respect unfit for human habitation; or are by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty
arrangement of streets, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities, or any combination of these
factors, are detrimental to safety, health or morals – it may, by notification, such area to be a slum
area.” Further, to specify that a building is unfit for human habitation, the criteria to be considered are
“repair, stability, freedom from damp, natural light and air, water supply, drainage and sanitary
conveniences, facilities for storage, preparation and cooking of food and for the disposal of the waste
water.”

Slums in the Town

Katni Municipal Corporation has a significant presence of slums in its jurisdictional limits. Around 44 of
its 45 wards have certain extent of slum presence. As per the report of “Integrated Housing and Slum
Development Programme (IHSDP),” Katni city had a total slum population of 50,398 in year 2005. The
ward-wise slum population is presented in Exhibit 6-24.

Location of Slums on the City Map
Figure 12 shows the location of major slum pockets in the city map. It can be seen that most of the
slum pockets are located in the peripheral wards of the city. Most of the slum pockets are located in
close proximity to the work zones. Some of the pockets are also located near mining and the
industrial areas of the city. The ward which has Krishi Upaj Mandi also has a high slum population.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 72

Ongoing Projects
In the IHSDP report, five slums have been selected for housing and infrastructure development.
Some of the details of these slums are presented in Exhibit 6-25.

In total, there are around 8646 beneficiaries who will be provided with 2182 housing units. In addition
to the Housing units, necessary provisions are also proposed in the area of basic infrastructure
facilities. The total cost of proposed project is Rs 2921 Lakhs.

Current Status of IHSDP Scheme

In the First phase of the project identified in IHSDP report, construction of 462 housing units is under
construction. Also, tenders have been invited for the remaining 1720 housing units.

Urban Basic Services in Slums

Services provided in the slums are similar to that provided by Municipal Corporation in other areas.
These include street sweeping, solid waste collection, drinking water, roads, street lighting, fire
services, etc. But provision of these services is restricted due to unregulated growth of settlements
and inadequate access to most of these areas.

SWOT Analysis
It was revealed from the stakeholder consultations that, in slums, the level of service for almost all
urban services is lower than that in the rest of the city. SWOT analysis of services in the slums would
be similar to the individual SWOT analysis carried out under the sections various sections of this
chapter. The Strengths and Opportunities for basic services in slum areas are almost similar to those
in rest of the city. Some of the major weaknesses of Slum areas are:

1. Inadequate financial capacity to translate the meager awareness on Health and Education
into actions to improve the general social conditions related to hygiene and literacy.

2. Inadequate physical and social infrastructure in the slums.

3. Insecurity of Land Tenure

4. Unsustainable income sources of the slum dwellers

Issues
1. Growth in Slum Population: Around 30% of city’s population lives in Slum areas which are spread
all over the city on the vacant lands and along the river bank. A sound industrial base has resulted
into the increase in number of slums and slum dwellers.

2. Concentration of slums along sensitive locations: The majority of the slums in the town have taken
refuge on the available locations such as along the Railway lines, periphery of Municipal Area,

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 74

 banks of Rivers and other natural drains, etc. The concentration of slums in sensitive locations
poses a potential threat to the environment.

3. Lack of Physical and Social Infrastructure in most of the slum areas.

6.4 Social Infrastructure

The social infrastructure has been classified into Health, Education and Recreational infrastructure.
The geographical locations of various components of Social Infrastructure are shown in Figure 13.
The facilities shown in figure include schools, colleges, administrative office, railway station, bus
stand/terminal, police station, hospital, religious buildings, military ground. It can be easily seen that
most of these services are present either on the National highways or in the central part of the city.

6.4.1 Health Infrastructure

Existing Status
Health institutions in Katni include District hospital, Ayurvedic hospitals, Maternity centres, Nursing
homes and Dispensaries. Excluding District hospital and Ayurvedic hospitals, all medical institutions
are privately managed. The District hospital is owned and run by M.P. Government whereas
Ayurvedic hospitals are maintained by Municipal Corporation. The city has a cumulative bed-capacity
of 438.

Present and Future Demand - Supply Gaps

The Demand-Supply Gap analysis has been carried out the year 2015 and 2035. As the number of
beds that a health facility would contain depends on various factors, analysis here has been carried
out in terms of number of beds instead of number of hospitals. For the institutions which do not
involve In-Patient services, this analysis has been carried out in terms of number of facilities.
(7)
As per the UDPFI guidelines, a city needs to have at least 500 beds to cater a population of
250000. In addition to that, 1 Polyclinic and 1 Dispensary should be provided for every 75000 and
15000 citizens respectively.

Exhibit 6-26 presents a Demand estimation analysis of Health infrastructure for Katni city.

Source: IMaCS Analysis

In addition to augmenting city’s bed capacity, special attention should be paid to the provision of
tertiary care health facilities in the city. A high concentration of mineral dust in the nearby areas
requires a tertiary care unit for the respiratory diseases and cancer. To reduce dependence on
medical facilities of Jabalpur, a trauma centre should also be developed in the Katni.

Issues
1. Government Hospital which receives maximum number of patients suffers from inadequate
infrastructure and poor maintenance of buildings and other assets.
2. Inadequate tertiary care units
3. Utilization of existing facilities at Government Hospital is severely constrained due to power cuts.
4. Lack of sufficient facilities for the people accompanying the patient
5. Lack of sufficient government health facilities leads to expensive healthcare for the Poor.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths Opportunities
1. Sound existing base of primary health facilities 1. Meeting of Infrastructural Gaps can develop
(in terms of numbers) Katni as a healthcare hub for the region
2. Substantial awareness for the improvement 2. Development of new health facilities supported
Health Infrastructure by an up-gradation/improvement of existing
3. Vicinity to major cities for the specialized health facilities will help in an overall

6.4.2 Education
Existing Status
Educational Institutions in Katni city are owned and run by various organizations, namely Department
of Education, M.P., Katni Municipal Corporation, Central Government and Private Players (Aided by
Government and Unaided). There are seven kinds of schools in Katni city, namely Primary only
(Class I to V), Upper Primary only (Class VI to VIII), High School only (Class X to XI), Senior
Secondary only (Class XI to XII), Schools with Primary and Upper Primary (Class I to VIII), Schools

Present and Future Demand - Supply Gaps

The Demand-Supply Gap analysis has been carried for the years 2015 and 2035 as per the UDPFI
norms. As the strength (number of students) of an educational institution is variable and hard to
depict, demand analysis, here, has been carried out in terms of number of students instead of number
of schools. Exhibit 6-28 summarizes the demand estimation analysis for educational infrastructure of
Katni city. It also lists the various assumptions such as “number of students for different level of
institutions” and “population that requires 1 no. of each kind of institution” prescribed in the UDPFI
guidelines. Exhibit 6-28 provides number of students in each category for which educational
institutions would be required. The analysis has been carried for three major types of educational
institutions, namely Primary to Secondary Education, Higher Education and Technical Education.

6.5 Local Economy

Existing Status
Katni has a diversified economic base constituted by Agriculture, Mining, Industries, Transportation
and Trade & Commerce (Wholesale and Retail). The key economic drivers of Katni’s economy are:

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 80

 1. Location in the rich mineral belt;
2. A rich agricultural belt resulting in a diverse set of crops;
3. Largest agricultural market, A – Class Mandi, of the region;
4. Important transit point for various tourists places;
5. Presence of Key Railway Junction with various ancillary units.

(5)
Reports of “Census of India, 2001 ” were reviewed to consolidate the data pertaining to
import/export of commodities from Katni and information on manufacturing industry of Katni. Exhibit
6-32 provides glimpses of three Most Important Commodities imported, exported and manufactured in
Katni.

Source: Town Directory, Census of India, 2001

As evident from Exhibit 4-6, the most important driver of Katni’s economy is processing and export of
Lime. In addition to above, Katni’s Industrial Activities, Trade & Commerce and Tourism have already
been discussed in detail in Sections 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 respectively.

Issues
1. Most of the commercial markets are located in the interior of the city which has a poor
connectivity.

2. Underdeveloped facilities for tourists heading to Tourist places located around Katni

3. Poor logistical infrastructure for the import/export of products.

4. Inadequate number of Hawker Zones.

5. Exhibit 4-6 reveals a high dependence of Katni’s economy on the Lime. Whereas this
potential can further be expored, this dependence is also a possible threat to the Katni’s
economy. To achieve a sustainable growth rate, a more diversified economic base is of
utmost importance.
6. A high percentage of non-workers suggests that a significant proportion of population remains
unemployed for a substantial part of the year.

3. Failure to develop logistical infrastructure will
restrict Katni status as a minor Transportation hub

6.6 Environment and Heritage & Tourism

6.6.1 Environment
A city’s environment is dependent on several factors which impact environmental aspects such as air
quality, water quality, land quality, noise levels, etc. Each of these aspects gets affected by individual
factors or a combination of two or more factors. Some of these factors are: Shortcomings in Solid
Waste Collection, Under-developed Storm Water Drainage system, Undeveloped Waste water
disposal system, Dust and particulate matters from vehicular traffic and industries, etc.

Existing Status
Municipality’s inability to collect 100% generated waste leads to scattering of waste which ultimately
find its way to drains, open lands and other sources of water. This leads to the pollution of land by
improper disposal of harmful waste, ground water pollution by leachate and surface water pollution by
mixing of waste with water. In addition to these, solid waste clogging the drains leads to stagnation of
water which ultimately leads to the unhygienic milieu.

Under-developed drainage network and undeveloped waste water conveyance system leads to the
stagnation of storm water and waste water in various parts of the city leading to unhygienic conditions
which poses severe threat to the health of the citizens.

Heavy vehicular traffic on NH 7, Railways and mining in the town’s vicinity are constant source of dust
and other particulate matters which pollutes city’s urban space and causes various kinds of
respiratory problems to the citizens.

It was revealed from the consultations with the officials of Regional office of Pollution Control Board
(PCB) that the major air pollutant in Katni city is Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM). Its
3
concentration has been found to be more than 200 micrograms/m . This exceeds the prescribed limit
3
of 200 micrograms/m for the residential areas. The possible reasons for this could be the excavation
works in the vicinity of the city and a significant percentage of Kutcha roads in the city. The
concentration of SO2 was found to be in the limits prescribed for the residential areas. In case of

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 82

Heavy vehicles, 20% of the surveyed vehicles were found to be violating the prescribed level of
Carbon Monoxide (CO).

Issues
1. A major institutional gap between the monitoring of vehicle pollution and enforcement of
penalties on the polluting vehicles. The task of monitoring the pollution is carried out by the PCB
whereas the penalties or other actions have to be taken by the Regional Transport Officer (RTO).
2. Leakages in Solid Waste Collection System leading to water and land pollution.
3. Clogging of drains and improper handling of wastewater leads to unhygienic conditions
4. Impact of vehicular traffic, railways and mining on the air quality of the city
5. Lack of adequate green cover in the city.
6. Open defecation by a portion of population, which lacks an in-house sanitation facility.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
1. Vicinity to the dense forests
2. Presence of good water sources
3. Awareness among the citizens towards
the need of better environment
Weaknesses
1. Shortage of land to develop green areas
2. Improper disposal of Solid waste and
Wastewater.
3. Mining Activities in the vicinity of city
leads to high pollution levels of
dangerous particulate matters
Opportunities
1. Development of infrastructure related to the handling
of solid waste, waste water and storm water can
improve the city’s environment
2. Conservation of Ground water and water bodies.
3. Environmental Impact Assessment of all
developmental works in the region
Threats
1. Failure to integrate the issue of urban environment
with infrastructure development projects
2. Failure to conserve water bodies and ground water
can have severe impact on the city’s environment

6.6.2 Heritage
Heritage Structures in the Town
A long history has embellished Katni city with many Heritage structures. Some of the key heritage
structures in the town are Kamaniya Gate, Sadhuram School, Ghantaghar, Laxmi Narayan Mandir,
Jalpa Devi Mandir, Shahid Dwar, Gandhi Dwar, Gate of Municipal Corporation Office, Rai Bada,
Jhanda Bazaar, etc. A brief description of these structures is provided below:

Kamaniya Gate: It was built in

year 1875 and acts as an
entrance to Katni City. The
structure has been encroached
at many places by hawkers and
beggars and also faces a
potential threat from Traffic and
Electric Cables.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 83

Sadhuram School: This school was built in year 1885 and has been one of the major educational
institutions since then. The school
building is in dilapidated state. The
playground of school is also used
as a place for “Chowpati” in the
evening which disturbs the
environment of the school.

Ghantaghar: This structure was

built in year 1931. The area
surrounding the Ghantaghar is one
of the major commercial areas of
the Katni city. The structure has
become a victim of encroachments
and neglect from the authorities

Jalpa Devi Mandir: This temple

was constructed in the beginning of
th
18 century and some of the
earliest settlements in the Katni city
were located in the vicinity of this
temple. A Hanuman Mandir and
Jalpa Mandir Gate are also located
near this temle.

Shahid Dwar: This gate was constructed in the memory of the

martyrs of “1961 Indo-Pak war” in the year 1962 by Mr. Ramdas
Panwale. This structure has become a victim of various
encroachments and faces a potential threat from the plying traffic and
electric cables. As a measure to conserve this structure, some
restoration work was carried out a few years ago but that initiative
certainly failed to restore the earlier glory of the structure.
T

Laxmi Narayan Mandir: A temple

of Lord Vishnu is located in the
heart of the city. This temple was
built in year 1913. The structure is
well-maintained but sometimes,
causes a traffic problem on the
road in front of it.

Gate of Municipal Corporation

Office: Katni Municipality was
formed in the year 1874. The Gate to
the Municipality office, constructed in
year 1934, is of high heritage value.
The structure stands intact and
boasts a rich history of the urban
local body.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 84

Other Structures:
In addition to the
abovementioned
structures, city also
has many structures
of high architectural
values.

Issues
1. Many of the Heritage sites such as Kamaniya Gate, Ghantaghar, Shahid Dwar have been
struggling with encroachments.

2. Almost all of the heritage structures, except those of religious importance, have been neglected by
citizens and city authorities. These structures, urgently, demand restoration works for their
conservation.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
1. Many Heritage Structures
2. A good combination of cultural
and historical significance.
Weaknesses
1. Lack of proper maintenance.
2. Lack of awareness among the
citizens
Opportunities
1. Preservation of heritage structures
2. Improving the brand image of Katni city
3. Can improve in-town tourism potential.
Threats
1. This area may lose focus as the immediate needs of citizens
are related to the basic infrastructure facilities.
2. Failure to conserve these structure may lead to the complete
loss of heritage

6.7 Urban Governance and Institutional Framework

Urban management in India is facing new challenges in the form of large concentrations of population
in urban areas, opening of the economy and the resultant demand for quality services, growing
number of urban poor, inadequate financial resources and complexities of urban situations. As a
result, urban management has not remained an exclusive responsibility of the ULBs. There are other
organizations that are responsible for urban management like urban development authorities, special
purpose boards and corporations, and the State Government department controlling the affairs of
urban development. As a result of these agencies and the definite roles assigned to them in overall
urban management, the ULB is required to closely work with and share the responsibility of urban
management with them.

The agencies involved in urban management and development in Madhya Pradesh (and in Katni) are:

Municipal corporation of Katni;

Urban Administration and Development Department;
Town and Country Planning Department;
Madhya Pradesh Housing Board (MPHB);
Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB);
Department of School Education and Department of Higher Education;
Department of Public Health and Family Welfare (PHFW);

6.7.2 Coordination between Municipal Corporation and other departments

The responsibility of providing good governance in different sectors lies with different organizations.
These organizations and their functions in urban governance have been discussed in 6.7.1. A basic
coordination model which depicts coordination among various departments is shown in Exhibit 6-33.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 90

The responsibility of efficient urban governance lies with various government departments collectively.
While the responsibility of providing Water, Sanitation, Road, Solid Waste and Drainage falls solely on
Municipal Corporation, other functions are carried out in coordination with other departments. The
Street lighting is jointly undertaken with MPSEB. The provision of social infrastructure including Health
and Education primarily falls under Dept. of Public Health & Family Welfare and Education
respectively. City planning activities are jointly carried out by TCPD and Municipal Corporation.

6.7.3 Issues, Observations and Recommendations

3. Though roles of different organizations in the provisioning of urban services are clearly defined,
plans formulated by different organizations suffer because of lack of coordination among various
organizations.

4. In case of street lighting, responsibility of installation of electricity poles and their electrification
lies with MPSEB. Any failure in the coordination between Municipal Corporation and MPSEB
results in poor urban governance.

5. A substantial stretch of city land lies with Railways and any coordination issue between Railways
and Municipal corporation results in achieving the efficient service delivery of urban services.
Indian railways should be involved in the city planning at the initial stage itself to result in the
implementable plans.

6. MPPCB should be regularly contacted to keep a check on urban environment and curb pollution.

7. Municipal Corporation should maintain a healthy interaction for effective and comprehensive city
planning.

8. The Departments of Health and Education should be provided with necessary assistance in the
implementation of their plans and day-to-day activities.

9. MP Housing Board should consult Municipal Corporation at the planning stage to avoid any
issues later at the time of transfer of housing stocks to Municipal Corporation. Municipal
Corporation should consult MP Housing Board during the preparation of DPRs for various urban
services.

10. Meetings at regular intervals should be organized between various governing organizations for
effective urban governance.

(2 ) to formulate City Vision and Workshop (3 ) to finalize Strategies and Projects. Following a brief
mention of City Vision, this chapter mainly concentrates on Strategies, Projects and Priority Actions in
each sector. In addition to the identified projects, some recommendations have also been made to
further strengthen the service delivery in the area of various urban services.

8.1 Vision for Katni City

8.1.1 Definition
Developing a vision for the city is central to the preparation of a CDP. In this context, “City Vision” is a
statement concerning what a city wishes to achieve within a given timeframe, and is often expressed
in terms of clear expectations. It defines the potential of the city besides reflecting its unique attributes
in terms of comparative and competitive advantages, values and preferences of the city’s residents,
relationship of the city to the State, National and Global economies, and of course, the history and
physical characteristics of the city.

8.1.2 Formulation of City Vision

After completing a rapid assessment of the city’s infrastructure, physical and environmental aspects,
and institutional and financial status, several consultations, including Second Workshop, Group
Discussion and Individual Interviews, were held to develop a shared and collective vision for the city.
st
A workshop was held on May 1 , 2010, to explain the purpose of the CDP, the ownership of the plan,
and the need for establishing or strengthening partnerships to leverage Municipal Corporation’s role in
facilitating economic growth and improving quality of life. The officials of other government
departments such as Town & Country Planning, Health, Education, etc who have a stake in the
development of the city were also involved in this workshop. A visioning exercise was carried out with
the stakeholders to develop a shared vision for the city.

The consultations held so far were concluded with a visioning workshop with stakeholders. Municipal
Corporation officials and other stakeholders together carried out the visioning exercise at this
workshop. The workshop started with a plenary session in which the current status and gaps in
various services were presented to the stakeholders. It was followed by the mission statements and
the perceived needs of the stakeholders. The comparison also served to identify additional priorities
not mentioned by the Municipal Corporation officials as well as discrepancies between the services
provided by Municipal Corporation and the stakeholders’ perception of such services.

The Presentation by IMaCS team was followed by a questionnaire survey which aimed at eliciting
stakeholders’ perception of city, city’s infrastructure, major issues and where they want their city to be
in the future. This was followed by the ward-wise detailing of ward-specific problems and potentials
that can be harnessed for the development of ward and city.

8.1.3 Vision Statement for Katni City

From consultations with officials of Municipal Corporation and stakeholders and Second Workshop,
several themes emerged for vision statement. Some of them are:

Beautiful landscape, clean environment; educated; better employment opportunities

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 103

 Industrial city with adequate green space; Better interconnectivity among different parts of city
separated by railway lines.

Overall development, Green Katni, Clean Katni, Basic Amenities, Pollution Free

Proper arrangement of Health, Education, Transportation and other infrastructure facilities

with special focus on Environment.

Clean Katni, Adequate supply of water, Better Education and Health facilities

A prosperous city with equity among different sections of community. Better employment
opportunities to the youths of the city.

A properly managed city with special focus on transportation.

Developed city; Leader in education, health and employment opportunities;

Clean, Educated, Employed

Equipped with all basic amenities

Developed city; Latest technology; Improved educational infrastructure; planned development

of the city

Towards development; free from encroachments; better employment opportunities

Hence, an apt vision statement, which captures the perspectives of stakeholders and would promote
a sense of ownership among the stakeholders in city’s development, was formulated as:

“An Eco-City with a sound socio-economic base, with special focus on transportation and

agro-based and mineral-based industries, ensuring adequate access to physical and social

infrastructure facilities to all sections of the society.”

In addition to the outlining of a vision for the city, discussions were also carried out on the
identification of major themes which would serve as the watchwords for initiatives and actions to
achieve the vision. Some of the major themes that came out of workshop and consultations with
stakeholders are as follows:

The city should attain a key position in Agro-based and Mineral-based industries.
The city should be developed as a major intermodal transportation hub
The city should be developed in self-sufficient zones
Promote education, health institutions and a safe environment for the citizens.
8.1.4 Mission Statements for Katni’s tryst with its vision
To achieve the vision, certain Mission Statements are formulated on the basis of identified themes
which would be the various lines on which development should be concentrated. Based on
consultations with stakeholders and review of development plans of other cities, following Mission
Statements are being adopted to achieve the vision.

1. To provide citizens with world-class basic infrastructure facilities

All basic infrastructure facilities, viz. Water Supply, Sewerage & Sanitation, Storm Water
Drainage, Solid Waste Management, Roads & Transportation and Street Lighting & Fire

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 104

 Fighting, and social infrastructure facilities, viz. Health and Education, should be developed /
upgraded to support the economic and social development of the city.

2. To actualize the city’s existing economic potential and generate new opportunities for
the prosperity in all sections of the community.

An economic development plan should be devised for the harnessing of city’s economic
potential. It should concentrate on the diversification of economic base of the city so as to
reduce dependence on any particular factor.

3. To uplift the urban poor and bring them at par with other sections of the community

A comprehensive upliftment plan, comprising of employment generation, provisioning of basic

infrastructure and equal access to social infrastructure, for urban poor should be prepared to
address the existing disparity among the various sections of the community.

4. Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building

Preparation of an institutional action plan defines roles and responsibilities of various

stakeholder agencies. It would also target at the capacity of various stakeholder agencies in
terms of adequacy of staff and competitiveness for an efficient delivery. The issue of
“Motivation to work” should be an integral part of this plan.

5. Preparation of Resource Mobilization Plan

Preparation of a financial and operating plan that addresses the resource requirement for
implementation and maintenance of the “City Development Plan” and “Master Plan”
proposals.

6. Development of New areas through Town Planning Schemes.

Development of new areas through implementation of Town Planning Schemes. Detailed

development plan has to be prepared for the selected new areas with the guidance of master
plan /land use plan for the city.

These Mission Statements would serve the purposes of aligning/initiating development works with the
formulated vision, guidance during the policy formulations to achieve the goal and framework for the
coordination among the various stakeholder agencies.

8.2 Goals, Strategies, Projects and Priority Actions-Introduction

With the aim of achieving City Vision and Sector Goals, Sector Strategies, Projects and Priority
Actions were finalized through various Stakeholder Consultations.

The Strategies are being devised after discussing them on different platforms. The discussion on
strategies was initiated during the 2nd Stakeholder Consultation Workshop to orient them in the
direction of City Vision and Sector Goals. Subsequently, the strategies were finalized during 3rd
Stakeholder Consultation Workshop and a set of projects were identified in each sector. The
Strategies and Identified Projects were then presented to the Steering Committee.

The Projects in each sector have been identified by juxtaposing Gaps (Demand-Supply) and
Strategies to achieve the Sector Goal. While finalizing the list of projects (to be recommended under
CDP), due consideration was given to the ongoing projects and their contribution in meeting the
Gaps. The projects under CDP have been identified for the remaining Gaps after contribution from
Ongoing Projects have been accounted. Only those projects which have received approval from the
State Government are considered as Ongoing. A project for which only a proposal has been
submitted is not considered as Ongoing. The projects have been identified for two horizons, “Horizon-

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 105

1” and “Horizon-2” i.e. from year 2010 to year 2015 and from year 2016 to year 2035 respectively, on
the basis of Gaps (Demand-Supply) arising in the respective periods. In addition, specific projects,
recommended during stakeholder consultations, are also listed. Apart from Projects, Actions which
cannot be quantified as Projects but are equally vital to achieve the Sector Goals have been listed as
Priority Actions.

The subsequent sections of this chapter deal with Sector Goals and Strategies which are presented
under six heads:

1. Physical Infrastructure

has been covered under “Urban Environment.”
2. Mahanadi (Nearest Point at 20 Km).
3. Abandoned Mines (To be preceded by a comprehensive study on quality of Water).
Priority Actions
1. Rationalizing the connection costs and the procedures (for a new connection)

2. Unaccounted For Water (UFW)

Implementation UFW reduction measures in all parts of the city as an immediate measure by
conducting leak detection studies, rehabilitation of old pipe lines etc.

3. Legitimization illegal connections

By legitimizing illegal connections, KMC can achieve a reduction in revenue loss in a short
term.

4. Energy Audit Studies

High head pumping to provide water supply to the city leads to high power costs. A detailed
energy audit of all the water supply pumping and distribution system to address the problems
associated with energy should be carried out.

5. Water Quality Studies and Monitoring

The existing water analysis can be upgraded in phases. Latest equipments to upgrade the
existing laboratories should be procured for the analysis of chemicals and heavy metals. In
further phase, water quality equipment may be installed online at storage reservoirs.

6. Design and Implementation of Communication Strategy

For successful implementation of any change management process, effective communication

strategy among key stakeholders is proposed. The proposed strategy will draw upon a range
of communication channels, from interpersonal and group communication to mass media and
electronic forms.

7. Human Resources Development

Widespread investments in the water supply sector without sufficient attention to human
resource development results in poor sustainability of system. Recognizing the urgent need
for capacity building at different levels in water supply sector, KMC should develop human
resources in their organization.

8. Establishment of Regulatory Authority

Currently KMC is responsible for policy, service provision and regulation of water supply, and
sewerage, which makes it difficult to regulate the quality of service provision. The need of a

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 108

 separate regulatory authority should be evaluated which will facilitate, monitor and thus will
attempt to deliver the benefits of universal household water service to the urban poor.

9. Modernizing Financial Management and MIS

Modernization of financial management to improve finances, organizations, and human

capital practices. Efforts should also be made on revising accounting, auditing, and internal
control standards and computerizing customer databases.

10. Develop a comprehensive watershed management plan for the City including details of
groundwater availability, use, potential and develop a policy and legal framework to use and
replenish groundwater. Make land reservations for zones that are good for water recharge
and water conservation.

11. Metering of Water Connections

12. Identify potential and existing polluting sources

13. Implementation of Rainwater Harvesting System

8.3.2 Sewerage & Sanitation

Sector Goal
“To develop Katni as a clean and hygienic city by providing adequate safe sanitation facilities
supported by an efficient collection and disposal of municipal waste water.”

Strategies
1. Effective Waste Water collection and treatment plant;
2. Provision of safe Sanitation facilities to floating population and households that lack in-house
sanitation facilities;
3. Exploring possibility of Private sector participation.

Achievement Targets in Key Areas

To achieve the Goal decided for the sector, City would require focusing on the areas mentioned in
Exhibit 8-3. Exhibit 8-3 also provides tentative achievement targets in each of the areas that city
would require to achieve in a stipulated timeframe.

Identified Projects
The projects identified to meet the Gaps (Demand-Supply) in this sector are listed in Exhibit 8-4. The
list of identified projects recommended under CDP, is preceded by a list of Ongoing Projects. In
addition to the estimated Gaps (Demand-Supply), the contribution of Ongoing Projects in addressing
the expected demand has also been considered while identifying the projects for Horizon-1 and
Horizon-2.

Exhibit 8-4 Projects: Sewerage and Sanitation

A Ongoing Projects

At present, no project has been approved in this sector. However, a Detailed Project Report
(DPR) was prepared by Katni Municipal Corporation to develop a Sewerage System in Katni city.
This DPR was not approved by the concerned authority.

B Projects (Identified under CDP)

Sewerage:
To achieve the desired 100% sewerage coverage, the city should adopt a mixture of technical
options, including:

1. Fully On-site Sanitation: Septic Tanks or Twin Soak Pits

2. Fully Off-site Sanitation: Settled (Small bore) sewerage
3. Part on-site (Septic Tanks or Twin Soak Pits) / Part off-site (Conventional Sewerage)
4. Simplified sewerage with decentralized wastewater treatment
5. Mixed system
Among these options, option 4 i.e. Simplified Sewerage with Decentralized Wastewater
Treatment involves maximum capital investment. Hence, for the purpose of City Investment
Plan, option 4 has been taken in the consideration to avoid any budget issues at a later stage. It
also has lowest operation and maintenance cost as compared to other options.
Horizon-1 Horizon-2
Project Components (Additional)
Sewerage:
A. Underground Drainage Network (Total) 124 41
1. Street Collector Sewer Pipes (Km) 70 22
2. Branch Sewer Pipes (Km) 35 11
3. Trunk Sewer Pipes (Km) 19 8
B. Treatment Capacity (MLD) 26 8

Sanitation:
A. Public Sanitary Conveniences (Number of Seats) 227 120
B. Sanitation Facilities for Uncovered Households
1. Community Sanitary Conveniences (Number of Seats) 231 -
2. Pit Latrine (To be provided in Houses) 14563 -

At present, there are around 15,449 households which lack an in-house sanitation facility and
this number is expected to increase to 16,181 by year 2015-16. Hence, to meet the aim of
providing safe sanitation facilities to all, we have adopted a multipronged approach by
juxtaposing the current/future needs, optimum utilization of available resources and constructed

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 110

 Assets.
It has been assumed that the Uncovered Households will be provided the safe sanitation
facilities by two ways; In-house sanitation facility (Pit Latrine) and Community Toilets. Table
below provides an yearly break-up of Sanitation modes provided to the Uncovered Households.
It lists Type of Sanitation mode, Percentage (%) of Uncovered Households targeted, and
Number (No.) of Uncovered Households targeted. It can be seen that in year 2010-11, 20% and
10% of Initial Uncovered Households will be provided with Pit Latrine and Community Toilets
respectively whereas 70% of Initial Uncovered Households will continue to follow their existing
practice (assumed to be Open Defecation for calculation purpose) of defecation. In the
subsequent years, the percentage of Pit Latrine to Uncovered Households will be increased to
90% (by year 2015-16) and population resorting to Open Defecation will be minimized (assumed
to be zero for calculation purpose).
The Number of Community Toilets (mentioned in Table above) has been calculated assuming
a Household size of 5 and 35 users per seat of Community Toilet.

There shall be a system in place for assessing the existing sewerage quality. Latest
equipments shall be purchased to upgrade the existing laboratories for analysis of chemicals
and heavy metals.

2. Design and Implementation of Communication strategy

For successful implementation of any change management process, effective communication

strategy among key stakeholders is proposed. The proposed strategy will draw upon a range
of communication channels, from interpersonal and group communication to mass media and
electronic forms.

3. Human Resources Development

Widespread investments in the sewerage sector without sufficient attention to human

resource development results in poor sustainability of system. Recognizing the urgent need
for capacity building at different levels in sewerage sector, Corporation should develop human
resources in their organization.

4. Awareness Generation Programmes

 9 City Investment Plan
To achieve the formulated vision of Katni, a City Investment Plan (CIP) has been prepared through a
comprehensive process of assessment of gaps in physical and social infrastructure sectors, which
includes with the various rounds of the public consultations. This assessment has 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 the service delivery by efficiency
measures, improving service delivery by creating infrastructure assets and improving the governance
aspects of Katni Nagar Nigam. This section summarizes the capital investments required for creating
infrastructure assets and various strategic interventions required in the implementation of such
projects; these strategies are both investments oriented and administrative oriented.

9.1 City Investment Plan (CIP)

The City Investment Plan is a multi-year scheduling of identified and prioritized investments. The
scheduling or phasing of the plan is based on the assessment 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 by 2015-16.

The need for the CIP is on account of:

City growth and 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.

9.2 Institutionalising the CIP Process

The City Investment Plan is an important element and is significant in terms of the city’s management
process and sustainability with regard to the delivery of basic services. The CIP will also provide a
framework for the annual budget cycle of Katni Nagar Nigam for the next five years. As a part of Katni
CDP, CIP includes the following:

The desired service levels/ standards for infrastructure provision;

Identified the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the implementation of
identified projects;
Project phasing and strategies for implementation.

In Katni, Katni Nagar Nigam has the primary responsibility of delivering municipal services. So the
CDP proposals will have to be implemented by the Nagar Nigam. The projects, prioritization,
investment phasing, strategies and action plan are framed accordingly.

The CIP involved the identification of public facilities to cater demand of the city populace in the years
2015 and 2035. The projects have been identified through a demand-gap analysis for various urban
services. Identification of projects was followed by their prioritization based on the stakeholder’s
consultation. The projects identified are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilisation of
existing infrastructure systems and enhancing the capacity of the systems/services to cater to the
demands of future population. In addition to the projects which are related to major urban services,
CIP also includes developmental projects like greenery development, parking spaces, system
modernisation etc.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 135

The CIP and forecasted future needs for provision of capital facilities under each identified sector is
presented below. These assets will help Katni in improving the quality and coverage of service for the
current population as well as accommodate the expected increase in population. In some of the
sectors like source augmentation for water supply, development of landfill site etc, a planning horizon
of 25 years has been considered.

9.3 Summary of Investments

The total estimated capital investment required for providing efficient services to the present
population and future population of Katni by the year 2035 is Rs. 708.38 crores at constant prices. Of
the total identified investment a total of Rs. 428.99 crores of investment has been proposed till year
2015.

The planning horizon for the projects has been considered on the basis of demand generation in
various decades and degree of initial capital investment. Hence, some of the sectors have been
planned for the short term as well as the long term whereas some sectors have been divided into
various sub-parts in which some of the sub-parts have been planned for the long term only whereas
rest of the sub-parts have been planned for short term and long term.

The phasing of the identified projects and investments is based on the following principles.

Priority needs, with developed areas receiving priority over future development area;
Inter and intra-service linkages, viz. water supply investments shall be complemented by
corresponding sewerage/ sanitation improvements;
Size and duration of the requirements, including preparation and implementation period.

 10 Financial and Operating Plan
10.1 Introduction
The sustainable investment capacity of Katni Nagar Nigam is assessed through a Financial Operating
Plan (FOP), which gives a yearly forecast of finances for the short term i.e. year 2011-12 to year
2015-16. A salient feature of the FOP is that all outstanding dues, including debt and non-debt
liabilities if any, have been taken into account.
The accounts data of Katni Nagar Nigam for the financial years from year 2005-06 to year 2009-10
have been to determine the past trends in revenue and expenditure. The trends were then analyzed
to arrive at appropriate growth assumptions for various revenue and expenditure items. The
forecasting of revenue and expenditure accounts was followed by the factoring of capital investments
identified under CIP to assess the investment sustainability of Katni Nagar Nigam.

The project funding structure comprises funds from three different sources. These are grants, mainly
under UIDSSMT, loans and internal resources. Investment sustainability has been determined by an
iterative process so as to arrive at the optimal value for the municipal accounts (in terms of
surplus/deficit), opening balance, and Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). The objective of these
iterations was maximization of sustainability i.e. investment sustainable by Katni Nagar Nigam by its
own revenue resources. The methodology involves simultaneous optimization of DSCR, opening
balance and surplus/deficit such that DSCR is close to 1.25.
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

1. Revenue Account Receipts:
a. Taxes, Non Tax Sources, Assigned Revenue and
b. Grants, Contribution and Subsidies
2. Revenue Account Expenditure:
a. Establishment
b. Operation and Maintenance
c. Debt Servicing- Existing and New Loans
d. Phasing of non-debt liabilities, and
e. Additional O&M
3. Capital Income and
4. Capital Expenditure

10.2 Financing Strategies for the CIP

In determining a long-term financial strategy, Katni Nagar Nigam plans to raise resources and funds
for the CIP through:
Grants available under the UIDSSMT Framework (as percent of investment proposed for
funding by 2015 in Urban governance and infrastructure sectors - 80 percent Central Govt.
Grants and 10 percent State Govt. Grants). In this UIDSSMT grant is not considered for
capital cost towards projects identified for Economic development and Urban Governance.
Available internal resources and improving upon the same through
o Revision of the Unit Area Value at certain levels, which would lead to revision in
Annual letting Value (applicable for Katni Nagar Nigam )

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 160

 o Revision of Water charges at specific intervals. Though the revision in water tariff
should be done on annual basis to recover 100% of the O&M cost. However, annual
revision is not a general practice in all the ULBs across the state, so revision after
every five years is envisaged for projections.
o Introduction of Sewerage Charges in 2013-14, after implementing the Sewerage
Project
o Maintenance of the collection performance of taxes and charges at certain minimum
levels for current and for arrears
o Borrowings from market or financial institutions

10.3 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 Katni Nagar Nigam;
the investment sustaining capacity of Nagar Nigam is 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.

10.3.1 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 framework are presented below in Exhibit 10-1. In addition to Exhibit 10-1, Annexure F

10.3.2 Investment Capacity / Sustenance

Given the existing financial position of Katni Nagar Nigam, the revenue and capital accounts are
projected against the growth scenario and assumptions presented above. The City Investment Plan
(CIP) prepared in the previous chapter shows that the total investment required to develop Katni City
is Rs. 428.99 crore at constant prices till 2015 (of the total Rs. 708.38 crore investment identified
for funding till 2035). It includes about Rs. 80.99 crore towards Education and Health sector, which
are not provided by Nagar Nigam. Hence for FOP is generated from the sustainable investment point
of view in line with current growth trends against the identified investment for Nagar Nigam of Rs. 348
crore at constant prices till 2015, which excludes investment required for Health and Education
sector.

Base Investment Capacity

Base Investment Capacity is estimated considering business as usual case, where Katni Nagar
Nigam has not taken any grant under UIDSSMT scheme and has not done any reforms to increase
their revenue income. At this scenario Nagar Nigam will be able to sustain only 32.5 % of the total
investment identified for year 2015, which is about Rs. 113 crore at constant price and Rs. 137 crore
at current price.

Impact of Reforms on Investment Capacity of Katni Nagar Nigam

Following are the cases considered as shown in Exhibit 10-2 and sustainability was checked.

Scenario 1: With reforms in Property Tax, Water Charges and Sewerage charges
This case assumes the reforms in property tax, Water and Sewerage have been implemented and
accordingly the investment capacity has increased by Rs. 12.88 crore above the base investment
capacity. These reforms will increase the total sustainable capacity to 36.2%.

Scenario 2: Reforms and UIDSSMT grants along without debt Funding

This case assumes that all the reforms suggested above are being implemented and UIDSSMT
grants are also availed. In this scenario Nagar Nigam’s sustainable capacity will increase to 61.2%,
which is 25% in addition to scenario 1. Now Nagar Nigam will be able to sustain investment of about
Rs. 213 crore at constant price and Rs. 258 crore at current price.

Scenario 3: Reforms and UIDSSMT grants along with debt Funding

This case assumes that Nagar Nigam can increase their sustainable capacity by taking debt from any
financial institution or private banks in addition to the implementation of reforms suggested above and
grants under with UIDSSMT grants. In this scenario can sustain up to 64.8% of the total investment
identified, which is 3.6% more than without debt funding scenario. Now Nagar Nigam will be able to
sustain investment of about Rs. 225.5 crore at constant price and Rs. 272.93 crore at current price.

The impact of the different scenario on the investment sustainability of Katni Nagar Nigam is shown
below in Exhibit 10-3.

From the above analysis, it is very clear that ULB alone even with the grant support under UIDSSMT
scheme and reforms will not be able to implement 100% of the projects identified under the City
Investment Plan (CIP). But they can substantially increase their sustainable capacity with these
reforms. So, it is recommended that ULB along the support from UADD, GoMP should try to develop
few projects at PPP model and additional grant support from GoMP.

It is also recommended that on the same lines of the National Urban Information System (NUIS)
programme for strengthening of information system at Nagar Nigam level, GoMP should also provide
support to all the local bodies in Madhya Pradesh, which are not covered in the mentioned
programme.

 11 Urban Reforms
11.1 Introduction
In recent times, several initiatives have been taken by GoI and GoMP to a) improve infrastructural
facilities and help create durable public assets and quality oriented services in cities & towns, b)
enhance public-private-partnership in infrastructural development and, c) promote planned integrated
development of towns and cities. A key aspect in achieving the aforementioned goals is improvement
in Urban Governance and Service Delivery. The underlying objective of most of the recent initiatives
is to make ULBs financially sound and enable them to undertake new projects.

The main thrust of the revised strategy of urban renewal is to ensure improvement in urban
governance so that Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and para-statal agencies become financially sound
with enhanced credit rating and ability to access market capital for undertaking new programmes and
expansion of services. In this improved environment, public-private participation models for
provisioning of various services would also become feasible.

Among various schemes aimed at the urban renewal, the most important schemes are Jawaharlal
Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme
for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT). Whereas JNNURM has its own selection criteria for the cities
which can receive funding under it, UIDSSMT expands the ambit of beneficiaries to cover all
cities/towns as per 2001 census excepting cities/towns covered under JNNURM.

UIDSSMT aims at improvement in urban infrastructure in towns and cities in a planned manner. To
achieve this objective, State Governments, Urban Local Bodies and para-statal agencies are required
to accept implementation of an agenda of reforms as funding under UIDSSMT has been linked with
the ULBs performance towards the implementation of anticipated reforms.

The proposed reforms at various level of governance have been categorized into:

1. Mandatory Reforms at the level of the State Government;

2. Mandatory Reforms at the level of the Urban Local Body;
3. Optional Reforms at level of the State Government/Urban Local Body.

11.2 Mandatory Reforms at the level of the State Government

11.2.1 Implementation of the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act
Desired Objective
th
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/cities in implementing the 74
Amendment of the Constitution, with the objective of implementing decentralization measures. The
State should ensure meaningful association and engagement of Urban Local Bodies in planning the
function of para-statal agencies as well as the delivery of services to the citizens.

Current Status
1. The State Government has implemented 1) constitution of municipalities, 2) composition of
municipal councils, 3) reservation of seats for women, SCs & STs, 4) constitution of district
planning committees and, 5) incorporation of schedule 12 into the state municipal act. The
requirement of constitution of metropolitan planning committee has not been met as there is
no notified metropolitan area in the state.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 166

 2. In addition to incorporation of schedule 12 in the state municipal act, all the functions that
were required to be transferred to ULB has been transferred by MP state government to
ULBs.

3. The SFC has been constituted and recommendations have been submitted by the same.

Timeline for Reforms

All the reforms which were applicable under this section have been carried out.

11.2.2 Public Disclosure Law

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in Public Disclosure, with the
objective that municipalities and parastatal agencies will have to publish various information about the
municipality and its functioning on a periodic basis. Such information includes but is not limited to
statutorily audit statements of annual performance covering operating and financial parameters, and
service levels for various services being rendered by the municipality.

Current Status
GoMP has issued instructions to ULBs to disclose as much information as possible through different
means such as web sites, notice board, etc.

Timeline for Action on Reforms

1. The state government agrees to make provision for public disclosure and ULBs to pass such
a resolution in a stipulated time.

2. The state government has agreed to undertake all required reforms related to financial
statements in a stipulated time frame.

11.2.3 Rationalization of Stamp Duty

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/cities to rationalise Stamp Duty, with
the objective of establishing an efficient real estate market with minimum barriers on transfer of
property so as to be put into more productive use.

Current Status
Existing Stamp duty rates in Madhya Pradesh stands at 7.5% of the Market value. The
computerization of whole system is also in the progress.

Timeline for Reforms

GoI has been insisting on the gradual reduction of stamp duty to 5% and hence, GoMP has
committed to the same in a stipulated time frame. Though the process has been initiated, it has not
completed yet.

11.2.4 Repeal of Urban Land Ceiling and Regulation Act

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in the Repeal of ULCRA with the
objective of increasing the supply of land in the market, removing the inefficiencies and in the
establishment of an efficient land market.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 167

Current Status
The ULCRA has been repealed in the year 2000.

Timeline for Reforms

All the reforms under this section have been carried out.

11.2.5 Rent Control

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in Rent Control, with the
objective of having a system that balances the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants to
encourage construction and development of more housing stock, as well as promoting an efficient
and robust rental/tenancy market, so as to improve the availability of housing across all income
categories.

Current Status
The Draft of the new Act that will replace the existing Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act is
ready with the Housing and Environment Department. It was revised in the light of suggestions of
Finance/Law Dept. The State Cabinet in its meeting held on 27/06/2007 resolved to enact a new
Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act.

Despite its efforts, GoMP has not been able to carry out reforms related to revision of guidance values
and dispute resolution mechanism.

Timeline for Reforms

A timeframe for the remaining aspects of this reform has been decided to fulfill the requirements in a
stipulated time. In addition to this, process has been initiated to pass a resolution to establish a new
rent control system

11.2.6 Community Participation Law

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in Community Participation, with
the objective of institutionalising citizen participation as well as introducing the concept of the Area
Sabha in urban areas. The larger objective is to involve citizens in municipal functions, e.g. setting
priorities, budgeting provisions, etc. The Community Participation Law refers to the appropriate
provisions that need to be made in the state-level municipal statute(s) for the establishment of such a
3- or 4-tiered structure precisely as described above. These enactments will also need to ensure clear
definition of functions, duties and powers of each of these tiers, and provide for the appropriate
devolution of funds, functions and functionaries as may be decided by the State Government to these
levels.

Current Status
Completed – Mohalla samiti are constituted as the third tier.

Timeline for Reforms

1. Community Participation Law is proposed to be enacted on the basis of Model Community
Participation Law.
2. Constitution of Mohalla Committees to further decentralize the system.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 168

11.2.7 City Planning Functions
Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in the area of city planning, with
an objective to assign or associate elected ULBs with “city planning functions”.

Current Status
In this area, all reforms have been achieved with the transfer of powers related to the provisioning of
water supply & sewerage, public transport and solid waste management. This has been supported by
the association of ULB with city planning functions. This has been achieved by the active participation
of ULB in the preparation of city development plans.

Timeline for Reforms

All objectives of this reform except related to those of traffic and transport, have been achieved by
various measures taken by state government.

11.3 Mandatory Reforms at the level of the Urban Local Body

11.3.1 Municipal Accounting
Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in Municipal Accounting, with the
objective of having a modern accounting system based on double-entry accrual principles, leading to
better financial management, transparency and self-reliance.

Current Status
1. At present, Double Entry Cash Base system of accounting is being followed in KMC.
2. Double Entry Accrual Base accounting system is being adopted.
3. State has drafted its own accounting manual which has been revised as per the provision of
NMAM.
4. State has not modified its current laws and regulations to be in compliance with the double
entry accrual based accounting.
5. A resolution has been passed by Government expressing commitment to establish modern
municipal accounting system.

Timeline for Reforms

With the growing thrust on adoption of double entry accrual base system of accounting in state and its
several advantages over the existing system, KMC should strive to shift to the new system on the
immediate basis. Katni city should carry out all the requisites and migrate to the new system by year
2014-15. It is also recommended that KMC should adhere to timelines to achieve the objectives of
this reform by year 2015-16.

11.3.2 E-Governance
Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in E-Governance, with the
objective of having a transparent administration, quick service delivery, effective MIS, and general
improvement in the service delivery link.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 169

Current Status
Till now, few of the services have been covered by e-governance applications. The applications which
were proposed to bring under e-governance are registration of births & deaths, public grievance
redressal, payment of property tax and bills of other utilities, municipal accounting, works
management system, etc.

Timeline for Reforms

To achieve the objectives of this reform, city would be required to bring many of its services and
procedures under the ambit of e-governance. As the first step, city should procure equipments
required for various applications by year 2011-12, which should be followed by the capacity building
exercises aimed at enabling existing staff and recruitment of new staff competent to carry out the
required duties. The city should aim to carry out registration of births & deaths, public grievance
redressal, payment of property tax and bills of other utilities, municipal accounting, and works
management system through computerization by year 2015-16.

11.3.3 User Charges

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in the levy of User Charges on
different municipal services, with an objective of securing effective linkages between asset creation
and asset maintenance and ultimately leading to self-sustaining delivery of urban services.

Current Status
At present, MC levies user charges only for Water supply. Municipality charges Rs 750 as connection
fee for every new connection irrespective of type of consumer. The tariff structure for the same is
provided in Exhibit 6-4.

Timeline for Reforms

Firstly, MC should establish a proper accounting system for Water Supply and should subsequently
expand this system to other services such as solid waste management, sewerage, etc. The
accounting system for water supply should be established together with the reforms related to
municipal accounting. A proper accounting system should be in place for all the municipal services by
year 2014-15. During this period, ULB should work in coordination of state government to define a
user charge structure and service standards for each of the services. These initiatives should result in
full recovery of O&M costs by year 2015-16

11.3.4 Basic Services to the Urban Poor

Desired Objective
Provision of basic services to the poor including security of tenure at affordable prices, improved
housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery of other existing universal services of the
Government for education, health and social security.

Current Status
The municipality attempts to universalize the coverage of services such as water supply, sanitation,
solid waste management and other infrastructure facilities but has not achieved any break through
due to the location disadvantage of these areas and inadequacy of funds available. MC has also been
coordinating with other agencies for the unversalization of services like health and education.

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 170

Timeline for Reforms
The MC should attempt to increase the coverage of all services so that all urban poor have access to
a minimum level of service. This can be achieved by means of various sub projects in a phased
manner. Schemes like IHSDP should address the issue of housing and rehabilitation whereas all new
projects should consider delivery of services to the poor as a part of their primary objective. All
projects identified under CIP should give a due importance to coverage of city’s poor population. In
addition to the new developmental works, works related to upgradation or strengthening of service
delivery mechanism should also focus on the city’s poor population. City should target a period 5
years to cover all urban poor with basic services.

11.3.5 Internal earmarking for basic services for poor

Desired Objective
UIDSSMT requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in the provision of basic services
to the Urban Poor, with an 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 is to be ensured.

Current Status
State has identified all Urban Below-Poverty-Line families using financial and non financial criteria.
While financial criterion uses monthly income as the parameter, non financial criterion attempts to
cover social factors such as housing, water & hygiene, education, literacy, employment,

Timeline for Reforms

A detailed survey to identify the needs of urban poor in the areas of infrastructure and socio-economic
upliftment should be carried out. Based on the findings of this survey and an institutional support from
the state government, municipality should allocate certain percentage, ranging from 20 to 25 %, of
their expenditure for the urban poor.

11.3.6 Property Tax

Desired Objective
JNNURM requires certain reforms to be undertaken by states/ cities in Property Tax, with the broad
objective of establishing a simple, transparent, non-discretionary and equitable property tax regime
that encourages voluntary compliance. States/cities need to ensure that their desirable objectives for
reforms include these reforms, but need not restrict themselves to these items.

Current Status
Currently, KMC levies property tax on residential, commercial and industrial properties. The property
tax is being calculated on the basis of Unit Area method.

Timeline for Reforms

Considering the low collection efficiency and gap between properties liable to pay property tax and
properties that actually pay, property tax reforms should carried out on the immediate basis to
improve the municipal revenues.

11.4 Optional Reforms at level of the State Government/Urban Local Body

This category consists of reforms are not mandatory and should be taken up by state/ULB on their
own convenience. The status of optional reforms is provided in Exhibit 11-1.

Extension in Municipal Area
As the existing area of Katni Municipality is already being developed and in future to meet the
demand of growing population, it is anticipated that municipal limits will get extended to the planning
area boundary of Katni city. The extended boundary would include the 14 villages such as Matwaar
Padriya, Pipariya, GaataaKhedi, Chhehri, Devri, Kachhgwa, Tikariya Majhgwa, Kailwara Khurd,
Chaaka, Lamtra, Johla, Hirwaara, Ghatkhirwa and Imaliya. The extended area would help in reducing
the immense pressure on the infrastructure of the existing city.

As per the development plan of Katni, the addition of the new villages will increase the Municipal area
to about 58.92 Sq.km. List of villages along with their areas is given below:

Demography

As per Census 2001, Katni Municipality has a population of 1, 87,029, which will be increased by
additional population of extended area.

For the existing Municipal Area and population the detailed analysis and recommendation are already
discussed in the Chapter 3, 6, and 8 etc. So recommendation in this section will be limited to the
additional area and additional population. It should be read along with the recommendation suggested
for existing areas.

Population Projections

The present growth rate of these villages is very less, therefore while projecting the future population
of this area we have assumed the growth rate as 2.7% which is same as the growth rate of the urban
area in Katni. As Katni is growing at a very fast pace due to the growth of various economic activities
in the area therefore it is expected that the surrounding area would also grow at the same growth rate.

The infrastructural facilities for the extended area have been proposed for the extended area.

Infrastructural Facilities

Physical Infrastructure

Water Supply: The existing source of water supply in the extended area is tube wells. But
once this area will become part of Katni Municipality, the water supply will be administered by
Katni Municipality. All the areas will have to connect by network of ESR & GSRs with
distribution network. As the additional villages are very sparsely populated. We recommend
that water supply distribution network should be developed in phased manner.

Sewerage System: As the extended area is very sparsely populated there is no sewerage
system prevailing in the area. We recommend that septic tanks should be proposed to cater
the needs of the existing population; this system can be upgraded as soon as it comes under
the jurisdictions of the municipality.

Solid Waste Management: Currently the extended area does not face any serious problems
related to solid waste management because it is very sparsely populated. ULB will be
responsible for managing the solid waste in the extended area when it will be included in the
municipal limits.

Roads: At present the connectivity in the extended area is very poor. Several roads have
been proposed for better connectivity in the the extended area/planning area as per the
Master Plan 2021. Therefore the ULB should provide better linkages by connecting the rural
areas with the major state and national highway passing from the city.

Social Infrastructure

Health Facilities: At present the health facilities in the region are very poor. The rural
population has to visit Katni or even Jabalpur for getting Medical facilities. Therefore it is
important to provide medical facilities at different levels in order to reduce the burden from the
medical infrastructure in Katni. We also recommend that the medical facilities should be
located on major junctions and major roads which can be easily accessible for all parts of the
extended area requirement.

Educational Facilities: The status of educational infrastructure is very similar to the health
infrastructure. There are no schools, colleges catering to the needs of the people. The rural
population generally goes to Katni and even Jabalpur for higher education which increases

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 175

 the burden on already overburdened cities, therefore it is necessary to provide educational
infrastructure catering to the needs of the extended area.

Proposed land use:

Residential

At present these villages are very sparsely populated, so there is very little chance of development in
the distant areas. We also recommend on the same line of the Master Plan recommendation that
development will be more in surrounding areas of existing Municipal area. The probable residential
area is shown the map below.

Commercial

The present commercial sector of Katni is currently located in the central city on the major roads. This
leads to the traffic congestion due to excessive parking on the streets. Therefore in order to reduce
the excessive burden from the infrastructure of the core city, major commercial centres would be
located in the extended area

Major interventions

Development of logistic Hub for Transshipment, Storage, Collection and Distribution of goods.

Riverfront development.

Recreational

As the Katni city is very congested it is expected to face enormous pressure on the infrastructure due
to increase in population which will cause traffic problems and also lead to environmental degradation
due to industrial pollution. Therefore it is very important to develop a green belt within the city in order
to control the environmental degradation.

Major interventions

Development of 100 m Green belt along Katni River and 15m green belt along all the nallahs
in the city

Development of buffer zone by tree plantation along the railway line which would also act as a
continuity of open spaces

Stadium and swimming pool for encouraging sport related activities in the city.

Sector Suggestions

Water Supply Rainwater Harvesting should be promoted.

Efforts to maintain the water table
Solid waste should be prevented from mixing with water in the mines
Drainage Existing Drainage system needs a major revamping as it is totally
dilapidated and has been encroached at many places.
Efforts should be concentrated towards the development of a new
properly planned drainage system
As an immediate measure, all the open drains should be periodically
cleaned to prevent flooding of the city during monsoon and other
occasional rains. Clean and properly maintained “open drains” would
also contribute towards the beautification of Katni City.
Sewerage & Sanitation City, in general, is not equipped with a Sewerage system except a few
places. A sewerage system should be developed at the earliest.
Number of public toilets should be increased as city, at present, has an
inadequate number of public toilets and this causes many problems to
people who do not have facility of private toilets.
Any planning for establishment of new public toilets should consider the
movement of people in the city.
Solid Waste The primary issue in this system is related to the disposal of solid
Management waste. New disposal sites should be identified and existing disposal
sites should be properly maintained according to recognized norms in
practice.
Best practices from other places can be used to improve the efficiency,
effectiveness and coverage of solid waste collection.
Traffic & Overall health of the roads should be inspected and necessary actions
Transportation should be taken wherever required.
Records should be verified to check the extent of encroachments and
strict actions should be taken against the encroachers.
Roads should be widened wherever required to keep a check on
congestion and accidents.
Parking areas should be planned.
Monuments which hinders the smooth flow of traffic should be
relocated to other places
Environment Pollution of Katni River from natural and man-made drains should be
curbed.
Provisions should be made for “open spaces” in the city.
Programmes related to Tree plantation should be initiated and given
due importance
Markets & Commercial Encroachers should be provided with alternate spaces. This issue
Areas should be dealt in detail as failure to address this issue can render all

 Findings of Questionnaire Survey
Introduction
The Vision stakeholder workshop also involved a questionnaire survey to elicit stakeholders’
responses on key issues faced by city and extent of their severity. A questionnaire was designed by
IMaCS team to gain a comprehensive understanding of city-level and ward-specific issues
encountered by citizens of Katni. The questionnaire survey tried to obtain stakeholders’ vision of city,
prioritization of criticality of various urban services and prioritization of criticality of various
components in each sector.

Questionnaire
The questionnaire was divided into two parts; one corresponding to the entire city and the second part
corresponding to the ward specific issues.

In the first part of the questionnaire, questions pertaining to the whole city were included such as
important aspects of the city, economic drivers, physical & social infrastructure, etc. The respondents
were asked to rank the criticality of the issues on a scale of 1 to 9 with 1 being most critical and 9
being the least. The guidelines to decide the criticality included importance of a particular sector in
city’s development and existing status of the sector. These sectors were further divided into various
components and respondents were again asked to rank the criticality of these components. This
provided the information corresponding to the adequacy of the supporting infrastructure and facilities
related to these sectors. The sectors included in the questionnaire were: Road network, Road surface
condition, Water Supply, Sewerage facility, Storm water drainage, Solid waste management, Health
facilities, Education facilities, and Greenery and adequacy of open space e.g. adequacy of parks,
lawns in the city etc.

In the second part of the questionnaire, a detailed survey of ward-wise infrastructure facilities was
carried out. The approach and methodology adopted in this part was same as that followed in the first
part of the questionnaire. Each respondent was asked to respond with respect to the ward he/she
belongs to.

The data collected through the questionnaire survey was analyzed to prioritize various
sectors/services of the city according to their criticality. In addition to this, various components of each
sector were also prioritized in order to identify the critical areas of all urban sectors/services. The data
set included 30 responses for each question of the questionnaire.

Analysis of responses of Questionnaire survey

According to majority of respondents, the key aspects that are central to the unique identity of Katni
city are:

1. Host to a big Railway Junction and Railway yard

2. Vicinity to Mines and a major centre for marble

3. Excellent intermodal connectivity

4. Agriculture Markets

5. Hub for Trading and Commercial Activities

A basic analysis which includes percentage of respondents who have ranked various infrastructure
sectors on a scale of 1 to 9 is given in Table 1. So, the value corresponding to Rank 1 and Road
Network is the percentage of respondents who think that Road network is the most critical sector in

City Development Plan – Katni Municipal Corporation 198

Katni. A brief study of Table 1 suggests that Availability of Water, Handling of Sewerage and Road
Network and its health are among the most critical problems of Katni city.

Table 1 Status of Infrastructure Facilities

Road Network 16% 20% 12% 12% 4% 0% 8% 12% 16%

Parks 0% 0% 8% 4% 8% 8% 4% 24% 44%

In addition to a preliminary analysis, an overall rank for each sector was derived out of cumulative
perception in terms of its criticality. A decreasing rank order of various infrastructure facilities is given
in Table 2.

Table 2 Ranking of Infrastructure Facilities

Rank Infrastructure Facility

1 Availability of water
2 Sewerage facility
3 Road Surface Condition
4 Road Network
5 Storm Water Drainage
6 Health Facility
7 Education facility
8 Solid Waste Management
9 Parks, Lawns
Source:IMaCS Analysis

The ranking thus obtained lays down a path for prioritization of development works in the city. It would
also help to synchronize the usage of developmental funds and the priorities of the city. It should be
kept in mind that Table 2 is only an indicator of relative criticality of various sectors/services with
respect to each other.

A detailed analysis was carried out for each sector in order to identify the most critical problem within
each sector. The findings of this analysis will be useful while devising City Investment Plan, Annual
Action Plan and Prioritization of projects within each sector. Table 3 lists most critical problems in
some of the urban sectors.

For the social infrastructure, stakeholders were asked to rank their perception on a scale of 1 to 4 with
1 being Good, 2 being Satisfactory, 3 being Poor and 4 being Very Poor. Table 4 quantifies the
stakeholders’ perception in terms percentage of responses that allotted every facility a particular rank.
Table 4 indicates that the city in-general suffers from poor social infrastructure which includes parks,
proper markets & parking space, recreational activities, and good education and health care.

the residents, local body as well as
the participant company. Hence,
IVRCL, a leading construction
company, was selected through a
competitive bidding process to
construct pumping mains, lift
stations and distribution mains.
The state government and the
town’s residents had to bear the
capital costs of the project and
participate in the implementation.
Planning: Proposed sewerage system was
targeted at benefiting a population of 3
lakh people. It was to attain completion
within 5 years from its inception date.
The project had the following features:
A sewerage network consisting of
the main sewer line, branch sewer
line and manholes.
A sewage pumping station.
A sewage treatment plant.
Low cost sanitation.
The sewerage was to cover an area of
120kms, including 19kms for the main
sewer and 101 Kms for the branch
sewer lines.
Implementation: The project was implemented in 2
phases. First phase of the project
targeted the completion of 50% of the
branch sewers, main sewers, pump
house including installation of
machinery, pumping main, and one 12
MLPD capacity sewage treatment
plant.

The infrastructure will extend
throughout many parts of the town,
where pipes for new secondary and
tertiary sewer networks will be
buried within or alongside
roadways.
A new trunk sewer will be buried
alongside the Road.
There will be a new Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP) of 8 MLD.
The proposed sewer network will
comprise construction of 8 MLD
sewage treatment plant (with waste
stabilization pond process), laying
of Trunk main sewer line dia varying
from 700mm to 900mm, 5.9 km and
laterals sewers dia varying from
200-mm to 600mm, 32.49 km.
For house service connection it has
been proposed that 110&160mm
OD Upvc pipes (4 to 6 per
manholes) would be used. The
house service connection is
normally to the manholes. However,
provisions for required numbers of
