East of Kailash and Kalkaji: Site Specific Design For Ward Number 194 and Ward Number 196
It is said that for an artist to join establishment is a kiss of death. I was fully aware of this
aphorism when the Minister of Urban Development, Mr. Kamal Nath, asked me to be the
Chairman of the Delhi Urban Art Commission. I had three conditions before accepting
the assignment and one of these was that DUAC should be allowed to carry out site
specific studies for improving slums and unauthorized colonies. Subsequently, the Minister
along with the then Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Mr. Tejendra Khanna, and Secretary,
Ministry of Urban Development, Dr. Sudhir Krishna, approved the proposal to carry out
three dimensional studies for improving slums and unauthorized colonies. I am grateful for
their support.
I would like to thank other members of the Commission, Eric P. Mall, Satish Khanna, Sonali
Bhagwati and D. Diptivilasa for helping to make success of problematic urban design
exercises and charting new paths.
I take this opportunity to thank senior consultants, architects, urbanists and planners as
well as younger colleagues who have been working full time. DUAC Secretary, Vinod
Kumar, and other permanent staff have enthusiastically supported us and guided us
through government procedures. Many thanks to all of them.
