Acknowledgment
The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has launched the Capacity Building for Urban
Development (CBUD) project – supported by the World Bank – to give a thrust to implementation of
reforms proposed to be undertaken by urban local bodies. The CBUD project has identified issues for
intervention and areas of technical assistance that are required in 30 cities across the country that
were identified under the project for Technical Assistance. Formulation of new/revised city
development plans (CDP) is one such initiative. First-generation CDPs were prepared for most of the
cities under the JnNURM/UIDSSMT programme of GoI; these are proposed to be revised under this
project as per the revised CDP guidelines issued by MoUD in April 2013.
CRISIL Risk and Infrastructure Solutions Limited (CRIS) would like to thank MoUD for giving it an
opportunity to work on this prestigious assignment. CRIS would like to express its sincere gratitude for
the guidance and support provided by Dr.Sameer Sharma, IAS, Joint Secretary (Smart Cities);

Executive summary
st
The 1 generation CDP for Allahabad was prepared in 2006 by the Allahabad Municipal Corporation
(AMC). The revision of CDP for the Allahabad city has been prepared in keeping with the objectives of
the CBUD project to address the major constraints of urban development and specifically focus on the
capacity building requirements for successful urban management and poverty reduction across the
selected ULBs in India.
Allahabad is also known as Prayag. The city was founded by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the year
1575 AD, and was called „Illahabas‟. Today Allahabad is one of the major cities of Uttar Pradesh, it is
the city of religious significance both at the national and international level. The presence of the holy
Triveni Sangam, which is the confluence of the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, further
strengthens the strategic influence that Allahabad has in the state and the region. The Magh Mela is
an annual event and the Kumbh Mela is celebrated every twelve years and Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela is
celebrated every six years.
Allahabad city is one of the largest commercial centers in Uttar Pradesh; it also has the second-
highest per capita income and the third-greatest GDP in the state. Allahabad is basically an
administrative and educational city. The High Court of Uttar Pradesh, Auditor General of Uttar
Pradesh, Principal Controller of Defense Accounts (Pension) (PCDA), Uttar Pradesh Madhymik
Shiksha Prishad (UP Board) office, Police Headquarters, Allahabad University, Moti Lal Nehru
National Institute of Technology, Medical and Agriculture College, Indian Institute of Information
Technology (IIIT), ITI Naini and IIFCO Phulpur are situated in the city.
Allahabad is well-connected with other parts of the country by rail and road network. Varanasi is at a
distance of 116 km and Kanpur is at a distance of 187 km from Allahabad. Both the cities are
connected with Allahabad via NH-2. Overall, the city‟s connectivity and historic significance played a
major role in making it an important city in the region.
The main industries of Allahabad are tourism, fishing and agriculture. There are secondary activities
and manufacturing which may be registered or unregistered. Another aspect is large number of
constructions taking place in Allahabad which again improvises the city's economy. The third All India
Census for Small Scale Industries shows that there are more than 10,000 unregistered small-scale
industry units in the city. An Integrated Industrial Township is also proposed in 1200 acres of area in
Allahabad under Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India.
The commercial structure of Allahabad has its CBD incorporated in the oldest section of the city,
Meerganj, supporting nearly 70% of the total business of the city. Among the activities being practiced
are – utensil market, cloth market, cycle market, gur mandi, spice market, general merchandise, oil
and ghee mandi, stationery stores, grain market, timber/ furniture mandi, fruit and vegetable market.
Given this scenario, there is need to develop physical and social infrastructure of the city, the
industrial corridors and mass transit facilities to connect the residential zones to the employment
zones.
In light of this through participatory development of CDP for Allahabad the vision has been formulated
as “A hi-tech city together with continuing cultural and religious traditions by laying an good
focus on religious tourism. The traditional education of the city shall be given maximum thrust
for it to come a knowledge hub”.

City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
The sectors such as water supply, sewerage and sanitation, solid water management, storm water
drainage, traffic and transportation, urban poverty and slum improvement, local economic
development, urban environment, social infrastructure, and tourism and heritage management are
covered under the development goals to realize the vision. The development goals have been framed
on the basis of priority areas, to achieve the Vision for the city and to meet the desired sector specific
service level benchmarks and indicators. Thus the sector specific development goals have been
substantiated with detailed action plan.
The project identification has been carried out on the basis of demand-gap analysis. Further, the
sector strategies and action plans have been finalized based on discussions with relevant
stakeholders. The goals and service outcomes are envisaged to be implemented by 2021 as an
immediate priority. The projects identified involve rehabilitation of existing infrastructure systems and
augmentation of the capacity to meet the demands of future population.
Water supply
In case of water supply, the key problem is old and dilapidated distribution network, high NRW
level, low cost recovery, and low quality of water supplied. As per our assessment the city
requires about 418 MLD of water by the end of 2041 to meet the demand of 2041. In addition, to
provide continuous water supply, the city would require augmenting treatment capacity by 149
MLD, install water supply meters, and refurbishment of existing OHTs.
The key issues in case of sewerage and sanitation are lack of underground drainage (UGD)
system and sewerage treatment facility. Only 25% of the AMC area is covered with UGD network.
Ongoing works under JICA and JNNURM need to be expedited. Further, the sanitation facilities in
slums and public toilets in tourist places need to be addressed by AMC. Most of the projects have
been approved and are being implemented under various schemes.
As per the gap analysis and discussion with officials, there is a need to lay pipelines to carry
treated water, construction public community toilets and procure sewerage cleaning equipment.
procurement of busses, construction of bus and truck terminal, and various pedestrian friendly
proposals.
Social infrastructure
The key challenges in social and cultural infrastructure space are lack of adequate education
infrastructure for pre-primary, primary, and higher secondary education. Further there is a need
for development of health care infrastructure at both neighborhood and city level. Further, Socio-
cultural infrastructure such as community centers is to be developed. The requirement for
development of schools, hospitals, socio cultural facilities and parks and playgrounds have been
assessed as per the URDPFI guidelines
The action plan includes mapping of water bodies, eviction of encroachments, and construction of
rainwater harvesting pits, implementing pollution mitigation strategies, and diligent impact
assessment and monitoring for infrastructure projects.
To cope up with the natural and manmade disasters in the city, establishment of Disaster
management cell at AMC with emergency response system has been proposed, in addition
development of river front has been proposed, planting of trees, and laying of conduits to avoid
digging and reduce air pollution.

On the expenditure side, the revenue expenditure has increased from Rs 6284 lakhs in 2008-09 and
Rs 9188 lakhs in 2012-13 registering a CAGR of 13%. Composition of Revenue expenditure over the
recent years has changed compared to the average trend on account of increase in O&M cost. The
salary expenditure as a percentage of total revenue expenditure has increased from 73% to 78%.
The analysis of revenue income and expenditure demonstrates that revenue account of AMC was in
surplus only in 2011-12. This indicates the deficiency of Revenue Income to meet the Revenue
Expenditure on regular basis. On an average, the operation ratio is 1.05 it indicates the AMC is not
able to manage the Revenue Expenditure. The deficit is being met through grants.
AMC has not taken any loans or municipal bonds during the review period. Capital Expenditure (CE)
consists of regular capital works as well as capital works funded by specific grants / scheme e.g.
JNNURM. The AMC‟s capital expenditure increased from Rs. 3290 lakhs in 2008-09 to Rs. 15,807
lakhs in 2012-13, registering a CAGR of 68%.

AMC Investment
The overall the investment required for the year 2041 is Rs 5748 crores. However, AMC would be
responsible to take-up the projects worth Rs 3385 crores and the remaining investment to be taken-
up by the Parastatals/state government departments. The sector wise breakup of AMC‟s investment
for 2021 and 2041 has been presented in the table below.
Given the existing financial position of AMC, the revenue and capital accounts of AMC are projected
against the growth scenario. The FOP is generated from the sustainable investment point of view in
line with the current growth trends against the identified investment.

For the preparation of FoP for AMC, we have adopted the methodology as provided in the revised CDP toolkit.

Based on the past trends, it is assumed the funding structure would remain same as it was in the JNNURM;
[6]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
The overall investment estimated is Rs. 3385 crores (on constant prices). However, as per the current
prices, the estimated investment would be Rs. 4371 crores (which includes the cost escalation and
physical contingencies). It is observed that without any grant support, AMC can implement projects
worth Rs. 306 crores only. Based on the availability of grants, AMC can take up priority projects in the
area of sewerage and sanitation, solid waste management, and traffic and transportation.Thus there
is need to augment investment capacity by implementing revenue enhancement measure and
implement mandated reforms to enable it to access state and central grants i.e. achieve improved
case investment capacity.
Given the importance of Allahabad city in the region, it is very important to improve the basic
infrastructure facilities and tourism related to attract tourists and investment and industries in the city
and further to boost the economic development in the region.
Therefore, AMC should aim to implement the improved case investment capacity (Rs. 1923
crores) with grant support for state and central governments. Following key steps to be taken by
AMC to achieve the improved case scenario investment:
On immediate basis, reforms are to be implemented in property tax to improve the coverage
and collection efficiency; the reforms could be policy levels change to streamline the
department.
Water and sewerage tariff structure is to be revised immediately. AMC should explore the
volumetric tariff structure for the metered water connections.
AMC should levy the user charges on SWM services – AMC may explore this initiative as
part of property tax.
AMC should explore the outsourcing of certain function to reduce establishment
expenditure.
AMC should ensure that the contractor carries out the O&M of the assets (WTP, STP, and
SWM plant) for a period of 5-8 years after the completion of test run.
AMC should curtail the regular capital expenditure over the next 5-10 years. AMC should
take up only priority works in wards.
AMC should explore the PPP route to implement either the projects or project components.
Thus the CDP embodies the approach methodology and implementation action which can facilitate
the development of the Allahabad city. However to facilitate this there is also need to streamline and
strengthen the institutional arrangements to implement the development plan. In this context it is
important that requisite institutions system and capacities are in place. The AMC has over the years
undertaken several initiatives to reform the urban governance and implement reforms at the city level.
However there is need to further and deepen these initiatives, these and associated aspects are also
discussed in the report

1. Project Background
1.1 Context
The need for an overall urban improvement and development to sustain the economic growth
momentum post the liberalization era first found its expression in the mandate of JNNURM launched
by the Government of India in 2005. The project endeavored to bring about an improvement in urban
quality of life and make them as investment destinations. The programme derived its initial rationale
from the “National Common Minimum Programme” of the Government of India that laid stress on
expansion of physical infrastructure and therefore, comprehensive urban renewal and slum
development could be taken up. The second rationale for such a large scale programme was derived
from India‟s International commitment to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and therefore,
the Government of India (GoI) proposed to:
In recognition to the above mandate, the JNNURM programme was conceived. The scale of the
programme was aimed to be in a mission mode primarily to make the cities to realize their full
potential and become engines for growth. It was opined that the urban sector contributes to over 50%
of the country‟s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and therefore, focused attention is required for urban
infrastructure development.
As already mentioned above, the JNNURM is the first flagship national programme for urban
development of this nature and size by the Government of India. The programme sought to bring
about a change in the very manner of looking at urban development. It recognized the importance of
two major aspects for urban development in the country including:
the need for urban infrastructure improvement in order to improve quality of life and
sustain the local economy as well as to attract more investments; and
the need for investment for carrying out the urban infrastructure improvements.
In doing the above, the programme brought about the necessary awareness among the Urban Local
bodies (ULBs) for planning and implementation of projects, need for systematizing the urban services
and their management, the need for involving stakeholders in project planning and raising revenues
for the urban areas that can sustain the urban infrastructure. Significant emphasis was given to urban
governance reforms and the need to link reforms with investments. Assistance therefore, to the state
governments and ULBs was proposed to flow through a reforms linked plan. Introduction of such
reforms were considered crucial for developing sustainable infrastructure that would include:
Both these aspects were to be achieved through the agenda of reforms in the cities.
Progress
Over the past seven years, the programme has committed over Rs. 286 billion for 552 projects
involving a total investment of over Rs. 620 billion. Some of the key achievements of the project
include:
[8]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
The mission has been successful in catalyzing multi-year investments and reformed
development in urban infrastructure.
There has been visible improvement in the delivery of municipal services in many cities.
Some cities have prepared development/master plans for the first time. There is also greater
awareness in the ULBs for the need to develop systematic plans for improvement in
infrastructure. There is also an increase in aspiration levels among communities and there is
a demand for better infrastructure and services.
Several projects especially in transport sector have been taken up within the JNNURM
framework that has significantly improved the quality of life in the cities.
There has been good progress in implementation of reforms at policy level at state and
central level. Most of the states have framed their policies on reforms and started
implementing the same. ULBs are started implementing the reforms in the areas of
accounting and e-governance
While there has been significant change in the urban sector due to JNNURM at the same there has
been challenges which needs to be addressed going forward
CDP was seen as an investment plan for projects in the immediate term and not as a vision
document for the city with very limited cities revising the same.
While preparing the CDP, consultations with the stakeholders was limited and mostly
restricted to the line departments and parastatal agencies.
The pace of project execution has been found to be slow. Some states have been able to
take greater advantage of the programme than others.
Cities have also not been very successful in leveraging JNNURM funds to raise finances on
their own or to attract private or PPP-based investment.
The ULBs are not in a position to take over all the functions mentioned under 12th schedule
th
of 74 CAA at present. Most ULBs are also not in a position to take over functions like roads
and bridges, water supply sewerage, drainage and urban forestry due to their present
incapacity to do so.
Institutional strengthening and capacity buildings initiatives are yet to initiate in most of the
ULBs. Most of the ULBs are facing capacity related issues such as lack of staff (staff
recruitment has not been carried since long)
In order to give an impetus to reforms under JNNURM, the MoUD and Ministry of Housing and Urban
Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) have launched a new project called “Capacity Building of Urban
Development” (CBUD). The project has been launched with support from The World Bank (WB). The
GoI has received the financing from the WB /International Development Association (IDA) towards
[9]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
CBUD project. The broad aim of the CBUD project is to address the major constraints of urban
development and specifically focus on the capacity building requirements for successful urban
management and poverty reduction across the selected ULBs in India.
The project will contribute to GoI‟s overarching objective of creating economically productive, efficient,
equitable and responsive cities. Achieving this objective, will help sustain high rates of economic
growth, accelerate poverty reduction, and improve services, especially to the urban poor.
The project has following three components:
1. Capacity Building for Strengthened Urban Management. This component is aligned with
the infrastructure and governance sub-mission of JNNURM and will thus support technical
assistance across the several urban management topics.
2. Capacities Building for Effective Urban Poverty Monitoring and Alleviation these
capacity building initiatives are aligned with the basic services to the urban poor sub-
mission. They reflect the need for building information systems, sharing experiences, and
designing strategies on urban poverty alleviation.
3. Implementation Support. This component will support a national Project Management Unit
(PMU) for providing overall technical and managerial support during the implementation of the
Programme. The PMU will have a critical role in promoting and support the project.
1.2.1.2 Preparation of Revised CDP under CBUD Programme
In order to identify broader issues for intervention and areas of assistance pertaining to development
of city, City Development Plans (CDPs) which were already available for most of the cities under the
JnNURM is required to be revised as per the revised CDP Guidelines (April 2013) issued by Ministry
of Urban Development.
The MoUD has identified 30 cities across India under the CBUD project to facilitate the support. The
MoUD invited proposals and entrusted CRISIL Risk & Infrastructure Solutions with the responsibility of
preparing the City Development Plan.

the sustainable development of the city. The CDP is the ULB‟s strategy that presents the vision of a
desired future for the city, and the mission statements on how the ULB, together with other
stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving this long-term vision. The City Development Plan
incorporates the assessment of city on majorly four levels: Socio Cultural and Economic Environment;
Physical Environment; Infrastructure Services and Institutions; Urban Poverty and Heritage.
The primary objective of this assignment is – to revise and update the existing CDP.
The scope of work in brief shall entail –
Profiling the present status of the city, giving an in-depth analysis of its demographic,
economic, financial, infrastructure, physical, environmental and institutional aspects
Based on the above analysis, the consultant shall develop a perspective and a vision for the
city, which would be prepared in consultation with its relevant stakeholders. In order to
achieve the vision, a formulation strategy for bridging the gap between where the city is at
present and where it wishes to reach need to be prepared.
The CDP should provide for a City Investment Plan (CIP), based on which the concerned
ULB will be able to access funds under central/ state government schemes as well as from
own and other sources based on priority actions and projects identified in the CDP.
The document should also provide Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for
mobilizing various financial resources to implement the identified projects. The inter-sectoral
and intra-sectoral issues need to be addressed by the CDP.
Preparation of the CDP will consist of city development strategies that will emerge out of a
structured consultative process. The process will enable elected representatives, key staff
of departments of Municipal Corporation/ Municipal Council, parastatal agencies and other
institutions, policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial, social and
economic development of the concern cities.
The CDP has to adhere to the latest revised toolkit prepared by the MOUD for CDP
preparation published on its website www.jnnurm.nic.in in Dec 2009 or later.

The revised CDP has been prepared for the period of next 30 years, i.e. 2041. It is a forward-looking
consensus program for the city that outlines the path with respect to the following aspects:
Infrastructure Development – Assessment, gap analysis, arriving at investment requirement
(short term and long term) and prioritization of various services provided by Municipal Corporation
- water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage, roads, traffic & transportation, street-lighting, solid
waste management, firefighting, education, health, etc.
Slum Development – Preparation of programme for the development of slum pockets in the city.
This includes access to all the basic services as well as housing for urban poor.
Economic Development – The revised CDP focused critically on tapping the existing potential
and identifying key economic development opportunities for the city.
Social Development – The revised CDP has taken into account the social development needs of
the city such as the need for hospitals, education institutes, and recreational centers.
Institutional Development – Assessment of capacity-building required for ULBs to undertake
development of city.
Financial sustainability -The revised CDP has assessed the revenue sources, areas of
expenditure and current and future investment requirement of the city. Based on this, sustainable
investment capacity has been arrived and measures to improve revenues and control expenditures
have been suggested.
Reform Assessment Plan –The revised CDP also discussed status of various reforms
undertaken by the ULBs to bring about improvements. These reforms are in the areas of
accounting, e-Governance, property tax, user changes, building byelaws, etc. Moreover, the
approach is based on the philosophy of developing workable solutions. The methodology for
undertaking the work of preparation of revised CDP is presented in the figure below. Broadly five
steps in a sequential order have been undertaken in this work.

Figure 2.5 Geology map of Allahabad
Because of this topography of Allahabad, the city has grown across the rivers Yamuna and Ganga on
all the three sides, even though connectivity with the satellite towns is an issue. Though there are
settlements on the western flank of the city as well, the arterial network is weak as distance from the
core city increases. So the topography of the city has in a way hindered the growth of the city.
2.5.2 Climate
The climate of Allahabad is characterised by a long and hot summer, a fairly pleasant monsoon and
winters. The winter season usually extends from mid-November to February and is followed by
summer which continues till about the middle of June. The southwest monsoon then ushers in the
rainy season which lasts till the end of September. October and the first half of November constitute
the post-monsoon season.

Allahabad city constitutes 20% of the district‟s population and 80% of the district‟s urban population.
Increase in population has been mainly because of migration. Migration to Allahabad city has
historically been on account of employment opportunities and for education, and this would continue
to be the most important factor.

Population Growth
When we look at Allahabad Urban Agglomeration (UA), the population in 2001 was 10.18 lakhs and it
grew to 12.12 lakhs in 2011 at a growth rate of 19%. A comparison of population growth has been
showcased in the table below. The population growth within the city limits is relatively less. So this
reflects the higher population growth on the outskirts of the city. If we look at the population of
Allahabad city and Allahabad UA, we realise that population growth is much higher outside the city
limits. So while projecting population, we will have to consider higher population growth for this area.

In spite of the city‟s high literacy rate and urbanization, the sex ratio has remained much lower than
that of the state. One of the reason for the same could be higher male in migration for employment to
the city. However, the reasons for the lower sex ratio need to be explored. The figure below shows

Polynomial 2nd order.
It can be observed from the chart below that the projected population through all the methods is on
the lower side as compared to the Master Plan 2021 projections. According to the Master Plan 2021,
the growth in population for the 2011-21 decade has been assumed to be 20%. As mentioned above,
the base value in the Master Plan 2021 for 2011 was ~25% higher. So if the Census 2011 population
of 12.12 lakhs is increased by 20%, it translates into a population of 14.53 lakhs in 2021. Upon adding
the floating population (8% increase), the number works out to be 15.69 lakhs. Now if we compare
this population with the population projected by all the other methods, then it appears to be closest to
nd
the results of the Polynomial 2 Order Method. The projections by the Power, Log and Arithmetic
methods are lower than this. The projections by the Incremental and Geometric methods are higher.
The population projections made through various methods for the next three decades have been
presented in the chart and table below.

4.1 Background
Allahabad has traditionally been well known for its educational institutions, the University, High Court
and centres of pilgrimage, intellectual and sociopolitical activity. The city‟s economy however, has for
the past many years been thriving on the tertiary sector activities.
With various educational institutes and university the city had been known for its publishing houses
and iron cast products like cabinets. It was highlighted during stakeholder discussions that these local
skills of the city have disappeared over time due to other high return opportunities in the city like
tertiary sector as mentioned earlier.

other shops.
Oil and Ghee Mandi: The wholesale mandi for oil and ghee is situated in Meerganj providing all sorts
of vegetable cooking oils and ghee. All these are of wholesale nature.
Timber/ Furniture Mandi: The furniture mandi as it is called extends right along the Tilak Road to
Bharati Bhawan Road crossing and from there to Suleman Sari Road. This area is also referred to as
Bans Mandi, for nearly all timber is supplied from here.
Fruits and Vegetables Market: The main vegetable wholesale market is located in Khuldabad
outside the core area of Chowk. It enjoys a strategic location lying on the GT National Highway.
Report on Conditions of Work and Promotion of Livelihoods in the Unorganized Sector, 2007 of the
National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganized Sector (NCEUS), suggest that the vendors‟
earnings are very low although they vary from trade to trade and from location to location. The men‟s
average daily income is around Rs. 70 in most cities and women earn considerably less – Rs. 40 per
day.
Articles 39 (a) of the Constitution clearly mention that the State shall in particular direct its policy so
that - (a) the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood. To
improve the condition of urban street vendors, Government of India made numerous legislative
attempts starting from the regulation of hawker trade in Bombay Municipal Corporation in 1980 till The
Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014.
[52]

Of the major attempts made, The National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, 2009 was a
comprehensive attempt that promoted spatial, legal and participative means of improving the
conditions of the urban street vendors. According to this policy, a 'Street Vendor' is defined as 'a
person who offers goods or services for sale to the public in a street without having a permanent built-
up structure.' The policy was somewhat similar to its predecessor and got a feeble response from the
states, to overcome the shortcomings of this policy a draft bill entitled „Model Street Vendors
(Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill, 2009 was introduced but
Governments did not take sufficient legislative action. However, the Bill was critiqued to have ignored
many pressing issues. The foremost problem that it overlooked was the issue of natural markets
which sprang up in places where consumers found them useful. Further, it ignored the vending rights
of those who were already selling on the street, still the policy was somewhat able to recognize
certain issues related to the street vendors and has provided certain powers to ULBs to regulate,
monitor and promote street vendors in towns / cities.
The policy recognized and explicated the positive role of street vendors in providing essential
commodities to people at affordable prices and at convenient places. It also recognized the need for
regulation of street vending by way of designated „Restriction-free Vending‟, 'Restricted Vending' and
„No Vending‟ zones based on certain objective principles. Overall the Policy meant to foster a
congenial environment for the urban street vendors to carry out their vocation and at the same time
ensuring that it does not lead to overcrowding or unsanitary conditions at public spaces and streets.
16
In 2004, the National Urban Street Vendors Policy (NSVP) was announced. It was the first national level regulatory
framework on street vending which was left to the States to adopt and implement. In 2009, the NSVP was revised and a Model
Draft Bill on the subject was presented by the Central government. The States and Union Territories were to implement the
National Policy for Street Vendors of 2004, taking into account this Model Bill. However, it received a feeble response from the
States and soon demands were made for a mandatory central legislation on the subject. (National University of Juridical
Sciences, 2012)

In spite of the government‟s fervent concern regarding public sanitation and safety, a number of public events, bazaars,
religious festivals and other activities take place on our streets with the whole-hearted approval of government authorities.

carts, electricity, drinking water facility, protective covers to protect their wares as well as
themselves from heat, rain and dust and Storage facilities including cold storage.
III. Regulatory Process: The policy thrusts on having the system of registration of hawkers and non-
discretionary regulation of access to public spaces in accordance with the planning standards and
18
nature of trade/ service. The Town vending committee / Ward vending Committee has the
19
power to register the vendors . All vendors in each city should be registered at a nominal fee and
the registration should be renewed after every three years. The TVC should issue identity cards to
the vendors and it should charge a monthly fee for access to various services. For better system
of regulation, there should be direct linkage between the urban local bodies (ULBs) and hawkers
20
for collection of: registration fee, · monthly maintenance charges , fines, if any, etc. The Town
vending Committee / Ward Committee should monitor the hawking activity of a particular ward
and the quality of the services provided, take corrective action, if required, report to City level
21
Committee, if required and recommend revaluation / changes in specified norms for hawking.
18
The committee has no fixed tenure and there is no removal mechanism mentioned.
19
The National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, 2009. Under Provision 4.5.4 of this Policy, the Municipal Authority is under an
obligation to undertake a comprehensive census of the existing vendors in consultation with the Town Vending Committee for
the purpose of granting them lease to vend. Hence, we see that here the burden of registration is on the Municipality, which
significantly smoothens the exercise of registration and to a large extent simplifies the process for street vendors.
20
Every street vendor is under an obligation to pay periodic maintenance charges for the civic amenities and facilities provided
in the vending zone as may be determined by the local authority. Thus, these provisions impose a monetary burden on street
vendors.

Concentration of powers in the hands of the municipal authorities that do not have any representation of street vendors.

Overall, there was a shift from the primary sector to the tertiary and secondary sector during the
decade 1981 to 2001. However, the trend has reversed in the present decade because of merging of
new areas which are primarily engaged in agriculture. Except for the decade 1991 to 2001, there has
been very high negative growth in the secondary sector. The tertiary sector has emerged as a major
contributor to the economy in the last three decades. As indicated in the figure below, the growth rate
in total main workers was nominal during 2001. This indicates that the city was on the verge of getting
saturated. The increase in jurisdiction would be an advantage for the city as it would open new
opportunities for exploration.

Allahabad is the pilgrim town for India with important religious destination such as Sangam
Ghat‟s, Ashoka pillars and other historic places of importance.
Lack of infrastructure facilities like quality of existing roads and tourist infrastructure (rest
rooms, hotels, information center, etc.
As the city is an important religious destination for Hindus and is likely to continue to attract
more visitors in future there is an opportunity to develop it as a tourism base for the region.
Lack of tourist infrastructure is a severe deterrent for the role of the city to play as a tourist
destination which needs to be looked into for the economic growth of the city.

5.1 Background
Allahabad‟s reference is as old as the Hindu Puranas. In the „Padam Puran,‟ Prayad also known as
Allahabad has been referred to as the best among all pilgrimages, as Brahama, the creator god chose
this land to perform the „Prakrista Yog‟. Prayag is the birthplace of Som, Varuna and Prjapati. Prayag
has been associated with mythological personalities in Brahmanical (Vedic) and Buddhist Literatures.
It was the seat of the great sage Bhardwaj, sage Durvasa and sage Panas. Sage Bhardwaj lived here
circa 5000 BC and taught more than 10,000 disciples.
The earliest monument of antiques, the Ashok Pillar, has inscriptions of third century BC – the
inscriptions of his directions to his fellow rajas and praise of King Samudragupta. The Chinese
traveller Huan Tsang in 643 BC found Prayag to be inhabited by many Hindus who regarded the
place as holy.

Land use proposals for commercial, industrial, recreational, transportation, health and education is
lesser than the proposed land use as per the draft URDPFI guidelines. The observations on
comparing the two master plans are:
Land allocation for industrial purposes is less than the proposed land use in Master Plan
2001. Even though the land allocated for industrial use is less, only 40% of this allocated land
is being used. This supports the claim that the industrial base of Allahabad is weak and steps
need to be taken to promote industry by addressing infrastructure and policy issues.
The land allocation for public utilities such as water supply, sewerage and electricity services
has been reduced from 16.60 sq. km to 6.90 sq. km. As per the master plan, the area has
been reduced as earlier proposals for sewerage which required more land have been
dropped. So the land requirement for public utilities has reduced.
Only 3% of the land use for recreational purpose has been developed.
Land allocation for health and education is less than the proposed URDPFI guidelines.
Land use under recreation is higher because the Kumb Mela area has been merged into it.

6. Social Infrastructure
This chapter presents a detailed assessment of Allahabad‟s social and cultural environment, which
includes health services, education status, and role of various agencies involved in service
provisioning. The key findings of the analysis indicate the status of Allahabad city in terms of health,
education, and recreation service provision. The existing facility has been compared with Urban and
Regional Development Plan Formulation Implementation (URDPFI) guidelines to arrive at the gaps in
service provision.
6.1 Background
Allahabad is considered to be a hub for health facilities in the region. Due to the availability of better
facilities in Allahabad, the city healthcare facilities have a large catchment area. Also, the city is an
administrative headquarters, religious centre, and homes several educational institutions and the
state high court.

time with the state government.
A study was undertaken by UP fire services during the Kumbh mela and it came to the
forefront that the department would not have been in a position to provide sufficient service
had there been a disaster
The reaction time in the case of an emergency is high and may lead to loss of life and
property.
E-governance and automation are important. However, these have not been adopted.
Existing fire hydrants have failed to reach the spot in time due to encroachments and traffic

According to the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act of India, three levels of local bodies have been
established; one of their objectives is to provide supply of pure drinking water and proper sewerage
facilities to citizens. AMC is responsible for the provision of basic services such as water supply,
sewerage, SWM, SWD and roads within the AMC limits. DUDA is responsible for the provision of
housing in slum areas and UP Jal Nigam is responsible for the planning and construction of water
supply, sewerage and storm water drains. This section provides a snapshot of the pre-JnNURM
scenario and the key highlights of each sector based on the earlier CDP. It links progress made under
each sector with the existing situation.

Allahabad is bounded by rivers i.e., by Ganga and Yamuna on three sides, hence, ample water is
available to the city. The city is supplied with 308 MLD of water, of which the majority is lifted by tube
wells and the remaining from river Yamuna. Ground water is the main source of water, which supplies
77% of the total water supply. 23% of the water is supplied by River Yamuna. An intake raw water
pumping station is located on the banks of River Yamuna at Kerela Bagh, where pumps transport
water to the Khusroobagh water works through pumping mains along the Nurullah Road. The water
supply per capita is 253 lpcd, which is much higher than the required norms. The high water supply is
available due to the perennial source, i.e., River Yamuna.
In slums, there are in all 1,273 public taps, 2,383 hand pumps, and 207 tube wells. In some slums,
AMC supplies water through 22 water tankers. However, there are no direct water supply
connections.
The city has a total storage capacity of 22.5 MLD. This storage capacity is provided by three
underground storage tanks and 15 overhead tanks. The location of these reservoirs and OHTs is as
given below:

Water is treated and fed into the distribution network of 1,122 km length. The quality of water is
reported to be of acceptable standard and as per Jal Kal officials it does not require any special
treatment other than standard treatment, like filtration followed by chlorination in the case of surface
water and only chlorination in the case of ground water, to bring the water quality to the potable
standard.
Existing raw water transmission arranged from the intake tower comprises two 500 mm dia C.I. mains
originating from towers and connected at a distance of about 60 m from towers and converted into
two C.I. transmission mains of the following sizes.
[66]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
Jal Kal supplies water throughout the year with supply hours varying between 6 to 10 hours a day.
The following table gives a snapshot of the water distribution setup of Allahabad.
Currently, an operational water treatment plant is located in Khusroobagh and has a capacity of
treating 135 MLD of raw water. Presently, the plant is running at 50% capacity and it uses rapid
gravity filtration process for treatment.
7.1.1.3 Water distribution System Consumer connections and metering system and policy
There are over 1.51 lakh household, commercial and industrial connections in Allahabad; however,
only 1% of them are metered. This represents overall household-level coverage of 73%. The following

Though AMC has adopted a volumetric-based tariff structure, it has not been implemented yet. The
flat rate water supply bill is calculated based on ferrule size and different slabs of ARV for residential
and commercial property. Currently, water charge is calculated as 12.5% of ARV. This is based on a
notification issued in 1999 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Thereafter, user charges have been
increased by 5% at a regular interval of three years. Owing to such methods, water charges of old
properties have been reduced irrespective of water use.

Fall in water level of Yamuna during summers. This has adversely affected the intake of two
wells of the Kareli bagh raw water pumping station.
There are frequent power failures for prolonged periods, causing severe damage to the water
supply system as well as the operational schedule.
A number of components in the system have inadequate capacity. This includes raw water
pumping mains, clear water reservoirs in Khushroobagh, water works, zonal overhead tanks,
and pipelines at various places.
Such deficiency in system provisions leads to poor level of supply to consumers.
Accordingly, to improve the water supply system, the CDP envisaged an investment of Rs. 243
crores, covering the following aspects: renovation of the existing system, network expansion of
transmission mains, and construction of storage tanks and water treatment plant.

No details are available with the concerned departments (Jal Nigam and Jal Kal) with regard to the
size of the sewer lines, number and size of the manholes, length and diameter of pipes between the
manholes, condition of sewer pipes and their age, and the slope of the lines and their carrying
capacity. In areas where a sewerage system is not available, water flows through unlined, irregular
drains and ultimately joins the rivers Ganga and Yamuna at different locations. The households,
which have no access to a sewerage collection system, discharge their wastes directly into streets
drains and ultimately into the rivers through unlined nallas/ drains.
7.2.1.1 Sewage generation and collection system
Sewage generation depends on the water supplied and it is generally considered to amount to eighty
percent of the water supply. It is essential to look at the water supply situation within AMC to assess
[73]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
sewage generation. Since 308 MLD of water is supplied, it can be assumed that sewerage generated
is 260 MLD. However, Jal Nigam estimates sewerage generation to be 260 MLD.
Allahabad city has only 22% coverage by a sewerage network, with 44,300 households practicing
onsite sanitary disposal methods. Many households have septic tanks or kunddis. There is a lack of
sewage treatment facilities in the city and therefore most of the sewerage goes into open drains and
nallas.
In most of the households, the toilet flushes are not connected to soak pits and the water from septic
tanks goes directly into drains, which is very unhygienic. Most of the city drainage system is clogged
with polythene bags and is not cleaned regularly. The condition of the city drainage system is poor
and needs immediate repairs and regular upkeep/maintenance. Many large drains are being
encroached by dwelling units, milk diaries, shops, etc. and thus difficult to clean and maintain.
22
The system includes about 595 km of major sewers and branches of various sizes, shapes and
material. There are seven intermediate sewage pumping stations; one terminal pumping station is
located at Gaughat and the sewage farm areas are in Naini and Dandi. The sewer network system is
a combined sewer overflow system carrying both wastewater and storm water in most locations. Most

of the existing sewers are old brick sewers which have outlived their design life. The hydraulic
capacities are insufficient even for the present flows and moreover existing lines have heavy silt
depositions. The pumping stations are also of various configurations, some of which are very old and
need major renovation. The areas under each of the seven zones are shown in the table below.

The total sewerage treatment capacity is 254 MLD. As per the City Sanitation Plan, Allahabad, there
is an acute scarcity of wastewater treatment plants in the city; but the quality of treated waste water is
not good. The condition of the existing pumping stations too is not good.

various zones. The number of users per toilet seat is 150 as against the stipulated norm of one toilet

seat in 35 users .
Alarmingly, there is no proper arrangement for septage management in the city; only one septage
suction machine is available with AMC which is insufficient considering the number of households and
public toilets (27) connected to the septic tank.
A significant part of the city's residential population along with the floating population which assembles
during various religious occasions is provided with community toilets. Such toilets are located mainly
in the mohallas inhabited by the people of economically weaker sections, in bus stands, ghats and
other religious centers where large assemblies of floating population occur.
24 community toilet complexes – 22 with 10 seats each and remaining 2 with 24 seats each – have
been constructed under the Ganga Action Plan. These are situated mostly along the river banks near
ghats.

Key issues identified in 1 generation CDP
The bulk of the branch sewerage system is at any time either completely blocked or its
capacity is severely reduced by silt and solid waste. Sewer maintenance is restricted to
emergency clearing of blockages and is given low priority.
It has been observed that sections of trunk sewers are heavily silted. Reduced capacity from
silting results in sewage overflows from manholes to surface drains during peak flow periods.
Problems may also be caused by structural damage in some sections.
Poor record-keeping and inadequate information for planning: The limited availability of
records relating to pumping stations and the sewerage system makes planning for extending
services and assessing the amount of sewage presently flowing into the sewer system
difficult. This also prevents effective maintenance and corrective actions.
Accordingly, to improve the sewerage system, the CDP envisaged an investment of Rs. 377 crores
covering the following aspects: renovation of the existing system, network expansion, and
construction of treatment plants, branch sewers and community toilets.
[79]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041

The main focus of the Plan was on Interception & Diversion and treatment of sewage through 261
schemes spread over 25 Class I towns of U.P., Bihar and West Bengal. Nearly 34 Sewage Treatment
Plants (STPs) with a treatment capacity of 869 MLD have been set up under the Plan, which was
completed in March 2000 at a cost of Rs. 452 crores. The Schemes completed under GAP-I in the
district of Allahabad city are summarized below:
Renovation of Gaughat Main Sewage Pumping Station
Renovation of Intermediate Sewage Pumping Stations

managing the treatment plant and AMC is now making efforts to operationalize the treatment plant
and ensure scientific dumping of waste.
The slaughter house in Allahabad is situated at Atala is an open slaughter house and almost 100 year
old. At this place about 90 animals are slaughtered every day in the open and then the raw meat is
being transported to other places. The slaughtered animal‟s solid waste is thrown and dumped in the
open and the liquid waste is washed away and discharged in the kuccha Nallas around the
slaughtering area. This area is totally polluted with foul smell, filth and flies all around. The state of this
area is so pathetic that one cannot stand there. In the whole area no separate drainage for waste
generated in slaughter house and the condition of this place become worse during the rainy season.
There is no systematic arrangement of cleaning/maintenance. The waste is dumped in the open; AMC
is entitled with the management of this slaughter house. There is no detail record maintained and
available with AMC for quantity of waste generated from slaughter house
Under the Municipal Act, road/ street sweeping and drain cleaning are the obligatory responsibilities
of the AMC and the solid waste generated in the town shall be collected and removed by the sanitary
workers. Street sweeping in AMC area is carried out through 2200 sanitation workers.
The waste from drain silt and waste heaps from roadsides are collected and disposed-off at nearby
open dumps. These unorganized disposal methods have resulted in accumulation of solid waste on
roadsides and vacant plots and in low lying areas and storm water drains
24
The solid waste of slaughter houses can be broadly classified into two categories i.e., vegetable matter such as rumen,
stomach and intestine contents, dung, agriculture residues etc., and animal matter like inedible offal’s, tissues, meat
trimmings, waste and condemned meat, bones etc.,. Slaughter house waste contains mostly biodegradable matter
[82]

Primary collection
Door-to-door collection is not being carried. Waste is thrown outside the property from where
sweepers of AMC collect waste by means of rickshaw trolley and dump the same into the dustbins or
onto streets (open dump). In some of the cases, generators themselves dispose-off waste in nearby
waste collection points/ containers, onto the streets, or in the nearby drains.
The practice of throwing the wastes into the streets and drains is more prevalent in case of many
households in the city as well as within the community of small restaurants and eateries; this
unhygienic practice has resulted in clogging of drains. Excessive polythene has also emerged out to
be one of the reasons for frequent clogging of drains.
Secondary collection
The waste collected from each of the primary collection
points mentioned above is transported to designated open
dump areas and DP containers (mostly on the main roads),
which are the secondary collection points. There are nearly
50 such points and about 160 bins spread over all 80 wards
of the city. The waste collection from the secondary
collection points starts by Dumpers and Tractor trolleys from
8 A.M and goes on till 5 PM in the evening.
There are 800 CP bins and 90 DP bins across the city.
However, the secondary collection points are not maintained
property. Many a times, the bins are overflowing with waste
or waste is littered around the bin.
Transportation
Waste is being transported by AMC from selection collection points to a treatment site located at a
distance of 19 Km from the city. The vehicles available for transporting waste are as follows –
1 Tippers 10
2 Dumper placer 4
3 Compactor 12
Total 26
Source - AMC
The waste transportation vehicles are operated, supervised and maintained at workshop located in
front of railway station (south side). The workshop is supervised by workshop in charge. At present
this responsibility is given to Junior Engineer. The transportation vehicles make two to three trips per
day to transport the waste to the treatment site. It takes about 1.5 to 2.0 hours to make a trip
depending on the traffic conditions. The waste is transported in open vehicles and this creates
unhygienic conditions in the city.

The storm water flows with the sewage through sewerage network and is pumped to rivers Ganga
and Yamuna. This causes extra burden over the sewage pumps during rains and extra expenses due
to consumption of electricity. This causes a substantial quantity of silt and debris into the sewer
system which is detrimental to its life and proper function. In addition, it leads to flooding and hydraulic
overloads at treatment plants. The nala-tapping arrangements are essential for intercepting
wastewater during dry weather and reducing pollution loads, however the present tapping
arrangements are inadequate. Such nala tapping arrangements are considered as interim measures
only and should be phased out gradually with the improvement in sewerage coverage into all urban
areas. Furthermore each tapping point should have a means of automatically regulating the inflow
during wet weather.

Network Primary: six major drains passing through the municipal area, viz. –
Ghaghar, Chachar, Morigate, Allenganj, Rajapur, and Mumfordganj
Only 20% of the roads and gullies in residential localities have proper
drains.
The silt in these nallas is usually cleaned once every year while the
normal prescribed practice is to clean them twice.
Treatment plant Large quantities of storm water cause flooding and hydraulic overloads
on the treatment plant.
Due to the combined system of sewerage and storm water drainage, a
substantial quantity of silt and debris is drained into the sewer system
Institutional City has been divided into the six storm water planning zones and each
arrangement zone is identified by the pumping station or the channel dealing with its
discharge.

In monsoons the sewerage system also acts as storm water drainage, thus substantial quantity of
silt and debris is drained into the sewer system, which is detrimental to its life and efficiency.

from these depots. Apart from owned buses UPSRTC also operates 121 hired buses.
The state bus terminals are located in the city‟s high density residential areas. Due to lack of
inadequate parking spaces at Civil Lines bus terminal, Zero Road Bus Terminal and Leader Road bus
terminal (Railway station), a large number of visiting vehicles get parked on the roads leading to
congestion. Also there is no provision for parking of private buses. Also, Civil Lines, Leader Road,
Rambagh Railway station and Kutchery have no areas for private bus parking.
As per CMP, alternative sites for bus depots were suggested in the Detailed Project Report by UMTC
for City Bus Services in Allahabad, but none of them have been sanctioned as of now. As per
UPSRTC Regional Workshop, which also caters as the Bus Depot, there are dead kilometers under
every route which may be avoided if a dedicated depot location is suggested
The following table gives a brief of bus depots and no. of buses:
Under JnNURM SPV was formed by AMC, UPSRTC and ADA with Municipal Commissioner, AMC as
its commissioner. This SPV had the responsibility to operate city buses in Allahabad. In the CMP it
was realized that the city needs 500 city buses to cater the needs of intra city public transport. But as
discussed during stakeholder consultation, it was mentioned that the city has only 130 city buses that
are still being operated from the UPSRTC bus depots and no separate land has been allocated for
operating city buses. Also there are no shelters developed for city buses.
Allahabad has three bus stands catering to different routes. The buses from western destinations like
Delhi, Agra, Lucknow and Kanpur halt at Leader Road Bus Stand. The Zero Road Bus Stand serves
the buses going on the southern route i.e. Mahoba and Satna. Buses from Varanasi and other
eastern towns arrive at M.G. Road Bus stand. The following table shows the local bus routes of

In case of old city area there are no parking provisions. The vehicles are parked on the carriageway
resulting in traffic jams and congestion. There is no proper demarcated cycle rickshaw stand, which
occupies a significant share in the public transport.
In Katra, the situation is more complicated because of narrow streets. The vehicles are parked on the
streets resulting in frequent traffic jams. Encroachment on the ROW and absence of footpath forces
the pedestrians to walk on the carriageway resulting in conflict between pedestrians and vehicular
traffic. The shifting of the Katra Sabzi Mandi has reduced this problem in small stretch of the market.

like water supply, sewerage, drains, roads, and streetlights in housing projects and hands these over
to AMC and Jal Kal.
Jal Nigam is responsible for providing water supply, sewerage network, drains, etc., in slum areas,
which on completion are handed over to Jal Kal. AMC is responsible for providing roads and
streetlights in slums. Jal Kal maintains the water supply and drains developed by DUDA and Jal
Nigam. Currently, DUDA is in the process of undertaking a household-level survey. Once the survey
is complete, a database will be created. Specific service standards like water supply connections and
sewerage connections, pertaining to the urban poor, are not available with DUDA.
Based on primary interactions with self-help groups, the urban infrastructure does not appear to be
satisfactory enough to bring homogenous development in new areas. The growth of housing stock
has not been commensurate with the population growth, resulting in an increase in the housing stock
deficit ultimately leading to the origination and growth of slum dwellings.
Housing projects
At the state level, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has launched several schemes for providing basic
services to the urban poor, which include security of tenure and improved housing at affordable
prices. Schemes that are being implemented are Sarv Jan Hitay Gareeb Avas (Slum Area) Malikana
Haq Yojna, Manywar (MKDBBSVY), and Shri Kanshi Ram Ji Shahri Avas Yojna. The District Urban
Development Authority (DUDA) is responsible for the implementation of such schemes. After
implementing these schemes, DUDA hands over the responsibility of providing services to AMC and
Jal Kal. Under the Shri Kanshi Ram Ji Shahri Avas Yojna scheme, 1,500 houses have been
constructed and allotted to beneficiaries by DUDA. Another 511 dwelling units are under construction.

Sewerage/Sanitation
Focused group discussions revealed that most of the slums do not have sewerage connections. Many
of the households‟ dispose-off waste directly into river/pond/nallah and majority of them do not have
individual toilets.
RAY aims at Slum Free India by Improving and provisioning of housing, basic civic infrastructure and
social amenities in intervened slums and enables policy intervention to facilitate the supply of
affordable housing and developed plot so as to arrest the formation of new slums.
DUDA, AMC is in process of preparing Slum Free City report under RAY. Once the report is finalized
and approved. DUDA will take up projects under RAY. DUDA will take up a pilot project for slum on a
Defense Land.
Under this program, 1558 flats were planned to be constructed, however only 1140 flats were
constructed and construction on the remaining 417 is yet to begin. Of the DU‟s which have been
constructed, only 929 have been occupied and the remaining are lying vacant.
The program was launched in 2008 to construct houses for urban poor. Projects were planned in two
phases. In the first phase 1500 flats were constructed and allocated with preference to destitute
widows, disabled and people below poverty line in the same sequence. In the second phase 511
dwelling units are being constructed.
9.2.4 Critical Analysis of housing and urban poverty under 1st Generation
CDP Scenario
st
As per 1 generation CDP, there were 185 slums and 3.3 lakh people living in slums in Allahabad. 43
slums were located along the railway lines and in the CB areas where basic services were both very
poor. Only about 25% to 30% slum people (authorized slums + unauthorized slums) had individual
water supply connections and rest 70% to 75% people were dependent either on the public stand
post and hand pumps or did not have accessibility to the potable water/ municipal water.
There were 111 community toilets across the city, but their number was inadequate which led to open
defecation. The responsibility of construction of these CTCs was with the AMC and DUDA. As per the
[108]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
CDP majority of slums had very poor sanitation facilities; most were either without sewer or with
partially sewer, with disposal of household waste water and solid wastes directly being dumped into
open nallas, which adversely affected drainage in these areas, leading to water logging. The poor
environmental conditions within the slum areas had adversely affected the health of the residents.
The average household size in slums in Allahabad was about 6 versus 4.5 for the city as a whole.
Only 3% houses were pucca (20% semi pucca and 77% kutcha) in unauthorized slums whereas this
is 70% in authorized slums. There were about 40% pucca houses in urban villages.
Four slum improvement schemes were launched Slum Improvement Scheme, Swaran Jayanti Shahri
Rozgar Yojana, National Slum Development Program and Valmiki Awas Yojna. However, only 70
houses were built under these schemes and major component of the funds were spent on constriction
of drains. No money was spent on improving water supply and sanitation facilities.
As per the first generation CDP, there were 185 slums with 3.3 lakhs people living in them. Only
20-25% of the people living in slums have access to individual water supply connections. There
were 111 community toilets with most of them connected to sewer line and only 3% of the houses
were pucca.

Being a tourist city and economic centre of the region, there are many autos and taxis plying
in the city. So introduction of CNG would reduce the carbon emissions or introduction of
battery operated vehicles.
Internalize climate change and disaster management in the strategies and processes of
resource and asset management and their maintenance, and in general development
planning in order that these may become sustainable, equitable and inclusive.
Conservation and protection of resources like air, land, water, forests, energy and
biodiversity, combined with a planned shift to a low or no-carbon economy; maximize uses of
renewables for energy production and improving of energy efficiencies at all levels -
generation, transmission, distribution and end uses
At the State level, a highly empowered Climate Change Policy and Response Group needs
to be set up in the Dept. of Planning, with the involvement of the State Department of
Environment and other concerned government departments, institutions and agencies,
specialists and the State Relief Commissioner's set-up, to identify strategies, resources and

measures required to be taken at the State/ regional/ local levels to meet the challenges of
likely climate changes and the hazards of disasters and their consequential effects. Within the
Directorate of Environment (UP), a Climate Change Action Strategy and Disaster Mitigation
Cell needs to be set up to assist in and co-ordinate policy, programme and action measures
in this context. A State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC) needs to be evolved to
address UP's specific problems that are likely to arise
Capacity building for meeting new challenges of climate change and disasters which would,

Allahabad fort The massive fort built by emperor Akbar in 1583 A.D., the
fort stands on the banks of the Yamuna near the
confluence site. In its prime, the fort was unrivalled for its
design, construction and craftsmanship. This huge,
majestic fort has three magnificent galleries flanked by
high towers. At present is used by the army and only a
limited area is open to visitors. The magnificent outer wall
is intact and rises above the water' edge. Visitors are
allowed to see the Ashoka Pillar and Saraswati Kup, a
well, said to be the source of the Saraswati river and
Jodhabai Palace. The Patalpuri temple is also here. So is
the much revered Akshaya Vat or immortal Banyan tree.

has got the same religious value and attracts millions of people. It has the same main bathing
days as in Kumbh Mela;
Kumbha Mela: the mela is held every three years, rotating through the four cities of Prayag,
Nasik, Haridwar and Ujjain;
Magh Mela: the annual mini Kumbh is held every year except the years of Kumbh Mela and Ardh

The UP Avas Vikas Parishad (AVP) is the nodal agency for housing in the state. It was established in
April 1966 to work towards housing solutions. Besides housing projects it has diversified its activities
to planning, designing, construction and development of almost all types of urban development
projects throughout the state. In addition, AVP plans and executes projects for the development of
health and education. It is also handling new district headquarters projects with the execution of large
number of schemes. AVP has constructed multi storied office buildings and commercial towers for its
own and public use. Providing public facilities is also a priority function of AVP. It develops market
areas and convenient shopping. AVP also indulges into housing for the shelter-less.
AVP is a professionally managed organization with specialists working in different fields viz –
Architecture, Town Planning, Construction Technology, Infrastructure Design, Execution and
Maintenance, Estate and Financial Management etc. The AVP has an Engineering, and Architecture
& Planning wing.
The State PWD is primarily responsible for construction and maintenance of roads, state government
institutions and state government housing in the city. The CPWD is responsible for the construction
and maintenance of only central government buildings and institutions.
PWD operates under the State PWD Minister and State-level Secretary and Principle Secretary. At

The absence of criteria for classification of roads to be maintained by the AMC and the PWD is not an
enabling framework for efficient functioning by either agency. As a corollary to the above, neither
agency (AMC/ PWD) is able to plan its work in advance leading to a reactive mode of functioning.
The functions of the AVP, the ADA and the AMC are similar. All the three agencies are involved in
planning and development of land for residential and commercial purposes. The linkages of these
agencies with the TCPD are also indicative of overlaps.

The main component of Revenue Receipt is state finance commission grant and property tax.
Together these two components constitute 73% of the Revenue Receipts. The increase in Revenue
Receipts is primarily on account of state finance commission and property tax. There was a healthy
increase in state finance commission grants from Rs. 41 Cr. in 2008-09 to Rs. 58 Cr. in 2011-12 and
property tax increased from Rs. 10 Cr. in 2008-09 to Rs. 14 Cr. in 2011-12.
Over the years, the revenue contribution, in percentage terms, has remained largely the same. The
contribution of assigned revenues, grants and contribution has been remained about 78% and tax and
non-receipts has remained close to 22%.
During the period under review, the tax income grew at a CAGR of 12%. The main components of tax
income are property tax, publication and pilgrim tax. Tax income contributes to 6% of the total income.
The tax receipt increased from Rs. 10 Cr. in 2008-09 to Rs. 15 Cr. in 2011-12, indicating a CAGR
growth of 12%. The table below shows the breakup of tax income during the period under review. The
maximum increase in absolute terms and percentage terms was observed in property tax. A
substantial increase was seen between 2011-12 and 2011-12, on account of increase in number of
properties under tax net.

The meeting was chaired by the Honourable Mayor and attended by the Municipal

Mr. R K Dwivedi, HR Officer briefed the officials about the agenda of the meeting and all the
members present introduced themselves.
The CRIS team initiated the meeting by giving a brief about the CBUD programme and the
need to revise the CDP. Thereafter, the CDP preparation process was detailed to the officials
present, including key CDP highlights, guidelines, and our approach and methodology for the
revision of CDP.
During the discussion, CRISIL team requested the officials to share their experiences during
the preparation of the old CDP. In addition, CRIS also asked the officials present if they could
st
comment why some other projects in the 1 generation CDP were not taken up and their
current status.
The senior officials have changed over the last five years, so the officials present were not
aware of the details of the CDP preparation process followed earlier. However, on the
projects identified in the CDP, they mentioned that some of the projects were not a priority at
that time. But these projects may be considered in the revised CDP.
Stakeholder workshop is the central idea around which the preparation of CDP revolves. The
CRIS team requested the officials present to ensure stakeholder participation by identifying
stakeholders to be present in the workshops to share their views.
The Secretary, ADA was of the view that stakeholder interactions should be initiated an on-
going process and not just during the workshops.
The Honourable Mayor was also of the view that importance should be given to the
stakeholder workshops and suggestions provided by the stakeholders should be taken into
[166]

Thereafter, the CRIS team requested the Honourable Mayor and Municipal Commissioner to
appoint a nodal officer for coordinating in all aspects of CDP, form CDP policy and technical
committees, and identify stakeholders to participate in the stakeholder meetings/workshops.
To this it was agreed, that CRIS will share a tentative list of committee members and share
with ANN. Thereafter, ANN will finalize the members of the committees and appoint a nodal
officer.
It was also decided that list of stakeholders for the workshops will be prepared in the due

Responding to the keenness of the stakeholders in knowing about various mission programmes, the
CRIS team presented, an overview of various mission programmes viz., Smart Cities, Urban
Development Mission and Swacch Bharat Mission and mentioned that while under each of the
programme the relative aspects would be dealt in more detail, however the initiative and projects
identified in the CDP for addressing present and future needs of Allahabad would serve as a means
of co-ordinated planning. The team further provided details to the stakeholders on the key emerging
challenges, opportunities and strength of the city and invited suggestions to the various aspects
identified in the CDP. The total investment identified and sector wise details were discussed with the
stakeholders. The consultants also highlighted the role of each agency for undertaking a coordinated
development.
The stakeholders were appreciative of the fact that Allahabad city has been selected by
MoUD for developing as a Smart City and suggested that all other programmes should be
implemented in a coordinated manner and with holistic planning approach.
The stakeholders also felt that as part of Smart City development initiative localized
innovative workable approach should be adopted which are doable and manageable in
context of Allahabad city.
The development in Allahabad, at present is beyond the Municipal Jurisdiction, the
stakeholders enquired whether the projects and planning covers the area beyond their
jurisdiction. The also expressed the need to connect the growth happening across the river
[173]

through construction of flyovers and managing planned growth in the outgrowth areas. The
consultants confirmed that the CDP has taken into consideration the Allahabad Master Plan
which covers AMC and outgrowth areas and also affirmed that the CMP of Allahabad has
identified such projects and have been included in the CDP.
th
The stakeholders expressed strongly that all the functions as envisaged under 74 CAA, for
city governance and management should be transferred to the Urban Local Body for
planning, implementation and operations. Unless, this are transferred, the ULB remains as a
fund transferring agency and does not has any role in planning for its citizens. They
suggested that the new mission should condition the development by giving powers to ULB to
undertake and implement this projects.
The stakeholders also made important emphasis on development of slum areas inclusive of
livelihood and social and other infrastructure facilities. There is a key challenge they face in-
situ development due to limited land availability. The consultants provided examples and
innovative practices of other cities where such issues has been handled and suggested ULB
to undertake a visit of such good practices.
The stakeholders felt that although Allahabad has taken about Rs 734 crores of projects
under the previous mission, however, suggested that the incomplete works especially
sewerage system in the city should be taken up at priority. This would specially need
providing sewerage connections to household, all other trunk infrastructure and treatment
facilities are already in place.
In a follow up meeting up the Municipal Commissioner and ULB officials, it was discussed that
waste management in the city also needs significant improvement. Where majority of the
cities are facing challenges in collecting segregated waste, it was discussed and suggested
that the corporation can explore separate collection mechanism for bio-degradable waste
from hotels, markets (fruits, flower markets, mandi‟s etc.) which if collected separately can be
put to use directly for vermin-composting. Significant awareness campaigning is also needed
to bring awareness about waste segregation and such initiative can be started from schools,
colleges and in localities. It was also discussed creating scientific landfill site to avoid pollution
and move towards zero emission envisaged under Swacch Bharat Mission.
The Municipal Commissioner and Mayor also emphasized on enhancing the capacity of ULB
to manage all aspects of municipal service delivery in a better way and handle challenges of
city management going forward.
It was also discussed that drawing of water through tubewells is affecting the ground level and
increased maintenance cost, where a perennial source of water is already available in the
form river Ganga in the city. The city should hence, plan moving away from tubewells to
drawing water from river itself, which will also bring significant cost saving in operations.
Various measures for controlling NRW and bulk metering were discussed to bring more
efficiency in water supply management.
It was suggested that although the CMP has not identified rapid transport system for the city,
however, it is important that with the growing densities and population, the city would in future
require express connectivity and strong public transport system. It was also discussed to
explore existing railway network passing through the heart of the city as means of local
transport. This would need permissions from railway authorities and also would require doing
a financial feasibility.
The stakeholders and officials are determinant to take development of Allahabad in a rapid
manner and making it a smart city.
The meeting concluded with vote of thanks to all stakeholders.

The project identification has been carried out through a demand-gap analysis and the stakeholder
consultation. Further, project prioritisation and strategizing of the investments/phasing of investment
are based on the strategies listed out under each service sector as identified through stakeholder
consultations. The projects derived are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilisation of
existing infrastructure systems and enhancing the capacity of the systems/services to cater to the
demands of future population additions. Certain projects have been identified in consultation with the
stakeholders.

The CIP and forecasted future needs for provision of capital facilities under each identified sector are
presented below. These assets will help to universalise services for the current population as well as
accommodate the expected increase in population.
In sectors where long-term planning is required (for example, source development for water supply,
sewerage, etc.), a 25-year planning horizon is considered. Assets created in such sectors consider
the projected population in this horizon. These infrastructure assets would not only guarantee
services to the citizens but also signal a proactive commitment to potential investors considering the
region.
In order to estimate the investment priorities in this sector, the gap analysis has been carried out to
analyse the current deficit in the system and future requirement for the design year 2041. The sector
plan for water supply improvement in the city has been presented in the table below.

Distribution network
The distribution network is the most critical component in the water
supply system for Allahabad city
To achieve the desired service level of 100% road coverage, 708 km
of new distribution network is required.
As the distribution network is very old, a substantial part of the
network needs to be replaced. Based on discussions with officials,
the length of distribution network to be replaced has been assumed
that 50% of the existing distribution network needs to be replaced.
However, the exact length of the distribution network to be replaced
may be less.
Treatment capacity
The treatment capacity needs to be increased by 149 MLD to treat
100% water supplied.
Water quality
To monitor the quality of water, water quality assessment units have
been proposed
Training
Institutional level training needs of Jal Kal need to be assessed.
Accordingly cost provision has been made.

AMC is treating most of the sewage generated in the city, however the quality of treated water is not
up to the mark. At present, an additional 82 MLD treatment plant and 972 Km of sewerage network is
proposed to be implemented under various government schemes. This will lead to augmentation of
treatment capacity to 336 MLD and sewerage network across the city to 1924 Km. To meet the future
demand for treating the waste water, these STPs will be sufficient till 2041, however some of the
STPs will require refurbishment.
Likewise, the coverage of the existing sewage collection network is low and augmenting the UGD
network to provide 100% coverage was also envisages in the master plan. However, the ongoing and
proposed projects will be sufficient to meet the gap and achieve 100% coverage.

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation took several initiatives. In the first instance, three sewerage
treatment plants using the latest technology were commissioned in 2011-12. This was later expanded
through use of JnNURM funds. The whole system was revamped to move towards a 100% UGD system for
sewage collection and adopting advanced technologies for sewage treatment. The quality of the treated
water from the sewage treatment plants is better than the norms prescribed by the Maharashtra Pollution
Control Board. The increased spending on waste water treatment has gone hand in hand with aggressive
campaign on the part of the corporation to spread awareness about the importance of sanitation. The NMMC
has built several low maintenance toilets. The cleaning, operation and maintenance of the public toilet blocks
has been outsourced to NGOs. 75% of toilets are connected to UGD network and it is a city free of open
defecation. The city won the Best City Award for Improvement in waste water and sanitation services from
GoI in 2009-10.

The spread sheets of the FOP are presented in the Annexure. The following are the results drawn
with respect to investment capacity of AMC. Various possible scenarios for AMC towards sustainable
investment for short-term investment have been generated. Also two predetermined cases built, which
are Base case and improved case are explained as below:
Base investment capacity – This scenario is built on the past trends as the case is.
Improved investment capacity – This scenario is built on the presumption that AMC is going
to undertake reforms leading to its improved financial sustenance capacity. The reforms are
especially in the areas of property tax and water charges.
Further, within the above mentioned both cases, various options have been looked at, like AMC‟s
contribution without any grant support or debt; and AMC‟s contribution along with various government
grants. These scenarios have been tried and tested for both the discussed cases and based on the
FOP projected and various financial assumptions, the Property Tax

In this scenario, without any grant support from its own sources AMC can contribute Rs. 306
crores for the implementation of projects. The regular growth rate in property tax assessment
and property tax collection reforms achieved by AMC under JnNURM phase I will improve the
financial status of AMC.
The sustainable investment capacity is 7% in this scenario for AMC.
The income and expenditure growth would follow past trends. The regular capital expenditure
would grow at 8% on a year-on-year basis. AMC will have a financial commitment towards the
implementation of projects under JnNURM Phase I and new projects taken up recently under
the extended phase of JnNURM. Also, looking at the sustainable investment capacity in this
scenario, it was assumed that the minimum closing balance of Rs. 10 crore on a regular basis
is maintained.
Business-as-usual scenario with grant support: In this scenario, it is assumed that AMC shall do
business as usual and receive capital grants from the state and Central governments. This scenario
will indicate the overall capacity of AMC to take up projects in a business-as-usual scenario with grant
support.

sustainable investment capacity in this scenario, it was assumed that the minimum closing
balance of Rs. 30 Cr. on a regular basis is maintained.
It is also very important that AMC should take into consideration the increasing operation and
maintenance expenditure. AMC has implemented a sewerage and SWD project and will be
implementing projects of STPs, collection network and underground drainage in next few years.
These investments will result in higher operation and maintenance expenditure.
In order to manage the increased O&M expenditure, implementation of reforms as mentioned below is
recommended, which will help AMC to meet 100% O&M cost recovery;

Outsourcing of certain functions: AMC should explore outsourcing of some functions in order
to reduce the establishment expenditure.
Moreover, AMC can outsource the clerical posts such as those of data entry operators and
clerks to reduce the establishment cost.
Reduction in capital expenditure
AMC is implementing projects through their municipal funds on a regular basis and also has a
financial commitment of 30% towards projects being implemented under JnNURM.
AMC has explored the PPP option for implementation of SWM project in the past. It is
recommended that the PPP option should be explored further for projects in the social sector
and other sectors.
AMC should focus on department wise budget preparation for O&M cost for newly created
assets, and provide the best practice to reduce the O&M cost on sewerage and solid waste
management
Carry out water and energy audit to reduce the O&M cost and water leakages (NRW)

all projects. Financial transactions such as deposits, grants and release of payments should
be carried out through the project account.
Carry out all the above-mentioned functions through e-governance modules developed by
AMC.
Transfer a part of the revenue surplus (own source of revenues) to the project account to
implement the project. A record of such transactions should be maintained.
Internal audit of the project accounts should be carried out on a quarterly basis. External audit
has to be carried out on an annual basis.

interventions
AMC should initiate an inventory of land parcels available in the city. Further, AMC should
create a database of the same and a land bank
AMC should crosscheck the proposed land use as per the development plan. If required,
AMC needs to initiate land use revision in the records
AMC may explore available land parcels that can be used for development of affordable
housing projects, parking projects, real estate projects and convention centers. Even these
projects can be implemented on PPP basis
New tax and revision of base for existing taxes: AMC should explore or propose the levy
of a new tax, which will be as per the applicable act. Also, regular revision of the tax base of
existing taxes and rates for rent should be exercised.
Property tax: On an immediate basis, the reforms to be implemented in property tax to
improve the coverage and collection efficiency; the reforms must start with restructuring of the
department.
[232]
City Development Plan Allahabad – 2041
Ministry of Urban Development
Water and sewerage: Water and sewerage tariff structures must be revised immediately.
AMC should explore the volumetric tariff structure for metered water connections
SWM charges: AMC should levy user charges on SWM services – AMC may explore this
initiative as part of property tax.
Establishment expenditure: The outsourcing option should be explored in the establishment
department as well as in the operation and maintenance of assets. If possible, reduction of
staff and optimum resource utilisation through the use of sophisticated technology should be
explored
PPP route: AMC should explore the PPP route to implement either the projects or project
components.
O&M new assets: AMC should ensure that the contractor/private operator appointed will
carry out O&M of the assets (WTP and STP plant) for a period of 5-8 years after completion
of the test runs.
Regular capital works: AMC should curtail its regular capital expenditure over the next 5-10
years. AMC should take up only priority works first and also projects possible on PPP basis.
Capacity-building: It is very important that AMC should keep on imparting training to the
staff on various aspects, from technical to managerial skills.
Study tours: AMC should organise study tours to know the best practices carried out for
some of the core services and also to understand the challenges faced by other cities in the
implementation of projects and reforms

The meeting was chaired by the Honourable Mayor and attended by the Municipal
Commissioner, department heads, and representatives of various parastatals.
Mr. R K Dwivedi, HR Officer briefed the officials about the agenda of the meeting and all the
members present introduced themselves.
The CRIS team initiated the meeting by giving a brief about the CBUD programme and the
need to revise the CDP. Thereafter, the CDP preparation process was detailed to the officials
present, including key CDP highlights, guidelines, and our approach and methodology for the
revision of CDP.
During the discussion, CRISIL team requested the officials to share their experiences during
the preparation of the old CDP. In addition, CRIS also asked the officials present if they could
st
comment why some other projects in the 1 generation CDP were not taken up and their
current status.
The senior officials have changed over the last five years, so the officials present were not
aware of the details of the CDP preparation process followed earlier. However, on the
projects identified in the CDP, they mentioned that some of the projects were not a priority at
that time. But these projects may be considered in the revised CDP.
Stakeholder workshop is the central idea around which the preparation of CDP revolves. The
CRIS team requested the officials present to ensure stakeholder participation by identifying
stakeholders to be present in the workshops to share their views.
The Secretary, ADA was of the view that stakeholder interactions should be initiated an on-
going process and not just during the workshops.
The Honourable Mayor was also of the view that importance should be given to the
stakeholder workshops and suggestions provided by the stakeholders should be taken into
