re-housing PAPs currently encroaching public land

needed for vital public project

Land owner to receive 1:1 TDR in lieu of the land

Land owner/Developer to receive incremental TDR

against construction of rehabilitation tenements at the

ratio of 1:1.33
Legal Framework Governing SRA Scheme

The Maharashtra Slum Areas Act 1971: for notifying the slums and for
fixing the eligibility criteria of slum dweller

LA Act 1894: for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes.

Rights (TDR)

The Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act 1960: provides for

establishing, registering and administering the cooperative societies
Step Involved in Slum Rehabilitation
Identification of vital public projects
Preparation of BSES Reports and Cadastral Maps
Identification of lands suitable for transit and permanent rehabilitation,
preparation of plans and approval to the schemes by the competent
authority
Preparation of eligible slum dwellers/PAPs list
Certification of the PAPs list by the Collector
Public consultations, issuance of identity cards and allotment letters
Construction of Transit tenements
Shifting of PAPs into transit tenements and clearing the corridors.

necessary infrastructure

The transit tenements are of approximately 120 sq.ft carpet area

each with common toilet facilities

Pedestrian pathways along with other basic amenities such as

water, electricity and ration shops have been provided
Resettlement and Rehabilitation Process
Based on recommendations of a Task Force assigned to frame a policy
regarding Resettlement & Rehabilitation the policy has been formulated.

Baseline Surveys, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan,

Rehabilitation Implementation Plans (RIPs) and Community
Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) have been prepared with the
help of NGOs.

Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) prepared covering;

Number of families affected by the project
Policy framework and entitlements
Land acquisition details
Identification of resettlement sites and purchase of built houses
Plans for transit and permanent housing
Economic rehabilitation measures
Monitoring, evaluation procedures, grievance & redressal
mechanisms
Time-table including the preparation of detailed implementation
plans
NGOs and Community Involvement

The project is being implemented with the assistance

of the NGOs like SPARC and SRS

The process of community participation began from

the stage of conducting BSES and RIP preparation
and the post rehabilitation support and services for
each of the project component

Reputed NGOs and Community Based Organisations

working in the project areas engaged to carry out the
BSES through the active participation of the
community
NGOs and Community Involvement
NGOs involvement helped to:

Identify the community preferences in new relocation site

Shelter design

Formation of Co. Op. Housing Societies of the PAHs

Formation of Mahila Milan Committees

Training the groups in maintenance and management of community

needs

Preparing the community to adapt to new lifestyle in multi-storied building

Maintenance of the local environment and services

Training and assisting the communities in establishing community based

savings and loan during the post resettlement phase

Promote community savings, income earning activities and improved

quality of life
Public Information Centres (PIC)
PICs have been established in the office of MMRDA
and the project sites to provide:
Information pertaining to the project
Eligibility & entitlements
Project components and implementation
schedules
Public consultation and transparency process

NGOs associated with the project to provide

volunteers to manage the PIC at the project site
Grievance Redressal Mechanism
Two separate Committees have been appointed by MMRDA for
redressal of grievances of the Slum dwellers/ PAHs

Field Level Grievance Committee, comprising officials of the PMU,

representatives of the NGOs and Project Implementing Agencies
(PIAs), to hear the grievances of the PAHs at the first instance

High Level Grievance Redressal Committee, comprising the

officials of the MMRDA and the representatives of the NGOs, to
hear and decide appeals of the aggrieved Slum dwellers/ PAHs

A high level Independent Monitoring Panel has been constituted to

supervise the overall implementation process
Post Resettlement Activities

Formation of Co. Op. Housing Soc. including their

PAH members and transfer of legal tenure of the land
in the names of the societies

Payment of all kind of monetary compensations &

transfer of maintenance charges

Providing community facilities, to the left over

population that are lost in the process of resettlement
Management Inofrmation System (MIS)

In order to monitor the rehab process, MIS has been

established by MMRDA

The MIS is prepared based on the inputs from the field

level operations to generate quarterly progress reports
Innovation in Implementation
The mammoth task of rehabilitation and resettlement is
being implemented with the following fast and quick
actions:
Establishment of SRA cell in MMRDA
Motivating the developers to offer tenements under SRA
scheme
Invitation of proposals through public notification for
construction of tenements under SRA
Timely approvals after statutory scrutiny to the
proposals of the developers and grant of TDR benefits
Innovation in Implementation contd.
Supervision to ensure design standard, quality
construction through PMCs ensuring development of
off-site infrastructure utilizing engineering capabilities
of MMRDA

Involvement of NGOs to carry out the BSES, preparation

of RIP, CEMP and EA etc.

Co-ordination with government agencies like revenue

department and collector encroachments to finalise
eligibility and entitlements

Shifting of families through NGOs involvement under

the supervision of trained and qualified team of MMRDA

Taking over of cleared lands and providing security to

prevent re-encroachments
Impact Assessment
The execution of MUTP, MUIP and resettlement and rehabilitation of
project affected/slum dwellers would have several spin off benefits
The cost of the R&R if entirely procured through public
procurement process, purely on financial terms would cost Rs.
1500 Cr.

The process through which these tenements were procured has

put a very limited burden on government and therefore saved the
public funds at large

This project not only helped to relieve Mumbai of its

transportation problems but also give the much awaited impetus
to the stagnant growth of Mumbais economy

The transport infrastructure project are expected to yield

remarkable benefits to the city in terms of improved productivity,
saving in fuel and travel time, reduction in pollution and overall
growth of the city
