Chapter 1
INTEGRATED HOUSING AND SLUM
DEVELOPMENT
Access to good housing and basic amenities like safe drinking water, toilets and
sanitation, solid waste management and roads are some of the important factors to lead a
quality life. The poor in the slums may not poor with respect to income needed for
consuming the basic minimum calorie of 2400 kcal per day, but may be poor in term of
access to infrastructure. Several programmes have been going on to provide basic
amenities to the lsum dwellers, but most are individual initiatives addressing only one
sector rather than addressing them in an integrated way.
1.1 Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission

(JNNURM)
Provision of housing coupled with basic infrastructure thus has been made one of the
main components under the JNNURM programme launched in 2005. One of the main
objectives of JNNURM is urban renewal through increased investments in urban
infrastructure and improved urban governance and institutional structure. That the
government is seriously deliberating over improving the access to basic services for the
urban poor can be gaudged from the launch of the Sub Mission of JNNURM known as
Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP). The main objectives of BSUP are:
 Focused attention to integrated development of Basic Services to the Urban Poor

in the cities covered under the Mission.
 Provision of Basic Services to Urban Poor including security of tenure at
affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring
delivery through convergence of other already existing universal services of the
Government for education, health and social security.
 Care will be taken to see that the urban poor are provided housing near their
place of occupation.
 Secure effective linkages between asset creation and asset management so that
the Basic Services to the Urban Poor created in the cities, are not only maintained
efficiently but also become self-sustaining over time.
 Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in the Basic Services
to the Urban Poor.
 Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on
universal access to urban poor.
Under this Mission share of Central and State/ULB/Parastatal would be 50:50 including
12% of the beneficiary contributrion. Under this Mission housing shall be provided with
beneficiary contribution of 12% and in case of SC/St/OBC/PH it shall be 10%.

Chapter 2
KOLKATA CITY– A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
As per 2001 census West Bengal has a urban population of 22.42 million of which 4.11
million or 18.35% are slum population. Of the total slum population within the State of
West Bengal, Kolkata accounts for 35.9% of the slum population. Thus more than one
fourth of the slum population is concentrated within Kolkata indicating the urgent need
to focus on the slums in Kolkata.
2.1 Demographic Characteristics

Kolkata Metropolis or Kolkata Metropolitan Area, with a population of 14.72 million
(2001 census) and a density of 7950 persons per Sq. Km is one of largest urban
conglomerations of the country. It has spread linearly along the banks of river Hooghly
(a distributary of the Ganga). Covering an area of 1,785 sq km that includes three
municipal corporations, 38 municipalities, 72 non-municipal urban areas and 340 rural
villages, KMA is one of the largest urban agglomerations in India.

Source: Census of India, 2001, Series 20, West Bengal
The 2001 Census reports a total population of 4,580,544 in Kolkata Municipal

Corporation (KMC) with a slum population of 1,490,811. As can be seen form the Table
that density of the population has declined since 1981 from 31651 persons per sq. km to
24497 persons per sq. km in 2001 due to addition of areas like Behala, Jadavpur and
Garden Reach within KMC area. (From 100 wards to 141 wards).

2.2 Economic Characteristics
The total number of ‘main worker in the KMC registered an annual exponential growth
of around 0.5 per cent. The growth rate of main workers in Kolkata is significantly low
compared to that of West Bengal Urban area (1.04 per cent per annum).
The total marginal 1worker in Kolkata registered an abnormally high annual exponential
growth rate of 10.76 per cent during the next decade (male marginal workers and female
marginal workers grew at the rate 10.22 per cent per annum and 12.07 per cent per
annum respectively). In fact the rate of growth of marginal workers in Kolkata is even
greater than that West Bengal urban area estimated at 9.93 per cent per annum. Such a
high growth rate of marginal workers indicates marginalization of the employment opportunities. These
marginals workers are mainly engaged in unorganized sector activities like daily wage jobs, construction
jobs, small shops, vendors, housemaids, drivesr, guards etc and add to the growth of the slum population
within the city.

2.3 Water Supply
Kolkata water supply system is one of the oldest in the country with a perennial source
of surface water which is Hooghly. Table 7.3 gives zone-wise distribution of Boroughs
and the pumping stations.

In addition to the potable water supply, KMC has an arrangement for supplying raw
water of 80 MGD. This unfiltered water is supplied through street hydrants. The number
of such hydrants is 1000 as per KMC’s Annual Report 2005-06. The distribution network
of water supply of the city consists of individual pipeline connections and public access
system through Stand Posts at different nodal points. The number of domestic pipeline
connection was 2.50 lakh in year 2005-06 and the same for industrial and commercial
purposes in the same year was 24100. In 2005-06, the number of stand posts in the city
was recorded as 17019. According to the latest available information from KMC, total
supply of potable water is 296 MGD (against the capacity of 364 MGD). The difference
between the capacity and supply may be explained in terms of ‘unaccounted for water’
(willful and un-willful loss of water). The average per capita availability of potable water
in the city is thus estimated to be 200 liter per day.
A large section of the city population lives in the slums (As per 2001 census, 32.53 per
cent). The arrangement for supply of water for the slums is distinctly different from the
other part of the city. The slum dwellers generally collect ‘potable water’ from the stand
posts which are not sufficient in numbers. Moreover the supply of water to them is
14
highly limited in terms of time also. Hence the slum dwellers are compelled to use
unfiltered water from the several water bodies and hand pumps. As a whole slum
dwellers are the worst affected section of the society both in terms of quantity and
quality of water supply. Moreover, they are to spend a long time to collect their water,
thus the opportunity cost of water collection for slum dweller obviously is high.
The project prepared by Western International and others for Kolkata Municipal
Corporation estimated in 2001 that total demand for 15 boroughs under KMC in the
year 2006 will be 339.35 MGD. The break-up of domestic, Industrial-Commercial-
Institutional (ICI), other demands and various losses as projected in this report for the
year 2006 are shown in Table-7.

However KMC has yet to attain this figure from surface water supply system. It has
adopted various schemes to boost up the supply in the near future.
 KMC has decided to take up two-booster pumping station projects – One of 3.0
MGD capacity as Daspara in ward no. 124 (Added Area) and the other of 2.0
MGD at Siriti Park, Behala in ward no. 116 (Added Area).
 Redressing of bottleneck of bringing water through dedicated main from the
Garden Reach Water Works to some parts of South Kolkata through Majherhat
railway Terminal with the technical collaboration from M/S RITES G.O.I.
 New mega water project by KMC of capacity 30 MGD water treatment Plant at
Dhapa for augmenting water supply to the eastern fringes of Kolkata.
 Assistance for implementing the Phase III of Garden Reach Water Works of
KMW&SA for 60 MGD water treatment plant.
 Extension of transmission and distribution grids.
 Assisting KMW&SA in acquiring land at Gandhi Maidan in Metiabruz for the
installation of a booster pumping station.
 To ensure treated surface water to at least 95 per cent of the households in the
city within five years.
 Reduction on the dependence of ground water supply as far as possible.

2.4 Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one of the most important services provided b y
KMC. SWM involves collection, transportation and disposal of domestic, industrial and
bio-medical waste generated in the city in an environmentally sound manner.
In a vast city like Kolkata, management of solid wastes is a crucial civic issue. In the
jurisdiction of KMC, there are 6 lakh households, 252 markets generating on an average
3000 M.T. of solid waste daily, which amounts to 450 gms/capita per day. Of the total
waste generated 55 per cent comes from the domestic sources and remaining 45 per cent
from commercial sources.
KMC is the only metropolitan city corporation, which has introduced primary collection
at household level by amending the KMC Act. The mazdoors collect solid waste directly
from every household in most places with their handcarts and alert them with their
whistles so that they can put their wastes into the handcarts. The wastes that are collected
from house to house are ultimately put in secondary collection points of municipal vats
or dumper placer containers for onward transmission to the disposal ground.
However, the primary and secondary collection systems have several deficiencies. The
KMC’s Master Plan for Solid Waste Management under the KMC project notes that
sweeping and collection of wastes is not done in the added areas as regularly or efficiently
as it is done in the core city area. As a result the household and market wastes are thrown
on open places or open drains. There are 664 such collection points of which 388 are
open vats and the rest are in the form of bulk containers or direct loading. However, a
large number of municipal vats are without any cover, which is unhygienic, and most of
the vats are in dilapidated conditions needing repair and maintenance. The chain of
activities from primary collection, transfer of wastes and then secondary collection also
results in loss of productivity.
KMC introduced direct loading system in some areas where KMC uses specially designed
handcarts with four containers in each handcart. The mazdoors take the household
wastes directly to the truck waiting for the disposal. This not only saves time but also
restricts pollution from the solid wastes. Very recently KMC introduced mechanical
sweeping system in a few pockets. But there is not any elaborate system of segregation of
wastes in recyclable and non-recyclable parts at the primary collection point.
Collected garbage is transported by means of trucks and containers. Mnual handling is

the common way of loading and unloading though pay loaders are also used for loading
and tipping. Dumper placer operates the containers.
About 55 per cent of the total collected waste is transported by private agency. For
transporting the wastes to the dumping ground, KMC uses 25 per cent (65 trucks)
departmental vehicles and 75 per cent (195 trucks) contractual vehicles. The details for
waste collection and transportation fleet are given in Table 7.6.

The waste is disposed through crude dumping and landfilling at Dhapa and Garden
Reach. The former is in operation since 1863. Here, out of 2100 acres of land, only 400
acres are left for use. The rest have already been filled up. At the present rate of
utilization it can sustain only 30-40 years of waste dumping which seems to be a matter
of great concern. Apart from these, a number of low-lying areas in Tollygaunge, Behala,
and Jadavpur etc. are also being used for dumping of wastes. The city requires 75 acres
of land per year for this purpose.

2.5 Sewerage and Sanitation

The sewerage system of Kolkata is one of the oldest in India (140 years ago the system
was constructed in British era). In Kolkata 55 per cent of the area is covered by the
sewerage system and part of the remaining portion is covered by ‘Septic Tank’ system. In
Some places the existing storm water drains are used to carry sewage as well. The system
has adequate conveyance capacity during weather flow but do not have enough capacity
to handle storm flow. The City has a total of 1390 km of sewers, of which 1207 km is
pipe sewer and 180 km is brick sewer (as per the record of KMC/KMWSA in 1992)
Around 88 km of the sewer line is made up of bricks and are man entry sewers, with 42
inch diameter (BIIDL 2006).
Kolkata being a mega city has only 60 per cent of its area under the underground
sewerage system. In addition to this, nearly 10 per cent of total area under KMC is not
yet covered by ‘drainage system’. The following table shows the status of drainage system
in Kolkata in a brief.

However, there is no sewage treatment plant. The raw sewage is stabilized in an aerobic
way in the East Kolkata basin where fish cultivation is done. But, these outfall channels
are gradually dying down because of excessive human habitation and unlimited
construction activity. The whole 55 to 60 per cent area of the city that are covered by
18
underground sewerage system comes under the core city area. The remaining uncovered
40 percent are falling in the added area of the city.
2.6 SLUMS IN KOLKATA

Slums are the direct manifestations of the growing poor people within the city. An old
city without any slum is inconceivable, particularly in the developing countries. It is a
universal fact that, with growth of cities slums also mushroom. The difference only lies in
the extent of their proliferation and in the level of deficiencies in civic services.
2.6.1 Definition of a Slum
As per the Calcutta Municipal Act of 1951, the Bustee is defined as “an area of land
occupied by or for the purpose of any collection of huts, standing on a plot of land not
less than 10 cottahs in area (approximately one sixth of an acre). Hut means any building,
no substantial part of which including the walls up to a height of 18 inches from floor
level and is constructed of masonry, reinforced concrete, steel, iron or other metal”.
The Slum Areas (Improvement & Clearance) Act of 1956 defines slum “as a cluster of
hutments comprising several rooms, constructed with temporary building
materials, where each room is inhabited by a family sharing a common latrine
and having no arrangements for water supply, drainage or the disposal of solid
waste and garbage within the cluster boundaries”.
According to the Thika Tenancy Act, 1981, the bustees are legalized entities having a
three-tier tenancy system – (i) the absentee landowner (ii) the Thika Tenant, who has
taken lease of the land from the landowner and (iii) the Bharatia or the tenant, who has
taken the huts on rent. The right of the Thika tenants as well as the tenants or hutment
dwellers is well protected by law. They can neither be evicted nor can the rents be raised
under normal circumstances. The landowner has little interest in the land, as he cannot
terminate the lease to his advantage. Consequently none of the groups in the three-tier
system are interested in any investment for improvement, either for quality of structure
or for environmental condition of the bustees, which, as a natural outcome, have gone
from bad to worse in course of time.
2.6.2 Classification of Slums

The slums in Kolkata can be broadly classified into two different categories
(i) Authorised - those that are officially authorised are called bustees.
(ii) Unauthorised Slums - large number of squatter settlements, which are not
authorised. These squatter settlements have grown up by the side of canals, large
drains, garbage dumps, railway tracks and roads. The living conditions of the people
living in these shanties are the worst. They do not have proper access to any basic
amenities such as sanitation or water.
Authorised Slums
 The first kind of slums existed during the British period when middlemen took land
from the landowners usually for a long term and built hut type settlements which
19
they let out to migrants. As mentioned earlier these migrants needed a place to live
and had no alternative but to accept accommodation without basic amenities.
 There is another type of slum called “thika tenant slums” where the slum dwellers
have taken possession at a fixed rent and have constructed their houses.
 A third type of slums is those constructed by zaminders (landowners) themselves and
let out to the slum dwellers. These types of slums are locally called bustees.
 The fourth type of slums is Refugee Resettlement Colonies (locally called udbastu
colonies) where land has been leased out for 99 years to the refugees from present-
day Bangladesh by the government at nominal prices.
Unauthorised Slums
Among the unauthorised slums types are those which are simply encroachments on the
roadside (locally called jhupri), canals (called khaldhar), or any vacant place (called udbastu)
by the poor people either displaced from the city itself or retrenched from their work
place.
2.6.3 Slum Characteristics

Population, Growth and Density
The influx of population after the partition in 1947 led to the growth of several slums
and refugee colonies in the city. In the subsequent years also, the excessive population
growth has created the shortage of housing, which ultimately resulted into the rise of
more slums. In 1981, 30.3 per cent of the city population lived in the slums. According
to 2001 Census, the city’s slum population is 14.9 lakh which accounts for 32.55 per cent
of the total population of the city.
Another survey conducted by the KMC in 2002 reports that 15.24 lakhs slum people live
in 5072 registered slums in 141 wards in KMC. In Table 12 we see that Kolkata has the
second highest percentage of slum population among the four metropolises.

These slums cover 24.28 sq. km. area or almost 13 per cent of the whole city area. In
addition, a large number of people are living in the unauthorized slums. According to
KMDA estimate, there were about 55000 pavement dwellers in the city in early 1990s.
2 KUNDU , 2003
3 THE SUDDEN DECLINE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF SLUM POPULATION IN 1991 CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE ADDITION OF NEW WARDS WITHIN THE KMC
AREA AND HENCE HAS TO BE ANALYSED CAREFULLY .

The major cause of the growth of slums in Kolkata is migration. Different ethnic groups
migrated to Kolkata at different time periods. They included not only people from the
neighbouring states like Bihar, Orissa and Assam but also from the distant states like
Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Kerala and others. Even a large number of Chinese,
Nepalese and other groups have been accommodated in the city. These ethnic groups
mainly came to the city in search of jobs. The first massive migration took place in
Kolkata in the beginning of 1905 due to the partitioning of Bengal province. The second
wave of migration occurred after the partition in 1947. More than 2.5 lakh new
immigrants arrived in 1947, the number increased to almost six lakh in 1948. Table 14
illustrates the trend in the migration in Kolkata Urban Agglomeration during the last 90
years.
From Table 14 we can observe that though the total number of migrants was highest in
2001 but their share in the total population was highest in 1951. We can see that in 1951
and 1961 more than half of city’s populations were outsiders. Since 1971 the percentage
of migrants had been steadily declining till 1991. Though in 2001 the percentage has
increased the new arrivals have mainly settled beyond the KMC boundary. While the
population growth rate of KMC area was less than four per cent, KMA experienced
more than 19 per cent population growth between 1991 and 2001.

Note: Migration figure is available for the city upto 1961. Since 1971 the migration figure
pertains to urban agglomeration
Population density in the slums is extremely high averaging around 19 people per katha
(2,812 people per ha). There is an acute shortage of space often with one room being
rented to one family with the veranda being rented to another. In most of the slums
recognised by the KMC, slum dwellers pay land tax and have secured tenancy or
ownership rights.
21
Spatial Variations
Spatial Variations in slum population is an important indiactor of the concentration of
the lsum population as well as important tool for a targeted approach towards provision
of basic services.the data reveals that more than 60- 70% of the slums are located within
borough 3,15 and 7. These areas are the old areas providing economic opportunities for
the lsum people. One important aspect of the slum concentration is as we go towards the
fringe areas of the city the concentration is declining.

Age and Location of Slums

The slums of Kolkata can be divided into groups, the older slums located in the heart of
the city, some as old as 150 years, and the more recent slums mostly located in the
outskirts of the city. Most of the slums are located in residential areas within the city.
Few slums exist on the western side of the bypass while there are slums on the eastern
and north-western side of the bypass which are located on raised land that was previously
low-lying wetlands (Bheri region). This area is still surrounded by vast water bodies into
which sewage flows from the city. The remaining land is utilised for vegetable and flower
cultivation, while fish cultivation occurs in the water bodies. Many slums developed
along the canals (Jagarani, Netainagar, Sri-Haripally) and wetlands (Chit Kalikapur).
Along with these many slums have come up around the garbage dump in Dhapa.
Economic Characteristics
Majority of the slum dwellers are engaged in the informal sector, with average monthly
earnings of between Rs 500 and Rs 1700 and a household size of five to six persons,
some three-quarters of the Kolkata slum population are below the poverty line.
The sample survey of KMA carried out during 1997 showed that the proportion of
urban poor in total population was around 19% by income criterion. However if urban
poverty is looked at as a composite index covering various factors including access to
basic infrastructure and services, the percentage of urban poor in total population will be
higher than the same by income criteria. Even though all slum dwellers may not be
categorized as “income – poor”, but slum dwellers do lack the basic infrastructure
facilities and services. As the developmental interventions strive to be “inclusive’ in
23
nature, urban poor does merit priority treatment in design of such developmental
activities. The slum people work in a wide range of occupations such as:
 Servicing the urban middle classes
 Working in small business
 Handicraft production units
 Manual labourers
The self employed men are among the better off section of the slums, with manual
labourers such as rickshaw pullers and construction labourers being the lowest paid. The
higher income groups tend to be factory workers whose wages are low but income is
regular and secure. On the basis of the socio economic survey conducted in the year
1996 – 97 it is estimated that about 19% of the population in KMA area may be termed
as the urban poor. The number of urban poor in KMA area has however gone down as
the overall urban poverty in Urban West Bengal has fallen to 15% in 1999-2000 from
23% in 1993 – 94, as per the 55th Round NSSO Survey.
Tenancy and Ownership

With respect to tenancy and ownership slums in Kolkata may be divided into three
categories. (I) Those which developed on vacant or government land.These people have
no legal documents (pattas) and have uncertain legal rights to the land they occupy. Some
are covered by CMC amenities while others are not. This includes Narayan Pally,
Netaginagar and Jagarani. (ii) Small plots of land bought from a single landowner by the
local residents, on which “hutments” were raised, land tax is paid and dwellers have legal
ownership and are entitled to amenities such as potable water and electricity. This
includes mainly the newly developed slums. (iii) Land owned by large landowners leased
out to middlemen who raised “hutments” and collected rents. The middlemen gradually
became the direct landowners paying tax to the CMC and collecting house rent. These
pockets were later covered under the Thika Tenancy Act (1981) of the Government of
West Bengal, protecting the residents from eviction. The residents pay land tax and can
sublet rooms. These slums mainly have a high proportion of floating and seasonally
migrating tenants.
Housing Characteristics
Predominant structure types in the slum areas are pukka, semi-pukka and kutcha (crude
or imperfect). The percentages of these structural types in Kolkata are pucca (85.1 per
cent), semi-pucca (12.8 per cent), and kuccha (2.1 per cent). There are houses with roofs
made of tiles and asbestos which have floors which are kutcha or pukka both. The
census also reveals that:
 90 per cent of these slum dwellers have one room per family.
 Usually each slum consists of 9 ““hutments”” and each “hutment” consists of 5 huts.
In the CMA, there are at least 225,000 huts, where one room is shared by at least
13.4 people (on average)
 Most of these bustees were developed by thika tenants during the process of
industrialisation.
Access to Basic Amenities

A survey of the slum population was conducted by KMC to capture data regarding the
population, BPL population, acces to basic amenities like sanitary latrines, water
connections, drains, roads, street lights.The Table 17 gives the data regarding access of
the slum people to various amenities.

2.7 Kolkata Municipal Corporation
The Calcutta Municipal Corporation Act 1980 came into force on January 1984. It
extended the boundaries of Calcutta by including the Municipalities of South Suburban,
Garden Reach and Jadavpur within Calcutta. The number of wards of the Corporation
was raised from 100 to 141.The provisions relating to Bustees were modified. A major
amendment was introduced in 1984 to remove certain procedural difficulties in the
matters of assessment and valuation of lands and buildings, recovery of taxes etc. Most
significant was the introduction of "Mayor-in-Council", with all the attributes of the
Cabinet form of government. This was a unique step in the area of Municipal
administration in India.
The objective of the new Act was to make the Corporation more efficient and effective.
The change in the Municipal Authority ensured that there would be three authorities:
1) The Corporation
2) The Mayor-in-Council, and
3) The Mayor.
The number of members of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation was to be 141 which
elected Councillors from the 141 wards. The Corporation as the apex body discharges its
function through the Mayor-in-Council, consisting of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and 10
other elected members of the CMC. The Mayor and the Chairman would be elected by
the members who would hold office for 5 years.
The Corporation would group the wards of the Corporation into Boroughs. Each
Borough should have a Committee consisting of the Councillors elected from the
respective wards of the Borough. The Councillors would elect one of them as the
chairperson of the said Borough. The Borough Committees should be subject to the
general supervision of the Mayor-in-Council, and look after functions such as water
supply, drainage, collection and removal of solid waste, disinfection and health
immunisation, bustee services, lighting, repairs of certain categories of roads,
maintenance of parks, drains and gullies.
The Act of 1980 thus formed the framework of the modern Corporation with the
Municipal Commissioner as the Principal Executive Officer subject to the control and
supervision of the Mayor as the Chief Executive Officer. He is assisted by a group of
Senior Civil Officers comprising Joint Municipal Commissioners, Deputy Municipal
Commissioners, Chief Engineers, Controller of Municipal Finance and Accounts, Chief
Municipal Auditor and Municipal Secretary.
The 74th Constitutional Amendment, 1992 makes provision for appropriate and
adequate representation of all elements of society. The Amendment provided
reservation of seats for the scheduled castes and tribes and for women. By the same
Amendment, the State Legislatures would endow the CMC with the power to draw up
plans for economic development and social justice. It was given the responsibility to
plan for economic development and for improvement, upgradation and promotion of
the social, cultural, educational and aesthetic aspects of life for the citizens of the
City. Subsequent to the renaming of the city in 2001, the Corporation is now known
as the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.

Chapter 3
THE PROPOSED PROJECT AREA
3.1 Project Area
As seen in Figure 1, Borough VII has more than 70% of the population living in the
slums. Present project areas of Anandanagar and Jalpara slums are falling in Ward 59
and 58 respectively in this Borough VII with 99.7 percent slum dweller as shown in
the Census Data 2001 (Annexure I). The Garden Reach-I is situated in Ward 138 of
Borough XV having borough slum density of 63.1 %- third highest of the city..
Most of the dwellers of Anandanagar and Jalpara and Garden Reach-I are from
SC/ST/OBC and other weaker sections and are below poverty line. This is a unique
scheme of rehousing of project where people below poverty line are being provided with
safe, dignified and long term settlement dovetailing GoI, GoWB, KMC funds with
beneficiaries' contribution. (The Map showing project area is given in Annexure)
Under KMC’s Anandanagar, Jalpara and Garden Reach-I housing program, 2500
numbers of dwellers will be provided dwelling units as per guideline under the scheme.
3.2 Unique features

1. Dovetailing project funds, govt. funds & beneficiaries’ contribution to ensure a
far better residence to project affected people.
2. Facilitating and providing land holding support through NGOs to the project
affected people for forming user groups for Self-Help groups for O & M for the
residential complex & the basic civic services.
3. Title of the flat given in the name of the women head of the family.
4. Facilitating behaviour change among the beneficiaries for ensuring healthy

community life, hygienic practices and cleanliness.
3.3 Criteria for identification of beneficiaries

The project area is having four clusters, which are identified by the following process.
- Community meeting along with Councilors.

- Door to door census
- Photo taken of the head of the family
- Preparation and distribution of photo identity cards after signature of the
beneficiaries.
27
3.4 Details of physical, socio-economic survey carried out
All of them are peri- urban settlements with rural characteristics, heterogeneous populations
and the poor living in single bamboo mat rooms with tiled roofed. The Anandanagar and
Jalpara settlement is on the service land of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation or vacant
factory land. The Garden Reach-I slum dwellers lost their factory jobs and were evicted from
their factory land and now settled in a scattered manner along the street side shanties, river
bank slums etc. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation aquired a portion of the vacated land at
250, Garden Reach Road and prepared this scheme for rehousing of the evicted slum dwellers.
Earlier a plot having an area of 6.73 Acres of land acquired under the Urban Land Ceiling Act
with a portion occupied by the slum dwellers was identified for accommodating the proposed
Housing for the Anandanagar Cluster. After sanctioniong of the project by the Central
Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee under the JnNURM on 9th January 2008 initiative was
taken to start the work at site. But demand was raised by the local people to reserve a portion
of the land for a big play ground out of the said 6.73 acres of land. To mitigate the problem,
another plot of land (Anandangar- II), situated nearby within the same Ward 59 and having an
area of 2145.45 sq. mt. (0.53 Acre) has been purchased by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation
to accommodate a portion of the dweling units out of the 1140 dwelling units sanctioned for
the Anandanagar.
Most of the dwellers of the Anandanagar, Jalpara and Garden Reach-I are now rickshaw
pullers, pavement hawkers, porters, cart pullers or ragpickers or daily or unskilled labourers
engaged on workers of building sites, roads, or any kind of unskilled local work.
The dwellers, most of them ragpickers, collect materials from the nearby waste disposal site of
the KMC and the hawkers with very little capital selling plastic items or a variety of low end
products for the poor and lower middle class local markets or on the pavements of Kolkata.
Very few are venders and rickshaw pullers.
Majority of the women of the slums are ragpickers or domestic helpers in the city. Their
monthly family income is below Rs.2 000.00, with a family size of minimum 5 members, and
maximum 10 members. 91% are ragpickers and rest 9% hawkers, venders, rickshaw pullers etc.
(Details of socio economic surveys carried out in the slum is given in Annexure)
3.5 Convergence with other Govt. Programs i.e. NOAPS, NFBS,

NMBS, Annapurna, Antyodaya Anna Yojana
One of the project objectives is convergence with other government programs. When
this Project will be on progress, convergence with other government schemes will be
done.
3.6 Objectives
The Project will ensure that those losing structures, livelihoods, and other resources are
assisted in improving or at least regaining their former level of living at almost no cost to
them. To achieve this goal, the Project will:
(i) To provide good housing at affordable cost with access to basic amenities like
safe drinking water, sanitation, toilets, and solid waste management.
28
(ii) To provide security of tenancy.
(iii) To provide assistance for in-situ rehabilitation of the slum dwellers that generally
improves or at least restores the social and economic base of the slum people.
(iv) Provide convergence with other Govt programs like NOAPS, NFBS, NMBS,
Annapurna, and Antyodaya Anna Yojana.
(v) To improve the overall socio economic conditions of the slum dwellers.
The apartments will be provided with such conveniences as water and electricity
connections. The design of apartments has been done to keep preferences of the slum
dwellers in view. This is reflected in locating the toilets in balconies, outside the
apartment.
These flats come with legal titles for occupants, turning informal dwellers on government
lands to legal owners of well-built apartments. The legal titles will be in the name of
women, and thus the Project will help promote the empowerment of women. The
allotment of units will be on 99-year non-saleable lease in the name of the female head of
the family and her male counterpart/kin as nominee.
