Scheme of lntegrated Development of Small & MediumTowns (IDSMT)
6.1 The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of IntegratedDevelopment of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT) wasinitiated in the VI Plan (1979-80). The Scheme hascontinued in the VII and VIII Plans. It aims at theimprovement of infrastructure in selected towns havinggrowth potential so as to enable them to emerge asregional centres of economic growth and employmentand facilitate arresting migration of population to largec i t i e s / t o w n s .
Constraints earlier faced in implementing the Scheme
6.2 Till 1994-95, almost the entire funding under IDSMT( C e n t r a l a n d S t a t e S h a r e s a n d i n s t i t u t i o n a l f i n a n c e ) w a sin the form of loan. Due to their unsound financialcondition, most of the municipalities found it extremelydifficult to tap institutional finance which was to the extent
of 40-70% of the project cost under the guidelines invogue. It was felt that in the absence of some elementof grant, it would not be possible for the municipalitiesto tap institutional finance to be able to take up a judiciousmix of remunerative, cost-recovery based and non-r e m u n e r a t i v e / s e r v i c e - o r i e n t e d p r o j e c t s . A c c o r d i n g l y , a sa result of mid-term appraisal of the Scheme during VlllPlan and keeping in view the provisions of theC o n s t i t u t i o n ( 7 4 t h A m e n d m e n t ) A c t , 1 9 9 2 , t h e g u i d e l i n e sfor implementing the IDSMT Scheme have beendrastically revised in August, 1995.
Salient Features of Revised IDSMT Guidelines(August 1995)
6.3 (i) Scheme Coverage:
IDSMT will be applicable to towns/cities withpopulation upto 5 lakhs (earlier limit was 3 lakhs) whereelections to the local bodies have been held. IDSMTw i l l n o t b e a p p l i c a b l e t o t o w n s c o v e r e d u n d e r t h e P r i m eMinister’s Integrated Urban Poverty EradicationProgramme (PMIUPEP), i.e., towns with populationbetween 50,000 and 1 lakh (C Category). For thiscategory, IDSMT components will have to be taken upunder PMIUPEP The Revised Scheme provides fordevelopment of a selected number of potential growthcentres by adopting a ‘whole town development’approach rather than spreading the funds too thinlyamong a large number of towns.
(ii) State Urban Development Strategy Paper:State Govts./UT Admns. are required to formulate
State Urban Development Strategy Papers and identifygrowth centres (priority towns) for funding under IDSMTwith comprehensive justification.
(iii) Grant-in-aid for preparation of Town DevelopmentPlans and Project Reports:
In accordance with the State Urban DevelopmentStrategy Paper and Town/City Master Plans: the Town/City Development (Investment) Plans and IDSMT projectr e p o r t s f o r i m p l e m e n t i n g t h e s e P l a n s a r e r e q u i r e d t o b ep r e p a r e d b y t h e m u n i c i p a l i t i e s . T o e n a b l e t h e p r e p a r a t i o nof such plans and project reports, grant-in-aid will beavailable to State Governments/Municipalities (throughthe State Nodal Agencies) on a 60 (Central Grant): 40(State Grant) basis with total cost restricted betweenRs. 3 lakhs and Rs. 6 lakhs depending upon thepopulation category of town.
(iv) Scheme Components:The components will consist of works having city/
townwide significance which are in accordance with theCity/Town Development Plans. These may include
strengthening of Master Plan roads (including streetlighting) and drainage works, development of bus/truckterminals, sites and services, market and shoppingcomplexes, tourist facilities, city/town parks, etc. Severalt o w n s h a v e b e e n benefited u n d e r ’ p r o j e c t s t a k e n u p u n d e rt r a f f i c a n d t r a n s p o r t a t i o n , m a r k e t s a n d m a n d i s a n d s i t e sand services components, etc.
(v) Financing Pattern:
The Scheme envisages a mix of grants (Central andState) and loans/internal (municipal) resources forIDSMT projects. Project cost, grant and loan/ internalresources components will vary between towns asfollows:
Category of Town/Population Range
Minimum Grant Loan/P r o j e c t % Internal
cost Reso-(Rs. lakhs) urces%
A (<20000) 1 0 0 8 0 % 2 0 %

TheState Govts. have constituted the state level IDSMTSanctioning Committees and 79 towns were coveredunder IDSMT during 1995-96 as per the revised Schemeguidelines and Central grant amounting to Rs. 19.40crores released. The total Central Assistance ofRs. 87.16 crores released during the first four years ofthe VIIl Plan also includes an amount of Rs. 16.87 croreson account of subsequent/final instalments for ongoingprojects in 104 towns covered under IDSMT from VIIPlan onwards.
Mega City Scheme
7. The National Commission on Urbanisation hadrecommended that Central assistance be provided fordevelopment of infrastructure in cities of nationalimportance. Considering this and the persistentdemands by the’ccncerned State Governments, theCentrally Sponsored Scheme of lnfrastructuralDevelopment in Mega cities has been introduced from1993-94.
7.1 The salient features of the Scheme are:
(a) It is applicable to Bombay, Calcutta, Madras,Bangalore and Hyderabad.
(b) It is administered through the Ministry of UrbanAffairs & Employment and funds would bechannelised through a special institution/ nodalagency at the State level.
(c) the fund sharing between Central Govt. andState Govt. is 25% : 25% and the balance 50%
(d)
(e)
(f)
is to be met from institutional finance, throughpublic financing institutions or capital market.
The nodal agency would provide project relatedfinance for urban infrastructure including watersupply, sewerage, drainage, sanitation, citytransport, land development, slum improvement,solid waste management etc.
The projects to be included under the Schemeare of three categories:
(i) basic services where minimum returns arenot expected and for which loans couldbe at marginal or zero interest rate andsome grants could be provided:
(ii) Where user charges could be levied -for which loans could be at 8%; and
(iii) Projects which are remunerative and forwhich loans would be given at market rateof interest.
The Mega City Scheme nodal agencies are re-quired to constitute a Revolving Fund with thehelp of the Central and State share. It is stipu-lated that after accounting for interest on bor-rowed capital etc., a minimum of 75% shouldremain in the Corpus of each Nodal Agency atthe end of Ninth Plan (2092). The objective isto create and maintain a special fund for thedevelopment of infrastructural assets on a sus-tained basis.
7.2 The nodal agencies for the Mega City Scheme are:
Bombay Bombay Metropolitan Region Develop-ment Authoriiy (BMRDA)
Calcutta Calcutta Metropolitan DevelopmentAuthority (CMDA)
Madras Metropolitan Infrastructure DevelopmentCorporation (MIDC)
Hyderabad Hyderabad Urban Development Authority(HUDA)
Bangalore Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Develop-ment Finance Corporation (KUIDFC)
Projects under the Scheme are to be sanctioned by aState Level Sanctioning Committee with three membersfrom the State and two members from the CentralGovernment. Joint Secretary (UD) of Ministry of UrbanAffairs and Employment and Adviser (HUD), PlanningCommission are the Cen t ra l Gove rnmen trepresentatives in the Project Sanctioning Committee.
7.3 The 8th Plan indicated an outlay of Rs. 700 ctoresfor this Scheme (Bombay - Rs. 200 ctores, Calcutta -Rs. 200 crores, Madras - Rs. 100 crores, Hyderabad -Rs. 100 crores and Bangalore - Rs. 100 crores). During93-94, an amount of Rs. 70 crores was released by thePlanning Commission - treated as CentralGovernment’s share for the Scheme. In addition, anamount of Rs. 50 lakhs (Rs. 10 lakhs each for the fivemega cities)) was released for undertaking preliminarystudies/project preparation exercises. During 1994-95,Rs. 74.5 crores were released to the five mega cities asCentral Share (Bombay - Rs. 16.1 crores, Calcutta -Rs. 16.1 crores, Madras R s . 1 1 . 1 crores, Bangalore-Rs. 20.1 crores and Hyderabad - Rs. 11 .1 crores).During 1995-96, Rs. 83.5 crores were released underMega Cii Scheme (Bombay - Rs. 18.0 crores, Calcutta -Rs. 18.0 crores, Madras - Rs. 17.0 crores Bangalore -Rs. 15.0 crores and Hyderabad - Rs. 15.5 crores). Anamount of Rs. 8.00 lakhs each was also released to thefive mega cities for taking up feasibility studies,preparation of Mega City Development Plans etc.
7.4 The works on the project to be implemented underthe Mega City Scheme have been commenced by theState Governments. According to the Schemeguidelines, the State level Project SanctioningCommittee will approve projects and CentralGovernment will have only a monitoring/reviewing role.The Sanctioning Committee in all the Mega Cities haveapproved projects for implementation. By 31.3.96projects amounting to Rs. 1245.66 crores have beenapproved by these Committees.
Urban Mapping
8. The fast growth of urban areas both physically anddemographically has resulted in rapid changes intownship structure, land use patterns, physicalinfrastructure base as well as so&-economic activities.However, the mapping of towns and cities incorporatingall such changes from time to time has not kept pace.Due to this many urban areas in the country do not haveup to date base maps today. The National Commissionon Urbanisation in their report has recognised theinadequacy of proper base maps for majority of the urbancentres and suggested preparation of latest base mapsand their periodic updating by the use of moderntechniques of aerial photography and remote sensingfor all the towns and cities. To meet the requirements ofbase maps for towns and cities, a scheme for preparingurban maps using aerial photography was proposedduring the 8th Five Year Plan so as to enable updatingof the maps in a revision cycle.
8.1. The major objectives of the Urban MappingScheme are:- to obtain aerial photographs and photo mosaics
for the selected priority cities on a scale of1 10,000.
- to develop technical capabilities of Town Plan-ning Organisations at Central and State levelsin terms of manpower and equipment for inter-pretation and use of aerial photographs forpreparation of urban maps.
- to prepare base maps, with necessary specifi-cations and details for the selected prioriiy cit-ies on 1:2500 scale coinciding with the legaland technical requirement of town planning ex-ercises; and
- to generate digital graphic inputs for GeographicInformation Systems for updating base mapsin revision cycle.
8.2. In consultation with State Governments, TCPOhas identified 25 towns from various States, to becovered under the first phase of scheme. Aerialphotography for ten towns has already been taken bythe National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) and forthree more towns, part of the job of aerial photographyhas been completed. Urban Mapping for the 25 townswill involve aerial photography, ground control/truth datagathering, rectification of aerial photographs andpreparation of base maps by NRSA within next threeyears. On receipt of the these maps, the same can beused by the State Town Planning Departments for thepreparation/revision of developmental plans of therespective towns as an immediate use. Simultaneously,TCPO in collaboration with the concerned State TownPlanning Departments would undertake interpretationof aerial photographs and collection of other secondarydata/information to generate thematic maps/layers asgraphic and attribute data base for the development ofGIS and processing of information for use of TownPlanning Departments, local bodies, developmentauthorities, PWD, Tax Departments and other sectoraldevelopment agencies, as multi-purpose maps.
8.3. The allocation for the project together with researchand training in urban and regional planning included inthe 8th Five Year Plan is Rs. 5.50 crores. A sum of Rs.6.08 crores has already released to TCPO under thescheme up to March, 1996 out of which a sum of Rs.2.59 crores has been paid to NRSA as an advancepayment for the work of aerial photography and basemapping and Rs. 21 lakhs have been utilised forupgrading hardware/software facilities and training ofpersonnel. Considering the importance of the Urban
Mapping scheme, the Planning Commission has beenrequested to enhance the allocation under the UrbanMapping Scheme (including research and training)to Rs. 19 crores during the 8th Five Year Plan.
Provision of lnfrastructural Facilities in theDisplaced Persons’ Colonies in West Bengal.
9 . After considering a note submitted by theMinistry of Rehabilitation in 1976, the Cabinetapproved the proposal to fund infrastructuraldevelopment in displaced persons’ (East Bengalrefugee) colonies in West Bengal. A total number of103157 plots for refugees waere to be developedcovering 612 colonies at a cost of Rs. 23.85 crores.
9.1. The various components of development in therefugees’colonies included provision of water supply,drainage, roads and pathways, sanitation and otheritems (at the rate of Rs. 2500 per plot in CalcuttaMetropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) area andat Rs. 1700 per plot in non-CMDA areas). In the 1 stphase, 12000 plots were taken up at a cost of Rs.2.68 crores (implemented during 1976-82). 2ndphase was approved in 1982 for developing 29,825plots at a cost of Rs. 7 crores. The balance plots wereproposed to be covered in the 3rd phase. Before thethird stage was taken up, the State Govt. and theMinistry of Home Affairs raised certain issues suchas increase in the ceiling cost of development andinclusion of additional 607 post 1950 colonies in theprogramme. The Ministry of Home Affairs appointeda Technical Group to examine the cost of developmentand in 1987, the Technical Committee recommendeda uniform amount of Rs. 11,931 per plot. Meanwhilethe State Govt. reported that 59,132 plots weredeveloped as against 41,825 plots approved for phaseI and II. The State Govt. had incurred an expenditureof Rs. 12.01 crore as against the Central Grant ofRs. 9.68 crores.
9.2. After detailed examination of the issues inconsultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs, theState Government and the Planning Commission,proposals were submitted by this Ministry to theCommittee of Secretaries. Based on the decisions ofthe Committee of Secretaries, revised proposals wereput up to the Cabinet which approved in January,1995, a revised ceiling cost of Rs. 17,777/- per plotfor development, reimbursement of Rs. 2.33 croresto the State Government and provision of Rs. 78crores in the Central budget to be released to the StateGovt. as grant for completing action on the balance
44,025 plots (originally approved by the Cabinet in1976) in a phased manner.
9.3. During 1995-96, a budget provision of Rs. 20crores was available, out of which Rs. 2.33 croreswere provided to the Government of West Bengal forreimbursement of the expenditure already incurred.On the basis of recommendations of the ProjectImplementation Committee appointed for the purpose,the Ministry has released the entire amount of Rs. 20crores to the Government of West Bengal.
EXTERNALLY AIDED URBAN DEVELOPMENTPROJECTS
I. World Bank aided Urban Development Projects
10. The World Bank is assisting various StateGovernments in the implementation of UrbanDevelopment Projects. At present such projects areunder implementation in the States of Uttar Pradeshand Tamil Nadu. The Urban Development Projectwhich was under implementation in Gujarat wasclosed on 31 st March, 1995. The details of the on-going Projects are shown in the Table below. TheProject covers several Sectors/Areas such as Sitesand Services/Area Development,T ransport, Low CostSanitation, Water Supply, Solid Waste Management,Shelter/Slum Upgradation, Municipal DevelopmentFund, etc. The Ministry of Urban Affairs & Employmentmonitors the implementation of World Bank AidedProjects in States.
10.1 Proposals for urban development projects werereceived by the Ministry of Urban Affairs &Employment from the States of Kerala, Orissa andMadhya Pradesh for seeking assistance from theWorld Bank. The Government of Maharashtra alsoforwarded a request for World Bank assistance forthe proposed Bombay Urban Infrastructure Project.These projects have been recommended by thisMinistry’to the World Bank through the Deptt. ofEconomic Affairs. However, due to a rethinking in theWorld Bank on their policy towards financing UrbanSector projects in India, these projects have not yetbeen formally appraised by the Bank for possiblefunding. The matter has been taken up with the Deptt.of Economic Affairs and action on the proposed/pipeline projects will be taken on receipt of decisionof the Bank. It is likely that the Bank may favourlending for urban sector projects through financialintermediaries. This issue was discussed in theworkshop jointly held by this Ministry and the WorldBank during 8-9 March, 96 at Hyderabad. Finaldecision from the Bank is awaited.

URBAN TRANSPORT
The pervasive influence of Urban Transport on cityenvironment is increasingly attracting the attention ofdiscerning city dwellers and the Government. It is beingappreciated that growth of urban transport influencesthe efficiency and economy of the city, determines thedistribution of activities within and around it, affects itsquality of life, its energy needs and the safety and welfareof its people. More importantly, Urban transportcontributes to the economic output of urban areas andenables this enhanced output to be utilised for thedevelopment of the surroundng hinterland and ruralareas.
Growth of vehicles in urban areas
2. The increase in population of cities due to naturalgrowth and migration has resulted in substantial increasein traffic demand. However, investment in public transportfacilities has not kept pace with this growing trafficdemand. The total number of vehicles in the countryhas gone up enormously in the last few decades, asmay be seen from the table given below:-

3. In particular, there has been a virtual explosionin the number of motor vehicles in Delhi. The totalnumber of automotive vehicles in the national capitalhas gone up from a mere 0.54 million as on 1.4.81 to2.54 million as on 1 .10.95. This was more than the totalnumber of motor vehicles of all types in the other threemajor metropolitan cities of Calcutta, Bombay andMadras put together.
Need of Mass Transport Systems
4. There has been a phenomenal increase in thenumber of personalised vehicles in the urban areas. Thepercentage of buses, which was 11.5 per cent in 1961,decreased to a mere 1.9 per cent by 1990 and it is
estimated that it will further go gown to 1.3 per cent bythe year 2001 A.D. The share of personalised vehicles,on the other hand, has gone up sharply and now standsat 84.7 per cent of the total number of vehicles in theurban areas. Such a situation has resulted inunprecedented traffic congestion, unbearableatmospheric and noise pollution and increased accidentrates in most of the metropolitan cities in India. To tacklethis problem, introduction of multi-modal mass rapidtransit (MRT) systems in our metropolitan cities is ofutmost importance. However, such systems are highlycapital intensive and it has not been possible either forthe Government of India or for the concerned StateGovernment to provide adequate funds for theseprojects. Resources for such projects have, therefore,to be raised through loans, dedicated levies and taxesin the concerned cities and property development, etc.
Nodal Ministry for Urban Transport
5. The Ministry of Urban Affairs & Employment hasbeen entrusted with the responsibility of ptanning andcoordinating Urban transport matters in the country.However, staff support for the Urban Transport Divisionin the Ministry is still lacking. The Ministry extendsfinancial assistance to the State Governments/UnionTerritory Administrations to carry out feasibility studiesin the urban transport sector for various cities andcoordinates in exploring ways and means of funding MRTsystems in such cities.
6. During the year 1995-96, a sum of Rs. 7 croreswas provided for Urban Transport. This was utilisedmainly for assisting State Governments/Union TerritoryAdministrations in carrying out feasibility studies/preparation of detailed project reports for the Delhi MRTSand other projects and commissioning other studies inthe field of urban transport for selected cities in thecountry.
Urban Transport Projects in the country
Delhi
7. A proposal has been taken up for implementing aRail-based Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in Delhi,keeping in view the acute problem of road congestionand air pollution prevailing in the city. The Governmentof NCT of Delhi is expected to be an equal partner inthe funding and implementation of this project. Whilethe complete network for the Delhi MRT Systemproposes to cover 184.5 Kms., the modified first phaseof the project envisages to cover 55.3 Kms. Loanassistance for the project has been sought from the
OECF (Japan) and the technofinancial appraisal of theproject by the OECF has been done under its SAPROFScheme. A company under the name and style of theDelhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC Ltd.) hasbeen incorporated on 3.5.95 in pursuance ofGovernment decision. At present the company has apaid up share capital of Rs. 3.60 crores. The detailedproject report for the Modified Phase-l prepared byRITES estimates that this phase would costapproximately Rs. 4182 crores at April, 1995 prices andwill take about 10 years for its completion, after finalinvestment approval is accorded and funds are madeavailable.
Bombay
8 . An Urban Transport Project in Bombay (BUTP-II)comprising of a road component as well as a railcomponent is being processd by the Government ofMaharashtra and BMRDA in consultation with theMinistry of Railways. Detailed studies in this regard havebeen taken up with World Bank support, based on whichthe final project is expected to be firmed up.
Calcutta
9 . An under-ground Metro Rail Corridor has startedfunctioning in Calcutta covering a length of 16.45 Kms.from Dum-Dum to Tollygunj. A proposal has beenmooted by the Government of West Bengal for extensionof this facility by a further length of 8.48 Kms. fromTollygunj to Garia. The proposal has been referred backto the Government of West Bengal for indicating theirwillingness to share a part of the cost of the project.
Madras
10. A surface-cum-elevated MRT System covering alength of about 5.05 Kms. from Beach to Chepauk hasstarted functioning in Madras. The line is sought to beextended upto Luz (3.5 Kms.) by the Ministry ofRailways. A proposal has also been received forextension of this line further from Luz to Taramani.Modalities of financing this line are under discussionbetween Government of Tamilnadu and Ministry ofRailways.
Hyderabad and Bangalore
11. The Government of Andhra Pradesh hasproposed the implementation of a Light Rail TransitSystem (LRT) in Hyderabad through joint public andprivate sector participation, but the proposal has notmade much progress due to lack of financial participationby the State Government. The Government of Karnatakaalso proposes to implement a similar Light Rail TransitSystem, with public and private sector participation, forthe city of Bangalore.
Formulation of National Urban Transport Policy
1 2 . With a view to implement the National UrbanTransport Policy, Ministry of Urban Affairs andEmployment initiated a study in 1993 through M/s. RailIndia Technical and Economic Services Limited, whichcovers a study of a sample of 21 cities in India. A draftreport in this regard has been prepared by M/s. RITESand is under discussion with them. The objective of thisstudy is to create a proper institutional framework andexplore possible methods of funding Urban Transportprojects in the country It is expected that the final reportby M/s. RITES would become available during the earlypart of 1996-97.

WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION
Water Supply & Sanitation are basic necessitiesaffecting the quality of life in urban areas, The Ministry’srole is to supplement the sector through policyformulation, technical guidance, Central assistance,training, workshops, research and internationalcooperation. The programmes undertaken during 199596 are as under:-
Low Cost Sanitation for Liberation of Scavengers:-
2 . This Centrally sponsored scheme is underimplementation through this Ministry since 1989-90. Itprovides for conversion of existing dry latrines into lowcost water seal pour flush latrines and construction ofnew sanitary units where none exist to prevent opendefecation. The basic objective is to liberate thescavengers from the obnoxious practice of carrying headloads of night soil and the scheme is being implementedon a ‘whole town’ basis.
2 . 1 The scheme is operated by providing subsidy fromthis Ministry and loans from HUDCO in a synchronisedmanner so that the conversion/construction of low costsanitation units and liberation of scavengers is done on‘whole-town’ basis. The financing pattern is as follow:-
Benef ic ia ry Monthly Income Loan Subsidy Beneficiarycategory cont r ibu t ion
EWS Upto Rs. 1250 50% 45% 5%
L I G Rs.1251 to Rs. 2650 60% 25% 15%
M I G Rs. 2651 to Rs. 4450 75% N i l 25%
H I G above Rs. 4450 75% N i l 25%---~- ~-- - -The Central subsidy and loan are released by HUDCOdirectly to the local bodies or the nodal agenices identifiedby the State Governments. The repayment period forthe HUDCO loan is a maximum of 7 years and theinterest rate for all categories is 10.5%.
2.2 The per unit cost fixed upto plinth level are:-
(i) 5-user units - Rs. 3000/-(ii) lo-user units - Rs. 4500/-
(iii) 15-user units - Rs. 5250/-
An additional 25% over these amount is also availableto hill areas and the North-Eastern States.
2.3 A Task Force of the Planning CornmissIonconstituted in 1988-89 had estimated that there are 72. 1lakhs dry latrines and 4 lakh scavengers in the urbanareas. As per available reports, the total number of drylatrines converted and new latrines constructed are4,99,626.
2.4 The Employment of Manual Scavengers andConstruction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993 wasenacted by the Central Government on 5.6.93. It was amilestone achieved to bring about an element ofcompulsion on the society towards abolishing mannualscavenging. In order to step up the progress of thisscheme, the Chief Ministers were requested by the UnionMinister for Urban Development to take appropriate steps
to make the country scavenger-free by the target dateof March, 1997. This was followed up with a meetingwith the concerned State Secretaries on 17.11.95 andagain on 12.3.96. The physical and financial progressof the scheme is at Annexure-1.
Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme(AUWSP)
3 . This Centrally scheme sponsored was launchedin 1993-94 to provide safe and adequate water supplyfacilities to the entire population of the towns havingpopulation less than 20,000 (as per 1991 Census j inthe country within a fixed time frame since these townshave a low economic base. The scheme is funded bythe Central and State Governments in the ratio of 50:50.Out of the 8th Plan allocation of Rs. 50 crores, Hs. 48 49crores has been I eleased against 204 sanctionedscheme upto 31.3.96. Rs. 20 crores has been proposedin the budget estimate for 1996-97. The StateGovernment’s response to the scheme has beenencouraging. A statement showng the financial progressduring the last 3 years is at Annexure-II
Solid Waste Management
4 . The Urban Local Bodies and Municipalities areprimarily responsible for the formulation andimplementation of schemes for management of urbanwaste. The Ministry’; role is to a c t as a facilitatorwherever possible4 . 1 The problem of waste man agement around thevicinity of IAF airfields has been e g a g i n g the attention.of the Government for quite some time Open dumpingof waste and carcass disposal attract birds, which havecaused a number of air accidents An Inter-MinisterialJoint Sub-Committee constructed by the Ministry ofDefence had, therefore, recommended that propersanitation facilities, including solid waste management,
should be provided at the following 10 airfields toovercome the bird menace:--
(i) Gwalior (M.P.)(ii) Ambala (Haryana)(iii) Hindon (U.P.)
(iv) Jodhpur (Rajasthan)
(v) Tezpur (Assam)
(vi) Dindigul (Andhra Pradesh)
(vii) Sirsa (Haryana)(viii) Adampur (Punjab)
(ix) Pune (Maharasthra)
(x) Bareily (U.P.)
4.2 It was initially decided that the concerned StateGovernments and Urban Local Bodies should share one-third of the cost as they would benefit from thisprogramme for maintaining a clean city. Accordingly, theywere requested to formulate and submit detailed projectproposals for consideration. Since there was noresponse, from the State Govts., the matter wasreviewed by the Central Government and it was furtherdecided that 100% Central assistance would be providedthrough this Ministry for improvement of water supply,sewerage/sanitation and solid waste management.Improvement of slaughter houses and carcass disposalwould be assisted through the Ministry of Agriculture.
4.3 A provision of Rs. 45.0 lakhs had been made inthis Ministry’s budget during 1995-96. The matter waspursued with the concerned State Governments andMunicipalities for taking remedial action within a radiusof 10 Kms. around the airfields and submission ofcomprehensive project proposals. HUDCO andCPHEEO are assisting in the preparation of feasibilityreports for the project towns of Ambala, Sirsa. Gwalior,Jodhpur, Hindon and Tezpur A meeting was convenedby the Ministry on 17.10.95 to review the progress andexpedite proposals for consideration. Further follow-upaction is being taken by the concerned authorities.
4.4 A Pilot Demonstration Project on Solid WasteManagement was commissioned by the Hon’ble ChiefMinister of Goa at Panaji on 3.10.95. It is a modern,well-synchronised system based on the concept ofcommunity participation. The UNDP/ World Bank andthis Ministry had provided technical and financial supportfor the implementation of this project. The Ministry hadcontributed Rs. 12.0 lakh for the project costing Rs. 79lakhs during 1994-95. The project report has been sentto all State Governments and Union Territories for theirinformation and guidance.
PHE Training
5 . Development of trained manpower is one of thethrust areas of the Ministry, The CPHEEO organisesvarious training courses through academic institutes andfield departments. Grants are provided to recognisedPublic Health Engineering Colleges and traininginstitutions for conducting post-graduate, short-term andrefresher courses. About 1280 (tentative) in-serviceengineers and technical personnel have been benefitedfrom this programme during 1995-96 as detailedbelow:-- Post Graduate Courses - 80 Degree engineers.- Short-Term courses - 100 Diploma engineers.- Refresher courses - 1100 Engineers and
Technicians
Grants amounting to Rs. 67.66 lakhs were sanctionedduring 1995-96.5.1 Besides Central assistance, the Ministry haddeputed about 60 officials from the State Governments,UTs, etc. for advanced training programmes andworkshops in U.K., U.S.A., Sweden, Japan. Malaysiaand South Korea under various fellowships and ColomboPlan training programmes.
Seminars/Workshops
6 . A National Workshop on Solid Waste Managementwas organised by the Ministry in collaboration with theWorld Health Organisation at New Delhi on the 7th and8th April, 1995, The Workshop was inaugurated by Smt.Sheila Kaul, former Minister for Urban Development andattended by officials from the State Governments/Municipalities, public and private sector.The proceedingsof the workshop have been circulated to all StateGovernments for follow-up action.6 . 1 A training programme on computer aided designof watertreatment plants was sponsored by the Ministryat Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering.Mysore from 8th to 13th April, 1995. About 20participants attended the workshop.6.2 An Indo-French Workshop on Sustainable PublicUtilities in Urban Areas was organised by the Ministryand the Governnient of France in New Delhi on the 21 stand 22nd November, 1995. The workshop wasinaugurated by His Excellency, Mr. Philippe Petit.Ambassador of France and attended by officials fromthe State Governments, Municipalities, public and privatesector companies and international organisations. Itprovided a forum to discuss the possibilities of public-private partnerships in the management of urban utilities.French and Indian experiences as well as future scopeof cooperation.
6.3 A workshop on preparation of the Manual onOperation & Maintenance of Water Treatment Plantsand Distribution System was organised by the Ministryin collaboration with the Hyderabad Metropolitan WaterSupply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) at Hyderabadfrom 18-20th January, 1996. It was attended by the ChiefEngineers and sector professionals. The workshop wasfunded by the W.H.O.
Management information System (MIS)
7 . Management information System (MIS) is anessential tool for establishing a strong data base, whichwould facilitate the process of planning and decisionmaking. A computer based MIS software has since beendeveloped and distributed to all States/UT PHEDepartment/Water Supply and Sanitation Boards. Useof the software has been demonstrated in workshopsand meetings. At the same time, it is essential to createmonitoring cells at the State and Central levels foreffective use of the system. This has not taken place tothe desired extent mainly due to financial constraints atthe State level. It has also not been possible to provideany Central assistance to the States in this regard.Hence, the expenditure under the Ministry’s budgetprovision has been negligible.
External Assistance
8. Water Supply & Sewerage projects requireconsiderable investment. The resources allocated underthe State Plans are wholly inadequate, particularly inview of the inter-se priorities. One of the policy issueshas been to encourage external assistance for viableprojects and to make them sustainable through adequatecost recovery.
8 . 1 The World Bank is the major lending agency inthis sector followed by the Overseas EconomicCooperation Fund (OECF) of Japan. Efforts are alsobeing made by the Government to obtain externalassistance from bilateral agencies. A list of externallyaided projects and those in the pipeline/underconsideration is at Annexure-III to Annexure V.
8.2 The World Bank approved a loan of US $275.8million on 20.6.95 for the II Madras (New Veeranam)Water Supply Project estimated to cost Rs. 1638.037crores. The project envisages augmentation of watersupply to Madras city from Veeranam irrigation tank overa distance of 235 Kms., improving the distribution and
strengthening the conservation of water. The World Bankalso approved a loan of US $ 192 million on 6 7.95 forthe Bombay Sewage Disposal Project estimated to costRs. 1003.80 crores. The project envisages completionof the Sewerage works in Bombay. It includesconstruction of marine outfalls at Worli and Bandra fordisposal of primary treated sewage in the sea, pumpingstations, aerated lagoons, as well as low cost sanitationfor slum dwellers.
8.3 The OECF, Japan approved a loan assistance ofJapanese Yen 28,452 million on 19.1.96 for BangaloreWater Supply & Sewerage Project, estimated to costRs. 1072 crores. The project envisages drawal of 270mld of water from the river Cauvery to Bangalore over adistance of 80 kms., laying of trunk mains, distributionsystem and laying sewer mains. The OECF has alsoapproved a loan of Japanese Yen 8670 million on 19.1.96to HUDCO for Urban Water Supply & SanitationImprovement Programme. The project envisagesimprovement of water supply, sewerage and/or drainageand solid waste management in India through HUDCO’Sfinancing scheme.
8.4 The World Health Organisation providedassistance under the Project IND CWS 001-UrbanCommunity Water Supply & Sanitation during 1995 forsponsoring officials for study tours. international trainingworkshops, conferences, consultancy studies andprocurement of supplies and equipments. The UNDP/World Bank-Regional Water and Sanitation Group forSouth Asia also assisted in the development of the sectorby providing support for pilot projects and participationin workshops/meetings.
Technical clearance of urban water supply &sanitation schemes
9 . A list of Schemes cleared by the CPHEEO in theMinistry from technical angle during 1995-96 is atAnnexure-VI
Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment
10. The Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatmentwas revised and updated by an Expert Committeeconstituted by this Ministry. The Manual has been printedand circulated to the State PHE Departments/WaterSupply & Sanitation Boards. Copies would also beavailable through the Government sales counters.

URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATIONPROGRAMMES
Urban Poverty Alleviation is a challenging task beforethe nation which calls for imaginative new approaches.The goal is to adequately feed, educate, house andemploy the large and rapidly growing number ofimpoverished city dwellers. The urban population hasincreased by 36.19% from about 160 million in 1981 toabout 217 million in 1991 further aggravating thesecenario of urban employment. The National SampleSurvey 43rd round (1987-88) has estimated that thereare about 40 million persons living below the povertyline in urban areas. However, according to LakadwalaCommittee Report of March 1994 (set up by the PlanningCommission) about 86 million persons (40% in UrbanIndia) as against total population of 217 million livedbelow the poverty line. Incidence of urban poor at 40%is higher than both rural and all India incidence of povertyat 39%.
2. The bulk of the urban poor are living in extremelydeprived conditions with insufficient physical amenitieslike low-cost water supply, sanitation, sewerage,drainage, community centres and social services relatingto health care, nutrition, pre-school and non-formaleducation. A significant portion of the urban poor belongsto Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities.The need of the hour is to improve the skills of the urbanpoor and to assist them to set up micro-enterprisesthereby providing them avenues for enhancement of theirincomes. Another major area for assistance to this targetgroup is provision of funds for housing or shelterupgradation. The Central Government has accorded ahigh priority to the substantial expansion of prog-rammes meant for improving the quality of life of theurban poor.
3. The Deptt. of Urban Employment & PovertyAlleviation is monitoring the implementation of foursignificant urban poverty alleviation programmes.
(i) The Nehru Rozgar Yojana;
(ii) The Urban Basic Services for the Poor;
(iii) The Environmental Improvement of Urban Slums:and
(iv) Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban PovertyEradication Programme. A brief account of theseschemes is given in the following paragraphs.
NEHRUROZGARYOJANA
4 . In response to the challenge posed by urban poverty,the Nehru Rozgar Yojana was launched by the Ministryin October, 1989. It was recast in March, 1990 andaccordingly the guidelines were suitably revised. TheYojana consists of three schemes :
(i)(ii)
(iii)
the Scheme of Urban Micro Enterprises (SUME),
the Scheme of Urban Wage Employment(SUWE) : and
the Scheme of Housing & Shelter Upgradation(SHASU).
The entire expenditure on the Yojana is to beshared on a 60:40 basis between the CentralGovernment and the State Government w.e.f. VlllPlan.
The Scheme of Urban Micro Enterprises (SUME)
4 . 1 The Scheme of Urban Micro Enterprises (SUME)assists the urban poor in upgrading their skills andsetting-up self employment ventures. At present, thecriterion of urban poverty is an annual household incomeless than Rs. 11,850/-. A subsidy. is provided towardssetting up the micro enterprises upto 25% of the projectcost with a ceiling of Rs. 5,000/- for SC/ST/Womenbeneficiaries and Rs. 4,000/- for general beneficiaries.The remaining amount of the project cost is availablefrom banks as a loan upto a maximum of Rs. 15,000/-for SC/ST and Women beneficiaries and Rs. 12,000/-for general category beneficiaries. This Scheme is applic-able to all urban settlements. A large number of Stateshave set up State Urban Development Agencies/DistrictUrban Development Agencies for streamlining theadministrative mechanism for implementing the NehruRozgar Yojana. The Central Government had made anallocation of Rs. 21 .10 crores for subsidy and Rs. 5.27for training during 1995-96 for SUME. Against thetarget of 1.17 lakh beneficiaries to be assisted during1995-96, 1.25 lakh beneficiaries have been assistedtill 31.3.1996. Thus the target has already beenachieved. Similarly, against the target of 0.40 lakhpersons to be trained during 1995-96, 0.46 lakhpersons have been trained till 31.3.96. During 1994-95,1.25 lakh beneficiaries were assisted to set up microenterprises and 0.37 lakh persons were given training.
The Scheme of Urban Wage Employment (SUWE)
4.2 The Scheme of Urban Wage Employment (SUWE)provides wage opportunities to the urban poor by utilising
their labourfor construction of socially and economicallyuseful public assets in the jurisdiction of Urban LocalBodies. A material-labour ratio of 60:40 is to bemaintained under the Scheme for various public worksaggregating at the district level. The minimum wagesprevalent in each urban ‘area are to be paid to theunskilled labour. This scheme is applicable to all urbanareas with a population below one lakh. The CentralGovernment had made an allocation of Rs. 21.66 croresduring 1995-96 for SUWE. Against the target of 36.10lakh rnandays of work to be generated during 1995-96,54.64 lakh mandays of work were generated till 31.3.96.Thus the target has already been achieved. During thelast year 1994-95, about 50.85 lakh mandays of workwere generated.The Scheme of Housing & Shelter Upgradation(SHASU)
4.3 The Scheme of Housing & Shelter Upgradation(SHASU) seeks to provide assistance for Housing &Shelter upgradation to economically weaker sections ofthe urban population as well as to provide opportunitiesfor wage employment and upgradation of constructionskills. A loan upto a ceiling of Rs. 9,950/- and a subsidyupto a ceiling of Rs. 1 ,000/- is provided under thisscheme to entitled beneficiaries for housing/shelterupgradation. In case of enhanced financial requirementbeyond Rs. 10,950/-. an additional loan uptoRs. 19,500/- can be taken from HUDCO under itsscheme for EWS Housing. This scheme is applicable tourban settlements having a population upto twenty lakhs.Requirements for institutional finance for the schemeare met by the Housing & Urban DevelopmentCorporation (HUDCO). The Central Government hadmade an allocation of Rs. 9.90 crores for subsidy forshelter upgradation’and Rs. 2.47 crores for trainingduring 1995-96 for SHASU. Against the target of 1.65lakh dwelling units to be upgraded and 0.15 lakh personsto be trained during 1995-96, the achievement till31.3.1996 is 0.23 lakh dwelling units upgraded and 0.21lakh persons trained. The targets could not be achievedas the States are not coming forward with schemes toHUDCO due to post-sanction formalities like furnishingof State Guarantee etc. During 1994-95, about 0.62 lakhdwelling units were upgraded.4.4 Urban Local Bodies are playing a significant rolein the implementation of the Nehru Rozgar Yojana. Theyare involved in providing work places and selling-outletsto the beneficiaries, maintaining liasion with banks andensuring provision of backward and forward linkages sothat the micro enterprises set up under the Schemerecord stable growth. An amount of Rs. 3.55 Crores
has been earmarked for the purpose this year (i.e. 199596).
4.5 Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are alsoexpected to play a significant role in the implementationof the Nehru Rozgar Yojana especially in relation totraining and strengthening backward-forward linkagesunder SUME, setting up Municipal Service Centres andcraftsmen’s guids under SUWE and HousingCorporation/Associations under SHASU. An amount ofRs. 2.13 crores has been earmarked for the samepurpose.
4.6 Thus, the Nehru Rozgar Yojana through activitiesaimed at skill upgradation, assistance for setting up microenterprises, wage opportunity through construction ofpublic assets and assistance for shelter upgradationseeks to usher in a brighter future for the urban poor inIndia. *
URBAN BASIC SERVICES FOR THE POOR (UBSP)
5. The Urban Basic Service (UBS) Programme in Indiawas initiated during the VII Five Year Plan period forurban poverty alleviation. Based on the experience ofimplementing the UBS Programme and therecommendations of the National Commission onUrbanisation, the Government revised it as Urban BasicServices for the Poor (UBSP) (1991) and integrated itwith other urban poverty alleviation programme, namely,Environmental Improvement of Urban Slums (EIUS),Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY) and Low Cost Sanitation(LCS).5.1. Objectives:-The objective of UBSP is to createparticipatory community based structures through whichcommunity participate in identifying normative/ feltneeds, prioritize them and play a major role in planning,implementing, maintaining services and monitoringprogress.
5.2 Salient Features:-One of the important featuresis to provide social services and physical amenitiesthrough convergence of various ongoing schemes ofMinistry of Urban Affairs & Employment and variousspecialist departments like Health, Family Welfare,Women & Child Development, Education, WelfareLabour, Small Scale Industry, Non-conventional EnergyResources and Science and Technology. Such aconvergent approach will lead to optimum utilisation ofscarce resources and help in successful implementationof various sectoral programme thereby providing socials&vices and physical amenities to the urban poor.
5.3. Target Group:-The urban poor residing in lowincome Neighbourhoods are the target groups for
provision of social services under the Scheme andphysical amenities to be provided under the Environ-mental Improvement of Urban Slums (EIUS) Scheme.Urban poor residing contiguous to low incomeneighbourhoodslslums would also be able to avail ofthe social services provided under the Scheme. Specialemphasis is given to women and child beneficiaries.
5.4. NGO:-NGOs are increasingly becoming criticalelement in the UBSP programme. Within the UBSPprogramme, NGOs are involved as Field TrainingInstitute for city level training. At city level, NGOs conductcollaborative activities including community mobilisation,basic education, women’s income generating and thriftsocieties and community nutrition etc.
5.5. Financial Outlay:--A total outlay of Rs. 100 croreshas been provided for the Scheme for the Eighth PlanPeriod. A sum of Rs. 18.00 crores was earmarked forthe Piogrammefor the year 1995-96 out of which a sumof Rs. 17.50 crores has been released as Central Shareto the States/UTs. An identical amount has beenearmarked for the year 1996-97.5.6. Achievements:-As on March 31,1996, over 7845Neighbourhood Development Committees comprisingprimarily of urban poor women had been set up in around301 towns taken up for provision of basic services allover the country. This represents community basedstructures covering around 65 lakh low income women& children, 3712 Mini Plans have already been prepareda na d 582 Community Organisers are in the field workingas catalysts for enriching community participation. 344Community Development Societies have been formedin 3455 slum pockets selected for coverage with 69228Resident community Volunteers.5.7 Target:-With the target of twelve lakh beneficiariesto be covered during. 1995-96, the Programme hasachieved the set target touching 60 lakh beneficiariesas on March 1996, from 48 lakh beneficiaries by theend of 1994-95. UBSP aims to reach the VIII Five YearPlan target of 70 lakh beneficaries covering theremaining 10 lakh beneficaries during 1996-97.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF URBANSLUMS
6. The slum population of India was estimated to be466.24 lakhs in 1991.
6.1 The scheme of Environmental Improvement ofUrban Slums (EIUS) was formulated as a response tothe growing problem of slums during the Fifth Five YearPlan. The scheme was made an internal part of theMinimum Needs Programme (MNP) in 1974 and was
transferred to the State Sector. The scheme aims atameliorating the living conditions of urban slums dwellersand envisages provision of drinking water, drainage,community baths, community latrines, widening andpaving of existing lanes, street lighting and othercommunity facilities. The improvements are meant tobe carried out in notified slums which are not likely to becleared within the next 10-15 years.
6.2 The total outlay on this scheme during the SeventhPlan was Rs. 269.55 crores based on a per capitaexpenditure of Rs. 300 per slum dweller. The target forcoverage during the Seventh Five Year Plan period was9 million slum dwellers against which 9.98 million slumdwellers i.e. more than the target had been covered.Against the target of covering 15.40 lakh slum dwellersduring 1990-91, 12.93 lakh slum dwellers during1991-92,11.78 lakh slum dwellers during 1992-93,13.18lakh slum dwellers during 1993-94, 1994-95 and1995-96, the achievement were 19.35 lakh, 16.24 lakh,11.78 lakh, 13.01 lakh and 16.65 lakh slum dwellersrespectively. The target fixed for the current financialyear is 15.88 lakh slum dwellers against which 11.68lakhs slum dwellers have been covered upto Feb. 1996.Further, the per capita expenditure under the schemehas been increased from Rs. 525 to Rs. 800 andadditional inputs pertaining to community facilities,garbage removal and maintenance have been built intothe scheme. Moreover, the scheme is now to beimplemented in covergence with the programme ofUrban Basic for the Poor,
PRIME MINISTER’S INTEGRATED URBAN-ERADICATION PROGRAMME (PMI UDEP)
7. Recognising the seriousness and complexity ofurban poverty problems, especially in the small townswhere the situation is more grave due to lack of resourcesfor planning their environment and development, thePrime Minister had announced on 15th August, 1994an integrated scheme for eradication of poverty knownas Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban Poverty EradicationProgramme (PMI UPEP), which seeks to address theproblems of urban poverty with a multi-pronged and ong-term strategy. The new strategy is to put the communitystructures in the centre with direct participation andcontrol by the very groups who are envisaged to benefitfrom this programme.
7.1 The programme launched in November 1995 isapplicable to all Class II Urban Agglomerations (345Nos.) with a population ranging between 50,000 andone lakh as per 1991 Census, subject to the conditionthat election* to urban local bodies have been held there.
However, in order to ensure that the urban poor couldavail of the benefits under this new Programmeirrespective of the fact that elections to urban local bodieshave not been held for one or the other reason, it wasdecided with the approval of the Prime Minister to allowimplementation of the Programme in such towns as well,as a one time exception (1995-l 996). Also keeping inview the peculiar problem of backward and hilly States,it has been decided to extend the PMI UPEP to thedistrict towns in North Eastern States, Sikkim, J & K,Himachal Pradesh and Garhwal & Kumaon Regions ofUttar Pradesh subject to the condition that (i) the districttown has urban population not exceeding one lakh and(ii) neither the district town nor any other Class II townunder it is already covered being a Class II UrbanAgglomerations.
7.2 The foremost objective of the new programme isto attack several root causes of urban povertysimultaneously in an integrated manner with anappropriate and suitable plan strategy for covering theinputs available in other sectoral programmes of CentralGovernments, Ministries/Departments as well as Non-Governmental Organisations by envisaging participatoryimplementation of the programme with the aim toeradicate urban poverty from the targetted areas by theturn of the century.
7.3 The specific objectives under the new programmeare (i) effective achievement of social sector goals,
(ii) community empowerment, (iii) Convergence throughsustainable support system, (iv) improvement of hygieneand sanitation, (v) employment generation & shelterupgradation and (vi) environmental improvement. Theprogramme will be implemented on whole town/projectbasis extending the coverage to all the targetted groupsfor having visible impact and facilitating overalldevelopment of the towns to be covered. While the targetgroup of the programme is urban poor, specially womenbeneficiaries and beneficiaries belonging to ScheduledCastes and Scheduled Tribes will constitute specialtarget groups among the urban poor.
7.4 There would be a provision of Rs. 800 crores asCentral Share for the entire programme period of fiveyears (1995-96 to 1999-2000) benefitting over 5 millionurban poor. Out of the available provision of Rs. 100crores plus Rs. 7.20 crores sought by way of matchingsavings from out of other urban poverty alleviationprogrammes during 1995-96, a sum of Rs. 106 croreshas been released as Central Share to the States/UTsfor implementation of the Programme.
7.5 Since the programme has been recently launched,it is too early to assess the benefits accruing to the urbanpoor during 1995-96. However, it is proposed to benefitapproximately 150 lakhs urban poor under thisProgramme by the end of 1996-97.

NATIONAL BUILDINGSORGANISATION
National Buildings Organisation (NBO) was establishedin 1954 as an attached office of the Ministry to take upresearch in low cost building designs, improvement ofthe building and housing conditions alongwith the socio-economic aspect. NBO also functions as the regionalcentre for housing for ESCAP.
2. Having regard to current requirements under theNational Housing Policy to strengthen the managementinformation system and various other related socio-economic and statistical functions connected withhousing and other activities and also to ensure moreeffective and systematic technology transfer at variouslevels involving large scale dissemination, use andcommercial application of low cost and innovativetechnology, NBO has been restructured during the year
1992-93 to take up mainly the socio-economic andmanagement information system and creation of databank functions. The .technical functions relating tobuilding materials and designs have been taken out ofthe purview of the NBO and given to Building Materialsand Technology Promotions Council within the Ministry.
3. In order to cope up with the creation of a strong database and also to prepare itself for handling dataconnected with monitoring of implementation of NationalHousing Policy with the help of State agencies, thecomputer facilities in NBO have been substantiallystrengthened. Based on the recommendations ofTechnical Advisory Committee set up under thechairmanship of Shri M.G. Sardana, the then DirectorGeneral of Central Statistical Organisation, a StandingAdvisory Committee has been set up to suggestmeasures for evolving a commonly acceptable definitionof house; review/modification of the existing methodologyfor estimation of housing stock and its need andshortage: to review the existing 3 Tier Scheme of datacollection taking into account factors such asassessment of data requirement/availability,determination of data gap and ways to fill such gapsthrough existing operation of agencies viz. NSSO etc.The Committee had four meetings during 1995 anddeliberations are continuing.
