In amidst of all these efforts by civil society, Bibek Debroy questions who is ‘responsible’ for the urban chaos in India. He
takes us through a quick example of urban situation and jurisdiction and governance issue in Delhi which are similar to the
situations seen in many other cities of our country. He states: Let’s take the example of Delhi. There are 3 Census towns in Delhi,
Asola (population 5,003), Bhati (population 15,888) and Jonapur (population 7,419). There also happen to be 369 villages in Delhi. I find it a
bit odd that there are two “villages” right next to where we live – Mahipalpur and Masoodpur. Why is it odd?
Because there is a Mahipalpur‐Masoodpur main road that cuts across the heart of Vasant Kunj, from Chattarpur on one side to the National
Highway on the other. The widening and maintenance of this road is the responsibility of MCD. But the street‐lights (and assorted other
things) along one side of the road are the responsibility of MCD, while along the other side of the road, they are the responsibility of the
Panchayats concerned. There are shops along both side of this road and they aren’t dissimilar from each other. However, the Delhi Rent
Control Act applies to one side and not to the other. (So I have been told.) But let’s leave the villages aside’
The fact is, India has been rapidly urbanizing and will continue to do so. What is “urban”? As is common with many other
countries, there is a technical definition of urban in the Census. More accurately, it is a definition of a “town”. A town is (1)
“All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee”; or (2) “All other places
which satisfied the following criteria: a minimum population of 5,000; at least 75% of the male main working population
engaged in non‐agricultural pursuits; and a density of population of at least 400 persons per sq km”.
The problem is obvious. If (1) is satisfied, we know who is responsible for urban governance, interpreted as collecting
revenue and spending it to provide urban services. In addition, we know the conduit for devolution of public expenditure
through assorted schemes. These are statutory towns. If (2) is satisfied, the habitation exhibits urban characteristics.
However, since there is no (1), we don’t know who is responsible for urban governance. These are known as Census towns.
In addition, though it doesn’t directly concern us, there are definitions of urban agglomerations and outgrowths. Census
2011 tells us there are 7,935 towns – 4,041 statutory towns, 3,894 Census towns, 475 urban agglomerations and 981
outgrowths. Read more: http://terraurban.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/indias‐urban‐chaos‐whose‐responsibility‐is‐it‐
