The need for City DevelopmentPlan

Due to rapid industrialization in and aroundAurangabad corporation as also due to explosionof tourist traffic for the city, Aurangabad city is grow-ing at phenomenal pace for last two decades. Dur-ing first half of 1990s the city was touted as fastestgrowing city in the country. Population has in-creased from 150483 in 1971 to 873311 in 2001.The city, in absence of a long term planning hasbeen tackling the issues arising out of this explo-sion on an ad-hoc basis. In fact till an issue be-comes something of an urgency it does get ad-dressed as city government is already grapplingwith other issues that have acquired urgent pro-portions. This has led to sub-optimum uses of re-sources and also less than desirable effects of re-source spending. Again discontent in the popula-tion also gets risen as problems are tackled lateand in an unsatisfactory way. Also important issuesgets a back seat as urgent issues take over.

This has led to a realization that city must assessits current situation, understand the opportunity thatexist as well as competition it faces, project its vi-sion, focus on priority issues that otherwise maycreate bottlenecks in the developmental goals, al-locate its resources in an optimum way and planan investment raising routes, with evaluation of al-ternate strategies for implementation of the vision.

JNNURM, the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban RenewalMission, launched by Hon. Prime Minister of Indiaon 3rd of December, 2005 also makes this need acorner stone of the initiative. The mission whichaims at ‘creating economically productive, efficient,equitable and responsive cities in an integratedframework with focus on economic and social in-frastructure, basic services to poor and urban sec-tor reforms’, makes it mandatory to make a me-

dium term ‘City Development Plan’ to avail any kindof assistance under the mission. Even the Gov-ernment of Maharashtra has made it clear that anykind of financial assistance that a corporation orany civic body desire will follow only if the city makesthis medium term plan and utilizes the assistancein a manner that is consistent with the plan.

This insistence of both the state and central gov-ernments, amidst the growing realization as statedin the paragraph preceding the last one, has led tocrystallization of idea of need of making a mediumterm CDP. Thus Aurangabad Municipal Corpora-tion started in right earnest the preparation of CDPand this document is the result. However, one as-pect of CDP that needs to be stressed here is its‘dynamism’. Even if this plan is medium term, itmust be realized that this plan will be needed to bereturned to, at periodical intervals, not only to as-sess the level of its implementation and its effecton the measurable key parameters but also tomodify it as per the changes in internal and exter-nal environments, including financial, legal as wellas natural environments.

Reforms

Representatives of the citizens, office-bearersamong them, administration and citizens as a wholehave recognized the need for time bound reformsfor the sustainable development of the city. Someof the reforms which need increase or rationaliza-tion of the taxes or the charges for different ser-vices have also found favor with these stake hold-ers. Even though JNNURM mandates some re-forms, city government has anyway decided to em-brace these reforms due to felt need rather thandue to directives.Vide resolution dated 20-01-2006, and bearingnumber 156 / 02, city government has decided toimplement all the reforms mandated by the centralgovernment in a time bound manner, as delineatedbelow:

1. Adoption of modern accrual based double entry system of accounting:

a.Time limit: Corporation intends to implementdouble entry system in financial year, 2006-07.

b.Current Stage: Under process for tenderingfor making of ‘assets’ and ‘liabilities’ registers, andvaluation of each oh these entries. Also under pro-cess is the tender for ERP implementation with em-phasis on double entry accounting system. It is ex-

Pg 11Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

pected that a trial run, when both single entry anddouble entry systems will run parallel for a year,should start from January, 2007.

2. Introduction of a system of e-governance using IT applications, such asGIS and MIS for various services:

a.Time Limit: Corporation intends to implementfull ERP system in next two financial years i.e. 2006-07 and 2007-08.

b.Current stage: Under tender process for ERPimplementation. Tender forms have been dis-cussed, presentations of different ERP productcompanies like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft repre-sentatives over, and are in final stages for publica-tion of the tender.

3. Reform of Property Tax with GIS:

a.Time Limit: Linking of GIS with property tax tobe done in next financial year, i.e. 2006-07.

b.Current Stage: Full survey of properties in thecorporation area complete which led to jumping ofproperties no from 90000 to 143000. Computer-ization of basic data complete. Notices on for final-ization of the property tax. Basic layer of propertiesas per satellite data from MRSAC ready. Proposalfor linking the two under consideration.

4. Levy of reasonable user charges withthe objective that the full cost of O&M orrecurring cost is collected within nextseven years:

a.Time limit: Seven years.

b.Current stage: Corporation subsidizes watersupply and drainage services to the tune of almost50% through other taxations. New water supplyproject for augmentation of water source and par-allel water supply line will have charges to be lev-ied related to the O&M cost. Capital expenditure of

that will however come from the other taxations.Municipal Transport service launched by the cor-poration is without any subsidy and through BOTroute it has ensured that not only are the rates oftickets very affordable to everyone, it earns a loy-alty of about 40 lakhs a year.

5. Internal earmarking in the budget forbasic services to the urban poor:

a.Time limit: Next financial year i.e. 2006-07.

b.Current stage: Currently some budget heads arespecifically for the urban poor especially those re-siding in slums. Schemes of central governmentfor urban poor like SJSRY etc. are implemented inletter and spirit. Corporation’s internal schemes likefree uniforms, books to all etc. are targeted towardsurban poor who take education in corporation’s pri-mary schools. All internal health schemes have ser-vice prices very affordable. However more specificinternal earmarking will be done in the budget fromnext financial year.

6. Provision of basic services to the urbanpoor including security of tenure at af-fordable prices, improved housing, wa-ter supply and sanitation. Delivery ofother existing universal services of thegovernment for education, health andsocial security is ensured:

a.Time limit: Seven years.

b.Current Stage: Security of tenure is a state sub-ject, but a massive drive has been taken to regu-larize unauthorized structures owned by urban poorwho could not afford housing otherwise, underGunthewari Act, so that each one of them has ac-cess to basic services like roads, water and sani-tation. Out of expected 40000 households like this,20000 have already been survey and notices toabout 6000 have already been issued, in responseto which about 2000 have applied for the regular-

ization. It is expected that this procedure will leadto regularization of at least 20000 households outof expected households in next six months. Oncethis goal is realized, corporation can give these poorall the services which is otherwise not possible le-gally. Education, health and other universal servicesare targeted more for urban poor, but will now bespecifically and focused targeted. Though socialsecurity is not guaranteed but corporation hasimplemented a novel scheme under which all thecitizens who pay property tax regularly are ensuredby the corporation for 25000 accidental benefits.No other social security is implemented.

Other than these mandatory reforms,following optional reforms are being takenup the corporation:

Revision of bye lawsFor building construction etc. Administration hasundertaken serious measures to streamline theprocess of grant of building permission etc. Ad-ministration has officially moved from the sys-tem of ‘betterment charges’ to ‘self develop-ment’; also system of approval of estimates hasbeen simplified by giving model estimates; eventax incentives for builders going for ‘group hous-ing schemes’ has been approved by GeneralBody of corporation.

Housing Project For EWS / LIG

Earmarking of at least 20-25% of developedland in all housing projects for EWS/LIG cat-egory with a system of cross subsidization. Thisreform will require change in the act and therules. This may be taken up under guidance ofstate government.

Rain Water Harvesting

Revision of byelaws to make rain water harvesting mandatory in all buildings and adoptionsof water conservation measures. This reformhas already been implemented with rain water

harvesting compulsory.

Reuse of Recycled Water

Proposal for tax incentive for reuse of recycledwater is under consideration.

Administrative reforms:

Corporation has its administrative expenditure un-

der 40% of its budget. However, while taking over

CIDCO area in corporation limits, corporation in-

tends to increase its staff by bare minimum and

reduce this percentage below 30%. Again when

corporation started its municipal transport system,

it did by BOT route and did not add even a single

person on its establishment while running a fleet

of 150 buses finally. Corporation also intends to

outsource most of its activities to reduce admin-

istrative expenditure.

Structural Reforms

Corporation will take up structural reforms inphases.

Encouraging Public Private Partnership

Corporation has started municipal transport with

PPP. About 14 projects have been given admin-

istrative approval for BOT implementation. Even

in Gunthewari regularization project, help of 7

agencies have been taken in a novel and com-

prehensive way that precludes need of individual

citizen to come to corporation and which en-

sures that a massive project of its dimensions,

regularizing 40000 houses, can be completed

in 6 months rather than 2 to 3 years. Corpora-

tion intends to explore all the fields in which

better services can be offered at lower cost,

without increasing its expenditure by going viaPPP route. Experience of corporation in thisregard has been encouraging.

1. Historical Background

Aurangabad is the headquarters of Aurangabaddistrict and also the divisional head quarters of theAurangabad Region. It is an ancient and historicalcity of the Marathwada Region.There was a village named Kirki (Khadki) wherethe city stands today. According to some histori-ans, the city was founded in 1610 by Malik Ambar.Malik Ambar was the Prime Minister of MurtazaNizam Shah II of Ahmednagar, the then ruler ofthe Deccan (central parts of Southern India). It iswidely believed that city took shape between 1604and 1610 under Malik Ambar’s rule. Initially, it wasnamed Fatehabad (city of Victory), probably afterMalik’s son Fateh Khan. A mint was built in the city.In 1634, Aurangzeb was sent to Kirki, and namedas Governor of Deccan. In 1644, He moved to Agrato play an active role in Mughal politics. In 1681,the city again became the residence of Aurangzeb,who had now become Mughal Emperor. He usedthe city as base for his campaigns to conquer thelast remaining Deccan sultanates. He lived thereuntil his death in 1707. The modern name of thecity was probably taken after his death. Aurangzeb’stomb is situated at Khultabad, a small town near

the city.There are no direct references to the present daycity in the ancient history. However the region onthe north of the Godavari, now included in theAurangabad district, was known by the name ofMulaka. This country together with its capitalPratishthana (modern Paithan) is mentioned in thePali literature. Pratishthana later became the capi-tal of the Satavahanas. The Yadava rulers had theircapital at Devgiri (present day Daulatabad) nearAurangabad. This city was famous for its 52 gates,its fortress walls and its Rajwada known by thename of Subhedari. Malik Amber had designed awater supply system for the city through a canalthat still exists. The city has world famous ‘Bibi kaMakbara’ (a replica of TajMahal ) , Panchakki (asystem of water supply that also run a Chakki togrind), Saneri (golden) Palace and very old Bud-dhist caves along with Navkhanda Palace, Kileark,Gulshan Palace etc. It also has Jama Masjid, KaliMasjid, Shahganj Masjid etc. Around Aurangabadare Daulatabad which has Devgiri Fort, Paithan andworld heritage sites of Ajantha and Ellora. This richhistory has put Aurangabad’s name on the touristmap of the world with prominence.It was a part of Hyderabad State and was ruled byNizam in British period. Aurangabad was head-quarter of the Subha (region) comprising of fivedistricts known as Marathwada in Nizam period. Itbecame a part of Indian in 1949. Aurangabadformed part of the Hyderabad State until 1956 af-ter which it was transferred to the Bombay State.In 1960 when Maharashtra State was formed itbecame an integral part of the state and the divi-sional headquarter of the Aurangabad Region., oneof the six divisional head quarters. The importance of the city increased with passageof time. City became an educational centre forbackward Marathwada region after establishmentof Marathwada University in 1958, which later re-named as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar University.During 1971-81 decade High Court was established

in Aurangabad. Thereafter city has commandedmore and more area under its influence. Large ef-forts were taken by state to promote Industrializa-tion from 1961. As a result of which MIDC Estateof Chikalthana was established in 1961-1971. Cityhas two industrial estates within Municipal Corpo-ration area and third large industrial estate WalujMIDC Area, 7 Km away from City in AurangabadUrban Agglomeration. Another Industrial Estate isup coming at Shendra MIDC Area, few Km awayfrom Aurangabad. These Industrial areas playedan important role in development of the Aurangabadcity.Beside these industries, tourism is a major eco-nomic activity of the city as places of significanthistorical importance like great fort of Daulatabad,Grave of Aurangzeb; caves of Ajanata and Elloraare located within few Km from the city. Monumentslike Bibi Ka Maqbara, replica of Taj Mahal of Agra,Panchakki and caves of Sonehri Mahal are situ-ated inside the city. So city is also developing as atourist centre.

2. Regional setting, linkages and accessibility

Aurangabad city is a head quarter of district andMarathwada region and is situated at the bank ofthe river Kham, a tributary of Godavari. City is situ-ated at the latitude of 19053’50" north and longi-tude of 75022’46" east. Aurangabad sits in a stra-tegic position on the Decaan Plateau. The city issurrounded by hills of the Vindhya Ranges and theRiver Kham passes through it. The city stands inthe Dudhana valley between Lakenvara range onthe north and Satara hills on the south. The valleyhas a general breadth of about 10 miles is opentowards the east, but on the west, the northernrange deflects and curves in towards the city send-ing a spur close upon its suburbs. Along the centreit deepens. Thus city occupies very uneven ground.Aurangabad is well connected with Mumbai, thestate capital, Delhi, the national capital and otherimportant places by air, rail and road. The city islocated on Hyderabad-Manmad-Mumbai railwayline. Mumbai to Aurangabad distance is 233 milesby railway. Conversion of meter gauge into broadgauge brings well links with the major cities inIndia.

Physical Growth of the City:

Aurangabad, as mentioned earlier was originally asmall town called Khirki, later on the walled citycame up which was 5.35 Ha. in area. Then thecantonment area was established towards the endof 19th century, which was developed on the west-ern bank of the south-west walled city. Till the be-ginning of this century the development of the citywas limited within the walled city, Begampura and

Cantonment. As population started growing areaoutside the walled city started developing. The de-velopment was not possible on the northern partof the city due to the hilly land, which acts as amajor physical constraint. Hence city started de-veloping towards south and areas like Usmanpura,Padmpura, Kranti Chowk etc started developing.CIDCO was established during 1972 as a specialplanning authority and New Aurangabad Townshipwas developed towards east side of the city during1971-81. Eastern and north-eastern areas likeChikalthana and Harsool near city started devel-

of the population is engaged in the tertiary sector.Though the total number of workers in the tertiarysector has increased in the last decade the sharetertiary sector in employment generation has de-creased from 54% to 49 %.

The total workers in the last decade have increasedby 200 %. The main workers have increased by 57% whereas marginal workers have grown at veryhigh rate and their number has increased by 8000times.

10. Urban Basic Services in Slums

The AMC has provided basic urban services suchas water supply, sanitation, solid waste collectionand internal roads in most of the slum colonies.

Water supply – 10 slums are not provided withwater supply. In the rest of the localities there are330 public stand posts for providing water. Duringperiods of shortage water is also supplied usingtankers.

Solid waste management – There is no organizedfacility for solid waste collection in almost all slums.The waste is dumped in the community bins and inmany cases there are unauthorized dumps fromwhere the council collects the waste for disposal.

Sewerage and Sanitation – 10 slum colonies donot have proper toilet facilities, in most other slumsthey either have individual private toilets or the AMChas constructed community toilets.

There 8 slum colonies which do not have properinternal roads, where as the balance settlementshave paved roads and the total length is 12.66 km.

The entire slum population of 1,24,588 (1991 cen-sus) is served by 98 common toilets. There are1174 seats, of which, 627 are for gents and 547 forladies. Moreover, these are not maintained and theirquality has deteriorated. There are 4 pay and usetoilets, maintained as Sulabh Sauchalayas but nourinals. Almost all the small settlements are pro-vided with open drain gutters.

Access to all the slums is provided in the form oftar roads, WBM roads and pathways. About 90percent of the slums have tar roads (apx.12 m wide)for main access covering a length of 4.81 kms,while 80 percent of the settlements have WBMroads (9 m wide) of length 9.18 kms. About 60 per-cent of the slums have 5 m wide pathway accessand their total length is 5.07 kms.

It is seen that access is not a major problems inthe slums, but lack of basic sanitation and surfacewater disposal is a matter of concern.

b. VAMBAY (Valmiki Ambedkar Malin Basti Aawas Yojana)VAMBAY is a centrally sponsored scheme aimingat shelter delivery to the poor. The main objectiveof the scheme is to provide or upgrade shelter forthe people living below poverty line in urban slums.The ministry of urban development and povertyalleviation provides guidelines for the implementa-tion of VAMBAY. The target group for VAMBAY isall the slum dwellers in urban areas that are belowpoverty line or E.W.S. without adequate shelter. Inthis scheme the state government contributes 50%of the cost of the tenement and 40 % is given bycentral government. The beneficiary needs to con-

tribute 10%. In Maharahstra MHADA is the nodalagency for constructing the houses under theVAMBAY.Under the VAMBY scheme a total of 85 slum settle-ments have been identified for rehabilitation in threephases. Construction of tenements under thephase I with 125 beneficiaries is completed. A listof 2085 beneficiaries in Phase II has been approvedby MHADA and identification of beneficiaries inPhase III is under progress. A proposal for con-structing 2151 tenements is being prepared.Key Issues1 Absence of appropriate and adequate informa-tion on slums and levels of services in slums2 Infrastructure and service requirements of slumsare inadequate; most slums seem to be depen-dent on ground water for their daily needs.3 Very few voluntary community-based organiza-tions working in the slum areas; Most of the slumsare on encroached land, and land tenure is a ma-jor problem, as a result of which slum dwellers donot invest adequately in housing, fearing eviction.

1. Water supply

Water Planning

Presently the Aurangabad Municipal Corporationis supplying water @ about 100 liters per capitaper day. It is essential to supply 150 liters per capitaper day. For this it is essential to improve waterdistribution system taking into account the popula-tion of city during 2025 A.D. The existing watersupply system is highly insufficient and cannot bearthe burden of increasing population. Therefore theAurangabad Municipal Corporation has startedplanning a new water supply project.

There has been rapid progress in the development ofthe city during last three decades. Similarly some prob-lem cropped up. One of such problems is drinking wa-ter and its use for different purposes.It is expected thatthere should be a clear concept of Aurangabad Vision2025. Water is life. It has been tried to paint a picture inthis note about increase in population and industrializa-tion and water supply system for the same by givingintegrated though to it.

Some time back through a concept of “AurangabadCity Vision- 2021” the Chief Minister of MaharashtraState has formed a committee under the chairman-ship of divisional commissioner to prepare a planfor 2021 with respect to drinking water, electrifica-tion, drainage, road etc. The committee comprisedof experts like shri Madhav Chitale, Prof.Morwanchikar,Dr.Warade,Chief Engineer ofMaharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran ShriDumkondwar,retired Chief Engineer Shri Narsapuretc. The committee held several meetings and dis-cussed following issues.

Nandur Madhmeshwar & Tembapur Dam etc. maybe considered as an alternative to Jayakwadi Dam.However, an on spot study of these Dams revealedthat they cannot be treated as alternative to watersupply source of Jayakwadi Dam.

The Committee suggested good maintenance ofNahar-e-Ambari & Nahare-e-Malik Ambar whichare not only serving as important source of waterto the city but they also city’s cultural heritage. Thisnahar supplies 2 MLD water per day for 7 to 8months in a year. Therefore a package treatmentplant of 2 MLD capacity should be prepared forwhich an amount of Rs.30 Lakh would be required.A special provision should be made for this pur-pose in the annual budget.

There are in all 588 well in the different parts of thecity. These wells require strengthening. It was dis-cussed water of these wells should be used forgardening and other purpose.

The Committee also received suggestions fromexperts that in future Jayakwadi Dam should beused as main source of drinking water to the city.Therefore planning should done keeping in viewthe need of water in the year 2031by lay a parallelwater supply line. This parallel project should in-clude pumping machinery, filternation plant andother components in the first phase 2021. Accord-ingly a line estimate has been prepared and actionhas been proposed on point no.1,2 & 7 of report.About point no.9 the Aurangabad Municipal Cor-poration has launched a compaign for regulariza-tion of unauthorised water connection under thename of “Abhay Yojana”. This scheme will beimplemented in future also. The Aurangabad Mu-nicipal Corporation has starated water every auditin the year 2004-05 and this is going to give ac-count of quantity of lift and use of water.

Requirement of Water

There are several elements in water supply. Inwater supply system following basis componentsare involved:l Drinking waterl Livestockl Water for industriesl Gardens & Forestsl Constructionl Water for amusement

At the same thoughts have also been given to vari-ous problems. It was also necessary to think ofdrainage system in urban water use. There is dif-ference between water draining out from drinkingwater use and the water draining out from indus-trial use of water. And there fore there are differentmethods of treatment of these waters.

Requirements of Drinking WaterThe following statement the progress in city popu-lation during last three decades and also expectedincrease in it in future decades

The expected population of the city in the next25years is 2 more than 20 lakh. As to the planning ofwater supply scheme it is a criteria than the palnningshould be for next 15 years period. It is necessaryto do planning of 2031 in the year 2001. In thisproject the main pipe lines should be designed tak-ing into account the needs of 2031 and other equip-ment as per needs of 2021 as a phase I project.Accordingly the city would need following quantityof water for 2021 x 2031.

l City population (2021) - 20,00,000

l Daily need in 2021 - 295 MLD

l City population (2031) - 25,00,000

l Daily need in 2031 - 375 MLD

l Quantity available today - 75 MLD

Water requirement for live stock :

Some villages have been included in municipal lim-

its of AMC. These villages have a sizeable number

of livestock such as cows, bulls, buffalos, pigs,

hens, goats etc. Even pet dogs are also there. All

these Livestock require water. A quantity of 5 litres

per capita is added in drinking water, but facts are

otherwise. Buffalos and cows require 80 litre water

per capita. The correct number of livestock is not

available. The Irrigation commission has fixed the

quantity of water required for animals. Consider-

ing this criteria, the city is short of one MLD water.

The city would require one more annually in 2021.

Water requirement for Industries :

As per 1996 figures 5.2 % of total population ofMaharashtra state was engagaed in Industries. If

Water Requirement for Construction :

The City is noticing increase in construction activi-ties in the fields of roads, bridges, houses, colleges,hospitals, schools and housing projects. A quantityof 20% of drinking water is used for these construc-tion activities. It means generally 21 MLD water isused for civil works from different sources.

Requirement of water in 2021 :A) Drinking water - 110.0 MLDB) Livestock - 001.0 MLDC) Industies - 005.5 MLDD) Parks & Gardens- 002.0 MLDE) Civil works - 021.0 MLD

Total - 139.5 MLD

i.e. - 140.0 MLD

Thus out of above 110 MLD will be required fordrinking purpose and 30 MLD for other purposes.110 MLD can be derived from main source andremaining quantity of 30 MLD from other sourcesviz. wells, borewells and other old existing &sources.

As such the city would require 110 MLD of waterper year. A report is given below about the existingsources and planning for additional and alternatesources of water. It is specifically mentioned herethat a planning is essential for existing parks &Gardens. By strengthening th existing sources otherthan main source i.e. wells, borewells etc. includ-ing water which will be available through efluentplant we may get water for this purpose. Thus tak-ing into account this quantity the requirement ofwater in the year 2021 will be 100 MLD. For this aparallel scheme should be prepared. For thisscheme and for inprovement is existing water sup-ply scheme, provisin of funds will have to be made.

Alternative Sources :

As far as main source of water supply is concernedthe Jayakwadi Dam is under consideration. As analternative source, the Nandur Madhmeshwar Damand Tembapuri Dam (as a support source) are alsounder consideration. The Nandur MadhmeshwarDam is constucted on Godavari River as a pick upware. It is located in Vinchor Taluka of Nashik dis-

trict. It is located at a distance of 185 Km fromAurangabad. Its level is 530 m and capacity is 7.00DLM (220 DLM). This Dam is dependent of otherDams such as Darna, Bham, Mukne x BhavliDams. the lifting capacity form this Dam is less by74 m. However, as compared to Jayakwadi source(45 Km distance from others) and NandurMadhmeshwar source (185 Km. away from city)have a difference of more than 140 Km.

Threrefore if it is decided to lift water from thissource as per standard of 2.40 m/km the lift is willbe more than 325 m. This can save electricity con-sumption to some extent. However, feasibility ofthe proposal will be to be properly checked. There-fore proper decision will have to be taken whetherNandur Madhmeshwar source is to be used or oth-erwise. For undertaking above works an expendi-ture of Rs.100 crore is expected. Moreover, watercan be lifted through gravity which can result issaving of electricity to some extent.

On the northern side of the city there is anothersource of water viz. Savangi Tank adjoining JalgaonRoad. Possibility of increasing its capacity can beexamined. Presently an intake well is constructedin this tank. This well can be improved for morewater supply.

For these works an amount of Rs.100 crore will berequired.

Jayakwadi Source :

Jayakwadi Dam which is known as “Nath Sagar”was commissioned in the year 1975. It is situatedat a distance of 45 Km from the city. It has got asource of 2909 MLD with dead level of 738 MLD.City can depend on this source for supply of 140MLD in the year 2021. A study shows that since,beginnig the Dam was filled upto 25-30% Capacity

only. The reason for this is that there are 8 to 9dams constructed on Pravara x Godavari rivers onthe areas. Which are located before rivers reachesJayakwadi Dam which stop flow of water uptoJayakwadi Dam. This also results in minimising thewater level in Dam every summer which goes upto455.52 M. During the same season water is re-leased to low lying areas of Jalna, Beed, Parli etc.This also adds to further difficulties. Because ofthese problems Aurangabad city faces difficultiesof water supply during summer. During May 2004the water supply was distupted for city for entire 24hours. To avoid this situation it is necessary thatIrrigation Dept. should not release water after mini-mum water level of 455.52 M. Similarly there is dif-ference between sea level of Dam which is 455.52M and that of city which is 611 SML. This requireslifting of water through pumping which results inexhorbitant billing of electiricity. If electricity ischarged at agriculture rate, this will give some fi-nancial relief to AMC. Efforts are required to bemade or higher level to solve this problem. If boththe above problems are solved then JFayakwadiDam is a reliable source of water supply to the city.

An amount of Rs.100 crore will be required in fu-ture for the improvement of above source.

Additional distributory pipe line for Pundlik Nagar,and Shivaji Nagar have been sanctioned forRs.9.93 crore out of which an amount of Rs.3.20crore has been spent on this work. Works amount-ing to 4.675 Crore are in progress.

Revision of Water Charges :

Presently the water supply scheme of AMC is run-ning into losses. Even effort to run this scheme on“No profit No loss” basis did not succeed. It isthrerefore necessary to increase water charges tominimise the losses. This can be done in phases.The water charges are fixex on the basis of dia of

City Introduction and Assessment D. Utilities and Infrastructure

Page 38: CDP

Pg 38Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

water connection. If meter system is commissionedthese charges would be for actual consumption ofwater and thus theft of water can be avoided.

Rain water Harvesting System :

The ground water level increases due to drainagewater and reharvesting of rain water into ground.This will result in availability of water in borewellsin urban areas. This water can be used for dailyuse for puposes other than drinking water purpose.This will also minimise the burden AMC to someextent. During rainy season the pressure onsewevage treatment plan will also minimise.

It is suggested that while preparing soak pits, bedconcreting should not be done. This will allow wa-ter, to merge in the ground thereby raising theground water level.

For educationg the builders, developers,architechts, plumbers, peoples, representatives,engineers, Govt. and Semi Govt. Employees aTraining workshop should be conducted on thesubject of rain water harvesting system.

Drainage water can be used for gardening etc. af-ter its treatment. This will also ease the distributionof drinking water of AMC.

A proposal has been initiated to make Rain waterharvesting system mandatory while giving com-mencement certificate for constuction and to in-clude it appendix V of development Control Rulesby starting proceedings under section 37 ofMaharashtra regional Town planning act 1966.

Electricity charges for the water system

Seven Electric Pumps of different horse powershave been installed at pumping station for purpose

of lifting water from Jayakwadi Dam source. Theseelectric pumps function 24 hours a day The AMChas to pay an exhorbitant amount of Rs.146 lakhper month to MSEB towards electricity charges sumremedical action can help in redusing thisexhorbitant billing .

Concssion is available if the power factor is keptas 0.96 or more. presentaly The A.M.C is gettingconcssion of Rs.0.60 lakh per month in respect ofsome of the pumps. If the power factor is kept at0.96 more concssion can be obtained .

The existing pumping machinery has become veryold sinceS it was installed in the year 1975. This isalso resulting in more billing. These should be re-placed with new pumping machinery action in thisdirection has been statred.

By installing Solar system at pump station premisesexpanditure on electircty consumption can becurtailed. This will required an amount of Rs.50 lakhfor providing Solar system.

Electricity can be saved by using 80 HPSV lamp isinsted of 125. HPSV lamp . Action is benig takenis this regard.

Charging Agricultural use rate for con-sumption energy by A.M.C

As per existing system the electrictiy connectionshave been done on HTP-ITI basis. AccordinglyMSEB levy charges. The pumping stations are lo-cated in rulel areas. Therefore MSEB authoritieshave been requested to charge at the rate agricul-tural use of energy.If the energy consumption charged at the rate ofagricultural use then the billing amount will comeRs 200 Crores.

Present About 11,00,000Population

The AMC has prepared a water supply scheme forthe needs of populated estimated in 2031. In thisscheme the need of water is taken @ 150 litre percapita. As per criteria in drainage system this isfixed 80% i.e. 120 liter per capita. As such for theyear 2031 the system will have to be prepared for300 MLD and for 2021 this will be for 200 MLD.

Planning of Scheme :

The pipe lines under the water supply system workon the method of pressure whereas under drain-age system the pipes work on the basis of gravity.Therefore it is necessary to take into considerationthe geographical status of the city. A study of re-

port prepared by M/s. Shah Consultants it is re-vealed that city has been divided in two parts con-sidering the land slope, rain water flow, river flow,catchment area, geographical slope etc.

Catchment Area :

Kham River Catchment Area - Zone (A) :

In this Zone A, the old part of city, Municipal limits,additional municipal area including Padegaon,Mitmita, Bahvsinghpura, Garkheda, Shahnoorwadi,Part of Harsul, Kanchanwadi, Nakashatrawadi etc.has been included. This Zone A has further beendivided into seven parts and considering natural

3. Sewerage and sanitation

For disposing off drainage water of the city a pump-ing station has been set up at Banewadi from wherethe drainage water is flown to Oxidation Pond atKanchanwadi. Presently the functioning of both thepumping station and Oxidation Pond is out of order.Efforts are being made to put this system withmamimum capacity so that the Nallah water may beclean and there should be less pollution is the city.

The work of construction of 5.26 MLD S.T.P. inJhalta area for Zone B is in progress. Civil work isnearing completion. Pumps have been supplied forengineering work. After remaining machinery isreceived the work will be completed and the plantwill be commissioned.

Present condition of drainage system :

At present there are two treatment palnts of 5.26and 5.38 capacity. It is necessary to make plan-ning future drainage system taking into account thepollution condition of the city. While doing so it isalso necessary to fix up the boundaries and limitsof the Nallahs flowing through the city limits.

Population Vision

Previously while preparing drainage system the citypopulation estimated in 2001 was taken as 2.00lakh. Similarly the Govt. Engineering College hadsuggested to prepare scheme for 100 MLD cost-ing Rs.700 Crore. However, considering the groundrealities the following picture emerges.

slope, Nallah flow, water flow etc. main sewer lineshave been designed. These lines are as follows :

Main Sewer A : Western part of Bibi Ka Maqbara

Main Sewer B : Part of Kham River flowing throughHimayat Bagh Nallah flowing through.

Main Sewer C : Majnu Hill to Siddharth Garden,Barudgar Nala- Saraswat Bank-Nageshwarwadi.

Main Sewer D : Nallah flowing through Hotel RamaInternational to Samarth Nagar-S.B. Colony-Nageshwarwadi.

Main Sewer E : Forest Office - Kranti chowk-KhamRiver.

Main Sewer F : Nallah flowing through St.FrancisHigh School-Paithan Gate.

Main Sewer K : Kanchanwadi-Nakshatrawadi -Wadagaon cart.

Catchment Area of Sukhna River - Zone (B)

In this Zone B, the areas of Naregaon, Brijwadi,Masnatpur, Chikalthana, MIDC, Mukundwadi,Cidco, Harsul, Jadhavwadi etc. For these areas twomain sewer lines have been designed which areaas follows.

Main Sewer L : Nallah flowing through N-2, Cidco-Sukhna River.

Main Sewer M : Chikalthana Gaothan-ChikalthanaMIDC - Sukhna River.

Survey of Nallahs & Removal of Encroachments

A majority of Nallahs have not been entered intoeither revenue reord of city survey record. There-

fore a survey of all these nallahs has become nec-essary. After survey boundaries and limits of thenallahs will be fixed and encroachments will be re-moved. For this purpose an amount of Rs. OneCrore will be required.

Aurangabad is the capital city of Marathwada Divi-sion and is its Divisional Headquarter’s. The city ishaving historical and archaeological importance.In view of this planning of infrastructure viz: roads,electricity, gardens, schools, hospitals and waterhave been done. In fact underground drainagesystem is also as important as water supply water.But unfortunately this has been neglected. It wasnecessary to consider underground drainage sys-tem at per with water supply system. As on today120 MLD drainage water is disposed off throughincomplete drainage pipe lines and on the mercyof natural flow of river & nallahs. This water is usedfor agriculture without any treatment. Which is re-sulting in harm to agril. land and underground wa-ter is also being polluted. Due to this it has alsobecome difficult to use borewell waters. This isalso adverserly affecting implementation of Envi-ronment Report.

In the year 1972 a drainage system was preparedby the erstwhile municipal council for the use ofpopulation of 2 lakhs expected in 2001. It was ascheme of 15 MLD capacity.

The estimated figures of city population haveproved completely wrong due to 4-5 times increasein population. Accordingly all schemes have beenproved to insufficient.

Recently a join survey was conducted alongwithofficers of Govt. Engineering College. The collegevide letter no.ENV/2002/12 has submitted its re-port. This is a very preliminary report and does notthrough any light on the details of the project.Therefore it is necessary to prepare an exhaustivereport on this subject. The govt. Engg. College

City Introduction and Assessment D. Utilities and Infrastructure

Page 44: CDP

Pg 44Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

has also suggested to prepare the scheme forRs.170 Crore. However, this will need funds andat the same time there is urgency to prepare thisscheme other there is apprehension that environ-ment and health of the city will collapse.

The work of de-silting the nallahs, channelising andconstruction of security walls will cost an amountof Rs.125 crore.

Measures for managements of Nallahs,Drainage Lines etc.

Crores of rupees are required for de-silting of ex-isting Nallahs. After the funds are made availablea comprehensive planning can be done. Howeverit is fact that flow of drainage water through opennallahs makes the environment of the city polluted.Proper timely action in respect of drainage systemwill help in controlling the flow of drainage water &the condition of environment will also improve.There are encroachments on several nallahs flow-ing through the city. Therefore it is the need of thetime to conduct survey of all the nallahs, to removethe encroachments and to fix up boundaries as perdevelopment plan by initiating action under sec-tion 37 of Maharashtra Regional Town Planning ofAct 1966. Therefore action is being proposed toconduct a total station survey for which an amountof Rs.10 crore is expected.

Construction of Sulabh Shruchalayas

It is necessary to constructed sulabh shouchalayasat thickly populated areas and at govt. offices. TheAurangabad Municipal Corporation has alreadyconstructed sulabh shouchalayas near SiddharthGarden (Central Bus Stand) and centrally locatedAurangpura. More shouchalayas will be con-structed on BOT basis or by its own funds byAurangabad Municipal Corporation.

E. Environmental Profile

Environmental resources namely constitute air,water, land (soil) and vegetation. This section givesan outline of these resources of the city which arebeing used or likely to be used to support the ur-ban life. The resources include both the living aswell as non-living things. The interface of theseresources with the developmental activities andissues arising out of the same are also describedin this section.

1.Climate

a.Topography

Aurangabad city is surrounded by the hilly rangesfrom north, south and west sides at the attitude of611 Mt. above mean sea level. Northern side Mu-nicipal limits are flanked by Jathwada hill rangesand on south locally named Satara hills are located.General topography of the city is undulating. Atti-tude of the city increases towards north side.

b. Geology and Soil Condition

Aurangabad falls in semi-arid area with indicatingtopography, poor soil, and low productive of land.The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks andis black, medium black, shallow and calcarioustypes having different depths and profiles.

c.Seasons :

The climate is characterized by hot summer andgeneral dryness throughout the year except dur-ing southwest monsoon season. The year may bedivided into four seasons. The cold season is fromDecember to February and hot season from Marchto May. June to September is southwest monsoonperiod whereas October to November is post mon-soon period.

The predominant wind direc-tion during monsoon and summer is from the west,during winter it is from the east. If the whole year isconsidered the predominant wind direction is fromthe west.

3. Influence of Activity Sectors on AirThe activities in the city which are most likely tohave adverse impact on the air quality are the in-dustrial development and the vehicular traffic.

Industrial activityThe industrial activities in Aurangabad consistmainly of dal mills, foundries, sugar industry andoil extraction units. Out of this oil extraction unitsand sugar industries are likely to have maximumadverse impact from the fumes and dust if ad-equate abatement measures are not taken. Thedal mills and seed production units are classifiedas green industries and do not have major impactsexcept dust and fine particles given out while pol-ishing the pulses in the dal mills.There are a few cotton ginning and pressing millsin and around the city, the cotton fluff given out fromthese mills remains in the air and is carried all overthe city.The various activities such as husking, cleaning,crushing, and conditioning of oil seeds in extrac-tion units affect the air quality due to generation ofdust. The emissions from the fuels used for me-chanical oil expellers, pressing units and otherequipments add to the air pollution. Other signifi-cant impact includes the odour nuisance from theextraction units.

City Introduction and Assessment E. Environmental Profile

Page 60: CDP

Pg 60Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

Traffic and transportThe city has a high concentration of 2 wheelersand 3 wheelers and 4wheelers. The city does nothave a public transport system and is dependenton auto rickshaws for the same. Most of the rick-shaws are old and run on diesel adding to the airpollution. The town also attracts heavy goods traf-fic whose diesel engines are responsible for car-bon particles emission. The roads and streets inthe city are narrow and encroached hence the traf-fic is not free flowing, the continuous changing ofgear and idling of engines affects the air quality.The climate of the city is dry and arid hence asvehicles pass on the roads lot of dust is generatedand there is very little vegetation along the road toabsorb the dust.

Construction activityConstruction activity gives of lot of dust while mix-ing the cement concrete, breaking of old structures,digging, drilling etc. The operation of diesel mixersfor concrete also pollutes the air. Construction ac-tivity also adds to the noise pollution. The debrisand construction material when left un attendedalong the road causes inconvenience to motoristsas well as pedestrians and increases the possibil-ity of road accidents.The bricks kilns, stone quarries, stone crushers andsoil quarries adversely the affect the environment.The key impacts include air pollution (increasedlevels of SPM & RSPM), land degradation, loss offorest/ vegetation, noise pollution and surface &

ground water pollution. Abandoned stone quar-ries need to be rehabilitated and rejuvenated sothat they prevented from being misused as unau-thorized dumping grounds.

Informal sectorThe only activity impacting air is the weekly hidemarket that gives out strong odour. The other ac-tivities such as petty shops, pan stalls, small ga-rages do not have a wide scale impact on the airquality. In most cases the air pollution caused islocalized and the mixed land use of the city withresidential areas close by affects the health of thepeople. In many cases the workshops are exten-sion of the owner’s house and they themselves areignorant about the dangers of the pollution.

Air quality monitoringThe above facts are strengthened in some aspectsfrom the past air quality data available with theAurangabad Municipal Council. The air qualityshows very high levels of SPM near Cenral BusStand and Railway Station which are busy trafficjunctions. SPM levels are also high in the areas ofTown Hall, Jalna Road and City Chowk comparedto the permissible standards. The SPM levels inthe MIDC Chikhalthana area are low compared tothe permissible standards. The sulphur dioxide andnitrogen dioxide levels are within the permissiblelimits in The main reason for high SPM levels isthe increasing vehicular traffic and absence ofgreenery along the roads to absorb the particles.

4 Topography and natural drainage

Aurangabad is situated on an altitude of 663 mabove mean sea level. It has developed on the highlevel plateau which runs along the Nanded- Barshiand Ausa Road. The surrounding area is some whatlow level having good agriculture productivity. TheManjar River flows through the City and it is alsodrained by other nalas (streams).

5 Geology

This entire Aurangabad district is covered by theDeccan Trap lava flows of upper cretaceous toeocene age.  The traps are overlain by thin alluvialdeposits along the major rivers. The basaltic lavaflows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only majorgeological formation occurring in the district.  Thelava flows are horizontal and each flow has distincttwo units.  The upper layers consist of vesicularand amygdular zeolitic basalt while the bottom layerconsists of massive basalt.  The flow thicknessranges between 15-20 mts. And in all 10 flows havebeen demarcated which are lying between 510-740

m msl.  The flows are generally separated by a redclay bed commonly called as ‘Red bole’.

The thickness of alluvium ranges between 10-15mtrs.  The extension of alluvial belt is confined to0.5-1 km. across the rivers.

A number of lineaments which are fracture zoneshave been identified on the satellite imagery dueto linear pattern, exhibited by darker tone andstraight drainage course.

These lineaments are favourable for occurrenceof groundwater. The major lineament trends in thedistrict are NW-SE, NE-SW and E-W.

6 Soil Characteristics and Land use

The predominant soil cover in the district is me-dium black to deep black calcareous formed withvarying depth and texture. The soil in Aurangabadhas coarse texture and is suitable for growing cropssuch as Jawar, Bajra, Wheat, Pulses and Sugar-cane. The land use classification according to theDP is given below in Table 2 below.

7 Influence of Activity Sectors

The land use in the Aurangabad City shows thatmaximum area is under residential use as far asthe developed area is concerned. The next majorcategory is the industrial land use. Most of the in-dustries in the city are located in the MIDC Estateon the Aurangabad – Barshi Road to the south ofthe city. A significant portion of the city is undevel-oped and is under agricultural use. This forms about37 % of the total area of the city. The area for openspaces and recreation is very less and is 0.67 % ofthe developed area.

The unauthorized disposal of industrial waste andmunicipal solid waste affects the soil quality therebymaking it vulnerable for putting to effective publicuse in future.

The brick kilns and stone quarries in the surround-ing areas adversely affect the soil quality and land-form in the near vicinity.

8 Surface water

The Manjra River flows through Aurangabad city.The length of the rivers within the municipal limitsis 00 km and 00 km respectively. There is no docu-mented evidence of fishing activity in the river.

There is a fresh water lake opposite the MunicipalOffice in Aurangabad. Add on use of water

Amongst the industries in Aurangabad the wastefrom the oil extraction units is most likely to affectthe surface water quality. The waste water containshigh organic content and chemicals used duringthe extraction and refining of the oil. The waste

water is also likely to contain fat residues, ash resi-dues and organic nitrogen. The city does not havean underground drainage system and generally allthe waste water flows in to the Manjra River througha network of open drains. The industrial waste wa-ter will also find its way to the Manjra River andadversely affect its water quality.

Informal sector

The precise contribution of this sector in water pol-lution is difficult to determine. However the natureof activities is not likely to cause major water pollu-tion, except in cases of garages and small work-shops where the waste water contains lubricantsand chemicals. The magnitude of this is small.

Housing and urbanization

As described in the Chapter 5 the City does nothave an under ground drainage system and thesewage generated to the tune of 4.2 MLD is letinto the Manjra River and other open drains with-out any treatment. Open drains passing throughthe city carrying waste water present an ugly sightand pose health hazard for the people. The ab-sence of toilet facilities in slum areas forces thepeople to defecate in the open, they generally squatalong the river or along the road side drains add-ing to the surface water pollution.Waste water recycling and rain water harvestingare not practiced in the city and there are no meansof water auditing in the water supply system.

10 Ground water

The major part of the district forms the moderatelydissected basaltic plateau, which has moderate togood groundwater potential. The northern partforms the highly dissected basaltic plateau; thegroundwater potential is expected to be poor. Goodpotential pockets for groundwater exploitation are

expected along the lineaments. The narrow allu-vial deposits along the major river also form poten-tial zones for groundwater exploitation. Jalna cityfalls in the central portion of the district and hencehas good ground water potential. Add details ofGSDA.

11 Influence of Activity Sectors on Ground water

Industrial activity

The waste water generated from the different in-dustries gets absorbed in the ground water when itis disposed without treatment into the open drainsand even in cases where it is disposed off in aban-

doned wells and pits the ground water gets con-taminated when these pits are not lined properly.

Housing and urbanization

The ground water in Aurangabad district is knownfor its high nitrate content and the Central PollutionControl Board has declared it as one of the criticalareas in the country. However its impact for thecity as such is not known.

Water Quality Monitoring

The water quality monitored by the Municipal coun-cil shows that surface water quality is very poorwhere as the drinking water quality is fairly good.

12 Forest and vegetationThere are no forest areas in the city of Aurangabad.The gardens and play grounds have some vegeta-tion in the form trees and shrubs. Roadside planta-tion is absent along most of the internal roads, it isseen on the roads in the outskirts and consists oftrees such as gulmohur, copper pod, Bhendi etc. Thevegetation along the river needs to be studied topresent a detailed account of the riverside habitat.The absence of vegetation along roads adds to theproblem of dust flying due to vehicular movementon the roads. The MIDC has certain amount of treeswhich helps in arresting the pollution.

13 WildlifeThere is no significant wildlife in the city such asrare and endangered species of fauna. Howeverall the activity sectors if continued in an unplannedan unorganized manner may adversely affect thelocal flora and fauna in the long run.

14 Noise levelsThe noise levels in the town were monitored at 10locations spread across the town. The noise levelsare particularly high in residential zone and the com-mercial areas.

16. What AMC is doing ?

As per provisions of section 67 of Bombay provin-cial Municipal Corporation Act 1949 it is manda-tory for AMC to publish annual Environmental re-port of the city Accordingly the AMC publishes suchreport every year. Environment comprises of air,

water, land all living dead animals. Biological andnon-biological elements are two main element en-vironment of a place depends upon condition ofadjacent areas of that place. Apart from urbaniza-tion and industrialization population is the main el-ement for environment increasing urbanization,increase in population to improve economic condi-tion cutting of trees, in crease in number of slums,increase in solid waste and bio-medical waste,drainage system public toilets, increase in vehicles,traffic accidents, air and sound pollution etc aresome of the several problems improvement in en-

vironment means improvement in public health,providing facilities improving living stand and pro-viding civic amenities, control over pollution andincreasing population good etc. There is alterna-tive except environmental condition for a better liv-ing for living beings.

The AMC is conducting periodical tests to checkair sound and water pollution level in different partsof the city with different timings. As per air pollu-tion tests conducted by AMC the level of air pollu-tion is below the standard set forth by the centralPollution Control Board. The drainage water andthe effluent of industries are allowed directly to flowthrough river or nearest nallahs. This adverselyaffects the health condition of resident living in thevicinity. This also affects the fertility of agricultureland. Similarly a sound with 100 decibels causesdumbness. This also affects the working efficiencyof man power. There is every possibility of follow-ing deficiencies.

1.Exhaustion, boredom2.Temporary dumbness3.Permanent dumbness4.Mental depression5.Effects on efficiency

1.Tree plantation and its preservation2.Developmental works of Gardens3.Zoological parkThe environment report is required to be publishedannually as per section 67 of BPMC Act 1949 for

which an amount of Rs.5 Lakh is spent As such fornext 25 years an amount of Rs.1.25 Crore will beregaired for this work.

Tree plantation, Preservation andDevelopment of Gardens

There are reservations for gardens, parks and openspaces etc in the development plan of the city.Details of there reservations are mentioned in state-ment No.1 Apart from these there are open spacesin sanctioned lay out and also there are some Mu-nicipal open lands. All these lands are proposedto be developed by doing tree plantation its preser-vation and by developing gardens and parks. Simi-larly tree plantation is done on Govt. lands hillocksetc.Following works are proposed in these develop-mental works.

1.Botanical park2.Zoological park3.Small gardens4.Medium gardens5.Big gardens6.Green belts7.Play grounds8.Medicinal Plant garden

In addition to existing gardens some 200 small-biggardens will have to be developed in next 25 yearsCIDCO area is also going to be transferred to AMC.Similarly there are large area of Municipal lands atoxidation pond Kanchavwadi where Ayurvedic gar-den con be developed gat No.9 of Nakshatrawadi,Gat Nos.214&215 adjacent to Harsul tank and alsoGat No.235&236 As also land near AurangabadCaves in S.No.237 Slaughter House premises inpadeguon, S.No.31 of Bhavsinghpura,S.No.306&307 of mitmita premises of oxidationpond at kanchanwadi, S.No.17 of Pahadsinghpuraand hanuman tekdi premises are such placeswhere tree plantation and its preservation is nec-

essary.Similarly to remind our history, ancient treasure andmonuments, such models can be developed. Themodels of nahar-e-Ambari and satvahan pillar canbe prepared and installed in such gardens.The beautification of city roads is necessary fortaking up tree plantation and its preservation. Thefollowing roads are included in this programme.This include tree plantation, providing road divid-ers. Traffic islands, developing lawns, electrifica-tion and foot paths.1. Ajanta Naka to Delhi Gate2. Airport to Mukundwadi3. Sharnapur to Mahawir Chowk4. Paithan Naka to Railway Station5. Beed by pass Road6. 50Km long roads in MIDC Chikalthana premises7. 40 Roads pf 40 Km long the city area8. Developing land beneath several fly over bridges9. Tree plantation in kabrastans samsham bhoomi

is open places, schools, Hospitals, Govt. Of-fices Octroi Nakas, College premises etc.

10.Tree plantation at historical places & Memorials etc.

11.Developing 25-50 M. Long strip at outsideboundary of trenching ground.

12.Implementation of “Beautiful clean and greenAurangabad project”

Developments of Tanks, water park lake view pointrope way and beautiful & green Aurangabad project.There are three Tanks/lakes in the city viz. lakenear Delhi gate, Harsul Tank and Kham Gate. Thelake neat Delhi Gate is named after renowned Birdexpert Dr.Salim Ali Boating facility is available. It isnecessary that drainage water of CIDCO area isnot allowed to mix with the clean water of this lake.The water depth can be increased by de-silting thelake. The capacity of water will increase and boat-ing can be done throughout the year which is nowrestricted to certain period of the year. It is pro-posed to develop a jogging track foot paths and todevelop a garden. Amusement items can be pro-

vided in existing garden adjacent to the lake.

In Harsul Tank also Boating is done for a certainperiod to the year. A smruti van has been devel-oped adjacent to tank. However, this requires fur-ther development with play items of children andproper electrification. A small island is existed inthe middle of the Tank. This island can be devel-oped by providing a rope way and can be thrownopen to the public as a picnic centre.

Adjacent to Harsul tank there is smruti van. Thereis lot of space available for garden and water parkboth at one place. The AMC has decided to de-velop a water park on an area of 5 acres on BOTbasis. This will be a new attraction for tourists.

A rope way can be provided upto island in themiddle of the tank similarly there can be anotherrope way between Nipat Niranjan Hillock or GogaBaba Hillock. This possibility is being examinedby the AMC.

Birds from various parts of India and several otherforeign countries migrate to Dr.Salim Ali Lake dur-ing a specific period of the year. Thousands ofbird lovers visit this lake for bird watching as sucha watching point can be developed here. Similarly,earthen dam at Harsul Tank, development of areaof tank, water park near smruti van view points etcadd more attraction and can result is increase innumber of local and foreign tourists.

By developing gardens, tree plantation & its pres-ervation, development of lake and tank premises,green lawns etc. The city will become beautifuland clean. Hoarding having these slogans can alsobe put up at different places of the city.

For all the above works an amount of Rs.32.37Crore is estimated. Also for planting 2 Lakh treesand its preservation a further amount of Rs.10.88Crore is required. Thus a total amount of Rs. 43.15Crore is required for maintaining environmental

1. Statutory Provisions for Plan preparation

The statutory powers regarding Planning were em-bodied under the Bombay Town Planning Act- 1915,which was in force till it was replaced by the TownPlanning Act of 1954. The act of 1954 incorporatedthe provisions of the Bombay Town Planning Act,1915 and in addition, made it obligatory for everylocal authority to prepare a development plan forthe entire area within its jurisdiction. The BombayTown Planning Act, 1954 applied to lands withinthe municipal limits only and therefore there wereno provisions for exercising proper and effectivecontrol over the planning and developments oflands in peripheral areas lying just outside themunicipal limits and were growing in a haphazardand irregular manner. There was no statutory powerunder the Act of 1954 for the preparation of regionalplans which, was therefore repealed and replacedby the Maharashtra Regional and Town PlanningAct, 1966. This act came in effect from January11, 1967. This act provided for the establishmentof regions and constitutions of the Regional Plan-ning Board for preparation of Regional Plans, des-ignation of sites for new towns, establishment ofdevelopment authorities to create new towns,preparation of development plans for municipalareas and Town Planning Schemes for executionof the sanctioned Development Plans.

1.1 Preparation of the Development Plan

The present Aurangabad Municipal Corporationwith an area of 138.5 sq. kms under its jurisdictioncame into existence from December 8, 1998 videGovt. Resolution No. AMC/1082/207/CP-12/82UD-21 dated December 3, 1982, after 18 villages wereadded to erstwhile “A” Class municipal council of

Aurangabad. The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1954was applicable to the Marathwada Region underthe provisions of the Bombay Town Planning (Ex-tension and Amendment) Act, 1964 and it cameinto force with effect from May 1, 1965. The provi-sions of this act made it obligatory for every localauthority to prepare a Development Plan for thearea under its jurisdiction within a period of fouryears from the date the act came into force.

Accordingly, Aurangabad Municipal Council pre-pared and published a Draft Development Planfor its limits of 54 sqkm which was sanctioned fora part of the area comprising of 8 planning unitsvide Govt. Notification No. TPS/3067/22693-Wdated April 24, 1969. After following the stipulatedprovisions, the council, submitted the DevelopmentPlan prepared afresh for the remaining areas, whichwas also sanctioned by Govt. vide Notification No.TPS-3073-4259-W-2 dated January 6, 1975.

After formation of the municipal corporation, a needfor controlling and regulating the development inthe extended area (18 villages) was felt. With thisconcern, a Development Plan for the extended areaalong with the area designated as “No Develop-ment Zone” in the earlier sanctioned DevelopmentPlan was prepared by AMC which was sanctionedby the Govt. in UD vide Notification No. TPS/3088/454-CR-59-88UD-12 dated October 15, 1991andit came into force with effect on November 19, 1991.

In 1995, the municipal corporation undertook therevision of the remaining old sanctioned Develop-ment Plan of 1975. The municipal corporation de-clared its intention under section 23(1) [read withsection 38] of the Maharashtra Regional and TownPlanning Act, 1966 to revise the sanctioned Devel-opment Plan of 1975 for the area excluding thearea of “No Development Zone” and including thearea denotified by CIDCO. This planning area un-der revision is almost developed and includes thecongested CBD areas of the city.

2 Landuse in the city

The land development as per the development planin Aurangabad city has been under constant revi-sions owing to the presence of different planning

authorities like CIDCO and MIDC and the exten-sions of the municipal limits in 1969 and 1982. Thedetails regarding the landuse under different plansare given in the table 3.1.

Almost all the area under consideration is developed and includes the CBD and congested parts of the city.

1. Development Plan for the municipal council was first prepared in 1969 and was approvedin 1975. According to this plan

a. Total area of municipal council 54.39 sqkms

b. No Development Zone (NDZ) 18.96 sqkms

c. Part of CIDCO in the council area 6.52 sqkms

Net area under plan proposal {a- (b+c)} 28.91 sqkms

________________________________________________________________________

2. After addition of 18 villages to the council and establishment of the corporation in 1982,a Development Plan for the additional area including the NDZ of old council area was pre-pared in 1991. According to this plan,

a. Additional area 70.70 sqkms

b. NDZ of the 1975 plan 18.96 sqkms

c. Area under CIDCO and MIDC (6.52+6.1+7.25) 19.87 sqkms

d. Overlap of 3.92 sqkms 3.92 sqkms

Net area under plan proposal 93.58 sqkms*

Note*: 1. The overlapping area (behind Bibi- ka- Maqbara) was shown in 1975 planas residential area and in 1991, was retained as residential area.

2. The overlapping area was not considered in calculations hence the D.P. Report gives areaunder plan as 89.66 sqkms.

________________________________________________________________________

3. In 1995, the old plan of 1975 of council area was revised which excluded the overlappingarea. According to this Development Plan,

a. Area under 1975 plan 28.91 sqkms

b. The overlapping area 3.92 sqkms

c. Denotifed area of CIDCO 0.30 sqkms

Net area under plan proposal (1-2+3) 25.29 sqkms

Note: * In 1969, the planning area was the entire municipal limit, while in 1991, the planning area was excluding thearea of no development zone of the sanctioned D.P. and area of CIDCO. Therefore an area difference is seen.

As per the revised DP (25.29 sq. Kms), the resi-dential area has been increased to 51 percent andthe area under transportation is increased to about12.50 percent. Another feature is that the recre-

3. Housing

The building and construction activity is controlledand regulated by the Town Planning Departmentof the corporation. However, there has been a lotof unauthorized construction in the city, owing tothe discrepancies in land titles, as most of the areain the old city was donated by the Nizam ofHyderabad as Bakshis to his citizens.

City Introduction and Assessment F. Land Use and Development Profile

Another peculiar characteristic of housing devel-opment is that the area in CIDCO is developed in asystematic way whereas the development in theold city is haphazard with no regards to rules andregulations. Most of these are termed as slumseven though they have good pucca houses.

4. Gunthewari

In the year 2002-2003 the Gunthewari Schemecame into existence under the Aurangabad Munici-pal Corporation. Till date 600 projects have beenproposed, out of which 60 projects are completed.From the completion of these 60 projects Rs.30,00,000 was obtained as the developmentcharges, administrative charges and other charges.

In areas like Srikrishnanagar, Uttamnagar,Bhanusnagar, Balajinagar, Mahunagar, etc. regis-tration of the houses was done. The houses in thisarea do not have any proof of their existence andownership. Therefore, the Gunthewari Scheme isnot applied in such areas. In some areas of the citythere are houses, 20’x 30’ in size. The open spacesin front these houses and in some cases, some

area inside the houses was used for widening ofthe roads. The cooperation of the people was ob-tained but was not as expected. People’s partici-pation is required for the promotion of theGunthewari Scheme. To increase the participationof the local people in the Gunthewari Scheme,some advertisements need to be done.

Certain papers are required for the enrollment inthe Gunthewari Scheme. These are:l Applicationl Sales deedl Tax Clearance Certificatel 7/12, abstract, index- 2l A promising letter of Rs200 on the stamp paper.l 6 prints of the map of the house.

By special order in 2005, Government ofMaharashtra has allowed a proof of lawful posses-sion as enough document for the regularization andno more a proof of lawful ownership is required.Due to lack of knowledge and unscrupulous ele-ments, many poor and lower middle class peoplehad got into a trap of buying a low cost land in ille-gal areas, where it was not allowed to transact forhousing purposes, and thereafter remaining devoidof any civic amenities in unhygienic and very un-comfortable and compromising situations. Due togovernment’s interference now civic body has beenable to embark a massive program of Gunthewaridevelopment and regularization. It is expected thatabout 25000 houses will get regularized in comingmonths.

Aurangabad, a dream destination of Mughal Em-peror Aurangzeb, founded in 1610, is known to-day, as one of the four important cities inMaharashtra. The city is heading towards rapid in-dustrial growth, but retains its past glory andcharms, heritage and traditions. Conspicuouslyseen on the Deccan plateau, it has a rich cultureand a plethora of magnificent arts on display.

The gateway to theWorld Heritage Sitesof Ajanta and Ellora,Aurangabad isnamed after the lastgreat Mughal em

peror, Aurangzeb. Aurangabad district has a longhistory of art and culture – to which several Bud-dhist, Hindu, and Jain Muslim communities havecontributed over the years.

Aurangabad, the district headquarters, is today amodern city, which offers visitors all the comfortsand amenities. It has several luxury and budgethotels, shopping centers, hospitals and banks. Inthe city are three museums housing art treasuresof the region- the Sunheri Mahal Museum, the Uni-versity Museum and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Mu-seum. The numerous city gates of Aurangabad arethe most prominent remnants of an era that estab

lished as a centerof power in theDeccan region.The city wasAurangzeb’s mili-tary base and hemade sure of its

protection walls to resist any attacks. The city oncehas five fortifications and 52 gates, out of which 13

remain today. These gates at the cardinal pointsare named after the cities that lie far beyond. Inthat direction i.e. The Delhi Gate to the North, thePaithan Gate to the South, the mecca (Makkai)Gate to the West and the Jalna Gate to East.Tourism still remains one of the important factorsin working of the city of Aurangabad. Thousandsof tourists, including foreign tourists from variouscountries, visit the city throughout the year. Thedevelopment of Aurangabad has been predomi-nantly due to the importance of tourism industry.The tourists globally for its proximity to the worldfamous know Aurangabad heritage caves ofAjanta and Ellora.Bibi-Ka –Maqbara

H. Financial Profile

Since beginning octroi and property tax is the mainsource of income. Generally octroi duty is the back-bone of income of Municipal Corporation.With a view of city development income is mostimportant. The pace of development of the city,similarly industries, business and communicationare responsible for the development. The flow oflocal and foreign tourists also adds to the incomeof the city.Because of Chikalthana and Railway Station Indus-trial Areas, Aurangabad City has rapidly developed.

The development of Waluj and Paithan IndustrialAreas also had important effects on the develop-ment of the Aurangabad city.There is Agricultural produce market committee.The Committee had shifted business activities to anew and spacious place where truck terminal fa-cilities have also been made available. Whole saleand retail business of vagetables, fruits and cere-als are carried out there.The details of Annual Budgets with revised annualbudgets, receipts and expenditures for the last 8financial years have been mentioned in the follow-ing statement.

made for different subjects who had four membersof the corporation including minimum one ladymember, subject experts residing in Aurangabad,concerned HOD and officials of corporation, andtwo journalists who write about the concerned sub-jects in the media, as members.On 20th December, representatives of All India In-stitute of Local Self Government were invited andthey gave guidance to all the HODs for the makingof CDP. After more meetings with office-bearers ofthe corporation, a rough structure was decidedupon and basic data and concept were improvedupon. These data and concept were circulated toall the members of the subject committee, after theyhad sufficient time to through these, a one dayworkshop was held on 13th of January, 2006, inwhich after introductory remarks and guidance, allthe subject committees sat for the whole day indifferent sections of the building and did brain-storming on the subject allotted and gave recom-mendations at the end of the day. All the MPs,MLAs, ex-MP, retired high ranking bureaucrats,professors of professional colleges and other ex-perts also attended the workshop. The suggestionsthat had come from the general public and othereminent personalities as a response to corpora-tions request to participate were also discussed andconsidered. To have a well-defined focus of thediscussion and to have output in a systematic for-mat, all the subject committees were requested tosubmit their conclusions in a three page note:

First Page: Vision statement and the goals/ projects for the subject allotted.

Second Page: Strategy to achieve the goals/ projects.

Third Page: Schedule for implementation.

1.Process

City Development Plan, by the virtue of being adocument that is comprehensive, futuristic and fun-damental from the perspective of a ‘commondream’ for the city, requires a procedure of prepa-ration that must ensure, foremost of all discussionsand participation of all sections of society and notonly elected representatives and the bureaucrats.Elected representatives though represent the popu-lation and bureaucrats though have rich experiencein civic administration and handling of all sorts ofsituations that arise from time to time, can not beexpected to produce a document that takes careof all aspects of civic life and all expectations ofthe general population. It was decided on the be-ginning only that a method will be devised to elicitand incorporate suggestions from a wide strata ofpeople.First meeting in which requirement of CDP wascommunicated took place on 15th of July, 2005 inMantralaya which led immediately to a meeting withall the office bearers in Aurangabad, on 19th of July,in which the concept was discussed and it wasdecided that city must prepare CDP as a basicdocument of development. The decision was an-nounced in the press conference and suggestionsfrom the general population as well as experts wereelicited. All the head of the departments were in-formed and educated about the concept of CDP indetails and the work of basic data preparationstarted immediately. Nagar-sachiv, one of the HODwas entrusted with the work of compilation and fu-ture coordination. All the corporators and publicrepresentatives were requested to give their sug-gestions and ideas and to participate in the pro-cess. About a year back a similar exercise was doneby divisional commissioner’s office for the city andinvaluable suggestions were obtained from theiroutput document. All the experts and other resourcepersons were also involved. To give a formal struc-ture to the whole process, eight committees were

Details of the subject committees are delineated in

Appendix – B.

All the suggestions of the subject committees werecompiled and put before the General Body Meet-ing of the corporation and discussed and passedas CDP for the Aurangabad city. One point to em-phasize here is that, a CDP, being a long term docu-ment, has to be a dynamic document and has tobe revisited periodically not only to monitor its imple-mentation but also to make suitable amendmentseither to the goals or to strategies that need beadopted to achieve those. CDP, thus, which hasbeen prepared after long drawn and comprehen-sive discussion, may need to be fine tuned furtherlater. City plans to do it while taking the current blueprint to make the first steps towards planned andwell-focused development of itself. It is expectedto not only reduce incidences of issues acquiringurgent proportions before they are handled but alsoto optimize and prioritize the use of scare resources.No knee-jerk or ad-hoc projects or their implemen-tations.

2 Vision/ Objectives/ Projectsa. Development Plani. Vision

City should implement at least 75% of its develop-ment plan which has been made after so much ofdeliberations and thoughts. Also city should reviseits development plan every 10 years to ensure thatit represents changing needs of the city, and alsoensures that rights of individual citizens owninglands under reservations do not get infringed indi-rectly, by reserving those lands without develop-ing.Also obtaining the building permissions should besmooth, transparent and time bound to ensurethere is no dis-incentive to go for unauthorized con-struction.Also illegal structures that have been constructedbefore 2001 should be regularized as per Govern-ment act while having a strict watch over furtherunauthorized constructions.ii. Objectives

1. To develop at least 75% of reservations as out lined in the plan.2. To keep revisiting the plan periodically to revise the plan to incorporate changing needs.3. To simplify building permission procedures.4. To strengthen encroachment removal and un authorized construction demolition squad.5. To protect open spaces and develop them.

iii. Strategies

It is not possible for the corporation to develop thereservations outlined in development plan all by it-self as the cost required for the land acquisition aswell as its development is huge, as outlined in thecity assessment chapter. This means that corpo-ration must devise new strategies to develop thesereservations. Some of the strategies may be:a. Develop the lands in possession with reserva

tions that are commercially exploitable on a BOTbasis, generating premiums that must be ear-

marked for purchase of further lands under res-ervations or for development of commerciallyunexploitable reservations.

b. To allow the owners to develop the reservationsthrough ‘accommodation reservation’ route,wherein owner develops the reservation to theextent of 1.25 FSI, giving 0.25 FSI to corpora-tion while commercially using the rest 1 FSI.

c. To hand over the rights of development of reservations that are commercially exploitable toagencies like MSRDC etc. which will developthese reservations, as they have resources, andploughing back the premiums into the infrastruc-ture projects implemented through them only.

d. Open spaces can be handed over to the societies to protect after development and also tomaintain them.

e. To promote ‘Group Housing Schemes’ .

iv. Projects1. To digitize the whole development plan and de

velop a ‘layer’ over the basic satellite data.Currently corporation has already paid MRSACmoney to obtain digitized satellite maps.

2. To earmark all the nallas and natural drains onthe development plan.Discussions are on with District Collector officeto obtain village maps and old maps showingall the nallas. Consideration is on to privatizesurvey of these nallas.

3. To get all the open spaces on the names of corporation.Currently a list of all the open spaces as perpermissions given in last decade has been sub-mitted to the city survey office for puttingcorporation’s name on property card.

4.To computerize the checking system of buildingplans as well digitizing plans on a BOT basis.A test study has been done. Shortly tenders onBOT basis will be out.

5. To enlist all the commercially viable reservationswhere lands are not in possession of corpora-

City Development Plan - 2 Vision/ Objectives/ Projects

Page 82: CDP

Pg 82Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

tion and check feasibility of handing over de-velopment rights to agencies like MSRDC thathave enough resources.

6. To enlist all commercially viable reservationswhere lands are in possession of corporationand develop them on a BOT basis.Currently tenders have been finalized for foursuch reservations and work is expected to com-mence in month of July 2006.

7. To simplify building byelaws.8. To modify building byelaws to make them in line

with byelaws of other corporations and devel-opment agencies.Currently corporation has done resolution toimplement TDR, make staircase free of FSI etc.and proposal has been sent to state government.

9. To ensure that historic heritage of the city remains untouched and conserved.Currently changes in the development rules, list-ing all the heritage buildings has been approvedby the corporation and has been sent to stategovernment for final approval.

v. Key Parameters

Key parameter for this percentage of reservationsdeveloped as per development plan and numberof new building permissions granted vis a vis in-crease in properties as per satellite survey.

b. Water supplyi. VisionCity should have a water supply system that Pro-vides very good potable water,Provides minimum150 liters per capita per day,Ensures up gradationof availability along with the growth of population,Isself sustaining i.e. works on no-profit, no-loss ba-sis at least as for as running and annual mainte-nance charges are concerned,Ensures optimal useof scarce natural resource water, by use of meter-ing and penalizing in terms of charges for morethan optimal use of water,Incentivises use of re-cycle water,Takes into account in most appropri-ate way underground water and ensures rechargeequal to at least the consumption,And promotesseparation of different qualities of water for differ-ent uses like potable, non potable, irrigable, indus-trial etc.

ii. ObjectivesAbove stated vision leads to following objectives:Up gradation of water system in terms of quantityand quality,Design of system with future requirement in viewespecially in terms of pipes laid, while pumping canbe added as per demands,Rationalization of water tariffs, with these depend-ing upon the quantity used, use water is put to, withinbuilt incentives for use of recycled water and dis-incentives for more than optimal use of water, ulti-mately adding up to balancing of annual expendi-ture and recovery, And Move towards use of metersfor quantifying the water used.

iii. Strategies

To achieve the above stated objectives, Corpora-tion should adopt following strategies:a. Implementation of Parallel Water Supply Scheme

on a BOT basis. Corporation should appoint aprivate contractor to lift water from the JaikwadiDam where water has been reserved for thecity and to bring it to the MBR after treatment.

City Development Plan - 2 Vision/ Objectives/ Projects

Page 83: CDP

Pg 83Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

Strategy should be to find a single private part-ner for this project so that all the three aspectsof the project i.e. intake system, filtration sys-tem and transportation system are implementedby a single agency leadingto minimizing themargin of profit for the agency instead of add-ing up three margins for three agencies andensuring that there is a single agency that isaccountable.

b. Saving cost of running the existing scheme byimplementing energy saving methods like mak-ing pumps energy efficient, on a PPP basis, ap-pointing agencies on a saving-sharing basis,thereby not making corporation invest upfront.This is most important as almost 75% of run-ning cost is due to energy consumption.

c. Reducing need of intake of water from the damby incentivising and promoting use of recycledwater at least for non-potable uses. This is alsocritical as city needs to lift water from the damto the height of almost 80 meters.

d. Raising the water charges to a level where thesystem can become self sustaining at least tothe extent of running and maintenance cost. Thedepreciation and capital cost must continue tobe cross subsidized from other taxes like octroior property tax.

e. To check the viability of captive power generation through unconventional means like wind,to ensure that energy bills of future remain incontrol.

f. To move towards formation of a separate WaterBoard for the city to ensure more professionalmanagement, least political interference,greater ability to raise funds and clear cut de-marcation of exact subsidy that keeps the sys-tem running.

iv. Projects1) Parallel Water Supply Line on a BOT basis.

Status:Tenders called, Pre-bid meetings held. In the laststage of final financial bids.

Outcome:The project has been designed to take care of thewater supply needs of the city till 2031. Due to partimplementation of a scheme by MJP for water sup-ply system augmentation, distribution system hasbeen slightly geared up but intake of water has notbeen improved. And hence the scheme has beendesigned to lift the water from the Dam and to trans-port after filtration to MBR. From MBR, corporationwill take over as the distribution system starts. Theproject has been designed to add water in phasesas population increases. Filtration and offtake hasbeen designed to increase in phases while thetransportation system has been designed to carrywater as per the need of 2031, to minimize totalcapital outlay.2)Making pumps energy efficient on a saving –sharing basis.

Status:Pending with General Body for approval in principle.Outcome:Private party will implement the energy saving de-sign and will save around 15 to 20% energy for thecity. Out of the savings, a percentage will be sharedwith the party for initial three years. This will en-sure that claims of the party are genuine and cor-poration needs not put any money upfront. Alsopumps are maintained to this extent for next threeyears free of cost.3) Isolating pumping machinery from load shading.

Status:1.08 crores have been paid to Maharashtra Elec-tricity Distribution Company, for implementation. Ithas been implemented. This project saved citizensof the city from the vagaries of power cuts leadingto disturbance of water supply schedule.Outcome: As city pumps its water almost at 5stages, load shading really disturbs the distribu-tion system and throws it out of gear, inviting pub-lic inconvenience and thus outcry. Hence City Cor-poration has paid 1.08 cr to DisCom for connect-ing its pumping stations to two different grids. This

City Development Plan - 2 Vision/ Objectives/ Projects

Page 84: CDP

Pg 84Aurangabad Municipal Corporation JNNURM (CDP)

has effectively isolated water supply system fromload shading.

4) Water Audit.Status:Underway. A professional agency has been ap-pointed which has already given an interim reportand is expected to submit the final report along withsuggestions by December 06. Some of the sug-gestions that came along with the interim reportshave already been implemented with 50% grantscoming from the government of Maharashtra forthe same.Outcome:This project should not only point out the quantityof water that is unaccounted for in the bills there bycontributing directly to the loss to City Corporationbut also will suggest changes in the system to savewater and manage this scarce resource better.While pointing out the physical leakages it will alsoresult in detection of illegal connections in the city.This will lead to better revenue realization vis-à-visthe water supplied. Also this is expected to reducethe public grievance that people who have legalconnections have to take on the burden of all theraises in the charges that are effected to reducethe financial loss, thereby effectively subsidizing theillegal connections. This will lead to greater loyalty

5) Captive power generation.

Status:Under active consideration by the corporation.Detail discussions have been held withMaharashtra Distribution Company in this regard.The company has shown a positive response. Un-der publication is invitation for expression of inter-ests from private parties for implementation.Outcome:It will have following outcomes:a. It will ensure that energy bill remains in control in future, as cost will be only maintenance cost.b. It will ensure that all the liability of DisCom on

Corporation gets over as power generation willalso generate units for supplying to DisCom inlieu of liability.

c. It will make the corporation a ‘green’ corporationwherein the entire energy requirement will comefrom environmentally clean energy.

Other projects are detailed in Appendix – D.

v. Key ParametersKey parameters to ensure that vision and objec-tives are being achieved and their expected val-ues are:

City Development Plan - 2 Vision/ Objectives/ Projects

c Sewerage and Sanitationi. Vision

City should have a underground sewerage system thatCovers 100% of the city,Collects and treats sewerage quantity that equalsaround 80% of water that is consumed in the city,Recovers its running and maintenance cost throughSewerage tax and not more than 20% of propertytax collections,Upgrades its collection and treatment capacityalong with increase in population and creation,Converts most of its intake into irrigable standardsfit for reuse for non-potable use,Is environment friendly and ensures that no un-treated sewerage goes into any natural NALA ordrain, thereby creating any chances of ground wa-ter contamination or any environmental hazards.

ii. Objectives

Above stated adopted vision for sewerage systemleads to following objectives:Augmenting the capacity of Sewerage TreatmentPlants to around 100 mld in first phase and thenraising it to 80% of water intake of city, instages,Providing underground sewerage lines to all thehouseholds,Ensuring that no sewerage goes untreated into thenatural nalas or drains,Lowering the cost through energy saving methodsand raising the resources by upgrading the chargesto meet the annual operation and maintenance costs.

iii. Strategies

It is expected that a BOT model or a PPP modelmay not be readily applicable to Sewerage system,strategy Aurangabad city wishes to implement isimplement the system by its own by raising financesfrom Government of India and Government ofMaharashtra and some financial institutions. An-other strategy that may be undertaken to ensureprofessional management of the system is to con-vert the sewerage department into a board or at-taching it to water board as when it comes to exist-ence. Pumping costs can be lowered by taking ona partner on a saving-sharing basis.Another strategy is to check viability of BOT basisdevelopment of treatment plant where treated wa-ter is sold by the operator to nearby industry or otherusers on a charge basis and if needed the viabilitygap funding is done by corporation.

iv Projects1. Design and implementation of comprehensive

Sewerage system for the city.2. Addition of 5 MLD treatment facility.3. Renewal and restarting the oxidation pond in

Nakshatrawadi.4. New sewerage main line connecting the sewer

age system to oxidation plant.5. Other projects are detailed in Appendix – D.

d. Solid waste management including Bio-Medical waste

i. VisionCity intends to become cleanest city in the state.City wishes to provide its citizens garbage free so-cial spaces, at the same time treating its garbagein a most environmentally sensitive way.

ii.ObjectivesTo minimize the garbage that is generated and fi-nally taken to dumping ground.To segregate garbage at source so that differentmeans of disposal may be adopted for differentkinds of garbage.To incentivise local use of bio-degradable garbagefor creation of fertilizer that can be used in localopen spaces, gardens, private lawns etc.To have a scientifically managed Land Filling Sitethat complies with all the guidelines of SupremeCourt.To have night sweeping so that transportation ofthe garbage does not hamper traffic and citizensfind their city clean when they get out of their housesin the morning.

iii.StrategiesTo outsource processing of garbage in a scientificand environmentally sensitive way.To privatize some part of the city for garbage lift-ing, as creation of new posts of scavengers is noteconomically sustainable for the city.To outsource transportation of the garbage to bringdown the cost of transportation while improving theoutput.To incentivise the cleaning of internal roads of alayout by association of residents by decreasingtheir Property Tax.

iv.ProjectsFollowing projects are needed to be taken up toachieve above stated vision and objectives:a. Scientific closure of current Dumping Site at

Naregaon. Current site has to be closed downscientifically as it is close to airport.

b. Development of new Land Fill Site. It is proposedthat a new Land Fill site be developed throughprivatization which will be suffice for next thirtyyears. It is expected that if city succeeds in mini-mizing its garbage than a much lesser area willbe required. Thus firstly the project is to go for aland enough for ten years, given current volumesof garbage, so that if city is successful in reduc-ing the volume of garbage to be disposed off,same land will be useful for next thirty years.

c. Processing of garbage. Tenders have been published for appointing an agency that will acceptthe garbage of the city, process it, convert it intofertilizer and sell it. This should lead to significantreduction in total garbage to dispose off finally.

d. Collection and Transportation of garbage. As cityis short of about 30% of required labor strengthto collect the garbage daily, it is proposed thatarea under Ward Office i.e. Ward – D – be priva-tized for collection and sweeping. Tenders forthis project are out. At present CIDCO area thathas been recently taken over by corporation hasprivatized cleaning, sweeping and transportationof garbage and the system is running success-fully.

e. Health

i. Vision

To ensure ‘Health for all’. City envisions that a mini-mum level of health services must be available toeveryone, especially urban poor. City also envisionsthat for life threatening diseases which may causeuntimely deaths leading to devastations of the fami-lies not only psychologically but also financially, tobe ensured. City also envisions that no epidemicshould be allowed to break. Again all social dis-eases like malaria etc. should be under strict con-trol. Social hygiene which is the responsibility ofthe city corporation is to be given top priority.

ii. ObjectivesTo run primary treatment centers efficiently and ata very subsidized rates so that it is easily afford-able to every urban poor.To incentivise hospitals that provides secondary andtertiary treatments.To strengthen position of Aurangabad as MedicalCenter for the Marathwada, and to move ahead tohelp create all the facilities that are available innearby cities like Pune.To have very effective biological, physical andchemical methods implementation for control ofmosquitoes.To educate citizens value of personal and socialhygiene.

iii. Strategies1. Upgrade the hospital run by corporations to provide quality primary health services.2. To approach urban poor by positioning hospitals near their abodes.3. To target expectant and neo mothers and small children for a healthy delivery and life.4. To develop an effective MIS system that can fore warn increase of incidence of any disease.5. To rope in private doctors not only for better and

dependable and wholesome data collection onprevalence of different diseases but also for sec-ondary and tertiary treatments.

6. Though it is not financially possible for corporation to go for high spatiality secondary and ter-tiary treatment centers, corporation can adoptthe strategy of entering into agreements withprivate and other hospitals to provide these ser-vices to urban poor at concessional rates.

7. Insurance for urban poor against accidents andlife threatening disease is also a strategy thatcity government is willing to explore.

iv. ProjectsUnder SIP project sponsored by EU, corporationhas made a project for computerizing all the dataof Mothers and Children. This involves givingSimputers to all the lady workers that are entrustedwith the responsibility of following up individualcases of expectant and neo mothers, and infants.Insurance for the whole city has been taken up foraccidents and it is applicable to every one who haspaid 100% property tax.

Corporation is upgrading its machinery to tacklemosquito breeding grounds. First physical solutionsand then biological and finally chemical methodslike fogging is used for Malaria control program.Educational programs for teaching value of per-sonal and social hygiene are underway under SIP.City must take up all the projects necessary toachieve above stated vision and objectives.

f. Road Infrastructure

i.VisionCity must provide its citizens a road infrastructurethat is:a. Safeb. Convenientc. Smoothd. Faste. Of least mental and physical stress.

ii. Objectivesa. To develop the roads to DP widthb. To implement IRDP sanctioned by state govern ment with the help of MSRDC.c. To plan services along with the roads to ensure

that roads need not be disturbed now and thenfor repair or replacement of services.

d. To develop all the junctions technically.e. To minimize traffic control lights by segregating the traffic through flyovers, grade-separators etc.

iii. StrategiesMain strategy is to develop road infrastructurethrough IRDP road wherein toll is collected at theentrance of the city and this is securitized to raisemoney for the roads. Another strategy that city in-tends to experiment is to hand over developmentrights over some commercially exploitable reserva-tions to agencies like MSRDC to develop them andto plough back the profits for the infrastructure.For land acquisition required to widen the roads,strategy is to grant additional FSI or TDR. Proposalfor TDR is pending with the state government forthe approval.

iv ProjectsIRDP of an outlay of 167 cr. is under implementa-tion by MSRDC, it must be taken to full execution.Special grant received by state government in 2005-06 has been converted into a mini IRDP to be imple-mented through the corporation. Roads worth 20crores are planned under defer payment system.Projects are outlined more in Appendix-D.

g.Urban Transport

i. VisionTo provide a city transport that is:a. Affordableb. Convenientc. Safed. Punctuale. Economically viable.

ii. StrategiesCorporation has decided to go through BOT routefor the city transport.

iii. ProjectAfter state transport asked corporation to take overthe city transport, corporation chose BOT route toimplement this project. After tenders, one agencywas selected to run city buses for the corporation.The agency runs the buses on the routes decidedby corporation, charges what is finalized by Re-gional Transport Authority (within the limits decidedby state government), and gives corporation a loy-alty of 80 paisa for each kilometer of running. Thisservice was started on 26th of January, 2006 andcurrently 56 buses are running, generating a dailyvolume of 1.5 lakhs and taking minimum of 50000passengers. Corporation intends to expand its fleetto 150 buses in a year’s time, generating about 3lakhs of monthly loyalty. Currently corporation isgetting about 1 lakh monthly royalty.

Budgeting

Annual budget, that the corporation prepares ev-ery year, plans for that year the receipts as well asthe expenditure. However its effect should be seenin the change in the key parameters of urban life,and thus more than the financial budget, the out-come budget becomes more important for know-ing its contribution towards the vision that has beenenumerated in this document. It is thus plannedthat from 2006-07 onwards, every year, the city willnot only prepare the financial budget but also itsoutcome budget. This has been started in rightearnest and the budget that has been prepared for2006-07 and presented to the General Body foracceptance has ‘outcome’ budget too. This will helpkeep an eye on whether after the annual expendi-ture has been made, city has progressed in theright direction or not. Another issue to be addressedis that this document talks about different key pa-rameters for different aspects of city governanceto be achieved in a particular timely way (as de-tailed in the ‘calendar’ section preceding currentsection), and every budgeting exercise should takeinto account this fact while planning its revenue andexpenditure. Financial projections for the differentprojects enumerated in this document must getaligned with the budgets of successive years. Againthe strategies that have been suggested in thisdocument, should get reflected in the budgets. It isthe budget that is implemented in any given year.Thus while preparing the budget of any year, CDPmust be used as a guiding tool. This has beenstarted in right earnest by the administration. Andthus budget that has been submitted to GeneralBody has new heads like premiums from BOT pro-posals like Bus Transport, Amusement park, com-mercial complexes etc. on the revenue side andhas new heads like expenditure on ERP solution,payment to private agency for maintenance andupgradation to energy saving in street lights etc. inthe expenditure side. Next year, once the BOOT

project on water supply rolls out, heads in revenueand expenditure sides will also get added corre-spondingly. New revenue sources enumerated inthis document as well as new ways of expenditure(through PPP) must get reflected.Annual Budgets will also serve as important yard-sticks to know whether implementation of CDP ison track. The composition of the revenue receiptsfrom different taxes and sources should get modi-fied to that expected after realization of vision.Thus city must links its successive budgets to CDPand use budgets to keep track of its implementa-tion also.

Monitoring and Revision of CDP

It is proposed that a committee at the city level, bythe name of City Management Committee beformed with Hon. Mayor as the chairman and draw-ing its members from the elected representativesas well as eminent personalities and experts fromthe citizens to meet at least twice a year to over-see the implementation and the progress madeunder CDP. There will be another executive com-mittee under chairmanship of Commissioner toimplement the CDP, under the overall guidance ofCity Management Committee. It would be the re-sponsibilities of these committees to monitor theimplementation of CDP and also to take up neces-sary discussion steps with all concern if any needis felt to revise the CDP, or to revise its targets.Without such periodic monitoring and necessaryrevision, CDP may soon loose its relevance withtime.

Epilogue

The city government, after much internal and ex-ternal debate and discussions, has given itself thisCity Development Plan, formally vide the resolu-tion stated in the last chapter and has also com-mitted itself to implement it through the MOU pro-posed therein. The success of the plan, and thusof the city itself in giving its citizens every aspect ofurban life enumerated in its vision, will depend uponthe continuance of this earnestness. This earnest-ness can be demonstrated every year by linkingthis document with its budgetary process and bymaking sure that each successive budget takescity further on the path shown in this document. Asalso stated in prologue and the chapter on imple-mentation and monitoring of CDP, this documentis a dynamic one, requiring frequent revisits andmodifications, to take care of changes in internalas well external environments. This dynamism andearnestness will surely take city on the path toachieving its vision for its citizens. How close thecity gets to achieving this vision will be the test ofsuccess of this exercise of making CDP and of theambitious program JNURM, launched by Govern-ment of India, in respect of Aurangabad City.
