Infrastructure
Roads and Bridges
Transport is a vital infrastructure for rapid socio-economic growth of any country. Out of the two important modes of transport i.e. Railways and Roads the latter's share in transport has been increasing continuously due to inherent advantages of door to door service, flexibility & reliability. These qualities of road transport make it the most popular system of transport in the country.
2. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous State of India with 16.62 crore population (2001 census). The total area of the state is 2.41 lac sq km with a density of 689 persons per sq km. The decadal growth of State population during 1991-2001 has been 25.8% compared to all India growth of 21.34% over the same period. As regards population growth, UP ranks 16th among 35 States / Union territories of the country. The State rural population as per 2001 census is 13.15 crore (79.12%) and the urban population is 3.47 crore (20.87%).
3. Over the last 50 years, the volume of railway freight has increased five fold and passenger kilometers nearly seven fold. The length of surfaced roads has multiplied nine fold. The number of goods vehicles has increased 40 fold, buses 20 fold and four-wheel passenger vehicles 30 fold. Freight handling has grown more than 16 fold and airfreight has increased about 30 fold. The vehicle population has increased from 3 lac in 1950-51 to an estimated 670 lakh in 2003 i.e. 224 times in 53 years. Only seven, out of every ten habitations have been connected by either painted or BOE (Kharanja) roads.
4. The relative share of road transport has increased from 12% to 60% of the freight volume and from 32% to 80% of passenger traffic. It is therefore important that transport capacities are expended to cater to the growing future demand.
Road Development Plan – Vision 2021
5. On the basis of the assessment of the achievements of the Lucknow Plan 1981 – 2001 and keeping in view the present and the future needs of the country Indian Road Congress has formulated the Vision 2021 for the Highway development in the first two decades of the 21st century for the country as a whole.
National Highways:
6. All national highways should have a minimum of two-lane carriageway with hard shoulders. Half the network should have four/six-lanes. Strengthening of weak pavements, rehabilitation of those bridges showing signs of distress, Construction of bypasses, railway over bridges, safety engineering and drainage measures are to be provided. The present NH system will be expanded to 80,000 kms by the end of 2021.
[ 155 ]
State Highways:
7. Entire length of State Highways will be of minimum two lane standard of which some segments will have additional hard shoulders and 10,000 kms. of State Highways will be four laned. The present State Highways system will be expanded to 1,60,000 kms. by the end of 2021.
Major District Roads.:
8. 40% of Major District Roads should have a minimum of two-lane carriageway and the total length of network will be expanded to 3,20,000 kms by the end of 2021.
Rural Roads:
9. All villages with population more than 1000 were to be connected by the year 2003, villages with population between 500 to 1000 were to be connected by 2007 and villages with population less than 500 will be connected by 2010. Once the basic access to all the villages is achieved in the first decade, the work of further improvements of village roads and additional links may be taken up in the subsequent years.
10. Although the vision 2021 has not laid down specific targets for the different states however the above all India National Highways, State Highways and Major District Roads targets are interpolated on the basis of the population of Uttar Pradesh in comparison to the population of the country (as per 2001 census) and the deduced targets of different categories of roads are as follows:-

Eleventh Plan, 2007-12
Thrust areas
All single lane and intermediate lanes of State highways will be widened to at least two lane standards and strengthened along with improvement in the riding quality.
All existing single lane and intermediate lane MDRs will be improved, i.e. strengthened and widened to two lane standards.
Existing intermediate/single lane ODRs in high traffic density zones will be improved, i.e. strengthened and widened according to traffic needs.
Existing double lane SHs will be improved by strengthening to cater to higher traffic density.
Existing double lane MDRs will be improved by strengthening in to high traffic density areas.
[ 157 ]
Existing double lane ODRs will be improved and strengthened.
In order to maintain the core road network of the state in the best possible riding worthy state and obtain the best possible cost benefit effects in this sector, work on introducing a road maintenance and management system along with GIS mapping will be expedited through institutional development and strengthening project.
Missing Bridges across State highways will be constructed.
Distressed bridges on State highways and important major district roads are be rehabilitated.
Narrow bridges on important state highways and major district roads will be widened.
Important Railway level crossings with traffic density above 1 lac train vehicle units (TVU) will be have replaced by road over head bridges.
Construction of flyovers in important cities of the state.
District headquarters will be provided bypasses at least for major traffic sectors or wherever major projects are coming up.
Improvement of Urban roads.
Private sector participation - Construction of overhead bridges, river bridges, bypasses and expressways to be taken up under BOT.
Maintenance of existing road network - ensuring proper level of service for road users.
Providing connectivity to rural areas i.e. villages by standard single lane width roads.
Construction of bypasses on SHs, MDRs where traffic has to pass through congested towns.
The average age of engineering staff is around 45 years. For the last 10 years no substantial technical staff has been recruited. This aspect needs immediate redressal otherwise along with the shortage of the Eng. /Tech. Staff the average age will also increase further in the coming years.

Status of connectivity of habitations
13. State Road Development policy was formulated in 1998 to provide impetus to the rural connectivity. On the basis of 1991 census an ambitious target of connecting all the villages of more than 1000 population by 2005 and of population less than 1000 by 2010 was targeted. On account of the practical limitations of the concept of village connectivity a new concept of connectivity of habitations was developed. PMGSY was launched in 2000 on the basis of this new concept, which envisaged a time bound programme to connect and upgrade all habitations of more than 1000 population by 2003-04 (in I Phase) and of population between 500 to 1000 by the year 2007-08 (in II Phase). However the achievement remained well below the targets and much is still left to be taken care off in the XIth Plan.
14. At the advent of the XIth Plan, out of a total of 1,70,004 habitations of the State, only 1,20,444 habitations were connected according to PMGSY standards i.e. connectivity either through painted or BOE (Kharanja) roads, thus leaving 49560 (29.15%) habitations unconnected (428 habitations of more than 1000; 4254 habitations of population between 500 to 999; 19604 habitations of population between 250 to 499 and 25274 habitations of less than 250 population). Out of these 958 habitations (428 habitations of more than 1000; 208 habitations of population between 500 to 999; 196 habitations of population between
[ 159 ]
250 to 499 and 126 habitations of less than 250 population) are anticipated to be connected during 2007-08 through PMGSY. A target of connecting 1193 habitations is kept for the year 2008-09 by UPRRDA.
Construction of Railway Over Bridges
15. Construction of Railway overhead/under head bridges has also been accorded high priority along with construction of road bridges. Some important Railway overhead bridges at Lucknow (Raidas Mandir), Lucknow (Mawaiya), Fatehpur, Meerut (Partapur), Gorakhpur (Dharamshala Crossing), Lucknow (Engg. College), Lucknow (Gomti Nagar), Hathras and Hardoi were completed by March 2006. Construction of three ROBs at Aligarh, Lucknow (Sadar Bazaar) and Ambedkar nagar, and widening of Kanpur (Tat Mill) ROB was completed during 2006-07 i.e. during the last year of the Tenth Plan.
16. With further impetus during the XIth Plan construction of fly overs at Etawah, Bareilly, Allahabad (Sirsa Mandi), and widening of Ghaziabad (Mohan Nagar) ROB is likely to be completed during 2007-08.
17. Construction of overhead bridges at Railway Crossing No. 129A in Deoria and at Railway crossing No. 26B/T-2 in Jyotiba Phule Nagar is proposed during the year 2008-09.
18. During 2006-07 88 major bridges have been completed and 76 major bridges are likely to be completed during the year 2007-08.
Category wise Status of Highways and Roads in Uttar Pradesh
19. The achievements in road length of all categories, including earthen Roads corresponding to the target of Road Development Plan-Vision 2021 are as follows:-
* With PWD = 3824.775 km, With NHAI=1745.496 km.** PWD Only.
*** including 1,43,678 km of other Department Roads (excluding Local Bodies and Avas Vikas Parishad).
# Out of this Black Top length is 1,50,303 kms only.
[ 160 ]
State Highways
20. As per Vision 2021, the length of State Highways in the state by the 2011 should be 14542 km against which the length of state Highways is 8551 km only as on 31.3.2006. Road Development Plan – Vision 2021 envisages the entire length of State Highways to be of minimum double lane standard.
21. Existing traffic density, on most of the State Highways, requires double laning (in some cases even four laning) and strengthening as well. However the present position is as under: -
Below Standard SL (up to 3.74 m width) 2736 kms 32%
Standard SL (3.75-6.99 m width) 1426 kms 17%
Standard DL (7.00-10.49m width) 4306 kms 50%
Standard ML (above 10.5 m width) 83 kms 1%
Total: -8551 kms
22. This clearly establishes that the existing 49% length of SHs, which is less than 7.0m in width should be double laned in the XI Plan itself. In addition to this, 30% length of the existing double lane SHs will also be strengthened. Out of which about 2000 kms are likely to be strengthened /widened during 2007-08 and a target of strengthening/widening of about 2200 kms is being kept for the year 2008-09.
Major District Roads
23. Length of Major District Roads in the State as per Road Development Plan – Vision 2021, should be 22086 km by the year 2011. Against this, the MDR length is 7345 km as on 31.03.06.
24. 40% of Major District Roads should have a double lane pavement according to Vision 2021. The present position is as given below: -
Below Standard SL (up to 3.74 m width) 5195 kms 72%
Standard SL (3.75-6.99 m width) 1518 kms 20%
Standard DL (7.00-10.49m width) 607 kms 8%
Standard ML (above 10.5 m width) 25 kms -
Total: -7345 kms
25. It is therefore important that the entire available length of MDRs of the State should be double laned and up graded to SH in the XIth Plan itself. So all the existing MDR is proposed to be double laned by 2012 and 20% of existing double lane length is proposed to be strengthened. About 500 kms of road is likely to be strengthened /widened during 2007-08 and a target of strengthening/widening of about 500 kms is being kept for the year 2008-09.
[ 161 ]
Other District Roads
Below Standard SL (up to 3.74 m width) 25851 kms 88%
Standard SL (3.75-6.99 m width) 2012 kms 7%
Standard DL (7.00-10.49m width) 1088 kms 4%
Standard ML (above 10.5 m width) 228 kms 1%
Total: - 29179 kms
26. To achieve the targets of the Road Development Plan – Vision 2021, widening of 20% length of 5.5m width to 7.0m width and widening of 20% length of 3.5m width to 5.5m width is proposed along with strengthening of 20% length of existing 7.0m wide roads, to cater to higher axle loads. However due to manpower/resource crunch, no specific targets have been fixed for 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Comparative Position of State in Road Length Density
27. The state lags much behind the other states of the country in road densitiy per 100 sq. km. area and per lac of population. Among the 26 major states of the country UP stands at 23rd and 11th position population and area wise respectively.
Private Sector Participation
28. In order to reduce the burden on the Public Sector, Private Sector participation in road transport has become a necessity. According to U.P. Road Development policy 1998 it has been decided to attract private sector investment for construction of rail overhead / under bridges, bypasses and construction/maintenance of roads in high density corridors. In the year1999, guidelines were framed to encourage Private Sector participation in the road and bridge projects in the state on Build-Operate-Transfer (B.O.T.) basis. U.P. State Bridge Corporation has been declared Nodal Agency for such BOT projects. Projects are to be identified on the basis of Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) and Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR). The Government will carry out preparatory work for the projects identified for private investment and meet the cost initially but the cost for detailed feasibility study of the project and land for Right-of-way and enroute facilities will be added to the cost of the project and the entrepreneur will have to pay it back to the Government from the income from toll collection.
29. A major bridge over river Sone in Chopan has been constructed by U.P. State Bridge Corporation on B.O.T. basis. Subsequently no significant progress could be made towards private sector participation for construction of roads & bridges on account of certain unavoidable reasons.
30. A major step was taken towards boosting Private Sector participation in Road & Bridges sector by constituting U.P. State Highway Authority for the development, maintenance and management of State Highways. Executive board of the Authority identified 9 important State Highways (total length 1265 kms) for up gradation, 6 State Highways for maintenance (total length 503.60 kms) and construction of 6 important ROBs on PPP basis. The identified State Highways and ROBs are as under: -

Construction of Ganga Expressway project on Public Private Partnership Model
31. The Ganga Expressway Project was launched in 2007. The project aims to construct a 1047 km access controlled eight-laned expressway running along the Ganga river. This expressway will connect Greater Noida to Ballia thus ensuring high speed connectivity between the Eastern and Western boundaries of Uttar Pradesh. The construction of the expressway will be done under a Public-private partnership model entailing an investment of the order of about Rs. 40,000 crores.
[ 163 ]
Appraisal of some important schemes
Rural Infrastructure Development Fund Scheme Financed by NABARD
Road Works
32. Government of India has set up Rural Infrastructure Development fund (RIDF) to be operationalised by NABARD for financing the new infrastructure projects, construction of rural roads and bridges for rural connectivity have been covered under this scheme. Sanction for construction of roads and bridges was started under RIDF-II Scheme in 1996-97 and subsequently road projects under RIDF-III in 1997-98, RIDF-IV in 1998-99, RIDF-V in 1999-2000 & 2000-2001, RIDF-VI & VII in 2001-02, RIDF-X and XI in 2005-06 & RIDF-XII in 2007-08 were sanctioned.
33. Till end of 10th five year plan, 9092 road works were sanctioned under RIDF Schemes costing Rs 1411.33 (excl. estab.) crores against which 8263 works were completed up to March 2007 and expenditure of Rs. 1348.72 crore was incurred.
34. Under 10th five year plan, against an amount of Rs. 765.62 crore (excl. estab.) , Roads of 4220 km length were constructed with an expenditure of Rs. 708.98 crore (excl. estab.) and 3952 of road projects were completed.
Bridges
35. The schemewise progress of different Bridge works is as under :- Scheme No.of
36. As per table shown above 01 Bridges in Nabard-2, 02 Bridges in Nabard -4, 02 Brdiges in Nabard-5, 06 Bridges in Nabard-7, 09 Bridges in Nabard-10, 107 Bridges in Nabard-11, are under construction. The amount shown in columns no.-6 is based on the amount allotted to U.P. Bridge Corporaton.
[ 164 ]
37. Thus a total of 127 Bridge projects are under construction under different Nabard Schemes. An outlay of Rs.119.81 Crores has been provided and 19 Bridges are expected to be completed in the financial Year 2007-08. Total outlay for Eleventh Five Year Plan is Rs.433.87 Crores against a target of 95 Bridges. Outlay proposed for the year 2008-09 is Rs.119.81 Crores.
Likely Progress During 11 th five year plan
38. During 11th five year plan, under RIDF Scheme, against proposed outlay of about Rs. 1012 crores for road works, roads of about 2898 km length are expected to be constructed whereas for 2007-08 Rs. 143.66 crores (excl. estab.) are proposed to be spent against an outlay of Rs. 279.54 crores for road works to construct about 800 km road length. During 2008-09 against proposed outlay of Rs. 234.35 crore for road works, roads of about 671 km length are expected to be constructed.
Externally Aided Project - U.P. State Roads Project
39. World Bank sanctioned a loan to the state for Upgradation and major Maintenance of about 3500 Km. length of Core Road network. This project is being implemented in two phases –
Phase I – Upgradation of 374 Km. (4 Packages) and Major Maintenance of 808 Km. (16 Packages)
Phase II – Upgradation of 579 Km. (7 Packages) and Major Maintenance of 1766 Km. (32 Packages), Construction of 4 Bypasses of 20 Km.length and 5 Major Bridges.
40. The total cost of this project is Rs.295200.00 Lacs (USD 615 Million), out of which Loan Amount is Rs.234200.00 Lacs (USD 488 Million). The project was started in April 2003 and its duration is 5½ years. The completion date of the project is 31st December, 2008
41. Under Phase I of the project, out of 16 Major Maintenance Packages, 14 Packages have been completed (624 Km.) and work on balance 2 Packages is ongoing. Similarly works on following two Upgradation Packages, out of four packages under Phase I of the project have been completed -
Baharaich – Gonda – Faizabad Road - 109.354 Km.
Jaunpur – Mohammadpur Road - 33.873 Km.
And works on the following two Upgradation Packages, out of four packages under Phase I of the project are in progress –
Katra-Jalalabad-Allahganj-Bilgram-Bangarmau-Bilhaur Road - 171.435 Km.
Bhognipur – Ghatampur – Choudhagra Road - 82.296 Km.
42. Due to depreciation in Dollar rate, and substantial increase in cost of construction material during the construction period, the project has been modified/restructured as under:
To absorb/accomodate expected increase of Rs.649 Crores in project cost, 7 Upgradation Packages in Phase II of the project have been downgraded to Major Maintenance.
[ 165 ]
A portion of 23 Km. from Madhoganj to Bangarmau Road has been included in Upgradation works on suggestion from the World Bank.
To absorb/accomodate increase of Rs.400 Crores in project cost due to unexpected increase in cost of construction material, Upgradation Package No. 9, 10 & 11 and Major Maintenance Package No. 39, 40, 41 & 53 have been deleted from the scope of the project.
Works of three Major Maintenance packages RMC-27, 28 and 29 are being done from other sources and notification has been issued declaring Raebareilly – Allahabad Road (RMC-22 & 52 ) as National Highway. Hence these packages are also out of the ambit of the project.
43. Therefore after above modifications / restructuring of the project, the length identified under Upgradation Packages has been reduced to 397 Km. and the length identified under Major Maintenance Packages has been reduced to 2420 Km.
Following Major Maintenance works of Phase I and II of the project are under progress:S.No. Package No. Name of Road Length
Construction work on following three Major Bridges is in progress:S.No. Package No. Name of Bridge1. UPG-13 Bridge over River Ghaghra on Sitapur Baharaich Road2. UPG-16 Bridge over River Yamuna on Chata-Gomat Road3. UPG-17 Bridge over River Ganga on Badauyn – Kasganj Road
44. Besides the above following two bridges are proposed to be constructed:S.No. Package No. Name of Bridge1. UPG-14 Bridge over River Ghaghra on Gorakhpur-Shahganj Road2. UPG-15 Bridge over River Sharda on Lakhimpur-Belrayan Road
45. The work on the above two bridges could not be taken up under State Road Project due to non-availability of funds and shall be taken up under other schemes funded by State.
46. Total expenditure incurred on the project up to March 2007 is Rs.116659 Lacs and Up gradation & Major Maintenance work on 1142 Km. length of Roads has been completed.
47. During Financial Year 2007-08, Outlay for U.P. State Roads Project is Rs.70000 Lakh which islikely to be spent. During the financial year 2007-08, the target of 500 Km. of Major Maintenance and 150 Km. of Up gradation works is likely achieved.
48. During Financial Year 2008-09, an outlay of Rs.500 Crores has been proposed for this project, against which construction of 300 Km. length under Major Maintenance and 100 Km. length under up gradation works will be taken up.

The expenditure on the project for year 2006-07 was approximately Rs. 3.50 crores and expected expenditure for year 2007-08 is approximately Rs. 4.50 crores and during 2008-09 a provision of Rs. 2.50 crores, has been made for this project.
Transport
53. The length of roads in the state is about 127108 Kms out of which about 17729 Kms route is nationalized, on which UPSRTC plies its buses and on the rest of the routes private buses numbering about 24,741 provide the transport services .There are about 91 lac vehicles registered in the State .
54. For the enforcement of the Motor Vehicle rules, the department has 75 Enforcement teams which have to take care of about 10,000 trucks entering the state from different check posts and also of 1.92 lac trucks
[ 168 ]
registered with the state. The squads are also responsible for the enforcement of Motor Vehicle Rules on all public transport vehicles and private vehicles which are either registered in the state or those which enter the state from outside.The revenue earned by the department in the year 2002-03 was Rs. 85093.49 lakh which increased to Rs. 113043.51 lakh in the year 2006-07.
55. The main functions of the Transport department are as follows
Enforcement of Motor-Vehicle Rule
Issuance of Driving Licence, Permits to the Transport vehicles
Registration of vehicles
Collection of Fee on to various activities relating to vehicles
Collection of Tax and Addl. Tax from the vehicles
Enforcement of Pollution norms in respect of Vehicles
Road Safety Schemes

56. Important Enforcement and other work done by the departmentYear Challans Compounded cases Fine collected
57. The total outlay provided in the Xth Plan was Rs.13851 lakh, against which the expenditure was Rs. 1884.32 lakh. During the tenth plan period the following schemes were taken up by the department
Strengthening of the District Offices
58. Offices of the department are in bad shape with the increase in the number of vehicles, records relating to them have also swelled and there has been a requirement strengthening the facilities in the offices which has been carried out under this scheme.
[ 169 ]
Upgradation of Check-posts
59. The survey carried out by the department reveal that about 35000 vehicles of different types enter the state through its border. As there are only 75 enforcement teams it is not possible to check all the vehicles. As a result the State is losing large amount of revenue. To overcome this, check posts are being upgraded.
Computerisation of the Department
60. In order to keep the records of the vehicles registered in the state and 35000 vehicles of different categories entering the state through the border daily, it was found necessary to get all the offices of the department computerized so that a proper check could be kept on the record of the vehicles and also the tax/ additional tax to be recovered. During the tenth plan period an amount of Rs 165.10 lac has been spent. At the end of tenth plan 39 offices of department (including the Transport commissioner office) were computerised.
Eleventh Plan and Annual plan 2008-2009
61. The department is mainly concerned with the enforcement of motor vehicle rules. The government fixes a target for the collection of revenue to support its various other schemes of the State. During the 11th plan period an increase of 10 % in revenue is envisaged by way collection of various taxes, addl. taxes and fees .In order to achieve the target the schemes proposed to be taken up during the 11 th plan period are as follows :-
Computerisation of the Department
62. The Department has 71 offices. It has been decided that all the offices will be computerized. The project was prepared by N.I.C the cost involved being Rs 7.11 Cr. During the tenth plan period 39 offices were computerized. During the Eleventh plan period an outlay of Rs 18.91 Cr. is proposed and an outlay of Rs 10.94 Cr. is proposed for the year 2008-2009.
Land and Buildings
63. Most of the offices of the department are in rented building and this is adversely affecting the Computerisation project, because of three reasons-
Offices are situated in very small building
Contract for rent is normally for 5 years. As a result House owners normally ask for premises to be vacated after the contracted period.
Computerisation involves fixing computer cables, power electrification and developing a room for keeping the computers and other equipments..All the requires expenditure once the system starts functioning it is not possible to shift it every now and then .
[ 170 ]
64. The extension of Administrative building of Transport commissioner office is also proposed during Xth Plan For the Annual plan 2008-2009 an outlay of Rs.50.56 lac. is proposed
Road Safety Scheme
65. The state has a large vehicular population and a number of accidents take place because of wrong use of road and defective driving habits. There is a need to educate the public about the right use of roads and developing right road habits. This is being done by adopting different methods of awareness like organising seminars at district level, providing literature, involving children of the schools in this field through debates, sports and art competition etc. Exhibitions are also arranged subsequently for developing awareness. To check road accidents the enforcement squad requires some essential equipments like Breath Analyzer, Digital Handicam, Speed Radar etc.
Upgradation of the Check Posts
66. There are 56 transport check posts on the border of the State. Through these check posts about 10.000 goods vehicle and passenger-vehicles enter the state through these check posts. These vehicles pay taxes and fee to the Transport Department as per the rules laid down in the State. the department has only 75 enforcement teams to handle those vehicles as well as the vehicles registered in the State. Because of shortage of enforcement personnel the State is loosing its due revenue and These check posts need to be upgraded for them to be effective in enforcement and collection of revenue.
67. Under this scheme, depending upon the number of vehicles passing through the check posts multiple lanes will be developed and small cabins will be built between the roads in which computer system linked with a sensor camera will be fitted. This will also be linked with the electronic weigh-bridges which will record the correct weight of the vehicle and will communicate the reading to the cabin computer. The computer in turn will calculate the compounding fee if any and will display the reading on the digital display board. there will be electronic barriers which will open up only when all the dues are paid by the vehicle.
68. At each check post, sufficient space will also be required for parking the vehicles and certain essential facilities will also be developed. The Project is proposed to be implemented under Public Private Partnership ( PPP )
Setting up of Motor Vehicle Testing Station
69. In view of the increasing number of motor vehicles in the state, it is important to test these vehicles report issuing fitness certificates. A fully equipped workshop with modern machines and testing equipments is needed to achieve this purpose. Provisions have been made for such testing workshops under the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, schedule 56(2) and Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, rule 63(3). An outlay of Rs. 1028.52 Lac is proposed for this purpose during the year 2008-2009.

Power Sector Restructuring and Reforms during Tenth Plan
Uttar Pradesh is one of the first few states to embark on reform in electricity sector. The reform process started in the year 1998 with the formation of independent Electricity Regulatory Commission in September 1998 under Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998 of Govt. of India.
For better accountability the erstwhile U.P. State Electricity Board was divided into three corporations namely U.P. Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (UPRVUNL), U.P. Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. (UPJVNL) and U.P. Power Corporation Ltd.(UPPCL) w.e.f. 14.1.2000.
In the distribution segment Kanpur Electricity Supply Company (KESCO) and four companies were created to look after the distribution in Kanpur city and the State.
A separate State Transmission utility i.e. U.P. Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. has also been created in the State to cater to the transmission business.
Collection based franchisee scheme has been started in the villages and input based franchisee has been started in Districts.
Important steps taken
The new Power policy involves private sector in all segments of the power sector. The policy gives major fiscal concessions to new entrepreneurs . The policy also aims of 100% electrification of villages, use of bio mass for energy generation and would tap all renewable energy sources...
Anpara C of 1000 M.W. capacity has been awarded on competitive bidding basis. This is India’s first project which has been awarded on Competitive Bidding Guidelines.
The revised Power Purchase Agreement and Revised Implementation Agreement relating to Thermal Generating Stations at Rosa (2x300 MW )and Hydro Electric Project at Srinagar (4X82.5 MW ) have been executed and the work on both these projects has started.
Major steps have been taken to reduce line losses and improve collection efficiency electromechanical meters have been replaced with electronic meters. Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (APDRP) is being implemented in various towns of Uttar Pradesh.
Extention of Parichha Thermal Power Project by additional capacity of of 1x210MW Power Plant.
Energy accounting system has been introduced and made effective to curb theft and losses.
Renovation and modernisation of thermal Power Plants have been taken up in order to improve PLF of thermal plants. Similarly the R&M of Hydro Power plants has also been taken up and would be completed during the 11th Five Year Plan..
For implementation of Reforms activities World Bank Loan No. IN 4545 amounting to US $ 150 million was sanctioned and implemented.
[ 173 ]
Impact of Restructuring and Reforms
72. The study of sponsored by World Bank in March 2005 revealed the following findings:

Secondary Transmission and Distribution Works (66 KV and below)
93. In order to provide effective and reliable power supply, development of requisite network of Secondary Transmission & Distribution is of paramount importance. It is from this network majority of electricity connections are given. This network constitutes a vital link between Extra High Voltage Transmission (132 KV & above) and the ultimate consumers. Therefore, for maintaining satisfactory supply strengthening of this vital link commensurate with the growth in load assumes importance.
94. With the introduction of 220 KV & 400 KV primary transmission the role of 66 KV network has been relegated to secondary transmission and as such with a view to optimise the system network further expansion of 66 KV & 37.5 KV network in UP Power System was discontinued and 33 KV system has come to stay as main secondary system. The 66 KV network existing in some districts is being continued but further expansion is being undertaken on 33 KV only. At present the distribution system which is heavily loaded for providing reliable & un- interrupted supply to the consumers has to be strengthened for which various works have been proposed.

Urban Infrastructure, Housing, Water Supply and Sanitation
[ 202 ]
Urban Infrastructure
149. Urbanization is a key indicator of economic development. The increasing pace of urbanization has resulted in tremendous pressure on civic infrastructure such as, drainage, sewerage, water supply, uncollected solid waste in parks and open spaces, transport, etc. It has also led to deterioration in the quality of the city environment. Most of the cities, are facing problems like pollution, poverty, inadequate housing, inadequate water supply, traffic congestion, sanitation, etc.
150. Most of the cities in India including those in Uttar Pradesh have not been planned for development in a sustainable way. Economic development, land use planning, housing, urban infrastructure like drainage, sewerage, water supply, power, solid waste management and transportation systems are all inadequate to meet current needs. Furthermore, most of the local authorities especially Municipalities and Development Authorities do not have enough resources to provide for the growing needs of housing and infrastructure services that come with rapid urbanization. To meet this challenge, cities have to be organized and managed as efficiently as possible. Local authorities need to restructure civic services and initiate management reforms to increase productivity and efficiency. To sort out the above problems a nation wide mission mode programme "Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)" was launched on 3rd December, 2005 to give focused attention to integrated development of urban infrastructure and services. This programme consists of four components viz.,
Urban Infrastructure and Governance (50:20:30: center:state:urban local bodies/FIs)-UIG - For Mathura it is 80:10:10 :: center:state:urban local bodies/Financial Institutions (FIs)
Basic Services for Urban Poor (50:50::center:state urban local bodies FIs)-BSUP- For Mathura it is 80 20::center:state/ urban local bodies/ Financial Institutions
Urban Infrastructure Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (80:10:10:: center:state:urban local bodies/FIs) - UIDSSMT
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (80 20::center:state/ urban local bodies/ Financial Institutions)-IHSDP
151. Components 1&2 are for cities population with more than 10 lakhs under which six Nagar Nigam cities (Kanpur, Allahabad, Varnasi, Agra, Lucknow, Meerut) and Mathura (considering its historic and touristic importance. Components 3&4 are for towns with population less than 10 lakhs under which the remaining six Nagar Nigam cities (Gaziabad, Aligarh, Bareily, Muradabad, Gorakhpur, Jhansi), 38 towns of Adarsh Janpad Yojna and 38 Class-I Municipal towns are covered.
152. UIG focuses attention on integrated development of infrastructure services in the cities. Under this sub Mission major infrastructure projects like sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, road network, urban transport and redevelopment of inner (old) city areas are taken up.
153. BSUP focuses attention on integrated development of Basic Services to the Urban Poor in the cities. Through this sub Mission integrated development of slums through projects for providing shelter, basic services and other related civic amenities with a view to provide utilities to the urban poor are taken up.
[ 203 ]
154. UIDSSMT aims at the improvement of urban infrastructure of small cities where as IHSDP aims at ameliorating the conditions of the urban slum dwellers who do not possess adequate shelter and reside in dilapidated conditions.
155. The financial assistance under this programme is provided by Govt. of India in the form of ACA (Additional Central Assistance). During the financial year 2006-07 an outlay of Rs. 86000.00 lakh has been provided against which an expenditure of Rs. 25179.95 lakh has been incurred In the 11 th Five Year Plan, an outlay of Rs. 10100.00 crore has been earmarked.
156. The total outlay provided for urban development department during the IV Plan was Rs. 5301.00 lakh.
157. The main initiatives of urban development department proposed for the 11th plan are infrastructural facilities like drainage, sewerage, water supply, power, solid waste management, transportation systems, etc.
158. Development through public-private partnership would be the main strategy during the 11 th Plan for meeting the infrastructural shortage and for providing affordable shelter for the poor in the urban areas of the state.
Efforts made for increasing Private investment through up of PPP models
The Government has issued directions to Urban Local Bodies for improving solid waste management system through private operators in the incurred areas of the cities. Under this system, contractors would provide sweepers, primary collection and transportation system. The coverage of this scheme is for 24 towns in the first phase.
Municipal laws are being amended to facilitate private partnership in various areas of urban services and management.
On the basis on Govt. of India guidelines for PFDF, State Govt has decided to create U.P. Urban Infrastructure Development Fund which would be managed by U.P. Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation.
159. The following projects are proposed to be taken up on Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.
Multi level parking cum shopping complex at Hazratganj.
Six lane Express way on Ghaziuddin Haider (GH) Canal
International Convention Center near Amar Shaheed Path.
Multi specialty Hospital near Amar Shaheed Path.
160. Project Development Special Purpose Vehicle (PDSPV) has been development and execution of constituted for the obra projects. Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) and Project Development Consultant Partner will discuss and finalize the constitution of PDSPV on mutually agreed terms and conditions.

National Urban Information System (NUIS)
177. National Urban Information System (NUIS) is a centrally sponsored scheme introduced at the end of 10th Five Year Plan. The financial assistance to be provided under this scheme is in the ratio 75% Central share and 25% State share. Its main objective is to establish a comprehensive information system in urban areas for planning, management and decentralized governance in the context of provisions of scientific planning and implementation of 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992. This scheme is intended to develop spatial as well as attribute data base for various levels of urban planning and decision support to meet requirements of urban planning and management. All urban areas in India are proposed to be covered by the end of 11th Five Year Plan under this scheme. In Uttar Pradesh, Urban Development
[ 207 ]
Department is the administrative department for this scheme and Town and Country Planning Department has been declared as the nodal agency. In the first phase six cities viz. Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Allahabad, Meerut and Ghaziabad are covered in the state under the NUIS scheme.
178. During the financial year 2006-07, the expenditure incurred was Rs.121.41 lakh towards urban mapping of the aforesaid six cities as state share to survey of India. SOI has started the work and is expected to deliver the GIS data to concerned urban local bodies and state nodal agency by the end of second quarter of 2008-09.
179. During the 11th Five year Plan, an outlay of Rs. 162.05 lakh has been provided under this Scheme. During the financial year 2007-08, an outlay of Rs. 32.41 lakh has been provided against which the anticipated expenditure is Rs.47.00 lakh.
Housing
180. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state of India with a total population of 16.60 crore according to Census, 2001 out of which 13.15 crore people live in rural areas and 3.45 crore in urban areas. Percentage of urban population to total population of the state stands at 20.78 as per 2001 Census whereas; this percentage was 19.68 in 1991. Thus, an increase of 1.10 percentage points has been recorded in the urban population during 1991-2001. The decadal growth of urban population during 1991-2001 is 32.88 per cent as against 30.50 per cent during 1981-91. By 2011 and 2021 the urban population of the state is estimated to be 4.49 crore (21.77%) and 5.83 crore (23.19%) showing an increase of 1.04 crore and 1.34 crore respectively, as compared to1.0 crore in 1991-2001.
181. The state has the largest urban system in the country with 628 municipalities however, it ranks 18 th
in the level of urbanization. Nearly 2/3rd (62%) of the state urban population is concentrated in 54 Class-I cities. Small towns (especially Class-5 and 6 towns) exhibited a negative rate of growth during 1991-2001 which is indicative of growing trend of population shift towards larger (5 lakh plus) cities. The numbers of metropolitan cities increased from 3 in 1991 to 6 in 2001 namely; Kanpur, Lucknow, Varanasi, Agra, Allahabad and Meerut. About 28% of the total urban population of the state is concentrated in these 6 metropolitan cities which recorded highest decadal growth rate (32%) during 1991-2001.There are marked regional imbalances in the pattern of urbanization with Western Region being the most urbanized and the Bundelkhand Region the least urbanized.
182. The urban structure is becoming more and more top heavy due to the higher demographic growth in large cities. Higher demographic growth in the class-I cities is due to both area expansion and inmigration. Further, there has been expansion in the municipal boundaries of the Class-I cities. Besides, these cities attract migrants from all over the state due to their stronger economic and infrastructural base. Thus, the spatial concentration of urban growth can be seen not only in terms of an increase in the share of urban population in class-I cities but also in that of million plus cities. The emerging trends of urbanization in the
[ 208 ]
state necessitates two-pronged strategy for balanced regional urban development i.e. better management of large cities and inducing planned growth of small and medium towns.
Housing and Infrastructure Scenario
(a) Housing
183. Housing, is one of the basic necessities of life. The high urban growth entails considerable investment in housing, physical and social infrastructure. It is estimated that the housing industry in the country contributes to about 6% of the GDP. This industry itself has over 250 backward and forward linkages with ancillary industries. It is ironical that while urban population is increasing rapidly, supply of serviced land and housing units is restricted leading to creation of sub-standard and illegal housing stock.
184. Based on 2001 Census, the housing shortage in the urban areas of the state at the beginning of 10 th
Plan was 7 lakh units whereas; additional requirement during the 10 th Plan was estimated at 9 lakh units. Thus, the total housing demand during the 10th Plan was estimated at 16 lakh units which implied a provision of 3.20 lakh units per year. However, the capacity of the public sector housing agencies especially Development Authorities and Housing and Development Board has been limited to maximum of 1.0 lakh units per year. Therefore, the state government decided to formulate a strategy to meet the two-third requirement of total estimated demand of 16 lakh units during the 10 th Five Year Plan to provide 10.50 lakh units with the participation of Private and Cooperative Sectors. Targets for Public, Private and Cooperative Sectors were 4.10 lakh, 5.40 lakh and 1.0 lakh units, respectively. The total housing stock created by Development Authorities, Housing and Development Board, co-operative sector and organized private sector during the 10th Five Year Plan aggregated to 4.50 lakh dwelling units. The housing stock created by unorganized private sector is estimated to be about 1.25 times of the organized sector i.e. about 5.60 lakh units. Thus, the total estimated housing stock created during 10 th Five Year Plan was to the tune of 10 lakh dwelling units.
185. During the 10th plan period, the total outlay under housing department was Rs. 23000.00 lakh against which the expenditure was Rs. 33079.00 lakh.
186. The projected housing shortage at the beginning of 11 th Plan (2007-08) is estimated at 4.67 lakh dwelling units. Besides, an additional requirement of 11.16 lakh dwelling units is expected to be added during the 11th Plan period as per the population projections. Therefore, the total housing demand anticipated during 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) is 15.84 lakh dwelling units.
187. Although the State Housing Policy lays special emphasis on promoting private investment in the housing sector, yet the activities of the private sector have been hapazard. With the current policy of economic liberalization and stress on privatization, the government is now resuming the role of a catalyst and “facilitator” in the housing sector rather than discharging the traditional role of being a “provider”. Therefore, during the 11th Plan efforts will be made to pursue the reform agenda further and design policies that focus on the provision of housing to weaker sections and spur private sector investment while encouraging competition by guarding against monopolistic practices.

XI Plan – Strategies and Initiatives
(a) Economic Development
188. Without a strong sustainable economy, no city, state, or local authority can offer the opportunity for high quality life to its citizens. Developing a sustainable city with true economic opportunities requires a comprehensive master plan that understands and takes into account these complex interrelationships. The first step of the master planning process should be to conduct a resource assessment of the city and then to analyze these resources from an economic development perspective.
(b) Land Use
189. Building livable and sustainable cities starts with good land use policy. If land use is not planned and managed correctly then all other city functions fail. Land use decisions drive infrastructure, determine transportation systems, frame energy policy, affect economic development, and impact the quality of life in a city in immeasurable ways. Therefore, land should be treated as an economic resource while making land use decisions.
(c) Transportation
190. Perhaps nothing is as important to a city’s economic vitality as a good transportation system A truly sustainable city with a vibrant economy needs efficient and convenient mobility. To achieve this goal, cities need to take a systems approach to transportation. Transportation planning needs to be accorded top priority especially in the metropolitan cities of the state.
191. As per 2001 Census, Kanpur and Lucknow are the biggest metropolitan cities which have crossed the 2 Million population mark. The traffic and transportation conditions of these two cities are deteriorating day by day. Therefore, an efficient Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) i.e. Metro Rail system needs to be introduced in these cities. In this regard, an allocation of Rs. 5.00 crore (Rs. 2.50 crore each) would be required in the 11th Five Year Plan for taking up the techno-economic feasibility study for MRTS in both the cities.
(d) Urban Infrastructure
192. The quality of life in a city is greatly affected by the efficacy of its urban infrastructure. Storm-water drainage system, wastewater treatment, solid waste management and power directly impact environmental quality in a city. Local authorities need to lay special emphasis on more effective planning, operation and maintenance of its urban infrastructure. Availing maximum financial assistance and successful implementation of schemes initiated under the centrally sponsored schemes such as JNNURM, UIDSSMT and IHSDP will prove a boon during the 11 th Plan for improving and strengthening of infrastructure in the urban areas of the state.
Protection of Environment
[ 210 ]
193. Erratic climatic conditions leading to prolonged periods of dry spells, flash floods, rising temperatures and pollution levels have generated a sense of urgency among the policy makers to take sincere steps to halt the degradation of global eco-systems and macro-climatic conditions. Therefore, future urban development strategy will have to be sensitive to environmental considerations to ensure overall human well being. In order to promote environmentally sustainable development of urban areas, major emphasis will be laid on effective implementation of the following measures during the 11 th Five Year Plan:-
To promote efficient land use planning based on integration of living and working areas so as to minimize traffic generation, travel distance and auto- exhaust emissions.
Conservation, augmentation & management of water through implementation of Rainwater Harvesting System.
Conservation of existing forest/green cover and provision for increase in the green space/areas through enforcement of Master Plan Guidelines and preparation of Zonal Development Plans.
Conservation of energy through promotion of non-conventional energy sources and adoption of sustainable building concepts.
Promote the use of local building materials and use of renewable materials.
Conservation of prime agricultural land and environmentally sensitive areas through rationalization of planning norms and Building Bye-laws.
To make provisions for safe disposal of solid wastes in the city Master Plans.
194. Environmental Impact Assessment of development projects and environmental clearance from Central/State departments are to be strictly adhered to before taking up the projects.
Performance of Urban Housing Sector
195. Housing schemes in the state are implemented mainly by the Development Authorities and the Housing and Development Board. At present there are 24 Development Authorities covering large cities and the Housing and Development Board is functional in 102 urban areas of the state. The schemes comprise land acquisition and development, EWS housing, sites and services scheme, low income, middle income and high income group housing. The State Government, HUDCO and other Financial Institutions have been financing such schemes.
196. The total outlay provided for the housing department in the year 2007-08 was Rs. 45547.00 lakh against which the anticipated expenditure is Rs. 83785.00 lakh. The total outlay proposed for the year 2008-09 is Rs. 70932.00 lakh. The performance of major schemes under the Urban Housing Sector are:
Indira Gandhi Pratisthan
197. This scheme is proposed on 25 acres of land situated at Gomtinagar, Lucknow. The implementation of this scheme commenced in February, 2005 and the project period is 3 years, i.e. 2005 to 2008. Under this project, construction of conference, banquet, plenary halls, library, etc. has been completed and the
[ 211 ]
remaining works comprising auditorium and Stambh are expected to be completed by the year 2008. An outlay of Rs. 2000.00 lakh was provided for the financial year 2007-08 to complete the remaining works which is likely to be fully utilized. The construction agency of the project has raised a demand of Rs 87.00 lakh to complete the remaining works. Hence an outlay of Rs 87.00 lakh has been proposed for the year 2008-09.
Integrated Development of Lucknow city
198. A comprehensive development plan for Lucknow city is being prepared for its integrated development. In the aforesaid plan, there is a proposal to construct a outer ring road, urban transport system, parking, Bus stops, Railway over bridges, fly overs, sub ways, transportnagars, water supply schemes, sewage disposal works, electrification works, etc. To complete these works an outlay of Rs.20000.00 lakh has been proposed for the financial year 2008-09.
Rural Housing
Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY)
199. Under this programme houses are provided free of cost to the selected beneficiaries. 80% of the funds are utilized on the construction of new houses and the remaining 20% funds for upgradation of kutcha houses. Houses are constructed on the plots of beneficiaries. Allotment of houses under this scheme is made in the name of the female member of the beneficiary household. Alternatively, it can be allotted in the name of both husband and wife.
200. The target group for houses under the scheme are the people below poverty line living in rural areas and belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, freed bonded labourers and non-SC/ST beneficiaries to the extent of 40% of total allocation during a financial year. 3% of the funds have been earmarked for the benefit of disabled persons living below poverty line. Effective from 1.4.2004, the upper limit of new construction is Rs. 25,000 for each house in the plains and Rs. 27500 in the Bundelkhand region while cost of up gradation of each kutcha house is Rs. 12,500. Though no design is prescribed for the house, plinth area of the houses should be around 20 sq.mts.
201. On the basis of BPL Census 2002, the rural housing shortage in Uttar Pradesh is nearly 45 lakhs. To provide houses to identified BPL families is the prime priority of the State in the 11th Five Years Plan (2007-12). Thus in five years we need 45 lakhs houses to be constructed i.e. 9 lakhs houses per year. Therefore, there is a need of a new housing scheme to be implemented by the State Government apart from the IAY or to increase the outlay of IAY up to that mark.
202. Under IAY Efforts are being made to cover 20.00 lakh families during the 11th Five Year Plan subject to availability of Rs. 5000 .00 crores ( Rs. 3750 crores from Central Govt. and Rs. 1250 crores from
[ 212 ]
State Govt.) State Planning Commission has provided Rs. 767.06 crores as state share for the 11th plan , hence additional outlay of Rs. 482.94 crore is required under the scheme.
203. The outlay for the year 2007- 08 under IAY is Rs 636 crores which includes state share of Rs 160 crores against which about 2.55 lakh houses can be constructed. In the year 2008-09 it has been planned to construct 4.00 lakh houses for which Rs. 1000.00 crores (Rs.750.00 crores central share and Rs. 250.00 crores state share) will be required.
204. Permanent IAY waitlist is prepared for each Gram Panchayat based on BPL census 2002. The list is displayed in each gram panchayat. The IAY waitlist is also displayed on the respective district’s NIC website in which blockwise and village wise identified households are displayed.
205. For the Eleventh Five Year Plan an outlay of Rs. 767.06 crore (State Scheme) has been approved against which a target of constructing 12.50 lakh houses has been fixed. During 2007-08 it is anticipated that 2.50 lakh houses will be constructed under the programme. An outlay of Rs 250 crore has been proposed for the Annual Plan 2008-09 against which 4.00 lakh houses will be constructed.
Maha Maya Rural Housing Scheme for BPL families –
206. The State Government floated a new scheme of rural housing for SC/ST families during 2006-07 for construction of 1.20 lakh houses. About 12.00 lakh houses are proposed to be constructed in the 11th Five Year Plan under this scheme for which Social welfare department has provided an outlay of Rs.1875.00 crores . The pattern of scheme will be the same as of Indira Awas Yojana . An outlay of Rs 200 crores has been provided for the year 2007-08 for construction of 80,000 houses. For the year 2008-09 an outlay of Rs. 200.00 crores has been earmarked by which 80,000 houses will be constructed.
Water Supply and Sanitation
207. Clean drinking water, sanitation and clean environment are vital to improve the health of our people. Provision of these basic services continues to be among the core activities of urban local bodies. Since availability of water in the country is going down, in general, with depletion of water table and the discharge of the rivers, a review of the requirements of the water is the prime need of the hour. Government of India changed the requirement levels of the rate of water supply to the individual and other users. The rate of water supply defined in the manual on water supply and treatment in May 1999 by govt. of India is as under.
Towns having no sewerage facility : 70 lpcd
Towns having sewerage facility : 135 lpcd
Metropolitan and Mega-cities : 150 lpcd
[ 213 ]
208. In U.P., there are 627 local bodies out of which 12 are Nagar Nigams,194 are Nagar Palika Parishads and 421 are Nagar Panchayats whose total population according to 2001 census is 3.26 crores. This must have gone up to 3.81 crores now and is expected to increase to 12.84 crores in the year 2040. All towns are provided with piped drinking water facility except 2 Nagar Panchayats (which were among 5 towns included at a later stage). In these 2 towns piped water supply will be provided under district plan/ UIDSSMT as per needs. As per the position on 1-4-2007, drinking water availability, against norms, in towns is as follows.
100% or more availability as per norms 277 towns
More than 75% & <100% water supply 142 towns
More than 50% & <75% water supply 126 towns
More than 25% & <50% water supply 60 towns
Less than 25% water supply 20 towns
Without piped w/s 2 towns
Total 625 towns
209. Data of two towns where water supply is not maintained by Local Body or Jal Sansthan are not available
Achievements in Tenth Five Year Plan
210. The Tenth Five Year Plan emphasized provision of drinking water and sanitation facilities. The total outlay provided under Water Supply and Sanitation during the 10th Plan was Rs. 305450.00 lakh against which the expenditure was Rs. 72519.90 lakh.
211. Under Accelerated Urban Water supply Programme out of 425 towns having population less than 20,000, only schemes of 390 towns were sanctioned by GOI. 121 Towns have been provided with adequate Water supply during the Ninth Plan. 219 towns were provided with drinking water in the Tenth Plan and the rest 50 towns will be covered in year 2007-08. This Programme is now closed (March 2007) as per the decision taken by Govt. of India.
Eleventh Five Year Plan - Vision and Strategy
212. The main objectives pertaining to urban water supply and sanitation during the 11th Five Year Plan are:
Expansion and improvement of drinking water supply in every town.
Expansion and improvement of sanitation facility with other social infrastructure.
[ 214 ]
213. The above objective can only be achieved through appropriate mix of central and state investments, institutional finance, strengthening of operation and maintenance system and more importantly by the involvement of local bodies/communities at various stages of planning implementation, operation and maintenance.
214. The Status of Water supply and sewerage system is not satisfactory in many of the towns as compared to the prescribed norms. For this the following strategy is proposed:-
Reorganization of water supply and Sewerage system in all the 12 Nagar Nigams. Six of them are included in JNNURM while for the remaining six Nagar Nigams, these schemes are proposed to be taken up with state resources.
Reorganization of water supply and Sewerage system of towns having Sewerage System and with population more than 1 lakh as per 2001 census.
Reorganization of water supply system of towns having water availability less than 50% of norms and not covered under AUWSP.
215. Water supply level in towns of U.P. at the end of March 2006 was 4647.94 mld per day which is expected to further improve at the end of March 2007 i.e. at the end of Tenth five year plan. With standard norms, water supply level required at the end of March 2007 is 5170.06 mld per day. The gap is proposed to be covered during Eleventh Five Year Plan.
Sewerage System
216. Out of 628 towns, partial sewerage system exists in only 55 towns. Sewerage system in most of the towns is being proposed in JNNURM and UIDSSMT Programme. Few towns will be covered in the State Sector which would be decided by State Govt. at appropriate stage.
217. The main schemes under this sector for the year 2008-09 are as follows:
Water supply schemes in towns other than AUWSP are covered under district sector:
218. This programme was approved by the State Govt. to improve the water supply conditions in 16 districts of the state. In the year 2007-08 an outlay of Rs. 9000.00lakh was provided for the improvement of water supply works such as hand pumps, extension of pipe lines, tubewells, etc. and the funds would be utilized fully. Keeping in view the increasing population and the fast improving living standards an outlay of Rs. 12000.00 lakh has been proposed for the financial year 2008-09.
Externally Aided Schemes (EAPs)
[ 215 ]
219. Under EAP "Agra Water Supply Scheme (Gangajal JBIC)" has been taken up with the purpose of providing good quality water from the river Yamuna. Looking at the deteriorating conditions of river Yamuna and the water crisis being faced by the heritage city, the Government has come up with this scheme. Under this scheme it is proposed to lay a 130 km long pipe line upto Agra/Mathura. This project is assessed to be completed by the year 2014. 85% of the cost of the project will be met with loan from JBIC and 15% cost of the project will be borne by the State Government. In the year 2007-08 an outlay of Rs. 700.00 lakh was provided for the project. An outlay of Rs. 9000.00 lakh has been proposed for the financial year 2008-09.
Ganga Acton Plan - Phase- II
220. Ganga Acton Plan - Phase- II is being executed in the State under National River Conservation Programme of Government of India. Under this scheme, river pollution control works of 23 towns situated on the bank of river Ganga, Yamuna and Gomti in different components namely Ganga Action Plan (12 towns), Yamuna Action Plan (8 towns) and Gomti Action Plan (3 towns) are included.
221. Under this project, the sanctioned works in Yamuna Action Plan– Phase-I component have been completed, wherein 16 Sewage Treatment Plants of 402.25 mld capacity have been constructed and made operational. Also under Gomti Action Plan component, 1 Sewage Treatment Plant of 42.0 mld capacity in Lucknow town and 1 Sewage Treatment Plant of 1.7 mld capacity in Sultanpur town have been constructed and made operational. Under this scheme, 15 different sewage treatment plants of total 512.96 mld capacity included in sanctioned and ongoing schemes are at different stages of construction,
222. An outlay of Rs. 6535.00 lakh was provided in the year 2007-08 against which the anticipated expenditure is Rs. 2690.75 lakh. For the financial year 2008-09 an outlay of Rs. 7050.00 lakh has been proposed.
Lake Conservation Plan- Govardhan Town
223. In the 10th meeting of National River Conservation Authority (NRCA) under the chairmanship of Hon'ble Prime Minister, held on 13.03.2001, a decision was taken to the effect that “National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP) shall receive the same priority as the rivers. As per the above decision of Government of India, the projects for 4 lakes namely, Ramgarh Tal (Gorakhpur), Laxmi Tal (Jhansi), MansiGanga Tal, Govardhan, (Mathura) and MadanSagar Tal (Mahoba) of the State were proposed under NLCP. Out of the 4 lakes, the MansiGanga Tal, Govardhan (Mathura) is the first priority by the State Government. An outlay of Rs. 450.00 lakh was provided in the year 2007-08. For the financial year 2008-09 an outlay of Rs. 300.00 lakh has been proposed under this scheme.
Rural water supply
224. The entire Rural Water Supply (RWS) programme was given a mission approach when the Technology Mission on Drinking Water and Related Water Management, also called the National Drinking
[ 216 ]
Water Mission (NDWM) was introduced as one of the five Social Missions in 1986. NDWM was renamed as "Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM)" in 1991.
225. As per 2004 survey, 2,33,341 Habitations were found fully covered(FC), 7993 habitations were identified as Not Covered (NC) and 18776 habitations as Partially Covered (PC) out of total 2,60,110 Habitations as on 1.4.04. Out of the above mentioned NC/PC habitations only 445 PC and 205 NC habitations are left to be covered at the end of X Five Year Plan.
226. In the rural areas of State most of the Piped Water Supply Schemes have been executed after 1970. So a 1163 Piped water Supply Schemes (PWS) covering 28996 habitations have been completed, which are under by UP Jal Nigam/ Jal Sansthan/ Gram Panchayat maintenance, District-wise status of these schemes is given in Annexure-5 At present 691 PWS are under execution in various district under diffrent programmes 95 schemes are expected to be completed by 31-3-07 and 596 schemes are expected to be carried out in the 11th Five Year Plan.
227. During the 11th Five Year Plan, the main emphasis for piped water supply schemes is to be given to bigger villages (Population more than 5000) which are not quality affected. As on 01.04.2007, the number of hand pumps installed in rural areas, is about 16.56 lakh at the end of the 10th Five Year Plan period.
Safe Drinking Water On Sustainable Basis To All Habitations
228. All Rural habitations have been covered as per norm of 40 lpcd i.e. one handpump per 250 persons. Implementation of schemes to provide safe drinking water as per revised norms of GOI (one source for a population of 150) has already been taken up during the 10th Five Year Plan period with community contribution in capital cost sharing (minimum 10%) and bearing 100% Operation & Maintenance cost. It is proposed to saturate the remaining rural habitations as per revised norms of one handpump per 150 persons during the 11th Five Year Plan.
229. In small rural habitations, only one handpump or standpost has been provided as per requirement to saturate the habitations as per revised norm. In these habitations, safe drinking water crisis emerges when existing handpump goes out of order. In all such habitations, one extra handpump is proposed to be installed during the 11th Five Year Plan period.
230. As majority of piped water supply schemes (PWS) have outlived their utility, their rejuvenation is needed. It is not possible to rejuvenate these schemes from the available O & M fund. Hence, adequate provision is required in the 11th Five Year Plan. Once these schemes get rejuvenated, the same shall be maintained on sustainable basis.
231. U.P. Jal Nigam has already sent a proposal to Govt. of U.P. for revision of the tariff, which was last revised in 1994-95. It is expected that with the rejuvenation of existing PWS the coverage will be enhanced and after revision of tariff more resources will be available from the beneficiaries.
[ 217 ]
Management Information System
232. Government of India sanctioned a project in the 9th Five Year Plan for computerization of various activities related to Rural Water Supply. A separate computer centre has been set up in all the U P Jal Nigam offices. Out of the total sanctioned amount of Rs. 1166.60 lakh by State Government and GOI for this purpose, Rs. 1123.20 lakh has been utilized. Data entries for operation software are under progress. Additional demand for the 11th Five year Plan amounting to Rs. 18 Crores has also been sent to GOI after approval of State Level Committee.
