Slums are the products of failed policies, bad governance, corruption, inappropriate regulations, dysfunctional land markets, unresponsive financial systems and a fundamental lack of political will.
41.6 per cent of the total slum population resides in cities with over one-million population.
City Proportion of slum households (%) Greater Mumbai 41.3 Kolkata 29.6 Chennai 28.5 Delhi 14.6 Bengaluru 8.5.
cities have no space to accommodate immigrates in proper facilitated space so this result n increase of slums.
Unemployment in rural areas drift people to towns in search of job and without property they became slum dwellers.
Development of industries and services are mainly concentrated in cities.
SLUMS- residential areas where dwellings are unfit for human habitation
Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana (VAMBAY)-2001
• designed to address housing deficits for the urban poor.
• Its goal is to achieve ‘Cities without Slums’ by providing or upgrading shelter for people living below the poverty line in urban slums.
Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) 1986
• independent scheme to provide grants for housing construction to rural residents below poverty line.
• Rs. 20000 is provided to selected beneficiaries to build a new home or Rs. 10000 is provided for upgrading existing houses.
NATIONAL SLUM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME(NSDP),1996
• Up-gradation and improvement of Urban Slum through development of infrastructure and housing activities .
• this scheme covered 2401 slums in India.
Local authorities need to be empowered with financial and human resources to deliver
services and infrastructure to the
urban poor.
stop begging –children involved in begging should be
placed in some residential institutions
maintained by government to avoid
the risk of exploitation and health problems that accompany their
lifestyle
Provide education, necessary facilities
and increase employment by
promoting industrialisation at rural level to stop
migration from rural to urban.....
Local governments should develop
strategies to prevent the formation of new
slums. access to affordable land,
reasonably priced materials,
employment opportunities, and
basic infrastructure and social services
Like other infrastructure in India, the urban water supply and sanitation sector
(UWSS) is at crossroads..
*Faced with an increased demand and growing pollution problems, Indian cities are not able to provide services that are adequate, neither quantitatively nor qualitatively.
*Indeed, new investments are required as well as a change in management of the sector, to be able to ensure supply for all as far as water is concerned, and to fill the gap as far as sewerage and sanitation is concerned.
*Service delivery of water supply has not been able to match the needs of the increasing urban population.
*However, a majority of urban population seems to have evolved their own mechanism to gain access to water, not necessarily potable.
The State is expected to fulfill water supply and sanitation services through -
Their own departments,
State level boards and corporations,
Statutory and non-statutory bodies at the city level, and
Urban local bodies.
In most states,the concerned state departments, such as Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), the Public Works Department (PWD), the Urban Development Department and the Department of Local Self government,through their divisional and district offices carry out the capital works.

Recent NBR (National Bureau of Asian Research) publications said that without serious reform to the energy sector, India runs the risk of derailing its rapid economic growth.
Coimbatore businesses everything from car parts to IT services are struggling with blackouts that last up to 14 hours every day.

•60% of India’s Electricity Comes

•We Have World’s Fifth Largest

Consistently Fallen Below Target.
SO MORE NUCLEAR ENERGY SHOULD BE PRODUCED WITH THERMAL
ENERGY.
SO MORE NUCLEAR ENERGY SHOULD BE PRODUCED WITH THERMAL ENERGY.
SOLUTIONS BY THE GOVERNMENT
*Issued a presidential directive to CIL (Coal India Limited) in April 2012, to sign fuel supply agreements (FSAs) with power companies.
*To reduce its coal supply commitment from 100% to 80% in new fuel supply pacts and importing coal to meet production shortfall.
*To pay more attention towards the half built railway Branch Line To Improve The Supply Of Coal All Over India.
We should start awaring people more and more to save energy as coal reserves are depleting.
Electrical Energy can be obtained from photosynthesis which can be used to power devices like Wi-fi routers and it should be made such that this application is accessible to all.
Save energy,use efficient equipments and always check your factor.
Nuclear power is a better source of energy than coal power • Nuclear fuel is available and profitable
• Can be reused. • Coal mine clean up is costly.
• Coal power produces a lot of waste.
• Fission of an atom of uranium produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
•The Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) of India, has so far discovered 44,000 tonnes of natural uranium in just 15 kilometres of the 160 kilometres long belt.
• The limited availability of land in urban areas makes it unviable for developers to take up affordable housing projects.
Unavailability of urban land
• prices of affordable homes are primarily driven by the cost ofconstruction.
Rising construction costs
• high cost of finance is restraining them from lowering housing prices
Limited financing avenues for developers
Limited financing avenues for developers
*EWS( Economically Weaker Sectionincome up to Rs 5000 per month ) *LIG (Lower Income Group- Income between Rs 5001- 10,000 per month)
URBAN HOUSING SHORTAGE :
*Leverage innovative and low-cost technologies
Developers should leverage on innovative and low-cost technologies such as pre-fabrication, which can be used to construct affordable houses
quickly and cost–effectively
*Provide incentives on construction:
Providing incentives which can reduce the construction cost for developers
would not only make the project viable for developers but also make it
affordable for the buyers.
*Initiatives to build talent capacity:
The Government can take initiatives to fill the manpower demand supply gap
by collaborating with educational institutions
* Improve land planning and utilization:
The Government should ensure adequate availability of land for housing and infrastructure by
*computerization of land records,
*Systems implementation of master plans.
THE WAY FORWARD!!!
Govt Policies for affordable housing: –
The National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy,
2007 has sought to earmark*land for EWS/LIG
groups in new housing projects
The Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) * focused on the provision of cash
subsidy scheme to rural BPL families for construction of
dwelling units using their own design and technology.
