Abstract Slum rehabilitation is to rebuild the homes, reunite the community and re- renders the
living standards and habits. The basic objective of the slum rehabilitation scheme is to
strive for holistic slum development with a healthy and enabling urban environment by
providing adequate shelter and basic infrastructure facilities to the slum dwellers.
Urban environment is increasingly under pressure with the shortage in housing
provision. A significant urban population resides in slums. Unsafe, unsecured, and
unsanitary living conditions; lack of basic services. It has been observed that there are a
number of deficiencies in the programme launched by the Government. The problems in
implementation arise both from the people living in the slums, who lack sensitivity
towards the benefits of improvement on the quality of their lives and the implementing
agencies which are almost non-functional. The programmes targeted at this section of
the society need to be made more practical and implemented with more commitment
from the public agencies. To create ‘slum free cities’ in future there is an urgent need for
improving the local government.

1. Introduction
Hon‟ble prime minister in his address to the nation on 15 August 2009 stated, today, lakh of our
citizen live in slums, which lack basic amentias; we wish to make our country slum free as early as
possible in the next five years. Through Slum rehabilitation scheme we have to provide the support
to enable stated to redevelop all existing slum in a holistic and integrated way and to create new
affordable housing stock and envisages a “slum-free-India with inclusive and equitable cities in
which every citizen has access to basic civic and social services and decent shelter, India has
experienced a high rate of urbanization since independence due to the industrial and economic
growth oriented policies.[5]
Unfortunately, the concentration of urban population has been in the large cities. Potential
of employment because of the intense industrial and commercial activities in major cities have
drawn migrants from rural area where no planning benefits have reached. Over-urbanization has
deteriorated the urban quality of life in general. Housing shortage and lack of adequate basic
infrastructure like water supply, sanitation and amenities like health and education and the
unorganized and unplanned development of slums has become integral part of city. The rapidity
and enormous volume of rural-to-urban migration intensifies slum formation. City planning and
management systems are unable to provide necessary facilities and infrastructure to slum
dwellers.[1]
Millions of urban Poor are live in squalid, unsafe environment with multiple threats to
their health and security. They are exposed to disease, crime and are vulnerable to natural disaster.
The percentage of development of slums is always seen higher in our country. Since they are
people with very low income or no income, at all finding a place to live in is a challenge for them.
A slum area is always undeveloped, unhygienic and lacks of important elements that are required
for a hygienic and healthy living. Slums are not „Problems‟ that have to be solved and controlled in
next couple of decades by making urban policies, covering land ownership, infrastructure
provision and other socioeconomic issues. Government has initiating for this. Recently central
finance minister Mr. Arun Jetly has made the provision of „Home to all‟ up to 2022 in budget of
2014-15.Through „Slum Rehabilitation Scheme‟ there is a good chance that the new and upcoming
generation may stay away from slum dwelling. It may be take some duration. The problems
prevailing in slums give us the challenge to rebuild a society.
1.1 Need for slum Rehabilitation
India is the second highest populated nation in the world and forecasted to be most populated till
2025; approximately 31% of population of India resides in urban areas and with 70% of expected
urban population growth during 2000-2050. It will be major contributor in expected urban
population, increment globally, however, still inhabiting about 17% of the urban population in
slums. The slum population in India has increased during 2001-2011, the census report of 2001
shows that the number of towns having slum in India was 1743, and as per census 2011 the number
of towns having slums are 2613, that means 49.91% slums towns has increased in a decade. As per
census 2001, the slum reported towns in India was 1743 with total slum population 5 23 71589 and
as per census 2011 the slum reported towns in India are 2613 with their total slum population
65494604.Thatmeans there is absolute change in 2001-11 which calculated 13123015 population
means that 25.1% decadal growth is there in India. As per the constitutional right (Article 38 of the
Indian constitution) provides that the state shall strive to minimize the inequalities in status,

facilities and opportunities not only amongst individuals but amongst group of people residing in
different areas. It is necessary to give them to opportunity to secure good health, immunity from
curable diseases, employment opportunity. Sufficient and nutritious food, clean water and a clean
environment, capability to protect their children against exploitation and discrimination, their
children should have the right to get adequate education for becoming responsible citizen of India.
The slums and hutment dwellers of unauthorized structures form an integral part of city. They have
a share and maintaining the commercial, industrial and economic importance of city, it is
imperative to enhance their standard of living by uplifting the slum and hutment dwellers from
their present levels thus the slum Rehabilitation is necessary to rebuilt a society and reconstructing
the society that is more equitable where equal opportunities could be provided to all for living with
dignity.
2. Background To The Study
2.1 Types of slum rehabilitation scheme.
Three types of slum rehabilitation scheme are permissible. These types are as per the provision of
different sections of development control regulation. (DCR) Under which they are approved viz.
Provision of DCR 33(10) also called in situ scheme. The scheme approved under the provision of
this DC regulation, the slums are rehabilitated on the same site. Provision of section 33(11) also
called PAP scheme. The scheme approved under the provision of this DC regulation, an owner of
vacant unencumbered land can use it for construction of PAP tenements for which he is
compensated by TDR for land and for construction. Provision of DCR 33(14) also called Transit
scheme. In this scheme, the land owner is allowed to consume the existing FSI potential of the land
own by him. The additional potential of 1.5 for suburbs, 1.66 for difficult areas and 1.0 for island
city. (Only for government or public sector plot) is granted under this scheme the developer
construct transits tenements out of a prescribed part of this additional potential. The balance of the
additional potential is allowed as free sale components. [3]
2.2 Slum Rehabilitation Authority for Scheme Implementation.
Authority under section 3A
i. The state government may by notification in the official Gazette, appoint an authority to be
called the slum rehabilitation authority for such area or areas as may be specified in
the notification and different authorities may be appointed for different areas.
ii. Every slum rehabilitation authority shall consist of a chairman, chief executive officer and
fourteen members, all of whom shall be appointed by the State Government.
iii. The powers, duties and functions of the slum rehabilitation authority shall be-
a) To survey and review exiting position regarding slum areas.
b) To formulate schemes for rehabilitation of slum areas.
c) To get the slum rehabilitation scheme implemented.

making India slum free in five year, this scheme has an initial budget of Rs.5000 crore and aims to
construct 10 lakh affordable houses in the country. Rajiv Awas Yojana will provide the support to
enable stated to redevelop all existing slum in a holistic and integrated way and to create new
affordable housing stock and envisages a “slum-free-India with inclusive and equitable cities in
which every citizen has access to basic civic and social services and decent shelter, It aims to
achieve this vision by encouraging states to tackle the problem of slums in a definitive manner, by
a multi-pronged approach focusing on bringing all existing slums, notified or non-notified within
the formal system. [5]
2.4 Slum Rehabilitation Scheme of Ichalkaranji Municipal Council.
Ichalkaranji municipal council has undertaken a scheme for slum rehabilitation at Jai Bhim Nagar,
Nehru Nagar, and Renuka Slum under the JNNURM‟s integrated housing and slum development
programme (IHSDP). It was proposed to demolish the existing slum and built a new three storied
RCC Building for 1488 beneficiaries of cost Rs.1868.18 Lack plus infrastructure cost of Rs.
1181.51 Lack (Total cost of scheme of Rs.3049.69 Lack). [6]
3. Methodology Adopted By Ichalaranji Municipal Council For Preparation Of
DPR. i. Appointing consultant for preparation of DPR.
For preparation of DPR including slum identification and location, socio-economic survey,
engineering survey, detailed preparation of proposed dwelling unit, layout, and project cost,
Ichalkaranji Municipal council has appointed private consultant named Mr. Prashant Haval
chartered engineer Kolhapur.
ii.Slum identification & location
A compact area of 75-100 population or above 25-30 households of poorly build congested
tenements in unhygienic environment usually with inadequate infrastructure and lacking of proper
sanitary and drinking water facilities the Ichalkaranji municipal council has identified 16 slums in
city.
iii. Identification of Beneficiaries
After verifying certain documents or records of the actual occupier of a dwelling structure in
existence on or prior to 1 January2000.
iv. Socio-economic survey
To derive definition of urban poor based on the city characteristic and economic parameters with
poverty literacy, education, life expectancy and other factors such as child welfare and to define
the minimum criteria for housing and service for healthy living on the basis of socio –economic
parameter of slums in city were analyzed and finalized the beneficiaries by visiting slum dwellers
through related questionnaires.
v. Engineering survey
To make decision for public private partnership in poverty alleviation programme for housing and
infrastructure to make systematic analysis for existing slum and for future projection.
To make decision for Redevelopment of slum either by relocation, rehabilitation in situ or
combination of both or up gradation of slum, engineering survey is always necessary.
Which Infrastructural component have to be provided is defined by engineering survey.

beneficiaries, which has finalized based on socio-economic survey.
9. Conclusions i. Lack of communication between beneficiaries, elected representatives, Govt. officers and Non-
government organization.
ii. Lack of local community involvement in decision-making.
iii. It has been observed that the major reason for not starting work at Nehru Nagar is non-co-
operation of beneficiaries in getting site clearance by demolishing their existing humanities due
to they are not satisfied with multi-storeyed building, they required individuals single floor
building.
iv. Mentally beneficiaries do not prepare to transit during construction period.
v. Slum dwellers do not believe the scheme will completed in certain period and ensuring equity,
transparency and accountability in implementing the scheme.
vi. Beneficiaries do not want to disturb their routine work and life.
vii. Beneficiaries do not afford the rent & amount of construction materials to build temporary
shelter during construction period.
viii. Delay in construction, which have result in increased in cost of project.
ix. No Administrative setup for immediate decisions.
x. No committee is forms including beneficiaries involving them in decision-making.
xi. No willingness has taken in socio-economic survey from slum dwellers for transit during
construction, and to occupy first, second floor in multi-storeyed building.
