Urbanising India

1.1 The 2001 Census of India reveals that the urban population of the country stood at 286 million or

27.8 per cent of the total population. This is estimated to have increased to 350 million by 2010, which is

about 30 per cent of the total population. It is projected that the urban population of India would grow to

about 470 million in 2021 and 700 million in 2041. The level of urbanization is expected to reach 50 per cent

mark in the next 3-4 decades.

1.2 Urbanisation and economic growth are closely inter-linked. Cities are the engines of economic growth.

They are the reservoirs of skill and capital. They are the sources of diverse formal and informal sector

employment opportunities. They are the hopes for millions in urban areas and the countryside. While Urban

India accommodates less than one-third of the country’s population at present, its contribution to GDP is far

larger. Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) estimates indicate that this share increased from 38 per cent in

1970-71 to 52 per cent in 1999-00. The Mid-Term Appraisal of the Eleventh Five Year Plan estimates the

urban share of GDP at 62-63 per cent in 2009-10. The 11th Plan document projects it to increase to 75 per

cent in 2021. Since 2005-06 the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has gone up - above 9%

with some fluctuations. In 2008-09 it was 6.8%. It is 8.6% in 2010-11. As India moves ahead to a double

digit growth, obviously a key policy issue is emerging as to how to rejuvenate and strengthen Urban India,

which will significantly contribute and sustain the economic growth momentum through economies of

agglomeration and other productivity-enhancing factors.

2 Cities and Slums

2.1 While cities are the generators of the nation’s wealth and income, there are large sections of the poor

in cities, especially slum-dwellers, who are bypassed by the process of growth. An urban-urban divide is

emerging as revealed by the trends in Gini co-efficient of urban income distribution encompassing various

monthly expenditure classes. A critical issue of public policy is thus how to make cities ‘inclusive’ in accordance

with the 11th Plan strategy of ‘inclusive growth’, and provide basic services and access to affordable shelter

and employment to the urban poor, including the dwellers of slums which manifest the worst form of

poverty. The backlog and current needs of the poor, including slum-dwellers will have to be addressed along

with those from future urban growth so as to prevent the conditions that led to mushrooming of slums and

haphazardly grown cities and towns in the past. A strategy of guided urbanization will recognize that the

urban poor, including slum-dwellers, numbering millions at the bottom of the pyramid, have a key role in the

development of cities. Their number is so large that even a small increase in their productivity through

intervention by governments will mean that the contribution to GDP will be huge. The urban poverty issues

1 Introduction

need to be tackled from efficiency considerations apart from equity.

2.2 A striking feature of the trends in urbanization in India, as elsewhere in the developing world, is the

shift in the locus of poverty to cities and towns. The NSSO 61st Round data and estimation by the Planning

Commission using Lakdawala methodology reveal that about 81 million people lived below the poverty line

in 2004-05. As per this data, the number of poor in urban areas increased by 44 lakhs between 1993-94 and

2004-05. A large part of the increase in urban population occurred in slums due to natural increase factor

and inability of migrants to find space in cities other than slums. The slum population in the country is

estimated at 75 million in 2001, projected to increase to 93 million by 2011 (Report of the Committee on

Slum Statistics/Census under Dr. Pranob Sen, the then Chief Statistician & Secretary, Statistics & Programme

Implementation, 2010). The partial Slum Census conducted by the Registrar General of India in 640 towns

in 2001 revealed that about 23.5 per cent of the urban population lived in these cities in slums. Further, there

existed several cities with more than 25 per cent of population residing in slums. Mumbai topped the list with

54%, followed by Faridabad (46%), Aligarh (45%), Meerut (44%), Warangal (43%), Amravati (43%), Raipur

(37%), Nagpur (36%), Guntur (33%) and other cities. This is in spite of the restrictive definition of slum

adopted by the Census of India 2001. The Committee on Slum Statistics, referred to above, estimated the

slum population percentage in the country at a much larger figure than indicated by the partial census in 2001

by the Registrar General of India covering 1743 towns- 26% vs. 23.5% in 2001.

2.3 Slums manifest the worst form of deprivation that transcends income poverty. They are characterized

by acute over-crowding, insanitary, unhealthy and dehumanizing living conditions. They are subject to

precarious land tenure, lack of access to basic minimum civic services such as safe drinking water, sanitation,

storm drainage, solid waste management, internal and approach roads, street lighting, education and health

care, and poor quality of shelter. Many of these habitations are located in environmentally fragile and dangerous

zones prone to land slides, floods and other disasters that make the poor residents highly vulnerable. A

significant proportion of the slum dwellers also face social burdens and health problems worse than their

non-slum and rural counterparts. Many civic bodies do not provide the required municipal services in slums

on the plea that these are located on ‘illegal’ space. Moreover, the scale of the problem is so colossal that it

is beyond the means of Urban Local Bodies most of whom lack a buoyant fiscal base and are subject to

severe fiscal stress.

3. Slums and Public Policy

3.1 Recognising the plight of the slum-dwellers accounting for about 1/3rd of the urban population

globally, the United Nations Millennium Declaration 2000 recognizes the critical need for national governments

to focus on slums and urban poverty situation as part of their national development strategies. It articulates

Slums in India

3

the commitment of Member States to improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by the year

2020. India is a signatory to the United Nations Millennium Declaration covering the Millennium Development

Goals (MDGs). Some of the important MDGs in the context of addressing the issues of slums are:

• Millennium Development Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

• Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day;

• Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

• Millennium Development Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability

• Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse

the loss of environmental resources;

• Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water;

• By 2020, to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers.

3.2. The need for inclusion of the poor and disadvantaged sections in the growth process is highlighted in

the 11th Five Year Plan Strategy of the Government of India, which envisages “inclusive growth” as the key

paradigm of development for the country. This calls for a reconsideration of the approaches towards urban

development and the need for adopting policies and programme to develop “inclusive cities”. A strategy of

“inclusive and sustainable urban development planning” which is aimed at creating socially equitable,

environmentally sustainable, economically productive and slum-free cities and towns is essential.

3.3. The major programmes started by the Government of India towards inclusive city development with

focus on slums, including the provision of basic services and affordable housing to the urban poor, are the

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) – Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP)

and Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) compoments - launched in 2005, and

the two schemes entitled Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP) and Affordable

Housing in Partnership, launched in 2009. Together, they address the “supply side” issues of affordable

housing and aim at enabling the construction of about 25 lakh houses with basic amenities for the Economically

Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low Income Groups (LIG) by the end of 11th Five Year Plan. About 15.7 lakh

houses have so far been taken up for execution, all under the flagship programme of JNNURM.

3.4. As components of JNNURM, the BSUP and IHSDP have achieved a fair amount of success with the

overarching aims of focusing State attention on the problems of inequity in urban areas, and drawing budgetary

resources to the welfare of the urban poor. Cities have begun earmarking funds within their budgets for the

urban poor and an increasing number of State Governments have notified regulations for reservation of land

for housing the EWS/LIG sections in all new developments. There is now general awareness that encroachments

are the result of an unrealistic town planning model that saw cities as idylls of urbane living, without any

consideration of the economic profile of the country or the outcome on urban population statistics of


4

economic growth. There is an increasing assumption of responsibility towards the slum dweller, and his/her

entitlement to conditions conducive to a dignified quality of life. States have accepted as the strategy of

choice for land for social housing the ‘in-situ’ development of slums wherever they are on municipal/

government, tenable and unreserved land, thereby avoiding the delay and expenditure inherent on acquiring

or developing new sites, and for the beneficiary, the distress of relocation. About 2/3rd of the JNNURM

housing is being provided by conferring entitlement in-situ and making provision for upgradation of

infrastructure of existing slums. Simultaneously, there is an acceptance at policy level, both in the State and

Municipality, that the emergence of new slums can be prevented only by increasing the availability of land

and affordable housing for the urban poor, which in turn requires that the market-distorting shortages of land

and housing be corrected.

4. Moving to Rajiv Awas Yojana

4.1. Considering the need to intensify efforts and accord a new deal to slum-dwellers, the President of

India, in her address to both the Houses of Parliament on 4th June, 2009 declared the resolve of the Government

to usher in a Slum-free India through the launching of Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY). RAY would extend

support to States that are willing to assign property rights to people living in slum areas and pursue a Slum-

free City Agenda. The most critical constraint to affordable housing and dignified living with access to basic

services for the poor in cities is the lack of availability of land at affordable prices. This is explained in terms

of factors such as lack of ‘legal’ space or tenure security in the existing slums; absence of implementation of

reservation of land for EWS/LIG housing and informal sector activities in Master Plans of cities; and

spiraling land prices that have sky-rocketed on the adoption of land as a resource policy by states and

municipalities. Another key constraint to affordable housing to the urban poor is the lack of adequate credit

flow to the segment at affordable interest rates for the construction of low-income houses which is critically

important for the poor if they are not to be squeezed out of the formal housing market. A further constraint

is the availability of rental housing for new migrants from rural areas and small towns seeking jobs in cities.

Rajiv Awas Yojana is expected to adopt a holistic approach with a package of preventive and developmental

measures to address the issues of land for housing and facilitate the construction of affordable houses for

the urban poor, with focus on public-private-community partnerships.

4.2. Preparatory activities in States to avail benefits under RAY are in progress. Cities are engaged in

preparing slum-free city plans. It is in this context that there is a critical need for building a strong data base

on slums, taking into account various sources such as Census of India, NSSO Surveys, expert group reports,

studies etc. Accordingly the National Buildings Organisation (NBO) has taken the initiative to put all the

available data on slums and urbanization-related matters together in this publication. NBO had earlier brought

out, with the first of its series of publications: ‘Urban Poverty in India – A Statistical Compendium’,

consolidated data on various aspects of urban poverty in India. It was realized that an exclusive Compendium

Slums in India

5

on various aspects of data pertaining to Urban Slums has to be developed. In this direction, NBO has come

up with the present issue.

5. Slums in India: A Statistical Compendium

5.1. To have a good understanding of Urban Slums and to be able to appreciate the slum problem in its

entirety and launch appropriate, timely and corrective steps to mitigate the hardships to slum dwellers, it is

imperative to have a comprehensive database on various aspects of slums in the country. This is essential for

the formulation of effective and coordinated policies at national, state and local level for their improvement/

rehabilitation. Slums have not received due attention in the process of urban planning and have largely

remained an area of neglect till JNNURM was launched. With the Rajiv Awas Yojana, slums will receive

further attention from policy-makers and planners at national, state and city levels. The National Buildings

Organisation (NBO), being the nodal agency in the Government of India for the development of a statistical

system on Housing, Slums, Urban Poverty and Buildings Construction in the country, has made special effort

to create a data base on various aspects of living by slum dwellers including urban poverty. The outcome of

this effort is “Slums in India: A Statistical Compendium 2011”.

1. Slum Characteristics

1.1 The economic disparity between the rural and urban population is a key factor pulling/inducing the

rural poor population towards cities in search of economic betterment. Cities grow by migration, natural

increase and reclassification of rural areas as urban. The migration and urbanisation process, with city

authorities not being able to provide space to the increasing number of poor that cities need, has led to the

mushrooming of slums. These poor quality human settlements extend to public lands or wherever else space

can be found without being subjected to deterrent action by various agencies, even on road margins and

vulnerable locations like river banks, drains, swamps, garbage dumping yards, etc. It would be appropriate to

be familiar with the various definitions used by data providers before going in depth into the details of slum

statistics in India. The word ‘slum’ could be crudely defined as a compact settlement with a collection of

poorly-built tenements, mostly of temporary nature, crowded together usually with inadequate basic services

and subject to unhygienic conditions. Various agencies including international organizations like UN-

HABITAT have defined ‘slum’ in different ways, depending on the purpose and issues under consideration.

However, there are certain broad similarities in definitions adopted by countries across the world.

1.2 The Encyclopedia Britannica defines slum as “... residential areas that are physically and socially

deteriorated and in which satisfactory family life is impossible. Bad housing is a major index of slum conditions.

By bad housing is meant dwellings that have inadequate light, air, toilet and bathing facilities; that are in bad

repair, dump and improperly heated; that do not afford opportunity for family privacy; that are subject to fire

hazard and that overcrowd the land, leaving no space for recreational use”.

2 RGI & NSSO: Definition of Slum

2.1 Registrar General of India has adopted the following definition of slum in Census of India, 2001:

• All specified areas in a town or city notified as ‘Slum’ by State/Local Government and UT

Administration under any Act including a ‘Slum Act’.

• All areas recognized as ‘Slum’ by State/Local Government and UT Administration. Housing and

Slum Boards, which may have not been formally notified as slum under any Act.

• A compact area of at least 300 populations or about 60-70 households of poorly built congested

tenements, in unhygienic environment usually with inadequate infrastructure and lacking in proper

sanitary and drinking water facilities.

2.2 National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), for the purpose of survey in 1976-77, categorized

2 Definition of Slum

Slums in India

7

slums as including ‘declared’ and ‘undeclared’ slums. The declared slums were areas, which had been formally

declared as slum by the respective municipalities, corporations, local bodies or the development authorities.

The undeclared slums were defined as “an aerial unit having twenty five or more katcha structures mostly of

temporary nature, or inhabited by persons with practically no private latrine and inadequate public latrine

and water”. For the purpose of survey in 1993 and 2002, NSSO adopted the definition of slum as “a

compact area with a collection of poorly built tenements, mostly of temporary nature, crowded together

usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities in unhygienic conditions”. The undeclared

slums were defined as “if 20 households lived in that area”. In addition, certain areas, declared as slums by

local municipalities, corporations, local bodies and development authorities, were taken as ‘declared slums’.

3 International Definitions

3.1 Internationally, the term ‘slum’, has been defined variedly in different countries. However, it is generally

identified as a densely populated urban area characterized by substandard housing and squalor. The essential

characteristics of slums thus include high densities, low standards of housing (structure and services), and

squalor. Dwellings in such settlements vary from simple shacks to more permanent structures; access to

basic services and infrastructure tends to be deficient. First appearing during the 1820s in London, the term

‘slum’ was used to identify the poorest quality housing areas and living in the most unsanitary conditions.

Since then the term has undergone many transformations leading to many connotations and meanings. Terms

such as slum, shanty, squatter settlement, informal housing and low-income community are now used

somewhat interchangeably by agencies and authorities in countries. The term used in India include chawls

(Ahmedabad, Mumbai), katras/jhuggi-jhompdi colonies (Delhi), bustee (Kolkata), zopadpattis (Maharashtra, Gujarat),

murikiwadas (Andhra Pradesh) etc.

3.2 A UN-HABITAT review of the definitions used by national and local governments, offices, institutions

involved in slum issues and public perceptions reveals the following attributes of slums (see Global Report

on Human Settlements 2003)

Lack of Basic Services

3.3 Lack of basic services – lack of access to improved sanitation facilities and improved water source,

supplemented sometimes, by the absence of waste collection systems, electricity supply, surfaced roads and

footpaths, street lighting and stormwater drainage.

Sub-standard Dwelling

3.4 High number of substandard housing structures often built with non-permanent materials unsuitable

for housing, given local conditions of location and climate, e.g. earthen floors, mud-and-wattle walls, thatched


8

roofs, etc. – often in violation of housing norms and standards locally applicable.

Over-crowding and High Density

3.5 Very low space per person, high occupancy rate, co-habitation by different families and a large number

of single-room units. Often five and more persons share a one-room unit for cooking, sleeping and living.

Unhealthy/Hazardous Conditions

3.6 Unhealthy living conditions due to lack of basic services - open sewers, lack of pathways, uncontrolled

dumping of waste, polluted environment, etc. Houses may be built on hazardous lands, unsuitable for

settlement, such as floodplains, drains, river beds, garbage dumps, and on areas prone to landslide.

Insecure Tenure/Informal Settlements

3.7 Lack of formal document entitling the occupant to inhabit the land or structure - illegality of living;

informal or unplanned settlements cropping up on public lands or lands reserved for non-residential purposes,

especially for conservation.

Poverty and Exclusion

3.8 Income poverty is sometimes considered a characteristic of slum-dwellers, but not always. Slum

conditions are physical and due to statutory and regulatory factors that create barriers to human and social

development.

Minimum Settlement Size

3.9 Many slum definitions also require some minimum settlement size. The municipal slum definition of

Kolkata requires a minimum of 700 square metres to be occupied by huts. Census of India 2001 requires at

least 300 people or 60-70 households living in a settlement cluster.

4. Operational Definition of Slum

4.1 The operational definition of a slum, originally based on recommendations of a United Nations

Expert Group meeting held in 2002 and subsequently revised by UN-HABITAT in 2008, defines a slum

household as a household lacking one or more of the following:

• Improved water;

• Improved sanitation;

• Sufficient living area;

• Durable housing;

• Secure tenure.

Access to Improved Drinking Water Sources:

4.2 A household has access to improved drinking water supply if it uses water from sources that include:

piped water into dwelling, plot or yard; public tap/stand pipe; tube well/borehole; protected dug well; protected

spring; or rain water collection.

Access to Improved Sanitation Facilities:

4.3 A household is considered to have access to improved sanitation if it uses flush or pour flush to

piped sewer system, septic tank or pit latrine; pit latrine with slab; composting toilet; or ventilated improved

pit latrine. The excreta disposal system is considered improved if it is private or shared by a reasonable

number of households.

Sufficient Living Area:

4.4 A house has sufficient living area for the household members if not more than three members share

the same room. Otherwise, it will mean overcrowding.

Durable Housing:

4.5 A house is considered durable if it is built on a non-hazardous location and is of permanent materials.

Hazardous sites include: geologically unstable areas (landslide/earthquakes and flood-prone areas); garbage

dump sites; high industrial pollution areas; unprotected high risk zones (e.g. railroads, airports, power

transmission lines), etc. Permanency of a housing structure is determined by: quality of construction (materials

used for wall, floor and roof) and compliance with local building codes, standards and byelaws.

Security of Tenure:

4.6 Households have secure tenure when they have effective protection against forced evictions through:

evidence of proper documentation (formal title deed to either land or residence or both) or de facto or perceived

protection against eviction.

4.7 The absence of each of these components is categorized as shelter deprivations. A slum household is

classified based on the presence of one (or more) of the above five shelter-related deprivations. Four of

these five deprivation indicators (lack of improved water, lack of improved sanitation, overcrowded conditions

and non-durable housing structures) measure the physical manifestation of slum conditions. They focus

attention on the circumstances that surround slum life, depicting deficiencies and casting poverty as an

attribute of the environments in which slum dwellers live. The fifth indicator – security of tenure – has to do

with legality, which is not easy to measure or to monitor, as the tenure status of slum dwellers often depends

5. Slum Definition: UN-HABITAT

5.1 Following the Expert Group recommendation, UN-HABITAT has adopted a generic definition of

slum as “a contiguous settlement where the inhabitants are characterized as having inadequate housing and

basic services. A slum is often not recognised and addressed by the public authorities as an integral or equal

part of the city”. For operational purposes, UN-HABITAT has defined a slum household as a group of

individuals living under the same roof that lack one or more of the conditions listed below

• Insecure residential status;

• Inadequate access to safe water;

• Inadequate access to sanitation and other infrastructure;

• Poor structural quality of housing; and

• Overcrowding.

5.2 The generic “slum” definition adopted by UN-HABITAT till recently has been very broad and

differs from the definition adopted in India. One can see the vast difference in the slum population for India

estimated by the UN agencies for the country along with world regions in the past as shown in a dated UN

Report 2001 (Table 1). According to this estimates, the Indian slum population (estimated by UN at more

than 50% of the urban population in 2001) is far more than what is revealed by the NSSO and RGI estimates.

The recent State of World Cities 2010/11 Report of the UN-HABITAT, however, has reported a much

smaller percentage of slum population in India. According to this latest report, India has lifted 59.7 million

people out of slums conditions since 2000 and slum prevalence has fallen from 41.5 percent in 1990 to 28.1

percent in 2010.

6. Report of the Committee on Slum Statistics/Census: Slum Definition

6.1 The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation constituted the Committee on Slum Statistics/

Census under the chairmanship of Dr Pranob Sen, Principal Economic Advisor, Planning Commission, (the

then Chief Statistician & Secretary Ministry of Statistics and Pogramme Implementation) Government of

India to look into various aspects of Slum Statistics/Census and issues regarding the conduct of Slum

Census in 2011.

6.2 The Committee noted that there are significant differences in the various definitions of slums used

internationally and in India. After careful consideration of the various alternatives available and keeping in

mind the need to use a simple definition, which is suitable for the purpose of public policy interventions, the

Committee decided to adopt the following definition of slum:

“A slum is a compact settlement of at least 20 households with a collection of poorly built tenements,

mostly of temporary nature, crowded together usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities

in unhygienic conditions.”

6.3 The Government of India has accepted the Report of the Committee on Slum Statistics/Census and

the definition recommended by the Committee.

1. Slum Statistics in India

The nodal agencies in Government of India for collection, collation and dissemination of statistics

relating to Slum Population and Slum Condition in India are:

i) Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India (RGI) and

ii) National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO)

2. Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner (RGI)

2.1 Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner (RGI) collects and publishes population

statistics as part of the Population Census being undertaken by them every ten years. For the first time the

RGI published the estimates of slum population in India based on 2001 Census. This primarily confined to

cities and towns having more than 50,000 populations. Subsequently, towns with population between 20,000

and 50,000 were also considered for slum population enumeration at the request of the Ministry of Housing

& Urban Poverty Alleviation. Census data relating to slums in the 2001 throw up some interesting light on

the slum population characteristics in India. It reflects the problems inherent in not having a uniform definition

of slums, lack of a proper listing of slum settlements with the urban bodies and district authorities concerned

and lact of proactive action by States/local authorities in declaring/notifying slums. The 2001 Census data

is partial due to exclusion of towns with less than 20,000 population, and slum clusters, which are not

formally or informally recognized if the population was less than 300. Census 2001 data therefore does not

provide all information on slums in 2001.

3. National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO)

3.1 The second most important data source on slums is NSSO. NSSO is the nodal authority in the

country to conduct major socio-economic surveys. So far NSSO has conducted four surveys on slums, which

provide data on estimated number of slums, households, basic amenities in slums, etc. The NSSO collects

data on slums as part of its survey on Housing Conditions and Slums.

3.2 The first Survey on Slum during 31st Round namely “Conditions of Slum Areas in Cities’ was conducted

in 1977 and was restricted to Class I cities. The second survey “Slums in India’ was conducted in1993; slum

data was collected separately for rural and urban areas. The third survey was conducted exclusively for urban

slum in 2002, namely “Conditions of Urban Slum”. The fourth and latest, i.e. the 65th Round Slum Survey

was conducted in 2008-09. Although four exclusive Slum Surveys have been conducted by NSSO, the 31st

round (1977) results cannot be compared with the rest of three survey results (1993, 2002 and 2008-09), as

it was restricted to Class-I cities only. Being sample survey, NSSO data have their own limitations. The latest

survey on Slums has been conducted in 2008-09 and the findings are restricted to ten major states in India.

4.1 Town and Country Planning Organisation (TCPO)

Prior to the release of slum population Census results, the estimates on Slum population of India for

the year 2001 were released by the Town and Country Planning Organization (TCPO) functioning under the

Ministry of Urban Development. TCPO estimated the urban population at 290.9 million and slum population

at 61.8 million for the year 2001. These estimates were widely used for implementing various national

programmes concerning the development of slums in the country.

4.2 State Governments and Urban Local Bodies have been conducting slum surveys from time to time to

obatin data in rerspect of slums for the purpose of planning for national programmes like JNNURM. Currently,

under the Slum-free City Planning Scheme, initiated in the context of Rajiv Awas Yojana, States/UTs are

undertaking slum survey, slum MIS and GIS mapping of slums. NBO has released funds to States and UTs

for conduct of slum surveys in all towns with more than 1 lakh population.

1. Committee on Slum Statistics/Census

1.1 Rapid urbanization in last two decades has seen accelerated proliferation of slums in all developing

countries, and India is no exception. Recognising the gravity of the issue, the Government of India has

launched major national programmes like Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

and recently announced Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) for the improvement of the lives of slum dwellers. However,

these programmes are constrained by the paucity of data, not only regarding the living conditions in Indian

slums, but indeed even the magnitude and dispersion of the slum population. A Committee on Slum Statistics/

Census was constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation under the chairmanship

of Dr. Pronab Sen, the then Chief Statistician of India and Secretary of the Ministry of Statistics and

Programme Implementation to look into various aspects of Slum Statistics/Census and issues regarding the

conduct of Slum Census 2011. The Committee submitted its Report in August 2010 which has been accepted

by the Government of India.

2. Estimation of Slum Population

2.1 The first priority of the Committee was to suggest suitable adjustments/corrections to arrive at the

State-wise urban slum population for 1743 cities/towns in the country based on suitable statistical techniques.

Further, in order to get overall estimates of slum population in the country, the Committee decided to

include rest of the 3427 small towns from various states in this study.

2.2 The Committee entrusted the Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI) with the task

of examining the city-wise slum population and develop State-wise and all India urban slum population

estimates, duly correcting the anomalies observed in the 2001 Census data by the use of appropriate statistical

tools. IASRI was assigned the following responsibilities:

(i) Examine city-wise slum population figures arrived at by RGI in 2 spells – first 640 towns, with

population less than 50,000 and then 1103 towns, with population between 20,000 and 50,000

(ii) Suggest adjustments required to arrive at State-wise urban slum population and for the country as a

whole;

(iii) Develop State-wise and all India urban slum population estimates statistically correcting the anomalies

observed; and

(iv) Project state-wise and all-India slum population as on 1.4.2010, based on the urban population

figures provided by RGI - Census 2001.

2.3 Based on the mandate given by the Committee on Slum Statistics/Census, the estimation of slum

population in the country for the year 2001 was done by Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute

(IASRI). The estimates for the slum population in India for the year 2001 and projected slum population up

to year 2017 are shown in Table 4 and 5 below:

state-wise estimation of slum population in the country for 2001 and projections (2011-17) are given in

Appendix 31 and 32 respectively.

3. Coverage for Slum Census 2011

3.1 The Slum Report based on population Census 2001 published by RGI covered 1743 cities/towns

having more than 20,000 populations in the country out of a total of 5161 cities/towns recorded at the

Census 2001. RGI covered all the notified slums during the census operations and the problem of under-

estimation occurred mainly in the case of under coverage of non-notified slums and non-enumeration of

slums with less than 60-70 households. The Committee on Slum Statistics/Census took the view that for

policy formulation purposes it is absolutely essential to count the slum population even in cities having

population of less than 20,000.

3.2 For the purpose of planning for Rajiv Awas Yojana and Slum-free India it was considered necessary

to count the population of slums in all statutory towns in the country in 2011.

4. Definition to be Adopted

4.1 The Committee on Slum Statistics/Census has suggested to adopt a normative definition based on

appropriate indicators/checklists for the purpose of identification of slum areas and enumeration of

population of areas with 20-25 HHs, having slum like characteristics in an Enumeration Block for census

2011.

4.2 Based on pilot studies carried out by the Office of Registrar General of India (ORGI), the following

criteria have been identified:

• Predominant roof material: any material other than concrete (RBC/ RCC)

• Availability of drinking water source: not within premises of the census house

• Availability of latrine: not within premises of the census house

• Drainage facility: no drainage or open drainage

5. Methodology/Road Map for Slum Census 2011

5.1 The Committee recommended a pilot study to estimate the slum population of one city in 2001 to be

taken up by RGI. This was to identify and mark out contiguous area of 20-25 HHs in the layout maps of

non-slum Enumeration Block (EB) as slum area using the definition suggested by the Committee, in order to

test and validate indicators/slum characteristics identified. If validated, the indicators of slums would then

be used for the 2011 Census to identify clusters of less than 60-70 households that may exist in a non-slum

EB on the layout maps. The contiguous areas having 20-25 HHs and having slum-like characteristics in the

EB of 600 populations may be identified as slum using the layout maps of the EBs released by RGI.

5.2 Once the layout maps are prepared after the identification of EB and house listing operation, a

contiguous area with 20-25 HHs having slum-like characteristics would be counted as slum. These households

and the households in slum EBs would together give the slum population in the country. By this method, the

data on total urban slum households including slum households in urban agglomerations as per Census

definition would be available in 2011 (latest 2012). This method would be employed in every Census so that

the Ministry would have periodic and comparable updates and growth trends. The RGI would share the

layout maps with the Ministry with marking of the contiguous areas having slum like characteristics; once

the layout maps are released before the General Census in 2011, for its use for planning purposes and as an

aid to slum surveys, the Ministry would undertake ground verification of slum clusters within the identified

EBs to finalise the Master Frame of slums in the country.


20

6. Urban Information Management System on Slums

6.1 Every State Government which receives funds from the Ministry for slum development purposes

under any of its programmes, would require to indicate exactly which slum clusters would be addressed and

over what period of time. At the end of the stipulated period, the Ministry would re-evaluate the status of

the slum cluster in order to continue or drop the cluster from its list of slums.

6.2 Since the concept of census towns, by and large, captures most of the peri-urban areas, a combination

of information on the expansion of urban boundaries by the states and the Census data on Census towns

would cover most slums arising out of urban expansion. This would, however, require the development of

methodologies to geo-spatially match the expanded urban boundaries with the census information.

1. Size and Distribution of Slum Population: Census-2001

1.1 A total of 52.4 million people living in 10.2 million households have been enumerated in slums of

1743 cities/towns spread across 26 States and Union Territories in the 2001 Census of India. The non-slum

population was 233.75 million. The slum population enumerated constitutes 5.1 per cent of the total population

of the country. The slum population constitutes 18.3 percent of the total urban population of all the States

and Union Territories; 81.7 percent of the urban population was non-slum population in 2001. The slum

population enumerated was 23.5 per cent of the total population of the 1743 cities/towns having above

20,000 population and reporting slums. Table 6 gives population profile of the country and Figures 2 and 3

provides slum, non-slum population as per census 2001 in India.

1.2 The distribution of the 1743 slum-reporting cities/towns (having a population above 20,000) among

States and Union Territories is presented in Figure 4. Among the States, Tamil Nadu has the largest number

of cities and towns (242) reporting slum population, followed by Uttar Pradesh (238), Maharashtra (176),

Karnataka (154), Madhya Pradesh (142) and Andhra Pradesh (118). On the other hand, in eight States/

Union Territories, namely, Rajasthan, Bihar, West Bengal, Gujarat, Punjab, Orissa, Haryana and Chhattisgarh,

slums have been reported from minimum of 34 cities/towns and maximum 93 cities/towns. In the remaining

States/UTs, the number ranges from 1 city in Chandigarh to 23 cities/towns in Jharkhand.

1.3 Slums in the 176 towns of Maharashtra account for 11.98 million people, which is 22.9 percent of

the total slum population of the country. This is followed by Andhra Pradesh (6.3 million), Uttar Pradesh

(5.8 million), West Bengal (4.7 million) and Tamil Nadu (4.2 million). In fact, these 5 states namely Maharashtra,

Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu account for about two-thirds (62.8 per cent) of

the total slum population of the country. Other nine States/Union Territories namely Punjab, Haryana,

Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh have reported each more

than 1 million slum dwellers in its cities/towns in 2001. Bihar, one of the major states in India, has reported

1.4 The percentage distribution of the total 52.4 million slum population in all 1743 (640+1103) cities/

towns among States and Union Territories are presented in Figure 6. Among the states, Maharashtra alone

accommodates 22.9 percent the slum population of the country; followed by Andhra Pradesh with 12 percent,

and Uttar Pradesh with 11 percent of slum population in the country. In addition, cities/towns of West

Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh

and Orissa, each have reported slum population in the range of 2 to 10 percent.

just 0.82 million slum population. All North-Eastern states including hilly states reported less than half a

million slum population. Figure 5 shows total slum population enumerated by States and Union Territories in

the 2001 Census.

1.5 As a percentage of the total urban population, Andhra Pradesh has the highest proportion of slum

population (30.1%) followed by Maharashtra (29.1%), Haryana (27.5%), Chhattisgarh (26.2%), Meghalaya

(24.1%), Madhya Pradesh (23.7%) and West Bengal (20.8). In thirteen States/Union Territories of Orissa,

Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry, Andaman &

Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Gujarat 10-20 per cent of the urban population lives

in slums. Kerala has the lowest percentage of slum population in the urban areas at 0.9 %, while Assam

(2.6%) and Goa (2.7%)) have a very low proportion of the slum population.

1.6 Figure 7 shows the percentage of slum population to the total population of cities/towns reporting

slums in the state as per Census of India 2001. Meghalaya has the highest proportion (45.5%), followed by

Chhattisgarh (34.5%), Andhra Pradesh (34.4%), Haryana (32.2%) and Maharashtra (31.7%). In Madhya

Pradesh, West Bengal, Orissa, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu more

than 20 per cent of the city population lives in slums. Kerala (2.1%) has the lowest proportion of city

population living in slums, with Assam (5.7 %) and Goa (8.5 %) being the only other states with less than 10

per cent of the city population living in slums.


2. Slum Population in Million-plus Cities

2.1 About 17.7 million people live in slums in the metropolitan cities with population more than one

million, which is about 33.8 per cent of the total slum population in the country reported at the 2001 Census.

In absolute numbers, Municipal Corporation area of Greater Mumbai has the highest slum population of

around 6.5 million, followed by Delhi (1.9 million) and Kolkata (1.5 million). The slum areas of Surat,

Hyderabad, Chennai and Nagpur have more than half a million population each. Except for Patna (3,592)

and Kalyan Dombivli (34,860), all million-plus cities reported considerable slum population in 2001. The

slum population in Patna and Kalyan Dombivili was based on what was reported by the authorities as

notified or declared. Patna represented a case of gross under-reporting.

2.2 About 54.1 per cent of the population of Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation lives in slums,

which is the highest among all cities, followed by Faridabad (46.5%) and Meerut (44.1%). The slum population

is more than a quarter of the total population in Kolkata (32.5%), Nagpur (35.9%) and Thane (27.8%).

Ludhiana (22.5%) and Surat (20.9%) have more than 20 per cent of their population living in slums.

2.3 The concentration of slum population in the metropolitan cities is evident from the fact that 33.8 per

cent of the total slum population of the country resides in these cities. Municipal Corporation of Greater

Mumbai alone accounts for about one eighth (12.4%) of the total slum population reported in the country

and more than one third (36.6%) of the total slum population of the million-plus cities (Table-7):

Four Municipal Corporations namely Greater Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai together account for

20.0 per cent of the total slum population of the country and around 60 per cent of the total slum population

of the million plus cities as depicted in Table 7 above.


3. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Population in the Slums

3.1 Tables 8 and 9 give total SC/ST population and their percentage in slum and non-slum areas in the

country in 2001. Out of the total 52.4 million people enumerated in the slum areas in the 1743 cities and

towns during 2001 Census reporting slum population, 9.7 million were Scheduled Castes (SC) and 1.5 million

were Scheduled Tribes (ST). Scheduled Castes constituted 18.5 per cent and Scheduled Tribes constituted

2.8 per cent of the total slum population. The proportion of Scheduled Castes was higher in the slum areas

(18.5%) compared to the population of Scheduled Castes in the non-slum areas (10.2%), and urban areas of

the country (11.8%).

3.2 The concentration of Scheduled Caste population can be gauged in terms of their percentage to total

slum and urban population in States/Union Territories. The slum areas of Chandhigarh have the highest

percentage of Scheduled Castes (39.1%), followed by Punjab (31.7%). In the slums of Rajasthan, Tamil

Nadu, Delhi and Puducherry, one-fourth of the population was Scheduled Castes. In all 25 States/Union

Territories where the Scheduled Castes are notified, the percentage of Scheduled Castes population living in

the slums is higher as compared to the non-slum urban areas. In slum areas of Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Tamil

Nadu, Assam, Karnataka, Bihar and Puducherry, the percentage of the Scheduled Castes population is

almost twice that of the percentage of Scheduled caste population in the total urban population of those

states. In Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, West Bengal and Jharkhand the Scheduled Tribe

population in slums is more than 50,000. Meghalaya, a predominantly tribal State, has the highest percentage

(58 per cent) of tribal population among slum population followed by Jharkhand (16.4%), Orissa (14.6%)

and Chhattisgarh (8.4%). In the remaining States/Union Territories these percentages range from the lowest

of 0.1 per cent in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and 5.9 per cent in Jammu & Kashmir (see Figure 10).

3.3 Figure 11 gives state-wise population of the SCs and STs in the slums areas of States and UT’s. In

absolute terms, Maharashtra has the largest number of Scheduled Castes living in slums at around 1.43

million followed by Uttar Pradesh (1.21 million), Tamil Nadu (1.17 million), Andhra Pradesh (0.93 million),

Madhya Pradesh (0.76 million) and West Bengal (0.71 million). In Karnataka, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan,

Haryana, Gujarat and Orissa, more than 2,00,000 Scheduled Castes population has been enumerated in the

slum areas in Census 2001.

3.4 Figure 11 shows that numerically Maharashtra has the highest number of Scheduled Tribes (3.4 lakh)

living in its slum areas followed by Madhya Pradesh (1.95 lakh), Orissa (1.59 lakh), Andhra Pradesh (1.53

lakh) and Karnataka (1.01 lakhs). For Punjab and Haryana, there was no Scheduled Tribe population reported

as per the 2001 Census.


3.5 The distribution of slum and non-slum urban population among the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled

Tribes and other than Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes of 26 States and Union Territories brings out the

fact that percentage of Scheduled Castes population is notably higher in slums in comparison to the percentage

of Scheduled Tribes and other populations. Of the total Scheduled Castes in the urban areas, 28.8 per cent

resides in the slums. This percentage is 20.9 per cent for Scheduled Tribes and 16.9 per cent for population

other than Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the 26 States and Union Territories as seen from

Figure-12.

plus cities. Delhi, with 4.8 lakh Scheduled Castes slum dwellers, tops the list followed by Greater Mumbai

(3.9 lakh) and Chennai (2.7 lakh). In Bangalore, Pune, Nagpur and Meerut more than one lakh slum dwellers

have been reported as Scheduled Castes. In the slum areas of Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad, Kanpur,

Jaipur, Indore, Faridabad and Pimpri-Chinchwad more than 50,000 Scheduled Castes were enumerated in

slum areas. As regards Scheduled Tribes population, Nagpur Municipal Corporation accounts for more than

one lakh Scheduled Tribes in the slums, followed by Greater Mumbai (56,567) and Surat (36,236). Jaipur,

Vadodara, Thane and Nashik are the other cities where the slum areas have more than ten thousand Scheduled

Tribes population.

4. Sex Composition of Slum Population

4.1 Sex composition of slum population, i.e. the distribution of population among males and females,

can be better understood in terms of sex ratio. The sex ratio is defined as the number of females per thousand

males. There is preponderance of male population in the slum areas. The sex ratio in slums is 887 females per

1000 males, which is lower than that of the non-slum urban areas (904) of States/Union Territories reporting

slums.

4.2 The slum areas of Meghalaya, Puducherry and Kerala, however, have the distinction of having more

females than males. The lowest sex ratio in case of slum population has been recorded in the slums of Union

Territory of Chandigarh (707). In the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Rajasthan,

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Gujarat, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Maharashtra, the sex

ratio in slum areas is less than 900 (see Figure 14).

4.3 Among the million-plus cities, the sex ratio of the slum population stands at 820 females per thousand

males, against 874 recorded for non-slum population. A glance at the distribution of population by sex in the

slums of million plus cities (Municipal Corporations) reveals that Surat Municipal Corporation in Gujarat

has recorded the lowest sex ratio of 701 followed by Ludhiana (759) in Punjab, Greater Mumbai (778) in

Maharashtra, Haora (786) in West Bengal, Faridabad (795) in Haryana and Delhi (780) (see Figure. 15).

5. Child Population in the Age Group 0-6

5.1 According to the figures reported in the 2001 Census, about 7.6 million children are living in slums in

India and they constitute 13.1 per cent of the total child population of the urban areas of the 26 States/

Union Territories reporting slums (Figure 16). In other words, every eighth urban child in the country in the

age group of 0-6 is a slum dweller.


5.2 Figure 17 gives population aged 0-6 years in slums and in urban areas by States and Union Territories.

At the State/Union Territory level, around 1.7 million children (in the age group of 0-6) are residing in the

slum areas of Maharashtra, followed by Uttar Pradesh (0.97 million), Andhra Pradesh (0.83 million), Madhya

Pradesh (0.6 million), West Bengal (0.53 million) and Tamilnadu (0.51 million). Maharashtra has the highest

slum child population and Goa has the lowest child slum population.

Figure 17 Urban & Slum Child (0-6 age) Population in States/UTs -2001

Slums in India

5.3 However, the highest proportion of population in this age group of 0-6 is in the slum areas of

Chandigarh (20.9%) followed by Bihar (18.7%), Rajasthan (17.8%), Uttar Pradesh (16.9), Delhi (16.5),

Uttarakhand (16.4), Madhya Pradesh (15.9), Gujarat (15.8), Haryana (15.5), Jharkhand (15.5), Chhattisgarh,

(15.4) and Goa (15.3). Besides these, in the other remaining 12 states, the percentage of child population in

the age group 0-6 is more than 10%..

5.4 Around 2.5 million children in the age group of 0-6 are living in the slum areas of million plus cities

in 2001; this constitutes 27.3 per cent of the total child population of these 27 cities. In Greater Mumbai

alone the number of children in the age group 0-6 is 0.86 million, followed by 0.3 million in Delhi and 0.15

million in Kolkata. These three cities alone account for more than half of the total child population in the

slums of the million plus cities.

6. Child Sex Ratio in the Age Group 0-6

6.1 Slum children in the age group of 0-6 accounts for 14.5 per cent of the total population residing in

the slums. The child sex ratio at 921, in the slum areas of 26 States/Union Territories where slum population

has been reported, is higher than 903, recorded for non-slum urban areas of these States and Union Territories.

The highest child sex ratio in age group 0-6 is observed in the slums of Puducherry (988), followed by

Meghalaya (986) and Andaman & Nicobar Islands (965).


6.2 Figure 18 brings out differentials in the slum and non-slum child sex ratio in the age group of 0-6 in

the States and Union Territories reporting slums in 2001. It is interesting to note that in 12 States and Union

Territories, child sex ratio in slums is above 943, a figure which is regarded as average natural sex ratio at

birth.

Figure 18 Sex ratio in the Age group 0-6 for Slum & Non Slum Population in States & UTs

34

6.3 Child sex ratio in the slum areas of million-plus municipal corporations exhibits a similar pattern.

Chennai, Patna, Nagpur and Nashik have reported a high child sex ratio of above 950 in the slum areas.

Besides these Bangalore, Hyderabad, Bhopal and Haora have a child sex ratio of slum areas above 940,

which is more or less equal to the natural sex ratio at birth. The lowest slum child sex ratio of 827 is reported

in Ludhiana, followed by Agra (860), Faridabad (867) and Meerut (868). It is further observed that the child

sex ratio is higher in the slum areas than the one recorded for the non-slum population in 22 million plus

cities. Indore (897) and Lucknow (909) have recorded identical child sex ratio for slums and non-slum

population.

7. Literacy Rate in Slums

7.1 It is noteworthy that in absolute terms only 32.3 million slum dwellers are literate. Expectedly, in

slum areas, males are ahead of females in terms of literacy with 19.08 million male and 13.3 million female

literates being recorded among the slum dwellers in the Census 2001. Maharashtra has the highest number of

total literates (8.24 million) among slum population. The literacy rates are 72.2 per cent for all slum dwellers,

80.1 per cent for males and 63.2 percent for females. The gender inequality in the level of literacy is evident

from Table 12, which demonstrates comparatively higher literacy rates for males than females with a gap of

16.9 percentage points.

35

7.2 Regional heterogeneity in literacy levels has been observed among slum dwellers. Overall the literacy

rate (male and female combined) in slum areas of the 26 States/Union Territories, which have reported

slums, varies from a low of 54.8 per cent in Chandigarh to 88.1 per cent in Meghalaya. All these 26 States/

Union Territories have registered higher literacy rates among males as compared to females. In case of males,

Meghalaya is again at the top spot with literacy rate of 90.9 per cent. Significantly besides Meghalaya, 13

States/Union Territories have recorded more than 80% male literacy rate among slum dwellers. In the slums

of Chandigarh male literacy rate is only 64.9 per cent, which is the lowest among these 26 States/Union

Territories. As far as females are concerned, only 3 states, viz., Meghalaya (85.3%), Tripura (81.8 %) and

Kerala (81%) have reported literacy rates of above 80 per cent among slum dwellers. Chandigarh is at the

other extreme with only 39.5 per cent of its females in slums being literates.

7.3 Among the core million plus cities, Nagpur is the only city, which has recorded a literacy rate above

85 per cent among the slum dwellers. Most of the cities fall in the range of 60 to 80 per cent of the literacy

rates of which four cities have registered literacy rate in the range 75-80 per cent. Comparatively Jaipur, Agra

and Meerut have low literacy rates among the slum dwellers. Male and female literates among the slum

dwellers in Nagpur have been recorded at 91.5 per cent and 78.9 per cent respectively, which are also the

highest male and female literacy rates among the million plus cities. Patna, which is at the bottom end of the

list with only 52.5 per cent of its slum dwellers being literate, also registers the lowest slum male literacy rate

of 56.9 per cent. Jaipur Municipal Corporation area in Rajasthan has female literacy rate of 47.0 per cent in

slums, which is the lowest of the million plus cities. As far as the differential between male and female

literacy rates in these million plus cities is concerned, Jaipur has registered the highest differential (26) while

the lowest (6.3) is registered by Ludhiana.

8. Work Participation Rate of Slum Population (WPR)

8.1 The work participation rate among the slum dwellers in 2001 demonstrates that 33.1 percent of the

slum dwellers are workers, which is quite close to the urban WPR of 32.3 per cent. Sex wise pattern reveals

that every second male in the slums is a worker (51.1%) while female WPR is low at 12.8 per cent. In fifteen

States and Union Territories the male WPR is above 50 per cent. Chandigarh slums have recorded highest

WPR for total (39.6%) as well as for male workers (58.3%) in slums.Uttar Pradesh has reported the lowest

WPR for total (26.6 %) and males (44.1%). Meghalaya has reported the highest female WPR of 20.5 per cent

followed by Karnataka (19.4%) and Tamil Nadu (19.0 %). Uttar Pradesh has registered the lowest female

WPR at 6.7 per cent.

8.2 The main workers in slums form 89.3 per cent of the total workers. In 11 States/Union Territories,

main workers are above 90 per cent and in 14 states, it is between 80-90 per cent, while in only Goa, it is

below 80 per cent. Slum areas of Chandigarh seem to be economically more vibrant with 96.2 per cent main


36

workers followed by Andaman & Nicobar Islands at 95.3 per cent. Goa has the highest marginal workers at

27.1% followed by Bihar at 17.5 %.

8.3 Among the million plus cities, the total work participation rate varies between the highest in Surat

(42.1%) and the lowest in Agra (25.3%). Surat also has the highest male WPR at 63.8 per cent in slum areas

followed by Haora (58.0%), while Agra has the lowest male WPR of 42.1 per cent. Bangalore has the highest

female WPR of 23.1 per cent followed by Nashik 17.8 per cent and Pune 17.7 per cent. Patna has reported

the lowest female WPR of 4.0 per cent followed by Meerut at 4.3 per cent. The percentage of main workers

in the million plus cities range from the highest of 97.5 per cent in Surat to the lowest of 79.0 per cent in

Bhopal.

9. Categories of Workers

9.1 Census 2001 presents distribution of working population in slums among four broad industrial

categories by State/Union Territories. As expected almost the entire work force in slum areas are engaged in

non-agricultural activities, with 87.4 per cent workers engaged in other work (OW) followed by household

industry (5.4%), agricultural labourers (5.4%) and cultivators (1.8%). At the State/Union Territory level,

except Bihar, which has the lowest proportion of other workers (64.4%), in eight states other workers are

more than 95.0 per cent.

9.2 The preponderance of workers in the category of OW in million plus cities is evidenced from the fact

that 95.3 per cent workers fall into this category. Among the million plus cities, the percentage of other

workers ranges from the highest in Kalyan-Dombivili (98.4 %) to the lowest in Varanasi (68.2%). Varanasi

has the highest percentage (29.6%) of household industry workers, followed by Patna (9.5%) and Agra

(8.2%). In the remaining cities the household industry workers ranges from 1.2 per cent in Surat to 7.5 per

cent in Lucknow. Agricultural labourers and cultivators constitute less than 5.0 per cent of the workforce in

all million plus cities.

1. Conditions of Slum in India

1.1 Human well-being is broadly considered to include, not only consumption of goods and services but

also the access to basic necessities for a productive and socially meaningful life to all sections of the population,

especially the deprived slum dwellers and those who are living below poverty line. Such a concept of well-

being also encompasses individual attainments in areas of education, health and longevity of life as well as

a security of tenure and healthy surroundings. In order to understand the magnitude of the problems in slum

settlements, the housing status of the slum dwellers and their living conditions have to be analysed in detail.

In this regard, the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) provides the basic data/information on

slums from various Sample Survey Rounds conducted at different points of time.

1.2 The first survey on slums (31st Round), namely “Conditions of Slum Area in Cities” was conducted

in 1977, which was restricted to Class I cities. The second survey (49th Round): “Slums in India” was conducted

in 1993; slum data was collected separately for rural and urban areas. The third survey (58th Round), namely

“Conditions of Urban Slums 2002”, was conducted exclusively for urban slums. The fourth and latest survey

(65th Round): “Some Characteristics of Urban Slums 2008-09” was conducted for urban slums. These survey

findings show the actual conditions prevailing in slums. In particular, these results bring out the status of

slum dwellers, access to basic civic requirements like drinking water, sanitation, electricity, and availability

of other basic services in slums.

2. Slums by Status in NSSO Surveys

2.1 The NSSO Surveys on Slums conducted between 1993-2009 presents evidence for decrease in the

number of slums. However, evidence is also found for increase in the number of slum households.

2.2 The total numbers of urban slums in the country were estimated as 56,311, 51,688 and 48,994

respectively in NSSO Slum surveys conducted in 1993, 2002 and 2009; thus number of slums has reportedly

decreased during 1993-2009. However, there was significant increase in the number of slum households

from 5.9 million in 1993 to 8.2 million in 2002 (Figure 21)

3. Slum Surroundings, Land Tenure Status/Ownership and Structures

Housing status in slums is largely inadequate and problems include insecure tenure, overcrowding

and lack of basic services leading to deplorable living conditions. While it is empirically evident that it is

mainly the poor rural migrants who are forced into informal, even illegal land settlements; it is also true that

tenure insecurity itself powers the vicious cycle of poverty. The insecurity of tenure along with urban poverty

reinforces social exclusion and propagates squatter and slum settlements.

Slum Surroundings

3.1 The 49th Round NSSO survey on slums (1993) shows more than 89% of the urban slums in the

country as a whole, were surrounded by residential areas, with just 5% and 3% slums being in the industrial

Figure 20 Status of Slums in NSSO Surveys in India

and commercial areas respectively. However, in urban areas of states like Haryana (54.7%), Punjab (34.3%),

and Gujarat (12.6%), more slums were surrounded by industrial areas. On the other hand, 14.3% of the

slums in Punjab and 7.7% in Maharashtra were surrounded by commercial areas. More than 84% of urban

slums were surrounded by the residential areas in almost all the states excepting Haryana and Punjab.

3.2 The 58th Round (2002) slum survey reflects that 80% of the slums in the country were surrounded by

residential areas, whereas 8% and 6.5% of slums respectively were formed in industrial and commercial

areas respectively. However, in states like Orissa (32.6%), Karnataka (19.6%), and Delhi (12.0%) the slums

were surrounded by industrial areas. On the other hand, 72% of the slums in Rajasthan and 65 % of the

slums in Punjab were surrounded by commercial areas. Overall more than 50% of slums were located in

residential areas in all the states excepting Rajasthan and Punjab

3.3 Table- 14 shows the percentage distribution of slums by type of area surrounding the slum in the

three different Rounds of NSSO Slum Survey. As per the latest 65th Round survey (2009) an estimated 82%

of slums were surrounded by residential area. 8% of slums were surrounded by industries and about 6% of

slums were surrounded by commercial establishments.

at different period of time. In all surveys the data shows that majority of the slums are surrounded by

residential area. The number of slum settlements was negligible near the industrial and commercial areas in

1993. The same has changed in the subsequent survey periods of 2002 and 2009; survey results of these

periods show that 15% and 13% of slums were surrounded by industrial and commercial areas in 2002 and

2009 respectively.

Slum Land Tenure Status/Ownership

3.5 The NSSO 58th Round (2002) results give State/UT-wise and All India distribution of slums by type

of ownership of land on which the slums are located. At the All-India level, about 35 per cent of the slums

are on private land and 64 per cent on public land. Almost all the slums in urban Orissa, Delhi and Rajasthan

are built on public land.

It is evident from the 2002 and 2009 NSSO Round survey results that new slums have come into

existence mainly on private lands and the percentage of slums on the lands owned by Railways and local

bodies has remained the same. The percentage of slums by ownership of land has come down under “others”

categories from 17.5 percent in 2002 to 11.7 percent in 2009.

Housing Structure in Slums

3.6 The housing structures in slums are classified into three categories, viz., ‘pucca’, ‘semi-pucca’ and

‘katcha’ in the NSSO surveys. The 49th Round of NSSO survey (1993) highlights that at all-India level, the

dwelling units were distributed equally, i.e 1/3rd (approximately) under each category, viz. pucca, semi pucca

and katcha housing structure. More than 50% of slums had predominantly pucca houses in states like Haryana,

Maharashtra, and Delhi. On the other hand, more than 50% of slums in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar

Pradesh had semi-pucca houses. Katcha structures were mainly found in slums of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat,

Karnataka, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. The results given in Figure 24 reveal that pucca houses in the slums

have increased between the period of 1993 and 2009. The percentage of slums having pucca houses was

30.5% in 1993, which increased to 47.6% in 2002 and 56.9% in 2009. The variation in the distribution of

slums by its structure is quite significant across the states. In some states like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh

and Maharashtra, the proportion of slums with majority of its houses built by pucca materials were very

high. On the other hand, slums of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jammu & Kashmir were far behind and

almost all houses of slums were either semi-pucca or katcha in these states.

Source: National Sample Survey Organisation, NSS Report No.417, 486, 534

Note: Pucca: those with both roof and walls made of pucca materials such as cement, Concrete, oven-burnt

bricks and other such building reinforcement materials.

Katcha: those with both roof and walls made of katcha (non-pucca) materials, such as mud, thatch, bamboo,

tents, etc.

3.7 There has been a noticeable change in the type of structure of houses in slums between the year

2002 and 2009. About 48% of slums were ‘pucca’; in 2002 and the same increased to 57% by 2009. Slums

with the majority of the households living in pucca structures constituted about 64 per cent of notified

slums and 50 per cent in the case of non-notified slums in 2009. Wide variation across the states was

observed in this respect. In some states like Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal and

Maharashtra, more than 72 percent of notified slums had the majority of their houses built with pucca

materials. On the other hand, the majority of the houses in the slums of Orissa, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh

- both notified and non-notified – were built of either semi-pucca or katcha material.

4 Roads & Electricity in Slums

Approach Road to Slums:

4.1 Since slums are generally parts of cities, approach roads to slums are reportedly quite good. In the

1993 NSSO (49th Round) survey at national level, 84 percent of the approach roads were cartable with 69%

pucca and 15% katcha. At the state level, Karnataka, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim and Delhi had above 80%

pucca cartable approach roads. The 58th Round NSSO survey result shows that the condition deteriorated

slightly in 2002, with the percentage of motorable approach roads to slum being 75 percent at the national

level. The 65th Round (2009) NSSO survey gives the same type trend as per type of approach road. The

percentage of pucca roads was 65 percent in slums in 2009 when compared to 69 percent in 1993. The

percentage of slums with katcha motarable roads in 2009 was 6.8 whereas that of non motarable pucca

roads was 18.4 % in 2009 as compared to 5.0% in 1993.

4.2 Figure 25 shows that the percentage cartable pucca roads was almost the same during all survey

periods whereas the cartable katcha roads have decreased by half from 15 percent in 1993 to 7 percent in

2009.

Internal Roads in Slums

4.3 Structures of roads within slums are a useful indicator of ‘inclusionary’ development. The NSS 49th

round (1993) slum survey results show that 47% of the slums had pucca roads and the remaining 53 percent

had katcha roads within the slums. More than 70% of urban slums had katcha roads within the slum area in

the states of Bihar, Gujarat, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Punjab and Rajasthan. (Appendix-76)

4.4 NSS 58th Round shows that 54 percent of the slums had pucca roads while 45 percent have katcha

road within the slum. Majority of slums in states like Rajasthan, Punjab, and Orissa did not have the facility

of pucca roads. States like Jammu & Kashmir, Puducherry and Bihar have marginal presence of pucca roads.

The results of the 65th Round NSSO survey of 2009 show that around 68% of road structures within slums

were pucca. This clearly indicates that the conditions of roads within slums have improved significantly as

compared to 1993 NSS survey.

Distance from Nearest Motorable Road

4.5 The availability and distance of slum from the nearest motarable road were nearly the same

between 1993 and 2009. In 1993 49th Round NSSO survey, 98% of slums were near motarable road

within 1 km., which dropped by 0.07 % during 2002 and 2009.

Electricity Facility in Slums

4.6 According to NSSO 58th Round 2002 results, 8% slums had no access to electricity; electricity

connection for household use was available for 18 per cent of the slums and 69% slums had electricity for

both streetlights and household use. The 65th Round results shows that 65 percent of slums had electricity

connections for both household and street light purposes, while 20 percent of slums had electricity only for

household use. The distribution of slums in major states by usage for which electricity was available is given

in Appendices. The all-India 65th Round slum survey results are compared with 58th Round results in Figure

-28. The overall proportion of slums without electricity has come down from 8 per cent in 2002 to 4 per cent

in 2009.

Drinking Water Facilities in Slums

5.1 Slums surveyed in the 58th round (2002) as well as in the 65th round (2008-09) of NSS were classified

according to major source of drinking water available to residents. Comparisons with 1993, 2002 and 2009

at all-India level are shown in Figure 29. At all India level in 2009, the distribution of notified and non-

notified slums considered together in respect of major source of drinking water was as follows: tap: 78%,

tube-well: 16-17%, well and other sources: 5-7%. During 1993, the proportion of slums using tube-wells as

major source of drinking water was 27 percent and that has come down to 17 percent in 2009.

NSS 534 (2009) 77.8 17.0 1.9 3.1 0.2


The 49th Round NSSO (1993) results on the source of drinking water to slum show that at the all-

India level, around 65% of urban slums reported “tap” as the source of drinking water, while more than a

quarter of the slums were supplied drinking water through tube well/hand pump. More than 50% of urban

slum dwellers in Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu

and West Bengal reported to having ‘tap’ and more than 50% of the urban slum dwellers in Bihar, Karnataka,

Orissa, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh had “tube well/hand pump” as the source of their drinking water. The 58th

Table 21 Percentage distribution of Slums by Major Source of Drinking Water available

in Slum -India.


48

Table 22 Type of Latrine Facility available in Slums (in %) in different NSSO Surveys -

India

Round results (2002) reflect the fact that a larger number of slums - about 78 %, had access to drinking water

from tap. The situation in slums in the states like Bihar, Punjab, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh

were much below the national average, where the primary source of drinking water was other than ‘tap’. The

65th Round Results (2009) reflect a similar situation with reference to the major sources of drinking water

facility available in slums. In states like Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra, 85 percent of the slums had

tap water as source of drinking water. States like Orissa and Uttar Pradesh were far behind the national

average regarding ‘tap’ water facility in slums. Slums in states like Madhya Pradesh (15 percent) and Orissa

(13 percent) were reported to be using well-water for drinking purposes.

Latrine and Bathroom Facilities in Slums

5.2 In a developing society sanitation is one of the important yardsticks to measure socio-economic

development. Improved sanitation leads to improved health, reduced child mortality/morbidity, improved

water quality, environment and economic growth of a country. Continued urban migration, congregation of

urban poor in slums without safe water supply, inadequate sanitation facilities and increasing resource

constraints have led to poor quality of life and community health in slums. Comparative pictures of the

availability of latrines in slums have been shown in Table 22. Slums without latrines have decreased to 15

percent in 2009 from 54 percent in 1993. The availability of septic/flush latrine facility was 35 percent in

1993, 50 percent in 2002 and 58 percent in 2009.

5.3 As per the 49th Round NSSO (1993), lack of latrine facility was observed in 54% of the slums.

About 18% of the slums had latrines with a septic tank and another 18 % slums had flush systems. Service

latrine facilities existed in around 7% of the slums in Urban India. In urban slums of Rajasthan and Uttar

Pradesh, the percentage of service latrine was reported to be around 16.9% and 14.2% respectively. Latrines

with a flush system were prominent amongst urban slums of Maharashtra (42.0%) followed by Gujarat

(24.3%), Delhi (23.2%) and West Bengal (20.1%). Septic tank facility existed in the slums of states like West

Bengal (45.9%), Haryana (26.6%) and Maharashtra (24.6%).

5.4 The 58th Round (2002) NSSO survey shows that the conditions of latrine facility have improved

significantly in slums over a period of time, i.e. after 1993. The percentage of slums not having any latrine

facility reduced sharply from 54% in 1993 to 33% in 2002. In Punjab, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Puducherry

about 80% urban slums had no latrine facility. The worst cases are Rajasthan, where 97 % of the slums had

no latrine facility and Orissa, where none of the slums had any latrine facility in 2002.

5.5 The sanitary conditions have improved considerably in 2009 as compared to the 2002. At the all-

India level, the proportion of slums not having any latrine facility declined sharply from 17% in 2002 to 10%

in 2008-09 for notified slums and from 51% to 20% for non-notified slums. In 2009, the proportions of

notified and non-notified slums with no latrine were very high in Orissa (49% and 36% respectively), Gujarat

(39% and 48% respectively) and Tamil Nadu (27% and 40% respectively).

6. Drainage & Sewerage Systems in Slums

Drainage System in Slums

6.1 The 49th Round NSSO results (1993) on the type of available drainage system shows that in urban

slum settlements drainage system existed in about 70% of the slums with 35% of slums were having an

open pucca system and 20% having an open katcha system; 8% having underground and the rest having

covered pucca system of drainage. More than 50% of urban slums in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and

Rajasthan did not have any drainage system. An open pucca drainage system was available in more than

35% of urban slums in Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra whereas an open katcha

drainage system existed in less than 25% of urban slums in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,

Rajasthan, West Bengal and Delhi. Underground drainage system was found in more than 50% of urban

slums in Delhi, followed by Gujarat 17%.

6.2 As per the NSSO 58th Round results about 13 per cent of slums had underground and 38 percent had

open pucca drainage system in 2002, while 29 per cent of slums reported no drainage system.

The proportion of slums having underground drainage and covered pucca drainage system increased

to 15% in 2009 from just 6% in 2002. The share of slums with open drainage both pucca and katcha has

marginally increased from 51.6 % in 2002 to 52.5% in 2009 and those without any drainage declined to 16%

in 2009 from 29% in 2002.

Sewerage System in Slums

6.3 The 49th Round NSSO (1993) on underground sewer system in slums shows that 83.4% of the slums

have no underground sewerage system in India. Underground sewerage system existed in about 17% of the

urban slums of the country. Only in states like West Bengal and Maharashtra about 20 percent sewerage

system was found to be underground. In Bihar, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh the entire

sewerage system was not underground.

6.4 According to NSSO 58th Round (2002) results, about 22.5% of the total slums had underground

sewerage system in 2002, and 78%, reported the non-existence of underground sewerage system in slums.

No underground sewerage system was available in states like Bihar, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Rajasthan. In

Delhi more than 97% of the slums have no underground sewerage facility. As per the 65th Round NSS

survey results (2009), about 26% of the total slums had underground sewerage system in 2009 and 74%

reported non-existence of underground sewerage system in slums.

7. Garbage Disposal System in Slums

7.1 The 49th Round NSSO (1993) results show that around 35% of urban slums did not have any

arrangement for garbage disposal. Disposal of garbage was arranged by the residents for around 11% of the

urban slums. In 52% of the urban slums, garbage is disposed off by the Municipal Corporation/ Municipality.

NSSO 58th Round Survey (2002) shows that 61 percent of urban slums had garbage disposal by the Municipal

authority. About 31 per cent of the urban slums had no system of garbage disposal. Residents themselves

disposed of garbage in 7 per cent of slums.

Table 24 Percentage Distribution of Slums by Availability of Sewerage System in different

NSSO Surveys-India

7.2 There was remarkable improvement in garbage disposal arrangement by Municipal Corporations in

2009. NSS 65th Round (2009) shows that 65% of garbage is removed by Municipal Corporations and in 7

percent of slums, garbage was removed by residents themselves. The component of other arrangements for

disposal of garbage has also increased to 11 percent across the three rounds of NSSO survey.

8. Education and Health Services in Slums

8.1 As per NSSO results, in 1993 more than 90% slums had schools within 1 km. distance and the same

percentage increased to 92% in 2002 and marginally decreased to 87% in 2009. However, for 7% slums the

nearest primary school was available within 1 to 2 kms in 1993 and 2002; this has increased to 11% in 2009.

About 2 percent of slums have primary school 2 to 5 kms. away in 1993 and 2002. In 65th Round (2009) it

is seen that for 53% of slums the primary school was within < 0.5 km distance whereas it was 62% in 1993

and 68% in 2002.

8.2 The nearness of health centre to the slum was very low in 2009 when compared to 1993. In 1993,

63% slums had health centres within 1 km distance. However, the same deceased to 47% in 2002 and 48%

in 2009. In 1993, for 32% slums the nearest health centre was available within 1 to 5 km distance from the

slum; this was 48% in 2002 and 43% 2009. Table 27 shows this trend.

4 Urban Housing Shortage

4.1 The Technical Group on Estimation of Urban Housing Shortage constituted by the Ministry of

Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has estimated that the total shortage of dwelling units in urban areas

at the beginning of the 11th Plan Period, i.e. 2007 was 24.71 million. Out of this, 21.78 million or about 98%

pertains to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) categories of the urban

population. The housing requirement during the 11th Five Year Plan period has been worked out by adopting

the rates of growth in various parameters of housing shortage on the assumption that such rates would not

change drastically during the 5-year period of the 11th Plan.

4.2 As revealed from Table 30, presuming ‘business as usual’ as the scenario, the total shortage of dwelling

units in cities and towns at the beginning of the 11th Five Year Plan, estimated at 24.71 million, would rise to

26.53 million at the end of Plan (including the backlog).

5. Urban Poverty Trends

5.1 The Planning Commission of India is the nodal agency responsible for estimation of rural and urban

poverty both at national and state level. The Planning Commission constituted a Task Force on Projection of

Minimum Needs and Effective Consumption Demand in 1979 which suggested the definition of poverty

line as per capita per diem intake of 2400 calories for rural and 2100 calories for urban areas (Planning

Commission, 1979). To estimate the poverty line, the Task Force used the age-sex-activity specific calorie

Table 30 Projected Urban Housing Shortage in India 2012


60

allowance recommended by the Nutrition Expert Group and the data on consumer expenditure from 28th

Round (1973-74) of National Sample Survey (NSS). On the basis of this data, the Task Force estimated that

on an average per capita consumer expenditure of Rs.49.09 in rural areas would meet the minimum requirement

of 2400 calories per capita per day and per capita consumer expenditure of Rs. 56.64 in urban areas would

meet the minimum requirement of 2100 calories per capita per day in urban areas in 1973-74.

5.2 The poverty line arrived at for 1973-74 was updated by the Planning Commission using the Wholesale

Price Index (WPI). Based on this methodology, the Planning Commission estimated rural and urban population

below poverty for the years 1973-74, 1977-78, 1983 and 1987-88.

5.3 The Expert Group constituted by the Planning Commission for Estimation of Proportion and Number

of Poor (Lakdawala Committee) in 1989 recommended the retention of the definition of poverty line at

national level as defined by the 1979 Task Force but suggested the disaggregation of state-specific poverty

line in order to reflect the state-wise price differential (Planning Commission, 1993). The methodology

recommended by Lakdawala Committee was adopted by the Planning Commission with minor modifications.

This has been applied by the Planning Commission from time to time to estimate the number and proportion

of rural and urban poor. The Planning Commission estimates poverty in terms of the Head Count Ratio

(HCR) representing the state-specific percentage of people living below poverty line. The ratio is arrived at

by using the quinquennial consumer expenditure survey conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation

(NSSO). Poverty at the national level is estimated as the weighted average of state-specific poverty levels.

The HCR is estimated from state-specific poverty lines and distribution of persons by expenditure groups as

per the NSSO surveys. These estimates are based on the results of NSSO survey. The last two such estimates

have been provided by the Planning Commission based on NSS 55th Round data for the period 1999-2000

and NSS 61st Round data for the period 2004-05.

5.4 The poverty line at the all India level was determined by the Planning Commission at Rs. 356.30 and

Rs. 538.60 per capita per month at 2004-2005 prices for rural and urban people respectively, using Lakdawala

methodology. The corresponding figures for 1993-94 were Rs.205.84 and Rs. 281.35. Based on the poverty

line fixed, 80.8 million or 25.7% of India’s urban population was estimated by the Planning Commission to

be Below Poverty Line (BPL) in 2004-05 as per Uniform Recall Period (URP) consumption distribution

based on National Sample Survey’s 61st Round of consumer expenditure data. 68.2 million or 21.7% of

India’s urban population was estimated to be BPL in 2004-2005 as per Mixed Recall Period (MRP) consumption

distribution. Under URP, consumer expenditure on all items (food and non-food) is collected over a 30-day

recall period. Under MRP, consumption expenditure on food items is collected over a 30-day recall period.

For non-food items data is collected over a 365 day recall period.

5.5 The URP method has been preferred in the past for the purpose of analysis of trends in urban and

rural poverty as the URP-based poverty figures for 2004-05 are comparable to poverty estimates of 1993-94

and earlier years. Table 31 shows the number (and percentage) of population below poverty line in urban and

rural areas of the country based on URP consumption based on official estimates released by the Planning

Commission. The trends in the incidence of urban and rural poverty in India are presented in Figure 39.

As Table 31 reveals, urban poverty at all India level declined by 0.82 percentage points per annum during

1973-74 - 1983-84 and 0.84 percentage points per annum during 1983-84 - 1993-94. However, it declined

at a lower rate of 0.61 percentage points during 1993-94 to 2004-05, the period during which economic

growth proceeded at a faster pace due to economic reforms and liberalization. The number of the urban poor

increased by more than 4.5 million during this period as per the above estimates based on Lakdawala

methodology.

5.6 The Planning Commission had in December 2005 appointed a Committee chaired by Professor Suresh

D. Tendulkar to review alternate concepts of poverty and recommend changes in the existing procedures of

official estimation of poverty. The Tendulkar Committee submitted its report in November 2009. It decided

to locate the poverty line bundle of goods and services in the consumption pattern observed in the 2004-05

NSSO Survey based on the mixed reference/recall period and recommended that the same bundle be made

available to the rural population after correcting for the rural-urban price differential. The Committee started

with the national level urban poverty ratio yielded by the Lakdawala methodology. The consumption basket

associated with this per capita household consumption expenditure was taken as a base for computing urban

and rural poverty for all States. The urban poverty line in each State was computed by valuing the consumption

basket corresponding to national urban poverty line at prices prevailing in each State, taking into account

price differentials between the State and the National level. The urban poverty line thus derived for each

State yielded a poverty ratio for urban areas in that State. The resulting State-specific urban poverty-line

consumption baskets were then valued at the rural prices for each State so as to estimate rural poverty line

and rural poverty ratio for each State.

5.7 As per Tendulkar methodology, at the national level, the percentage of population in rural areas

below the poverty line, which had been previously assessed to be 28.3%, has been reassessed to be 41.8%.

The percentage of urban population in poverty remained at 25.7%. As a result, the percentage of the total

population below the new poverty line in 2004-05, which was 27.5% earlier, increases to 37.2%. The results

of comparison of poverty line and inter-temporal comparison based on Lakdawala methodology and Tendulkar

methodology are shown in Tables 32 and 33 respectively:

The Planning Commission has decided to accept the Tendulkar methodology for the present. The new

methodology will be applied to the next NSSO (large) sample survey data for 2009-10.

6. Urban-Urban Divide

According to National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) 50th and 61st Rounds data, the Gini ratio

of urban consumption distribution (that ranges from 0 with perfect equality to 1 with perfect inequality)

increased from 0.34 in 1993-94 to 0.38 in 2004-05, widening the divide between the rich and the poor in

cities (Planning Commission, 2007). The per capita expenditure of the bottom 20 per cent of urban households

increased at a slower pace than that of the middle 60 per cent or top 20 per cent. During 1993-94 to 2004-

05, the share of the bottom 20 per cent of urban households in total consumption expenditure decreased by

0.78 percentage point, from 8.04 per cent in 1993-94 to 7.26 per cent in 2004-05. In contrast, the share of

the top 20 per cent of urban households in total consumption expenditure increased by 2.47 percentage

points - from 42.81 per cent in 1993-94 to 45.28 per cent in 2004-05. Inequalities in household expenditure

have widened in States such as Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka and West Bengal (see Table 34).

7. Gender Dimensions of Urban Poverty

7.1 The number of urban poor women was estimated at 403 lakhs in 2004-05. Table 35 presents the

estimated number of urban and rural poor women and men and their growth rates for 1993-94 to 2004-05.

As may be seen, the number of urban poor - both under urban male and female categories, increased in

absolute numbers. However, the compound annual growth rate for female urban poor is higher than that for

the male urban poor.

7.2 Table 36 presents the HCR of poverty by head of household in urban and rural areas in 1993-94 and

2004-05. Female-headed Households (FHHs) have been subject to a higher incidence of poverty compared

to Male-headed Households (MHH) in both urban and rural areas. As against the urban poverty ratio of 25.7

per cent for the country as a whole, that for FHH was 28.6 per cent in 2004-05 as per Planning Commission

estimates (Lakdawala methodology). The break-up of FHH in urban areas in 2004-05, as indicated by the

61st Round National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) data, is as follows: widows – 67.9 per cent, currently

married – 20.3 per cent, divorced/separated – 3.5% and never married – 8.2%.

classes in urban and rural areas. As the table reveals, the proportion of FHH increased in both urban and

rural areas between 1993-94 and 2004-05. In urban areas the figure increased from 10.6 per cent in 1999-

2000 to 11.1 per cent in 2004-05. Compared to rural areas, the number of FHH in urban areas is more

concentrated in the lower MPCE categories. In fact, most FHH in cities and towns are poor. Also in the case

of better-off urban locations – in the top 20 per cent MPCE quintile, the percentage of FHH registered an

increase between 1993-94 and 2004-05.

8. Trends in Urban Unemployment

The Indian economy registered a growth rate of a little over 8 per cent over the last four years of the

10th Five Year Plan, marking the highest growth rate achieved in any Plan period. However, employment

generation and quality of employment have been areas of concern. Table 38 depicts the trends in urban

unemployment as compared to rural unemployment based on various rounds of NSSO surveys. Table 39

shows the unemployment rates of persons 15 years & above according to usual status (out of 1000) for male

and female and by category of town.

1. Approach by Government of India

1.1 The Government of India has adopted a two-pronged approach to deal with the problems of slums

and urban poverty in the country: These include the provision of basic services and shelter to the urban poor

and addressing their concerns of skill development, employment and income generation. The first formal

attempt to deal with urban poverty started in 1958 with the adoption of community development approach

in cities and towns through Urban Community Development (UCD) pilot project. This was following the

successful adoption of the community development approach in rural areas.

Table 40 gives an account of the various initiatives undertaken by the Government of India during

different Five Year Plans till the 11th Plan:

S.No Five Year/ Year (s) Major Thrust Areas / Programmes

Annual Plan

1. II 1956-61 Urban Community Development (UCD) pilot project, which was

started in 1958 based on, an area-oriented approach - later

followed by a series of UCD pilot projects.

2. III 1961-66 Major thrust was on housing programmes and co-ordination of

efforts of all agencies and orienting the programmes to the needs

of the Low Income Groups. A scheme was introduced in 1959

to give loans to State Governments for a period of 10 years for

acquisition and development of land in order to make available

building sites in sufficient numbers.

3. IV 1969-74 Housing & Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) was

established to fund housing and urban development programmes,

especially for the poor. A scheme for Environmental Improvement

of Urban Slums (EIUS) was launched in the Central Sector from

1972-73 with a view to providing a minimum level of services

like safe drinking water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage,

pavements, community baths and latrines, street lighting etc. to

slum-dwellers in 11 cities with a population of 8 lakhs and above.

The scheme was later extended to 9 more cities.

4. V 1974-79 The Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act was enacted to

prevent the concentration of land holding in urban areas and to

make available urban land for construction of houses for the

middle and low-income groups.Environmental Improvement of

Urban Slums (EIUS) was transferred to State Governments for

implementation from 1974 onwards.

5. VI 1980-85 The Plan emphasized on integrated provision of services along

with shelter, particularly for the poor. The Integrated

Development of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT) was

launched in towns with population below one lakh for provision

of roads, pavements, minor civic works, bus stands, markets,

shopping complex etc. Urban Basic Services (UBS) programme

was started in 1981 aiming at catering to the basic physical and

social needs of the urban poor with a view to improving their

living conditions.

6. VII 1985-90 Seventh Five Year Plan made the first conscious attempt to

directly address the urban poverty issues. In the very beginning

of the Seventh Plan, Government of India decided to expand

the programme of Urban Basic Services (UBS) implemented

during 1981-84 with collaboration of the UNICEF in 42 towns,

to 168 towns. The UBS aimed at catering to the basic physical

and social needs of the urban poor with a view to improving

their living conditions.Subsequently, as a follow up of the

recommendations made by the National Commission on

Urbanization (NCU), the Government of India adopted a four-

pronged strategy for addressing the issues of growing incidence

of poverty in urban areas comprising (a) employment creation

for low income communities through promotion of micro-

enterprises and public works: (b) housing and shelter upgradation;

(c) social development planning with special focus on

development of children and women; and (d) environmental

upgradation of slums. Based on the above mentioned strategy,

the Government of India adopted a comprehensive approach to

urban poverty alleviation by launching two schemes, namely, (i)

The Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY) launched in 1989; to cater to

the economic needs of the urban poor by providing them


70

employment opportunities through skill upgradation and

assistance by setting up their own micro-enterprises; and (ii) the

Urban Basic Services for the Poor (UBSP) which was a modified

UBS Programme, started in 1990. The UBSP Programme

envisaged fostering community structures comprising urban poor

for ensuring their effective participation in their developmental

activities.

7. Annual 1990-92 Constitution 74th Amendment Act was enacted. Article 243W

of the Act mandated the setting up of elected municipalities as

‘institutions of self government’ - the third tier of government.

The Act envisaged urban poverty alleviation, slum upgradation

and protection of interests of weaker sections as amongst the

legitimate functions of Urban Local Bodies.

8. VIII 1992-97 The Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban Poverty Eradication

Programme (PMIUPEP) was started in 1995 for improving the

quality of life of urban poor by creating a facilitating environment

through community-based planning and implementation. The

objective of the scheme was effective achievement of social

sector goals, community empowerment, employment generation

and environmental improvement. The PMIUPEP incorporated

within itself all the components of UBSP as also the self-

employment, physical infrastructure creation component and the

shelter upgradation components of NRY. The programme,

however, was applicable to 345 Class II towns and 79 specifically

identified district headquarters and hill areas. The National Slum

Development Programme (NSDP) was launched in 1996,

providing Additional Central Assistance to States for the

upgradation of urban slums. The scheme covered the provision

of physical amenities like water supply, storm water drains,

sewer, community bath, community latrines, widening and paving

of existing lanes, street lights etc. and social infrastructure and

community amenities like pre-school education, non-formal

education, adult education, maternity, child health and primary

health care including immunization etc.

9. IX 1997-2002 As per the recommendations of the Committee headed by Prof.

S.R. Hashim, all the three ongoing urban poverty alleviation

Slums in India

71

schemes, namely Nehru Rozgar Yojana (NRY), Urban Basic

Services for the Poor (UBSP) and Prime Minister’s Integrated

Urban Poverty Eradication Programme (PMIUPEP) were

subsumed in a new scheme, namely Swarna Jayanti Shahari

Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), which was launched with effect from

1.12.1997.Programme for Infrastructure Development for Mega

Cities, called the Mega City Scheme, was launched in 1997

covering Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

The scheme of Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana (VAMBAY) was

launched on 15th August 2001 with the objectives to provide or

upgrade shelter to slum-dwellers living below poverty line and

converge the same with environmental improvement of urban

slums. A National City Sanitation Project called Nirmal Bharat

Abhiyan was also started as an integral component of VAMBAY.

10. X 2002-2007 Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

was launched on 3rd December 2005 with a commitment of

Rs.50,000 Crores as Additional Central Assistance to States for

the provision of city-wide infrastructure and basic services to

the urban poor over the Mission Period 2005-12, with focus on

an urban sector reform agenda to be implemented by State

Governments and Urban Local Bodies.

1.2 The initiatives of the Government of India in recent years, including those in the 11th Five Year Plan

to address the issues of slums and urban poverty – affordable housing, basic amenities and lack of skill and

employment opportunities for the urban poor are summarized as follows:

2 Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

2.1 Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) aims at focusing attention on the integrated

development of urban infrastructure and services with an emphasis on the provision of affordable housing and

basic amenities to the urban poor, including water supply, drainage, sewerage, solid waste management, community

facilities etc. The Mission has four components: Urban Infrastructure & Governance (UIG) and Basic Services to

the Urban Poor (BSUP), applicable to 65 cities of national importance and Urban Infrastructure Development

Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme

(IHSDP) applicable to other cities and towns. UIG and UIDSSMT focus on the development of city-wide

infrastructure, whereas BSUP and IHSDP focus on housing and basic amenities to the urban poor, especially

slum-dwellers. The earlier schemes of National Slum Development Programme (NSDP) and Valmiki Ambedkar

Awas Yojana (VAMBAY) have been subsumed under IHSDP.


72

2.2 The broad objectives of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) are:

• Planned urban development;

• Integrated development of urban infrastructural services;

• Effective linkages between asset creation and asset management;

• Ensuring adequate investment of funds in cities;

• Scaling up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on universal access to

the urban poor;

• Taking up urbanm renewal programme, i.e., redevelopment of inner (old) cities area to reduce

congestion; and

• Provision of basic services to urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices, where

possible in situ, improved housing, water supply, sanitation, education, health and social security.

2.3 The Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) and Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme

(IHSDP) components of JNNURM aim at the integrated provision of affordable housing and basic amenities

to the urban poor, with focus on slums. They contemplate the following key reforms relating to pro-poor

governance:

• Earmarking at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing projects (both public and private agencies)

for EWS/LIG category with a system of cross-subsidization;

• Internal earmarking within local body budgets for basic services to the urban poor; and

• Implementation of 7-Point Charter, i.e. provision of basic services to urban poor, including security

of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery of

already existing universal services of the Government for education, health and social security within

the Mission period (2005-12) as per agreed timelines.

The essence of the above reforms are: (i) enabling the urban poor to have access to urban land and

not squeezing them out of the urban land market in the face of sky-rocketing land prices; (ii) facilitating a

dedicated budget/fund to be created at the city/state level to ensure a steady flow of resources for urban

poverty alleviation and slum upgradation, including the provision of land and housing to the poor; and (iii)

providing basic entitlements and services to be provided to the urban poor based on agreed milestones and

deliberately planned efforts to develop “inclusive” cities. These reforms are to be undertaken in conjunction

with other reforms aimed at creating an enabling framework of good urban governance for planned and

sustainable development of cities and towns.

3 Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana

3.1 The Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), which has been under implementation since

1997, has been comprehensively revamped. The revised scheme came into operation from 1st April 2009.

The scheme strives to provide support for employment of the unemployed and under-employed urban poor,

through encouraging the setting up of self-employment ventures, skill development and also providing wage

employment by utilizing their labour for the construction of socially and economically useful public assets.

3.2 The objectives of the revamped SJSRY are:

• Addressing urban poverty alleviation through gainful employment for the urban unemployed or

underemployed poor by encouraging them to set up self-employment ventures (individual or group),

with support for their sustainability or undertake wage employment;

• Supporting skill development and training programmes to enable the urban poor to have access to

employment opportunities opened up by the market or undertake self-employment; and

• Empowering the community to tackle the issues of urban poverty through suitable self-managed

community structures like Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs), Neighbourhood Committees (NHC),

Community Development Society (CDS), etc.

4. National Policy on Urban Street Vendors

4.1 In 2004, the Government of India formulated a National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, which

aimed at recognizing the positive contribution of street vendors to the society and also the promotion of

street vending as an urban poverty alleviation measure. Considering the difficulties in implementation of the

2004 Policy and taking into account the views of the National Commission on Enterprises in the Unorganised

Sector (NCEUS), 2007 report and that the Policy required a supporting legal framework to be effective, the

Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation has formulated the Revised National Policy on Urban

Street Vendors 2009 and Model Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending)

Bill, 2009. The Policy has come to effect since 1.4.2009.

4.2 It is envisaged that the following actions will be undertaken at the State level in pursuance of the

National Policy on Urban Street Vendors 2009 and Model Law on Street Vendors 2009:

• Enacting a Law on Urban Street Vending, taking into account the Model Bill, with the overall interest

of the vendors kept in view, suiting local conditions and also respecting any court decisions that may

impinge on the issue;

• Taking steps to restructure Master Planning laws and City Master/Zonal/Local Area Plans to make

them ‘inclusive’ and addressing the requirements of space for street vending as an important urban

activity through “norms” for reservation of space for street vendors in accordance with their current

population and projected growth;

• Ensuring the demarcation of ‘Restriction-free Vending Zones’, ‘Restricted Vending Zones’, ‘No-

vending Zones’ and ‘Mobile Vending Areas’ in every city/town, taking into account the natural

propensity of street vendors to locate in certain places at certain times in response to the patterns of

demand for their goods/services or the formation of “natural markets”, traffic congestion and other

factors in view;

• Requiring Urban Local Bodies/Development Authorities to allocate sufficient space for temporary

‘Vendors’ Markets’ such as Weekly Haats, Rehri Markets, Night Bazaars, Festival Bazaars, Food

Streets/Street Food Marts etc., with suitable timing restrictions;

• Providing a framework for the registration of street vendors, issuance of identity cards and regulation

of street vendors, including the constitution of Town Vending Committees in all cities/towns and, if

considered appropriate, at the level of wards/groups of wards, representing the local authority, planning

authority, police, associations of street vendors, resident welfare associations, civil society

organizations such as NGOs, CBOs, professional groups, trade and commerce associations, scheduled

banks and eminent citizens;

• Facilitating a comprehensive, digitalized photo census/survey/GIS mapping through competent

professional institutions/agencies to build a robust database and information system on street vendors


76

in every city/town for the purpose of granting registration to street vendors, issuing identity cards

and leasehold rights for the use of vending spaces/stalls;

• Formulating a scheme for street vendors to enable them to earn an honest livelihood without

harassment from officials and with access to civic facilities, health care schemes, education and skills

training, credit and insurance, social security, rehabilitation of child vendors, promotion of Vendors’

Organisations and maintenance of health and hygiene in vending places and vendors’ markets;

• Establishing a State Nodal Office for coordinating the implementation of the National Policy,

maintenance of database, formulation and implementation of programmes for the benefit of street

vendors, addressing the grievances of street vendors and reporting to the Government of India from

time to time.

5. National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy 2007

5.1 The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has formulated the National Urban Housing

& Habitat Policy, 2007 (NUHHP-2007) which primarily aims at providing a framework for provision of

housing and basic infrastructure facilities to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)/ Low Income Groups

(LIG) and other sections of the society at affordable cost. The salient features of NUHHP-2007 are:

• Target at Affordable Urban Housing for All with special emphasis on the urban poor, especially

Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Backward Classes/ Minorities and on empowerment of Women;

• Lay emphasis on inclusive urban planning and increasing supply of land for affordable housing,

removing legal impediments, using spatial incentives like additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR),

Transferable Development Rights (TDR), etc., accelerating flow of funds, promoting healthy

environment, effective solid waste management, use of renewable sources of energy and adoption

of participatory approach;

• Encouraging Integrated Townships and Special Economic Zones that are inclusive;

• Reserving 10-15% of land in every new public/private housing projects or 20-25% Floor Area Ratio

(FAR), whichever is greater for EWS/LIG housing through appropriate spatial incentives;

• Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP): The private sector to undertake land assembly within the purview

of Master Plans with focus on inclusion. Action Plans for urban Slum-dwellers and special package

for Cooperative Housing, Labour Housing and Employees Housing to be prepared.

• Accord primacy to the provision of shelter to urban poor at their present location or near their work

place with emphasis on in-situ slum rehabilitation; relocation to be considered only in specific cases.

• Micro-finance institutions to be promoted at state level to expedite flow of housing finance to urban

poor.

• Focus on detailed city maps to be prepared based on GIS, aerial survey and ground verification.

Efforts should be on encouraging the use of proven cost-effective technology and building materials,

Slums in India

77

developing mass rapid transit system at sub-regional level, and creating green cover in and habitats

cities for balanced ecological development.

5.2 NHHUP-2007 envisages that the States/UTs would develop a “Habitat Infrastructure Action Plan”

for all cities with a population of over one lakh. It also envisages that they prepare 10-year perspective plan

for housing of EWS/LIG. Encouragement and support are to be provided by the Central Government to

State Governments for the preparation of State Urban Housing and Habitat Policy and Action Plan. State/

UT policy is required to provide a road map for institutional, legal and financial reforms to promote affordable

housing to all, especially to the urban poor.

6. Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme (ILCS)

6.1 Low cost sanitation is seen as an important solution to the dehumanizing practice of manual scavenging.

The Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme (ILCS) aims at the conversion of individual dry latrines into

pour-flush latrines, thereby liberating manual scavengers from the age-old, obnoxious practice of manually

carrying the night soil. The scheme has recently been revised to implement it more effectively. The focus of

the scheme is on conversion of dry latrines and construction of new latrines for latrine-less households so as

to address the issues of sanitation in cities and towns.

6.2 Upper ceiling cost of Rs. 10,000/- has been provided for the complete unit of a two-pit pour flush

individual latrine with superstructure (excluding states falling in difficult / hilly areas). For states falling in

the category of difficult and hilly areas, an extra cost of 25% has been provided for each two-pit pour flush

latrine. The scheme is limited to EWS households only and does not entail a loan component.

7 Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP)

7.1 A scheme for Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) has been launched in 2009 as part of the

existing Sub-Mission of Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) under the Jawaharlal Nehru National

Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). The scheme is in response to the recognition of the constraints on

supply of housing for the economically poor categories and is aimed at incentivizing land assembly for

affordable housing for the urban poor in various kinds of partnerships. It also intends to provide a stimulus

to economic activities through the multiplier effects of housing on other sectors of the economy.

7.2 The scheme of AHP has an outlay of Rs. 5,000 crores for the 11th Plan and a target of construction

of one million houses for Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/Low Income Group (LIG)/Middle Income

Group (MIG) categories with at least 25% for EWS category. The scheme aims at partnership between

various agencies: Government/ Parastatals/ Urban Local Bodies/ Developers for realizing the goal of

affordable housing for all and facilitating the creation of inclusive habitats.


78

8. Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP)

8.1 The interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP), launched in 2008-09, seeks to

provide a subsidy of 5 per cent per annum on interest on loans up to Rs 1 lakh taken for housing purposes by

the urban poor, admissible over the full period of the loan. The scheme aims at leveraging the flow of

institutional finance for the EWS (with monthly income of up to Rs 5,000) and LIG (with monthly income

between Rs 5,001 and Rs 10,000). EWS and LIG households can avail an affordable housing loan for the

purchase of house or for the construction of new house under the scheme. Beneficiary borrowers may

choose fixed or floating rates. An additional 1% p.a. (maximum) will be permitted to be charged by banks/

Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) if fixed rate loans are extended which will be subject to review after a

minimum period of 5 years. Mortgage of the dwelling unit is to be accepted as the primary security under

ISHUP. There would be no collateral security/third party guarantee for loans up to and inclusive of Rs. 1

lakh, excluding group guarantee. No levy of prepayment charges would be permitted.

8.2 Under ISHUP, the Net Present Value (NPV) subsidy is given to the lenders on an up-front and

quarterly basis. The NPV subsidy to the lender will be deducted from the principal loan amount of the

borrower, who will then have to pay interest to the Bank/Housing Finance Institution (HFI) at an agreed

document rate for the whole duration of the loan. The advantages of this method are as under:

• The interest subsidy directly accrues to the benefit of the borrower upfront reducing his principal

outstanding amount;

• The EMI for any beneficiary type is lower than in a situation where the interest subsidy is disbursed

through the loan period quarterly;

• The transactional complexity of administering and accounting of provision of subsidy disbursal

through quarterly loan periods as well as cost involved for the PLIs claiming subsidy periodically and

National Housing Bank (NHB) / HUDCO on behalf of the Government of India effecting payments

is reduced;

• The beneficial impact of the upfront subsidy on the acceptability of borrowers should be higher than

in the case of periodical subsidy payment;

• The lenders prefer the upfront adjustment mechanism not only for reasons of administrative

convenience but also for facilitating credit risk evaluation. This is because the borrower’s equity in

the house goes up or the loan-to-value ratio comes down. This should also facilitate greater coverage

of borrowers.

9. Rajiv Awas Yojana

9.1 The President of India has announced a new scheme called Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) on June 4,

2009 for the slum-dwellers and urban poor, aimed at ushering in a ‘Slum-free India’ by encouraging States/

Slums in India

79

Union Territories to tackle the problem of slums in a definitive manner. RAY calls for a multi-prolonged

approach focusing on:

• Bringing existing slums within the formal system and enabling them to avail of the same level of

basic amenities as the rest of the town;

• Redressing the failures of the formal system that lie behind the creation of slums and squatter

settlements; and

• Tackling the shortages of urban land and housing that keep shelter out of reach of the urban poor

and force them to resort to extra-legal solutions in a bid to retain their sources of livelihood and

employment.

Rajiv Awas Yojana would dovetail the schemes of Affordable Housing in Partnership and Interest

Subsidy for Housing the Urban Poor. It would extend support to States that are willing to assign property

rights to people living in slum areas. Property right need not be land; it could preferably be dwelling space.

9.2 As with JNNURM, the goals of RAY will be driven and incentivised by the provision of central

support for slum redevelopment and construction of affordable housing conditional to a set of reforms

necessary for urban development to become inclusive.

9.3 As part of the preparatory activities for Rajiv Awas Yojana, the Government of India has launched a

scheme called Slum-free City Planning Scheme with a view to supporting States and Urban Local Bodies in

activities like slum survey, Slum MIS, GIS mapping of slums, GIS-MIS integration and preparation of Slum-

free City and State Plans.

10 11th Five-Year Plans: Strategy

10.1 The 11th Five Year Plan has adopted ‘inclusive growth’ as the dominant paradigm for India’s

development. The monitorable socio-economic targets for the 11th Five Year Plan, set out by the Planning

Commission as part of the inclusive growth strategy, include the following:

• Accelerate the growth rate of GDP from 8% to 10% and then maintain GDP growth at 10% in the

12th Plan in order to double the per capita income by 2016-2017;

• Increase the agricultural GDP growth rate to 4% per year to ensure a broader spread of benefits;

• Create 70 million new employment opportunities;

• Reduce educated unemployment to below 5%;

• Raise real wage rate of unskilled workers by 20 percent;

• Reduce the headcount ratio of consumption poverty by 10 percentage points.

As may be seen, employment creation, reduction in unemployment, raising real wages of unskilled

workers through skill development and reducing poverty are among the core objectives of the 11th Five Year

Plan.


80

10.2 The 11th Five Year Plan has identified the following primary causes of urban poverty and growth in

slums:

i) Structural - which include socially constructed constraints to opportunities for low-income groups;

ii) Influx of a large number of workers to cities without commensurate job opportunities and availability

of housing and basic amenities;

iii) High cost of living, including the cost of health care and medical facilities, housing, transport and

education;

iv) Lack of urban planning, especially for housing low-income categories and the provision of land for

informal sector activities;

v) Absence of adequate regulation to protect the economic interest of the poor; and

vi) Lack of involvement of the poor in urban planning and developmental processes.

10.3 The 11th Five Year Plan has adopted the objectives of urban poverty alleviation and slum development/

upgradation as part of the strategy of ‘inclusive growth’ (see Boxes 1 & 2). ‘Inclusive cities’ are needed as

key instruments of ‘inclusive growth’. The development of inclusive cities needs meticulous and ‘informed’

planning, policy-making, programme formulation and implementation based on authentic and reliable data.

Box 1

11th Plan: Objective for Urmban Poverty Alleviation
