Rapid Baseline Assessment - Nagpur Draft Report [1]
1. Project Background
With growing population in urban areas in India, tremendous pressure has been put on key urbanservices and service delivery mechanism at city/town level. In order to overcome these issues at ULBlevel, Government of India (GoI) had launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission(JNNURM) to augment the capacity building of ULBs by implementing the projects and reformsacross the selected ULBs in India.While there has been good progress in implementation of reforms at policy level at state and centrallevel. However, Institutional strengthening and capacity buildings initiatives are yet to be initiated inmost of the ULBs. Further, the service levels are not up to the mark in most of the ULBs. The need ofthe hour is to focus on capacity building aspects at ULB level to improve the service deliverymechanism and enhance the revenue improvement measures to make the ULBs self-sustainable.
1.1 CBUD Project
In order to give an impetus to reforms under JNNURM, the MoUD and Ministry of Housing and UrbanPoverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) had launched a new project called Capacity Building of UrbanDevelopment (CBUD ). The project had been launched with support from The World Bank. Theproject has following three components:
1. Capacity Building for Strengthened Urban Management . This component is aligned withthe infrastructure and governance sub-mission of JNNURM and will thus support technicalassistance across the several urban management topics.
2. Capacities Building for Effective Urban Poverty Monitoring and Alleviation. Thesecapacity building initiatives are aligned with the basic services to the urban poor sub-mission.They reflect the need for building information systems, sharing experiences, and designingstrategies on urban poverty alleviation.
3. Implementation Support. This component will support a national Project Management Unit(PMU) for providing overall technical and managerial support during the implementation of theProgramme. The PMU will have a critical role in promoting and support the project.
Under the CBUD project, MoUD had initiated various studies such as preparation of CDPs, CSPs,training needs assessment, transport related studies, reduction of non-revenue water related studies,city and zonal support studies etc. In particular, the study on Rapid Baseline Assessment precedes allthese studies.
1.2 Rapid Baseline Assessment
In order to provide a baseline for project implementation & broadly identify the capacity gaps andtraining needs, MoUD initiated the whole process with a Rapid Assessment of the status of the ULBsselected for participation in the CBUD project.The Rapid Baseline Assessment has majorly two-fold objectives,
Firstly to set up a baseline of the 30 cities. This baseline would be helpful for MoUD tomonitor the progress in the city under the CBUD programme in mid and long term and
Secondly to identify the capacity gaps in implementing the reforms and service deliverybenchmarks and identifying areas of intervention and the support to be provided to utilities.
The study targeted to cut across the four major interrelated aspects mentioned below:
1. Municipal Financial Management;2. Municipal Governance;

Ministry of Urban Development
[2] Rapid Baseline Assessment of Nagpur Draft Report
3. Urban Planning and Land use; and4. Urban Service Delivery.
To undertake this study, MoUD appointed CRISIL Risk & Infrastructure Solution Limited (CRIS) asconsultant to carry out rapid assessment for 30 selected ULBs across the county. As part of the study,
CRIS followed the scope of work as defined in the ToR.
1.3 Brief Approach and Methdology
The progress of implementation of the reforms and poverty alleviation programmes were taken intoconsideration while studying each of the ULBs to gain an understanding on the quality and efficiencyof Urban Management mechanisms and to further propose interventions to enhance the ULBsperformance.The four Functional Areas are interrelated and have significant impact on each other. Each of theseFunctional Areas was dealt individually before they were integrated to realize the overall Goal of theProject. A Part -to-Whole approach was adopted to ensure clarity of tasks and activities proposed tostrengthen each of the Functional Areas. The flowchart below illustrates the overall frameworkadopted to achieve the goal of the assignment at hand.

2.6 Key issues
2.6.1 Municipal Governance
Around 30% of the sanctioned posts are vacant, thus the existing staff members are given
multiple charges. This is affecting the service delivery.
As NMC has a transfer policy, under which transfer are taken place within the department on
regular basis. However, there is no handholding support and training to the staff on the new
role and responsibilities. This is resulting into poor performance of the staff.
There is no review and appraisal process and discussion with the employee on their
performance, which is one of major area of concern.
There is no job card defined. Hence, there is lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities at the
key positions; leading to accountability issues.
There is no monitoring system to track the status of the key services as against the timelines
mentioned in the citizens charter.
There is no proper monitoring system to track the status of complaints. Hence, the complaintsare not attended to within the prescribed time;
There is no adequate IT infrastructure and trainings to the staff and hence most of the staff
lacks basic computer skills.
It is also understood that the majority of the staff do not have exposure to the relevant acts,
policies, guidelines for administrative works.
NMC has not carried out training needs assessment; there is no training curriculum and
budget for trainings. Also, there are no initiatives for the skill development of the staff. Thus,
the teams are updated about new technologies; best practices implemented elsewhere.
2.6.2 Municipal Financial Management
The data entries are not carried out properly in the DEAS system . Thus, the balance sheets
are not reflecting the actual financial status of NMC.
The data entry operators are not skilled. Thus, data entries in the DEAS system irregular and
inaccurate and the staff or contract employees are not trained on DEAS.
Valuations of assets is still pending as a result, finalization of the final balance sheet has been
delayed.
8/11/2019 18 Nagpur Draft Report
26/129
Ministry of Urban Development
Rapid Baseline Assessment - Nagpur Draft Report [17]
There is no proper coordination between the accounts and estate department for valuation of
assets. Hence, the process has been delayed, which is affecting the overall progress of the
balance sheet preparation.
There is a shortage of manpower and lack of computer skills among the staff in the accounts
department. Thus, there is inefficiency in the account department to implement new
accounting system.
There were multiple property taxation systems (base rate and ARV) in place. This has
affected the overall collection efficiency of property tax.
Non-technical staff are deputed to assess the properties as a result, there are number of
errors in assessment and valuation of the tax.
On an average, 4,000 properties are being handled by one revenue inspector/tax collector.
Its an over load due to which they are not able to cover all properties in time.
Property tax department is not in a position to complete the revaluation of all the properties.So far, only 1.30 lakhs (around 26%) properties were revalued.
As recovery is given priority over assessment its being getting delayed.
Though the department has a centralized computer section, which generates demand notices
for all the zones. It takes almost three months to generate and deliver the same to the
respective zones.
Most of the postal addresses of the properties are not updated in the system and hence the
deliver is by hand to most of house.
NMC has replaced the Octroi with Local Body Tax (LBT); Octroi used to contribute around
60%-70% to the own source of revenues, while currently revenues from LBT is very nominal.
Which if not increased, NMC may face financial crunch. In addition there is strong agitation
against the implementation of LBT from local commercial vendors and traders.
2.6.3 Urban Service Delivery
Water supply
NMC is implementing the water supply projects under JNNURM. However, the project outcomes
are yet to be achieved due to delay in implementation of the projects. Following are the current
service levels in.
LPCD is 101
Metering of water connections - 28%.
NRW is 47.8% due transmission and distribution losses
24 x 7 water supply project implementation has been delayed on account of coordination
between NMC and the private operator, noncompliance of terms and conditions of the
agreement
Sewerage
There is no dedicated staff/department for sewerage at NMC.
8/11/2019 18 Nagpur Draft Report
27/129
Ministry of Urban Development
[18] Rapid Baseline Assessment of Nagpur Draft Report
NMC does not have adequate sewerage treatment facilities in the city for treatment and
disposal of the sewage generated in the city.
Solid waste is dumped into the open channels in the city leading to blockage of open
channels.
Solid waste management
There is no segregation of waste at source.
There is no awareness among the citizens regarding segregation of waste.
There are no transfer stations within the city. Hence, the waste is transferred in multiple
vehicles. Further, this is leading to higher O&M expenditure on transportation of the waste.
There are no user charges on SWM services. Hence, there is no cost recovery on SWM
services.
Storm water drainage and roads
Only 50-60% of the roads are covered with storm-water drains. There are number of water logging areas in the city.
Urban poor
Lack of complete database on various aspects of urban poor including number of slums, slum
population, access to services like water and sanitation, livelihood, etc. This is further
affecting the identification of the projects for the urban poor.
There is no adequate budget provision for creation of infrastructure in urban poor areas.
2.6.4 Urban Planning
There is no coordination between the authorities regarding implementation of the master plan.
Urban planning function is carried out by NIT without any consultation with NMC.
DCR rules are prepared without any consultations with NMC.
2.7 Capacity Building

Looking to the population numbers and growth rate, the main reason for increase in the population is
natural growth. Even though Nagpur being base for various economic activities, home to much-
planned MIHAN projects and having potential for the development of IT parks; its population trend is

4. Urban Governance
This chapter would briefly elaborate on the urban governance status in NMC, the role of NMC and
parastatals in service delivery, the status of human resources along with trainings and requirements,
and further, key issues concerning urban governance at NMC. Based on the assessment of current
situation of urban governance in Nagpur, key issues and recommendations have been provided at the

The ULBs have been performing their roles and responsibilities, as laid down by the state
governments through their respective Acts. In the case of the ULBs in Maharashtra, these are the
Maharashtra Municipality Act 2012, Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act 2012 and BPMC Act
1948.
4.1 Existing status
The city administration is vested with NMC. The total area within the Municipal Corporations limit is
217.56 sq km. The organizational setup of the NMC comprises a political wing and an executive wing.
The political wing consists of elected candidates from 145 different wards in the city and is headed by
the mayor. The executive wing comprises various administrative wings, headed by a Municipal
Commissioner, who acts upon the decisions of the General Body and manages the day-to-day
functioning of the Corporation.
NMC is solely responsible for providing the basic services within its jurisdictions. NMC is governed by
the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act 2012. As per the provisions of the Act, NMC is providing
the various services to the citizens along with other key functions. Along with NMC, a few parastatals
agencies are also involved in the provision of the key services within NMCs jurisdiction. The details
regarding the parastatals agencies have been discussed in the following sub-sections.
Nagpur is divided into 10 zones and each zone, has zonal offices with zonal structure headed by
Assistant Commissioner. Main responsibilities of zonal officials is to collect taxes, user charges,
property tax and resolve grievances related to services provided by NMC. Thus, the zonal offices
work as execution agencies in their administrative areas and revenue is collected and deposited
under different account heads for revenues.
4.1.1 Empowering ULBs Status of 74th CAA
In order to strengthen the third tier of local self-government; Government of India (GoI) has amended
the Constitution in 1992 to make the ULBs self-sustainable and bring local participation in the
planning and development of their respective cities. Thus, the 74 th Constitutional Amendment Act (74 th
CAA) has come into force in India since 1992. It clearly provides rights to ULBs to act as third tier of
Government taking charge of all the functions and services to be provided to the citizens in their
respective city.
The 74 th CAA has been implemented in Nagpur by the state government. Under JNNURM, most of
the functions and powers are delegated to NMC. Key important services provided by NMC to citizensunder the functions delegated to it, are as follows.
