1. Delhi & DDA A Historical Perspective

An ancient historical city of myths and legends, Delhi was once a barren piece of land developed by the Pandavas as their capital Indraprastha. Over centuries, Delhi has seen many empires come and go in its evolution as the global metropolis it is today. It is a city where the past co-exists with the present, where new age skyscrapers stand guard over monuments resplendent in their timeless, medieval, ancient glory. Throughout its history, Delhi has been invaded and ruined, built, destroyed and then rebuilt again. A trip around its forts and archaeological sites is all that it takes to reveal the city’s inherent charm and its infinite attractions.

A succession of emperors and empires starting with Qutab-ud-din to Khiljis and Tuglaq to Mughals ensured that Delhi added many dramatic chapters to its history. The city was passed on to the British empire when they shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911. The prestige it earned then continues till date as Delhi remains the celebrated capital of independent India. Initially Northern Ridge was proposed as the capital of Delhi but was later changed to the location around Raisina Hills. But it was Edward Lutyens and Herbert Baker – renowned British town planners, who gave Delhi its unique character and grandeur as a metropolis when they drew the blueprint of New Delhi in 1912.

In 1922 a tiny Nazul office, consisting of 10 to 12 officials, was set up in the collectorate of Delhi, the first Authority to regulate the planned development of the city. In 1937, the Nazul office was upgraded to an Improvement Trust, constituted under the provisions of the United Provinces Improvement Act, 1911, to control building operations and regulate land usage. In 1947, when India gained its independence, Delhi witnessed a vast inflow of migrants. Its population shot up from 7 lakh to 17 lakh leading to critical shortage of urban infrastructure and virtual collapse of civic services. A large number of migrants were forced to occupy open spaces. This paved a new direction and need for planned development of the city.

Delhi Improvement Trust and Municipal Body, the two local bodies at the time, were not quite equipped to cope up with the changing scenario. In 1950, the central government appointed a committee under the chairmanship of G. D. Birla to plan and check Delhi’s rapid and haphazard growth. This committee recommended a single planning & controlling Authority for all urban areas of Delhi. Consequently, the Delhi Development (Provisional) Authority (DDPA) was constituted by promulgating the Delhi (Control of Building Operations) Ordinance, 1955 (replaced by the Delhi Development Act, 1957) with the primary objective of ensuring the development of Delhi in accordance with a plan. Thereafter on 27th December, 1957 Delhi Development Authority acquired its present name and assumed its historic responsibility as the 9th builder of Delhi.

At its inception, DDA had no yardsticks or plans to follow. Thereafter, it formulated the Master Plan for Delhi in 1962 with perspective up to 1982, for an organised and structured growth of the city. Later, this Master Plan became the benchmark and blueprint for other cities to follow. The key features of this Master Plan envisaged identifying land that could be developed

into residential areas and create self-contained colonies by providing ample space and support infrastructure for commercial use as well. This Master Plan was extensively revised with perspective up to 2001 and was adopted in 1990. It was further modified extensively keeping in mind vision and policy guidelines for perspective period up to 2021 and was notified on 7th February, 2007. To adapt to the changing times the Master Plan was to be reviewed at five year intervals.

With its team of world class town planners, DDA gradually transformed Delhi into a global metropolis. Besides introducing the Master Plan, DDA also pioneered several landmark initiatives that today serve as benchmarks in India’s urban development. DDA also formulates zonal plans, action area plans, urban extension projects. The spheres covered include housing schemes, commercial complexes, office spaces, land development, transportation, infrastructure, recognition and preservation of heritage sites in Delhi, sports complexes, play grounds, golf courses, sustaining the environment, retaining green belts and forests, etc. DDA’s thoughtful initiative and efforts have led to Delhi being recognized as one of the greenest capitals of the world. DDA is credited for having developed 5,050 hectares of greens including 4 regional parks, 25 city forests, 111 district parks, 255 neighbourhood parks, 15 sports complexes, 3 mini sports complexes, 2 golf courses, 11 mini football grounds and 26 play-fields in and around Delhi.

In addition to the creation of verdant green belts, DDA has also stepped forward to nurture the future of natural resources and greenery of the city by setting up the Delhi Biodiversity Foundation. A key objective of the Foundation is to retain the rich ecological and natural biodiversity of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. This Foundation has set up the first of its kind biodiversity parks, 6 of which will eventually be developed by DDA with technical inputs by a team of scientists who have specialised in the areas of biology, ecology and wildlife.

To lend Delhi its global character, DDA has gone well beyond its mandate of urban infrastructure development to address problems related to transportation and daily commuting of the citizens. DDA has set up the Unified Traffic and Transport Infrastructure Planning and Engineering Centre (UTTIPEC) for planning roads, highways and related infrastructure to reduce congestion and enhance mobility of Delhi’s burgeoning traffic. DDA had also modernised its logistics to introduce online services in order to facilitate better services, quicker turnaround time and transparent operations across services rendered to the public.

The cumulative efforts of DDA’s initiatives and achievements have visibly transformed the city into a dynamic, vibrant, global metropolitan city that’s seamlessly changing, adapting, growing and glowing as the pride of India.

2.1 The year 2013-14 unfolded relentless development work initiated by DDA and expansion of the city limits as per Master Plan-2021 provisions, by developing and creating the physical infrastructure such as roads, sewerage, drainage, water supply, power lines and recreational facilities etc. A number of policies have been notified, as stipulated in MPD-2021, with several more in progress at various approval stages.

Policies regarding ‘Regulation for Regularisation of Farm Houses in Delhi’; ‘The (permission of banquet) Halls Regulation, 2010’; ‘Regulation for Regularisation of Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi’ have been formulated and notified. Other policies as per the MPD-2021 such as ‘Regularisation of Temporary Cinemas’; ‘Policy of Land Assembly Based Land Pooling;‘ ‘Policy Formulation for Regularisation of Godowns in Urbanisable Areas’ of GNCTD’ are under process.

To bring more transparency in various procedures and processes, steps have been taken to launch various services online. Conversion of group housing flats and DDA flats from lease hold to free hold has been made online. Through web-enabled application developed in-house, allottees can now apply online to get their flats converted from lease hold to free hold. Similarly the booking of DDA parks, community halls and vacant sites to hold social and religious functions has also been computerized with implementation of online booking.

9.5 Landscape and Environmental Planning Unit

Delhi is spread over an area of 1,497 km, it is one of the greenest metros in the country. The city has ex-perienced tremendous growth in the recent times, with increased pressure on its open spaces. Delhi Development Authority, the first urban develop-ment Authority in India, has played a key role in overall development and management of its green spaces, with conscious efforts towards the devel-opment of open spaces as regional parks, district parks, green belts and neighbourhood greens etc. With approx. 3,800 small and big parks under its ju-risdiction, DDA has kept its commitment of up-gra-dation and maintenance of green areas, which form the lungs of the city, with its recent efforts towards the development of biodiversity parks, river front development project, reclamation of sanitary land-fill sites, rejuvenation of water bodies and revival of lakes etc.

DDA has promoted conservation of natural fea-tures like the river and ridge, has developed green belts, theme parks, urban woodlands, green areas around monuments, biodiversity parks etc. which are being designed by the landscape unit of DDA. This encompasses-

Designing and policy decision related to regional parks as per norms laid down in the Master Plan.

Designing of all the district parks under the jurisdiction of DDA, along with neighbourhood parks, play-fields, children parks.

Special projects like biodiversity parks, river front development, reclamation of sanitary landfill sites- lndraprastha Park, Aastha Kunj and heritage projects like Tughlaqabad have also been

Aravalli Biodiversity Park

36

taken up by the landscape unit. The concept of water harvesting and conservation of rainwater, recharging of ground-water aquifers is also an integral part of planning of various greens.

In the process of designing and up-gradation of green areas, efforts have been put to incorporate design features for differently able people. DDA has considered and has been able to integrate such special features in their landscape design. These de-sign features are introduced in entrance plaza, kids play area, sitting area and pathways. For exam-ple entrance plaza of Indraprastha Park provides ramps for the ease of access to all people with spe-cial needs.

The Sensory Park in Dwarka is an example of its kind. The park has been designed for kids who are differently able so that they can play with other children. The design introduced elements like sto-ry maze, butterfly park, horticulture therapy area, herbal garden, splash pool, small orchard, special-ised play equipment for (special need) children, fragrant Zone in between the activities, ramp for wheel chair, railings with children friendly design, sand play etc. Thus, attempting to improve the chil-dren’s quality of life and health as well as create op-portunities for them to develop social abilities and moral skills.

The green areas of DDA are to be up-graded as per new policy with consideration to provide facil-

ities for the people with special needs. The toilets has been designed with the facilities for physically challenged people like access ramps, manoeuvring space etc.

14. Quality Assurance Cell

14.1 Delhi Development Authority is committed to provide quality products at reasonable cost to the customers, keeping in mind “the customer is supreme and should be benefited”. The quality is therefore drilled not only into activities of various serving sections of DDA but also the quality in engineering and horticulture wings for all construction and development works.

14.2 Quality of construction is supervised and monitored regularly by JE/AE/ EE at field level and checked internally at the level of SE/CE and externally at the level of QA cell of DDA by conducting periodical inspections to ensure that the works are executed strictly in accordance with contract conditions, specifications and drawings.

14.3 The QA cell, created in 1982, includes 9 JE’s, 10 AEs (8-civil and 2 elect.); 7 EEs (6-civil and 1-elect.), 1AD(Hort.) and one SE headed by CE(QAC). The cell is playing vital role in quality assurance, which oversees not only the quality of material and workmanship but also the quality of planning, designing contract documents, specifications etc. and issues necessary guidelines, circulars etc. from time to time. To enforce the compliance of observations made by Third Party Quality Assurance Agencies, Circular No. 213 has been issued by QAC wherein QAC is also to monitor inspection reports of TPQA.

For major works a system of third party inspection has been introduced and agencies like CRRI,. NCCBM, IIT, RITES, Sriram Institute for Industrial Research etc. have also been engaged as consultants. QAC is also associating to the third party in taking 10% of total samples to be conducted on these works to ensure the quality of material is being used .

14.4 The major projects are inspected by QA cell at least twice i.e. at foundation stage, super-structure stage and third time with the approval of EM/DDA or on a receipt of complaint with permission of EM / DDA.

Due emphasis is given to maintenance of records on procedural aspect, material aspect and workmanship aspect which are duly examined during quality audit. The deficiency noticed, if any, is promptly brought to the notice of concerned EE/SE/CE for suitable and effective administrative/contractual action and close watch is kept on compliance of the observations. QAC is also being assigned the special duties like inspection of sewerage pipes pre & post-delivery. The HDPE & RCC pipe of work of D/o 258.17 ha of land in Ph-IV & V Rohini, SH: P/ L peripheral sewerage scheme in sector 29, 30, 34 & 35 Rohini at Tender Cost of Rs. 26.33 crore is under inspection by QAC in factory premises where total 4927m of HDPE & 12162 m of RCC pipes was to be checked . Out of this 4230 m HDPE pipes and 125 m RCC pipe has been checked and approved. Similarly the pipe involved in the work of D/o 122.92 ha of land in sec-37 Ph-V, SH:- P/L Peripheral sewer line in sec-37 Rohini Ph-V amounting to Rs. 1.91 crore is also to be checked. The levels of earth work involved in the work of C/o 30 m RIW road in sector 27 & 28 Rohini and C/o internal roads (Ph-I treatment) for sector G-2 & G-6 at Narela is also assigned to be jointly checked by QAC and concerned field staff.

14.5 The specifications and technologies adopted are being reviewed regularly and suitably amended to meet the present requirements and environmental consideration. Use of new construction material, new techniques, such as prefab technology in housing projects, use of mix design/RMC etc. have been encouraged. Control on time and cost over runs without compromising with the quality, functional requirements, aesthetics and structural soundness of the building is being effectively monitored. 18,600 EWS houses with prefab technology are nearing completion and work of 24,660 LIG and 4,855 EWS houses has been started and likely to be completed in a time bound manner.

14.6 DDA has been striving for continuous improvement of services and quality of work. Interaction with

48

the field staff is being conducted during various inspections for bringing out various suggestions for quality improvement. The QAC officers and other engineering staff were sent for refresher courses/ training programmes being conducted by CPWD/CRRI and NIHA for their skill up gradation.

14.7 Emphasis has also been laid to clear the long pending QAC paras and closure of the cases for which a drive was launched by QAC for the cases up-to 31st March, 2005. The paras having no financial implications were settled and several cases were closed. As a result a good number of cases has reached to their conclusion stage. Efforts were made to delegate the jurisdiction for satisfaction of procedural paras to zonal chief engineers. The QAC has kept only those paras which are having financial implications or having any specific technically vital issue. QAC has played advisory role also indirectly to the field engineers during zonal review meetings and interaction among engineers during inspection also.

14.8 Complaints as and when received from VC, EM and Vigilance Cell are got investigated through the units of QA cell and vigilance angle involved if any is being taken care by vigilance cell.

14.9 Selection of material for works, collection of representative samples and their testing in reputed and reliable lab is of utmost importance. QA cell has a well equipped testing lab (with one AE and 2 JE’s) set up in Asian Games Village Complex. Though day to day routine tests are conducted at site by the field

staff, the random samples collected by QA team during their inspections are mostly got tested in the QA Lab. In order to induce more confidence in people at large, the present system of testing has been streamlined and revised guidelines have been issued in this regard giving more emphasis for testing of at least 100% samples in outside lab. As such, other labs like Sriram Test House, NTH, Delhi Test House, Spectre Analytical Lab etc. are also on panel for testing of material. Besides, this, the QAC lab of DDA is also being renovated/strengthened.

14.10 DDA gets IS/ ISO 9001:2008 License. The Quality Assurance Cell has made concerted efforts to improve quality systems and complied Quality manual in line with Quality Management System of ISO-9001-2008 which emphasised in organization profile, quality management, administrative, quality policy and quality objectives, quality management system, management responsibility, resources management, service realization etc. It is only after all parameters were fully covered and BIS was satisfied with the Quality Management System. The Bureau of Indian Standard granted “Quality Management Systems Certification Increase CRO/QSC/L-8002720 for ISO/ ISO 900 I :2000 to DDA in March 2007. The certification is reviewed every year and renewed after every three years. It was last renewed on 23rd September, 2013 and is valid up-to 30th March, 2016.
