Resettlement and Rehabilitation

55% live in slums and 65 lakhs people do not have permanent shelter (Approximately 3000 Slums pockets)

Slums and Encroachments affecting vital public projects

12 lakhs houses needed to provide shelter to slum dwellers

Present Scenario of Housing

Land has become scarce. Vast tracts of lands are locked up due to CRZ regulations and salt pan leases.

Thousands of buildings are in dilapidated conditions endangering the lives of lakhs of people

Infrastructure projects undertaken by GoM

To improve the transport infrastructure including rail, road and public transportation the GoI, GoM & MMRDA have undertaken

Slums affected by Vital Infrastructure Projects

Implementation of MUTP and MUIP requires shifting of 58000 slum dwelling families comprising of about 3,50,000 population in the right of way of roads and safety margins on the rail corridors

About 23,000 slum dwelling families are affected by MUTP

About 35,000 slum dwelling families are affected by MUIP

More than 80,000 slums surround the Airport require immediate rehabilitation

23000 PAHs (Road - 6972, Rail – 15,857) Project Affected

Households (110,000 persons) to be resettled under MUTP

Another 35000 PAHs to be resettled under MUIP

80000 PAHs to be resettled under Airport Slum Rehabilitation

Resettlement & Rehabilitation

to acquisition under LA Act 1894 by way of Transfer of Development

Rights (TDR)

The Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act 1960: provides for

establishing, registering and administering the cooperative societies

Legal Framework Governing SRA Scheme

Step Involved in Slum Rehabilitation

Identification of vital public projects

Preparation of BSES Reports and Cadastral Maps

Identification of lands suitable for transit and permanent rehabilitation,

preparation of plans and approval to the schemes by the competent

authority

Preparation of eligible slum dwellers/PAPs list

Certification of the PAPs list by the Collector

Public consultations, issuance of identity cards and allotment letters

Construction of Transit tenements

Shifting of PAPs into transit tenements and clearing the corridors.

Construction of Permanent tenements

Shifting of PAPs into permanent tenements

Post resettlement activities such as Co. Op. Housing Soc.

Registration/transfer funds to the societies

Transit tenements provided temporary accommodations for slum

dwellers while permanent tenements were being completed

8000 transit tenement were constructed under MUTP along with

necessary infrastructure

The transit tenements are of approximately 120 sq.ft carpet area

each with common toilet facilities

Pedestrian pathways along with other basic amenities such as

water, electricity and ration shops have been provided

Construction of Transit Tenements

Based on recommendations of a Task Force assigned to frame a policy regarding Resettlement & Rehabilitation the policy has been formulated.

Baseline Surveys, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan, Rehabilitation Implementation Plans (RIPs) and Community Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) have been prepared with the help of NGOs.

Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) prepared covering;

Number of families affected by the project

Policy framework and entitlements

Land acquisition details

Identification of resettlement sites and purchase of built houses

Plans for transit and permanent housing

Economic rehabilitation measures

Monitoring, evaluation procedures, grievance & redressal

mechanisms

Time-table including the preparation of detailed implementation

plans

Resettlement and Rehabilitation Process

The project is being implemented with the assistance

of the NGOs like SPARC and SRS

The process of community participation began from

the stage of conducting BSES and RIP preparation

and the post rehabilitation support and services for

each of the project component

Reputed NGOs and Community Based Organisations

working in the project areas engaged to carry out the

BSES through the active participation of the

community

NGOs and Community Involvement

NGOs involvement helped to:

Identify the community preferences in new relocation site

Shelter design

Formation of Co. Op. Housing Societies of the PAHs

Formation of Mahila Milan Committees

Training the groups in maintenance and management of community needs

Preparing the community to adapt to new lifestyle in multi-storied building

Maintenance of the local environment and services

Training and assisting the communities in establishing community based savings and loan during the post resettlement phase

Promote community savings, income earning activities and improved quality of life

NGOs and Community Involvement

PICs have been established in the office of MMRDA

and the project sites to provide:

Information pertaining to the project

Eligibility & entitlements

Project components and implementation

schedules

Public consultation and transparency process

NGOs associated with the project to provide

volunteers to manage the PIC at the project site

Public Information Centres (PIC)

Two separate Committees have been appointed by MMRDA for

redressal of grievances of the Slum dwellers/ PAHs

Field Level Grievance Committee, comprising officials of the PMU,

representatives of the NGOs and Project Implementing Agencies

(PIAs), to hear the grievances of the PAHs at the first instance

High Level Grievance Redressal Committee, comprising the

officials of the MMRDA and the representatives of the NGOs, to

hear and decide appeals of the aggrieved Slum dwellers/ PAHs

A high level Independent Monitoring Panel has been constituted to

supervise the overall implementation process

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

Formation of Co. Op. Housing Soc. including

their PAH members and transfer of legal tenure of the

land in the names of the societies

Payment of all kind of monetary compensations &

transfer of maintenance charges

Providing community facilities, to the left over

population that are lost in the process of resettlement

Post Resettlement Activities

In order to monitor the rehab process, MIS has been

established by MMRDA

The MIS is prepared based on the inputs from the field

level operations to generate quarterly progress reports

Management Inofrmation System (MIS)

Innovation in Implementation

The mammoth task of rehabilitation and resettlement is

being implemented with the following fast and quick

actions:

• Establishment of SRA cell in MMRDA

• Motivating the developers to offer tenements under SRA

scheme

• Invitation of proposals through public notification for

construction of tenements under SRA

• Timely approvals after statutory scrutiny to the

proposals of the developers and grant of TDR benefits

Innovation in Implementation – contd.

Supervision to ensure design standard, quality construction through PMCs ensuring development of off-site infrastructure utilizing engineering capabilities of MMRDA

Involvement of NGOs to carry out the BSES, preparation of RIP, CEMP and EA etc.

Co-ordination with government agencies like revenue department and collector encroachments to finalise eligibility and entitlements

Shifting of families through NGOs involvement under the supervision of trained and qualified team of MMRDA

Taking over of cleared lands and providing security to prevent re-encroachments

Impact Assessment The execution of MUTP, MUIP and resettlement and rehabilitation of

project affected/slum dwellers would have several spin off benefitsThe cost of the R&R if entirely procured through public procurement process, purely on financial terms would cost Rs. 1500 Cr.

The process through which these tenements were procured has put a very limited burden on government and therefore saved the public funds at large

This project not only helped to relieve Mumbai of it’s transportation problems but also give the much awaited impetus to the stagnant growth of Mumbai’s economy

The transport infrastructure project are expected to yield remarkable benefits to the city in terms of improved productivity, saving in fuel and travel time, reduction in pollution and overall growth of the city
