Projected growth in Indian population
Civic Amenities defined
Examples include :
• Adequate and clean drinking water
• Piped water coverage
• Good infrastructure
• Sewage treatment
• Management of solid waste
• Satisfied transportation

3. Do the urban areas have the capacity of holding such population? Do they have ample civic amenities?
Major cities population:
• NEW DELHI (capital) 21.72 million;
• Mumbai 19.695 million;
• Kolkata 15.294 million;
• Chennai 7.416 million;
Migration of people from rural areas to
metro areas will densify the metro cities
According to the report on 'India's Urban
Awakening' by McKinsey Global Institute, in
the next 20 years, India will have 68 cities
with a population over one million – up from
42 today. That is nearly twice as many cities
as all of Europe.
INDIA’S URBAN AWAKENING

4. Problems Causes Reasons
Poor and inadequate
drinking water
Discharge of industrial
wastes and sewage into
clean water bodies.
Lack of proper disposal
sites for industries and
household sewage.
Sewage nearly three core people
in urban areas defecate in
open
less than two-third of the
urban households were
connected to sewer
system.
Transport • Heavy traffic due to
dominating private
transport
• on-street
loading/unloading
activities
• inadequate parking
facilities and parking
on the streets
• People are using
private transport
because out of 85
cities with population
of 0.5 million or
more, only 20 cities
have a city bus
service.
• inadequate
signaling/other traffic
management
measures
• poorly designed
intersections
INDIAN CITIES FACING WORSE DECAY AND GRIDLOCK
There is an urgent need to improve existing cities and plan new ones.

7. THE HEAD MEMBERS WILL FOCUS ON THE NEW STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP TIER 2 CITIES AS MAGNETS FOR ALLIED
INVESTMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT BASIC CIVIC AMENITIES IN URBAN AREAS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
STRATEGIES MADE.
• Mission
emphasizes
transparency and
accountability.
The funds are channeled
through head members t
where grants from the
central and state
governments are pooled
and passed on as grants
or soft loans to cities
provided that they have
prepared development
strategies
• The share of grant funded
by the central government
may vary depending on the
various cities.
It supports
public-private
partnerships and
cost recovery to
make service
providers
financially self-
sustaining
GOALS
• Providing the entire
urban population
including those in
slums with access to
piped water supply.
• Providing
underground
sewerage and
drainage to cities
• Urban transport
EFFORTS
• A systematic approach
for identification and
reduction of leakage
and preventive
maintenance
• Focus towards better
sewage and septage
management
• Better planning for
traffic management
and providing bus
facilities.
REALISATION
• Improving
transparency through
"Public Disclosure
Law"
• Engaging communities
in water management
through community
participation law .
• The response will be
shared on the social
media and the
feedback will be
taken.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRUCTURE

8. Leveraging existing Government Policies
With the collaboration of government policies with our
solution, the government policies could be leveraged
because :
No political party is individually involved in our proposal
A special unit is their to monitor the progress of the
policies.
Transparency is there between the public and the
initiative team.
This will increase the rate of employability
This will be extremely
beneficial as their
would be no
additional funding
required.
Percentage of Funding

Cities with 4 million plus

Cities/UAs with million plus but

2001 CENSUS

The funds could be
rearranged for the
implementation.

9. THE ORGANIZATIONAL SETUP WILL REQUIRE A FUNDS OF ABOUT INR 6 CRORE
FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE BODIES.

10. IMPACT OF THE PROPOSAL
Emergence of Tier 2 cities as “Future Cities” in India.
People migrating to metro cities will move on to the new
developed future cities and hence the burden on Tier 1 cities
will decrease.

11.  Sample size not definite, source of data through
government reports.
 Development of future cities may lead to over
population of these cities.
• Government may provide only limited funds and
grants.
• Completing the projects within the proposed time
period.
Risks
Challenges
Mitigation
• Special units will monitor the survey data
and ensure it confirms to the strategies.
• Financial help from Corporates, NGO’s.
• Seeking help from EPC’s(Engineering,
procurement and construction) and BOT
(Build- Operate-Transfer).
