CHAPTER1
INTRODUCTION

~ 33 ~
1.1.COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
A Comprehensive Development Plan is both a perspective and a vision for the future
development of a city. It presents the current stage of the city’s development -where are we
now? It sets out the directions of change - where do we want to go? It identifies the thrust
areas — what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also suggests alternative routes,
strategies, and interventions for bringing about the change - what interventions do we make
in order to attain the vision? It provides a framework and vision within which projects need to
be identified and implemented. It establishes a logical and consistent framework for
evaluation of investment decisions.
A Comprehensive Development Plan is anchored on the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission (JNNURM) goal of creating economically productive, efficient, equitable
and responsive cities. As a step to achieving this goal, the Comprehensive Development
Plan focuses on development of economic and social infrastructure, strategies that deal
specifically with issues affecting the urban poor, strengthening of municipal governments and
their financial accounting & budgeting systems & procedures, creation of structures for
bringing in accountability and transparency; and elimination of legal and other bottlenecks
that have stifled the land and housing markets. It provides a basis for cities to undertake
urban sector reforms that help direct investment into city-based infrastructure.
1.2.SCOPE OF WORK
Preparation of a Comprehensive Development Plan is a multi-stage exercise. The scope of
work for the preparation of Comprehensive Development Plan will include:
I. Analysis of the Existing Situation
II. Development of Vision for the City
III. Sectoral Goals and Strategies
IV. Prioritization of Strategies and Evaluation of Alternate Strategies
V. Identification and Prioritization of Projects

~ 34 ~
STAGE – 1
ANALYSIS OF THE
EXISTING SITUATION
• In-depth analysis of the existing situation of the city shall be taken up to assess ‘where the city is’. This would
be based on reconnaissance survey, secondary data collection, household surveys, public consultations and
individual stakeholder consultations. The analysis shall focus on the following sectors:
• Demography ,Land utilization , Economic base, Financial profile of the municipality , Infrastructure , Water
supply , Sewerage ,Solid waste management , Drainage ,Traffic and transportation , Street lighting , Physical
and environmental aspects of the city , Institutions related to service delivery in the city , Social infrastructure
, Basic services to urban poor
STAGE – 2
DEVELOPMENT OF
VISION FOR THE CITY
• The Comprehensive Development Plan would aim at developing a vision for the city’s future based on
consultations with the citizens’ representatives. A city vision would be formulated based on an assessment of
the existing situation to determine ‘where the city is’ and ‘where it wants to go’. Vision for the city shall be
developed based on assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the city and identification of the sectors where
the city has maximum potential for growth. This vision would bank upon the city’s competitive advantages in
the local, regional and National context while considering the preferences of the city’s residents.
• A vision for the future development of the city over the next 25 years (till 2035), which is based on consensus
amongst the citizens, shall be identified and all the future objectives, strategies and targets shall have to be
aligned with this vision. The outcomes and milestones for the vision would be defined within a time frame.
STAGE – 3
SECTORAL GOALS
AND STRATEGIES
• In line with the vision formulated for the development of the city, the prime sectors would be identified which
need to be focused on in order to materialize the vision for the city. This would be done in consultation with
the citizens’ representatives through a Workshop. After identifying the priority sectors, a strategy for the
development of each sector shall be formulated in consultation with the citizens and based on this, the sectoral
goal and targets shall be defined. Measures to initiate Mandatory and Optional reforms listed under JNNURM
shall also be proposed.
Table1: WORKING METHODOLOGY OF CASE STUDY-VELLORE

~ 35 ~
STAGE – 4
PRIORITIZATION OF
STRATEGIES AND
EVALUATION OF
ALTERNATE
STRATEGIES
• The Sectoral strategies and goals shall be prioritized and selected based on their relevance to the Vision and
to the upliftment of urban poor. A well defined ‘prioritization strategy’ shall be formulated for selection of
strategies. An urban renewal strategy (where required) shall also be formulated.
STAGE – 5
IDENTIFICATION AND
PRIORITIZATION OF
PROJECTS
• Based on stakeholder consultations, and relevance to the vision and maximum impact, a set of
projects shall be identified which need to be implemented in order to attain the Vision. These projects shall
be sectoral and shall be prioritized based on strategic planning.
STAGE -6
PREPARATION OF
CITY INVESTMENT
PLAN
• A City investment plan shall be made to outline the flow of investments required for attainment of the City
Vision in a phased manner and the possible sources of funding for the same. The sources of funding
available at National, State and ULB level shall be analyzed to formulate a mechanism for financing the
projects related to the city vision through better management and utilization of the existing financial
resources as well as creating opportunities for fresh flow of funds. PPP based initiatives would be given
preference.

3.1.INTRODUCTION
Demographic characteristics of a region provide an overview of its population size,
composition, territorial distribution and changes therein. This section on demographic
indicators includes indicators that measure the population size, sex ratio, density and literacy
rate. These indicators for the region will help in identifying areas that need policy and
programmed interventions, setting near and far-term goals, and deciding priorities, besides
understanding them in an integrated structure. Data in this section has been taken mainly
from the "Census of India" and "VCMC". The demographic characteristics have been
analysed in terms of decadal growth and spatial distribution of density in the city.
3.2.PAST POPULATION GROWTH TRENDS
VCMC's Population as per Census 2011 is 4,8,1966 with a decadal growth of 19%, which is
high against the national decadal growth of 17.64%, but less than Tamil Nadu’s urban
population decadal growth of 28.49% for the decade 2001- 2011.

Fig.6 POPULATION INCREASE
INFERENCE: From this it can inferred that the growth rate suddenly decreased from 1951 to 1961 due to high out migration to the other surrounding
areas due to lack of better employment opportunities in Vellore city respectively .But later due to implementation of government schemes which created job
opportunities growth rate increased. And a steady growth can be observed from 1991-2011

3.4.SCHEDULED CASTE & SCHEDULED TRIBE POPULATION
The Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) are two groups of historically-
disadvantaged people recognised in the Constitution of India. During the period of British rule in
the Indian subcontinent, they were known as the Depressed Classes.

Fig.12 POPULATION BREAK-UP OF SCHEDULED TRIBES IN VMCA AREA-2011
INFERENCE: The study of SCs & STs is to be given more considerations because the total
development of any city will include not only the development of industries, commercial
activities, green spaces etc it even has to cover the development of the backward population who
are deprived of their rights in the community due to their low earning capabilities and low
standards of living. And while preparation of the comprehensive development plan of Vellore

(which may include or exclude cultivated or potentially productive area). Commonly this may be
calculated for a county, city, country, another territory, or the entire world. Total area of Vellore
city is 87.915 km².Total population of Vellore city is 481966.The density of Vellore city is
701persons / km².
Fig.14 DENSITY COMPARISION FOR THE YEAR 2011
INFERENCE: From the above analysis it is clear that the density of Vellore city is greater than
the national average of 382/ km². The increase in density is mostly due to natural increase and
addition of surrounding regions into Vellore municipal area in the year 2008 which increased the
area from 48 wards in 2001 to 60 wards in 2011 respectively. The population density in Vellore
UA limits is 57 pph according to UDPFI guidelines it is about 150 pph. In future the population
is expected to grow more in the outer areas; comparatively the density of Vellore is high than
surrounding districts & the state average too.
• Though the gross density of VCMC area is 57PPH, the core area is denser with the gross
density of 160 PPH as compared to the extended area which has a density of 42 PPH.
