6. Resettlement and Rehabilitation

7. 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

8. 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

9. 23000 PAHs (Road - 6972, Rail – 15,857) Project Affected
Households (110,000 persons) to be resettled under MUTP

Salient features of the slum rehabilitation scheme

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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

21. 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

22. 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)

23. 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

24. 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

25. Impact Assessment
The execution of MUTP, MUIP and resettlement and rehabilitation of
project affected/slum dwellers would have several spin off benefits
The 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
