In over fifty years since independence, India has developed
an extensive public delivery system for the provision of
health care. This was preceded in 1946 by the Bhore
Commission that recommended basic health services be
provided for all through Primary Health Centres (PHCs). In
line with the recommendations, PHCs were set up all across
the country, each serving about 30,000 inhabitants in its
vicinity. At the time, the urban population of India was less
than 18 per cent. Since then, the urban population has grown
over fourfold to 285 million of over the 1 billion people
living in India. 22.6 per cent of this 285 million live in slums
(GOI 2001).
As in the case of health services, provision of education for
all in India has also largely been envisaged within the public
delivery system even though this sector has a significant presence
of private providers. Since independence the government has
launched various schemes and programmes for increasing
literacy among all sections of the population, the Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan and the Right to Education Bill are the two seminal
steps in this direction. Recently there has been a growing
demand for privatization and growth in the number of private
institutions. This phenomenon is more strongly visible in
the urban areas where there is a greater proportion of literate
23.4 per cent of the urban population was below the poverty
line (as against 76.3 million, that is, 32.4 per cent in 1993–4).
However, variations both across and within economic classes,
castes, and states are high. Many disenfranchized segments
suffer from high levels of deprivation not revealed by aggregate
numbers. This also affects their health indicators.
The Food Insecurity Atlas of Urban India (MSSRF 2002)
suggests approximately 38 per cent of children below the age
of three years in urban India are underweight and more than
35 per cent short for their age. Further, a high proportion of
the urban poor are not able to meet the nutrition norms laid
down by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
It is not clear whether the urban poor are generally better
off than the rural poor. On the one hand, aggregate figures
such as wages, poverty levels, expenditures, all show better
performance of urban areas. It is also believed that access to
schools and health facilities is better in urban areas. On the
other hand casual employment, daily wages, high level of
competition for the few unskilled jobs, all contribute to the
vulnerability of the urban poor.
An aspect of urban poverty rarely captured by published
data relates to the condition of those living at the fringes of the

The transboundary basin of the Teesta River encompasses 12,159 square kilometers, of which 10,155 are in India and 2,004 are in Bangladesh. Approximately 8,051 square kilometers of the river basin lie in hilly parts of Sikkim (6,930 square kilometers) and West Bengal (1,121 square kilometers). Approximately 4,108 square kilometers of the basin lie in the plains of West Bengal (2,104 square kilometers) and Bangladesh (2,004 square kilometers).
Historically, the Teesta was part of the Ganges river system, flowing south from Jalpaiguri in West Bengal in three separate channels: the Karatoya, the Purnabhaba, and the Atrai. It is speculated that the three channels led to the name “Trisrota” (“possessed of three streams”) and subsequently to “Teesta.” Following a flood in 1787, the Teesta changed its course southeast to join the Brahmaputra.

With a view to recast the urban landscape of India and make urban areas more livable and inclusive to drive economic growth in the country, the Government of India recently launched two ambitious projects - Smart City and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transportation (AMRUT). The purpose of AMRUT is to 1) ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water and a sewerage connection; 2) increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces; and 3) reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport. The Mission is being implemented in 500 cities towns with a population of over 1 lakh.
This webinar discussed the current state of urbanization in India, the various propositions suggested by the government as a part of the AMRUT scheme and the feasibility of this project.

DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVADSTATUE OF UNITY-SARDAR SARO...Yash Shah
In Kevadiya, the mighty Narmada flows between the Satpura and Vindhayachal, slyly giving way
to a smooth four-lane highway that leads to two remarkable structures: the Statue of Unity and the
Sardar Sarovar Dam. Twice, it seems, the country has looked at Kevadia and both times in scale,
the result has been quite remarkable. Driving up the highway, one can certainly rejoice in the fact
that the Statue of Unity is far removed from the bustle of the cities.
“Kevadiya is a shining example of eco-friendly development. On one side there is the dam and
power generation equipment and on the other, there are beautiful eco-tourism sites around SoU”.
After all, the charm of concrete skylines would fade rather quickly. Erecting the statue in a
nondescript town not only puts it on the tourist map but also creates a playground of opportunities,
one that the state government has been efficient to act upon.
In Kevadiya there were new tourist facilities like eco-tourism site, nursery, butterfly garden and
others will generate employment opportunities for the locals who would get big market for their
vegetables, fruits and milk. However shrouded in controversy it may be, our first glance at the
Statue of Unity was enough to make us gasp quite audibly. There was nothing quite like it. The
sheer size of it seemed unfathomable, my whole self as tall as Sardar Patel’s tiniest toe.
