REGIONAL PLAN: A CASE OF MUMBAI METROPOLITAN REGIONYash Shah
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land-use activities, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town. Regional planning is a sub-field of urban planning as it relates land use practices on a broader scale. It also includes formulating laws that will guide the efficient planning and management of such said regions.
Regions require various land uses; protection of farmland, cities, industrial space, transportation hubs and infrastructure, military bases, and wilderness. Regional planning is the science of efficient placement of infrastructure and zoning for the sustainable growth of a region. Advocates for regional planning such as new urbanist Peter Calthorpe, promote the approach because it can address region-wide environmental, social, and economic issues which may necessarily require a regional focus.
A ‘region’ in planning terms can be administrative or at least partially functional, and is likely to include a network of settlements and character areas. In most European countries, regional and national plans are ‘spatial’ directing certain levels of development to specific cities and towns in order to support and manage the region depending on specific needs, for example supporting or resisting polycentrism.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee (MMPC) was formed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Metropolitan Planning Committee Act 1999 and has been entrusted with the task of preparing a Regional Plan for the Mumbai Metropolitan Area with help from MMRDA. Currently, the Regional Plan 1996 is in operation which was prepared by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and sanctioned in 1999. The MMRDA was established under the MMRDA Act, 1974 and undertook the revision of the First regional plan prepared by the Regional Planning Board and sanctioned in 1973, under the provisions of the MR& TP Act, 1966.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Gaya is a town of ancient historical significance and finds mention in texts dating back to 600 BC. Gaya was
projected to the world by Bimbisara the Fifth of the Sisunaga dynasty who lived and ruled around 519 BC.
Gaya finds mention in the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Lord Rama is said to have visited Gaya
along with Sita and Lakshman to offer ‘pind-dan’ to his father. The Mahabharata refers to the city as Gayapuri.
Gaya is one of the best historical sites in India. Gaya is named after the demon Gayasur (meaning "the demon
Gaya"). According to Vayu Purana, Gaya was the name of a demon (Asura) whose body became pious after
he performed strict penance and secured blessings from Lord Vishnu. It was said that the body of Gayasura
was transformed into the series of rocky hills that make up the landscape of Gaya.
Gaya is 100 kilometers south of Patna, the capital city of Bihar. It is the state's second-largest city, with a
population of 470,839, and is the headquarters of Gaya district and Magadh division. The city is surrounded
on three sides by small, rocky hills (Mangla-Gauri, Shringa-Sthan, Ram-Shila, and Brahmayoni), with the
Phalgu River on its fourth (eastern) side.
1.2. Physiography, Topography and Natural Slope
Gaya stands in the transit‐region where the uplands of the Chotanagarpur plateau merge in the south Bihar
alluvial Gangetic plains. It is doted by small rocky hills (Mangala‐Gauri, Shringa‐Sthan, Ram‐Shila and
Brahmayoni) on three sides and the river flowing on the fourth (eastern) side.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
The topography of the west‐bank town, viz. Gaya proper, is influenced by the Brahmayanoni hill and the
smaller elevation along the river in Andar Gaya; the hills of Murli and Ramsila to the north; the Katari hill and
plateau to the west, and the Pretsila hill, further beyond to the north‐west. The situation of these outcrops
gives the encompassed urban area the shape of an irregular broken saucer. The north and the north‐eastern
slope are obstructed to some degree by the Ramsila, not only makes the Bairagi Mohulla and its environs the
lowest part of Gaya proper but also causes vicious problems of water logging to arise within it.
1.3. Administrative Setup of the District
Until 1864, Gaya was a part of the district of Bihar and Ramgarh (now in the state of Jharkhand). It became a
district of Bihar in its own right on 3 October 1865. In May 1981, the Bihar state government created the
Magadh division, comprising the district of Gaya, along with Nawada, Aurangabad and Jehanabad, all of which
had originally been sub-divisions when Gaya district was created. Aurangabad and Nawada were partitioned
from the territory of Gaya in 1976; and Jehanabad in 1988. Gaya district occupies an area of 4,976 km2
.
Gaya city is the administrative headquarters of the district. The district is divided into four Sub‐Divisions,
nine Tehsils, twenty-four CD Blocks, three hundred and thirty-two Panchayats and two thousand eight
hundred and sixty Villages. The district has one Municipal Corporation, three Nagar panchayats and one Zila
Parishad. It has one parliamentary constituency and ten assembly constituency.
1.4. Climate
The town lies in the hot and humid tropical zone and with wide sandy expanse of the Falgu, has become one
of the hottest and humid places in the country with absolute maximum temperatures reaching as high as 45
degree C and 90% humidity. The climate of Gaya is thus hot in summers and cold in winters, so also, the
variation in day and night temperature is high. The prevailing wind direction, except during monsoon when
easterlies and south‐easterlies predominate, is from the west. The average annual rainfall here is 1096 mm
per annum. The context of temperature obviously indicates that micro‐climatology has an important role to
play at Gaya.
1.5. Existing Spatial Growth
Gaya is surrounded by a ring of hills around it, the Ramshila hill on the north, Katari hill on the west, and
Brahmyoni on the south and the south‐west of the city, is the rugged ravines and rocks. River Falgu flows on
the eastern side of the city. After Independence the town experienced a faster growth. New colonies such
as police lines and railway quarters were developed in a planned manner. The south‐west part of the city has
largely developed as institutional/residential low-density area.
Major portion of the city is on the western side of Falgu River and a smaller portion of the city has been grown
along eastern bank of Falgu River. Because Gaya is a district head quarter and its strategic location has
tendency of growing as commercial centre, it has resulted in increased pressure of commercial activities in
the old city. Thus, town had started spreading along all major spines of the town. The town has spread almost
in all directions especially along Jahanabad‐Patna road, Sherghati road, Nawada Road and Gaya‐Dobi road.
National Highways and State Highways like NH‐82, NH‐83, SH‐4, SH‐7 and SH‐70 passes through the city
2. City Profile
Gaya is located in south central Bihar on the banks of the River Falgu 13km to the north of Bodhgaya and 120
km south of Patna. Gaya is well connected to Patna via NH 83; to Aurangabad, Sasaram and Delhi by NH 2 and
to Kolkata by SH 8 and NH 2. Gaya is the second most important railway junction in the state after Patna. It
has an international airport catering to tourists from Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore and Bhutan.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
3. Regional Context
The competitive advantage of Gaya lies is in its good connectivity. The town has several National and State
Highways that support its connectivity to other parts of the state and region. Gaya also has an international
airport and serves as a gateway to religious tourism.
Gaya is surrounded by hills on three sides – Mangala Gauri, Shringa Sthan, Ramshila and Brahmayoni – and
the River Falgu forming the fourth natural boundary. Gaya is an important place of Hindu tourism for ‘Pind-
dan’ and sees a huge influx of tourists for the month long ‘Pitra Paksh’ mela annually.
Gaya is also well connected to Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Guwahati, and Chennai metro cities and to Patna
and Kiul through broad gauge railway line. It is the second most important station and junction in Bihar after
Patna. Gaya has an International Airport. It is an international airport connected to Colombo (Sri Lanka),
Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, and Bhutan.
Gaya is well connected with the regional road network within the state and to various meteropolises in the
country. Gaya city is regionally connected with Patna via Jahanabad through NH‐83 towards the north of Gaya.
Further Gaya is connected to Aurangabad, Sasaram to Delhi though NH‐2 which meets NH‐83 (passing from
Gaya City) at Dobhi. Also, Gaya is connected to Kolkata by SH‐8 and by NH‐2.

4. Demography
Gaya’s growth has been largely an outcome of its position as the leading town in the region. Gaya’s
connectivity to the neighboring towns and villages also contributed to its development into a regional centre
for trade and commerce. The average growth rate of the population in the period 1961 – 2001 has been
between 18-37%. The highest growth rate in the last ten decades was in the period 1971-1981 at 37.4%.
Thereafter, the rate has shown a marginal decline to 33.4% in the decade 1991-2001. This fluctuating growth
rate may be due to the migration from surrounding villages linked to economic possibilities in the town.
Gaya is spread over an area of 50.17 sq.km with housing a population of 3,89,192 (Census 2001). Highest
density is in ward no. 21 i.e. 1450 PPHA and the lowest density is in ward no. 29 i.e. 8 PPHA. Sex ratio of
Gaya is 885 females per 1000 males (2001) which is lower than the district and state average. Literacy rate in
Gaya is 77.2 percent of which 58% are males and 42% are females.
Population in 53 wards varies from 6401 to 8305. Lowest population size of 6401 is of Ward No. 20 which is
spread over an area of 13 Ha and the highest population size 8305 is of Ward No. 49 which is spread over an
area of 53 Ha approximately. It can be observed from above table that maximum wards are having population
size ranging from 7000 to 8000

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
Based on population figures from Census 1961 to 2001, a population projection has been done using three
different methods namely Arithmetic Increase Method, Geometric Increase Method and Incremental
Increase Method. The estimated population using the Incremental Increase Method has been adopted for
planning purposes on account of its greater alliance with ground realities. The estimated projection shows
that the population of Gaya will increase to about 7.03 lakhs (approx.) by year 2030.
5. Infrastructure Assessment
5.1.Water Supply
Ground water is the main source of water in Gaya. Ground water is extracted through 28 functional high
yielding tube-wells. The water supply system is decentralized and based on 7 overhead tanks (OHTs) with a
combined capacity of 30 lakh gallons. The present demand is 46.4 MLD at the rate of 100 LPCD. The present
supply is 20 MLD at 40-50 LPCD. The water supply system covers 40-45% of the town. The supply duration
is for 8 hours a day through direct pumping and 4 hours a day through reservoirs. Only bleaching powder is
used as a disinfectant. The town is divided into five water supply zones and the total length of the distribution
system is 70kms. It is estimated that 60% of households have individual connections; the town has 122 public
stand posts and 493 hand pumps. Water does not attract a separate charge – the municipality charges a flat
fee of Rs. 700 as connection charges.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
5.1.1. Issues and Findings
Inadequate quantity, area covered & duration of water supply; Distribution network is very old (high losses
and water contamination), Inadequate infrastructure viz. storage, pumping station etc., Non‐revenue water
(no metered connections), O & M Cost Recovery is 40%.
5.1.2. Key Strategies
A comprehensive water supply augmentation scheme with detailed engineering design of all required
components. To enhance supply to 100 LPCD in Phase 1 and 135 LPCD in Phase II. To ensure minimum
transmission losses; ground water recharge through rain water harvesting, conserving water bodies and
controlling water extraction. Recycling of treated waste water. Reduction of non-revenue water in phases
through 100% metered pipe connections and removal of public stand posts. Recovery of O&M costs.
5.2. Sewerage and Sanitation
Gaya has no organized sewerage system. The absence of a systematic wastewater disposal system has led
to waste water and sullage into the rivers/storm water drains that are mostly open. It is estimated that 40%
of households have septic tanks. Gaya town has 10 public conveniences, of which 5 are located in slums. It
is estimated that the current waste generation is about 37.09 MLD and this is projected to increase to 75.95
MLD. At present, waste water and sullage are discharged into the River Falgu and in other low-lying areas of
the town. The present system is inadequate and poses a potential threat to overall health and hygiene.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
5.2.1. Issues and Findings
Lack of sanitation facilities (individual and community toilets) leads to open defecation along river & open
drains; Intermixing of wastewater with storm water in drains; Falling of untreated waste into Falgu River and
open low-lying areas creates pollution in city.
5.2.2. Key Strategies
Making Gaya ‘open defecation free’ through 100% access to toilets. Establishment of a waste water
treatment plant in the short term. A comprehensive sewer network in the long term & household
connections to the network. Community toilets where individual toilets are not possible. Integrated planning
& implementation of water supply-drainage-sewerage-solid waste management system to optimize benefits
including recycling.
5.3.Storm Water Drainage
The drainage of Gaya is influenced by the hills surrounding it on three sides – Mangla Gauri, Shringa Sthan,
Ramshila and Brahmayoni – and the River Falgu on the remaining side. The road to the west of the Collectorate
divides the drainage into two zones – western and eastern. Gaya’s drainage network is 60kms long – covering
40% of the road network – with 46 kms of the drains being pucca and 16km kutcha.
The main drains in the western zone include Kujapi, Karimganj and Katari Hill Road Nallah and these
discharge effluents at various places like the Gandhi Maidan, near the Railway Station etc. The main drains in
the eastern zone include Mansarva, Mashanghat and Nadraganj Nallah and these discharge effluents into the
River Falgu. The area to the north of Dhobi Road Nallah to Katari Hill Road Nala, Gandhi Maidan to Kujapi
Nallah and newly developed colonies in Manpur, Ghughari, Monapur, and Kumar Colony have no drainage
and are prone to water logging.

5.3.1. Issues and Findings
Inadequate coverage of drainage network. Clogging of open drains due to collection of solid waste and
encroachments; Intermixing of wastewater and storm water creates pollution; Water logging in ward no. 7,
8, 18, 19, 23, 24 and 36 due to inadequate drains; Discharging of untreated waste into Falgu River and other
open spaces causes pollution.
5.3.2. Key Strategies
To attain full network coverage of adequate capacity. To manage water logging – this is a priority area. To
install a waste water treatment plant in the short term.
5.4. Solid Waste Management
It is estimated that Gaya generates about 275 tons of garbage per day. Garbage generation is expected to
increase to 415 tons per day by 2030. About 90% of the waste generated is collected while the rest is
unattended. Door to door collection has been introduced recently and covers 25% of the city area.
Secondary collection of garbage is done from 250 dustbins in different parts of the city in addition to street
sweeping. The municipal corporation uses hand trolleys, hand rickshaws, tractors, dumpers, loaders, tempos
and roller to collect and transport garbage. Sites have been identified at Panchvati Akhata (5acres) and Nailli
(23 acres) for development into sanitary landfill sites. Currently garbage is dumped at various open spaces.
5.4.1. Issues and Findings
Inadequate coverage of door to door collection; Lack of waste management Infrastructure; Absence of
scientific disposal of waste; Dumping of waste on roads, drains and open Spaces.

5.5.1. Issues and Findings
Passing of NH & SH from city puts high pressure on the city roads; Inadequate road width (varies from 3.5 to
7m); Only 39% of the roads are surfaced, poor maintenance of existing roads; Lack of organized parking
leads to on‐street parking causes congestion on roads; Lack of traffic management in the city viz. traffic
signalization, markings etc.; Unorganized bus stand and absence of truck terminal facility, loading, unloading,
parking takes place on commercial roads leading to congestion.
5.5.2. Key Strategies
Upgradation, strengthening of existing roads; development of missing links. Development of an Outer Ring
Road. Development of new roads in Phase II. Junction improvements, signage’s etc. priority. Removal of
encroachments from pavements & construction of new pavements. Organized parking lots at main
commercial centers. Comprehensive Mobility Plan Provision of street lights including nonconventional
energy based.
6. Capital Investment Plan (CIP)
The total funding, i.e. up to year 2030, is estimated at Rs. 933.03 crore. Sector-wise details of the investments
have been defined for the entire period. The scheduling or phasing of the CIP is based on the analysis of fiscal
resources for new investments and O&M, technical capacity for construction and the choice of specific
improvements to be taken up. About 31% of the capital investment estimate is envisaged for roads and
transportation; 15% for sewerage and sanitation and 15% for water supply.

7. Financial Operating Plan (FOP)
The investment capacity of the Gaya Municipal Corporation is assessed through a Financial Operating Plan
(FOP) that gives a multi-year forecast of finances of the local body for the short-term period. The FOP is
generated to assess the investment-sustaining capacity of the ULB, if it adopts a project funding structure
comprising grants with internal resources and loans accounting for the rest. The level of investment that the
ULB can sustain is then determined by studying the overall surpluses/year-to-year opening balance and debt
service coverage ratio (DSCR). An important aspect that needs to be considered in raising financial resources
is beneficiary contribution. This practice has to be promoted and the concept of PPP also needs to be
introduced to make the services sustainable. Thus, a total investment of Rs. 603.50 crores in the short-term
(2011-12 – 2015-16) can be pooled by implementing PPP – this further decreases the financial burden of the
ULB in the next five years.

Physical Infrastructure Assessment Report: A case study of Gaya, Bihar
The FOP assumes that in the short term:
• At least 10% contribution of the overall fund requirement will be from the ULB.
• Rs. 0.50 crores (Sewerage and Sanitation) for public toilets will be through PPP.
• Rs. 7.90 crores (Solid Waste Management) towards vehicles and equipment will be through PPP.
• Rs. 89.00 crores (Roads and Transportation) towards upgradation of bus terminal, construction of
truck terminal and parking lots will be through PPP.
The key considerations for the FOP are:
• At least 10% of the overall fund requirement will be from the ULB therefore, stringent steps and
interventions are required to enhance its ‘own’ resource base.
• It is assumed that in cases where funding other than state government will be available (could be
loans from financial institutions, central government, other funded programmes), there will be part
contribution from the state government and the ULB will contribute at least 10%.
• Emphasis to be on developing projects on PPP wherever possible.
