In India, one of every three urban people lives in slums. Land value are extradianaryly high and living
conditions accordingly are worse in the million plus cities Slums have grown simultaneously with the growth of
towns and cities partially in large industrial cities prohibeteration of slums has been taking place whenever the
urban resources are stretched by intense population pressure. Industries in all major towns and cities have
attracted a sizable number of people from rural areas who were reeling under the pressure of poverty there by
leading to proliferation of slums at a faster rate. Such people who came to the cities in search of livelihood
settled themselves in vacant places, due to lack of any basic civic amenities and these areas have soon grown
into slums where people live under unhygienic and insanitary conditions in India slums population has been
growing at an alarming rate. Visakhapatnam the slums have been more or less a result of the rapid
industrialization it experienced over the last four decades heavy influx of laborers from rural to the port city has
meant a growth in slum population at a rate higher than 6% perannum.During October,1985 and aprial,1986
the urban community development project of municipal corporation of Visakhapatnam has conducted as survey
of slums in the city on the state of physical amenities in the slums and socio-economic conditions of slumdwellers.
Most of the Visakhapatnam slum dwellers live under sub-standard environmental conditions. In this
paper we presented growth of slums and their characteristics.

Cities need to be seen in the larger context of the region and accordingly planned and devloped in the larger context of peri-urban araes/regional context, to stay safe, rational and sustainable. Neglecting rural areas at the cost of promoting urban development can be both irrational, illogical and fraught with danger of having lopsided developmnet of the urban areas. in the developing countries.

A lot of literature on urban development in developing countries has entirely focused on the nexus between rapid urbanization, Gross Geographic Product (GGP) and poverty growth with little research that demonstrates what this impacts on urban sustainability especially with increasing slums in rapidly urbanizing African countries. Available research has focused entirely on increasing poverty level in urban Africa and its mitigation without a clear direction on what this means to slums improvement and urban sustainability. This papers aims to give a conceptual analysis that will help to understand the dynamics of urban sustainability and slums development. The historical perspectives and current realities of Kibera slums in Nairobi are reviewed.
Challenges faced in emergency response phase in urban areasAshique Hasan
The world is now facing a rapid growth of urbanization mainly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Now the time has come to give more attention to urban people as the humanitarian agencies faced lots of difficulties in emergency response phase in urban areas. And some of the difficulties are very challenging and uncommon compared to rural areas. The uncontrolled urbanization due to unexpected migration towards urban areas is one of the underlying causes for that. Beside these lack of good governance and peoples accountability also responsible for stimulating the migration process towards urban areas. This paper tries to focus the causes of migration. And how it turns into hazard in urban perspective and create difficulties for the humanitarian agencies job during emergency response phase. Basing on case study of Haiti and Chile earthquake this paper highlights the gaps and limitation of the government’s disaster plan and following with some recommendations.
By 2050, India with about 1.7 billion people will be the most populous country in the world, accounting for about 17 percent of the global population but only 2 percent of land and less than 4 percent of water. And about 60 percent of the population, nearly 1 billion, will be urbanized and a large part of it will be rural migrants. The rapid urbanization will further accelerate the demand for higher quantity of quality food, especially of high value foods such as fruits, vegetables, milk, meat and eggs, from the shrinking land, water, biodiversity resources. Moreover, the crowding cities and their peripheries will be facing agriculture land loss that will affect future food production in large scale.

Affordable housing for all in india- Issues and OptionsJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Occupying largest space and having largest count in human settlements, housing, despite being critical for human living, quality of life and occupying higher rating in all government policies and programs, has remained elusive for majority of the people belonging to lower end of economic/social pyramid. Housing has emerged as the most complex human problem, ever evolving, ever devolving, never static, never finite and never nearing solution. Increasing human numbers, rapid mass migration/ movement of the people due to shifting of residence in search of better economic opportunities within/across nations have emerged as the major cause of the problem. getting more vexed. Having different connotations and meaning for different communities across the globe , Housing has defied all solutions to make housing for all a distinct reality. As major consumer of energy, resources, land, materials, money, labour and time , housing has assumed complex dimensions in different nations/states /communities. Housing also is known to have impact on environment, ecology and global sustainability. Housing does not remain confined to four walls ; it needs a large network of amenities and services to support it. It has high degree of linkages with the human habitat. Paper looks at the housing in the Indian context, tries to identify different issues and roadblocks which are hindering the growth and development of affordable housing and makes an attempt to define agenda for increasing housing numbers in the affordable housing for the EWS/LIG segment of population.
India is a nation with the second highest population in the world. With dwindling job opportunities in the rural setup, the population seeks employment in metropolitan cities.

Abstract— Spotted stink bug, Perillus bioculatus female bug lays 25-30 rounded black eggs. Eggs hatch in 5-6 days. The 1st instar nymph lasts for 3.33 days (ranged 3-4 days), however the second instar nymphal period is completed in 3.67 days (ranged 3-4 days), while the 3rd instar takes 4 days (ranged 4 days). The 4th and final instars nymph lasts for 4.67 days (4-5 days), however adult period lasts 6.67 days (ranged 6-7 days). The P. bioculatus was found to complete its life cycle on an average in 22.33 days (ranged 20-24 days) in the laboratory. In a laboratory experiment on feeding potential of different stages of bug showed that a single bug consumed 22.0 grubs (ranged 20-22 grubs) during its life period. This bug is recorded as a limiting factor of Z. bicolorata.

Urbanization and Crime in India A Temporal Analysis from 1991 to 2011ijtsrd
Urbanization is social as well as an economic process it is a population shift from a rural agrarian society to an industrialized urban society. It is a result of the movement of rural to urban migration in search of a better quality of life, as well as is an outcome of natural population growth in urban areas. Urbanization is considered an indicator of the socio economic progress of a society. It has been considered by most of the researchers that more urbanized countries are economically as well as socially well developed. In the economic aspect, urbanization is good for the development of a region because it promotes industrial growth and the development of the economy. However, rapid urbanization and expansion of cities as a result of continuous migration have created various problems in Indian cities. From a social point of view, there are several adverse impacts of urbanization crime is one of them, which is recognised as the most negative effect of urbanization in urban areas especially in developing countries. Crime is one of the most contemporary social problems in urban areas of developing countries, and it is directly or indirectly correlated to the unplanned urbanization process. Some special urban characteristics such as size, high population density, heterogeneous population, impersonality, unemployment, urban poverty, and poor quality of life are responsible for the high crime rate in urban areas. The main objective of this paper is to understand some of the general theoretical as well as quantitative perspectives within which the link between urbanization and crime is explained in the best possible way in the context of India from 1991 to 2011.

Paper looks at the option of adopting dual strategy , revolving round not only rationalising the development of cities but also promoting ruralisation through effective planning. New option will look at making villages more self-contained, self-sufficient, providing basic amenities and services besides generating employment for the rural inhabitants, creation of synergy between rural and urban settlements, rationalising planning, promoting accessibility, minimising mobility, planning for people not for vehicle and creating green built environment..
Paper looks at the current status of cities and urbanization, issues faced by urban sector and suggest strategies to make cities more smart and sustainable.
Designing for smart and Inclusive Cities in indiaJitKumarGupta1
Making cities Smart remains an illusion/ mirage and a fallacy in this world, which is illogically and irrationally being chased and promoted by politician, administrators and people in the power. How can cities be made Smart, both conceptually and physically, when cities are marked by dualities and contradictions, when it cannot take care of its stakeholders; Create ownership among them; provide them basic infrastructures, amenities and services; assure them appropriate employment and economic options; provide them with reasonable shelter; ensure healthy living. Cities cannot be made Smart till poverty continue to rule the cities; where planning remains marginalized/diluted; where multiplicity of agencies continue to operate and rule in contradiction to each other; where decision made remain mired with subjectivity; where there is total lack of ownership; where leadership has no understanding of the city growth and development and where manpower deployed remain inadequately qualified to understand and address the issues of urbanization. Cities would require more focus and will need care and caution, provided with the input of professionals who can lead the cities to make them more livable. I think need is to move from and focus on promoting livability rather than smartness. How can we achieve the objective of livability, should remain the agenda for all professionals and stake holders involved with making cities Smart.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Abstract: In India, one of every three urban people lives in slums. Land value are extradianaryly high and living
conditions accordingly are worse in the million plus cities Slums have grown simultaneously with the growth of
towns and cities partially in large industrial cities prohibeteration of slums has been taking place whenever the
urban resources are stretched by intense population pressure. Industries in all major towns and cities have
attracted a sizable number of people from rural areas who were reeling under the pressure of poverty there by
leading to proliferation of slums at a faster rate. Such people who came to the cities in search of livelihood
settled themselves in vacant places, due to lack of any basic civic amenities and these areas have soon grown
into slums where people live under unhygienic and insanitary conditions in India slums population has been
growing at an alarming rate. Visakhapatnam the slums have been more or less a result of the rapid
industrialization it experienced over the last four decades heavy influx of laborers from rural to the port city has
meant a growth in slum population at a rate higher than 6% perannum.During October,1985 and aprial,1986
the urban community development project of municipal corporation of Visakhapatnam has conducted as survey
of slums in the city on the state of physical amenities in the slums and socio-economic conditions of slum-
dwellers. Most of the Visakhapatnam slum dwellers live under sub-standard environmental conditions. In this
paper we presented growth of slums and their characteristics.
Key Words: Alarming rate, industrial, population, sub-standard.
I. Introduction
The phenomenon of urbanization in conjunction with industrialization has resulted in the growth of
slums. The sprouting of slums occur due to many factors, such as the shortage of developed land for housing,
the high prices of land and building material beyond the reach of urban poor, a large influx of rural migrants to
the cities and they are compelled to live in chaotically occupied, unsystematically developed and generally the
most neglected areas which are over populated by persons and over crowded with ill repairs and neglected
structures (Siva Raju & Udaya Kumar, 1986)
There are many factors that contribute to the continued formation and expansion of slums. Among
these are rapid rural-to-urban migration, policy failure, increasing urban poverty and inequality, population
growth and globalization. While more people are migrating from rural areas to towns and cities, urban areas are
not expanding enough, there are not enough affordable houses, and municipalities are not being able to provide
enough accommodation. Therefore, the in-migrants are forced to occupy illegal settlements on marginal lands
at the urban periphery, along railways and riversides, or on other hazardous areas that are not suitable for
development leading to expansion of slums. According to Retnaraj (1998) it is generally believed that urban
growth is mainly due to three components, viz. natural growth, migration and changes in urban jurisdiction.
Natural growth represents the rate of growth of population, (which reflects the difference in the change in birth
and death rates). Migration is considered to be an important contributing factor to the process of urbanization.
Not only rural-urban migration, urbanization or population growth etc. that is the cause of slum
formation, but also the failure of governments, failed policies, corruption, inappropriate regulation,
dysfunctional land markets, unresponsive financial systems etc. to provide low income people with essential
public infrastructure and services (UN Habitat, 2003). Result of lack of basic public services and facilities to
sustain slum dwellers exposed them to many problems related to health (Alberti & weddell, 2000). For
instance, water-borne diseases, such as malaria, cholera, typhoid, and malnutrition, child mortality are common
in addition slum dwellers are prone to polluted and hazardous areas example next to toxic plants, on areas
threatened by land slip or waste water disposal areas, flood and environmental hazardous and they are
vulnerable to risk. The contamination of water by human and animal waste is responsible for the scourge of
chronic diarrhea, which kills infants. Urban slums are marked by deplorable living environment and are often
marked by a lack of civic amenities and facilities leading to environmental degradation and higher incidences of

morbidity and mortality (Anuradha Banerjee, 2006). Generally, the causes and effects of slum formation are
manifold and are not the focus of this study.
The growth of population was more than 80% during 1971-81 and 37.11% during 1991-2001. Due to
formation of GVMC and merger of surrounding villages, several well established urban components of the city
are located within the GVMC. The details of population of the Municipal Corporation Visakhapatnam and now
functioning as the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation are given About one third of population of
Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation's reside in slums, squatters and other poor settlements. Their
contribution to city‟s economy has also been growing over the period. In the absence of developed land and
clear policy to address their problems, the poor suffer from many inadequacies in terms of access to basic
services and socio-economic needs. The distribution of slums is scattered all over the city but main
concentration is observed in older parts of the city and also nearer to industrial establishments. Most of the slum
dwellings are „Kachcha‟ with no proper sanitary facilities of water supply and showing haphazard growth of
huts along the roads and on unauthorized lands and also government lands. It is necessary, therefore, to
articulate policies and programmes to mainstream the slum communities with the city, both in terms of
infrastructure provision and social and economic development.
II. Main Objectives of the Study
1. Causes for growth of urbanization and slums formation in city.
2. Trace of the Infrastructural facilities in slums.
3. Policy and suggestions.
III. Study Areas Profile
Visakhapatnam, popularly known as Vizag, is a fast developing port city. With a population of 15, 00,000 in
2001 and a land area of 530 square kilometres, Visakhapatnam is the country‟s largest city in terms of land and
Andhra Pradesh is second largest urban agglomeration in population. On account of rapid industrialisation, there
has been significant migration into the city. The city was originally a small fishing village but due to its natural
harbour it developed into a major port. It has experienced rapid industrialisation with the growth of major
industries, including steel, petroleum refining and fertiliser. With the formation of “Greater Visakhapatnam” in
2005 the city‟s development is set for a quantum leap. The Municipal Corporation of Visakhapatnam, prior to its
constitution as Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation in 2005 has a jurisdiction of 111 square
kilometres with a population of 9. 69 lakhs as per the 2001 census while the Visakhapatnam Urban
Agglomeration covered approximately 5.3 square kilometres with a population of 13.62 lakhs. The government
of Andhra Pradesh has reconstituted the Municipal Corporation of Visakhapatnam in the year 2005 by extending
the jurisdiction and by merging the adjoining municipality and panchayat. The reconstituted Greater
Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation has an area of 515 square kilometres with a population of 14.5 million.
Thus the GVMC is representative of the urban agglomeration in terms of area as well as population. The
Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority has a jurisdiction of 1701 square kilometres and covers a
population of 22.02 lakhs.
IV. Review Of Literature
D.Retnaraj (1998)i
Causes it is generally believed that urban growth is mainly due to three components,
viz natural growth, migration and changes in urban jurisdiction. Natural growth represents the rate of growth of
population, which reflects the difference in the relates of change in birth and death rates. Migration is considered
to be an important contributing factor to the process of urbanization.
The United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS) (2001)ii
, along with other United Nations
agencies, continues to recognize that urbanization offers both promise and perils. While the promise of
urbanization is highlighted, in statements such as, “as more and more people make cities their home, cities will
be the arenas in which some of the biggest social, economic, environmental and political challenges will be
addressed, and where solutions will be found”, the perils are also described, “if cities are hubs of dynamism,
change and opportunity, they are also places of exploitation, disease and unemployment. Crime, drug abuse and
pollution e increased in growing numbers of cities. New tensions are emerging between migrants and
established residents, adding to already sharp divisions along class, racial and ethnic lines. In many cities, slum
dwellers account for 50 per cent of the population or even more, with little or no access to adequate housing and
basic services”.
Chandramouli, Dr.C. I.A.S. (2003)iii
, Living conditions have a direct impact on public health. One of
the biggest challenges that face urban planners worldwide is the proliferation of slums in urban areas and the
host of health hazards that they bring along in their wake. Though the prolific spread of slums has been a
rampant problem in urban areas worldwide, there is little by way of an empirical database upon which scientific
planning could be based. With a view to bridge this data gap, the Census of India 2001 has sought to collect and
3. Sky Booming Urban Slums In Metro Cities Of India…
DOI: 10.9790/5933-06437783 www.iosrjournals.org 79 | Page
compile disaggregated data on slums. The concept of slums and its definition vary from country to country
depend in upon the socio-economic conditions of society. The basic characteristics of slums are - dilapidated
and infirm housing structures, poor ventilation, acute over-crowding, and faulty alignment of streets, inadequate
lighting, and paucity of safe drinking water, water logging during rains, absence of toilet facilities and non-
availability of basic physical and social services. The living conditions in slums are usually unhygienic and
contrary to all norms of planned urban growth and are an important factor in accelerating transmission o various
air and water borne diseases.
Amitab Kundu (2009)iv
analyzed that migration from rural to urban areas in India too has serious
problems of comparability. The scope and coverage of data compilation have varied significantly from one
census to the other and over different rounds of the National Sample Survey (NSS). The data problems pertain
not only to the distribution of migrants across differ streams within and across the districts and states, due to
not-too-infrequent reorganization of state and district boundaries, but also their duration of stay in the city.
Despite these problems, however, the data on the total number of migrants are fairly robust and comparable over
time (Kundu2006). One may add that even the percentage of lifetime migrants, which in 2001 was slightly
above that of 1991, is significantly below that of 2001 was slightly above that of 1991, is significantly below
that of 1961 and 1971. The data from NSS too, is significantly of men, which is often linked to the strategy of
seeking livelihood (as opposed to family-lined migration for women), has gone down systematically over the
past few decades. This can be attributed to the process of urbanization under globalization, making the cities
unaffordable to the poor, besides the regular slum clearance programmers whereby development authorities or
municipal corporations bulldoze unauthorized structures, often at the initiative of elite and middle class-based
resident associations. Thus, it is not so much the reactionary policies, of the market for land and basic services,
combined with a sense of “others” among urbanites, have become the major barrier.
v
A “non-notified slum” is a compact urban area with a collection of Poorly built tenements, mostly of
temporary nature, crowded together Usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities in
Unhygienic conditions, if at least 20 households lived in those area. and Urban areas notified as slums by
respective municipalities, Corporations, local bodies or development authorities were treated as “Notified
slums”. And On an average, about 205 households live in a notified slum and 112 in a non-notified slum.

Government of India (GOI) announced a prestigious scheme namely Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) for
slum dwellers and urban poor for achieving inclusive and sustainable Growth of the urban areas. Government of
India will extend support under JNNURM to the States that are willing to assign property rights to people living
in slum area to create
a slum free India in five years.
V. Methodology
We collect the data about the total slum by randomly to the purpose of the study. As well as depend on
secondary data to understand burning problems of urban slums in the national and analyzed with various
national sample surveys. In this study we collect the data from the whole slum problems ---i.e. (physical
settings of the slum, civil amenities of the slums) compared with state and national samples.

Above table 1 shows that the GVMC is characterized by a very significant presence of the urban poor,
with a growing poverty profile. Slum settlements have multiplied over decades and the living conditions of the
poor have not improved. Environmental decline, vehicular pollution, inadequate basic services and
infrastructure in the poor settlements hit the poor. Slums are scattered across the city and surrounding areas,
with high population densities and the number of people inhabiting them is around 5.5 lakh. It is estimated that
more than half of these slums are on GVMC and Government lands, and the rest on lands belonging to various
public entities. Poverty has a visible gender dimension too. The incidence of poverty among women is higher
and female-headed households constitute the poorest of poor. The poor, not only habitat in slums of GVMC area
but are spread in squatter and informal settlements in small groups deprived of basic services. This makes them
4. Sky Booming Urban Slums In Metro Cities Of India…
DOI: 10.9790/5933-06437783 www.iosrjournals.org 80 | Page
more vulnerable to vagaries of nature and threat of eviction. A major problem is the incorporation of 32villages
around Visakhapatnam in the GVMC. Almost all these villages are inhabited by poor and the infrastructure is
very low. These areas should be taken as „poor areas‟ and special programmes need to be initiated to develop
them on par with the city. According to data from the GVMC, the total number of slums are about 741
inhabited by about 1, 25,049 male and 24,187 female household heads, which is 83.79% and 16.21%,
respectively. Out of the 741 slums only 521 are notified slums and the remaining are categorised as unidentified
slum. This means more than a quarter of slums are not officially recognised. Thus these slums and their
dwellers are not entitled for the developmental programmes and other special benefits provided for the slum
dwellers. The overall slum population is 5, 52,859 among which 50.74% and 49.26% are male and female in
their gender groups, respectively shows the distribution of slums by their development mode. About 98% of the
slums are being developed by providing basic infrastructural facilities to some extent.

Above table show that the city population has increased from 1,08,042 to 17,03, 320 during the past six
decades at an increase rate of about 16 times, while the slum population has increased from 27,000 to 5,58,000
at an increase rate of 21 times over the period. The growth of slum population over the period is relatively
higher than the total city population in all the periods (except in the period 1951-61). However, the city
population growth as well as slum population growth has shown decline in the period 1981-91, when compared
to the growth rate of 1971-81. Another important aspect, the percentage of slum population to total population,
has shown increase from 24.38 per cent to 32.76 per cent over the period. It is evident from the above analysis
that the growth of slum population is very rapid over the period.
6.2 Communities
Slum population in GVMC is heterogeneous in character - with Hindus, Muslims and Christians having
migrated from different neighbouring villages, Languages predominantly spoken in slums in Greater
Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation are Telugu and Oriya.
6.3 Land Holdings:
Slums in GVMC are located on GVMC, Govt lands, Railway, Port, Endowment, Wakf and private
lands as given in figure:1 Government of Andhra Pradesh classified all the slums on government land into
objectionable and unobjectionable. Categorisation as "objectionable" was based on location and land use -
location on riverbeds, low lying areas, drains, road margins, etc. In case of surrounding areas, they were the
small and scattered villages inhabited by the poor; particularly the labour from the industrial areas. They suffer
from worse deprivations in terms of physical and social amenities as well as sustainable livelihoods.

Basic services: This makes them more vulnerable to vagaries of nature and threat of eviction. At present there
are 742 slums and the slum population is over 6 lakhs. A major problem is the incorporation of 32 villages
around Visakhapatnam in the GVMC. Almost all these villages are inhabited by poor and the infrastructure is
very low. These areas should be taken as „poor areas‟ and special programmes need to be initiated to develop
them on par with the city.

Urban poverty in Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation is presented. More than one-fifth of Greater
Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation's population reside in slums, squatters and other poor settlements. Their
contribution to city‟s economy has been also been growing over the period. In the absence of developed land
and clear policy to address their problems, the poor suffer from many inadequacies in terms of access to basic
services, socio- economic needs. It is necessary, therefore, to articulate policies and programmes to mainstream
the slum communities with the city, both in terms of infrastructure provision and social and economic
development.

(Report: Depending upon NSS report and also GVMC Slums Status).
Table shows that the Visakhapatnam had the maximum share of 38% of the Andhra Pradesh slums. Households
had 18%. A slum has been defined as "any compact settlement with a collection of poorly built tenements,
mostly of temporary nature, crowded together, usually with inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities in
unhygienic conditions, provided at least 20 households lived there. While the survey findings point to how
government agencies have a huge task ahead to make these residential blocks livable it has indicated how the
ground situation has improved to some extent with the improvement in power supply, drainage, garbage
disposal and other facilities.
Table shows that 93.5% of slums have power supply and 41% have access to drinking water. Similarly there has
been improvement in drainage, sewerage, garbage disposal, primary education and medical facilities ranges
between 15% and 45% compared to what it was five years ago.
Pointing to how big the sanitation issue is in the case of rural areas, the NSSO data projects that as many as
about 60% rural households do not have access to toilet facilities. However, the record is better when it comes to
urban India where only less than 9% of the population still lacks the facility.
VII. Findings
1. 44% of slums are located on private land
2. only 6.5% of slums have no electricity
3. Main roads of 66% slums are concrete ones
The survey findings showed that across the country, 70.8% of households cited better accommodation as the
main reason for which they moved out of slum/squatter settlement whereas 11.7% identified proximity to the
place of work as the main reason.

VIII. Conclusions
1.Interestingly, the data shows that the proportion of people who live in slums in cities and who own their
homes is higher than those who don‟t live in slums and own homes, although this could well be a function about
the ease of home ownership in slums, both in terms of cost and the process involved.
2. And at least nine out of every 10 slum households have an electricity connection. Mint couldn‟t immediately
ascertain whether the reference is to legal electricity connections; Vizag‟s power utilities have maintained that
many of the connections in urban slums are illegal and partly responsible for the significant distribution losses
they suffer.
3.Consolidating on the past initiatives the Municipal Corporation proposed to prepare a City Development Plan
with a focus on service delivery improvements and comprehensive and citywide slum up gradation.
