The National Housing policy of the government of India has highly laid emphasis on the need for public sector agencies to increasingly play the role of a facilitator of the housing process and create the enabling environment in which the requisite inputs would flow into the housing sector more easily than in the past.

It is an area where basic amenities like water supply, drainage for standard living are lacking, insanitary conditions prevail and diseases flourish.
Urban population in developing countries has grown 6.8 times between 1950 and 2000.
While it has merely doubled in the developed world in the corresponding period a rapid urbanization has put tremendous pressure on existing infrastructure and public services; pollution too is on and most strikingly, the population of the urban poor is increasing in many developing country cities.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

THE SLUM AREAS ( IMPROVEMENT AND CLEARANCE ) ACT , 1956
16. Slum Clearance - Improving the existing conditions of slums
Objectives :
• To bring down the disparity in living standards of the people of various people classes .
• To prevent the occurrence of epidemics in the town or city
• To provide the absolute basic minimum standards of healthy amenities for the living
• To remove the ugly spots or slums from the map of town or city
18. 1 ) Complete Removal Method
• In this method the ill constructed houses are demolished and only those which are
really good are retained .
• The open spaces left are used for widening of roads . providing recreation grounds or
building new houses of approved standards .
• Transit Camps in the form of temporary buildings near the slum areas should be
constructed to accommodate those displaced in the process of slum clearance .
• For the selection of the slums areas for clearance as against improvement , the
following two important factors should be considered
a) The degree of public health hazards involved
b ) The economic potential of the land
19. • One method of not aggravating the housing shortage is to take up slum -
improvement scheme .
• As the slums are developed due to poor drainage system and unhealthy conditions
.Hence the drainage arrangement is modified and improved
• Public utility services like water , drainage , electricity , gas may be provided in the
affected area .
• Low portions of the old slums like ditches , or swamps may be filled up and then the
existing roads may be widened .
• With proper planning and improvement works it is possible to make the slums
slightly more habitable at the minimum cost
2 ) Improvement Method
20.
21. Prevention Of Slum
The formation of slum is a very slow process and extreme care should be exercised by
the authority to prevent the springing up of new slums in the town .
Some of the important measures which can be taken to effectively prevent the slum formation
Cheap housing - Sufficient no of cheap housing should be made available to the poor people
Compulsion to employers
The employer of a good number of laborers may be compelled or forced to provide housing
accommodation for their staff .
Construction of buildings
Certain rules and regulations may be framed and strictly enforced to restrict the coming
up of buildings of subnormal standards
22.
23. Maintenance And Repair
The responsibility of maintenance and carrying out repair should be fixed and
defined in housing codes or acts . It then becomes the duty of landlord or tenant to
keep existing building in a good condition .
Rent Restriction
If provisions is made to restrict the increase of rent , tenentants will be protected
Social Education
It is possible to check the growth of slums by carrying out effective social
education of the slum dwellers , the social education makes the slum dweller
conscious of the evils of the slum , and a great improvement in the living standard of
slum dwellers could be achieved .
24. • Unauthorized Construction
• It is absolute necessary to arrest immediately the unauthorized construction in
the form of huts and temporary structures on vacant piece of land .
• The authorities concerned should take drastic action in demolishing and removing
such unauthorized construction .
25. Slum Area in Indian Cities
• It is a sad state of affair that some of the worst slum the world can be found in
major Indian cities like Mumbai , Calcutta , Ahmadabad , Surat , Chennai and
Delhi .
• The slums are spreading very rapidly due to lack of proper and effective town and
country planning .
• The Critical nature of the problem is demonstrated by the fact that 42 to 67 %
of homes do not have tap water , 26 to 50 % homes do not have toilets .
• From recent study it is reflected that nearly 74.20 % of slum exists in 222 big
towns and cities .
• With the limited resource available , the government and semi government
bodies will have to plan out intelligently slum clearance programmes to grant
adequate and decent housing to every human being
