METHODOLOGY

• The term “institutional framework” refers to a set of formal organizational
structures, rules and informal norms for service provisions. Such a
framework is the precondition for the successful implementation of a
project.
• A lack of a sound institutional framework is the root cause of many
failures in service delivery.
INSTITUTIONAL FRAME WORK ?
REFERENCES: Challenges in Developing an Institutional Framework

• It is a system by which a state, nation or community is governed. It is something
that makes the law of the land and ensures that all the people in that nation or
community are treated fairly by those laws.
• It makes laws for the social and economic welfare of all members of the
community.
• Governments can be classified into several types. Some of the more common
types of governments are:

GOVERNMENT ?

GOVERNANCE ?
• The exercise of political, economic and administrative authority in the
management of a country’s affairs at all levels.
• Governance is a broader notion than government. Governance involves interaction
between formal institutions and civil societies. "Governance" is the art of public
leadership. There are three distinct dimensions of governance:
 The form of political regime.
 The process by which authority is exercised in the management of a country’s
economic and social resources.
 The capacity of governments to design, formulate, and implement policies and
discharge functions.

FOUNDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

GOOD GOVERNANCE?
Good governance occurs when societal norms and practices empower and
encourage people to take increasingly greater control over their own development in
a manner that does not impinge upon the accepted rights of others.
The criteria that constitute good governance:
• Legitimacy of government (degree of "democratization"),
• Accountability of political and official elements of government (media freedom,
transparency of decision-making, accountability mechanisms),
• Competence of governments to formulate policies and deliver services,
• Respect for human rights and rule of law (individual and group rights and
security, framework for economic and social activity, participation).
REFERENCES: UNDP Internet Conference Forum on "Public Private Interface in Urban
Environmental Management“, Policy Affairs Centre

URBAN GOVERNANCE ?
• Urban governance can be defined as the many ways that institutions and
individuals organize the day-to-day management of a city, and the processes used
for effectively realizing the short term and long-term agenda of a city's
development.
Urban Governance Indicators:
• Decentralization – Financial, political
• Planning and predictability
• Effectiveness
• Private sector
REFERENCES: UNCHS Expert Group Meeting on Urban Poverty and Governance
Indicators
• Freedom,Justice,Fairness,EquitY
• Accountability and Transparency
• Responsiveness
• Participation

GOOD URBAN GOVERNANCE?
•It is a process by which quality of life in the cities can be improved. It is inextricably linked to
citizen welfare and enables the community to access the benefits of urban citizenship including
adequate shelter, security of tenure, safe water, sanitation, a clean environment, health, education and
nutrition, employment and public safety and mobility.
REFERENCES: The Governance Working Group of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences 1996.
URBAN GOVERNANCE INSTITUTIONS
• There are a large number of institutions at state and city levels associated with governing urban
areas – cities and towns. They include:
• State Level – Departments of urban administration, housing, water supply, public health,
environment, welfare, education, health, home, planning, etc. State Finance Commission, State
Election Commission, are the other institutions
• City level - Urban Local Bodies, City Police Department, Pollution Control Boards,
• Parastatal Agencies –DUDA, Development Authorities, Housing Boards, etc

IMPORTANCE OF URBAN
INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA

INTRODUCTION
• Infrastructure is the basic structure, services and facilities required for the proper
functioning of an economy.
• It refers to the structure require to support the society such as Transportation,
Agriculture, Water Management, Tele - communication, Industrial and
commercial development, power, petroleum and natural gas, Housing and other
segments such as mining, disaster management services and technology related
infrastructure.
• Urban Infrastructure refers to the physical structure present in cities and towns.
• Infrastructure development is a key role to play in both Economic growth and
poverty reduction.
Source: urban infrastructure –in-India by kanishka-87

• In the 1950s the general perception of the policy makers was that India is pre-
dominantly an agriculture-based economy.
• The importance of urban infrastructure has seen a dramatic change from the 1950s
till now.
• Its importance can easily be estimated by the fact that the percentage of urban
population increased from 17.28% in 1951 to 33% in 2015.
• The contribution of the urban population to the GDP has been calculated to be
around 35% and by 2050 it is estimated that cities would contribute 70% of
country’s GDP.

JNNURM
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission (JnNURM)
• JnNURM is a unique project dedicated to
the redevelopment of India's cities.
• Cities and towns of India constitute the
world’s second largest urban system. They
contribute over 50% of country’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and are central
to economic growth.
• JnNURM was a massive city-
modernisation scheme launched by the
Government of India under Ministry of
Urban Development.
• It was launched in 2005 for a seven-year
period (up to March 2012)

AMRUT
Atal Mission For Rejuvenation and Urban
Transformation (AMRUT)
• The scheme was launched by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in June 2015 with the
focus of the urban renewal projects is to
establish infrastructure
• The scheme is dependent with public private
partnership model(PPP). It includes various
other schemes like Swatch Bharat
Mission, Housing for All 2022, along with the
local state schemes related to water supply and
sewerage and other infrastructure related
schemes.
• The focus will be on core infrastructure services

• 500 cities across the country having a population > 1 lakh.
 Some cities situated on stems of main rivers
 A few capital cities
 Important cities located in hilly areas, islands and tourist areas
 AMRUT would have to ensure that the projects are not concentrated in a few
states and major cities. The government needs to ensure that the scheme aids
small towns across the country.

TRANSFORMATION: From JnNURM to AMRUT
Issue in JNNRUM Corrective Measure through AMRUT
1 Unsatisfactory Implementation of Reforms: Less
than 3/4th of the reforms were implemented in
North East States, Haryana and Bihar; while
some states could not even manage to roll out the
reforms.
AMRUT seeks to incentivize reform by earmarking 10%
of the total funds as an incentive to be released on
implementation of reform measures.
2 Slow Progress of Projects: Overall, only 42%
projects were completed under JNNRUM (even
after extension of deadline by 2 years).
Government would be allocating funds for these
incomplete projects and extend the deadline for their
completion. Also, now the state governments would only
submit a State Annual Action Plan based on which they
would be allocated funds. The Centre will not appraise
individual projects.
3 Narrow Eligibility Condition For Projects: The
eligibility conditions for assistance under the
JNNURM were narrow and only 63 cities/urban
agglomerations qualified for assistance under the
scheme.
AMRUT would cover projects in 500 cities and towns
each with a population of 1 lakh and above, some cities
situated on stems of main rivers, a few capital cities and
important cities located in hilly areas, islands and tourist
areas.
4 Limited Scope of Modernization: JnNURM
focused upon treatment of sewage and garbage,
augmentation of water supply, building roads and
flyovers.
New additions being introduced include digitization and
Wi-Fi zones in cities, aimed at improving urban
governance.

JnNURM POSITIVES(UIG)
• According to the MoUD, as on july 2012, there were a total of 554 projects approved
under UIG with a total cost of 622.53 billion.
• Out of these 554 projects:
 Maharashtra (with 5 mission cities) had the maximum number of 80 projects,
 Gujarat (with 5 mission cities) at 72,
 West Bengal (with 2 mission cities) at 69,
 Andhra Pradesh (with 4 mission cities) at 52 and
 Tamil Nadu (with 3 mission cities) at 48.
• When it comes to implementation of reforms, initiation of early action to get projects
approved, commitment to speedily implement projects and the inclination to take up
parallel urban initiatives, andhra pradesh, gujarat, karnataka, maharashtra, tamilnadu
madhya pradesh and west bengal has showngood number of urban best practices.

Corporation and taking up innovative IT solutions for improving urban water supply
management through Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) in
Vijayawada
• In Gujarat, the introduction of Bus Rapid Transit System in Ahmedabad and a
citywide e-governance system to improve service delivery in Surat
• In Karnataka, using GIS for a better property tax regime, thereby also ensuring a
four-fold increase in the tax revenue of the Brihan Bangalore Mahanagar Palika, and

• In Maharashtra, Nagpur’s city-wide 24x7 water supply initiative and
• Pune’s solid waste management project integrating the informal sector, moving
towards 100 per cent scientific processing of waste.
• Tamil Nadu focused on timely implementation and completion of a large number
of their small town projects, thereby reaching the benefits to the urban residents
faster.
• There are specific instances of definite change for the better, like the project taken
up in Sellur area of Madurai to ensure better living conditions for slum dwellers
through preventing stagnation of garbage in Sellur Odai, and providing safe and
quality drinking water to slum dwellers
FEW BEST PRACTICES IN JNNURM CONTD…

FAILURE OF JnNURM
 Competence of Planners
• The mission was centrally planned in New Delhi and its objectives were blindly
accepted and adopted across the states
• The required administrative reforms and accountability were ignored.
• The infrastructure planning was limited to just addition of new Core Infrastructure as
suggested by private consultants.
• The planners were neither trained nor competent in understanding the social needs
for which they were planning
• This was one of the major flaws that resulted in failure
Source :www.effectivestates.org

 Approach adopted by Planners.
• One of the mission's primary objective was a projection that improving
infrastructure would be a solution and would cause urban renewal.
• The objective failed to account for capability/capacity & willingness of ULB
authorities to learn, participation of the citizens being limited to just inviting
comments, and lack of focused research were the important reasons for its failure.
 Funding of Projects.
• Since the Objectives of the mission were vague and not easily understood, the funds
were either diverted or misused.
The central funding had to be matched by the states to achieve stability. But lack of
monitoring, review and no provision for midterm course correction caused serious
damage to the renewal mission.

CONCLUSION
 Implementation of the mandatory and optional reforms by Government was largely satisfactory.
 Execution of a majority of test checked projects was adversely affected due to non-availability of required
land/defective designs.
 Lack of co-ordination with the related departments, splitting up of works into innumerable sub-works, change
of technology
 Monitoring mechanism was not adequate to ensure that projects were executed within time to the envisaged
quality standards.
RECOMMENDATIONS
 State Government should ensure preparation of Detailed Project Reports with authenticated inputs from
survey reports and ensure strict compliance with all the pre-requisites before commencing project execution.
 Effective co-ordination with other Departments responsible for granting clearances must be ensured.
 Government orders relating to two-stage tendering process (survey and investigation, and execution) should
be strictly adhered .
 Monitoring mechanism, as stipulated in the guidelines, should be strengthened to ensure that projects are
executed on time within the budgeted cost.

SCENARIO OF URBAN
INSTITUTIONS IN HYDERABAD

• THE QUTB SHAHI STAGE (OR) THE FIRST TWIN CITY STAGE (1591-1687).
Hyderabad city was planned on a grid pattern consisting of two main roads, running East–West and
North–South and intersecting at Charminar, the city centre.
• THE TRANSITIONAL PHASE (1687-1725).
This period began with a halt in the active life and growth of the city.
The authority was shifted from Hyderabad to Aurangabad, the Southern headquarters of Moghul
Empire.
Towards the end of 1725 Nizam Mulk Asaf Jah founded the Asaf Jahi Dynasty of Hyderabad and took
firm control of the Deccan & the Hyderabad city.
• THE EARLY ASAF JAHI PERIOD (1725-1798).
This period is characterized by two distinct phases,
• INHIBITION (1725–1763):-
It was one of the great economic stress and strain for Hyderabad because Aurangabad was still the
capital.
The death of Asaf Jahi I in 1748 and the Anglo – French struggle for supremacy over Deccan (1750-
1760) renewed political uncertainty which adversely affected Hyderabad’s growth.
• ACCELERATION (1763–1798):-
The Nizam of the Deccan, Nizam Ali Khan (1761-1796) shifted his head quarters to Hyderabad.
Hyderabad thus re-emerged as the Chief City of the Deccan after an eclipse of seventy six years.
HISTORY

4 THE SECOND TWIN CITY STAGE (1798-1874).
In 1798 two significant political decisions profoundly altered the course of the city’s development.
Decision 1:-
In the first instance the subsidiary alliance of the Nizam with the East India Company in 1798 created
Secunderabad and consequently ushered in second phase of the development of Hyderabad through
with settlements.
Decision 2:-
The Nizam’s permission for the construction of the British Residency on the North bank changed the
trend of the Hyderabad’s growth.
In 1886, the Chadargat becomes Chadarghat Municipality. The Hyderabad City Police, established in
1847, is the law and order enforcement agency.

ISSUES

CONTINUED ……
RAIN WATER PITS
A whopping Rs 100 crore collected by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal
Corporation (GHMC) from house owners and building contractors over the past
three years for digging rainwater harvesting pits have allegedly been diverted or
lying unaccounted.
The GHMC, under the Water, Land and Trees Act (WALTA) had been collecting
Rs 8 for every square yard for recharge pits. "It is evident that no proper records
were maintained about the funds.

TAX PAYERS
• Home owners who paid their tax early are disappointed with the GHMC for its failure to live up to
its promise. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation had announced that five per cent
discount would be offered on property tax for owners who paid their tax by April-end.
• With just four days to go for the first month of the current financial year to end, the tempting sop
is yet to be implemented. Over 90,000 tax payers have till now paid `22 crore, but nobody has
got the rebate.
• “The tall promises of five per cent discount on tax paid before April-end,2013.
UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE SYSTEM
 The under ground drainage system in the city is about 60 kms.
 There are about 30 NALAS in the city which are not maintaining properly and some under KABJAH
which are blocking the passage.
 Due this the rain water is stagnating on the roads.
 Through JnNURM about 266 crores has been sanctioned which are been wasted.
 Due the KABJAHS, the 30feet NALAS are getting decreased to just 7 feet.
 According to the govt about 10,000 crores has been sanctioned for improvisation.

ISSUES IN WATER SUPPLY:
HMWSSB is monitoring of water supply in the entire GHMC area including 10 peripheral municipalities
and sewerage operations in the core city
• 30 colonies in the surrounding circles of the (GHMC) have been waiting for piped water supply for the
past two years despite residential welfare associations paying their 30% contribution.
• Thirteen colonies in the GHMC's LB Nagar circle had paid their share for providing water pipeline
network in 2010.
INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF WATER:
• As against the demand of 490 Million Gallons of water per day (MGD), the HMWS&SB claims to
supply about 340 MGD but in reality not even 320-330 MGD is being supplied.
• The board is chalking out contingency plans to use additional pumping motors for drawing water from
dead storage levels of Osmansagar and Himayatsagar.

CONCLUSION :
 Clearly, the “good governance” policies did not always achieve their goals, but it can
be argued that they contributed to creating awareness among the public and within
the administration and have influenced the discourse surrounding both public service
delivery and development in the state.
 Grass root level approach like bottom up required in any decision making process at
local level and need political support .
 Making each service online is a big initiative from government but it is important
that how far it reaches a common man . ?

SOLUTIONS:
• Measuring effectiveness:
• Public opinion polling results on satisfaction with government performance.
• Polling results and customer satisfaction ratings of individual urban services.
• Rate of vandalism in public places and theft of public property.
• Rate of community participation in planning and implementation of programs.
Public Engagement in Decision-Making :
• Engage residents as elected or appointed members of governing boards of appropriate
municipal organizations, such as libraries, schools, police oversight boards or power
authorities.
• Conduct systematic public consultations before adopting plans and budgets, and adopt
results of consultations within limits of available resources

Public Information and Access:
• Provide public and media access to most city council sessions.
• Provide minutes of council sessions on notice boards at city hall, in public
libraries and other public locations.
• Publish proposed plans for land use, municipal budgets, etc. in advance for
public comment.

Questions?
The 74th Constitutional Amendment requires that 18 functions be
transferred to urban local bodies, as per Schedule XII. Yet, it can be
seen that many functions are still be held by state governments, para-
statal bodies, etc. What are your thoughts on the extent of full
decentralisation of functions? What challenges are facing state
governments from implementing the 74th CAA? How can these be
overcome?

Questions?
• What are your thoughts on the reliance of municipalities on grant funding for
their activities? What should be the political obligations for grant support to
municipalities
• What role can communities and localised user groups play in being part of such
new arrangements? How can these be integrated into the municipality’s larger
decision-making processes?
• What are the capacity issues being faced by elected representatives at the
municipal level? How can these be addressed?
• How can we provide an integrated platform for community engagement on
various public issues facing our municipalities, in a manner that is linked into
the municipality’s overall political structure, rather than treat communities
differently for each service?
