Executive Summary
Introduction
Government of India (GoI) and Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) have made several initiatives
through various programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery.
Subsequently, the GoI and GoMP executed various program such as City Development (a) Urban
Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) (b) Integrated Housing
and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) (c) the GoMP initiated DFID funded MPUSP which links
reform with investment in infrastructure for the poor, etc. Other than this, there are several
programmes that have been initiated by the GoI and GoMP.
This is the Phase-II assignment of GoMP where they are preparing City Development plans (CDP) for 258
towns. In the phase-I stage they already done CDPs for 258 towns. In this Phase DMG Consulting Pvt. Ltd
did CDPs for 7 towns out of the 258 towns.
Based on this programme, GoMP launched Mukhyamantri Sahari Adhusanrachna Bikas Yojana, which is
going to be, funded all the projects proposed in the CDPs to the respective ULB.
Objectives and scope of the Assignment
The objective of the assignment is to prepare a City Development plan (CDP) with the vision of a desired
future perspective for the city and formulate a strategic framework and interventions through sectoral
plans translated into actions that define on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to
work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next five years. The above foremost objective is to
achieve and translate into developmental outputs in the form of projects, programme and
implementation process which intend to cover the following:
The CDP will scale up existing urban development and poverty alleviation schemes within a
comprehensive and coherent strategic planning framework in order to ensure optimal benefit
from available resources for the citizens of the Urban Local Body.
The CDP should aim to catalyze new thinking and provoke debate through a consultative
stakeholder driven process and vision.
Strategic thrusts of the CDP will be built around the lessons and findings of a comprehensive and
rigorous stakeholder consultation and documentation process.
It is expected that the CDP will serve the requirements of the UIDSSMT and IHSDP programmes
as well as JNNURM and other development schemes.
The CDP will generate specific priority actions and projects that can be the basis for mobilizing
funding from diverse sources.

Physical Features of the Town
Gurh is a small town in the southern part of district of Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. It is located at a 25 km
distance from the Main City Rewa. It is located 520 km distance from its State Main City Bhopal. Gurh
has a good connectivity with the adjoining areas. The town covers an area of 8.50 Sq. Kms. which
accommodates a population of 14,590 (2011 Census). The town consists of 15 wards. Most of the
population is concentrated along the national highway 75 which passes from the southern part of the
town. The terrain of the region is typified as plain to gently sloping towards north. The medium deep
black soil is intensively cultivated and is highly productive. Gurh is located at the altitude of 450m above
the mean sea level. The climate of the area is relatively moderate. During the winter season the
temperature falls down to as low as 6 degree Celsius. In summer, temperature rises to 42 degree during
the month of May and June. The average rainfall varies between 95cm to 105cm. During monsoon
months the relative humidity remains more than 65% normally. The month of October witnesses the
transition from monsoon to winter
Demographic profile of the town
As per, the census 2011, the population of Gurh town was 14590 persons. The town has witnessed a
steady decrease in the growth rates in population since 1981 to 2011. The reduced growth rates in
population can be attributed to the slowdown in the local economy, lack of infrastructure and
employment in the town. The maximum decadal growth of the town was recorded 1981-91 at 41%
which has declined to around 19% in 2001-2011 decade. As per the Census 2011, the gross population
density in Gurh was 17.50 persons per ha, which has increased from 13 PPH in 1991. Ward number 4,
Page 2

6,8,9,10,11 have maximum concentration of people while other wards have mostly vacant agricultural
land.
Population projection.
The design population for the next 25 years have been forecasted for Gurh. Decadal Growth trends and
the guidelines detailed out in CPHEEO Manual have also been considered. Thus the population has been
taken as calculated by Incremental increase method which is much close to being realistic. It is
estimated to 20292 populations by the end of the year 2035.
Socio - Economic profile of the town
To assess the socio-economic profile of the project cities, understand the profile of the residents, their
access to services and their priorities for improvement of the existing infrastructure etc, a diagnostic
study is required to be carried out.
As of 2011 the sex - ratio of Gurh was 910 females/1000males which is much less than average of
Madhya Pradesh (920) and India (933)
As of 2011 the Literacy rate in Gurh was 69.02 per cent (male literacy rate of 76.53 per cent and
female literacy rate of 60.77 per cent) which seem to be much lower than the national average for
urban India for the year 2001.
The total number of Household is 2112 as per the 2001 census. The average household size in Gurh
works out to be 5.89, which is almost at par with the average household size of the state.
As per 2001 census, the Gurh Nagar Parishad has low Work Force Participation Rate (WFPR), WFPR
is recorded at 42.64% indicating high dependency ratio, while the National Urban average accounts
for 32.25%.
Industrial Growth Pattern and Potential

The Gurh town has no major industries within its vicinity; however there are industrial units within the
Rewa District and in surrounding districts which provides direct and indirect employment to resident of
the town apart from Small Scale Household Industries within town.
Trade and commerce
The town is a major centre for the wholesale trade for the nearby villages, as much as 70% of the
working population is involved in the tertiary sector. Gurh town has small scale markets like krishi upaj
mandi and chauhata bazaar for the local requirement. The economy of the city is predominantly agobased and with production based in the surrounding hinterland. Town doesnt have any grain market;
hence people have to go in another town to sell their produce. Most of the commercial activities are
centrally located along the highway. The products sold in the informal markets are vegetables, fruits,
cloths, and garments, hardware and grocery items. The overall economy of the town is highly localised
economy. The economy is confined to only low economic activities of the hinterland which is primarily
agrarian.
Physical planning and Growth management
Page 3

The total area of Gurh Nagar Parishad is about 850 Ha, with a population of about 14590 as per 2011
Census. Out of the total area, the town has approximately 18% developed area and 82% undeveloped
area or agricultural land. The spatial growth pattern suggests that the town is predominantly developing
along the NH-75. in the form of ribbon development. Gurh Bazar is the major commercial area in the
town where all major commercial and trade related activities are concentrated. These areas have high
density with mixed land use of residential and commercial development. Consequently, any new
development impending in the city heed directly to the existing commercial centers to achieve
maximum economies of scale. The impact is vivid in the existing spatial development. As far as,
distribution of population within the town is concerned, the ward nos. 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 have the
maximum concentration of population as per Census 2011. As far as population density is concerned,
the core and old areas of the town including some outer areas are densely populated.
Housing: As stated before there is a higher population density along road in the centre of the town.
Outer parts of the towns are sparsely populated relative to the inner town. In the town out of the total
number of houses more than 25.5% are permanent in nature, 74% accounts for semi-permanent and a
miniscule percentage are temporary houses. As much as 60% of the houses are made of mud or
unburned bricks with most of the houses using indigenous locally available materials for construction of
houses. Based on the current rate of generation of housing stock and the growth in the number of
household it is evident that right now there is a shortage of around 180 dwelling units.
Futures steps towards ensuring sustainable growth of the town are proper land utilization and check the
growth of unauthorized developments. The past trend of development shows growth along the major
road due to the presence of suitable land mainly along the transportation lines i.e. NH 75 leading up to
the rivers in the north. Since the town is semi-urban in nature, there is abundance of agricultural land
near by the existing development in all directions. The growth potential is also along the other major
transportation line, but the development is quite slow, and unregulated.
Infrastructure
a) Water Supply
The water supply system in Gurh Nagar Parishad is predominantly depending on Renuka and Bichhiya
River and to some extent on ground water. To meet the present demand of water for town, water is
being supplied from dug well through pumps of different capacity installed at nearby Bichhiya and
Renuka River. The quality of water drawn is fairly good. The city encounters bit water shortage during
summers when the Renuka and Bichhiya Rivers dry up. The present water distribution system includes
water pipelines. There are 2 Over Head Tanks (OHT) in Gurh with 3.25 lakh litre and 1.25 lakh litre
capacity. Both are in good working condition. 1 hour daily water is supplied in the connected wards no 3
and 13. Number of connections is 100. There are around 23 open wells. And there are around 160 hand
pumps in the town. These together provides for the total water needs of the Town. The ward no. 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have working water supply network. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and 15 dont have any
water supply network. The per capita supply is estimated under the existing supply system which is very
low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd.
b) Sewerage and Sanitation
There is no underground sewerage system existing in the city as on date. Sewerage and sanitation
condition in the town is poor. Every community produces both liquid and solid waste. The liquid
portion of wastewater is essentially the water supply of the community after it has been fouled by a
variety of uses. The sewage from households and other commercial establishments flows along with
storm water in common open drains, which is mainly governed by the topography and direction of slope
Page 4

in town. Taking 80% of the present water supply as sewage, the current sewerage generation for town is
approximately 1.57 MLD. The sewage disposal system in the town is mainly consisting of individual
disposal system that includes water closet, soak pits or pit type latrines, open drains. But since the
economic conditions in the town is poor and many residents cannot afford such facilities so they resort
to open defecation. This is a cause of concern as there is a possibility of underground or well water
contamination. Regarding these public toilets are very much required in the wards 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13,
14 and 15 where the open defecation is most problematic. The sewerage system in town needs to
develop with 60% sewer network coverage to households by the year 2015 and 100% by 2025, for this
comprehensive steps like establishment of treatment facilities, extension of network etc are required at
various levels, these steps are identified in the following report.
c) Solid waste management
The solid waste management in the town is done by the Nagar Parishad. They have one tractor and two
trolleys for the collection and transportation of the solid waste. The Nagar Parishad has a dumping
ground of two acre area. The average total generation of the solid waste is around one ton. The average
solid waste generation in the town is low i.e., 204.13 grams per capita per day, which is relatively less
than the standards considered in CPHEEO Manual for small towns of 250 gm per capita per day. This is
because of town basic character which is in transitional phase of rural to semi-urban. Seven containers
and dustbins provided in the town. The future strategy for solid waste management in the town must be
covering the whole part of the town including the present as well as the future developments. A waste
treatment facility should be established in the vicinity of the town in order to treat around 3 MT of
waste per day.
d) Drainage and flood Protection
Drainage network of the city forms an important part of sewerage storm water and domestic waste
water. Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area. At
present the town does not have a comprehensive and effective drainage system and facility of
treatment plant. The drainage condition survey in the town indicates that the drainage network in Gurh
is open and unorganized. Most of the drains do not have capacity to flow the waste water as they are
damaged and remain chocked due to presence of gray matter and disposal of solid waste in it. This leads
to un-channelized flow during the rainy season. Around 60% of the existing drains are in bad shape and
need immediate planning and management intervention. There is around 7.8km of drains in the town.
In ward 3 and 12, the waste water from adjoining area spilled over the road and creates unhygienic
conditions. The situation was further aggravated in town due to lack of sewerage system resulting in
sewage flow in the storm water drains which finally get discharged into the River Renuka and Bichhiya. It
is required that the water is treated before being discharged into these water bodies in order to avoid
their qualitative degradation.
e) Traffic and transportation:
Gurh is well connected by road and railways. The link between transportation and the development of
Gurh town was strong and interesting. It is because the Gurh, a class - IV town with a population of about
14590 as per the Census 2011 town was predominantly developed at a strategic location at an
important linkage route, National Highway 75 passes through the town which connects the town to
Rewa in the west. It goes through the southern part of the town. The predominant mode of travel in
town is cycles followed by motorized vehicles such as two wheeler (Scooter & Motorcycle) and private
transport which includes Three Wheelers , four wheelers (Tempo, Jeeps, cars etc.). Towns in semi-urban
and not too big in nature all the important place are in vicinity. Thus, only major working population
Page 5

uses their own means of transport such as cycles, scooters, motorcycle, and cars etc. for their workplace
and other places for day to day needs and rest of the people prefer to walk to their destination. Proper
road width and spacing are important in reducing traffic on roads. Unfortunately many of the important
roads in town have become so narrow to facilitate the increasing flow of vehicles. The unauthorized
encroachment along both the sides of roads has covered all the available shoulders thereby reducing
ROW from 20m to 6m further decreased the carrying capacity of roads. In the coming years the ribbon
development, growing number of vehicles and maintenance and modification of Proper cross-sectional
elements of the roads will be the key areas of concern.

The local public transport modes are cycle rickshaw, tempo, auto and mini busses and hired cars and
jeeps. The tempo and jeeps are the major mode of public transport in inter-city movement. The traffic
system is regulated under the Rewa District Office of Madhya Pradesh Transport Department. There is
only a few inter-city bus services and there is no other mode of public transport in the town. There is no
significant intra-town public transport option.
f) Fire service
As has been explained earlier, unorganized on-street parking and economic activities in town has led to
increase congestion, rampant encroachment and more importantly development of potential fire
generating points in the core area of the town. Fire fighting services is available in the town but there is
no separate office for the fire fighting operations. Therefore, the responsibility of fire service has been
delegated to the municipality, among other tasks.
g) Street lighting
There are about 242 street light poles in the town and around 210 have CFL and 32 have incandescent
bulb. There will be a requirement of 218 more electric light by 2035. Street light has been provided in all
wards. There are some outer wards like ward 14 and 15 where the number of street light is small and
some stretches of the road have no street light in those outer wards which are more rural in nature. The
street lights can be integrated with the heritage structures to in order to increase their beauty. In order
to improve the quality of street lighting and to reduce high O&M cost, use of modern power saving
technology should be encouraged.
h) Social Infrastructure
Health facilities
Presently, there is one 30 bed Community Health Centre (CHC) and no Primary Health Centres (PHC)
is available in the town. .Two ambulance is available in the town 24 hour for Janani Suraksha Yojna. One
Ayurvedic hospital is also in working condition. One veterinary hospital is also provided by government.
Apparently, the existing health systems seem to be adequate to meet the local requirements of existing
population. However, the demand for health services is bound to increase along with growth in
population and there is a need for creating a specialty hospital for the growing population. Looking at
the development of Gurh and its future growth prospects, it is important to initiate and strengthen the
health facility services for municipal body itself to provide the effective health services to the citizens of
the town.
Educational facilities
Gurh has an average literacy rate of 69.88%, higher than the national average of 65%: male literacy is
Page 6

75.97%, and female literacy is 63.17%. There are many schools located in the town. The town has 1
higher secondary, 1 secondary and 3 primary schools in Gurh town. There are also three Anganwadi
Kendra in the town. There are also many students who have to commute daily to the Rewa town for
higher education. There are also a few slums in the town which does not have any school. As part of the
development work the GNP has to ensure that the backward sections of the society receive basic
education so that the community can be uplifted as a whole.
Environment
At regional level, the region is rich of valuable minerals, forests and wild animals. As per the existing land
use 2011 the town has plenty of agricultural land but does not have any designated and organized
green space or open spaces for the citizens of town. Presently there is no planned water front
development for the water bodies nearby. Even though there are no major industries in the town,
environment has to be monitored and protected. Right now there is no such program but it should be
taken up in the near future. To attract the potential tourists to Gurh, different water front activities like
boating, landscape along the riverside should be developed. The water pollution is major concern
present day in Gurh. Due to the discharge of drains and poor solid waste management, the water might
get polluted. Also increase in the number of vehicles in the city causes different environmental
problems. Gurh required an integrated development process, which has to be inexpensive, functionally
utilitarian, environmentally healthy, recreationally adequate and aesthetically appealing.
Heritage Conservation and Tourism potential of the town
At town level, Gurh has few tourist destinations. Kashtaharnath Temple and the old fort are notable
among them. The old fort built by Jayant Rao is lying in dilapidated condition due to the negligence of
the archaeological and tourism department of the state. River front development of Bhichhiya and
Bihiya and ponds) can be developed as recreational area for town and also as a major eco-tourism site
for the locals. Baba Bhairao temple is situated at a distance of 5km from the town and the place has
good potential for tourism as the area has good scenic beauty. The town has not been able to capitalize
its potential in this sector because of lack of awareness among people and bureaucrats, and lacks
sufficient and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services such as building lights, public
drinking water, public toilets, eating places etc. that can hold the tourist. In order to address the tourism
scenario the subject has to be addressed at regional level, such interventions has been suggested in the
report in the form of developing a tourist circuit in and around the region.
Existing Institutional framework for Development
The Elected council function is on the model of chairperson/ president-in-council system. It consists of
15 councillors representing 15 wards of GNP. Under democratic set-up, the chairperson/president is the
head of GNP. The chairperson is elected by the councillors. On the executive side, the Chief Municipal
Officer (CMO) assists the chairperson. The CMO heads the administrative wing of GNP. There are 2
sections in the GNP namely, accounts and engineering. The main activities are providing civic services,
collection of levies local taxes levy of property tax, assessment of property tax/fees, collection, birth and
death certificate, cleaning, solid waste management, street lighting, minor works and so forth. The
municipality is primarily funded by local grants. The Town and Country Planning Department and MP
Housing Board are other line departments which are involved in providing the city services. But the
main drawback among these organisation is the lack of inter departmental coordination, introduction of
computerisation in the work etc.
Investment Plan and Financing Strategies
Page 7

a) Revenue
The revenue account comprises two components - revenue income and revenue expenditure. Revenue
income comprises internal resources and external sources of income of Gurh. Internal sources of
income, also referred to as own sources of income, comprise tax and non-tax items. The external
resources come in the form of shared taxes/ transfers and revenue grants from the State and Central
Governments and loans from the Financial Institutions. Revenue expenditure comprises expenditures
incurred on salaries, operation & maintenance cost, contribution & donations and debt servicing.
i)
Income
As per the Budget, the contribution of Municipal Taxes and grants was around 37.91 Lakhs and Rs.
87.59 Lakhs for the year 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively. For the same year, the third contributor is
income from non taxes sources which has a contributing of Rs.146.4 Lakhs and 155.34 Lakhs in the
FY2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively.
Revenue expenditure
The actual income statements suggest a close-to-constant total expenditure between 2006-07 and
2010-11. However the budgeted figures are high. The actual of expenditure (not the budget) from FY
2006-07 to FY 2010-11 shows that the average total expenditure for these 5 years had been quite
low, never-the-less making a savings. This shows that the buffer margin creation from own sources of
income had been good. However, in a sharp contrast with the actual, the budgeted figures of
expenditure are quite high as compared to the earlier expenditure magnitude. In the FY 2009-10,
total expenditure was less as compare to the previous year but in FY2010-11 total expenditure of
Gurh Nagar Parishad increases very high.
ii)
Capital Account and Income
The capital account comprises capital income and capital expenditure. Capital income consists of income
earned by the council from loans raised, transfers from revenue surplus and utilization of funds from
sinking funds and grants received for undertaking capital works. The current income of Gurh is clearly
increasing every year, the income from non tax sources such as rent from municipal properties and fee
charged for various services. The net capita for the financial year 2010-11 was around 2.4 crores rupees.
iv) Savings / Over-Expenditure: Trend Analysis
There was no net savings for the GNP for the financial year 2008-09 and 2009-10, moreover there was a
loss. But after that the financial condition has improved steadily and at the end of the year 2010-11 the
net saving increased to be about 28 lakh rupees. Since the Gurh region is quite underdeveloped the
surplus income should be spent on the general welfare, maintaining a comfortable margin of surplus for
emergency situations. Gurh Nagar Parishad is in a comfortable position to invest its additional resources
for the suggested upcoming projects.
Investment Prioritization plan
Project identification
Based on the stakeholder consultation meet, the prioritization of projects was done so that the views,
aspirations and felt needs of the local officials, residents, experts, NGOs, elected representatives and
others are given due cognizance. The sectoral priority to the projects is assigned on the basis of various
Page 8

consultations and discussions held with the government departments involved in the implementation of
CDP. It also takes into account the aspirations of the residents of Gurh expressed in a workshop,
informal discussions and meetings held for the purpose. By the year 2035 the investment of around
6326 lakh rupees will be required in various identified projects.
Investment plan
The projects are to be implemented over the plan period of twenty five years as per following
implementation schedule worked out on the basis of time involved in completing the projects and the
priority decided for the same. It will be done in 5 phases
Phase I (2012-2015)
Phase II (2016-2020)
Phase III (2021-2025)
Phase IV (2026-2030)
Phase V (2031-2035)
In the overall finance plan the investment share of central government will be around 19 crores which
will be around 30% of the overall expenditure, the share of state government will be around 25.30
crores which will be about 40% of the overall share the municipal body will contribute around 12.65
crores or 20% of the share while the private sector will contribute around 6.32 crores or 10% of the
share.
Urban Reforms
In terms of compliance to the 74th Constitution Amendment Act of 1992, the Gurh Municipal Council is
yet to be complied. Devolution of function is incomplete. There is no system of e-governance in the
council. It is recommended that the Govt. of MP has to fully implement the 74th CAA in letter and spirit
by complete devolution of all functions and powers, state level reforms, Migration to double entry
accrual based accounting system and develop customize software for double entry system, involvement
of Private Sector Participation. Indeed, a well framed coordinate system shall be evolved between Nagar
Nigam and para-statals for better management. Other than these reforms provision of basic services to
urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation
and ensuring delivery of other already existing universal services of the government for education,
health and social security, have to be implemented as part of the urban reform process.
City Vision
To develop an inclusive city which is economically vibrant, ecologically sustainable and environmentally
pleasing; a city which will meet the aspirations of the local resident as well as the tourist alike and is
manageable. Quality and quantity should be ensured as per the standards for the future population in
order to develop the city future and improve the quality of life. To make Gurh city a slum free city. For
proper monitoring, management and resource mobilisation it is necessary to equipped GNP with the
latest technologies and skilled workers.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Madhya Pradesh, a centrally located state of India, with the boom in population reaching a limit of
7,25,97,565*(according to provisional population counts totals) in 2011. As the states population is
alarmingly increasing and there are constraints in the technical, financial and natural resources. So, in
order to meet the requirements of the urban local bodies of the state Government of India and the
Government of Madhya Pradesh has launched a number programmes in this regard to meet the
demands of infrastructure and service delivery. They are Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for
Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme
(IHSDP) of the Government of India (GOI) which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the
poor residing in the state.
Now Urban Local Bodies are handling the major urban related tasks and issues after the enactment of
the 74th Constitution Amendment Act. The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) through its Urban
Administration & Development Department (UADD) has held the responsibility of undertaking urban
sector reforms, in terms of capital investment in basic infrastructure for the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).
The implementation responsibility of various public welfare schemes sponsored by the Central and State
Governments is also in the hands of UADD. So keeping this aim in mind UADD has undertook
preparation of Town Development Plan (CDP). So, it is expected that the CDP will serve the
requirements of the UIDSSMT and IHSDP programmes as well as JNNURM and other development
schemes initiated to achieve the demands of infrastructure and service delivery.
In this direction, to support various Cities/Urban Local Bodies of Madhya Pradesh is the sole aim of this
exercise to prepare the Town Development Plan (CDP) for them. The CDP should come up with a
medium term strategy the ULB with a vision upto 2035 under which a City Investment Plan (CIP) will be
laid out. Based on which ULB would be able to access the funds from Madhya Pradesh Government,
Central Government or other sources for the projects to carry out on a priority level. And a Financial
Operation Plan (FOP) will also be incorporated in the CDP to guide the ULB for mobilization of various
financial resources to implement the projects identified.
1.2
Concept and Principle of City Development Plan
A CDP is a document which envisions the future development of the town in a planned manner by
following a process of planning which builds and improves the partnership of stakeholder groups
between line agencies within local bodies. It incorporates the participation of stakeholders like Trade
bodies, Citizen Forum, Professionals, Journalists and Slum dwellers and informal business entities, which
is evident for setting the direction of development in future coming years.
This is for the equitable spatial distribution of resources; increase in efficiency in the service delivery
mechanisms and in order to meet the infrastructural demands based on futuristic requirements is the
real motive of consultative approach based CDP preparation. Consultation with the stakeholder and
public participation will enable the consultants to understand the real problems encountered by the
town dwellers. Through this process management of assets of the town can be ensured in a better way,
improving services delivery towards urban poor and will provide good governance. It also encourages
the people to think about the development of their town thereby defining the development strategies.
This will give an impetus to the economic growth and poverty reduction.
There are ways and means to undertake a consultative process in a given situation in a town/town.
Therefore, DMG Consulting (P) Ltd. has undertaken discussions in a cluster of wards at a centrally
located destination so that public views are documented in a structured manner with a targeted
Page 11

audience. This has brought two aspects into the notice of consultant one is divergent views from the
public and the other is spatial disparity in terms of municipal services delivery.
The consultant has undertaken the process of consultation with groups like urban poor, women, senior
citizens, traders etc. These groups bring their needs and aspirations. Such issues are reviewed by the
CDP Consultant team before incorporating and mainstreaming the issues in CDP preparation. This
approach will strengthen inclusive planning process and will be biased towards urban poor, gender
mainstreaming issues.
The essence of planning is efficient use of public resources and demand driven services delivery
approach. It establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment decisions. The
DMG Consulting (P) Ltd. access, analyze and presents the current stage of the towns development and
sets out the directions of change. It also identifies the thrust areas based on vision of common man
and marketing the town economy for developing a sustainable town development plan, suggests
alternative strategies and interventions for bringing about the change and also provides a framework of
projects which need to be identified and implemented on priority basis.
The principle of CDP is to develop a sustainable town with quality life & infrastructure stock, improved
economic environment and competitiveness of Nagar Parishad Gurh in terms of areas of industry &
services sector with efficient and transparent town management.
The preparation of CDP will present both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the
ULBs strategic framework and investment interventions for the identified sectors, which intends to
work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next twenty five years.
1.3
Objective of the Assignment
The following objectives have been framed to achieve the goal of Town Development Plan:
1.4
Identification of the challenges which town is facing presently.
Developing a vision and perspective for the town for the growth.
To improve and strengthen the municipal services including their delivery and management
system and making them self-sustaining.
Sole key of concern on the on the development of social and economic infrastructure.
Issues related to the Urban poor and slum dwellers and specifically addressing the programmes
and polices targeting them.
It is expected that the CDP will serve the requirements of the UIDSSMT and IHSDP programmes as
well as JNNURM and other development schemes.
To assist the State government to undertake urban sector reforms, which will facilitate flow of
investments into town based infrastructure.
To strengthen the municipal governments their financial management and accounting processes,
thereby promoting transparency in their functioning etc.
Understanding of Terms of Reference Vis a Vis Methodology of the Study
The understanding of terms of reference under Town Development Plan refers to broad contours of the
assignment which includes existing infrastructure status including supply and demand gap assessment,
key issues and concerns of town development, major economic drivers & opportunities, town vision and
positioning of the town, identifying key projects to achieve the town vision and aspiration of town
citizens, preparing town investment plans and phasing of implementation. Implementation framework
Page 12

including capacity building and reforms to be undertaken to achieve the town development goals and
vision as envisaged.
The methodology will document and bring a stepwise process and sequential arrangement of tasks and
activities. These activities will have a set of process to follow and guidelines to adhere so that the broad
contours and goals of the study are achieved. In other words, methodology is a means & tools to
achieve the targeted goals/objectives under the proposed study. The understanding of Terms of
reference is crucial to derive and plan a proper methodology to achieve broad objectives and goals of
the study. Therefore the Terms of Reference (ToR) and methodology are complementary and mutually
inclusive in nature.
1.5
Approach and Methodology for Preparation of CDP
The CDP preparation is both a perspective and a vision for the future development of a town captured
through a consultative process. It presents the current stage of the towns development where we
stand now? It sets out the directions of change where do we want to go? It identifies the thrust areas - what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also suggests alternative routes, strategies, and
interventions for bringing about the change what interventions do we make in order to attain the
vision? It provides a framework and vision within which projects need to be identified and implemented.
It establishes a logical and consistent framework for the evaluation of investment decisions.
The CDP clearly defines how the Nagar Parishad Gurh will serve its citizens, for example how it intends
to guarantee a basic level of urban services to all citizens, make urban planning responsive to emerging
needs, and become responsive to the needs of and improve its services to local businesses.
The CDP also explains how Nagar Parishad Gurh will run its business, e.g. how it intends to manage
public finance in a modern and transparent way, execute urban planning and governance in line with an
established framework, become more responsive and cost and time efficient by integrating technology
in its governance and service delivery processes.
Finally, the CDP lays down Nagar Parishad Gurhs strategy to manage its resources, for example using
performance indicators-physical, financial and institutional i.e. it details out the Parishads intensions to
increase revenues and expand its tax base to allow for self-sustaining urban service delivery, improve its
creditworthiness and recruit and retain a skilled workforce. This will involve capacity building and
includes Training Needs Assessment (TNA), job holders analysis i.e. who has to do what? Business Plan
Preparation for monitoring implementation will include performance indicators development Physical,
Financial and Institutional.
The process of CDP preparation has been initiated with a Kick Off workshop which reveals the process,
purpose and outcomes including steps of CDP preparation, a public consultation, focused group
meetings with concerned stakeholders and one to one meetings with Nagar Parishad, departmental
heads, line departments of district administration, elected representatives viz. MP/MLA and business including trade bodies and professionals. This has formed basis of all stages of CDP from vision
statement, goals and issues identification, strategy for development, preparation of priority matrix for
project identification, sequential phasing of projects including town investment plan preparation and
long term perspective plan upto year 2035.
The diagnostic exercise, inception, town profile and sector analysis includes detailed assessment of the
existing situation of the town. The purpose of this analysis will be to make a realistic assessment of
where the town is, the direction in which it has been moving and its strengths and weaknesses. It covers
the towns demographic, economic, financial, infrastructural (service delivery), physical and
environment profile. It also considers the towns institutional framework, innovation in management if
any and e-governance initiatives underway and status of e-readiness of Nagar Parishad Gurh.

identification of issues as well as vision formulation. Specific objectives are:
To involve local residents in the CDP process
To enable stakeholders to express their views about

existing problems and proposals
To create a shared flow of information
To enable local ownership of the city development plan

2.1
INTRODUCTION TO GURH
Introduction to Rewa
Rewa district is situated in the north-eastern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh in India. It was a
princely state of Vindhya Pradesh. The city lies about 420 kilometres northeast of the state
capital Bhopal and 130 kilometres south of the city of Allahabad.
It lies between 240 18 and 250 12 north latitudes and 810 2 and 820 18. The district is bounded on the
north by Uttar Pradesh, on the east and southeast by Sidhi on the south by Shahdol and on the west by
Satna.
The district has a varied terrain that includes alluvial plains, hills, ravines, scarp, rivers, and water-falls.

Physical Characteristics
2.5.1 Topography & Geology

The town is located at an altitude of about 450mts. above mean sea level in Bagelkhand Region. The
terrain of the region is plain gently sloping towards north. The whole of the Rewa District is located on
the Vindhya Range of hills. The medium deep black soils are intensively cultivated and highly potential.
The soil is deep clay to loamy, calerous slightly alkaline and shows swell and shrink properties.
2.5.2 Climate
The climate of this zone can be divided into three distinct seasons, namely,
Monsoon lasting from mid June to September.
Winter from November to February.
Summer from March to June.
The area enjoys tropical type climatic conditions. The climate of the town is characterized by hot and dry
summers. Summer nights are mainly cool and pleasant. The maximum average temperature has been
recorded in the month of May & June at 42C, whereas minimum average recorded temperature is 6C.

monsoon falling from June to October accounts for average annual rainfall of about 1000 mm but most
of gets lost due to runoff. July and August are the months of maximum rainfall. April is the driest
months of the year, the winter rainfall is useful for the cultivation of Rabi crops but it is usually
inadequate without access to supplementary irrigation facilities.

Agriculture, Industry, Minerals & Flora Fauna
The chief means of subsistence of the people in this region is agriculture. It is indeed regarded as the
best occupation and a proverb runs. "Agriculture is the best (occupation), trade and commerce stands
next, while (domestic) service is the lowest and alms begging the last resource". Two seasons are
recognized the kharif lasting from May to Oct, in which jowar, kodon etc are cultivated and the Rabi
lasting from October to March in which Soyabean, wheat, grains and masoor are sown.
In the town, there is no major industrial development. At regional level, the region is rich of valuable
minerals, forests and wild animals. Bauxite, coal, lime, basalt, iron ore, etc are some of the minerals
available in abundance in this region. A rich store of fuel exists in the coal-seams of the Barakar group in
the Gondwana series. The colliery at Umaria has been successfully worked for many years, and the
Johilla coal field, contains coal of even better quality.
The prevalent trees in the forests of Rewa District are sagon, sal, tendu, shishum, bambaoo etc, The
brushwood consists mainly of the species Grewiazizyphus, Casearia, Antidesma, Woodfordia, Flueggia,
Phyllanthus, Bosewellia and Buchanania with occasional trees of mahua (Bassialatifolia). The Rewa

Population Projections
The population of town is growing but with a slower growth rate. The average decadal growth rate of
Gurh town for past 2 decades is 16.33%. The design populations for the next 25 years have been
forecasted for Gurh. The exercise has been done taking into account the population of past decades and
as per the guidelines detailed out in CPHEEO Manual. Looking to the factors governing the future growth
and development of the Gurhtown likewise location, educational, industrial, commercial (including
investment from outside), tourism, social and administrative aspects it is felt that the most suitable
method for population projection will be Geometrical Progression Method. However, other methods
suggested are also followed.
3.5
Methodology Adopted to Estimate Population
For populations projection Plan Period three methods i.e. Arithmetic Progression Method, Geometric
Progression Method and Incremental Progression Method were adopted.
3.5.1 Arithmetic Progression Method

Generally, the arithmetic progression method is applicable to large & old cities. This method usually
gives lower population & should be adopted when the future growth of the city is expected to be very
slow. In this method the decadal increase in population is calculated and the total increase in population
is worked out by dividing total increase in population in overall decades.

3.5.2 Geometrical Progression Method

Geometric means is calculated for finding the growth rate. This method is suitable to project population
for fast growing/developing town and city. It usually gives higher population figure.

In this method, the increment in arithmetical increase is determined from the past decades and the
average of that increment is added to the average increase. This method increases the figures by
obtained by arithmetical increase method.

Summary of Population Projection through Various Methods
From the population projection done for Gurh Town it is calculated that.
Page 34
Incremental Increase method and Arithmetic Progression Method have given very less
population and are not the suitable method for the town like Gurh which have very good
prospects of growth in near future
Geometric Progression Method gives higher population as compared Incremental Increase and
arithmetical progression method and is suitable and close to reality as the town with abundant
agricultural land is located very much closer to the class I urban town Rewa.
Thus the population has been taken as calculated by Geometric Progression Method.
3.7
Schedule Caste & Schedule Tribe Population
As per 2001 Census, out of the total population the Gurh Nagar Parishad had 18.85% (2,347) of Schedule
Caste (SC) Population which is more than the National Average and District Average. While 9.66% of
total population accounts for Schedule Tribe (ST) Population in the town.

significant 60.77%. The status of women in terms of literacy has been significantly low at town level,
while as compare to District Level the female literacy rate of Gurh is higher than the District Average.
But due to pace of time the literacy rate has increased from the previous decade, because of
introduction of schemes to promote the education system in MP, like, Improvement in Science
Education Scheme, Modernisation Scheme of Madarsa Education, Integrated Education for Disabled
Children, Computer Literacy and Study Scheme in Schools, District Primary Education Programme, Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan, Education Gaurantee Scheme etc.

Heritage and Tourism
At town level, Gurh has one tourist destination i.e. Kashtahar nath Temple. Baba Bhairo temple is
situated at a distance of 5 km from the town and the place has good potential for tourism as the area
has good scenic beauty. The idol is in lying position having a length of 24 ft. The existing water bodies
(i.e. river front development of Bhichhiya and Bihiya and ponds) can be developed as recreational area
for town. There is lack of sufficient and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services in town
that can hold the tourist. Tourist coming to Orchha or Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park,
Bandhavgarh National Park can be tapped. Thus, the town Gurh falls under KhajurahoPanna
Bandhavgarh-Chitrakoot-Allahabad tourist circuit.
Two day fair is organised at K. Kashtaharnath Temple on Vasant Panchmi and Shivratri. A fair is also
organised at the Dam on the way to Nagar Parishad while going there from Rewa.

Map: 4-2 Tourism in and Around Gurh Town

The overall economy of the town is highly localized and confined to only low economic activities of the
hinterland. Tourism is also not contributing too much to the economic development of the town, it is
concluded that tourism development and industrial development can contribute to development of
region as a whole.

5.5.3 Present and Future Housing Demand

As per Census of India 2011, the average household size in the town is 5.35 which are higher than the
national urban average of 5.12. Since the town is in transition phase of development (rural to urban), its
semi-urban in nature. The present and future housing demand for town has been estimated by taking
into account the ideal size of a household / dwelling unit (DU) that is 5.5. The average household size in
most of the wards is higher than the ideal household size.

Based on the above assumptions, at present there is a gap for housing of 176 houses. This indicates that
there is a demand for housing. The demand gap is highest in ward no. 10 followed by ward no. 3, 4, 7, 11
and 12.
5.6
Future Growth Possibilities
The future growth possibilities have been envisaged based on the existing growth pattern and the
population projection of 21308. The past trend of development shows growth in north and west
directions due to the presence of suitable land mainly along the transportation lines i.e. NH 75 in the
form of ribbon development. Since the town is semi-urban in nature, there is abundant of agricultural
land near by the existing development in all directions. The growth potential is also there towards the
east and north side of the town along the major transportation line, but the development is quite slow.
The slum or the squatter which contributes to 15.7% of total population are mainly concentrated in
ward nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 15 which are in outskirts and core areas.
Also several industrial / commercial activities have been proposed in the study area along the major
roads in north western side that are likely to give boost to urban growth in these areas. The future
growth possibilities and directions has been discussed with respect to five aspects that includes existing
urban growth, the transportation lines, availability abundant agricultural land in GNP, natural and the
proposed economic activities. Municipal body should ensure the future development of town in planned
manner as per these identified zones along with detailed layout master/development plans prepared by
TCP Dept., Rewa.

URBAN INFRASTRUCUTRE SERVICES

Introduction
The infrastructure of a town is one of the crucial considerations for towns economic development and
its investment climate. Infrastructure services and its adequacy require an assessment be made of its
coverage, quantity and quality, as also the demand supply gap. This chapter presents the existing status,
estimates the present and future gaps by the year 2035. It includes all the major sectors/aspects
including Water Supply; Sewerage and Sanitation; Solid Waste Management; Drainage; Urban
Transport; Community Facilities covered under both the Physical and the Social Infrastructure.
6.2
Physical Infrastrucutre
6.2.1 Water Supply

Sources of Water Supply
The water supply system in Gurh Nagar Parishad is
predominantly depending on surface and ground water.
The River Bichhiya and Renuka, passing through the
town and five tube wells scattered over various parts of
the town. The istalled capacity of the overhead tanks is
3.25 MLD and 1.25 in ward no 3 and 13 respectively.
There are around 23 open wells. And there are around
160 handpumps in the town.
The quality of water drawn from river is fairly good.
There is no detectable odour & taste and the color is
found to be turbid. The city encounters bit water
shortage during summers when Bichhiya and Renuka
River dries up.
Figure 6.1: Over Head Tank in ward 13
The current ground water level is at the depth of 70 to

80 feets.
Water Distribution System

The present water distribution system includes water
pipelines. There are 2 Over Head Tanks (OHT) in Gurh
with 3.25 lakh litre and 1.25 lakh litre capacity. Both are
in good working condition. 1 hour daily water is
supplied in the connected wards number 3 and 13.
Number of connections is 100. There is 6 public hand
pump provided by the parishad. There are three water
tankers in the Nagar Parishad. Ward no 15 is served by
water tanker during summer season.
To meet the present demand of water for town, water is
being supplied from dug well through pumps of
different capacity installed at nearby Bichhiya and
Renuka River. In addition, there are 5 Tube Wells is
distributed in various part of town through network
Figure 6.2: Municipal water supply
Page 61

pipeline connected with the major pipeline. The ward no. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have working
water supply network. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and 15 dont have any water supply network.
Thus, the town get majority of water supply directly from these tube wells located in various part of
town without any treatment. The per capita supply is estimated under the existing supply system which
is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd.
Other Sources
In addition to the main sources, a significant volume of ground water is also extracted through hand
pumps and wells installed at various locations.
Water Distribution Arrangements

The present water distribution system includes water pipelines system which is not sufficient. The water
distribution arrangement includes - two OHTs and hand pumps. The town get majority of water supply
through the network pipelines laid down in different part of the town. These network lines are linked
with main pipelines coming from the nine tube wells (located in various parts of the town). Water during
summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also supplied through Water
Tankers. Presently there are 2 Water Tankers with a capacity of 4500 liters with Nagar Parishad.

Internal Distribution Network

As far as the internal distribution network for water supply is concerned, the water pipelines have been
laid down mainly along the major roads side. Hand pumps and own wells & tube wells are the major
sources of water in these wards.
As per census 2001, out of total 2112 household, 61% of household have handpumps for water supply
followed by 34% through well and 4% from tubewell provided by Nagar Parishad.

Comparative Analysis with UDPFI, CPHEEO Guidelines

Presently under the existing water supply system, the per capita supply of 21.20 liters per day is
estimated for town which is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd
(UDPFI Guidelines). These figures however, represent only the production from all sources. Actual
quantity reaching the consumers is even lower as 21.20 lpcd due to high Unaccounted Water Flow
(UWF) of 15,000 liters per day. Thus, the water supply system in the town requires augmentation
schemes on urgent basis.

SWOT Analysis
Based on the existing situational analysis and extensive participatory consultation with primary and
secondary stakeholders, Citys strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats have been assessed.
Table below presents the SWOT analysis at city level.
STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
Presence of enough natural sources of water like ponds

in wards 13 and 15 and two rivers Bichhiya and Renuka
covering almost all the wards from SW to NE direction
2 OHT (Capacity 3.5, 1.25 LL), 2 water tanks of capacity
4500 L, 9 tube wells, 360 handpumps and two rivers
shows the enough capability of the town in terms of
the water supply.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Water revenue demand can be enhanced through drive

of new house connection eespecially in wards 1, 7, 9,
14 and 15.
Water from the river can be treated and supplied to
conserve underground water.
Rain water harvesting can be introduced and can be
collected in the NW direction of the town in wards 1
and 7.
Water supply line without tap, resident filling
Around 20% of the water is lost during

distribution leakages in the tanks.
Connection is not there in all the wards
especially in ward no. 15, during summer
Nagar Parishad arranges water tankers to
supply there.
Direct injection of storm water and open

drainage carrying sewerage water
eespecially from wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10 and 11 into the rivers causing for the
contamination of the water as it is the
major source of drinking water.

Issues
Water distribution system is old and has limited coverage. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and 15 dont
have any water supply network.
Water during summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also
supplied through Water Tankers eespecially in wards 1, 14 and 15.
Contamination of water in the rivers Renuka and Bichhiya which are the major sources of water
due to the direct injection of drainage and storm water into the rivers.
All the existing are not utilised to its full potential due to leakage.
There is lack of technical/ skilled man power to handle the system.
The distribution system has limited coverage. Pipelines are mainly laid along the major roads, is
a major constraint in distributing water to the end user in internal areas.
There is a large scale of demand and supply gap, which is likely to be increase drastically in
future with respect to increase in population if no measures were taken to augment the water
supply system.
Per capita supply is low (21.20 lpcd) against the standard norm of 135 lpcd.
Ground water is main source of water supply which strains the ground water table.
The tariff collection efficiency of water charges is low.

Goals and Service Outcomes
Considering the above issues and challenges, the following goals for different horizon years have been
identified in the following table. The water supply coverage and access to piped water supply in Gurh
Nagar Parishad needs to be enhanced to 100% by the year 2035. The per capita water supply should be
maintained as per the norm of 135 lpcd at an acceptable level by increasing hours of supply to 4-6 hours
a day by 2015, 8-10 hours daily by 2025 and subsequently achieve 24 hours water supply/day by 2035
promoting together the water storage facility at household level. There is an urgent need to lower the
non-revenue to 25% by the year 2015, 15% by 2025 and 10% by 2035 by implementing 100% consumer
metering system by 2015 and achieve 100% O & M cost recovery by the year 2035.

Regarding the water supply, future demand for drinking water to town can be meet through
Amra Dam by linking Renuka River and development of check dams on Renuka River passing
through the town.
Gurh can also be linked to Ban Sagar Project through the Kwety Canal to meet the future
demand of drinking water.
Leakage detection studies; repair, replacement or rehabilitation of old/defunct system including
3 OHTs should be under taken to enhance the present water distribution system.
Extension of water pipeline to un-served/ internal areas, thereby ensuring 100% water supply
network coverage.
Implementation of 100% consumer metering system via monitoring and checkout illegal water
connections.
Awareness programme for judicious use of water, recycling and recharging to prevalent water
loss, thereby, encouraging Rain water harvesting at household level.
Tariff planning to make water supply as self sustaining project.
Use of recycled water for meeting agricultural and cooling demands.
Widespread investments in the water supply sector without sufficient attention to human
resource development results in poor sustainability of system. Recognizing the urgent need for
capacity building at different levels in water supply sector, GNP should propose to develop
human resources in their organization.

Macau Water Supply Consession, China
Macau Water Supply Concession (MWSC)

Background:
Macau, China has a total area of just under 21 square kilometers, which includes the Macau peninsular
and the islands of Taipa and Coloane. It is situated on the western edge of the delta formed by the Pearl
River Delta (Zhu Jiang) and the West River (Xi Jiang).
By the early 1980s, Macau, Chinas water supply had deteriorated to the extent that:
Unaccounted-for-water was at high levels and the water utility was operating at a loss.
Water quality was extremely poor with high salinity and turbidity. This was due to the poor quality of the
raw water drawn from the eastern tributary of the Pearl River, a treatment plant working at overload
capacity and a lack of scientific management and technology.
In 1982, Water supply in Macau, China has had Private Sector Participation. A private company took
over the operations of the Macau Water Supply Company, commonly known as Sociedad de
Abastecimento de Aguas de Macau (SAAM), in 1982. It initiated to work as replacing meters to increase
income. The company also put in place to improve utilitys management and financial systems. The basic
idea behind the replacement of water meters was to reduce the unaccounted-for-water from 40.3
percent in 1982 to 24.5 percent in 1984.
Key Activities Undertaken:
In addition to securing a new source of raw water, the concessionaire has undertaken an on-going
program of investments. These include:
Upgrading and extending water treatment plants.
Replacement of major pipelines.
Reservoir construction and post-chlorination stations.
Leakage detection activities and related investments.
Introduction of a computerized Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
Introduction of an automated water production control system.
On-going upgrading or replacement of meters.
Out Comes:
Within three years of signing the concession contract, Macau, Chinas water quality was brought up to
the European Union standard.
Macau, China citizens now receive consistently good quality potable water at a pressure and output that
meets all customers needs 24 hours. Designed water treatment capacity now exceeds maximum daily
demand by over 20 percent.
Unaccounted-for-water from leakages has also declined. The program of meter installation and repair
instigated by New World prior to the concession led to a dramatic reduction in unaccounted-for-water
from 40.3 percent in 1982 to 20.2 percent when the concession commenced in 1985.
Page 69
Lesson Learned:
Public private partnership now playing a key role in the success of many infrastructural projects.
There is a positive two-way interaction or relationship between water supply improvements and
economic growth. A good quality water supply encourages, or at least facilitates growth in economic
activity.
The existence of a new high quality and abundant source of raw water helped contribute to Macau,
Chinas water supply achievements.
Public Private Partnership in water supply in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu
Public Private Partnership in water supply in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu (India)

The Context:
State Government has implemented the project on a commercial format on Public Private Partnership
basis along with IL&FS. AnMoU was signed between GoTN, IL&FS and Tirupur Exporters Association
(TEA) in August 1994, for formulation and development of the project and its implementation.
The project was the first integrated water supply proposed to be undertaken in India in the water sector
on PPP basis.
The scope of the project (the Project) covers the water and wastewater treatment components. The
project also includes provision of low cost sanitation facilities at 100 slums in Tirupur
Shortage of water supply and inadequate infrastructure for collection, treatment and disposal of
industrial / domestic wastewater were the major bottlenecks for the growth of the industries.
Achievements:
Formation of the NTADCL (New Tirupur Area Development Corporation Ltd.) upfront in the process
served as the platform for information exchange, resolution of conflicts and facilitated decision-making
in a transparent manner.
Innovative Insurance Application for Risk Mitigation
Improved Water Supply to Industries and Households
It is estimated that the project would also create employment for about 2 lakh people
Lesson Learned:
PPP has now playing a major role in infrastructural development projects.
A successful implementation of project needs an Innovative Financial Structuring & Insurance
Application for Risk Mitigation.
Low Cost Water Treatment Option

Water to be supplied for public use must be potable i.e., satisfactory for drinking purposes from the
standpoint of its chemical, physical and biological characteristics. Drinking water should, preferably, be
obtained from a source free from pollution. The raw water normally available from surface water
sources is, however, not directly suitable for drinking purposes. The objective of water treatment is to

produce safe and potable drinking water. Some of the common treatment processes used in the past
includes Plain sedimentation, Slow Sand filtration, and Rapid Sand filtration with Coagulationflocculation units as essential pretreatment units.
Rapid Sand Filtration

The rapid sand filter or rapid gravity filter is a type of filter used in water purification and is commonly
used in municipal drinking water facilities as part of a multiple-stage treatment system. Rapid sand
filters were widely used in small and large municipal water systems, because they required smaller land
areas compared to slow sand filters.
It comprises two chambers with the layers of sand and pebbles, these layers are responsible to
prevent physical impurities within it and soaked water through channels goes to one other
chamber.
In this chamber addition of alum and other chemicals like chlorine which cleans up the chemical
impurities.
After going through the filtration process it collects in the storage such as over head tank or
tanker through water channels.
Figure 6.3: A typical rapid sand filter water treatment with its components. The filter is contained
within a filter box, usually made of concrete. Inside the filter box are layers of filter media and gravel.

6.2.2 Sewerage and Sanitation

Existing Sewerage System
Sewerage and sanitation has become a yardstick of socio-cultural development of the nation. Improved
sanitation results in improvement of health, reduced child mortality/ morbidity, improved water quality,
environment and economic growth of any city/town. Presently the town do not have underground
sewerage system to serve the about a population of 14590 residing in 15 wards. The sewage from
households and other commercial establishments flows along with storm water in common open
Page 72

drains, which is mainly governed by the topography and direction of slope in town. Taking 80% of the
present water supply as sewage, the current sewerage generation for town is approximately 1.57 MLD.
Means of Sewage Disposal

Sewerage and sanitation condition in the town is poor. The sewage disposal system in the town is mainly
consisting of individual disposal system that includes water closet, soak pits or pit type latrines, open
drains. Some residents also go for open defecation as they do not have any proper in-house sewage
disposal facility. Resident in old areas uses dry-latrines. New developments have individual septic tanks
for sewage disposal. The pour flush latrines and toilets blocks are usually connected to a septic tank and
then connected to drains or nala.
Therefore, the current practice indicates that the sewage flows through open channel, nala in town and
disposes into the River Bichhiya and Renuka. This is a cause of concern as there is a possibility of
underground or well water and river water contamination.
Household Toilets (Dry Latrines and Flush Latrines)

Sanitation condition in the town is poor. Only 14.38 % of the households have proper toiles and the rest
85.62 have no good toilet facility. But only 23.21% households have water closet latrines connected to
septic tank, 31.12% pit toilet and 45.66% has other toilet facility. Majority of households do not have
toilet facility within premises.

Public Toilets
The Gurh Nagar Parishad is responsible for the provision of public toilets in town. But in Gurh there is
very less effort from the civic body in providing public toilets and public urinals. There are thre three
public toilets in the town with five seats in one and two with four seats. 60 toilets have direct outlets in
the drainage system and rest have septic tanks and soak pits. Ward nos. 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14 and 15 have
neither public nor private toilets.

On the basis of projected population for 2035 and taking as 80% water supply comes out as sewage for
the same, the present and future demand and supply gaps for various components of Sewerage and
Sanitation Sector has been worked out for Gurh town in the table given below.

As there is complete absence of underground Sewerage Network, the sewage flows through open drains

Comparative Analysis with the UDPFI, CPHEEO Guidelines

As per CPHEEO manual and UDPFI guidelines wastewater generation is assumed as 80% of the water
supply rate i.e. 108 lpcd has been adopted.
UDPFI guidelines suggest small and medium towns may encourage to for adopting low cost sanitation
technologies with technical assistance from urban local bodies and involvement of NGOs in actual
implementation of such programmes. Low cost sanitation projects can be encouraged in Gurh as there is
no underground sewerage network and majority of households do not have in-house toilet facility. In
that context city investment plan has made provision for sewerage network and low cost sanitation.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Town has natural slopes towards north, so all the
drainage and sewerage lines can be direct in this
direction where it can be treated before inject
into the river Bichhiya and Renuka in wards 1, 7
and 14.
WEAKNESS
There is no underground sewerage system
throughout the town.
45.66% have neither public toilet nor privet toilet
facilities in wards 1, 4, 5, 9, 13, 14 and 15.
Absence of treatment plants.
The income prohibits urban poor to make capital
expenditure on development of toilet units and
their maintenance especially in wards with urban
poor in 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
There is scope for development of low cost

sanitation projects can be done in wards 7, 1, 2
and 14 due to slopes towards northern side.
The sewerage system in town needs to develop
with 60% sewer network coverage to households
by the year 2015 and 100% by 2025.
Sewage flows through open drains, channels &

nallas in populated area of the town (wards 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and disposes into the water
bodies (Bichhiya and Renuka rivers) which causes
for unhygienic and anaesthetic living condition in
the town.
Issues
Major portion of the total settlements that is 45.66% have neither public toilet nor privet toilet
facilities in wards 1, 4, 5, 9, 13, 14 and 15.
80% of the total water supply comes as sewage from the wards 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
But there is no treatment plant.
There is absence of hygienic and safe method of sewerage disposal system.
The pour flush latrines and toilets blocks are usually connected to a septic tank and then
connected to drains, channels or nalas ultimately falling into the Bichhiya and Renuka River
causing contamination to the main sources of water supply.
Ground water contamination is a potential threat which will also affect the drinking water
quality as the underground water as on date is a major source of water supply system.
Unmaintained public urinals.
Town lacks public conveniences/ sanitation facilities such as - community or public toilet.
The service level cost recovery is going to be the major challenge for GNP as most of the
household are not will to pay for development and maintenance of facilities.
Wide spread practice of open defecation as about 74% of household does not have in-house
toilet facilities.

identified in the following table. The sewerage system in town needs to develop with 60% sewer
network coverage to households by the year 2015 and 100% by 2025. By the year 2015 80% waste water
should be treated followed by 100% by 2025. In addition to that, 60-70% O & M cost recovery will be
achieved by the year 2015 followed by 80-90% by 2025 and 100% by the year 2035.

Considering the current issues, challenges and identified goals, a robust strategy for sewerage is
adopted to achieve 100% sewerage system. The following are the brief outline of the projects which
have to be taken up:
1. Low Cost Sanitation Projects:
Exploring the USAB Technology which requires less land and O&M Costs which are
minimal.
Government intervention should be emphasized in providing toilet facilities in urban poor
areas by developing community toilet blocks.
Sulabh Comples or public toilets near market places, bus stands area.
Community participation should be encouraged for designing, construction and
maintenance of public toilets.
Cost recovery through collection of well defined user charges.
2. Intercept all drains to flow in Bichhiya and Renuka River; including the river front
development & plantation on flood zone. (both sides of the Nala)
3. Comprehensive Sewerage Master Plan:
To meet the current gap and future requirements for Gurh town, it is proposed to carry
out detailed studies and prepare a comprehensive Sewerage Master Plan including
network lines and STP.
4. Sewerage Quality Studies and Monitoring:
The sewerage quality analysis needs to be undertaken. It is proposed to purchase latest
equipments to establish laboratories for analysis of chemical and heavy metals.
Page 77

5. Human Resource Development:
Widespread investment in the sewerage sector without sufficient attention to human
resource development results in poor sustainability of system. Recognizing the urgent
need for capacity building at different levels in sewerage sector, it is proposed to develop
human resource in their organization.

Presently there is no sewage disposal system in the city. The in-house sanitation is about 30% for the
city and is limited to many users. Therefore the future efforts should be made to have 100 percent
coverage on the sewerage sector to minimize the sanitation problem of the city. In this regards, the
following projects are identified:

Best Practices
Box:: Slum Sanitation in Pune
Background:
Pune city, the educational and cultural capital of the State of
Maharashtra has a population of 28 lakhs, of whom about 40%
live in slums. There are 503 slum pockets, out of which only 348
are notified slums in the city. Pune Municipal Corporations have
Conservancy Departments whose duty it is to clean and
maintain toilet blocks in the city. Similar to other city, the
municipal staffs are not performing their duties including
construction and maintenance of toilets and city sanitation. Since
the local community does not have any control over the
sanitation staff, the latter do not respond to their concerns.
Since 1992, only 22 pay and use toilet blocks had been built in the city. In 1992, Municipal
Commissioner himself took initiatives and a massive programme of building toilets in slums through
community participation by giving contracts to non-governmental organizations (NGOs). There were 8
NGOs which were selected to carry out the first phase of the programme. First priority was given to
those settlements with a minimum population of 500 but had no toilet facilities
Key Components of the Project:
Construction: The Slum Sanitation Program was implemented in phased manner which are as follows;
Phase-1 (1999-2000): In the first phase, it was decided to construct 220 toilet blocks with about 3500
toilet seats through NGOs. The expenditure incurred on the first phase was Rs.22.5 crores.
Phase-11 (2000 -2001): On completion of the second phase (planned for another 220 blocks between),
more than 400 blocks or more than 10,000 toilet seats was supposed to be constructed at a cost of
more than Rs.40 crores and benefiting more than 5 lakh slum dwellers.
Maintenance: In the bid itself, a guarantee was also to be given that the NGOs and the community
would maintain the toilet block for 30 years by collecting contributions from the community. The
programme envisaged the collection of Rs.20 per family per month to fund the appointment of a
caretaker and for cleaning materials. The caretaker is to be accountable to the community and is
supervised by them.
Implementation: During construction, the Municipal Commissioner was himself holding a weekly
meeting to monitor the progress of the work with the highest priority and, as a result, people worked
day and night to complete the programme in a few months.
Lesson Learned: Slum dwellers are not expected to pay anything at all when they use the toilets, they
are expected to pay a general tax for the facilities they are given. However, even if public sanitation is
free, it is not of much use because it is hardly functional.
The relationship between the Corporation, NGOs and communities has been reconfigured. NGOs and
communities are not cast in the roles of clients or supplicants but rather are treated as partners by the
Corporation.
When grassroots democracy is in place, the accountability of institutions is ensured.

Low Cost Waste Water Treatment
DEWATS | Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
Figure 6.4 Main DEWATS modules for physical and biological wastewater treatment:
DEWATS stands for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems. DEWATS represents a technical
approach rather than merely a technology package.
DEWATS applications are designed to be low-maintenance: most important parts of the system work
without technical energy inputs and cannot be switched off intentionally.
DEWATS applications provide state-of-the-art technology at affordable prices because all of the
materials used for construction are locally available.
o
o
DEWATS applications are designed to be low-maintenance.

DEWATS affordable prices because all of the materials used for construction are locally
available.
o DEWATS applications provide treatment for both domestic and industrial sources
o Systems can be designed to handle organic wastewater flows from 1-1000 m3 per day
o DEWATS applications do not require sophisticated maintenance
o DEWATS applications are designed with four basic technical treatment modules
o Primary treatment: sedimentation and floatation
o Secondary anaerobic treatment in fixed-bed reactors: baffled upstream reactors or anaerobic
filters
o Tertiary aerobic treatment in sub-surface flow filters
o Tertiary aerobic treatment in polishing ponds
DEWATS applications are designed and dimensioned in such a way that treated water meets
requirements stipulated in environmental laws and regulations.
Advantages of DEWATS technology:
Page 80
Provides treatment for domestic and industrial wastewater

Low initial investment costs as no imported materials or components are needed
Efficient treatment for daily wastewater flows of up to 1000m3
Modular design of all components

Low Cost Sanitation Option
Page 81

These excreta-disposal systems offer different degrees of user convenience, protection against the
spread of diseases and water demand for their operation. They can be classified in several ways. A basic
classification is based on whether the waste is disposed of within the site or is transported somewhere
else. Under this classification, the technology is either on-site or off-site systems. On-site sanitation
systems include those in which safe disposal of excreta takes place on or near the plot or site of the
toilet.
Another way of classifying sanitation systems is through their application as either individual household
sanitation technologies or community sanitation technologies.
Sanitation is more or less a matter of personal habit and prestige. People will maintain properly if the
toilet is their personal property. In small towns the municipal body has neither a number of sanitary
staffs nor a good financial condition to appoint such staffs. We have planned for individual single/twin
pit flush toilets with septic tank as an option which can be modified to suit the economy of the users.
Pour flush latrines

In small town where people use water for toilet, pour flush latrines can be constructed. The squatting
slab can then be sited a metre or two away from the pit, to which it drains via a communication pipe.
The squatting plate and pit cover are easier to construct and are just as satisfactory.
To prevent smells rising from the pit a U-bend water seal can be incorporated but such seals are worse
than useless if they are not properly flushed; a close-fitting squat-hole cover can do the job just as well.
Raised footpads should be cast into the slab on each side of the squat hole and the surface of the slab
should slope towards it. Depending on the economy and requirement the single or twin pit latrine can
be adopted.
Figure 6.6: Pour flush single pit and twin pit toilet
Page 82

Septic Tanks
Septic tanks are comprised of a sealed tank having both an inlet and an outlet into which excreta are
flushed from a conventional cistern flush toilet or a pour-flush toilet. The tank acts as a settlement unit
in which solids settle out by gravity. The solids undergo a process of anaerobic decomposition which
results in the production of water, gases, sludge and a layer of floating scum.
The use of this system has the requirement for an in-house connection of water supply for the system to
operate.
Figure 6.7: Scematic diagram of septic tank

Properly designed and installed septic tanks can function for many years. Annual inspection to
determine sludge depth is desirable to prevent tank solids from overflowing and sealing the soil in the
drainfield. Minimize the amount of grease from the kitchen and garbage disposal solids going into septic
tank. Water conservation reduces the loading and saturation of the drainfield. To protect groundwater,
many areas increase lot size requirements to reduce septic tank densities. Septic tank permits may be
subject to additional restrictions in groundwater recharge areas.
Drainage System
Existing Drainage System
Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area. At present
the town does not have a comprehensive and effective drainage system. Slope in the ward no. 2, 3, 4, 11
and 14 are towards east direction. Slope in the ward no. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 15 are towards west
Page 83

direction. The drainage condition survey in the town indicates that the drainage network in Gurh is open
and unorganized. 60% of the existing drains are made of stone masonary and 40% is RCC. And around
60% of the existing drains are in bad shape and need immediate planning and management
intervention. There is around 7.8km of drains in the town. Most of the drains do not have capacity to
flow the waste water as they are damaged and remain chocked due to presence of gray matter and
disposal of solid waste in it. This leads to un-channelized flow during the rainy season.
In ward 3 and 12, the waste water from adjoining

area spilled over the road and creates unhygienic
conditions during rainy season. The situation is
further aggravated in town due to lack of sewerage
system resulting in sewage flow in the storm water
drains which finally get discharged into the River
Bichhiya and Renuka and in agricultural lands.

At present GNP is responsible for operation and maintenance of drainage system in the town. Major
portions of these drains require de-silting and repairs.

Major Water Bodies

River Bichhiya and Renuka is only the major water body in the town. Passing through the town, river
flows from west to east direction and divide the town in two parts. Apart from the river, there are two
ponds in the southern part of the town.
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Drains

The primary drains are majorly kutcha drains collecting the waste water from houses throughout the
town through secondary and tertiary drains and disposing into major water body i.e. River Bichhiya and
Renuka.
Flood-Prone Areas
As the River Bichhiya and Renuka passes through the town, all the low lying areas in ward nos. 5, 7 and
13 are flood prone areas of town. In 1997, these wards were badly affected by flood.
Flooding in Catchment Area of Major Nallahs

In the catchment areas of these nallahs, due to lack of sewerage system most of the sewage flow in the
storm water drains. This, together with damaged and chocked drains due to the presence of gray mater,
solid waste disposal leads to un-channelized flow during the rainy season. Thus, the whole town faces
problem of flooding and spillover of waste water during the monsoon season causes various diseases.

Ward No.
In all the wards as they do not have sufficient drainage
network and mainly in ward no. 10 where no drains is
there of any form.
Channelization of nallahs and primary & secondary drains are required.

A fresh drainage system is required in parishad.
Construction of new drains and converting the open ones to closed type.

There are no particular quantitative features in the standards laid out in UDPFI guidelines. But generally,
the storm water drainage should be laid along the road to carry the surface run off and maximum pucca
nallahs should be there for the drainage purpose.
SWOT Analysis

and 14 due to presence of slope.
the major sources of water supply in the town.
Rainwater harvesting in wards 1, 7, 14 and 15 for
agricultural lands in the town.
Issues
Inadequate drainage system with poor maintenance causes for water logging and unhygienic
scenario in the town.
In ward 3 and 12, the waste water from adjoining area spilled over the road and creates
unhygienic conditions during rainy season.
Page 86
Disposal of solid waste in drains has reduced the flow capacity of drains eespecially in populated
areas of wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Lack of a comprehensive and effective drainage system and facility of treatment plant.
Secondary and tertiary drains are linked with primary drains i.e. nallahs causes mixing of waste
water including sewage directly with the river water. This further aggravated the problem of
pollution to a potential source of water supply to town.
Damaged and chocked drains lead to problem flooding and overspilling in internal areas and in
low lying areas of towns.

To enhance the coverage of storm water drains, following goals have been indentified for different
horizon years.

In order to address the above discussed issues and achieve the above outcomes in each of the
components of drainage system, strategies for improvement are elaborated below:
1. Preparation of Master Plan/ Detailed Project Report:
The drains are inadequate to carry the waste water as they are not systematically designed and
are damaged in some sections. A significant reduction in depth and width are noticed due to
encroachment. To overcome the situation with 100% Storm Water Drainage Network in town it
is proposed that GNP should prepare a Master Plan/ Detailed Project Report (DPR) for development of
100% Storm Water Drainage Network as per the standards by
o Laying new pacca drainage network in all wards where no drainage is available all
along the roads.
o Providing drainage system in flood prone areas.
o Widening & deepening of existing drains of town..
This will also ensure the Institutional strengthening, human resources development
leading to overall capacity building including assets required for the operation and
maintenance of drains.
2. Drains Rehabilitation and Improvement Programme: The programme would aim at the
following so that to channelize the flow and minimize the localized flooding and overspilling:
Page 87
Regular Cleaning of Drains removal of garbage and gray matter to ensure natural flow
of drains.
De-silting, lining and repair of drains.
Removal of encroachment along drains.
Educating people for minimization of sewage and domestic waste discharge into drains.
Construction of side walls to confirm to uniform cross-section in built up areas.
3. Rehabilitation of Primary Nallah/ Drains and Water Bodies:
Trapping of nallahs
Converting the Kutcha Nallahs to pucca one by De-silting, lining and constructing side
walls.
Regular Cleaning of Drains removal of garbage and gray matter to ensure natural flow
of nallahs.
Protection of environmental resources such as - open spaces, water bodies i.e. River
Bichhiya and Renuka should be carried out in co-ordinated way.

Presently the coverage of the storm water drainage is poor in the city. So the following projects are
identified to minimize the adverse effect of the bad drainage system in the city.

6.2.3 Solid Waste Management

Solid Waste Generation
The solid waste management in the town is done by the Nagar Parishad. They have one tractor and two
trollies for the collection and transportation of the solid waste. The Nagar parishad has a dumping
ground of two acre area. The average total generation of the solid waste is around one ton. The average
solid waste generation in the town is low i.e., 204.13 grams per capita per day, which is relatively less
than the standards considered in CPHEEO Manual for small towns of 250 gm per capita per day. This is
because of town basic character which is in transitional phase of rural to semi-urban. Seven containers
and dustbins provided in the town.

Constituent of Municipal Waste

There is no information available on constitution of municipal solid waste as such from GNP. But after
the discussion with official of GNP and their perception, waste generated in town includes - vegetable
and fruit market waste, paper, polythene, packing materials, glass, metal iron crap; aluminum crap,
domestic animal excreta, ash from Chula indicating that the most of the quantity of waste generated is
organic in nature comes from residential and commercial uses.
Current Practice of Solid Waste Management

Primary and Secondary Collection
Presently there is no Door-to-Door solid waste collection system from the individual households and
other establishments as primary collection. The solid waste generated from residential, commercial,
institutional areas are thrown in bins or in open spaces along the road sides together with daily waste
generated from street sweeping and weekly from drainage cleaning (Wastes which is thrown on the
roads and in drains is collected in heaps along road sides). These wastes finally get collected by 6 no.
sanitary workers through four trollies. The collection efficiency of these wastes is very low. Municipal
wastes from core areas of town including bus stand, commercial & mandi and from wards no. 4 to 13
gets collected on daily basis and once in a week grom ward no. 1, 2 and 3, while in periphery areas like
ward no 14 and 15, waste is collected once/twice in a month depending on situation. There is no area
or site designated for disposal of municipal wastes. Wastes collected from the all the sources whether it
is domestic, commercial or institutional are dumped at various illegal dumping sites in low-lying areas
along the river side near the old bridge and in outskirts of town.
Waste Storage and Segregation

Page 89

Presently municipal waste is being collected from all wards, but none of these wards have Door-to-Door
collection and waste generation practices. Segregation of waste, both at sources level (primary
collection) and at secondary level is not in practice. For the storage of waste dustbins are provided at
some places. Wastes generated from all the sources are disposed mainly in open spaces along the road
side with wastes from street sweeping and drainage cleaning throughout the town except in some
areas.
Primary collection system is necessary to ensure that waste stored and segregated at source is
collected regularly and it is not disposed on the streets, drains, water bodies etc. However, step has to
synchronize well with the first step i.e. storage of waste at source.
Processing and Disposal

There is no prevailing mechanism in the town for processing or disposal of waste. As the wastes are not
segregated, there is no processing of the collected wastes. There is no provision of incineration facilities
for hospital wastes. There is no area or site is designated for scientific disposal of Municipal Solid
Wastes. All types of wastes whether it is hospital waste or household waste are disposed or dumped all
together at various illegal dumping sites in low-lying areas along the river side near the old bridge and in
outskirts of town.
Resuse and Recycling

Basically the metals and plastics are collected by the slum dweller, which provides as source of income
for them. It is further marketed by scrap dealers. Waste materials like metals and plastics are
transported to nearby cities like Satna, Rewa, Jabalpur for further recycle and use.
Vehicles for Solid Waste Collection and Transportation

For proper solid waste management, suitable equipment in sufficient number is necessary for handling,
lifting, and transportations. Loading and unloading of municipal solid waste is done manually and waste
is transported through thela or tricycle pulled by sanitary worker. GNP also has one tractor with a trolley
but is not in working condition. However, the GNP is not properly equipped with solid waste handling
and transportation equipments. The equipment available with GNP for S.W.M. in town is listed below:
Table 6.2.16: List of Vehicles and Equipments available with GNP for Solid Waste Collection &
Transportation
S. No.
Vehicle and Equipment
Numbers
Tractor
Trolley
Dust Bins
Estimation of Waste Collection

Since the GNP is not properly equipped with latest solid waste handling and transporting equipments,
the waste is collected and transported manually through hand pull cart and tricycles. Therefore, the
waste collection efficiency is very low. As per the consecutive discussions with officials of GNP and based
on the strength of sanitary workers and equipment available to them, it is been estimated that out of
total waste generated (29.18 Qt) only 34% (10 Qt) of waste is been collected on daily basis in Gurh town.
Page 90

On the basis of waste generated by per capita per day, the projected waste generated by 2035 has been
worked out at 2.3 MT/Day. As stated earlier, at present the total waste generation in town is about 0.1
MT/Day. As such, the waste treatment facility must be put in place to handle the large volume of waste
disposal.

*Present Situation of town

As per the data provided by the GNP, the total waste generation in the town is about 0.1 MT/Day. This is
because of town basic character which is in transitional phase of rural to semi-urban. The following table

Inadequacy of man power and modest equipments (including vehicle for transportation) with
GNP for Solid Waste Management from collection to its final disposal.
At present town does not have any designated sanitary land fill site as per the normative
standard.
4. Dumping on ward no 13 near to the commercial and residential area (8.9.10) along the NH-75
creates an unhygienic and anaesthetic condition in the town.
5. Lack of capital/funds with GNP for the development of SWM facilities.
6. Door to door solid waste collection is not practicing.
7. There is no landfill site in and around the town. The nagar Parishad was decide to make a landfill
site near the hill area. Till yet the work is not started.
8. Waste collected by sanitary worker is been disposed of in low lying areas of town including river
sides near old bridge further leading to contamination or pollution of river water which is one of
the major source of water supply for the town.

In order to achieve the above outcomes, and to address the above discussed issues in each of the solid
waste management components, strategies for improvement are elaborated below:
1. Segregation of Waste at Sources:
Highest priority has to be accorded for storage, segregation and of waste at sources
irrespective of the area of generation so as to facilitate an organized and environmentally
acceptable waste management measures.
A number of campaigns/ community awareness programmes should be organized for
introducing segregation of wastes at sources.
Segregation of hazardous wastes like bio-medical waste, bio degradable waste etc.
2. Primary Collection of Wastes: The following measures have been recommended for improving
the primary collection practices of Gurh.
Formation of wad committees for primary collection and management of the solid waste
and cleaniliness in the town.
Phased implementation of Door-to-Door collection system through community
organizations on PPP basis by mobilizing, facilitating, organizing and supporting community
activities with the help of local NGOs.
Encourage performance based incentives to enhance efficiency and output.
Installation of Community Storage Bins in all areas where house-house collection cannot be
implemented.
Voluntary Garbage Disposal Scheme should be introduced for number of restaurants/
hotels and commercial establishments.
Placement of containers or bins sufficient in size and no. at markets for ensuring that all the
vendors place the waste in containers.
Page 93
Bio-medical wastes and other hazardous wastes to be segregated and collected from
municipal solid wastes for separate incineration as per the guidelines of Ministry of
Environment and Forest 1998 and 1989 respectively.
Cost recovery through collection of well defined user charges.
Manual waste handling operation should be minimized. Primary collection system should be
initiated by introducing Multi-bin-carts, semi mechanized systems like refuse collectors.
Separate collection vehicles should collect the non-bio-degradable waste stored in separate
bins. Thus, Primary collection should cover all areas of the town with even innovative but safe
transporting arrangements as per the MSW handling rules 2000.
3. Secondary Waste Collection and Transportation: At present, the GNP has inadequate no. of
sanitary workers and equipments for loading, unloading and transportation vehicles (including
bins) for secondary collection and transportation of wastes. Therefore, it is recommended that GNP should involving private sector participation in secondary collection, transportation
and treatment of MSW facilities.
GNP should purchase sufficient no. of modest equipments including vehicles - such as
loader, unloader, hydraulic closed truck/waste carrier for transportation and disposal of
waste.
Construction or demolition wastes / debris to be separately collected and disposed off in
separate landfill site for future use.
GNP should prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Municipal Solid Waste
Management for town, ensuring the quantity and quality of required modest equipments,
techniques and vehicles for collecting, processing and transporting MSW. This will also
ensure the Institutional strengthening, human resources development leading to overall
capacity building.
4. Processing and Disposal: The characteristics and quality of solid waste generated in the city
primarily influence the disposal options. Considering these aspects, it is recommended to
develop a landfill site for safe disposal of solid waste. The disposal strategy for Gurh town for
short term at town level will be Compost the organic fraction of the waste.
Encourage aerobic vermin composting at local level.
Sanitary land filling of inorganic fraction of waste and the compost rejects.
Educating the community on 4R strategy (Reuse, Recover, Recycle and Reduce) that can
help ease pressure on compost sites and affords resource recovery.
For the long term, it is further proposed that, Development of Scietific the Gurh Nagar Parishad
should co-ordinate with State Government for clustering in regional engineered landfill site for
waste disposal involving other neighbouring ULBs. This also ensures the scale and viability to
the private partnership mode.
5. Improved Sanitory Landfill Method:
Sanitary landfill, method of controlled disposal of municipal solid waste (refuse) on land.
Waste is deposited in thin layers (up to 1 metre, or 3 feet) and promptly compacted by
heavy machinery (e.g., bulldozers); several layers are placed and compacted on top of each
other to form a refuse cell (up to 3 metres, or 10 feet, thick).
At the end of each day the compacted refuse cell is covered with a layer of
compacted soil to prevent odors and windblown debris.
Page 94
When the landfill is completed, it is capped with a layer of clay or a synthetic liner in order
to prevent water from entering.
A final topsoil cover is placed, compacted, and graded, and various forms of vegetation may
be planted in order to reclaim otherwise useless lande.g., to fill to levels convenient for
building parks or other suitable public projects.

Best Practices
Box: Solid waste Management in Surat
Background:
The Surat city is largely recognized for its textile and diamond businesses. Surat is also known for a
complete transformation from one of the filthiest cities to one of the cleanest cities in the country. In
September 1994, the city faced an unprecedented crisis when the killer disease PLAGUE broke out in
the city. However, in May 1995, a new programme was launched by Surat Municipal Corporation
(SMC) to clean the city through waste management. The programme created an enormous impact on
the cleanliness, which resulted in a significant improvement in the health status and quality of living
environment. So much so that Surats image was transformed from one of the filthiest to the second
cleanest city in the country.
Key Components of the program
The SMC adopted multi-pronged strategies to achieve the programme goals, include:
Streamlining of functional, administrative, financial and technological aspects within SMC;

Awareness creation and capacity building of the municipal staff and city population, eespecially
weaker section;
Inviting private sector participation in garbage management;
Introduction of a very well orchestrated garbage removal and disposal schedule;
Educating the public and issuing of instruction for the correct way of garbage disposal.
Private Sector Participation:
Page 95

Involving Private sector on a temporary basis during the plague
epidemic to cleanse the filth and remove dead carcasses accumulated
in the water-logged areas. It was also strengthened and regulated in
the post-plague period in (i) hiring of private vehicles with driver for
garbage collection, ii) contracting out cleaning of certain roads and iii)
employing private sweepers for transporting municipal refuse from
collection points to disposal sites.
Private contractors, at present, handle almost 40 per cent of the solid
waste generated in the city everyday. However, private contractors
work under strict supervision of the municipal staff and penalties are imposed on them for not
performing their assigned work.
Enforcing Sanitation standard
The SMC started to enforce strict hygiene and sanitation standards in eating houses, sweetshops, fruit,
and vegetable shops.
Levy of fines for littering of the public places was instituted. Under this system, the grievances were
categorized. For ensuring feedback, a Reply Card system has been introduced.
A Public Health Mapping exercise was initiated in 1995 by the city government, with a major focus on
preventive and promotive health care.
Streamlining the function of the SMC
The administrative setup for solid waste management was modified and the six zones were sub-divided
into 52 sanitary districts for better waste collection efficiency.
A daily monitoring system was introduced. At the macro-level, the entire administrative and financial
management system of Surat Municipal Corporation was revamped.
A network of about 274 surveillance centres, 90 percent of which are located in slums. This network
includes two municipal hospitals, health centres, major private hospitals and private medical
practitioner.
Impact
The programme has created tangible impact on cleanliness, living environment and awareness level
leading to significant improvement in the mortality and morbidity. A partnership approach between
public and private sector, citizens and community is slowly emerging.
Lesson Learned:
Decentralize governance can play a vital role for the decision making and good governance.
Micro- planning is a very necessary tool for the plan implementation.
Public support facilitates innovations in urban environment management.
Political will is extremely important for successful public policy changes.
Media support plays a dominant role in the creation of public awareness and acceptance of change.

6.2.4 Traffic and Transportation

Background
Urban economy is seen to improve with urban transport infrastructure. Roads and circulation is an
important factor for the growth and development of the town. The objective of the studying town level
transportation is to understand and analyze
the present level travel scenario of the town
and to focus on existing potentials and scope
of development.
Existing Traffic and Transportation

Scenario
Traffic on the roads has been one of the key
transportation problems of any growing town
or city. The Gurh town is no exception to this.
Investigation into the existing traffic scenario
of the town provides insights on how well the
local government (Gurh Nagar Parishad) and
other agencies (PWD and NHAI) are coping
with and managing the growing population
and increased economic activities.
Figure 6.9: Bus Stand in Gurh

The link between transportation and the development of Gurh town is strong and interesting. It is
because the Gurh, a class - IV town with a population of about 14590 as per 2011 Census town is
Page 97

predominantly developed at a strategic location near the state border of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar
Pradesh and NH-75 passes through the town. Inevitably, this is also the same reason why the town is
facing heavy traffic and other transportation problems.
The town can only be reached by road since there is no direct railway connectivity to the town. The
nearest one is 23 km away at Rewa. As such, the roads (NH-75)is important to town as provide service to
a number of buses, trucks and other forms of land vehicles for domestic and commercial purposes.
Additionally, as agriculture is a major economy of Gurh, and NH-75 passes through the town, a
considerable number of trucks carrying agricultural crops.
The public transport is basically buses and jeeps. There is around 60 buses plying through the town and
around 30 jeeps.
Agencies in Traffic and Transportation

The traffic system is regulated under the Rewa District Office of Madhya Pradesh Transport Department.
There is only a few inter city bus services and there is no other mode of public transport in the town.
There is no any intra-town public transport option.
The inter city public transport system for the town can be categorize into two parts i.e. State
Carriage and Private Carriage. State carriage includes buses by the State Government with fixed
routes and fare. The Private Carriage in under purely private domain and includes buses, jeeps,
matadors etc. operated by private operators.
At present there is no intra city public transport system exists in Gurh. As the town is a very
small town all the important places such as major commercial and market areas, bus stands,
hospitals etc. are in the vicinity. Most of the local people generally use cycle, scooter,
motorcycle and walking etc. as mode of travel for short trips or intra zone trips.
Travel Characteristics
The travel characteristic of a town generally depends on the social status of citizens, types and location
of economic activities which give rise to diverse traffic modes. The predominant mode of travel in town
is cycles followed by motorized vehicles such as two- wheeler (Scooter & Motorcycle) and private
transport which includes Three Wheelers (4-5 nos.), four wheelers (Tempo, Matadoors, Jeeps, cars
etc.) about 50 in nos. A town in semi-urban in nature all the important place are in vicinity. Thus, only
major working population uses their own means of transport such as cycles, scooters, motorcycle and
cars etc. for their workplace and other places for day to day needs. Rest of the population prefers to
walk for various purposes. Additionaly, there are other large and small commercial vehicles coming from
the adjoining areas for the commercial purpose to the market or commercial areas of the town.
Public Transport/Mass Transit

State-transport as well as privately owned buses runs throughout Madhya Pradesh. Options in the form
of local buses, semi-deluxe buses, deluxe buses etc. are available for commuting from one city/town to
the other city/town. Most of these buses run on daily basis. Private Jeeps and Matadors apart from
buses also offer services from one town to the other of shorter distance. As far as the public transport
facility within the town is concerned there is no formal public transport system exists in town. As the
town is very small and is in transformation stage from semi-urban to urban, the population is very low.
The major working class population uses their own vehicles cycle, scooter, motorcycle for commuting
in the town. There are few shared auto rickshaw and matadors etc. operated by private operators which
caters the population residing in nearby villages.

Traffic Management and Circulation
The Gurh Nagar Parishad is responsible for development and maintenance of street network (City
Roads), traffic management and circulation system, public transportation system, control of IPT,
development of parking spaces etc.
1. National Highways: This category includes the NH 75 (accounting for 3.77 km of road length of
town) connecting to Rewa. The NHAI is responsible for design and O&M of National Highway in
the town.
2. City Road: The category includes the all local roads at ward level and main road.
i) Total Pucca Road length
= 11.7km
ii) Motorable Road Length
= 9.7km
iii) Non-Motorable Road Length
= 5.8
Ward wise breakup of the above discussed road length and its indicators are shown in below in table
6.21. The town has overall per capita road length 1.86 meters and a road density of 10.68 km per sq. km.
Proper road width and spacing are important in reducing traffic on roads. Unfortunately many of the
important roads in town have become so narrow to facilitate the increasing flow of vehicles. The
unauthorized encroachment along both the sides of roads has covered all the available shoulders
thereby reducing ROW from 20m to 6m further decreased the carrying capacity of roads.
Map: 6-3 Road Network of Gurh Town

The overall condition of these existing roads is not good having pot holes in many places, no proper
drainage, no road furniture for guidance of movers etc. On the contrary, the electric poles situated on
both side of the roads at some places does not permit the traffic to use shoulders and further reduces
effective width of road.
Page 99

At present both the sides of road is full of ribbon development. However, with increasing concentration
of activities in and around the core area of the town, pressure of traffic is increasing on all the major
roads of the town.
Informal shops are located in the core area of the town also one of the traffic generating centers of the
town since major administrative and commercial activities take place in this area.
Core Area of the Town

The core area of the town are predominately consisting of narrow roads due to irregular vehicle
parking; encroachment by informal shops, thela; vegetable and fruit market; presence of
important centers etc. This leads to traffic congestion or regular basis.
Accident Zones
Accident zones are those areas where collisions, ramming and hit-and-run mishaps usually take
place. The heavy and speedy traffic flow on NH, informal commercial developments, unavailability
of transport nagar and unavailability organized parking spaces etc. has increases the possibilities
of accidents in the town. The junctions on national Highway-75 are the most prominent accident
zones in the town due to the heavy and speedy traffic flow.
Inter-City Bus Transport

The transit service to public for state capitals is no different than any other city transit, whether its a
metro or a small city. For smaller towns in Madhya Pradesh it differs in terms of the provider and the
type of facility or bus frequency available to the passengers.
The inter-city bus facility covers almost all the important centers within the district as well as other
surrounding districts. This is provided wither by the state corporations buses or by private operators.
Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation provides transit services to the passenger. It runs
regular services intercity services and interstate services connecting to the neighbouring states with
fixed routes and fares.
The Private Carriage in under purely private domain and includes buses, jeeps, matadors etc. operated
by private operators. The major routes for plying vehicles by private operators includes: GurhRewa,
Gurh-Satna, Gurh-Govindgarh, Gurh-Sidhi and Gurh-Mauganj.
Intermediate Public Transport

At present Gurh town does not have any Intermediate Public Transport System (IPTs) which serve the
citizen of town. As the town is a very small town all the important places such as major commercial and
market areas, bus stands, hospitals etc. are in the vicinity. Most of the local people generally use cycle,
scooter, motorcycle and walking etc. as mode of travel for short trips or intra zone trips. Shared threewheelers auto-rickshaws, four wheelers such as jeeps, matadors and other such vehicles are often found
in the town as public transport providing point-to-point services to the people commuting from the
nearby villages for shopping and other purpose.
Parking Requirement
There is no provision have been made for organized on-street parking and off-street parking at major
commercial centers of the town. Most of the core market area of the town is characterized by narrow
roads with slow moving traffic. Unorganized on-street parking and informal shops leads to
encroachment on the ROW and absence of footpath force the pedestrians to walk on the carriageway.
Page 100

Thus, the capacity of the road is further reduced resulting in conflict between pedestrians and vehicular
traffic. Therefore, there is urgent need/requirement of authorized parking as per the standards for
major commercial areas and in other important areas such as along NH-75, institutional areas etc. of the
town.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
NH-75 passing through the heart of the city (wards 8,
10, 12, 13) connecting Rewa town (District
Headquarter) in NW and Sidhi in East of the town.
Internal connectivity with all the wards with local
and collector roads.
WEAKNESS
Narrow and poor conditions of roads eespecially
in wards with commercial activities like in wards
4, 5,6,11.
No parking facilities in commercial as well as in
residential areas.
Existing bus stand is not in function due to the
insufficient width of the entrance where roads
are very narrow and commercialized. (ward no.
Page 101

Lack of railway connectivity under its premises.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Land availability for major projects like

development of Bus Terminal for goods carriers and
parking facilities in wards 12 and 4, 5, 6 and 11.
Significant distance of the settlements in wards
1,7,14 and 15 generates an opportunity to develop
an internal corridor which connects all the parts of
settlement within the town.
Unorganized development along NH-75 may

cause congestion and traffic problems in future
especially in wards 13 as dumping site and 8, 10
and 12 as the commercial corridor.
Issues
Wards Commercial) 4,5,6 and 11 consisting of narrow roads due to irregular vehicle parking;
encroachment by informal shops, thela; vegetable and fruit market; presence of important
centers etc. This leads to traffic congestion or regular basis.
Lack of designated and organized on-street parking in town in commercial areas of wards
4,5,6,11 and along the NH-75 in wards 8,10
Poor condition of the connectivity of all the wards (Especially 1,7,14 and 15) with access to
commercial areas (wards 4,5,6 and 11)
Town lacks proper traffic and transportation management system.
There is absence of public transportation system, which leads to increase in the number of
personalized modes of transportation and results in traffic congestion in many part of the city in
busy hours.
There is great pressure on major roads such as old NH-75 and since all the major commercial
activities, important institutions etc. are concentrated long these roads.
Currently the existing bus terminal is very small; it is not being used by bus operators because of
paucity of space in making entry and exit due to informal development, inefficient road width.
Hence, its being used as taxi stand.
Narrow streets in the core areas of the town need to be widened through proper planning and
addressing the encroachment problems.
There is a need to provide traffic lights and signals at junctions which are heavily loaded and
causes accidents.

To improve the status of traffic and transportation system in the town following goals have been
identified for different horizon years

components of traffic and transportation in the town, strategies categories under short term measures,
medium term and long term action plans are elaborated below:
1. Short Term Measures: Short term measures includes immediate trouble shooting actions and
traffic management actions such as Intersection or junction improvement in the core areas and accident prone areas to
town.
Traffic signalization at major intersections or junctions and road stretch.
Removal of encroachments on major roads & pavements to provide free flow of traffic.
Conversion of existing bus stand into taxi or auto rickshaw stand.
Establishment of Traffic Police Stations and Traffic Management Centers.
These measures should be taken up on a continuous basis as the travel characteristics and
loading of different links, intersections etc. and change owing to natural growth and change in
land use.
2. Medium Term Action Plan: This aims at to the development of transportation infrastructure
over a perspective plan period of 515 Years to bring about coordinated development among
different components. These measures typically will include various infrastructure projects
including network improvements such as Road up-gradation - Improvement of all existing major roads connecting town to
peripheral areas through widening, strengthening and developing footpaths in phase
manner.
Up-gradation of existing kutcha roads into pucca ones.
New road formation/development for a total length of 13.3 km in different areas of the
town as per the future development of town.
Development, Operation and Maintenance of parking lots with payment on major roads
and commercial areas of town on PPP base.
Upgradation of the existing Bus Stand on BOOT basis.
Development of Truck Terminal/ Transport Nagar on BOOT basis.
For Monitoring and Evaluation: Preparation of a detailed road register and designing and
implementing a system to update the same on a regular basis, including details of construction
and repair/maintenance history.
Page 103

3. Long Term Action Plan: The long term action plan aims at to the development of structure plan
for the town with transit as one of the lead components, which will direct the urban growth so
as to bring about a structural fit between transit infrastructure and urban growth. This will also
include the introduction of eco-friendly intra-city public transport system and also examine a
comprehensive multi-modal Public Transport System to bring about the most optimal mix of
commuting within the town and thus providing a sustainable transit solution.

The creation of a reliable, comfortable, attractive and affordable traffic management system is the longterm solution for solving the traffic problems in the city. Thus, constructions of new bus stand to provide
a high quality transit system. Provisions of parking facilities are envisaged to solve parking problem and
congestion in core areas. To achieve the goals in this sector the following projects are identified:

6.2.5 Street Lighting and Fire Fighting

Existing Situation of Street Lights
Providing full coverage by street light is import in development of town as it facilitates urban movement
and safeguards life and property. Street light has been provided in all wards. There are some outer
wards like ward 14 and 15 where the number of street light is small and some stretches of the road have
no street light in those outer wards which are more rural in character.
There are about 242 street light poles in the town and around 210 have CFL and 32 have incandescent
bulp.
There will be a requirement of 218 more electric light by 2035.
Fire Service
Page 104

There is no separate office for the fire fighting operations in the town. The responsibility of fire service
has been delegated to the municipality, among other tasks but there is no formal fire fighting services is
available in the town. In such anthropogenic hazards situation few water tankers being used and GNP
ask help from Theonther and District Headquarter Rewa.
Vehicle and Equipments for Fire Fighting and Rescue Operations

At present, to handle and overcome the anthropogenic hazards like fire the ULB is not equipped with
any firefighting service vehicles for the entire town. There is no additional options/manpower available
for rescue operations.
Other than this, ULB also does not have any electric pole vehicle for streetlight repairing in the town.
Operational System
At present there is no formal fire fighting services is available in the town. In such anthropogenic
hazards situation few water tankers being used and GNP ask help from theonther and District
Headquarter Rewa.
Thus, the ULB urgently needs a fully fledged fire fighting department equipped with latest firefighting
vehicles (including operation and maintenance of assets) and well trained manpower to control the
anthropogenic hazard and fire mishap for Gurh Nagar Parishad.
Present and Future Demand and Supply Gaps Fire Fighting

The present and future demand and supply gaps for horizon year 2035 under fire fighting sector for
Gurh has been worked out tentatively and is tabulated below:

6.2.6 Urban Poor and theit Accessibility to Basis Services

Poverty in the Town
Around 15.7% (1955) of total population (12450) are slums, squatter and other poor population which
mainly resides in ward no. 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 of the town. Their contribution to the citys economy has been
growing over the period. In the absence of clear policy to address their problems, the poor may 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 socio-economic development.
Slums in the Town

Some of the densely populated areas in the city are classified as slums primarily because of lack of basic
services and also due to their unauthorized construction. Slums have kutcha houses and no open spaces.
According to the information or data provided by Nagar Parishad there are 10 wards which are 1, 2, 3,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 15 where slum population in Gurh are residing in Jhuggies/ Basti.
General Characteristics of Slum

Slums and squatter settlements are essentially products of poverty. In the context of basic service
delivery, almost by definition, the population living in slums lacks access to basic infrastructure services
like safe water, sanitation, solid waste collection and disposal, drainage, access roads, street lights,
neighbourhood amenities like safe play areas for children and community facilities and electricity
connections.
The social composition of a majority of slums comprises SC, ST and OBC population. Most of the slums
have predominantly one caste staying in it or people from one place of origin.
A majority of the working population in slums are engaged in small scale industries or work as
agricultural laborers.
Health related obligatory functions of the Nagar Parishad are restricted and health related activities are
insufficient. Primary health is in poor conditions in the slums and lack of awareness among people.
Status of Slums (Notified/ Un-notified)

In Gurh there are total 15 wards. Out of these 15 wards; 3 nos. of wards are notified as slum wards
which are ward no. 7, 9 and 15.
Land Ownership and Tenure Status
Page 109

Most of the slums residing in these 5 numbers of wards in Gurh are located on government land.
Government land includes land belonging to the state or municipal govt. There are also many slums
which are located on private lands belongs to individuals.
Government has from time to time issued the slum households legal ownership/ title of land/ Patta, as
part of its policy to ensure tenure security to the poor and landless.
Most of the slum dwellers have legal Land ownership. The land has been given to all the slum dwellers
on pattas. The Patta Act, 1984 & 1998 was introduced to grant leasehold rights to the landless persons
occupying urban lands. The act was amended in 1998 under Rajiv Gandhi Ashrya Abhiyan.
Urban Basic Services in Slums (in line with JnNURMs 7 point chater)
Slums within the town do not have adequate infrastructure facilities. The following analysis has been
done taking into account the seven point charter.
Status of Physical Infrastructure in Slums

Housing
The shelter conditions are very scruffy in the selected pockets. The majorities of the houses in these
slums areas are made of mud and wattle with burnt mud tiles (Khapra) and iron sheet roofs. These are a
carry-over from rural housing and its so-called semi-permanent houses (tin roofs plastered/ unplastered floors with the occasional plastered mud wall or wood and bamboo). Many of these houses
lack basic amenities such as toilet, power, water and security.
Water Supply
In present situation most of the residents of the slum obtain their water either from an improved point
sources, like well or bore wells or from municipal council piped supply system. Most of the open wells
rely on hand-drawn methods of water collection using rope and bucket. Some bore well are fitted with
individual hand pumps for local supply.
Drainage
The existing condition of surface drainage is a mess in the whole slum pocket. Most of the roads in the
selected slum areas do not have proper drainage system. During the monsoon most of these roads get
crammed with muddy water, which remain stagnant for weeks and as a result give rise to many
diseases.
Sanitation
At present the main type of sanitation in these slum areas is the pit latrine. A few houses have water
closets with septic tanks which has been a major factor in ground water contamination. The sanitation
alternatives in selected sum areas also comprises of public latrine blocks, the pour flush latrines and
toilet blocks which are usually connected to septic tanks and then to nallah flowing to River Bichhiya and
Renuka. The present condition suggests that the public toilets are not successful in the town since a
communal facility often seems to belong to no one. Individual users have very little feelings of
responsibility or commitment to keeping it clean under these circumstances. The latrines become
Page 110

unhygienic and in-sanitary and as a result people stop using it. Thus, the residents who do not have
access to one of these sanitation facilities have the common practice of open defecation in open spaces.
Sewerage
In the existing scenario, the underground and protected sewerage system is absent in the entire town
area. In the slum areas sewage, sludge and storm water flows in open kuccha drains which caused
serious health and safety risks.
Raod & Street Lighting

All the roads in the selected slums are narrow tracks eroded by runoff water. These roads lack drainage
which compounds the erosion problem. Only few areas in these slums have reasonably good access
roads on the periphery asphalt. In the internal areas of the slums there are largely stone
paved/cemented and kuccha roads. The existing roads in slum areas have poor physical conditions and
there is absence of other supportive services.
At present street lighting in these slum areas are concerned, Nagar Parishad has provided the same to
urban poor but level of provision is low as compared to other areas of the town. Still there are few
pockets in these slum areas where street light has not been provided.
Solid Waste Management

As per the data provided by Gurh Nagar Parishad, there are 4 dustbins in the selected slum areas. Most
of the households dump their waste in the open or along the river side. Door-to-door collection system
is still not in practice.
Status of Social Infrastructure in Slums

Access to social infrastructure is an important factor for human development eespecially in slum areas.
This section highlights the availability of educational and medical facilities within the slum
areas/pockets.
Educational Facilities
There are four primary schools, two middle schools and one higher secondary school in the town. There
is a no any technical institution like ITI in the town. The basic facilities of drinking water and toilets are
available in all the educational centres. Three Anganwdi Kendra in the town is operational. While as far
as slums are concerned, there is no any school within these slum areas.
Health Facilities
As per the survey conducted under the programme, very less percentage of slum pockets have access to
health care facilities within the distance of 100 meters to 500 meters. Most of the urban poor have to
travel more than 1.5 km distance to Community Health Center for health care facility.
Present and Future Housing Demand

As per Census of India 2011, the average household size in the town is 5.35 which is higher than the
national urban average of 5.12. Since the town is in transition phase of development (rural to urban), its
semi-urban in nature. The present and future housing demand for town has been estimated by taking
into account the ideal size of a household / dwelling unit (DU) that is 5.0. The average household size in
most of the wards is higher than the ideal household size.

Note: Present and Future Housing Demand and Gap for Slum has been calculated by taking the present percentage
of slum population to the total population.
Based on the above assumptions, at present there is a gap for slum housing of 44 houses. This indicates
that there is a demand for housing.

1. Rajiv Awas Yojana: Guidelines for Slum-free City Planning
City Slum-free Plans of Action will require Slum Redevelopment/Rehabilitation Plans based on (a) survey
of all slums - notified and non-notified; (b) database creation of slums using the geospatial technologies;
(c) integration of spatial and socio-economic data; and (d) identification of redevelopment model
proposed for each slum. It will also require policies and measure for the non-proliferation of growth of
slums in the future.
States/UTs may consider the following steps for preparation of Slum-free City /Slum
Redevelopment/Rehabilitation Plans subject to the stipulation that the entire process of slum-free city
planning will have to be professionally managed and also be participatory, duly involving the slum
communities, NGOs, CBOs, municipal elected representatives, including Mayors and Municipal
Chairpersons, experts etc.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
There are substantial numbers of urban poor who Slums are located in high density residential areas

like in wards 4, 6,7,9,0 and 11 with poor housing
2,3,5,7 and 9.
and living condition which is a constraint for the
un-uniform growth and development of the town.
Lands are available eespecially near the slum 2, 3,
7 and 9 for the redevelopment or the relocation of
the slum into better habitat.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Availability of lands around the populated area Most of the urban poor are associated with the

rehabilitation programmes.
town so relocation can put a direct impact on their
sources of income.
Cheap available lands eespecially in wards 1,7,14
and 15 can invites developers to provide EWS and
LIG housing development in the town.
Issues
Most of the houses in the slums are kutcha type. There is lack of basic services and amenities in terms of
quantity and quality. Due to bad economic conditions, the urban poor are not able to contribute much
into housing. Most of the slums have land tenure ship, which can acts as a potential for improvement of
slums in the city.
Presently slum population is around 30.04% of the total population and covering almost 5 no. of
wards of the city
Out of total 15 wards. Out of these 15 wards; 3 nos. of wards are notified as slum wards which
are ward no. 7, 9 and 15
Degraded environmental conditions in low lying areas of wards 2,3,5 and 7
Encroachment of vacant public spaces near to rivers in ward number 3
City Specific Stategies and Action Plans
Page 113
Encouraging slum improvement schemes like improvement of physical i.e. water supply,
drainage, sanitation facilities as well as social infrastructure like education, health facilities in the
slums.
Construction of underground sewage system in the town including slum areas.
Solid waste bins must be provided to all the wards and ensure the primary and secondary
collection including segregation of waste at source level.
Pucca drains and culverts must be provided in all wards including slum areas.
Providing land ownership to the slum dwellers that are located in non-hazardous govt. land, so
that the people can invest of their own houses.
For skill up gradation and economic up-liftment various schemes should introduce, so that
people can spare for proper housing.
Involvement of NGOs should be encouraged for improvement of slums.
Government should act as a facilitator rather than provider for the improvement of the housing
condition of the slums.
Community participation should be emphasized in any of the schemes launched by the govt. or
NGOs.
Relocation of slums from hazardous/flood prone areas.
Dilapidated condition of houses (Ward No. 2)
Women collecting water from tap (Ward No. 5)

Presently slum is covering 9.25% of the city and there is lack of physical and social infrastructure in most
of the slums as well. So to make the city slum free the following projects are identified in this sector:

Overall Health Facilities
There is general awareness among the residents
about environment protection and cleanliness in the
town. The parishadt is actively engaged in maintaining
cleanliness and hygiene of the town in general. At
present, there is one 30 bed Community Health
Centre.Two ambulance is available in the town 24
hour for Janani Suraksha Yojna. One Ayurvedic
Figure 6.10 Community Health Centre in Gurh
hospital is also in working condition. One veterinary
hospital is also provided by government. Apparently, the existing health systems seem to be adequate
to meet the local requirements of existing population. However, the demand for health services is
bound to increase along with growth in population and there is a need for creating a specialty hospital
for the growing population.
Basic Health Indicators

The basic health indicators in the city are infant mortality rate, life expectancy, maternal mortality ratio,
Physicians per 10,000 populations, Nurses per 10,000 populations: Professional nurses, Total
Expenditure on Health (TEH) as percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Occurrence of epidemics
etc.
Medical Facilities
At present, there is one 30 bed Community Health Centre.Two ambulance is available in the town 24
hour for Janani Suraksha Yojna. One Ayurvedic hospital is also in working condition. One veterinary
hospital is also provided by government.
Role of Municipal Body in Health Programmes

The department of public health and family welfare is responsible for the health related factors in the
state of Madhya Pradesh. This department organizes several health campaigns initiated by the state and
central government and monitors the health indicators of the state. Major role of the municipal body is
to assist the state official in the health campaigning and awareness programmes launched for the
citizens. However, basic health facilities are provided through Community Health Center administered
by Public Health and family Welfare Department of State Government. Looking at the development of
Gurh and its future growth prospects, it is important to initiate and strengthen the health facility
services for municipal body itself to provide the effective health services to the citizens of the town.

6.3.3 Recreation and Entertainment

Recreational Facilities (Parks, Playgrounds etc)
At present there is no any designated and organized parks & playground, in the town as recreational
facilities for the citizens except the area along the river side which is not maintained and developed.
Sports Facilities
Presently there is no formal provision of stadium facility in Gurh town for sports by the municipal body
for the citizens of town.
6.3.4 Fire Fighting Services

There is no separate office for the fire fighting operations in the town. The responsibility of fire service
has been delegated to the municipality, among other tasks but there is no formal fire fighting services is
available in the town. In such anthropogenic hazards situation few water tankers being used and GNP
ask help from Theonther and District Headquarter Rewa. More over there is no additional
options/manpower available for rescue operations.
Thus, the ULB urgently needs a fully fledged fire fighting department equipped with latest firefighting
vehicles (including operation and maintenance of assets) and well trained manpower to control the
anthropogenic hazard and fire mishap for Gurh Nagar Parishad.

Introducing private schools with nominal fees in
the town eespecially in wards 1,7,14 and 15 to
increase the literacy level.
River front development of the rivers Bichhiya and
Renuka along the wards 1, 3, 7 and 12.
Education
All the schools are concentrated in the core of the
town in wards 2,5,12 and 14

Lack of concerned local urban body to encourage
the improvement of the existing natural assets like
ponds in wards 13 and rivers along the wards 1, 3,
7 and 12.
Page 121
6.3.7 Issues
1. Health Sector
Town has insufficient facilities for hospital, poly-clinic and dispensary and doctors.
Town has no intermediate/specialty hospital and specialized health care facilities for which
it depends on nearest town Rewa.
2. Education Sector
Town has insufficient no. of primary schools.
The physical conditions of the schools are not good. During rainy season it becomes very
difficult to carry out the educational activities due to seepage/leakage problem.
Schools are not having proper basic requirement of drinking water and sanitation facilities
for students, except private school.
Inadequate teaching staff in Government Schools.
Town does not have any technical/vocational training institute such as ITI.
3. Recreational and Entertainment Sector
Lack of planned recreational facilities when there is a strength in terms of natural asset like
ponds and rivers in wards 1,2,3,7,13 etc.
Town does not have community gathering halls or rooms, public library etc. for the citizens.
Picnic spot or recreational area like River Front is there but its proper development has not
been done.
6.3.8 City Specific Strategies and Action Plan

1. Health Sector
Extension of hospital situated in the premise of community health centre.
As there is poor infrastructure in health sector in the town, so care should be taken by
providing land for development of new intermediate/ multi-specialty hospitals, poly-clinics,
increase beds and no, of doctors in the existing hospital and health care centers.
Lacking of specialized medical care in the existing health care centers, so specialized
medical services should be facilitated in the town by constructing dispensaries.
Municipal body can initiate the different health campaigns throughout the year and create
the public awareness for prevention of diseases eespecially during monsoon season.
By providing proper health facilities in the city, health tourism can be promoted in the area
which will serve the region and generate economy for the city.
2. Education Sector
Facilitating provision of more number of schools at the primary and secondary education
level along with required infrastructure facilities for the sector.
Reconstruction or renovation of school buildings and other infrastructure which are in
dilapidated conditions.
Enhancement and maintenance of infrastructure facilities like drinking water, toilet, solid
waste management etc. in schools and other educational institutions.
Establishment of vocational training institutes and ITIs.
For adult skill up gradation as well as self-employment opportunities, establishment of
vocational school should be encouraged.
Construction of Anganwadi centres in every ward.
Public awareness programmes should be encouraged in urban poor areas as they are not
willing to educate their children.
Page 122
Municipal body shall initiate the literacy campaigning and spread the awareness of
education eespecially in the slum region.
Municipal body shall initiate the awareness programmes related to Right to Education
eespecially for girls and its importance to all citizens to increase the literacy rate among the
female.
3. Recreational and Entertainment Sector
Municipal body shall identify the place and initiate the development of community room,
Rain Basera, community halls and public library in town for the citizens as per the norms.
River front development can be done on PPP basis along both the side of River Bichhiya and
Renuka which can be use and conserved as major tourist site, picnic spot or recreational
area for the citizens as well as for domestic tourism.
Municipal body shall identify place and designate the same as parks and play grounds for
the resident coped with present and future development of town.
Municipal body shall identify the site for the development of Stadium/play ground for the
town.

Health Facilities
Most of the population is not served by this because of poor medical infrastructure facilities in terms of
hospital beds and doctors. So the following projects are identified for the overall development of this
sector.

Environment
6.4.1 Flora and Fauna

As such there is no records found regarding the flora and fauna in the study area i.e. Gurh Nagar
Parishad. The project roads run through agricultural land and settlement areas.
At regional level, the region is rich of valuable minerals, forests and wild animals. Variability in climatic
conditions brings about significant difference in the forest types of the state. There are four important
forest types viz. Tropical Moist, Tropical Dry, Tropical Thorn, Subtropical broadleaved Hill forests. The
status of the forests is reserved and protected forests and forests owned and maintained by villagers
that have no protected status.
The prevalent trees in the forests of Rewa District are Mango, Neem, Jamun Sagon, Sal, Tendu, Shishum,
Eucalyptus, Teak, Palas, Saja, Mahua bambaoo etc, The brushwood consists mainly of the species
Grewiazizyphus, Casearia, Antidesma, Woodfordia, Flueggia, Phyllanthus, Bosewellia and Buchanania
with occasional trees of mahua (Bassialatifolia). The Rewa District is famous for white tigers, bears,
panthers, sambar (Cervus unicolor), Chinkara (Gazellabenetii) and other species. Wild fowl of all classes
are common throughout its area.
6.4.2 Pollution Levels (Air, Water and Soil)
There is no monitoring facility for pollution level in Gurh.

Pollution Control Board located in Rewa the District Headquarter.
But by a general feel we can say that since there are no industries and the region is surrounded
by agricultural land the main cause of pollution to the river is the outfall of waste water of town.
6.4.3 City Green Spaces

As per the existing landuse 2011 the town has plenty of agricultural land but does not have any
designated and organized green space or open spaces for the citizens of town. According to the UDPFI
Page 124

guidelines, the open spaces for parks and playgrounds/ green space should be around 12-14% of the
total developed area, which shows there is a lack of planned developed open spaces in the city.
6.4.4 Water Front Development and Conservation

River Bichhiya and Renuka is only the major water body in the town. Passing through the town, river
flows from west to east direction and divide the town in two parts. Presently no initiatives have been
taken by the GNP for the well planned river front development along both the side of River Bichhiya and
Renuka.
Therefore to attract the potential domestic and national/international tourists to Gurh, different water
front development activities like green belt, boating, landscape along the riverside should be developed.
6.4.5 Issues
No records found regarding the flora and fauna.

Waste water drains directly discharge along with municipal solid waste into the river resulted
into the pollution Bichhiya and Renuka River.
River Bichhiya and Renuka can be taken up for water front development & conservation along
the wards 1,2,3,7 and 12.
Inadequate planning efforts regarding provision of green spaces for citizens especially in
residential areas of wards 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc and public health is under threat due to absence
of basic infrastructure facilities.
There is no environmental compliance system at municipal level.
Lack of air, water and soil pollution monitoring facilities for pollution level.
Inadequate planning efforts regarding provision of green spaces for citizens.
Public health is under threat due to absence of basic infrastructure facilities.
Waste water drains directly discharge along with municipal solid waste into the river resulted
into the pollution Bichhiya and Renuka River.
Informal sectors and slums settlements in open areas.
Conservation and beautification of existing ponds and other water bodies.

Development of designated and
organized parks and playground in
the town as per the standards.
Conservation and plantation of
appropriate tree species on the
existing roadsides and along both the
sides of river to mitigate the level of
air pollutants.
Promotion of rainwater-harvesting
and providing more open spaces for
water recharge and plantation at the
planning stage for development
schemes.
In order to control the environmental
pollution, GNP shall initiate the
awareness campaigns for plantation and Figure 6.12 A view of the old Fort lying in dilapidated
consition
other pollution control strategies.
Page 125

There is need of municipal level policy for urban greening of the town with review and
monitoring provisions.
Heritage and Conservation
6.5.1 Identification of Tourist Spots at Local Level

At town level, Gurh has few tourist destinations. Kashtaharnath Temple and the old fort are notable
among them. The old fort built by Jayant Rao is lying in dilapidated condition due to the negligence of
the archaeological and tourism department of the state. Currently, a portion of the old fort has been
converted into high school which is being expanded in the compound of the fort. The grim negligence of
the heritage structure is quite visible as you can see a toilet has been constructed in the interior part of
the fort. The existing water bodies (i.e. river front development of Bhichhiya and Bihiya and ponds) can
be developed as recreational area for town and also as a major eco-tourism site for the locals. Baba
Bhairao temple is situated at a distance of 5km from the town and the place has good potential for
tourism as the area has good scenic beauty. The idol is in lying position having a length of 24 ft. yearly;
fair is held during the month of July-August near the premises of the temple. There is lack of sufficient
and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services in town that can hold the tourist. Tourist
coming to Orchha or Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park can be
tapped. Thus, the town Gurh falls under KhajurahoPannaBandhavgarh-Chitrakoot-Allahabad tourist
circuit.
Two day fair is organised at Kashtaharnath Temple on Vasant Panchmi amd Shivratri. A fair is also
organised at the Dam on the way to Nagar Parishad while going there from Rewa.
Hanuman Mandir is also good for attracting local tourists in the month of November. And Ram-vivah
programme is organised during the event.
Unfortunately, the town has not been able to capitalize its potential in this sector as the site is in undeveloped stage and lacks sufficient and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services such
as street lights, public drinking water, public toilets, eating places etc. that can hold the tourist.

6.5.3 Identification of Tourist Spots at Local Level

There is no as such any heritage structure in Gurh town which can be a heritage value.
6.5.4 Existing Regulations/Heritage Guidelines at the ULB and State Level

As stated earlier that as such there is no any structure/building of heritage importance in the town, the
Urban Local Body (Gurh Nagar Parishad) does not have any proper guidelines laid for identification and
improvement of heritage structures. So there is a need to act in this regard and frame proper guidelines
for the declaration and maintenance of heritage structures in and around the city. For this the guidelines
of INTACH can be taken into account to formulate guidelines.
The tourism policy of Madhya Pradesh envisages creation of an environment conducive to attracting
increased private investment in the tourism sector and a more meaningful role for the Government.
Strategy for development of tourism in the State includes the following areas:
1. Improvement and creation of adequate basic infrastructure-land, road, water, electricity, toilet
facility etc.
2. Up-gradation and augmentation of accommodation, catering and recreational facilities.
3. Augmentation of transport facilities.
4. Marketing of destinations to ensure optimal use of infrastructure.
5. Establishment and strengthening institutions for the development of human resources.
6. Evolving suitable policies for increasing foreign exchange earnings.
Page 129

7. Promotion of the arts and craft of the State.
6.5.5 Heritage Issues

The main issues related to heritage are:
As of now there is no any such heritage structure in the town; hence, there is lack of proper
guidelines for identification, conservation and maintenance of heritage structures.
Poor awareness among the local people about the heritage values of the structures.
Poor tourism infrastructure.
6.5.6 Tourism Potential of the Town

At town level, Gurh has no any famous tourist destination and heritage buildings except river/ghats and
temple little known outside the town. The existing water bodies (i.e. Bichhiya and Renuka River) can be
developed as recreational area for town by developing river front along both the sides of river and also
as a major eco-tourism site for the locals as well as for national tourist passing straight to Orchha or
Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park. This will also provide the options
for livelihood to citizens and increase the revenue of GNP.
6.5.7 Comparative Analysis with the UDPFI & UNESCO Guidelines

There are no comparative guidelines available for tourism and heritage structure. However, the analysis
has been done for the tourism and heritage structure based on the other cities experiences and certain
assumptions.

Promoting Gurh as a transit point for the surrounding tourist destination like Govindgarh, Gurh,
Orchha or Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park.

Presently the tourism industry is lacking infrastructure facilities and there is lack of active recreational
space in the city. With a goal to enhance the tourism activities in the city the following projects are
identified for improvement of the sector:

CHAPTER 7
Physical Infrastructure: Water Supply
Page 132

7.1

Introduction
its investment climate. Water supply is one of the key physical infrastructures required for the sustained
growth and development of a town. Gurh being a small town and located strategically has a good
potential for the future growth. Keeping in view the present and future requirement of the water
supply, it becomes imperative to think of and devise the best mechanism to augment the water supply
need and demand. The two rivers Bichhiya and Renuka are seasonal rivers which limits the scope of
tapping the surface water for the drinking water supply. The water supply system requires an
assessment be made of its coverage, quantity and quality, as also the demand supply gap. Finally, it can
be possible to come out with the requisite solution to the problem of water supply in current scenario
and innovation will be needed to augment the water supply to cater to the projected demand for water.
7.2
The water supply system in Gurh Nagar

Parishad is predominantly depending on
ground water. The nine tube wells scattered
over various parts of the town are the main
source of piped supply of water. The installed
capacity of the overhead tanks is 3.25 MLD and
1.25 in ward no. 3 and 13 respectively. There
are around 23 open wells and there are around
160 handpumps in the town.
The quality of water drawn from river is fairly
good. There is no detectable odour & taste and
the colour is found to be turbid. The city
encounters bit water shortage during summers
when Bichhiya and Renuka River dries up and water
table falls down. The current ground water level
is at the depth of 70 to 80 feets.
The two rivers Bichiya and Renuka being
seasonal rivers, water is not tapped for supply in
the town. Thus, we can see that Gurh is mainly
dependant on the ground water for drinking
water supply.
7.3
Figure 7.1 Over Head Tank in ward 13
The present water distribution system includes

water pipelines. There are 2 Over Head Tanks
(OHT) in Gurh with 3.25 lakh litres and 1.25 lakh
litres capacity. Both are in good working
condition. 1 hour daily water is supplied in the
connected wards no 3 and 13. Number of connections
is 100. There is 6 public hand pum provided by the
Figure 7.2 Municipal water supply
Page 133

parishad. There are three water tankers in the Nagar Parishad. Ward no 15 is served by water tanker
during summer season.
To meet the present demand of water for town, water is being supplied from dug well through pumps of
different capacity installed at nearby Bichhiya and Renuka River. In addition, there are 5 Tube Wells is
distributed in various part of town through network pipeline connected with the major pipeline. The
ward no. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have working water supply network. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and
15 dont have any water supply network.
Thus, the town get majority of water supply directly from these tube wells located in various part of
town without any treatment. The per capita supply is estimated under the existing supply system which
is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd.
Other Sources
In addition to the main sources, a significant volume of
ground water is also extracted through hand pumps and
wells installed at various locations. There are around 23 open
wells. And there are around 160 hand-pumps in the town.
People mostly depend on these sources of water as the
water supply is not sufficient to cater to the demand of the
water wherever there is water supply line. And some areas
have no any water supply line in the town.
7.4
The present water distribution system includes water

pipelines system which is not sufficient. The water distribution
Figure 7.3 Handpump
arrangement includes - two OHTs and hand pumps. The town get
majority of water supply through the network pipelines laid down in different part of the town. These
network lines are linked with main pipelines coming from the nine tube wells (located in various parts of
the town). Water during summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also
supplied through Water Tankers. Presently there are 2 Water Tankers with a capacity of 4500 liters with
Nagar Parishad.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Presence of enough natural sources of water
like ponds in wards 13 and 15 and two rivers
Bichhiya and Renuka covering almost all the
wards from SW to NE direction
2 OHT (Capacity 3.5, 1.25 LL), 2 water tanks of
capacity 4500 L, 9 tube wells, 360 handpumps
and two rivers shows the enough capability of
the town in terms of the water supply.
OPPORTUNITY
Water revenue demand can be enhanced
through drive of new house connection
eespecially in wards 1, 7,9, 14 and 15.
Water from the river can be treated and
supplied to conserve underground water.
Rain water harvesting can be introduced and
can be collected in the NW direction of the
town in wards 1 and 7.
7.8
THREAT
drainage carrying sewerage water eespecially
from wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 into
the rivers causing for the contamination of the
water as it is the major source of drinking water.
Issues
7.9
WEAKNESS
Connection is not there in all the wards
eespecially in ward no. 15, during summer Nagar
Parishad arranges water tankers to supply there.
Present water supply is 0.19 MLD whereas the future requirement is 2.36 MLD by 2035
(considering 135 lpcd).
Water distribution system is old and has limited coverage. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and 15 dont
have any water supply network.
Water during summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also
supplied through Water Tankers eespecially in wards 1, 14 and 15.
Contamination of water in the rivers Renuka and Bichhiya which are the major sources of water
due to the direct injection of drainage and storm water into the rivers.

7.10 Low Cost Water Treatment Option

includes Plain sedimentation, Slow Sand filtration, and Rapid Sand filtration with Coagulationflocculation units as essential pretreatment units.
Rapid sand filters use relatively coarse sand and other granular media to remove particles and impurities
that have been trapped in a floc through the use of flocculation chemicals--typically salts of aluminum or
iron. Water and flocs flows through the filter medium under gravity or under pumped pressure and the
flocculated material are trapped in the sand matrix.
Mixing, flocculation and sedimentation processes are typical treatment stages that precede filtration.
Chemical additives, such as coagulants, are often used in conjunction with the filtration system.
A disinfection system (typically using chlorine or ozone) is commonly used following filtration. Rapid
sand filtration has very little effect on taste and smell and dissolved impurities of drinking water, unless
activated carbon is included in the filter medium.

8.3
Development Authority
In Gurhtown there is no development authority right now.
8.4
Public Health Engineering Department
Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) is one of the major departments of the state of Madhya
Pradesh as it is not only responsible for the provision of the public health but also carries the water
supply and sewerage and sanitation projects in entire state. Major infrastructure projects under urban
infrastructure are implemented by public health engineering department both in the urban and rural
areas.
8.5
Madhya Pradesh Housing Board
The Madhya Pradesh Housing Board had been set up by the government of Madhya Pradesh as a
corporate body under the 1972 Madhya Pradesh Griha Nirman Mandal Adhiniyam Act. The Madhya
Pradesh Housing Board is the only housing board in India that does not receive any subsidy from the
government. The main objective of the housing board in Madhya Pradesh is to provide housing and
basic accommodation to the needy people in the state. In the state of Madhya Pradesh, the Madhya
Pradesh Housing Board is the single largest builder and developer of real estate. The housing board
contributes around 10,000 plots and 6,000 houses per year to the housing stock in the state. It has
invested around Rs. 2,000 crore in the construction and housing sector.
The various objectives of the Madhya Pradesh Housing Board are:
To construct houses for the various sections of the society that is the low, middle, and the high
income groups
To make various schemes that provide financial help to the high and middle income groups in
the purchase of houses
To select the sites where houses are to be constructed and to decide the various facilities that
are to be provided in the houses
The various activities of the Madhya Pradesh housing board are:
To develop the infrastructure

For the victims of earthquake to develop rehabilitation projects
To construct public and office utility complexes
To construct hotels, public co-operative, and hospitals
To develop community, sports, and leisure projects
Page 145

The Madhya Pradesh Housing Board has been successful to a large extent in catering to the
accommodation needs of the people of Madhya Pradesh. However, there still exists significant scope for
improvement and the state government is making all possible efforts to ensure that the infrastructure
provided by the Madhya Pradesh Housing Board is efficient and utilitarian.
8.6
Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board
Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPCCB) - The Board has been vested with considerable
authority and responsibility under various legislations to prevent the pollution. M.P. Pollution Control
Board presently looks after the implementation of following Acts:
Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

Water (Prevention & control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977.
Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
Environmental Protection Act, 1986 (certain sections).
Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991.
The main objective of Board is to maintain water, air and soil in healthy and usable condition for various
purposes. There are 10 Regional Offices, 4 Sub Regional, 3 Single Window System, 2 Monitoring Centre
equipped with trained personnel and sophisticated instruments, are constantly keeping watch on
environmental activities in the state to attain the objectives.
Major functions of the boards are to reduce, control and monitor the state environmental pollution in
terms of air, water and soil. It also provides several consents for industries to establish and operate in
order to maintain the environmental compliance within the state.
8.7
Role of Private Sector in Infrastrucutre Service Provision
There is no role of private sector in service delivery mechanism or infrastructure creation at Gurh. The
role of private sector is restricted to social sector - education and health care in a limited manner. Even
outsourcing of activities such as street light provision, solid waste collection and transportation which
are common among small municipalities is not practiced at Gurh.
8.8
8.9
Issues
Inadequate staff in Gurh Nagar Parishad.
Lack of co-ordination between different departments of state and Gurh Nagar Parishad for
administration and regulation of functions and services.
Absence of training and capacity building for staff in order to improve the service delivery to the
citizens.
Absence of private sector roles in provision of infrastructure service and in their delivery
mechanism.

Accrual-based, double-entry accounting system should be incorporated in the present
governance system.
Balance sheet preparation should be started to strength the financial and governance system.
Computerization of the system which mainly includes three things:
o Financial and account
o Workshop: Solid Waste management & Street lightening
o Technical Development: In Water supply, roads networking etc.
Page 146
Implementation of E-governance with IT applications like GIS, MIS etc.

User charges should be applied to recover O&M cost.
Basic services to the poor and security of tenure at affordable prices
Municipal Council need to gear themselves for meeting future challenges in service delivery.
Therefore, they need to initiate a process of transition by adopting various organization
management principles such as improved accounting techniques, monitoring and evaluation of
projects (including social audit), and improved budgeting methods.
Focus on developing the skills of municipal staff on a regular basis. Human resources are the key
to efficient service delivery in any organization. Municipal Council will need to emphasize on
developing core skills of municipal staff in order to ensure that these skills are relevant to the
ever-changing operational environment.
Decentralization of functions: Decentralization of municipal functions, particularly in service
delivery, citizen interface and planning will greatly enhance the operational capabilities of
Municipal Council.
Special budget should be incorporate for the target groups like urban poors, women etc. which
gives basically focus on infrastructure development, affordable housing for poors, local
economic generation etc.
Demand Collection Balance should be started at ward level.

Investment Plan and Financing Strategies

Revenue Account
The revenue account comprises two components - revenue income and revenue expenditure.
Revenue income comprises internal resources and external sources of income of Gurh. Internal
sources of income, also referred to as own sources of income, comprise tax and non-tax items.
The external resources come in the form of shared taxes/ transfers and revenue grants from
the State and Central Governments and loans from the Financial Institutions. Revenue
expenditure comprises expenditures incurred on salaries, operation & maintenance cost,
contribution & donations and debt servicing.
9.1.1
Key Assumptions
Basic key assumptions are as follows;

Own services sources be increased and grants, funds should be decrease.
Capital expenditure percentage should be increased and current expenditure to the total
expenditure should be reduced.
Tax sources & non tax sources, both should be increased and diversified over a period of time.
9.1.2 Non Tax Sources

Non tax sources are as follows:
Water supply
Rents
Sale of properties.
Penalties
Interest rate
9.2
Revenue Income
The major sources of revenue income are as follows:

Municipal Rates & Taxes
Receipts under Special Acts
Income from sources other than Municipal Property Tax
Receipts from Water Tax
Miscellaneous / Others
Extra-Ordinary and Loans
Based on the Accounts procured from Gurh, the information in respect of Revenue Income is as under:
From the figure, it can be clearly observed that the income is increasing every year with a very high
growth rate. Total income of Gurh in the financial year2009-10 was 184.31 Lakhs and it was 242.87 Lakhs
in the financial year 2010-11. Total income of Gurh is increasing every year because of increasing Property
as well as resources of taxes and grants.

income from non taxes sources which has a contributing of Rs 146.4 Lakhs and 155.34 Lakhs in the
FY2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively. This source has a very high growth rate in comparison of other
sources.

Capital Account
The capital account comprises capital income and capital expenditure. Capital income consists of
income earned by the Gurh from loans raised, transfers from revenue surplus and utilization of funds
from sinking funds and grants received for undertaking capital works. Capital expenditure largely
comprises expenses incurred for creation of civic infrastructure and towards debt servicing (principal
repayments).
9.6.1 Capital Income

The major sources of capital income are:
Grants received from State Government for undertaking capital works

Loans raised from Financial Institutions
Transfers of revenue surplus from internal accruals
Utilization of funds from Sinking funds

From above table it can be clearly observed that the income is increasing every year with a very high
growth rate. The income of Gurh is driven by three main sources i.e. income from taxes (Property
tax, Water tax, Pilgrimage tax, Sewerage tax, conservancy tax) non taxes sources such as (Rental
from Municipal Properties, sale and other charge, fees) and the grant allocations received under
various central and state government schemes such as (Revenue Grants .Contribution and subsidies,
Interest earned and other income).

Key financial Indicators
9.7.1 Revenue Indicators

Own sources revenue to Total revenue: Higher the percentage of own sources better is
the financial health of the municipality and less dependent on the Government.
Taxes and non-taxes to own revenue: It is good to have own taxes revenue sources
increasing in trend which shows elasticity and increase of tax revenue in municipal
budget. Increase in non-tax sources indicate municipal services are charged and
increased as services consumption also increased. Therefore, both indicators are
independently monitored in municipal finance.
Capital revenue to Total revenue: This source of revenue indicates fund availability of
capital work as well as resources available from the higher level of government and
better credit worthiness of municipalities to access loan from market and financial
institutions.
9.7.2 Expenditure Indicators
9.8
Capital expenditure to total expenditure: More capital expenditure more development, more
asset creation, better infrastructure. This is a good indicator and shows good municipality. More
per capita capital expenditure better is the municipality and vice-versa.
Revenue expenditure to total expenditure: Less the revenue per capita expenditure, better is
the financial health of the municipality. It shows that the municipality does not have surplus
money for capital and infrastructure work and this is bad for the municipal finance.
Income, Expenditure and Surplus Deficit: Analysis
For the financial assessment, three year financial data pertaining to the years 2008-09 to 2010-11 have
been used. At present, Gurh follows a cash-based single entry accounting system, where income and
expenditure heads are maintained on a cash inflow and outflow basis. In order to gauge the correct
financial picture of Gurh, it is critical to recast accounts in a standard accounting format with
appropriate heads. Gurh accounts have, therefore, been recast appropriately. The financial assessment
is then done by looking at the annual growths of various components of income and expenditure, the
sect oral makeup of the finances, the extent of Gurhs dependence on the State and Central
government grants and reimbursements, the status of debt servicing, performance indicators and so
on.
In this exercise, all the revenues earned by Gurh from the taxes, fees, shared income etc. have been
treated as revenue income and the income from loans and revenue grants has been treated as a
capital income. Similarly, all expenses towards regular maintenance are treated as revenue expenses,
while expenses on any asset creation have been treated as capital expenses. The financial assessment
thus undertaken is discussed in the following sections.
9.8.1 Financial Status at a glance

The assessment of the income and expenditure statement of Gurh, at aggregate level reveals that from
all the years reviewed, in 2008-10 it shows buffer margin but in the year 2010-11 it turns into deficit
margin due to more Capital expenditure.

Graph 9-5: Status of Municipal Finance, Gurh

From the table of income and expenditure it can be analysed that there is a balance between income
and expenditure of Gurh. Only in the financial year 2010-11, there was more expenditure in comparison
of income. The analysis has been conducted, keeping in mind the limitation arising out of limited total
income in general, and internal revenue generation in particular. The spending pattern of Gurh suggests
a high spending, as compared to the total income, leaving a very small buffer margin. However, a buffer
margin is maintained as Closing Balance (CB) with a major help of grants & aids. Generating internal
resources is a must to sustain the development activities for a longer time.
Since the job of any Gurh happens to be a non-commercial one, its not expected and right to have a
much lower total expenditure as compared to the total income. The income is generated to fulfil the
requirements of society and community by spending as much as possible on the development front.
However, a buffer margin should always be kept for any contingency and emergency situation. This
buffer margin takes care of any unplanned project, which at times crops-up as urgent due to
uncertainties in the life. Hence, if the income is good then a relatively narrow buffer margin can also be
kept. Therefore its desirable to increase the spending by increasing the income first as higher income is
important for high spending.
9.8.2 Key issues and Conclusion
The key issues and conclusion drawn on the basis of above financial analysis are as follows:
The income and expenditure of Gurh runs neck to neck, which creates limitations.
The potential sources of internal revenue generation should be spruced-up and larger accruals
should be made.
Page 154
9.9
There is a need to properly account all the properties and tax them with adequate rates.
Income from Water Tax & Charges also needs to be augmented with increasing number of builtin area and increase in population and households.
The expenditure should be made proportionate to the internal revenue generation capacity of
Gurh
Revenue collection needs to be computerized so that data is clearly monitored and defaults can
be identified on a periodic basis. Computerization of the system which mainly includes three
things:
o Financial and account
o Workshop: Solid Waste management & Street lightening
o Technical Development: In Water supply, roads networking etc.
Revision of user charges, property tax collection.

Introduction of Asset Evaluation and Inventory Management System.
Preparation of Demand Collection Balance at ward level.
Funds for identified Towns/Cities would be released to the designated State Nodal Agency,
which in turn would leverage additional resources from the State Govt.
A revolving fund would be created to take care of operation and maintenance of various assets
created under the Mission.
Arrangement of well-equipped necessary systems for implementing reforms and improving
efficiency of Gurh, which may include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and
retrieval, etc.
e- Governance should be incorporated in grievance redressa

Presently there is no sewage disposal system in the city. The in-house sanitation is about 30% for the
city and is limited to many users. Therefore the future efforts should be made to have 100 percent
coverage on the sewerage sector to minimize the sanitation problem of the city. In this regards, the

feasible. To achieve this objective, State Governments, Urban Local Bodies and para-statal agencies will be
required to accept implementation of an agenda of reforms. The proposed reforms shall broadly fall into
two categories:-
Mandatory reforms
Optional reforms
All the mandatory and optional reforms shall be implemented by the State/ULB/Para-Statals within the
Scheme period.
11.2 Objectives of reforms:
Improvement of urban governance
To make ULBs financially sound
To enable ULBs to access market capital
To enable ULBs to undertake new programs and expand services
11.3 Need for reform initiatives

11.8 Issues
There have been no mandatory reforms laid down for the town.
The municipal staff lacks in adequate awareness of the reform agenda and technical advancement.
Page 188
The Nagar Parishad is not well equipped with the necessary systems for implementing reforms and
improving efficiency. Systems include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and
retrieval, etc. Most of the work happens in an ad-hoc manner without laid out procedures.
The Nagar Parishad needs to coordinate with Para-statals such as, Public Health Engineering
Department, Housing Board etc.
It has been found that while the local people have a lot of problems and they want to participate and
bring to the notice to the authorities for their problems, the absence of a proper grievance redressal
system has made it very difficult for the local.
Low Efficiency of service delivery in various aspects such as extent of collection of property tax and
other taxes, poor maintenance of roads, poor sanitary conditions, inappropriate solid waste
management practices, inadequate street light provision, etc.
Lack of data/Information Base which could help in the development of area.
11.9 Town Specific Strategies and Action Plan
Private Sector Participation in development, management and financing of Urban Infrastructure

would be clearly delineated.
Funds for identified Towns/Cities would be released to the designated State Nodal Agency, which in
turn would leverage additional resources from the State Govt.
A revolving fund would be created to take care of operation and maintenance of various assets
created under the Mission.
Some demonstration/ presentation should be started to awareness municipal staff about reform
agenda and reforms.
Arrangement of well-equipped necessary systems for implementing reforms and improving efficiency
of Nagar Parishad, which may include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and
retrieval, etc.
A well framed coordinate system between Nagar Parishad and Para-statals should be designed for
better management.
e- Governance should be incorporated in grievance redressal system.
A rich Data/Information base arrangement should be maintain to address the specific problems and
solution for the same.

12. Town Vision

12.1 Summary of Sectoral Strategies:
Water Supply:
Quantity of
supply to be
135
lpcd, Quality as
per standards
Provision of community
stand posts in all slum
areas, public
places, parks, temples
100 percent
population
coverage of
treated water
100 percent water supply coverage which includes the present as well as the future demand by 2035.
Quality and quantity should be ensured as per the standards for the future population. The coverage
of the water supply system can be enhanced by providing community taps or stand posts in all slum
areas, public places and in recreation areas.
Page 191

Waste Water Management:
100 percent
population
coverage by
sewerage
system
Provision of
community
toilet blocks
near public
places to
ensure
sanitation
Decentralised
waste water
treatment
Presently there is no sewage disposal system in the town or most of the households have their own
arrangements for the disposal. Therefore for future efforts should be made to have 100 percent coverage for
waste water to minimize the sanitation problem of the town. In this regards, the following steps can
considered:
Community toilet blocks should be provided near riverside, market places, in slum areas and core
town areas where there is limited scope of expansion of the dwelling units to have toilet in it.
Sewage treatment system for treatment of the sewage before disposal.
There should be government interventions in providing toilets in urban poor settlements, in which
the government can act as a facilitator or provider.
Page 192

Storm Drainage:
100 percent
coverage of
the city
Lining of all
natural
drains or
nalas
Covering of
all open
drains or
nalas
Flood control
measures in low
lying areas
Considering the present drainage system, the following goals would be set to minimize the adverse effect of
poor drainage system:
100 percent coverage of the town through proper drainage system by 2035.
Converting the kutcha nalas to pucca ones, covering of all open drains and lining of all natural drains
and nalas.
Encroachment on the low lying natural drainage channel should be minimized so that flow of water
will not be blocked.
Page 193

Solid Waste Management:
100 percent
coverage of
the city
Sanitary land
fill and virmicomposting
Provision of
of organic
sweepers, vehicles wastes
and equipment as
per standards
Treatment of solid
waste before
disposal
Present solid waste system is not covering all parts of the town. So the future direction for solid waste
management would be as follows:
Covering the whole part of the town including the present as well as the future developments.
Special care should be given to manage wastes that are generated on any auspicious days on river
beds.
Segregation of hazardous wastes like bio medical waste, bio degradable waste etc. and treatment of
solid waste before disposal.
Encourage participation of NGOs or CBOs in solid waste management.

safety for the places
residents as
well as the
tourists
Use of modern

Considering the present street lighting situation in the town, the future goals for 2035 would be:
Ensure 100 percent coverage in town to ensure safety and security for all the residents and the
tourists coming to the town.
Care should be given to provide street lights in public gathering spaces and recreation spaces like
lake, rivers, monuments and parks.
Use of modern power saving technology should be encouraged.
Page 195

Roads and Transportation:
Improve road and

rail connectivity
Improve
public bus
stand facility
Improve existing
road network in
terms of road
surfacing, geomet
rics and signals
Though there is opportunity for improved transportation system, there is lacking in the present road
networks and transport facilities. To improve the current situation and to address the future demand the
goals would be as follows:
Improvement of the existing road networks in terms of road geometry, road surfacing and traffic
signals etc.
For intra as well as inter-town movement public transport facilities should be improved.

As slum is a major problem in the town. So the follows steps can be taken to make the town slum free.
Encouraging slum improvement schemes like improvement of physical i.e water supply, drainage,
sanitation facilities as well as social infrastructure like education, health facilities in the slums.
Providing land ownership to the slum dwellers.
Involvement of NGOs should be encouraged for improvement of slums.
Community participation should be emphasized in any of the schemes launched by the govt. or
NGOs.

The future goals for the health facilities would be as follows:
Providing land for new hospitals, increase beds and no, of doctors in the existing hospital and health
care centres.
Specialized medical services should be facilitated in the town.
By providing proper health facilities in the town, health tourism can be promoted in the area which
will serve the region and generate economy for the town.

etc. to encourage tourism.
Promoting Town as a transit point for the surrounding tourism destination.
Facilitating infrastructure in terms of good connectivity, hotels and resorts to attract tourists.

For the economic up-liftment of the Town town, the following goals can be set:
As the town is surrounded by large chunk of agricultural land, therefore agricultural based
commercial activities should be encouraged for the economic development of the town.
Forest based activities like selling of forest products can be another way of development economy of
the people.
As Town has high potential for tourism development, so tourism related activities like hotel industry,
tourist transportation should be encourage to form a major source of income generation activity for
many people.
Page 201
12.2 Town Vision:

The vision for Town has been evolved as under:
To develop a commercial town which is economically vibrant, ecologically sustainable and environmentally
pleasing; a town which will meet the aspirations of the local residents as well as the tourists alike and is
manageable.
Economically
Vibrant
a
commercial
hub
Ecologically
Sustainable
Environmentally
Pleasing
In order to achieve the above vision, strategies have been suggested in the next chapter. Ultimately, these
strategies would be translated into tangible projects which would be viable and implementable.
12.3 Town Positioning:

Town has been positioned as a commercial hub by boosting local economy and at the same time also
showcasing various cultural as well as natural assets. This strategy has been adopted on account of the fact
that there is a great potential for Town to emerge as a commercial destination, given the fact that it has
excellent rail connectivity and rail infrastructure. At the same time, there are various natural assets such as
the forests, river and lake water and national parks nearby. This positioning of the town can give the town a
much needed boost for the local economy and lead to prosperity and economic vibrancy.
Page 202

The concept is illustrated in the diagram given below:

Lake

Commercial
Hub
Economic Rejuvenation:
Commercial Activities There are many agro based activities which are related to agricultural
produce. There is a need to boost this area by creating suitable structures so that more people find
gainful self-employment in these activities. For this, it is necessary that land be allotted for creating
facilities for manufacture, storage, display and sale of these products.
Tourism Related Activities The water bodies and other tourist attractions have not been
adequately developed. It is proposed that once these are developed in the form of tourist circuits,
with transportation linkages, boarding and lodging facilities and other related tourism infrastructure,
with adequate marketing and publicity, tourism could be promoted in this region. The water bodies
can also be an area for development of parks, boating and water sport activities. This can also have a
spin off in terms of forward and backward linkages and employment generation for the local
population.
Religious Activities The local temples and parks are held in great reverence by the local
population and regularly, festivals and functions are held. Therefore, proper developments of these
sites along with facilities for the piligrims are needed so as to cater to the local sentiments of the
people.
Infrastructure Development
There cannot be two opinions on the fact that the civic infrastructure of Town needs to be improved. The
strategy for this is to urgently undertake projects, as identified later in this chapter, so that the required
facilities and amenities area provided to the residents in a timely manner so that the basic quality of life can
be achieved.
Slum Improvement
Page 203

Slum improvement has to form a central part of town improvement. The strategy for improving the slums is
to upgrade them in-situ. There is a need to prepare a detailed plan for improving the slums and it is
suggested that tenure rights may be granted to the dwellers that do not have the title so that they are able
to upgrade their shelter on their own as there is no fear of eviction.
Governance and Reforms

For the local administration to implement all the projects under the town development plan in the first
instance and later, to maintain the new assets created thereby, it is necessary that the Nagar Parishad be
strengthened. Operations, particularly revenue collection needs to be computerized so that data is clearly
monitored and defaults can be identified on a periodic basis. This would help in proper resource
mobilization. Further, migration from a fund based or cash based system of accounting to a double entry
accounting mechanism is also a must. To do this at a later stage would be more time consuming and difficult.
Therefore, when the municipality is small, it is better to put the modern systems and computerization of
service delivery in place.

Introduction
its investment climate. Water supply is one of the key physical infrastructures required for the sustained
growth and development of a town. Gurh being a small town and located strategically has a good
potential for the future growth. Keeping in view the present and future requirement of the water
supply, it becomes imperative to think of and devise the best mechanism to augment the water supply
need and demand. The two rivers Bichhiya and Renuka are seasonal rivers which limits the scope of
tapping the surface water for the drinking water supply. The water supply system requires an
assessment be made of its coverage, quantity and quality, as also the demand supply gap. Finally, it can
be possible to come out with the requisite solution to the problem of water supply in current scenario
and innovation will be needed to augment the water supply to cater to the projected demand for water.

The water supply system in Gurh Nagar Parishad is
predominantly depending on ground water. The nine
tube wells scattered over various parts of the town are
the main source of piped supply of water. The installed
capacity of the overhead tanks is 3.25 mld and 1.25 in
ward no. 3 and 13 respectively. There are around 23
open wells and there are around 160 handpumps in the
town.
The quality of water drawn from river is fairly good.
There is no detectable odour & taste and the colour is
found to be turbid. The city encounters bit water
shortage during summers when Bichhiya and Renuka
River dries up and water table falls down. The current
ground water level is at the depth of 70 to 80 feets.
0-1 Over Head Tank in ward 13
The two rivers Bichiya and Renuka being seasonal rivers, water is not tapped for supply in the town.
Thus, we can see that Gurh is mainly dependant on the ground water for drinking water supply.

The present water distribution system includes water pipelines. There are 2 Over Head Tanks (OHT) in
Gurh with 3.25 lakh litre and 1.25 lakh litre capacity. Both are in good working condition. 1 hour daily
water is supplied in the connected wards no 3 and 13. Number of connections is 100. There is 6 public
i|Page
hand pum provided by the parishad. There are three water tankers in the Nagar Parishad. Ward no 15 is
served by water tanker during summer season.
To meet the present demand of water for town, water is
being supplied from dug well through pumps of
different capacity installed at nearby Bichhiya and
Renuka River. In addition, there are 5 Tube Wells is
distributed in various part of town through network
pipeline connected with the major pipeline. The ward
no. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have working water
supply network. The ward no. 1, 7, 14 and 15 dont have
any water supply network.
Thus, the town get majority of water supply directly
from these tube wells located in various part of town
without any treatment. The per capita supply is 1-2 Municipal water supply
estimated under the existing supply system which is
very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd.
Other Sources
In addition to the main sources, a significant volume of ground
water is also extracted through hand pumps and wells installed at
various locations. There are around 23 open wells. And there are
around 160 hand-pumps in the town. People mostly depend on
these sources of water as the water supply is not sufficient to cater
to the demand of the water wherever there is water supply line.
And some areas have no any water supply line in the town.
Figure 1-3 Handpump

The present water distribution system includes water pipelines system which is not sufficient. The water
distribution arrangement includes - two OHTs and hand pumps. The town get majority of water supply
through the network pipelines laid down in different part of the town. These network lines are linked
with main pipelines coming from the nine tube wells (located in various parts of the town). Water during
summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also supplied through Water
Tankers. Presently there are 2 Water Tankers with a capacity of 4500 liters with Nagar Parishad.

resource development results in poor sustainability of system. Urgent need for capacity building
at different levels in water supply sector.
Low Cost Water Treatment Option

includes Plain sedimentation, Slow Sand filtration, Rapid Sand filtration with Coagulation-flocculation
units as essential pretreatment units.

Rapid sand filters use relatively coarse sand and other granular media to remove particles and impurities
that have been trapped in a floc through the use of flocculation chemicals--typically salts of aluminum or
iron. Water and flocs flows through the filter medium under gravity or under pumped pressure and the
flocculated material are trapped in the sand matrix.
Mixing, flocculation and sedimentation processes are typical treatment stages that precede filtration.
Chemical additives, such as coagulants, are often used in conjunction with the filtration system.
A disinfection system (typically using chlorine or ozone) is commonly used following filtration. Rapid
sand filtration has very little effect on taste and smell and dissolved impurities of drinking water, unless
activated carbon is included in the filter medium.

DEWATS: Decentralized Wastewater Treatment

o
DEWATS applications are designed to be low-maintenance.
DEWATS affordable prices because all of the materials used for construction are locally available.
DEWATS applications provide treatment for both domestic and industrial sources
Systems can be designed to handle organic wastewater flows from 1-1000 m3 per day
DEWATS applications do not require sophisticated maintenance
DEWATS applications are designed with four basic technical treatment modules
Primary treatment: sedimentation and floatation
Secondary anaerobic treatment in fixed-bed reactors: baffled upstream reactors or anaerobic filters
Tertiary aerobic treatment in sub-surface flow filters
Tertiary aerobic treatment in polishing ponds
Pour flush single pit and twin pit toilet

The squatting slab can be sited a meter or two away from the pit, to which it drains
via a communication pipe. The squatting plate and pit cover are easier to construct
and are just as satisfactory.
To prevent smells rising from the pit a U-bend water seal can be incorporated; a
close-fitting squat-hole cover can do the job just as well. Raised footpads should be
cast into the slab on each side of the squat hole and the surface of the slab should
slope towards it.
Depending on the economy and requirement the single or twin pit latrine can be
adopted.
Septic Tanks
Septic tanks comprise of a sealed tank having both an inlet and an outlet into which
excreta are flushed from a conventional cistern flush toilet or a pour-flush toilet.
The solids undergo a process of anaerobic decomposition which results in the

production of water, gases, sludge and a layer of floating scum.
The use of this system has the requirement for an in-house connection of water supply
for the system to operate.
Properly designed and installed septic tanks can function for many years.
Annual inspection to determine sludge depth is desirable to prevent tank solids from
overflowing and sealing the soil in the drainfield.
Minimize the amount of grease from the kitchen and garbage disposal solids going into
septic tank.

SWOT Analysis: Solid Waste Management

STRENGTH
Availability of land for development of sanitary

land fill site specially in low lying areas of wards
1,7 and 14.
Enough biodegradable part is solid waste for

vermi composting and bio-gas generation plan
can be set up in wards 1,7,14 and 15.
OPPORTUNITY
WEAKNESS
Door-to-Door waste collection system
missing and low collection efficiency
that is 34% of the total solid waste
produced in the town.
Segregation of waste is not in practice,
neither at primary collection level nor
at final disposal level.
THREAT
Wards 1,3,5,7 and 14 are low lying flood prone

areas so there is a scope of sanitary land filling
strategy instead of simple dumping
Waste is being disposed off in low

lying areas along the rivers in wards
1,3,5 and 7.
Training and capacity building to encourage

people to adopt the techniques to minimize
existing flaws within the town.
Biodegradable waste generated in the town

generates a scope to construct the Bio-gas plants
specially in wards 2,3,7 and 12.
Location of the existing dumping site

in ward no. 13 near the residential and
commercial areas (wards 4,6,8.9.10)
along NH-75.
IMPROVED SANITARY LANDFILL METHOD
Sanitary landfill, method of controlled disposal of municipal solid waste (refuse) on land.
Waste is deposited in thin layers (up to 1 meter, or 3 feet) and promptly compacted by heavy machinery
(e.g., bulldozers); several layers are placed and compacted on top of each other to form a refuse cell (up
to 3 meters, or 10 feet, thick).
At the end of each day the compacted refuse cell is covered with a layer of compacted soil to prevent
odors and windblown debris.
When the landfill is completed, it is capped with a layer of clay or a synthetic liner in order to prevent
water from entering.
A final topsoil cover is placed, compacted, and graded, and various forms of vegetation may be planted
in order to reclaim otherwise useless lande.g., to fill to levels convenient for building parks or other
suitable public projects.

SWOT Analysis: Urban Poor

STRENGTH
There are substantial number of urban

poor who have land titles and houses
located in wards 2,3,5,7 and 9.
Lands are available specially near the slum

2,3,7 and 9 for the redevelopment or the
relocation of the slum into better habitat.
OPPORTUNITY

area generates opportunities for the slum
area rehabilitation programmes.
Cheap available lands specially in wards

1,7,14 and 15 can invites developers to
provide EWS and LIG housing development
in the town.
WEAKNESS
Slums are located in high density
residential areas like in wards 4,6,7,9,10
and 11 with poor housing and living
condition which is a constraint for the ununiform growth and development of the
town.
