1Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation

Introduction

The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviationis the apex authority of Government of India at thenational level for formulation of housing policy andprogramme, review of the implementation of theplan scheme, collection and dissemination of dataon housing, building materials/techniques and foradopting general measures for reduction of buildingcosts. In addition, it is entrusted withimplementation of the specific programmes of urbanemployment and urban poverty alleviation, includingprovision of basic amenities to the urban poor andsupport for establishment of micro-enterprises byskill development of the poor. In the federalstructure of the Indian polity, the matters pertainingto the housing and urban development have beenassigned by the Constitution of India to the StateGovernments. The Constitutional 74thAmendment Act has further delegated many ofthese functions to the urban local bodies. Althoughthese are essentially State subjects yet theGovernment of India plays a coordinating andmonitoring role and also supports theseprogrammes through Centrally sponsored schemes.

2. The Ministry also plays a nodal role inaddressing various issues of urban employment andpoverty alleviation and housing sector by formulatingpolicies, providing legislative guidance and throughsectoral programmes. The National Policy issues aredecided by this Ministry which allocates resourcesto the State Governments through variousCentrally sponsored schemes. In addition, thisMinistry is also supporting various externalassistance programmes for housing, urbanemployment and poverty alleviation in the countryas a whole.

3. The Ministry was carved out of the largerMinistry of Urban Development with a businessallocation that was fairly focused, being the

formulation of housing policy and programmes, theimplementation of specific programmes of UrbanEmployment (UE) and Urban Poverty Alleviation(UPA) and policy, planning and monitoring ofmatters related to human settlements and urbandevelopment including Slum Clearance Schemesand the Jhuggi and Jhompri Removal Schemes.

4. In the six years since this Ministry wasentrusted with this business, the Governmentsvision and policy towards urban development hasseen considerable change. The emphasis of the 11thPlan on inclusive and equitable growth has led to agreater urgency for municipal reforms andeffectiveness of the third tier, greater emphasis oncommunity participation and the implementationof the flagship programme of JNNURM with 40%of its considerable budget devoted to slumredevelopment and rehabilitation.

5. At the end of the 10th Five Year Plan, thehousing shortage was estimated to be 24.7 millionhousing units. An estimated 99% of this housingshortage pertains to households falling in theEconomically Weaker Sections (EWS) and LowIncome Group (LIG) segments. Further, urban areasin our country especially those inhabited by thepoor are characterized by severe constraints ofbasic services like potable water, drainage system,sewerage network, sanitary facilities, electricity,roads and effective solid waste disposal.

6. In order to mitigate the housing shortagealongwith deficiencies in basic services and inconsonance with the changing policy environment,the Ministry has announced the National Housingand Habitat Policy, 2007. This Policy focuses onaffordable housing for all with special emphasis oneconomically weaker sections of the society suchas SCs, STs, OBCs, Minorities, women-headed

households and the physically challenged. ThePolicy seeks to emphasize public sector partneringwith private sector and also cooperative sector, theemployees welfare housing sector, the industrial-cum-labour housing sector playing important role.

7. The Central Government seeks to play therole of an enabler and facilitator under the aegisof the National Urban Housing & Habitat Policy.

8. Recently, urban sector has witnessed majorchanges on account of our countrys transitiontowards market based economy and the spirit ofdecentralization which is embodied in theconstitution (74th Amendment Act, 1992). Inaddition, the role of urban sector in economicgrowth and poverty reduction has undergone majorchange. The need for public private partnership isnow widely appreciated. In order to cope withmassive problems that have emerged as a result ofrapid urban growth, it became imperative to drawup a strategy to implement projects in select citieson mission mode.

9. In this regard, Jawaharlal Nehru NationalUrban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) was launchedby the Prime Minister of India on 3rd December,2005 with an objective to provide focused attentionto integrated development of urban infrastructureand services in select 65 cities with emphasis onurban poor, slum improvement, community toilets/baths, etc. The Mission proposes reforms driven,fast track, planned development of identified citieswith focus on efficiency in urban infrastructure/services delivery mechanism, communityparticipation and accountability of Urban LocalBodies (ULBs) towards citizens.

10. The need for Sub-Mission on Basic Servicesto the Urban Poor (BSUP) under JNNURM arosebecause urbanisation in India is considered as animportant determinant of national economic growthand poverty reduction. As per 2001 populationcensus, the urban population of India was about

286 million representing 28 percent of the countrystotal population of 1029 million. Populationprojections for 2021 expect the urban populationto increase to about 473 million and by 2041 toabout 700 million. The NSS 61st round data revealsthat about 81 million of the urban population livedbelow the poverty line in 2004-05. The ratio ofurban to rural poor has gone up from 1:4.45 in 1993-94 to 1:2.73 in 2004-05. The ever increasingnumber of slum dwellers causes tremendouspressure on urban basic services and infrastructure.The supply of land for housing has failed to keeppace with increase in urban population resulting inlarge number of households without access to basicservices, poor housing and proliferation of slumsand widespread poverty.

11. The core objective of the Mission (JNNURM)is to achieve planned urban perspective frameworksfor a period of 20-25 years (with 5 yearly updates)indicating policies, programmes and strategies ofmeeting fund requirements of every identified city.It calls upon States/Cities to undertake fiscal, financialand institutional changes that are required to createshelter and basic civic amenities for the urban poor.

12. In addition, Ministry of Housing and UrbanPoverty Alleviation has formulated a new schemeof Integrated Housing and Slum DevelopmentProgramme (IHSDP) which is applicable to all citiesand towns as per 2001 census except those citieswhich are covered under mission cities underJNNURM. This scheme aims at combining theexisting schemes of VAMBAY and NSDP under thenew IHSDP scheme for having an integratedapproach in ameliorating the conditions of urbanslum dwellers who do not possess adequate shelterand reside in dilapidated conditions. Thecomponents for assistance under the scheme willinclude all slum improvement/upgradation/relocation projects including upgradation/newconstruction of houses and infrastructural facilitieslike water supply and sewerage. Allocation of fundsamong States will be on the basis of the States urban



slum population to total urban slum population inthe country.

13. The Ministry is achieving higher levels ofattainment in the implementation of theaforementioned Mission. Under the Scheme of BasicServices for the Urban Poor (BSUP) and theIntegrated Housing & Slum DevelopmentProgramme (IHSDP), the Government of India hassanctioned more than 15.40 lakh housing units withsupplementary basic services. Under the BSUPScheme, more than 477 Projects have beenapproved and under the IHSDP, over 966 Projectshave been approved. Additional Central Assistance(ACA) of Rs 9679.85 crores released (includingPMU, PIU and DPR charges). All Mission Cities havebeen covered under BSUP except Porbander andall States and UTs except small States of Goa andLakshadweep have been covered under IHSDP.

14. It is a vision of the Government to make thecountry slum-free as early as possible, by providingslum-dwellers basic services and access to decentshelter and creating conditions of urbandevelopment that contain the need for theemergence of slums. In order to achieve this vision,a new scheme called Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) hasbeen announced in June, 2009 and this Ministrybegan the process of formulation of Scheme - RajivAwas Yojana (RAY). This scheme aims at providingsupport to States that are willing to provideproperty rights to slum dwellers.

The Scheme proposes to address the problem ofslums in a holistic and definitive way adopting amulti-pronged approach focusing on bringingexisting slums within the formal system and enablingthem to avail of the same level of basic amenities asthe rest of the town; redressing the failures of the

Completed Dwelling Units under JnNURM (BSUP) at Visakhapatnam,Andhra Pradesh



formal system that lie behind the creation of slums;and tackling the shortages of urban land and housingthat keeps shelter out of reach of the urban poorand forces them to resort to extra-legal solutionsin a bid to retain their sources of livelihood andemployment.

15. Housing Start up Index (HSUI) isinternationally considered to be one of the leadingeconomic indicators. It captures the movement ofthe economy and reflects the phase of the businesscycle-boom or recession. Taking into account theimportance of HSUI for Indian economy, ReserveBank of India constituted a Technical AdvisoryGroup which has developed a methodology forcomputing HSUI and submitted its report on themethodology. The National Building Organization(NBO) has been identified as the institution tooperationalize the HSUI in this country. To calculateHSUI, huge data will be required as inputs;accordingly, NBO has released funds for setting upof HSUI Cell in selected cities/ towns forcoordinating the works relating to data collectionand submission required for generation of the Index.Guidelines for the computation of HSUI have beenprepared and were released on 3rd December, 2010on the JNNURM Day.

16. The 2nd Administrative Reforms Commissionrecommended more objective performancemonitoring of Ministries. In order to implement this,the Government of India now requires everydepartment to prepare a Results-FrameworkDocument (RFD). As a mandatory success indicatorin the RFD, every Ministries/ Departments has toprepare strategy paper as a perspective five-yearplan that sets out the confluence of thought of theministry on issues that fall under its businessallocation. Accordingly Ministry has finalized its RFDfor the year 2010 11 and strategy paper for thenext five year. Both the papers have been uploadedon the website of this Ministry (www.mhupa.gov.in).
