Executive Summary

I. Overview

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) is an ambitious programme of the

Government of India to bring about improvements in the existing urban service levels and urban

infrastructure in a financially sustainable manner. The primary objective of the programme is to create

economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities. The projects that qualify under this

scheme include sub-sectors of water supply, sewerage and sanitation, drainage, solid waste management,

traffic and transportation facilities, housing infrastructure and basic services for urban poor. Further, special

projects including urban transit systems, urban expressways, sea-links and other sectors of similar nature

would also be covered under this scheme. In order to access funds through the mission, the state

government and the cities seeking assistance require to sign-up to a set of reforms covering various areas of

urban management and good governance.

The City Development Plan (CDP) shall provide a comprehensive long term strategy (Vision 2035) as well as

a City Investment Plan (CIP), based on which the concerned ULB's can approach and be eligible to the

funding under GoI /GoMP schemes along with their own and other sources of finances based on priority

actions and projects identified in the CDP. The document shall also provide Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to

direct the ULBs for mobilizing various financial resources to implement the identified priority projects. The

scope of the services include all necessary steps formulated in JnNURM Toolkit 2, that would help to prepare

the CDP, such as Data Collection & Field Visits, Municipal Staff & all Stakeholders consultative meetings,

Sector Analysis, organizing necessary workshops for the successful completion of the CDP. The specific

objectives of the project are as follows;

• CDP would 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 to the citizens of the ULBs.

• CDP would aim to catalyze new thinking and provoke debate through a consultative stakeholder

driven process. The vision and strategic thrusts of the CDP would be built around the lessons and

findings of a comprehensive and rigorous stakeholder consultation and documentation process.

• It is expected that the CDP would serve the purpose and meet the requirements of 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

funds from diversified sources.

Government of Madhya Pradesh has taken up a huge task of preparation of CDPs for 293 towns and the

consultancy of preparation of reports has been awarded to various consultants and the Bhedaghat is one of

the towns out of the 7 towns assigned to Aarvee Associates.

II. Town Profile

Bhedaghat town is situated on the Eastern bank of the holy river Narmada. During all times in its history,

Bhedaghat formed a part of the adjoining regions viz. Tripuri during the ancient period, Garha during the

medieval times and Jabalpur after territory came within the control of Marathas and the British. As such,

during the respective periods, history of Bhedaghat coincided with the history of the territory concerned. As

a part of the settlement of Tripuri from proto-history to 14th Century A.D., Bhedaghat passed through the

chalcolithic age, age of the Epics and Puranas, the Mauryan age, age of the city-state, age of the Sungas,

the Kanvas, the Dattas, the Satavahanas, the Bodhis, the Senas, the shaka kshatrapas, the Guptas and their

feudatories and finally the mighty Kalachuri rulers of Tripuri. Archaeological remains of some of these ages

have been found at Bhedaghat.

During the medieval times, as a part of the Garha-Mandla Kingdom, Bhedaghat witnessed the rule of Gond

rulers for a period of 344 years from the rise of Kharji in 1440 A.D to arrest of Narhari Shah in 1784 A.D.

Thereafter during the Maratha rule, it was said that the village Bhedaghat was donated by Raghuji Bhonsala

to Mahant Hardeo Puri Gosain. Subsequently the village became a part of the British territory during whose

regime too the disciples of Hardeo puri continued to hold the village as a free grant for perpetuity subject to

the payment of a quitrent of Rs 5. It’s most famous sights are the Dhuandhar Falls, Marble Rocks and the

Chausath Yogini temple.

Bhedaghat is a town with Nagar Parishad status in Jabalpur district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India.

Geographically, it lies between 23°08′N 79°48′E Latitude,23.13°N 79.80°E Longitude. Bhedaghat is located

at 25 km from Jabalpur and 5 km eastern side on the National Highway 12A leading towards Bhopal-

Jabalpur. Due to meeting of 2 or more rivers, the name Bhed (two) Ghat – Bhedaghat has locally derived.

Due to physical barriers such as Narmada River on south east and hill area on north, the town is

predominantly developed in ribbon pattern along the main road connecting NH 12 A and Nagpur By-pass,

which is passing through the town.

The urban form of the town is predominantly guided by tourism spots and agriculture hinter land. The

PROJECT INTRODUCTION


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 15 of 92


CHAPTER 1: PROJECT INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Award and Introduction of Client

The Urbanization in Madhya Pradesh is at a faster rate, due to which Urban Local Bodies of the state are

experiencing hard challenges to facilitate the requirements of the growing population with limited technical

and financial resources. GoI as well as GoMP have initiated a number of programmes/schemes to meet the

growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery. The list of GoI schemes include: Urban

Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and

Slum Development Programme (IHSDP). On the other hand GoMP has initiated DFID funded MPUSP, which

links reforms with investment in infrastructure for the poor. In addition to the above there are several other

programmes that have been initiated by the GoI and GOMP.

Preparation of the CDP will take advantage of the Revised CDP preparation toolkit/Heritage cities toolkit

prepared by GoI under JNNURM and UADD/CMAMP guidelines. These toolkits shall provide guidance to the

formulation of a CDP based on the concept of a consultative strategic planning process.

Focus areas: Government of Madhya Pradesh is planning to improve the water supply system of the towns

by upgrading the prevailing systems. Hence, this CDP shall be focusing on water supply sector as one of the

key area in a comprehensive manner. The revenue generation (revenue from ULBs own sources specially

property tax etc.) and strategies for the enhancement of the same shall also be incorporated in the CDP.

Currently planning is only a discretionary function of ULBs in MP and there is a general lack of planning

culture even in the larger Corporations. The CDP's of four cities of MP (Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Ujjain),

included in JNNURM have been already prepared, along with the CDP's of 96 ULBs in the State. The lessons

learnt from these exercises need to be incorporated into the proposed CDPs. The CDP will be linked to the

overall spatial planning, policy framework of Master Plan and more importantly into the annual municipal

budgeting. Linking the investment plan of the CDP with the municipal budgets will be crucial in ensuring the

O&M and thus sustainability of the infrastructure assets created.

Preparation of the CDP shall include city development strategies, which are out comes of a structured

consultative process. The process will enable elected representatives, key staff of MC departments,

parastatal agencies and other institutions, policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial,

social and economic development of the concern cities. A City Development Plan (CDP) will present both a

vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULB’s strategic framework of sectoral plans

translated into actions that define on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to work

towards achieving their long-term vision for the next five years.

This project of “preparing the City Development Plan (CDP)” for Bhedaghat Parishad Area, Madhya

Pradesh has been entrusted to Aarvee Associates Architects Engineers & Consultants Pvt. Ltd

(Consultant) ,Hyderabad. The work is assigned through Commissioner, Urban Administration and

Development Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh (Client). The aim of this exercise is to

support various Cities/Urban Local Bodies of Madhya Pradesh with a comprehensive City Development Plan

(CDP) for their long term vision.

1.2 Project Brief, Scope & Objectives

The CDP shall provide a comprehensive long term strategy (Vision 2035) as well as a City Investment Plan

(CIP), based on which the concerned ULB's can approach and be eligible to the funding under GoI /GoMP

schemes along with their own and other sources of finances based on priority actions and projects identified

in the CDP. The document shall also provide Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilizing

various financial resources to implement the identified priority projects. The scope of the services include all

necessary steps formulated in JNNURM Toolkit 2, that would help to prepare the CDP, such as Data

Collection & Field Visits, Municipal Staff & all Stakeholders consultative meetings, Sector Analysis, organizing

necessary workshops for the successful completion of the CDP. The specific objectives of the project are as

follows;

• CDP would 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 to the citizens of the ULBs.

• CDP would aim to catalyze new thinking and provoke debate through a consultative stakeholder

driven process. The vision and strategic thrusts of the CDP would be built around the lessons and

findings of a comprehensive and rigorous stakeholder consultation and documentation process.

• It is expected that the CDP would serve the purpose and meet the requirements of 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

funds from diversified sources.

1.3 Methodology

The CDP is prepared through a participatory process, wherein the various stakeholders, citizens and the

concerned authorities play a major role in the formation of the vision for the future development of the city.

The planning process therefore has to be a consultative one, with stakeholders representing a varied

spectrum of qualification taking part in the discussions and dialogue leading to the formulation of a vision,

development of objectives, identification of priority sectors and projects. CDP is prepared as a multistage

exercise, mainly with the following Stages;


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 17 of 92


Stage 1: Mobilization and Inception

The Consultants with ULB support would organize a one day kick-off workshop to familiarize the

stakeholders with the purpose, process, and expected outcomes of the CDP and build confidence,

understanding and commitment to the CDP. The kick off workshop will help in deriving a consensus along

with the stakeholders firming the process and agreeing upon a structured programme to take the CDP

forward.

Stage 2: Assessment of Existing Situation

In this stage, interaction with various stakeholder groups (meetings, workshops, focus group discussions,

etc.) and review relevant publications, reports, GOs, resolutions, procedures, laws etc. to analyze the current

situation in each of the sector identified. In-depth analysis of the existing situation, covering the

demographic profile, economic profile, urban governance, Physical & Social infrastructure facilities, and

environmental aspects. Gap analysis and future needs will be calculated/identified at every sector level.

Stage 3: Development of City Vision and Sector Goals and Strategies

Based on the cities present scenario and SWOT analysis, the future city vision statement will be formulated.

Discussion will be initiated on strategies, priorities and major actions that may be required in the next five

years to move towards the vision 2035. To achieve the city vision, it is imperative to identify the necessary

goals and strategies for each sector.

Stage 4: Development of Strategies and Priority Actions

The strategies will be evaluated from the perspective of stakeholder’s contribution in achieving the vision

and sector goals. Criteria will be developed for prioritizing the strategies, programmes and projects in

consultation with the Steering Group. The priority actions will support the strategies to achieve the sector

goals.

Stage 5: Preparation of City Investment Plan (CIP) and Financial Operating Plan (FOP)

City Investment Plan (CIP) and Financial Operating Plan (FOP) are the key components in the entire process

of City Development Plan (CDP). Based on the availability of resources, logical sequencing of actions and

potential for immediate implementation, the Consultants will prepare a City Investment Plan (CIP) in

consultation with ULB that lays out the cost and revenue estimates of all priority projects in the next five

years. The preparation of the CIP is a reiterative process requiring adjustments to individual projects as well

as changes in scheduling to make the whole package work financially. The City Investment plan would be

supported with a Financial Operating Plan (FOP).

Stage 6: Draft City Development Plan (CDP)

The Draft CDP includes City Investment Plan (CIP), Financial Operating Plan (FOP), duly considering the

feedback from all the stakeholders and working groups.

CHAPTER 4: PHYSICAL PLANNING AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT

4.1 Spatial Growth Trends

Due to physical barriers such as Narmada River on south east and hill area on north, the town is

predominantly developed in ribbon pattern along the main road connecting NH 12A and Nagpur By-

pass, which is passing through the town.

The urban form of the town is predominantly guided by tourism spots and agriculture hinter land. The

overall development resembles completed development.

4.2 Spatial Distribution of Population

As per the latest statistics obtained from the ULB (Census 2011), the town is divided into 15 wards. The

ward wise population and household details are mentioned in the following table.

Page: Page 32 of 92


CHAPTER 5: TOWN INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure is the basic requirement of urban life and its adequacy and accessibility are two

important ingredients key contributors in the up-gradation and enrichment of quality of urban life which

is the primary objective of any planned development effort. The extent and the nature of problems

faced by different towns vary by size, geographical conditions & local natural resources, state/regional

differentials in the resource availability & the policies, resource base of local authorities and several

such factors directly or indirectly affecting the population of cities/towns.

Social amenities and infrastructure fall under the social welfare objectives of the urban development

programmes, as distinct from economic development objectives and especially in the context of the

rapidly developing liberalized and competitive economic scenario. These infrastructure facilities are

broadly classified into two aspects,

Physical Infrastructure Social Infrastructure

Water Supply Health

Sewerage & Sanitation Education

Solid Waste Management Recreational Facilities

Storm Water Drains Social security

Traffic & Transportation Housing

Street Lighting

5.1 Water Supply

5.1.1 Quality and Quantity of Water at Source

Bhedaghat is mainly dependent on Tube well source for water supply. At present there are 9 Tube wells

in the town which draws about 4.6 Lakh Liters per day. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and

distribution of water supply. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is

scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. Currently the demand for water in Bhedaghat is

approximately 0.89 MLD. The details are shown in the Table.

5.1.2 Quality and Quantity of Water in distribution System

The available data only indicates the total water storage capacities at town level. However, it does not

provide details on the quantity of water supplied at ward level. Thus, the analysis to understand the

services at ward level is difficult. Presently there is one ELSR’s available for water storage which covers

1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,14,15 Wards. The capacity of ELSR is 0.05 ML.

The total available storage capacity is 0.05 ML. As per the Census of India 2011, the population is

6,657. Assuming consumption of 135 LPCD, the total demand for water supply is 0.89 MLD. Assuming

the storage capacity required is 33 per cent of the total water supply is 0.29 ML. It is observed that the

current shortage of storage capacity is about 0.05 ML. The demand of water supply by the end of the

horizon period of CDP is about 1.66 MLD for which storage capacity of 0.54 ML is required by 2035.

Table 5.2 indicates the details of the ELSR and the wards covered. Map 5.1 indicates the water supply

5.1.3 Water Distribution Arrangement

The existing water distribution system in the town is very old and is connected at various places with

new pipelines. GI pipes with diameters ranging from 3.0 mm to 1.5 mm form majority of the water

supply network. Around 12 km of length of pipeline is laid for distribution system and it accounts to 40

per cent of the existing road length. The details of the water supply distribution system given in Table.

5.1.3 Internal Distribution Networks

The total number of household service connections is 270. There are no metered connections in the

town. These 33 hand pumps are catering to water supply. It is observed that commercial service

connections are very less (7).

The total number of water supply connections increased from 180 to 270 from past three years. The

details of service connections and growth rates are indicated in Table.

5.1.4 Coverage & Supply

The distribution network covers 50 per cent of the developed area. Water is supplied for a total of 4

hours per day during winter and 2 hours per day in summer. Bhedaghat has very infrequent and

interrupted water supply due to frequent and untimely power cut. The per capita supply works out to

70 lpcd. Thus, the current water supply system is severely dependent on electricity. The areas which

are not covered under supply network are located in ward number 2, 4 and 9.

As per the assessment of officials at Nagar Parishad, low pressure areas are located in six wards. The

details of the existing coverage & supply are indicated in the following Table.

Irrespective of supply from ELSR, every ward is getting the direct supply from remaining tube wells.

The assessment made by the officials at Nagar Parishad, Bhedaghat suggests that the distribution and

transmission losses are about 20 to 25 per cent.

5.1.5 Institutional Set-up

The O&M of the water supply system is taken care of by the Nagar Parishad, Bhedaghat. Currently,

both technical and non-technical duties related to water supply are discharged by 11 temporary

employees of Nagar Parishad. With the growing population, the demand for adequate services is

increasing and the role of the local body as a service provider calls for better performance.

5.1.6 Operation & Maintenance (O&M)

The sustainability of water supply system is assured only if local resources are generated for O&M by

the ULB. The systematic planning, expansion and maintenance requires dedicated planning approach.

Cost Recovery

Nagar Parishad collects a flat rate of Rs.30.00 per month per household for domestic connection and

Rs.120.00 for non-domestic connection. In small towns like Bhedaghat no user charges are collected

on pro-rata basis, the reason being absence of metered devices. None of the connections in Bhedaghat

are metered. The charge for new connection is Rs.1000; which includes road cutting charges as well.

Table 5.7 gives the details of the flat rate per month and the installation for new connection charges.

5.1.7 Present and Future Demand and Supply Gaps

The present per capita water supply is 70 LPCD. The future population growth calls for:

� Augmentation of water on a sustainable basis.

� Increase in storage capacity to meet the requirement of the growing population and increased

developed areas.

Considering a per capita supply of 135 LPCD the total domestic water demand will be 1.50 MLD by

2035. Adequate facilities for water storage, treatment and supply should be planned.

5.1.8 Water Supply Project

As on now, the town is not covered under any planned schemes/projects for Water supply system in

the town.

5.1.9 Comparative Analysis (Service Levels)

The water system in the town can be improved by efficient extension of the water supply network,

increase in the number of HSC’s, rehabilitation works, and efficient cost recovery plans. The existing

system is not adequate to meet the growing demand of the population. The current service levels are

indicated in the following Table.

5.2 Sewerage System

5.2.1 Existing Sewerage System

Hundred per cent network coverage for sewerage system is one of the high priority needs of any

developing town and taking up the same would present a major challenge to the implementation

capability of ULBs. Lack of Under Ground Sewerage system in Bhedaghat also leads to unhygienic

conditions in the town.

Sewage & Sullage Collection

The domestic waste water presently passes through the open drains along the road side. In areas not

served by any kind of drainage network, the waste water flows on the roads and in few places get

stagnated.

The area within the core area (old area) has lack of proper waste water disposal system. Thus, the waste

water is allowed to flow in open areas or vacant sites in these localities. The blocking of drains by the

presence of solid waste is the main cause for stagnation of waste water.

5.2.2 Household Latrines

Bhedaghat lacks adequate sanitary facilities. Only 25.16 % of Households have Access to Household

Latrines. Six out of ten houses have no latrine facilities indicating open defecation in the town. 2001

census indicates that 3.43 per cent of the census houses resort to pit latrine, a practice that has almost

become defunct in the modern cities. However, about 12.89 per cent of the HHs has water closets.

5.4 Solid Waste Management

Unorganised disposal of Solid waste affects major pollutants in a town resulting harmful health effects on

its residents. Urbanization has changed the composition of waste generated in larger towns and cities. It

is seen that the amount and kind of waste generated varies according to the income level. While most of

the residents are unaware of the health hazards, the contributors too are equally unaware of the effects

of pollution on the Town. These risks can be properly managed and their negative effects can be

minimized. Hence, there is a need for proper collection, storage, transportation and scientific disposal of

such waste by the respective local governments.

5.4.1 Quantity of Waste Generated

The quantity of solid waste generated in Bhedaghat has increased in the past few years due to the

growth of commercial and service activities. At present the solid waste generated at household level and

on the streets is collected from the dustbins and open dumping points. The regular collection is confined

to the main streets of the town. The details of the existing SWM system are detailed in the following

Table.

Table 5.15 : Solid Waste Details in Bhedaghat – 2011

Note: Nagar Parishad, Bhedaghat

The average solid waste generated in Bhedaghat town is about 2 Tons per day. The major source of

waste generation is the domestic waste. There is no hospital waste generated in the town.

5.4.2 Constituents of Municipal Waste

The various sources of solid waste generated are out of domestic and commercial usage. Out of the total

waste generated in Bhedaghat, around 60 per cent is domestic waste, 40 per cent is of commercial

waste. The domestic waste has both bio degradable and non-biodegradable components. Some of the

biodegradable components are vegetable waste, meat waste, poultry waste, leftover food particulates

etc. The non-biodegradable waste comprises of plastic, rubber, packaging materials, metal, batteries,

and construction waste.

5.4.3 Current practices of Solid Waste Management

At present open dumping is in practice. Door-to-door collection is in practice in 2 to 5 wards of the town.

The solid waste is dumped along the main roads & vacant lands. This type of open dumping will lead to

unhygienic conditions.

Page: Page 43 of 92


5.4.4 Segregation & Storage of Solid Waste

At present there are no standard practices followed for segregation and storage.

5.4.5 Primary and Secondary Collection

Both primary and secondary type of collection is practice in the town. In some areas, the solid waste is

collected from houses and is deposited at a predetermined location from where it is carried to dumping

site through trucks. There is no door-to-door collection system in the town.

As per the Nagar Parishad officials, approximately 1.6 tons of waste is collected per day which indicates a

collection performance of 80 per cent. The main roads are swept every day and the waste is deposited in

the containers, and is taken to dumping site. The shortfall in the collection process is due to the following

reasons:

• Solid Waste deposits in the storm water drains are left unattended.

• Improper dumping points and unscientific disposal methods like open dumping of waste on

roadsides, vacant sites, etc.

• Non-availability of adequate infrastructure in terms of number of tractors, dustbins, equipments,

etc.

• Improper collection methods.

5.4.6 Processing & Disposal of Waste

It is informed by the officials at Nagar Parishad that the dumping is done in panchavati (ward 1), balpara

(Ward 6) and chakital (ward 8). The following Table 5.16 indicates the existing transport & disposal

arrangements. Map 5.2 shows disposal location points.

5.4.7 Vehicles for Solid Waste collection and Transportation

The Nagar Parishad owns 1 tractor for disposal of solid waste. Capacity of each tractor is 1 Ton. Number

of trips per day per vehicle is two. The distance travelled by each tractor per day is around 3.5 km and

the weekly hour of operation is 8 hours. However lack of adequate infrastructure and manpower has led

to improper removal, transportation and operational efficiency.

5.4.8 Institutional Set-up

Solid Waste Management is enlisted in the state list and is the obligatory responsibility of the ULB

handled by the Health wing of each Nagar Parishad. The MSW rules 2000 puts forth detailed guidelines

for the entire process for handling solid waste management. The staffs for SWM include Environmental

Engineer, Health Officer, Health Inspector and field staff including drivers, cleaners & loaders. The

number of staff in the ULBs varies depending on the size of the ULB. The staffing pattern as provided by

the Nagar Parishad, Bhedaghat indicates that currently 4 employees of Nagar Parishad are discharging

the duties of Solid waste and Sanitation and additional 8 persons are employed for attending various

other duties. The details of the staff are indicated in the Table

5.4.9 Estimation of Waste Collection

Estimated waste generation in the town by the year 2035 is about 5 tons. Approximately 4.0 tons of

waste collection may be possible based on existing collection performance with some improvement in

management practices.

5.5 Drainage System

5.5.1 Existing Drainage System

The storm water drainage system in the town comprises of only tertiary drains. Due to the limitations in

the availability of data, the analysis is confined to the macro level. The storm water drains need to be

strengthened by separating the sanitation, sewerage and drainage aspects, which are currently

intermixed. Bhedaghat needs to develop with an adequate storm water drainage network in a scientific

manner, taking into consideration key parameters of precipitation intensity, catchment delineation,

percolation characteristics and surface run-off.

Primary & Secondary Drains: There is lack of primary and secondary drains in the town.

Map 5.3 shows Drainage network map.

5.5.2 Tertiary Drains

The tertiary drains are constructed on the roadside, built as open type or closed drains and some of them

are of unlined kutcha type. The total length of tertiary drains as per available data is 2.5 km. out of this,

pucca drains length is 1.5 km and remaining 1 km length is kutcha in nature. The total drain length

accounts to 10.5 per cent of total road length. Table 5.19 indicates the details of the type of storm water

drains in the town. The road –drain ratio works out to 1:0.10. In the other words, for every 1000 m road

length, 10 m drain length is available.

5.5.3 Flood-prone Areas or Environmentally Sensitive Areas

Environmentally sensitive areas in urban areas require prior attention as they are prone to pollution due

to the increasing demand for land for various development needs, issues related to generation of

biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes, sewage, etc. Thus, environmentally sensitive areas needs

protection from the likely ill-effects caused due to human interventions. These areas can also lead to

potential health hazards, if not properly protected. A buffer zone (conservation) of 100 meters requires to

be maintained, on either side of Narmda River passing through the Nagar Parishad and its influence area,

as no development Zone

5.6 Traffic & Transport

5.6.1 Existing Traffic & Transportation Scenario

Transport infrastructure plays a very significant role in the growth and development of any Town. It is

also responsible for the spatial growth of the town thereby increasing the accessibility of peripheral areas

of the town. The objective of studying the transport sector is to analyze the sustainability of the

prevailing transportation system and to further identify its strengths and weaknesses.

Parking is a major concern in Bhedaghat town, particularly at the major tourist attractions of the town.

Intensive commercialization has led to an increase in parking demand along the major roads, especially in

market areas. There is no designated on-street and off-street parking facilities in the core area of the

town as a result of which vehicle users are forced to park their vehicles on the streets. However at the

tourist locations, even though are facilitated by well-defined parking facilities which are managed by

Nagar Parishad, the same are not able to meet the prevailing parking demand.

Map 5.5: Map shows the road network in Bhedaghat

5.6.2 Travel Characteristics

The mobility needs of the town are largely catered by mini buses and standard buses including the IPT

mode such as auto rickshaws & jeeps. The use of personal vehicles i.e. Cars and two wheelers are also

predominantly observed. The town is lacking basic street furniture such as footpaths, street lights, traffic

signs, road markings etc. Absence of foot paths in the town is forcing pedestrians to use the carriageway

thereby hampering the traffic flow. The local commuting is predominantly by walk mode. The junctions

are not regulated by traffic signals and lack of traffic safety. Traffic safety measures are observed to be

non- existence which could be of significant use to guide the traffic and pedestrian movement.

Rail & Air connectivity

Bhedaghat town is well connected by rail and air connectivity with the nearest airport located in Jabalpur,

which is at a distance of 25 km from the town.


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 49 of 92


Road Network

Most of the roads in the town are of single lane configuration and few are having undivided two lane

configurations. The town is lacking organized road network and hierarchy which is evident in dense areas

of the town. The narrow lanes are leading to bottlenecks for the regular traffic movement and are also

inaccessible for emergency services such as ambulances and fire services.

5.6.3 Intermediate Public Transport System

The local commuting needs of the town are catered largely by IPT mode consisting of autorickshaws,

cars & jeep. Lack of adequate parking facilities has resulted in vehicles being parked along either sides of

the major roads of the town. The unregulated traffic movement and irregular parking of vehicles is

aggravating the problem of congestion and lack of pedestrian safety.

5.6.4 Parking Review

There is one organized off street parking facilities nearby Dhundhara water falls. Whereas on street

parking nearby booting and sawarathi ghat is not regulated. Bus bays, bus shelters are non- existence in

the town. The absence of organized parking is leading to congestion at all junctions, particularly at Rose

garden Junction.

5.6.5 SWOT Analysis

Strengths • Arterial road network is organized

• Major roads are BT roads and local

roads are of CC roads

Weaknesses • Organic form and congestion due to

encroachments in old town areas

• Laying of CC roads without laying utility service networks

• Absence of footpaths and medians • Lack of parking facilities

Opportunities

• Developing bypass road & truck terminals

• Availability of land for developing

bypass roads

Threats

• Lack of access to emergency facilities in residential areas

5.6.6 Service Adequacy and Key Issues

• The regional traffic passing through the town has put the pedestrian safety at stake. The interior

roads cut the State Highways at many points indicative of conflicting points.

• The roads widths are narrow in old areas which create problems to emergency services such as

ambulance and fire services.

• Foot paths are completely absent in all parts of the town. The pedestrian movement is displaced

hindering the traffic movement.


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 50 of 92


• The main roads carrying heavy traffic are interconnected by narrow streets; this sometimes leads

to choking of traffic flow. These streets are also used as shortcuts leading to loss of quietude in residential areas.

• Lack of organized parking for IPT modes.

5.7 Street lighting & fire fighting

5.7.1 Existing Situation of Street Lights

Almost all the streets in the town are covered with street lighting. The town is well developed with almost

85% of households having electricity connections. The remaining 15% of the households who are not

having connections are the squatter settlements. 10 to 12 hours of power cut a day.

Street lighting is an important component of Traffic safety and management. In Bhedaghat there are

about 416 street lights with different types of electrical fixtures.

5.8 Urban Poor and Their Accessibility to Basic Services

5.8.1 Introduction

The urban poor and slums are by-product of economic development and urbanisation process. As per

2001 population census, 285.35 million people reside in urban areas. It constitutes 27.8 per cent of the

total population of the country. In post-independence era while population of India has grown three

times, the urban population has grown five times. The rising urban population has also given rise to

increase in the number of urban poor. It is indispensable to analyse status of poverty for any Town

development exercise. Besides it becomes more important in the state like Madhya Pradesh where level

of poverty is relatively higher.

This section deals with the access of urban poor in Bhedaghat to basic services, drawing from secondary

information as well as site visits to slums in the town, and interaction with local residents. The aim is to

identify key issues in service delivery to the poor in Bhedaghat and suggest strategies that would enable

the Nagar Parishad, Bhedaghat to address issues and fulfill its mandate of providing basic services to the

poor in the town.

5.8.2 Poverty in the Town

The total slum ward population of Bhedaghat town is

2,244 which are 33.6 % of the population of total

town. The social composition of the majority of the

slums comprises of SC, ST and other backward

castes. The average household size in the slums is

5.5 and average household income is around 1500

per month.

As per IHSDP report the slums are located in ward 3,4,6,7 and 8. The ward wise slum population is

shown in the following table.

5.8.3 Information pertaining to BPL Population and Slum Population

There are mainly two different types of houses in Bhedaghat – characterized by type of their housing

condition. Predominantly, tiled roof houses are observed in entire city and wood and bamboo materials

used for housing in slums.

5.8.4 Present and Future Housing Demand

The information on housing scenario in slums is not available.

However, it was indicated that about 40 per cent of the slum

dwellers live in temporary shelters and during the

reconnaissance visits, it was observed that most of the houses

are constructed using brick, wood and bamboo materials.

5.9.1 Educational Facilities

The availability of skilled manpower for diversification of economic base in a town depends on the

provision of quality education. There are 4 primary schools in the town. In addition to the primary

schools, there are 2 other schools that are catering to the needs of secondary education. Students from

surrounding villages are dependent on Bhedaghat town for education purpose. The details of the existing

educational institutions are provided in Table.

The nearest engineering, and medical institutions are available at Jabalpur, which is at a distance of 25

km from the town.

A total of 4 primary schools, 2 secondary are required by the end of horizon period. Considering the

dependency of the surrounding rural areas, possibility of developing a Polytechnic college is factored into

the educational requirements of the town, though the population size of Bhedaghat is less.

5.9.2 Health Facilities

The town has one Dispensary with no beds, with an average of 2 persons visiting per day. The details of

The average monthly water tax demand per assessment in 2011-12 is Rs. 30 for domestic and Rs.120 for

commercial and is proposed/assumed to be revised to Rs. 90 Per month and Rs.150 per month for

domestic and commercial respectively beginning from 2012-13, at a conservative simple growth rate of

15 per cent per 3 years. The new water connection in 2011-12 is Rs.1000 and is proposed to be revised

to Rs.1200 and Rs.1500 from 2012-13 for domestic and commercial connections respectively, at a

conservative simple growth rate of 15 per cent per 3 years.

• Collection Efficiency

It is assumed that BNP would gradually increase its tax collection performance from 75 percent to 90

percent against arrears and current tax demand respectively.

Solid waste charge

• Number of Assessments

The ultimate number of assessments for solid waste charge is purely based on the property tax

assessments. It is assumed the total number of property tax assessments is the base for the collection of

revenue.


It is assumed that the average monthly solid waste charge demand is Rs. 25 per house hold for domestic

Rs.35 for commercial and it is also assumed that the rate will be revised for every three years at a

conservative growth rate of 15 per cent per every three years.


It is assumed that BNP would gradually increase its tax collection performance from 65 percent to 90

percent against arrears and current tax demand respectively.

Other Taxes

Other relatively insignificant taxes like Road tax, improved technology tax, Market fees, tourists tax etc.,

are forecast to grow at a nominal rate of 10-15% per cent per annum. These rates are assumed on the

basis of CAGR and Average annual growth (trend) rate, whichever is lower.

8.2 FINANCIAL OPERATING PLAN (FOP) - Introduction:

The Financial Operating Plan (FOP) is a multi-year forecast of finances of the Nagar Parishad. The FOP

has been generated for a short term period (0 to 3 yrs) beginning 2012-13 to 2014-15, and also for the

long-term period till 2035-36. In the context of this assignment, the FOP is generated for the short term

and has been extended for the long-term (20 years) to essentially provide a snapshot of the impact of

identified investments on the municipal finances in the long run.

8.2.1 Objective and Methodology:

The objective of this plan is to assess the investment sustenance capacity of the Nagar Parishad with

respect to the project cost identified in the Capital Investment Plan (CIP) as part of the City Development

Plan (CDP). FOPs are essentially a financial forecast, worked out on the basis of the realistic assumptions

and the growth trends of various components of given Revenue and Capital Receipts and expenditure.

The investment sustenance of the Bhedaghat Nagar Parishad is assessed using a Financial Operating Plan

(FOP) model. The FOP is a multi-year forecast of finances for a term till 2034-35.This analysis is first

done without introducing the identified capital investments in order to arrive at the borrowing and

investment capacities. The second step is to introduce certain reforms and consider necessary measures,

which is expected to improve the financial capability of the Nagar Parishad. The third step is the

sustainability will be checked with the reforms and without reforms. In simple, FOP is worked out under

three scenarios, viz.

a) Base Case; i.e. “Do Nothing” Scenario

b) Introduce reforms with no capital Investments; and

c) Investment Sustenance.


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 71 of 92


8.2.2 Assumptions and Reforms

The Analysis is based on a whole range of assumptions related to income and expenditure. These

assumptions plays a vital role to ascertain the investment sustenance and would also provide a tool to

test certain specific policy decisions regarding revenue and expenditure drivers on the overall Parishad

fiscal situation. It explains the assumption adopted for the three FOP scenarios:

8.2.2.1 Assumptions for Forecasting Income and Expenditure:

Generally, the assumptions for forecasting Nagar Parishad income and expenditure for the three

scenarios are considered based on past trends (5-year average growth trend or 5-year compound annual

growth rate - CAGR, whichever is lower), subject to minimum and maximum annual growth rate ceilings.

8.2.2.2 Municipal Taxes:

The primary tax sources, viz. property tax, water tax/charge are forecasted based on assumptions on the

base (number of assessments) and basis (tax demand per assessment) and the collection efficiencies. In

addition to the above taxes, provision is also made for estimating income from solid waste, subject to

implementation of the proposed scheme.

Property Tax


In case of property tax, the total number of property tax assessments in 2011-12 as per BNP (Bhedaghat

Nagar Parishad) records adopted as the base and the property tax assessments are 480. The number of

properties in BNP has increased from 480 to 1406 at a CAGR of 3.69 per cent during 2011-12 to 2035-36.

A nominal growth rate of 2.00 per cent (equivalent to forecast population growth rate of 2.73 per cent

during 2011-12 to 2035-36) is adopted for forecasting the number of property tax assessments.


The annual property tax demand per assessment in 2011-12 is Rs 200/- for pucca houses and is assumed

to be revised by 25 per cent beginning from 2012-13, at a conservative growth rate of 15 percent for

each three years. The presumed rate for analysis for domestic houses is Rs.250 and commercial is Rs.350

Per annum.


It is assumed that BNP would consider 60% and 65% in 2012-13 and gradually increase its tax collection

performance to 90 per cent against arrears and current tax demand respectively.

Water Tax/Charges

Page: Page 73 of 92


8.2.2.3 Non-Tax Sources

The non-tax sources of revenue income, viz. municipal own sources, compensation and assigned revenue

and revenue grants are forecast based on past trends. The establishment expenditure of BNP has grown

at a average CAGR of about 11 per cent during the last five years. The same growth rate 1-15% per

annum is assumed for forecasting establishment expenditure. The other expenditures are assumed based

on CAGR and average 5 year trend.

8.2.2.4 New O&M Cost

The capital investments envisaged as per the CIP are bound to impose additional establishment and O&M

expenditure on BNP. Such additional expenditure is estimated based on percentage of capital costs as

estimated by the consultants from their experience in other projects.

FINANCIAL OPERATING PLAN

Before moving to the various scenarios, it is necessary to discuss the details of the Capital Investment

Plan (CIP) and its application on the FOP. The next paragraphs detail on the same. For the purpose of

incorporating new investments, Let us discuss the below:

Phasing of new investments: The identified investments are phased into three; the first one, being

the short term is made for 3 years beginning 2012. The second phase is the mid-term and begins from

2016-2026, and the third one being the long term ends with 2035-36.This is based on the demand and

priorities. The following table gives the details of phasing of investments.

Amount Rs.(lakhs)


Total Amount (lakhs)


2012-2015 2015-2025 2025-2035

Water Supply (WS) 215.55 132.75 48.15 34.65

Sewerage 53.40 18.60 23.20 11.60

Sanitation 61.00 61.00 0 0








Urban Poor (UP) 415.00 115.00 112.50 187.50

Grand Total 3037.9 979.98 1000.22 1057.71

The Grant from the central and state government is considered as 80:10 and the Nagar Parishad will get

its contribution as Loan from outside institutions.


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 74 of 92


O&M Costs: The details of O&M costs for each sector have been worked out and the same has been

incorporated in the analysis. The annual growth rate of O&M cost is 8% per annum. The details of O&M

calculation:

Rs. In Lakhs

Loan calculations: The Grant mix between central and State Government (GoMP) is taken at a ratio of

80:10, while ULB contribution stays at 10% is considered as Loan taking from outside organization. The

following loan terms have been assumed.

The Principal and interest repayments for the Loan taken is

a) SCENARIO 1: Base Case; i.e. “Do Nothing” Scenario :

The financial operating plan, under the first scenario which is a ‘Do Nothing’ situation (without

introduction of new investments). The details of same can be seen here:

Rs.in Lakhs

Sr.No Particulars Rs.

1 Loan amount (Rs.) 304.29

2 Interest (%) 7.00%

3 Repayment period 15 years

4 Moratorium period 3 Years


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 75 of 92


It is to be noted that the above FOP is done without introducing any new investments. Since, it has

been observed that the TE/TR ratio is slowly decreasing from 2012-13 and reached 1.07 in the year

2017-18 and having a negative closing Balance of Rs.(1.03) Crores. By the end of the year 2035-36,

the TE/TR ratio is 0.84 and having a Positive closing balance of Rs.12.75 crores. Here, the negative

cash flows are recovered by the year 2026-27.The Computations of the base case scenario has given in

annexure.

b) Scenario 2 Introduce reforms with no capital Investments;

We are introducing reforms that are likely, rather necessary for the ULB to execute, in order to improve

their financial position. Certain assumptions have been made on this account, which are based on the

prevailing trends in various other places. However, based on the assumptions that are already

discussed above, this FOP is prepared.

Rs.in Lakhs

It is to be noted that the above FOP is done without introducing any new investments, but by

introducing some reforms with assumptions. The TE/TR ratio is more than “1” upto 2018-19. By the

end of the plan, in the year 2035-36, the TE/TR ratio is 0.81 and having a closing balance of Rs.19.43

crores. Here, the negative cash flows are recovered by the year 2022-23.

Scenario 3: Investment Sustenance Plan:

This scenario is done to test the strength of ULB after incorporating the new investments on scenario 2.

The same set of assumptions and reforms considered in Scenario 2 is assumed and considered here for

the purpose of Investment sustenance plan. The extract of FOP for few years is given below:

Rs.In Lakhs


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 76 of 92


It is to be noted that the above FOP is done by introducing new investments. Since, it has been

observed that the TE/TR ratio is more than “1” till 2025-26. By the end of the year 2034-35, the TE/TR

ratio is 0.89 and having a closing balance of Rs.1.70 crores. By implementing Investment plan, We can

observe that the negative surplus in the initial years can only be reckoned at the end of the plan period

i.e.2035-36. The Computations of the Investment plan scenario has been given in the annexure

Recommendations: The recommendation suggested therefore, is that the Nagar Parishad shall first introduce certain

management reforms and also certain management measures (not included in FOP) to start with, try

outsourcing activities, which will enhance revenues. It is advised after implementing measures, and then

the Nagar Parishad is better to move to the Capital Investment plan. i.e implementing the measures gives

rather cash flows than capital investment.

Suggested Measures:

The following measures are suggested to be implemented by the management of Nagar Parishad, which

is helpful for the improvements in managing the municipal activities. A few are given below:

� Improvement to Property tax collections- Have tie-ups with nationalized banks and open ‘E-SEVA’ centers

(like in Andhra Pradesh at Vijayawada Municipal Corporation) for collection of property tax, so that

payments become easier and will improve collection efficiency.

� Do Campaigns within the community to explain the benefits of payment of taxes

� Address Government to expedite in resolving court cases, if any, the books of the municipality.

� We suggest to Impose penalties on unauthorized connections

� As a final step and a more technologically advanced step, it is suggested that the ULB goes in for GIS

mapping of the entire properties, which will help in bringing all properties into tax net. This needs to be

updated periodically. A separate cell in the Municipal Administration is to be maintained in this regard.

� Automatic revision of property tax rates and other taxes once in 3 years shall be made mandatory.

On the expenditure side minimal reforms are helpful to reduce manpower and operational expenditure

can be attempted such as:

� Introduce machinery for water supply like for pumping etc., and there by the Human resource cost for

the new investment can be reduced.

� Outsource of solid waste management activities involving primary and secondary collection; there are

possibilities where, even the vehicles purchases can be invested by the operator.

� Similarly, maintenance of street lights can be outsourced to ESCO (Energy Saving Companies

� Periodical maintenance of pumps, etc. can prevent huge O&M expenditure and this also can be

outsourced.

CHAPTER 9: URBAN REFORMS

The Reforms under JnNURM aim at strengthening urban governments and to decentralize and devolve

functions, finances and functionaries to them so as to enable them to function as self-governing

institutions providing services efficiently and effectively. Broadly, the reforms aim to:

• Provide for an integrated governance framework with transparency and clear lines of

authority and accountability to achieve the objectives of ‘good urban governance’;

• Facilitate and promote inclusiveness, civic engagement and effective participation of the civil

society in city management;

• Contribute towards financial sustainability of cities - strengthen the financial base of the cities

and make them bankable;

• Enable the cities to work towards planned and integrated provision and operation and

maintenance of infrastructure;

• Develop partnerships with public, private and other sectors for better provision and delivery

of services;

• Extend the canvas of IT and e–Governance to all aspects of city management for efficient,

effective and timely service delivery; and

• Promote pro-poor urban governance and work towards slum free cities with universal,

adequate and affordable housing and basic services;

• Ensure renewal and revival of inner cities;

• Contribute to municipal capacity enhancement.

Implementation of Reforms Implementation of governance reforms is central to JnNURM. These reforms address issues of urban

governance and urban poverty in a sustainable manner. In what follows, an overview of mandatory and

10.1 Purpose and Importance of the workshop

Developing a Vision for the City is essential for the preparation of the City Development Plan (CDP). A

Vision is a statement of where the City/Town wishes to grow, within a given time frame, and is often

expressed in terms of clear expectations. It defines the potential of the city and reflects its unique

attributes in terms of comparative and competitive advantages, values and preferences of the city

residents, relationship of the city to state, national and global economies and of course, the history and

physical characteristics of the city. A vision aligns stakeholders’ energies to work cohesively for the

development of the city. Cities need to systematically consider the future requirements, and design Vision

statement to address the shape of the future for the horizon year.

The main purpose of Stakeholders Workshop is to formulate and develop City Vision and Sector goals and

strategies for Bhedaghat Parishad. The CDP shall reflect the priorities and concerns of the public at city

CHAPTER 11: CITY VISION

Introduction

The city development plan is a statement of objectives, policies and standards upon which the physical

economic and social development of the Nagar Parishad are based. The city development plan is based

on proposed broad land use plan (Master plan) showing the existing and proposed locations and intensity

of land development for specific uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and

educational uses. The future of the community lies in the vision of the city development plan, so it is

crucial that the city development plan be well thought out and carefully written with the needs of the

community at the forefront, with the continuous involvement of various stakeholders and general public.

Developing a vision statement should be the first step when preparing or writing a city development plan,

a well-crafted statement will tie the rest of the plan together.

Vision statement

Promoting Bhedaghat, known for its rich natural resource “Marble Rocks” with enchanting beauty of

glittering Dhuandhar falls, as a “Ultimate Tourist Destination” in Jabalpur Region facilitating

adequate Physical and Social infrastructure including augmentation of accommodation.

11.1 Public Opinion on Existing Infrastructure Facilities and Services in Bhedaghat

Figure 11.1 Shows the rating of quality of existing infrastructure services

As shown in the above figure – The blue color stretch represents “good”, red color represents

“satisfactory” and Green color represents the “not satisfactory” opinions of the people. Even though some

of the facilities represent major portion as satisfactory at present, the service levels would become largely

deficient in the coming years. The CDP aims at evaluating and providing satisfactory service levels for the

year 2035.

11.2 Public opinion on prioritizing the proposed list of developments

Based on the priorities given by the Stakeholders in the Questionnaires, the following ranking for various

proposed developments are identified. The following table provides the prioritization for various

developments.

Table 11.1: shows the prioritization for various developments.

Type of Development Priority New Water Treatment Plant and Supply system 1 Tourism Development 2 Re-design of all open drains 3 Encourage small scale industries 4 Public Transportation Facility 5 Proper collection, segregation and disposal of solid waste 6 Housing schemes for Economically weaker sections 7 City level Recreational Activity Park 8 Provision of Children Parks and Film Theatres 9 Self-Employment schemes from government 10 Allotment of Houses for Retired people through a share based scheme 11 New Market center providing spaces to all types of commodity Providers 12 Re-Design of Bus Stand Space 13 City beautification 14

From the above table it is observed that the first and foremost priority in town which needs immediate

attention is provision of better and sustainable source for water supply system. The provision of housing

schemes for economically weaker sections, Encouraging setting up of small scale industries, re-design of

open drains, job training Programmes, public transportation facility, better garbage disposal, and

provision of children parks and theatres would be the priorities to form a lively and healthy living city. The

developmental aspects like water supply, drainage, garbage etc., leads to healthy environmental

Condition in the town and also helps in improving quality of the life in the town.

Proposal for Bridge connecting Bhedaghat and New Bhedaghat

There was a special request from participates in the workshop for a Bridge across the Narmada river,

which connects Bhedaghat and New Bhedaghat, which will reduces a distance of 40 kms (appox.) to

reach Jabalpur city as shown in the Map no.9.1

Vision statement


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 89 of 92


The city development plan is a statement of objectives, policies and standards upon which the physical

economic and social development of the Nagar Parishad are based. The city development plan is based

on proposed broad land use plan (Master plan) showing the existing and proposed locations and intensity

of land development for specific uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and

educational uses. The future of the community lies in the vision of the city development plan, so it is

crucial that the city development plan be well thought out and carefully written with the needs of the

community at the forefront, with the continuous involvement of various stakeholders and general public.

Developing a vision statement should be the first step when preparing or writing a city development plan,

a well-crafted statement will tie the rest of the plan together.

Essential elements of the vision

Because a vision statement will eventually be incorporated into the city development plan, it is essential

that the community identity or unique resources are identified, so that they are preserved through the

development process. Such categories may include, but are not limited to environmental resources such

as streams, mature woodlands, and agricultural resources historic cultural and scenic resources such as

parks and recreation areas and non-renewable resources of economic value such as sand, gravel, land,

mineral deposits. The vision statement in the city development plan must be specific to be effective. The

community should be proactive with its vision statement.

VISION STATEMENT: Developing Bhedaghat as Tourism Destination (2035)

11.3 Planning, developing and managing urban growth in Municipal area

By the year 2035, municipal area would have well planned development with economically productive and

environmentally sustainable aspects of growth. The development area will be well planned and balanced

with a focus on basic Infrastructure development, also planning for slum rehabilitation. High Quality

services such as water supply, sanitation, waste management, street lighting, health, housing and public

transport will be available to all. Development area will be governed by participatory, responsive and

people-oriented local government.

11.4 Sectoral strategy framework

The overall vision for the town and the Prioritization of the key sectors paved the way to formulate sector

specific vision and strategies. This sector specific approach with year wise strategies will be instrumental

in framing the action plan/ implementation plan. The sector specific reforms and investments are an

integral part of the year wise strategies and would be dealt in CIP section of the CDP.

I. Tourism

At present on an average, 1352 tourists visit Bhedaghat per day out. Provision of tourism Infrastructure

like approach Roads, Public Transport Facilities and parking facilities, Public Convenience, Shopping


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 90 of 92


Complex and Solid Waste Management. Tourism Kiosk centers and Museum at tourism places for

information to the tourists. Exploring avenues to increase the tourism circuit from 1 day to 2 days

Vision

“Vision is to develop Bhedaghat as a tourism destination (2035)”

II. Water Supply

At present there are 9 Tube wells in the town which draws about 4.6 Lakh Liters per day. The needed

supply of water for the year 2035 would almost 1.66 MLD.

Vision

“Vision is to provide adequate and clean water in an equitable, efficient and sustainable manner”.

III. Sewerage

Analysis from the sewerage sector reveals that sewerage network coverage and maintenance is very low.

The entire town has open drainage system. The poor and slum dwellers lack safe sanitation facilities and

hence are prone to health related diseases. There is also no storm water drains available for the town

Vision

“Vision is to create a healthy community by providing high quality sewerage and storm drain services

based on the principles of quality, equity, value and responsiveness”.

IV. Solid Waste Management

The local governments should effectively involve in efficiently collecting and disposing of solid waste,

encourage people to practice segregation of solid waste at source.

V. Development of open spaces

Small open spaces and vacant areas are available in the Town which could be used as public parks.

Developing the recreational spaces with adequate green coverage would bring lot of relief to the

inhabitants.

Vision

Vision is to create healthy community environment by development of open spaces and recreational

spaces with Public Private Partnership (PPP).


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 91 of 92


VI. Effective management of urban land

As most of the development is confined to only core area, there is lot of vacant urban land available that

can be effectively used for future development in town. The management of these land parcels must be

through efficient land use plan and with flexible land use zoning regulations.

Vision

“Vision is to prepare an efficient land use plan with optimum utilization of land for present and future

needs and implement the plan in an effective manner.”

VII. Urban Poverty

With about 37% population of the town living in slums and 4.5 % households are accounting as BPL,

urban poverty is a major issue before the town management.

Vision

“The vision is to uplift the quality of life and to place the town slum free as possible by 2035”

The goals formulated to achieve the vision are:

� Access to qualitative and affordable basic services, 100 % literacy

� Universal access to primary health care and no one should die of preventable diseases

� Ensure livelihood to all urban poor, Tenurial security and Affordable Housing

� Provision of land tenure security, Community empowerment

� Linking livelihoods to town’s economy

� Development of housing through partnerships – PPP

� Relocation of slums located in hazardous and vulnerable Areas

� Provision of basic infrastructure – both physical (water, roads, sanitation and sewerage) and

social infrastructure (clinics, schools, training facilities, etc).

11.5 Conclusion: Brief strategies, actions and projects for the city

Urban Planning & Growth Management

The key issues emerging out of planning and growth management is that in-spite of not having master

plan for Bhedaghat town, its lacks in implementation and managing the development in an organized

fashion, which is leading to unplanned haphazard development. Absence of strategic project

implementation mechanism and inadequate financial resources to implement the schemes, lack of private

sector community participation in development process were identified as the existing challenges before

the city Managers.

The CDP process has undergone extensive dialogue with the technical people and public opinion in

prioritizing the key sectors for investments and reform initiatives. The following are the top prioritized

proposals which may guide, facilitate the Town to have a sustainable infrastructure and satisfactory living

conditions with enhanced quality of life.

Heritage and Tourism

CHAPTER 1: General Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Tourism is one of the fastest growing non – polluting industries and has been recognized as an economic

activity of great importance. The benefits of the industry in terms of employment and income multiplier

effects have a significant impact on the development of the city. When compared with the IT industry, which

is presently considered as the most promising industry for economic development of any town / city, one

can see that tourism industry has performed better globally. The Indian government, to boost tourism of

various kinds in India, has set up the ministry of tourism and culture. This ministry recently launched a

campaign called “Incredible India !” to encourage different types of tourism. As a result we could see a lot of

growth in national and international tourists.

1.2 Need for the study

Bhedaghat is one of the major tourism centers in the State of Madhya Pradesh. Bhedaghat is known for its

recreational and historical monuments. A major attraction for the tourists is the “Narmada River”. Bhedaghat

is going to witness a tremendous boom in the tourist’s arrivals, being located close to Jabalpur (25 kms) it

has the potential to attract visitors. With the large number of site seeing places existing within and around

Bhedaghat, it offers an example for the planning and intensive development of tourists infrastructure like

Transport, accommodation, eating places, shopping facilities, parks, playground, cultural and entertainment

facilities and amenities like water supply, drainage, solid waste disposal,. etc. within the framework of

architectural and design controls

1.3 Objectives

• To study existing tourism and heritage characteristics and their behavioural pattern.

• To identify tourism resources and infrastructure and impact of tourism on development of city.

• To establish the gaps between the existing supply and demand of tourism infrastructure.

• To identify major heritage buildings and tourism spots within development area.

• To identify policies, issues and strategies in development of city

1.4 Scope

• The study would analysis the present tourism and heritage scenario. This would involve assessing

the tourism inflows and income generated.

• The study also let us to profile the existing level of facilities being offered to tourists. These facilities

could be in terms of accommodation facilities, transportation, communication and other facilities.

• The study would analysis the impact of tourism on the town.

• The study would identify main issues in development of tourism and heritage in Bhedaghat town

Bhedaghat has a special scenic, recreational and historical value. Its ecology entails some of the following

elements:

• Places of religious Importance

• Places of Historic and archeological Importance

• Excellent Trekking Destination

• Good Picnic Spots

CHAPTER 2: CONCEPTS


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 5 of 34


CHAPTER 2: Concepts

2.1 Definition and Concept of Tourism

Conceptually, Tourism as defined by the Department of Tourism, New Delhi is the sum of the phenomena

and relationships arising from the travel from the travel and the stay of non -residents in so far as they do

not lead to a permanent residence and are not connected with any activity. Broadly the concept of tourism

as characterized by the Department of tourism is:

• A movement of people to various destinations and has two components - the Journey and the stay -

both of which take place outside the normal area of residence and work.

• The movement is of a temporary nature and for a short duration which distinguishes it from

migration.

• It gives rise to activities at destination which are distinct from those of the resident population of the

place visited.

• The main motive for participation in tourism is largely recreation and visit is made for purpose other

than seeking permanent residence or employment remuneration from within the place visited.

Tourism, in pure sense is essentially a pleasure activity and involves a discretionary use of freely disposable

incomes and of free time. (Bhatia, 1978).

2.2 Types of tourism

• Ethnic Tourism To see the quaint customs of remote groups.

• Cultural Tourism To visit and have links with rural societies.

• Historical Tourism To visit museums, cathedrals and great heritage sites.

• Environmental Tourism For higher incomes elite to visit every remote environment.

• Recreational Tourism Mass-holiday-recreational tourism.

The two forms of Tourism include

1. Domestic

2. International Tourism

2.3 Components of Tourism infrastructure

For development of Tourism in a city certain type of tourism infrastructure is required. The various

components of Tourism infrastructure include:


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 6 of 34


� Transport

The linkages of a city with rest of the country through Road, Rail and Air plays an important role in

making the Tourist city accessible, and therefore is an important necessity especially for attracting

foreign tourists. The local mode of transportation according to the convenience and paying capacity

of each individual or group of tourists should be available for visiting various sites in and around the

city.

� Accommodations

Simultaneously with the changes in the modes of transport and patterns of tourist traffic, various

new types of accommodations have emerged. The traditional serviced form of accommodation

provided in commercial establishments like hotels, motels, boarding houses, holiday camps etc. have

made way for the more flexible and functional forms such as rented apartments, self-contained

motels and condominium.

� Public utilities and services

To support accommodation facilities in a city there should also be certain other supporting services

present in a city. These services include water supply, drainage, solid waste disposal and public

conveniences. Besides these basic medical and Health facilities also constitute an important

component of the Tourism Infrastructure

� Entertainment and Recreational facilities

Presence of some historical sites in a city fail to attract tourists for a longer duration of stay,

therefore provision of Recreational facilities and some entertainment in form of evening cultural

shows is very essential. Some auxiliary facilities tend to support rather than induce growth. These

include a variety of shops and other establishments, some of which are oriented especially to the

tourists but largely serve the residents of the area. Dealers in sports goods, food stores, restaurants,

chemists, bank fall under this category. The supporting industries, usually small business, provide

many other facilities for tourists.

These comprise souvenir or duty free shops (for goods), laundries and guides (for services)

and festival areas and recreational facilities (for activities).

2.4 Impact of Tourism on a City

The concern for environment has resulted in a very wide definition of the term environment which includes

not merely the elements of natural environment - land, air, water, fauna and flora - but also covers social

and cultural aspects of people lives. Both the natural and manmade environments constitute the basic

resources for tourism for studying the physical, economic and socio cultural impacts of Tourism.


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 7 of 34


1. Economic impact of Tourism

The economic role of tourism is not restricted to the effects produced by International Tourism alone.

The benefits to the national economies from the spin - off from Tourism and its importance in national

economy are universally recognized. The impact of Tourism is also seen in terms of balance of

payments, employment generation and income multiplier effect and contribution to the Gross Domestic

Product.

2. Socio - Cultural impact of Tourism

Planned in proper manner tourism undoubtedly provides positive socio-cultural advantage. They are:

• Tourism constitutes a method of developing and promoting certain traditional arts and crafts of a region

where these activities are on decline.

• Tourism accentuates the values of a society and facilitates social mobility. The result is broadening in the

outlook of both Participants and inhabitants of the region visited. The negative impacts of tourism on the

social and cultural environment may transform local social habits by disturbing the basic and long

established values and behavior of the host population. The “co-existence” of tourists and the resident

population often leads to social tension and transformation of social values.

3. Physical impacts

The natural environment of the region is a great attraction for the tourists. A high quality of

environment is thus essential for tourism on the other hand; the quality of environment is, threatened

by tourism development itself which is promoted because of its economic importance. Four major

sources of ‘environmental stress’ due to tourist generated activities.

• The replacement of a natural environment by a new built environment has a variety of far - reaching

and long lasting results in terms of existing biological species and physical conditions in the area. It may

also cause significant changes in visual amenity.

• The second area of stress results from generation of new or increased waste residual. It creates water

pollution through the discharge of inadequately treated effluents and sewage into water bodies.

• The third important environmental impact concerns the recreational activities. The effect of these

activities includes soil compassion and erosion, change in plant cover and species diversity.

• A fourth associated area of stress is the effect of tourist development on seasonal population increases

densities resulting in physical congestion in many areas. Seasonal influxes also increase demand for

natural resources.

Page: Page 8 of 34


4. Symbiotic relationship

Tourism has been responsible for inculcating environmental appreciation. An attractive environment is

the very basis of the Tourism industry and the conservation of scenic areas, besides historical and

cultural heritage, is of the utmost significance for its success. Tourism not only promotes conservation

but also provides the economic means by which such measures can be taken. The maintenance and

repairs of a large number of historical buildings and other attractions are due to tourism money. In the

context of tourism development, conservation has been of four kinds.

• Tourism has provided the incentive and stimulus for the conservation of natural resources like

establishment of national parks and protection of threatened diverse species of wild auxiliary tourist

services, provision of infrastructure facilities etc. which are secondary effects of conservation.

• Tourism has led to restoration and regeneration of several sites of historical and cultural interest. The

major tourists’ assets of the area- have been restored and rejuvenated mainly because of the stimulus

provided by tourism.

Tourism has been solely responsible for the transformation of old buildings and Sites by retaining their

original features and putting them to better use for tourism facilities

CHAPTER 3: HERITAGE AND

TOURISM - BEDHAGHAT


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 9 of 34


CHAPTER 3: Heritage and Tourism - Bedhaghat

3.1 City historical importance: An entrancing dream land of nature

Bhedaghat is a Nagar Parishad situated on the bank of the river Narmada in the tashil and district of

Jabalpur,at a distance of about 25 kms from Jabalpur city by road. On map its location is 2308'N, 78048'E;

MSL 408mts the nearest railway station is at a distance of about 5 kms Bhedaghat on the main line of

western central railway connecting Jabalpur and Itarsi on the Mumbai-Howrah via Allahabad main line. The

nearest airport is Jabalpur which is connected by air with Delhi, soaring in glittering splendor, the marble

rocks at Bhedaghat is known all over the world for its scenic beauty. The site has the attention of the people

during all phases of Indian history as is evidenced by number of archaeological remains located in the

village.

3.2 Marble Rocks and Waterfall on the Narmada The river Narmada, the longest of east-west flowing rivers of India, the traditional boundary line dividing the

north and south of the country culturally, rises from the Amarkantak hills of Vindhyan mountains of the

northern fringe of the Deccan peninsula. After flowing past for about 327 km from its source at Amarkantak,

the Narmada enters into the marble country of Bhedaghat. Here the river pent up into a third of its width,

for a space of about 3.22 kmts, forces its way through the mighty and majestic marble rocks of over 32 mts

in height. The scenic beauty it produces has perhaps no parallel in the world not even the famous river

Colorado, which flow through the American desert of the Arizona with its lofty banks can complete it either

in splendor or in quiet. The perpendicular marble rocks, which fringe the crystal clear placid waters, are

dazzlingly bright against the vast blue of the sky. Beneath the snow white pinnacle the reflected sunlight

loses its brilliance and gradually mellows in to softer shade as a doves breast. Further below, it almost melts

into rippling waves, quivering and dancing under the glaring sun. These magnificent marble rocks are not

evenly shaded with only one color of pure white: here and there the brilliant whiteness is tinted with veins of

blue, pink and azure of celestial rainbow. On the moon light, when the whole scratch of water is transformed

into a sheet of liquid silver and when the whole area is nothing less than a dream land, a boat journey

between these sheer walls of pure marbles is surely entrancing the eye never wearies of the infinite beauty,

nor the ear of the constant splashing of water amidst the sylvan solitude. In the narrow channel of the

mighty river there is a place where the steep marbles approach each other closely from opposite banks that

local people have a very aptly named it the 'monkey- leap'(Bandar kudni).

The large volume of water which has depth of 51.51 mts near the travelers rest house, makes its first

plunge into the mighty rift of water fall, locally known as 'Dhuvandhar' (the fall of smoke),again producing a

surrounding of heavenly bliss. Bana- kunda and Rudra- kunda are two other picturesque spots on the

Narmada at Bhedaghat and number of religious legends is associated with them.

Beyond the marble rocks the Narmada enters a plain and traverses the southern portion of the district. But

before leaving the Bhedaghat it confluences with a small rivulet known as Bawanganga which possible is the

original course of the Narmada. This is confirmed by find of geological anquities in the sections of the rivulet

during research’s conducted by various international and national agencies geologists confirm that


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 10 of 34


Bawanganga is the original course of the Narmada and the water fall and the marble rocks are later

formations created out of earthquake and various other tectonic movements underground.

3.3 Name and local legends

Many local legends exist about Bhedaghat to prove the scared character of its various spots. According to

one these, Bhedaghat is said to have taken its name from the legendary Bhrigu rishi who used to live on the

bank of Narmada at the spot close to the modern rest house no.2. It is also suggested that the name might

have been originate from the term Bhera, meaning place, signifying the confluence of the two rivers, the

Narmada and the Bawanganga, which takes place here. Some scholars believe that the name may be a

modern form of some such original word like Bhairavighat. So named because of the fact that the place was

a famous center of Sakti worship. Archaeological remains prove that Bhedaghat was the center of Sakta

worship from ancient times.

Many legendary stories exist about 'Bandar kundi' Panchavati ghat. Saraswati ghat and other spots and

these are narrated by the boat drivers to the visitors while ferrying across the marble rocks.

GEO ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION

BHEDAGHAT has been an important focal point of research in course of Geo-archaeological investigation

conducted in the middle Narmada valley during over 150 years of researches beginning with 1832 .it is a

well-known fact that the Narmada alluvium provides a standard yard stick for the Pleistocene chronology of

the Deccan and also for the post Villafranchain deposit in India .it is mainly on the basis of Narmada fauna

that the boulder conglomerate formation of northern India has been assigned a middle Pleistocene age. The

middle Narmada valley between Bhedaghat and Handia district. Has not only exposed fairly thick alluvial

deposit ranging in age from the middle Pleistocene to early Holocene, but also has yielded Lithic or stonage

tools of various cultural stages. Recent exposure of a quaternary deposit at Bhedaghat by team of

archaeologists from the Deccan College, Pune, is an interesting discovery. It is one of classical sections found

on the Narmada river revealing the activities of the early man. The section reveals at least four separate

units. The base of the most recent unit has been radio carbon dated to 25,160 B.P. and contains upper

palaeolithic artifacts datable between 30000 and 10000 BC. The middle unit is undated but contains

Bandar Kudni Dhuwandhar


Date: 25-10-2013

Page: Page 11 of 34


advanced Acheulian artifacts earlier too stonage artifacts were discovered at Bhedaghat and reported by

number of teams of archaeologists. Discovery in 1982 of the fossilized skull -cap of Narmada man from

Hathnora in the Sheore district in the middle Narmada valley, has added new dimensions towards prehistoric

researches in the sub-continent. The skull cap is dated at 5-6 lakh year old.

3.4 Historical Importance




during the respective periods, history of Bhedaghat coincided with the history of the territory concerned.

As a part of the settlement of Tripuri from proto-history to 14th Century A.D., Bhedaghat passed through the



feudatories and finally the mighty Kalachuri rulers of Tripuri. Archaelogical remains of some of these ages


During the medieval times, as a part of the Garha-Mandla Kingdom, Bhedaghat witnessed the rule of Gond

rulers for a period of 344 years from the rise of Kharji in 1440 A.D to arrest of Narhari Shah in 1784 A.D.

Thereafter during the Maratha rule, it was said that the village Bhedaghat was donated by Raghuji Bhonsala

to Mahant Hardeo Puri Gosain. Subsequently the village became a part of the British territory during whose

regime too the disciples of

Hardeo puri continued to hold

the village as a free grant for

perpetuity subject to the

payment of a quitrent of Rs 5.

It’s most famous sights are

the Duandhar Falls, Marble

Rocks and the Chausath

Equus namadicus (skull) Bos namadicus (Skull)

Yogini temple.

Archaeological remains

Apart from the lower, middle, upper, palaeolithic and Mesolithic tools of stone age found from Bhedaghat

during various Geo-archaeological investigations discussed above, the village has yielded some important

archaeological source material which are as follows:

Coins

A bronze circular coin of the Satavahana ruler siree data was discovered from the bank of the Bawanganga

in 1954.the Satavahana rule lasted over tripuri from the middle of the first century BC. To 2nd century A.D

this particular coin on the account of existence of the name of the ruler on its observe, went a long way in

solving the chronology of the Satavahana on national level.

Inscriptions:

• Statue inscriptions of western kshatrapa period (c. 50 A.D.) were found inscribed on two statues

discovered from Dhuvandhar in 1918-19. The inscription mentions that the statues are now in possessions of

Nagpur museum.

• Stone inscription of Kalachuri ruler Narasimha dated in kalachuri Samvat 907 (1155 A.D.).This

inscription was procured form Bhedaghat by Dr. F. E. hall in 1857 and preserved in the cabinet of the

american oriental society at new haven (USA) where it is now preserved. The object of the inscription is to

record that kings mother Alhanadevi, the widow of Gayakarna constructed a temple of Shiva under the name

of Vaidyanath together with a Matha and a hall for study with which she endowed with the income from two

villages viz. Namaundi in the Jauli-pattala and Makarapataka on the right bank of the Narmada in the land

near the foot of the hills, for the worship of the deity.

• Gaurishankar temple inscription of kalchuri ruler Vijayasimha. This inscription is incised on a stone

slab let into the front wall, on the right -hand side of the door of the Garbhagriha of the Gaurishankar

3.5 Monuments and sculptures

The temple of Chaunsatha Yogini

Immediately above the confluence of the Narmada and

Bawanganga, the fork of rock rise into a small circular hill. Atop

this hill is situated the 10th century A.D. Temple of the extinct cult

of Chaunsatha Yogini. Placed topographically at the highest point

amongst the surroundings, the position this temple is unique and

commanding. A long flight of roughly hewn steps lead right up

from the bed of the Narmada to the south-eastern entrance of

the temple. From its north-eastern entrance another flight of steps

lead one to the road which connects the waterfall. Close beneath,

on the south the blue water of the Narmada seems to sleep, spell, spellbound, under the snow-white walls

that shut them in.

To the north and the west the view is bounded by thickly wooded height; but on the east the eye looks

down on a long reach of the river, stretching away for miles towards Jabalpur.

Among many obscure cults of ancient and early medieval India the cults of Chaunsatha Yyogin was one.

Yoginis are essentially attendants of the mother goddess, through different interpretations exist. Through

literacy reference to Yoginis may be traced as far back as post- Vedic period in India, regular cult worship of

the Yogini came into existence sometimes during the 8th – 9th century A.D. The lead in the direction was

taken by saint Machchhendranatha, the founder of the Yogini Kaula sect, the tenets of which are revealed in

the work kaulajnananirnaya, the authorship of which is ascribed to him.

The followers of Yogini Kaula sect tried to spread their teaching far and wide all over India through the main

regions of their activities seem to have been modern Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orrisa

and the district of Coimbatore. Extant remains of the Yogini temples have been found at: Hirapur and

Ranipur Jharial in Orissa; Khajuraho, 65 in cases of Mitauli, 42 in cases of Dudahi and Badoh and the largest

number-81 in case of Bhedaghat. This makes the Bhedaghat temple unique. Architecturally, the temples of

Chaunsatha Yogini are either circular or rectangular in shape with Yogini sculptures installed on pedestals

along the inner side of the walls of the circulating cloister with or without a temple erected at the center of

the cloister. The Khajuraho and Badoh temples are rectangular, the rest are circular.

Apart from the temple remains, isolated collections of Yogini sculptures have been found in MP. At Naresar,

sculptures are in the collections of : the Musee' Guimet in Paris, the Detroit institute of art, the royal Ontario

museum, the Brooklyn museum, the Minneapolis institute of arts and the Kansas collection.

The circular cloister of the Bhedaghat temple consists of a huge thick wall along outer edge of a circular

platform, inside which there is a circular row of pillars and pilasters arranged in two concentric circles. A flat

roof with a low ribbed chhajja running all along is supported by these pillars and pilasters. The inner

diameter of the cloister is 34.5 meters and the outer is 40.8 meters. The number of pillars in front row is 84

and an equal number of pilasters are arranged opposite to them against the black wall. 81 equidistant

An analytical study of these sculptures makes it clear that these belong to three phases; one of Kushana

period (no.1), seven of post-Gupta period (no.22, 25, 30, 3, 67, 67-a73) and the rest of the period of the

Kalachuris when the temple in the present shape was built up this indicates that originally a small temple of

the Matrikas was built up on this mound sometime during 1st century A.D. When the Kushanas ruled over

this region. In 7th-8th century A.D., during the post-Gupta period sculptures. The present shape of the

temple came into existence when Yuvarajadeva I, the kalchuri ruler came to power in 915 A.D.

Epigraphic evidence supports this statement.

Of the kalachuri sculptures too, no.26 is of supreme goddess Mahishasuramardini who could not be

considered a Yogini Four, viz. no. 3, 20, 63 and 69 are respectively of the river goddesses Narmada, Yamuna,

Ganga and Sarswati. The remaining 61 are Yogini sculptures. Of these ten are unnamed. The remaining six

are Siva, Ganesha, Hanumana and Boshisattva.

The temple of Gaurishanakr stands inside the circular cloister, though not exactly in the center of the cloister

or on the central line of it to explain this various theories have been propounded. The existing temple faces

north and the plan of the Garbhagirha is exactly same through on a reduced scale, as one of the shrine of

the Triple-shrine temple of kalachuri ruler Karna at Amarkantak. The Mandapa in front and small shrine

which contains the bulls on the Gosladevi discussed above.

Inside the Garbhagriha is a rare image of Gaurishankara under worship. In this Shiva and Parvarthiare

shown seated on the back of standing Nandi. Termed as Kalyanasundara, this image depicts the scene of

departure of Shiva after his marriage with Parvati. This is further confirmed by inscription 'Vareshvarah'

inscribed on the pedestal of the image. Sculptures of three-headed Shiva,Surya, dancing Ganesha, Lakshmi-

narayana, karttikeya, Naga and Nagi and the Buddhist deity Tara are also fixed in the wall, surrounding the

central deity in the Garbhagirha.

(dist.Guntur, Andhra Pradesh) it is stated that king

Yuvarajadeva of kalachuri dynasty gave as

Bhiksha, three lakhs of villages to his guru

Sadbhavashambhu of the Golkai Matha situated

between Narmada and Ganga. This Golaki Matha

was so named on account of its attachment with

the Gol (round) temple of Chaunsatha Yogini

Remains of this Matha may be identified with the

ruined two storied rectangular structure situated

just opposite to the steps that lead to the temple which begins from the road side. This was the famous

tantric center known all over India, the branches of which were established at Cudappah, Kurnool,

Guntur, and north Arcot district. In the religious history of ancient India, the Shiva Acharyas of Golkai

bride. It is meeting point of the Narmada and the Bawanganga. The ghat is also old as revealed by

existing remains of old steps. The ghats in their original form must have been in existence since times

immemorial.

This in short is a brief account of the past glory of Bhedaghat an essential part of the city of Jabalpur.

It has been rightly said ''our identity is the result of our past. In the same way as we inherit the genes

of our parents, we are also made up of genes of our past heritage”. It is expected that all of us shall

leave no stone unturned to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture

6.3 Income Multiplier Effect

Money spent by the tourist in the country is turned over

several times. In the process the total income earned from

tourism is number of times more than the actual spending.

This phenomenon is referred to as the income multiplier

effect.

The average percentage spent on different categories of

tourist expenditure

The source of income for the Nagar Parishad is by toll tax and parking charges.

Table 4:: Income details

Year No. of Tourists No of Vehicles Income per Vehicle Total Income

It is evident from the above table that approximately 23 Lakhs is generated from the tourism sector to

Nagar Parishad.

After making Bhedaghat a 2 days tourism circuit, with better connectivity and information dissemination

to the tourists, it is expected to attract more tourists. As the tourism attractions around the Bhedaghat

are within 3-5 kms distance making Bhedaghat a prospective centre for accommodation.

Assuming 30% of total number of tourists staying in Bhedaghat, there are 5 hotels which are

accommodating around 100 beds approximately.

7.4 SWOT analysis

• Strengths:

The town has both recreational and Historical Tourism attraction. The town is predominantly dependent

on tourism as its Economic base.

• Weaknesses:

Being close to Jabalpur (25 km) Bhedaghat places itself for a one day tourism circuit. Bhedaghat is not

attracting many tourists as it is not properly connected to other tourism attractions around it.

• Opportunities:

Making Bhedaghat a 2 day tourism circuit as there are many places near Bhedaghat which can be

improvised as tourism places. Improved tourist infrastructure would provide tremendous opportunities.

• Threats: The existing facilities and civic amenities may not be sufficient for the needs of

tourist inflow.

Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats

Scenic Beauty Poorly linked with the region

Potential of attracting more tourists which in turn

will give economic benefits

CHAPTER 8: TOURISM PROPOSALS

The heritage walk is a concept in which people are made to get closer to the town by taking

them through a guided walk and getting them familiar with the historical importance and strong

recreational character of the town.

The heritage walk makes people aware of the heritage and also guides them through the historic

and religious important building. The walks will be conducted by trained guides and can also be

supported with slideshows, pamphlets and stage shows.

Bus facility: These Buses might have a capacity of about 100 passengers. This kind of project

will require proper road surface. The advent of these buses will control pollution and improve the

mode of public transportation in the town.

interaction among the society. The parks should be preferably designed in such a way that they

require very less maintenance in the long run and at the same time give a welcoming and

friendly impression to the user.

The materials used could be more indigenous in nature and the parks could be designed as an

extension of heritage spaces, even theme parks attract more tourists.

Adventurous activities to promote Tourism:

Trekking in the forest will be designed in interesting paths and can have shopping places at

some points to provide employment and economy.

Tyrolean traverse:

A Tyrolean traverse is a method of crossing through

free space between two high points on a rope

without a hanging cart or cart equivalent.

River front development:

Riverfront should have a wonderful place to walk,

special pavers, sidewalks, way finding signage,

banners, and an easy-to-follow street pattern.

It should be pedestrian-friendly, long with public

plazas, seating areas, kiosks, street vendors or

performers, or something else of interest.

CONSERVATION & TOURISM

INTRODUCTION - CONSERVATION OF HERITAGE SITES INCLUDING TOURISM

Nature conservation and tourism in the contemporary sense date from the first half of the nineteenth century

and, to a large extent, have developed parallel to one another. Conservation of heritage sites shall include

buildings, artifacts, structures, areas and precincts of historic, aesthetic, architectural, cultural or

environmentally significant nature (heritage buildings and heritage precincts), natural feature areas of

environmental significance or sites of scenic beauty.

Tourism, in all its forms, is of crucial importance to the economic, social and environmental well-being of the

whole country. The planning system has a vital role to play in terms of facilitating the development and

improvement of tourism in appropriate locations.

Ecotourism and protected areas:

Protected areas, which are also regions of significant tourist attraction, are formed in three ways:

• Tourist regions that have been exploited particularly intensively are put under protection. This is a

typical case for mountain national parks.

• A region is recognized as an interesting site after it has been declared a protected area - who would

have thought that vast marshlands or peat bogs could become an attraction until naturalists began

calling for their protection?

• Protection is introduced, among other reasons, to save the tourist attractions of a region, e.g. from

industrial exploitation. This is the objective of many scenic protection areas.

The mandate of the Tourism and Conservation Planning is 'To conserve the rich biodiversity of the Protected

Areas and to develop, sustainable tourism in collaboration with stakeholders for the benefit of all the People

living in Bhedaghat town’

Bhedaghat has a special scenic, recreational and historical value. Its ecology entails some of the following

elements:

• Places of religious Importance

• Places of Historic and archeological Importance

• Excellent Trekking Destination

• Good Picnic Spots

CONSERVATION OF MONUMENTS AND SCULPTURES:

The temple of Chaunsatha Yogini

Immediately above the confluence of the Narmada and Bawanganga, the fork of rock rise into a small circular

hill. Atop this hill is situated the 10th century A.D. Temple of the extinct cult of Chaunsatha Yogini. Placed

topographically at the highest point amongst the surroundings, the position this temple is unique and

commanding. A long flight of roughly hewn steps lead right up from the bed of the Narmada to the south-

eastern entrance of the temple. From its north-eastern entrance another flight of steps lead one to the road

which connects the waterfall. Close beneath, on the south the blue water of the Narmada seems to sleep,

spell, spellbound, under the snow-white walls that shut them in.

To the north and the west the view is bounded by thickly wooded height; but on the east the eye looks down

on a long reach of the river, stretching away for miles towards Jabalpur.

Among many obscure cults of ancient and early medieval India the cults of Chaunsatha Yyogin was one.

Yoginis are essentially attendants of the mother goddess, through different interpretations exist. Through

literacy reference to Yoginis may be traced as far back as post- Vedic period in India, regular cult worship of

the Yogini came into existence sometimes during the 8th – 9th century A.D. The lead in the direction was

taken by saint Machchhendranatha, the founder of the Yogini Kaula sect, the tenets of which are revealed in

the work kaulajnananirnaya, the authorship of which is ascribed to him.

The followers of Yogini Kaula sect tried to spread their teaching far and wide all over India through the main

regions of their activities seem to have been modern Indian states of Uttarpradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orrisa

and the district of Coimbatore. Extant remains of the Yogini temples have been found at: Hirapur and Ranipur

Jharial in Orissa; Khajuraho, 65 in cases of Mitauli, 42 in cases of Dudahi and Badoh and the largest number-

81 in case of Bhedaghat. This makes the Bhedaghat temple unique. Architecturally, the temples of

Chaunsatha Yogini are either circular or rectangular in shape with Yogini sculptures installed on pedestals

along the inner side of the walls of the circulating cloister with or without a temple erected at the center of

the cloister. The Khajuraho and Badoh temples are rectangular, the rest are circular.

Interior view and plan of Chaunsatha Yogini Temple

Apart from the temple remains, isolated collections of Yogini sculptures have been found in MP. At Naresar,

Hingalgarh, Lokahari and Shahdol in addition to several museums in India and abroad. Interesting Yogini

sculptures are in the collections of : the Musee' Guimet in Paris, the Detroit institute of art, the royal Ontario

museum, the Brooklyn museum, the Minneapolis institute of arts and the Kansas collection.

The circular cloister of the Bhedaghat temple consists of a huge thick wall along outer edge of a circular

platform, inside which there is a circular row of pillars and pilasters arranged in two concentric circles. A flat

roof with a low ribbed chhajja running all along is supported by these pillars and pilasters. The inner diameter

of the cloister is 34.5 meters and the outer is 40.8meters. The number of pillars in front row is 84 and an

equal number of pilasters are arranged opposite to them against the black wall. 81 equidistant pedestals are

erected on the circular platform and images of Yoginis and other deities are fixed on them.

GOLAKI MATHA

In a pillar inscription found that from Malkapuram

(dist.Guntur, Andhrapradesh) it is stated that king

Yuvarajadeva of kalachuri dynasty gave as

Bhiksha, three lakhs of villages to his guru

Sadbhavashambhu of the Golkai Matha situated

between Narmada and Ganga. This Golaki Matha

was so named on account of its attachment with

the Gol (round) temple of Chaunsatha Yogini

Remains of this Matha may be identified with the

ruined two storied rectangular structure situated just opposite to the steps that lead to the temple which

begins from the road side. This was the famous tantric center known all over India, the branches of which

were established at Cudappah, Kurnool, Guntur, and north Arcot district. In the religious history of ancient

India, the Shiva Acharyas of Golkai Matha occupy a prominent place for their learning. In modern terminology

the structure is known as Haveli.

Gaurishankar Temple

PACHMATHA COMPLEX

Opposite the Haveli is situated a group of five temples, known as Panchmatha. Parts of this group were built

during different periods. Temple no.1 is a panchayatan temple built on a plinth measuring 22.93*19.1 meters.

with Gond influence. The Adhisthana is plain and is 1

meter high.

The temple is datable to c. 14th – 15th century A.D.

Temple no.4 situated along the edge of the road is

square in plan with spiraled Amalaka, decorative

Shikhara in curvilinear and leaf designs. An inscription

of about 9-10th century A.D is installed into the plinth of the temple is datable to c. early 14th century A.D
