pioneer in the field of appropriating property rights for the urban poor and has initiated

several programmes for the poor during the past 20 years. He further stated that the scheme

of RAY was innovative in its approach; however, MP needs to rethink and reflect on the

difficulties faced in the implementation of the programmes. This would be crucial to help

implement the RAY programme in a better and effective manner and satisfy the larger goal

of creating slum free cities.

He further emphasised upon the need of a dedicated team compromising of experts from the

Ministry level which could constantly be approached for support in implementation and other

capacity supports. The team could also focus help in identifying and exploring other models

in the context of Madhya Pradesh. He requested the team of SNPUPR and SPA to put forth

this request before the Ministry.

development and the urban poor. However the same need to be utilised appropriately. There

is a need to involve the elected councillors and through active community participation of the

beneficiaries and along with the officials of the cities to bring about good work. He further

5.0 Discussions and Questions Taken

This was followed by a detailed interactive session where several issues and suggestions

were made:

With regard to the survey, the question was as to what would be the deadline to be

considered. As the survey was complete in many parts as of 2010, it was stated that

the same would be used and no fresh survey would be undertaken. The survey

would however, would be cross-checked on the ground.

The Collector of Bhopal further reiterated that a team of experts from the revenue

department, NGOs, consultants and engineers should be constituted to resolve,

address and advise in the implementation of the programme.

The issue of land was highlighted as to how the Ministry would address the same. It

was clarified that land was a State subject and all relevant orders were issued. With

regard to central government land, a study needs to be presented before the Ministry

analysing the same. The same is however being taken up by the Ministry with the

respective Ministries.

It was also clarified upon an issue raised by the Chinwada mayor that all kinds of

projects can be taken up under RAY. Upgradation would be welcome and only in

extreme cases relocation would be required.

It was suggested that all the Pilot DPRs be prepared at the earliest so that the same

may be forwarded to the ministry by the 15th of January 2013 as the pilot DPRs

would be accepted only till 31st of March 2013.

It was stressed that that all the Technical cells should be initiated in the cities as soon

as possible to help faster implementation of the programme.

6.0 Preparation of Workplan and Follow Up

A common action plan was discussed regarding preparation of the pilot DPRs which need to

be emphasised for a target of 31st January, 2013. Simultaneously it was also stressed that

all the SFCPoA which are under preparation need to be completed. The SFCPoA and DPRs

approved need to take shape into projects on the ground hence a lot has to be done in terms

of implementation of the projects.

by the State Cordinator, Mr. Anubhav. It ended with a positive note and greater clarity on the
