Slum and squatters are considered as problem areas for urban development in

the world. In all Indian cities of Slums are physically poor and there is problem of

quality, sub standard housing areas, which pose danger of health and life of slum

dwellers. The presence of slum as part of urban habitat refers to condition of defective

physical, social economic environment. 1

The phenomenon of slum has come to be regarded as major problem of

urbanization. The phenomenon of slum is worldwide and almost every city has slum

and with the growth of urban population nowadays slums have created a panic for

cities development. It has been a serious issue for the town planning and so the study

of slums is meaningful for the environmental modification and ameliorating the

problems of urban areas for providing more amenities to the telling masses.

The geographers, town planners and sociologists have made several attempts

for delineating the salient characteristics of urban slums in both developing and

developed countries. The present study focuses on the demographic and socio-

economic aspects of the slum dwellers of Nashik city, so as to work new strategy for

their development.

5.2 DEFINITION:

Definition of slum has its roots mainly in deteriorating and sub-standard

housing and overcrowding, sanitation, poverty, are the character of the area occupied

by the slum, and its location in the ecological setting within the sprawling city. Many

attractive definitions have been formulated, showing the need of precise, logical and

concise definition, which may support the various dimensions of the big beast.

Geographers, sociologist and town planners to define slums and delineate their salient

characteristics have made several attempts. There are number of terms by which

slums are known in different countries. In India, they are known as Buslees in

Kolkata, Jhuggis and Jhoupris in Delhi, Chawls in Mumbai, Ahtas in Kanpur, Cheris

in Chennai, Keris in Banglore, Pettas in Andhra Pradesh and Zopadpatti in

Maharashtra.2

The term slum has been long in use almost since the 18th century when it was

used as a term for squalid housing in densely populated districts of industrial cities.

John Robertson (1920) fully supports this and has commented that a town slum may

be structurally good and yet, from its darkened surrounding and its healthy

environment absence of free air supply its soot laden atmosphere, it may be one of the

155

most un- whole some dwellings. Gists and Helbert (1956) have defined a slum, as an

area of poor houses and poor people. It is an area of transition and decadence, a

disorganized area occupied by human derelicts, a catch all for the criminals for the

defective, and the down and out. In the same, the United Nation has defined, slum as

“a buildings, group of buildings or area characterized by overcrowding, deterioration

unsanitary condition or absence of facilities or amenities which because of these

conditions or only of them, endanger the health, safety or morals of its inhabitants or

the community.”3

The slum Act of 1956 defines slums mainly in terms of substandard structure

of housing, overcrowding, lack of ventilation, and zero or near zero sanitation

facilities, all conspiring to promote slum life, which defies health and morals. The

definition of a slum as a common indicator of reality in given in the Oxford,

University Dictionary (1955) as “a street, alley court etc., situated in a crowed district

of a town or city and is inhabited by people of low income classes or by very poor. A

number of these streets and alleys forming a thickly populated neighborhood of a

squalid and wretched charter.”

According to David R. Hunter (1968) who thought that, “Slum is more than a

crowded building; it is more than dirty streets, the lackluster people sitting on the

stems, the shrieking children running up and down, the sullen boys having at the

corners, the stupefied addicts leaning against. It is a way of life and it run on a way of

looking at the future or is perhaps looking away from it.” To Dickinson (1960), the

term slum connotes an extreme conditions of plight in which the housing is so unfit as

to constitute a menace to the health on morals.4

5.3 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS:

The slum is a worldwide urban phenomenon, and is cast into a stereotype

image with a heavily negative bias a ‘rash’ on city landscape, ‘a blot on civilization’,

over-crowding, filth, sub-standard housing, drinking, vice, violence, apathy and

poverty. A positive attitude is to recognize the slum as a ‘component’ of city

evolution, an ‘element of urban complex’, as a ‘transitional settlement’ at that low

level of survival, and to appreciate the contribution of the slum dwellers to the city’s

low wage labour force and its gross product. The slum represents both physical and

human adjustment to poverty, and in developing countries, depicts ‘subsistence’

urbanization.5

There are various characteristic features of a slum, its appearance, economic

status, overcrowding, congestion, health and sanitary conditions, morals, way of

living attitudes, isolation and permanency. Although most definitions have pointed out

that slum areas are punctuated by inadequate housing, insufficient structural and basic

amenities, overcrowding and congestion, to a large extent however, it is a community

in process, it is a way of living and moreover it is a subsystem in a large urban system

which is characterized by attributes of poverty, insanitation, defiant behavior and

social isolation and apathy.

According to Rao and Rao, three common points emerge from various

attempts several scientists in defining a slum. First, slum refers to an area or a

situation and does not constitute an isolated building. Secondly, it can be identified by

a combination of physical attributes and not with reference to any single attribute.

Thirdly, there is a considerable range of variation in regard to the manifestation of

each one of the physical attributes. The main physical attributes of slum area are

substandard houses, high density and congestion, overcrowding, insanitary condition

and clearance of garbage. While these attributes of physical conditions are universal

when identifying a slum area.6

Slum dwelling signifies as a common phenomenon of degraded life of urban

dwelling itself. A slum represents a micro-habitat unit within a large framework of

urban built up space. The presence of a slum as a part of urban habitat refers to

condition of defective physical, social and economic environment. It means physically

poor quality sub-standard housing characterize slum areas which pose danger of

health and life of slum dwellers. The socio-economic standard denote an area of

degenerated living “an abode of half starved, a place of poverty, wretchedness and

vice, the house of racketeers and criminal” and so on.7

5.4 GROWTH OF SLUMS IN NASHIK CITY:

The growth of slums starts with the setting up of industries in Nashik as it has

taken place in other cities also. In order to understand the general pattern of slums and

their growth in the city, basic data available with the municipal corporation records,

census records and personal field observation have collected and analyzed.

The existing structure of the slums in Nashik city indicates that, there are 168

total slums in Nashik city, out of which 56 slums are declared and 112 undeclared.

There are 168 slums have covered nearly 21,53,291 Sq, meter area of the total. All

these slums are scattered in different parts of the city and majority of these slums are

developed on private land or on disputed corporation land.

5.5 REHABILITATION OF SLUMS IN NAHIK CITY:

National Commission on Urbanization (1988) had expressed serious concern

primarily for the informal sector and the urban poor in the planning practices at

Central, State and Local levels. The new National Housing policy also lays greater

emphasis on the delivery of services to the urban poor particularly in respect of shelter

for the poor and the resulting informal sector. Nashik Municipal Corporation has a

separate Department that deals with slums and their improvement and rehabilitation.

The information as provided by the survey of the Municipal Corporation indicates that

there are 168 slums in the city out of which 56 are ‘declared slums’ and 112 are

‘undeclared slums’ in which about 2.14 lakhs (14.44%) population is living. This

however is the position as on 1.1.1995 as the State Govt had decided to regularize the

slums to this date and so far no decision has been taken regarding slums that have

come up after this cutoff date. It is assumed that an equivalent number of slums must

have come up after this cut-off date.

5.5.1 PRESENT POLICY AND ITS INADEQUACY:

Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana is being implemented in Nashik since

November 2002 and about 1178 tenetments have been constructed under the scheme

that will cater to the needs of population of about 5890. Considering the magnitude of

the problem, what has been achieved during last four years is less than 5% (for slums

upto 1995) indicating that the programme is too inadequate to be meaningfully

effective and new approach has to be evolved particularly for this segment of urban

scenarios. Alternative Strategies Mumbai and Pune have Slum Redevelopment

Authorities, which use Transferable Development rights and F.S.I. incentives to

Private Sector in order to involve Private Sector Participation in increasing housing

stock for the urban poor. These authorities also have a separate special regulators

provisions and main features are as follows:

i) While generally allowable F.S.I. in Mumbai and Pune is 1.00, the private

sector is allowed to redevelop these slum sites using a site F.S.I. of 2.50. As an

additional incentive, the developer is allowed to use the T.D.R of the slum area on his

other lands in lower density areas.

160

ii) If the slums exist on lands reserved for Public purposes, then part of area is

used for rehabilitation of existing slum population and the balance area is developed

for the public purpose for which the land was reserved. The above two strategies

have following benefits: ¾ Private sector substantially contributes in the process of

rehabilitation of slum dwellers. ¾ Sites reserved for public purposes are partly

retrieved and the amenity though with smaller area becomes available to the public.

iii) Private Sector’s response to the strategy has been observed to be very

positive and rehabilitation of slums on a very large scale has been achieved.

Considering the magnitude of the slum problem and very small achievement

achieved so far through Govt. efforts, there exist full justifications to adopt such

measures also for Nashik City while addressing the problem of slums. What however

is considered necessary is to simplify procedural aspects and yet to imbibe incentives

large enough to attract private sector in this direction.

After discussions with public representatives, NGOs and professionals,

following approach has been suggested:

i) NMC should modify its present development control rules to allow private

sector participation in rehabilitation of slum dwellers by permitting F.S.I. up to 2.5.

ii) NMC itself should undertake development schemes for slum located on

lands belonging to the Municipal Corporation and also on Govt. lands which Govt.

should transfer to the NMC on priority basis. Funds required for these projects should

come through the following sources. The second part would thus qualify for Central,

State and ULB in the following ratio.

iii) If slums have come up on lands reserved for public purposes in the

development plan, then rehabilitation should be allowed on 50% land area and the

balance 50% area may be developed for the Public purpose for which the site is

reserved, thus making the amenity available to the General public and the urban poor.

Part of these sites can be developed as low cost shops for hawkers, vegetable vendors,

and tapariwallas. If NMC and the State Govt. accept the above strategy, it will be

immensely helpful in delivery of important services to the poor and the informal

sector. Cost estimates are as summarized below:

5.5.2 SLUM REDEVELOPMENT ON MUNICIPAL LANDS:

Twenty-five slums exist on Municipal or Goverment lands extending over an

area of 35.50 Ha. 25,000 tenements may be built on these lands of 25.00 sq. m, and

each should not cost more than Rs. 80,000/- per tenement. This will benefit 1,25,000

161

Page 10: CHAPTER -V SLUMS OF NASHIK CITY - Shodhganga : …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27129/14/14...5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 DEFINITION 5.3 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS 5.4

population and 4,000 workers in informal sector including Tapariwallas, Veg. wanders

etc.

5.5.3 DEVELOPMENT ON PRIVATE LANDS:

The Municipal Corporation survey had indicated that before Jan 95, slums had

come up on about 42-hectare area of lands at different locations. In this project 10%

land will have to be set aside for open spaces and remaining 90% will be available for

redevelopment Per Hectare. This is a very significant part of CDP as it aims at

delivery of services and shelters to the Urban Poor population through Municipal and

private sector participation. A suggestion of this component on similar lines has also

come from promoters and builders Association of Nashik. This will create 40000

tenements and 2000 low cost shops, which will benefit 2.00 lakh slum dwellers and

4000 workers from the informal sector. Remaining surplus tenements will be useful

as night shelters for migrant population or tourists. Well constructed roads, gutters,

gardens and tree plantations have been envisaged. It is the cherished dream of the

citizens of Nashik to make Nashik “A CITY WITHOUT SLUMS”.7 The table V-II

and V-III gives detail about slums rehabilitation status.

5.6 SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLUMS:

The study of spatial distribution of slums in Nashik city is essential for

understanding of nature and pattern of slums. There are one sixty eight slums in

162

Page 11: CHAPTER -V SLUMS OF NASHIK CITY - Shodhganga : …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27129/14/14...5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 DEFINITION 5.3 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS 5.4

Nashik city (Figure 5.2), out of which 56 slums are declared and 112 undeclared.

Except these slums, 85 slums are rehabilitated during last decade.

FIGURE NO. 5.2

The spatial pattern of slums indicates that most of them are located in interior

part of the city. While a few are located in the peripheral regions of the city because

peripheral regions are mainly agricultural areas. There are forty six slums located

Panchavati. While twenty six are in east and sixteen slums located in west Nashik

163

Page 12: CHAPTER -V SLUMS OF NASHIK CITY - Shodhganga : …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27129/14/14...5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 DEFINITION 5.3 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS 5.4

areas. Forty four slums are located near Nashik road. Nineteen and eighteen slums are

developed at Cidco and Satpur area. The above spatial distribution of slum clearly

indicates that majority of slums are located in central part of city which is become

panic to city residents.

5.7 DEMOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE OF SLUMS:

The study of population is very important because it has for reaching effects in

modifying the face of the earth. Slum population whether in regular and legalized

slums or in illegal squatter hutments, accounts for a substantial share of city

population. Here, an attempt has been made to study the demographic structure of

slums of Nashik city in which the total population, size of population, area occupied,

and population density, and residential density, size of families, sex composition, age

composition, and educational status and of slums of Nashik city have been studied.

5.7.1 POPULATION OF SLUMS:

There are 168 slums in Nashik city, out of which 56 slums are registered and

other 112 slums are not registered. The total population of all slums is 2,14,769

persons in 2008. The percentage of slum population found highest in Mahatma Phule

Nagar (Nashik road), which accounts for 4.62 per cent of the total slum population.

While largest area occupied by the Upnagar Nashik road which accounts for 12.25

per cent of the total slum area. The Daha Chauk is the lowest in population size,

number of families and area occupied than the other slums, which accounts for 0.03

per cent of the total slum population, Wadar wadi, Peth road, Panchvati accounts for

3.91 per cent of total slum population, which is second largest in population size,

while Sawrbaba Nagar is third largest in population size, (i.e. 3.56 per cent). P. C.

Tolls Prabhud Nagar, Kajichi Gadi, Shanti Ngar, Panchashil Nagar, Samata Nagar,

Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar have more than two per cent population of total slum

population. (Table V-V and Figure 5.3)

5.7.2 DENSITY OF POPULATION:

The analysis of population density holds immense significance for geographer

as its successful understanding holds key to the analysis of entire demographic

character of an area. The population density of slum in Nashik city is not evenly

distributed. The average density of slums population has recorded 10 persons per

meter in the year 2006. It is observed that Naikwadi has the highest population

density, which accounts for 34 persons per meter Indira Gandhi Nagar has the lowest

density of population which accounts for 01persons per meter. (Table V-IV)

The population density has been grouped into three categories as follows:

i) High density (Above 20 persons per meter)

ii) Moderate density (10 - 20 persons per meter)

iii) Low density (Below 10 persons per meter)

i) HIGH DENSITY (Above 20 persons per meter)

It is observed that out of the total slums nearly 38.69 per cent slums have

density above 20 persons per meter which occupies 38.00 per cent of the total slum

area. Here, the density ranges from 34 persons (Naikwadi) to 21 persons (Majurwadi

N.R.Y.) per meter. The higher density of population in these slums found due to

nearness to core area and easy means of transport and communication.

ii) MODERATE DENSITY (10 to 20 person’s pet meter)

174

Page 23: CHAPTER -V SLUMS OF NASHIK CITY - Shodhganga : …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27129/14/14...5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 DEFINITION 5.3 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS 5.4

The moderate density zone, where density of population is observed from 10

to 20 persons per meter, it occupies 44.64 per cent of the total slum area and 37.32 per

cent of the total slums. Here, the density values varies from 11 persons (Kamble

wadi) per meter to 20 (Civil Naka) per meter.

iii) LOW DENSITY (Below 10 persons per meter)

It is observed that out of the total slums nearly 9.52 per cent of slums have

density less than 10 persons per meter which covers 58.80 per cent area of the total.

Here, the density ranges from 01 person (Indira Gandhi Nagar) per meter to 10

persons (Sant Kabir Nagar) per meter. The lower density of the slums located outer

side of the Nashik city area, where the more land is available. (Table V-V and Figure

5.4 A)

The average density of population of slum is 10 persons per meter but it varies

from slums to slums. As compared to density of population of Nashik city the

population density of slums found to be very high. The population density of Nashik

city is 04 persons per meter but the density of slums population varies from 01 to 34

persons per meter. It means that the slums have more crowded or congested with

population.

5.7.3 THE DENSITY OF RESIDENTS:

The congestion of population is also determined with the density of residential

houses and hutments. The density of residents has been calculated for all 168 slums.

The average density of residents per meter is about 0.01 houses. It is observed that the

highest density of residents per meter is found in sector No. III at Panchavati area i.e.

Page vasthi and sector no. II has lowest density of residents as compared to other

slums, i.e. Nashik west.

FIGURE NO. 5.4 (B)

It is observed that, the area where high density (i.e. above 1000 huts per meter)

covers an area about 20.27 per cent of the total area and 5.36 per cent of the total

number of slums. (Table V-VII and Figure 5.4C) It is concluded that where there is

less area which is occupied more density of population.

The another zone, where density of residential houses is 500 to 1000 huts per

meter covers 13.55 per cent area and occupies 5.95 per cent slums of the total. The

area with low density i.e. 500 huts per meter covers an area about 66.15 per cent of

the total area and 88.69 per cent of the total number of slums.

As compared to Nashik city, the density of residents is very much high. The

density of residents of Nashik city in 1991 was 0.57 houses per meter and in 2001; it

increases 0.87 houses per meter. The table V-IV shows the density of residents per

hectare of slums of Nashik city.

5.7.4 SEX RATIO:

The term sex ratio has been used to represent number of females per thousand

male. The sex ratio play the pivotal role in assessing the reproducing performance,

population growth, marriage rates, occupational structure and the migratory character

of the population. Hence here, the study of sex ratio of slums of Nashik city becomes

necessary. There are 833 females per 1000 males in the slums of Nashik city in 2008.

Table V-IX shows the slum classification according to sex ratio in 2008. There

are 168 slums in Nashik city, out of which 38.69 per cent slums have less than 800

females per 1000 males. Nearly 35.71 per cent slums have 800 to 899 females per

1000 males and 16.07 per cent slums have 900 to 999 females per 1000 males. It is

observed that 16 slums have above 1000 females per 1000 males i.e. Indira Nagar -

Khedi (1208), Dandekar Nagar -Railway area (1283) and Indira Nagar (1395).

5.7.5 AGE AND SEX COMPOSITION:

Among the various components of population composition, age and sex

composition hold a prime place for population geographer. The separate data for

males and females with their ages have importance for various types of planning and

for the analysis of other demographic characteristics such as fertility, mortality,

migration, marital status and economic characteristics etc. The balance of sexes

affects the social and economic relationships within a community.

For the purpose of analysis, the age-sex composition of slums, the percentage

of the total population and, male and female population has been considered. The

most emphatic way of presenting the age and sex structure of a given population is by

means of a graphic portrayal the age sex pyramid, also called as the ‘population

pyramid’. Here, an attempt has been made to study the age and sex composition of

slums of Nashik city.

FIGURE NO. 5.6

It is observed from the Table V-X, and Figure 5.6 that, nearly 13.77 per cent of

the total slum population is found in age-group of below 6 years and 26.53 per cent of

the total slum population is found in the age group of 7 to 14 years. From this, it is

concluded that the growth rate of population has decreased.

In the age group of 15 to 60 years, nearly 34.47 per cent of total slum

population is observed. This 15 to 60 years age group is biologically the most

reproductive and demographically the most mobile. It supports the bulk of other two

age groups and carries the burden of feeding, clothing’s, education of the young age

group and of looking after the old age group. Population above 60 years age group

constitutes only 3.30 per cent of the total slums population. It is also observed that

there is a deficiency of children and older persons in slum area and a piling up of

population in productive age group.

It is observed that, the percentage of male population is found more as

compare to female population except above 60 years age group, which has 3.02 per

cent males and 3.63 per cent females of total population. This is probably because

males are more exposed to occupational hazards. This has affected longevity of the

life in case of males. But if we consider all the age group together, the males dominate

the females. In 0 to 14 years age group percentage of males is above 34.47 and

percentage of females is 34.46 of total slum population. While in 15 to 60 years age

group have about 22.11 per cent males and 21.72 per cent females of total slums

population.

years and 15 to 34 years is very low i.e. 7 to 14 years age group have 875 females and

15 to 34 years age group have 890 females per thousand males. While the age group

of above 60 years have very high sex ratio with 1066 females per thousand males. The

sex ratio of 0 to 6 years age group and 35 to 60 years age group is closed to average

sex ratio (930 females) i.e. 0 to 6 years age group have 917 females and 35 to 60 years

age group have 905 females per thousand males. The Table V-XI and Figure 5.7 give

the clear idea about the sex ratio by age group.

5.7.6 LITERACY STRUCTURE:

After the advent of the dual skills of reading and writing the relevance of

literacy to the cultural advancement enhanced significantly. The population

commission of United Nations considered the ability to both read and write a simple

massage with understanding in any language a sufficient basis for classifying a person

as literate and the Indian census has adopted this definition. Literacy is essential for

eradicating poverty, social reconstruction, improvement in the quality of life and

preparation of manpower for rapid development. It is influences other such attributes

of population as fertility, mortality, mobility and occupations etc.9

Literacy is considered as fairly reliable index of socio-cultural and economic

advancement. Therefore, the analysis of literacy pattern and trend therein of slums of

Nashik city is immense significance. The average literacy of Nashik city is 74.51 per

cent, while average literacy of slum population is 20.47 per cent of total slum

population. Out of which 23.37 per cent is male and 20.47 per cent is female

population.

It is observed that, among the various slums of Nashik city, there are sharp

differences in the level of literacy. The Supreme colonies have highest percentage of

literate population (i.e. 29.50 per cent and 27.21 per cent). While Cidco and Satpur

lowest percentage of literate population (i.e. 12.04 per cent and 12.01 per cent The

Table V-XII and Figure 5.8 give the clear idea of the literacy of all slums of Nashik

city.

5.7.7 OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE:

The growth of the population is directly related to the character of the

occupation. Mukherjee and Singh (1954) have defined occupation as “The name of

the function which a person performs by engaging himself in that particular branch of

gainful economic activity which is his industry.’’10 The occupational characteristics of

a place depend largely on its socio-economic history, the sequence of its growth, its

basic functions and the resources of the region in which it is located. The nature and

complexity of economic base give rise to a distinctive type of occupational

characteristics.11

182

The occupational structure is perhaps the most important social characteristics

influencing man’s life.12 It reflects variety of cultural traits of the workers, especially

in a country like India, where cultural morning have strong bearing on what a person

is to do for earning livelihood.13 Therefore, it is essential to analyze the working force

and its livelihood pattern. Here, an attempt has been made to study the occupational

structure of slums of Nashik city. The slum dwellers in Nashik city are engaged in

various occupations. There is a general tendency among the slum dwellers of similar

occupation to live together. Most of slum population is engaged in laborers,

construction work, domestic servants, and class four employees either in government

or semi-government establishments. It is observed that 49.36 per cent of total slum

population is found working population. Out of the total working population about

63.95 per cent is male population and 36.05per cent is female population. (Table V-

It is observed that, out of the total working population of slum, highest

percentage of population is engaged as Laborers (i.e. 57.45 per cent), out of which

71.86 per cent is males and only28.14 per cent is female population. While lowest

percentage of total working population is engaged in Government or Semi-

Government services with 0.97 per cent, out of which 93.26 per cent is males and

While 4.05 per cent of the working population is engaged in collection of scraps and

other plastic things, in which the percentage of male population accounts for 79.45

per cent and 20.55 per cent of females workers. A very few percentage of working

population is observed in private services (2.17 per cent), Businesses (1.07 per cent)

and other workers (3.19 per cent).

It is observed that, the working activities are very different from slum to slum

occupation. The inter generation occupational mobility is observed in second

generation. The table V-XIII and Figure 5.9 gives clear idea about the occupational

structure of slums of Nashik city.

5.7.8 ECONOMIC STATUS:

needs of the people. It is observed that, the annual income of slum population is very

low as compare to other city residents. Here, an attempt has been made to study the

economic slums of Nashik city. The annual income of 10551 families have been

collected with the help of questionnaire and categorized into four groups for the

purpose of analysis.

It is observed that out of the total families, nearly 17.91 per cent families have

low annual income below Rs.30,000. It means these families have below Rs.25,00

income per month. Most of families are covered into second group of annual income

(i.e. Rs.40,000 to 30,000 income per annum) includes 45.25 per cent of families .

They have at least Rs.3,000 to 2500 income per month. Nearly 22.09 per cent families
