Delhi masterplan 2021 pdf

There are discrepancies here too, because while 46 District Centres will be needed by , and 10 exist currently, the Plan provides for only 23 more. Similarly, if one computes the requirements as per the norms, then the total land on which all the shopping centres, markets, and bazaars will be built by , amounts to a little under hectares.

In the case of the wholesale markets, the Plan desires to shift them out of the centre of the city to the periphery on the grounds of congestion. This may facilitate the mass loading and unloading of goods from facilities provided by the railways, but how they will eventually reach the consumer in different parts of the city is left unsaid. Furthermore, what will be the economic impact of this relocation on the trade and the eventual consumer is not analysed at all. Imrana Qadeer Health is an outcome of medical care and non-medical services and the latter is actually much more crucial than realised compared to the former.

The non-medical inputs into health are clean drinking water supply, sani- tation, housing, transport, work availability and wages etc. Only medical care does not ensure health. Scarcity of welfare services in some parts and over crowding in others does not appear to be of any concern to the master planners.

Unfortunately, health cannot be achieved without a balanced, equitable and comprehensive development of all parts of the city. The key issue then is the very vision of the future metropolis.

Must the city protect only its elite who thrive on share markets, commerce, trade and business and keep out of its boundaries, the increasing tide of migrants being forced to leave their land under the pressure of a shrinking agricultural economy? Should it be a city choked with flyovers and speeding cars where there is no space for pedestrians, where slum dwellers are either forced to move out or to live in ill maintained high rise buildings in commercialised zones earlier meant for residential purposes?

Can a city survive for long without a productive life of its own? On what basis the de-industrialisation of the city initiated by previous governments has been accepted by UPA government that claims commitment to employment generation and right of citizens to work where ever it is available?

Why does the MPD not envision a more plural Delhi with its variety both economic and cultural intact and its vitality derived from the inner capabilities of its citizens rather than the seekers of services, entertainment, business and new markets? The very vision of the Master Plan for Delhi as a city of the future is therefore flawed, unimaginative and a-historical.

All that the plan does is to attempt and fit the city in the space that is allocated to the metropolises in the so called less developed countries by the global powers without challenging or questioning the model that has failed the west itself. Planning for health requires careful assessment of database on resources such as land, water, technology, infrastructure, manpower etc.

A quick look at the database of the MPD shows that often the data used and the assumptions are not valid. This reveals the intent behind planning. Despite the rising population of Delhi that in was In addition there has been a shift away from industrialisation in the National Capital Territory NCT in the past one decade. Yet, the MPD- document projects consistent high rise of population, from It thus falsely projects a high population growth for NCT for a casual reader without mentioning the logic of these projections.

It neither takes into account the range of institutions existing in Delhi that are recorded in that particular document nor the iniquitous distribution of these institutions. There is no mention of the primary care institutions in the MPD except for the accepted norms for Maternity Homes and Family welfare centres along with mostly privately run diagnostic and geriatric and Paediatric institutions on which the state has no control nor does it express any need for it.

The infrastructures for running National disease control programmes or the existing Anganwadis are completely ignored. With such indifference to critical data what kind of planning exercise is possible is more than obvious. When the vision itself is limited, the data requirements are equally narrow. Therefore, the problems with the database are not the only inadequacy.

The very methodology used for planning calls for a revision of the planning exercise. Even if it is assumed that the sector plans are only broad guidelines and not the actually detailed plans, certain key lacunae cannot be ignored.

For example:?? The essential links between water supply, sanitation, housing and transport in supply and access to health facilities is not even mentioned what to talk about planning in areas according to specific needs.

There is no mention in the MPD as to how these organisations will improve their co-ordination and planning which has always been the bone of contention due to overlapping domains and responsibilities. The sketchy health sector plan is heavily biased in favour of the bio- medical model where only medical care gets the central space and all necessary supportive, preventive and primary level health care is ignored.

It is the secondary and tertiary medical care on which the plan focuses. As a consequence of this hi-tech perspective of health care, the MPD takes no note of the epidemiological specificities of this city where diseases such as Diarrhoea, Hepatitis, Cholera, Encephalitis, and Dengue fever are commonplace and require broader strategies for control.

They are rooted in its iniquitous and haphazard growth that is being handled by restricting growth but not actually correcting the structures. In other words, there is no concern about the epidemiological patterns of disease prevalence and morbidity- a primary requirement for problem definition- for which planning is being done. Hospitals occupying 0. Even within medical care, a system of service provisioning, closely linked, co-ordinated and responsive to all levels of medical needs is necessary.

In MPD however, there is no clarity about these. Even the public sector institutions are not visualised as regional systems built on referral links.

The general thrust is that the public private partnership would solve the health problems of the city as well as of other sectors. There is a huge private sector in the city ranging from single practitioner of all systems and untrained providers to the corporate medical sector.

There is no clarity that in this wide range, where the public private partnership will focus and what principles will guide it. As of today it is the tertiary level corporate hospitals that get all the concessions and not the primary providers of medical care.

It is obvious that corporate sector must not be given any state subsidy. That it is not accountable to the society but to its clients and that the present state machinery cannot control or monitor it. Private sector is not interested in primary health care for the poor. Without evaluating any successful partnerships and identifying the necessary conditions of that success, PPP is offered as a panacea of the ills of the health sector.

An example is the Apollo Hospital Enterprises network from Chennai which is reported to have made a profit of Rs Except for the three grades of hospitals, Family Welfare Centres, Maternity and Paediatric Centres, some private allopathic institutions, the non-allopathic providers, the not fully trained providers and the traditional providers such as TBAs who are very much a part of the health service system , are not even mentioned.

Do we assume then that these have no place in the future planning of Delhi? No strategy is spelt out in allocating land to the private and public sector. Since land is now being offered at commercial rates and the tertiary sector is growing fast, will there be a policy for ensuring minimum numbers of public sector primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in all districts of NCT?

Mool Chand hospital, for example, which started as an Ayurvedic hospital is now a full-fledged corporate hospital with Ayurvedic services completely marginalized. The Committee recommended strict compliance with penalisation for non compliance and a separate organisation within the health department to monitor all such hospitals and to ensure compliance but nothing came of it. These lacunae highlight the fact that the pro people perspective claimed, a hard factual analysis and all other elements of planning are missing from the MPD The health sector planning of the MPD is an irrational exercise to rationalise the unhealthy trend of fitting into the global agenda of Structural Adjustment and creating parasitic cities that poison their hinterland.

It certainly is not an exercise in the direction of enabling its citizens which calls for addressing all the issues outlined above. At the higher and professional education levels, there are colleges for general education, 8 engineering colleges, 4 universities, 7 deemed universities and 1 open university p The ILO estimate of child labour in Delhi is Pre-schooling The draft Plan document states that provision for pre-primary education exists in Delhi.

The exact number of pre-primary schools already in existence has not been indicated. However, around pre-primary schools do exist as part of primary schools with the MCD. In the private sector, there are no documented figures for pre-primary schools. It is well known that the private unaided schools begin with pre-primary stage.

But there is no regulation of either the fees charged or number of children. Besides, the social composition of the children these schools cater to is obviously middle and upper middle class. In recent years a large number of playschools have come up in existing residential homes, again not regulated in any manner. However, recently, the DDA indicated that there were around plots of land earmarked for pre-primary schools under the Plan and urged education department to start pre-primary schools.

The MCD, in turn has not shown any interest in starting pre-schools. These plots are now nearly wholly being taken over by private societies. Children from lower socio-economic strata are left completely bereft of pre-school education, gravely hampering their readiness for formal schooling, leading to dropping out of schooling later.

Lack of government- funded pre-schools also means that elder siblings are deprived of schooling because they are forced to look after the younger ones. The proposed Master Plan does not appear to have taken these aspects into consideration. There is urgent need to immediately freeze these plots for government-funded pre-schools.

Elementary Schools Given the 86th Constitutional Amendment making education for years age group compulsory and free, it is important that the Master Plan looks at the schooling requirements Delhi would need to meet this obligation. The availability and the type of schooling facility for this age group is given in Table 2.

This leaves As can be seen, government funding reaches only upto At present some attempts are being made to educate around 1. However, this Scheme has no provision for building or infrastructure. In any event, SSA is envisaged as a transitory measure, and it is expected that all children will be mainstreamed into regular formal schools in a period of years. There is at present no prospective planning as to how many classrooms and schools would be required and where these schools have to be situated to educate all children upto 14 years of age.

Even more important, the ratio of government funded and private fee funded schools needs to be fixed urgently. Otherwise, we will have a situation where the requisite number of schools may exist, but the facilities are cornered by those who can afford to pay high fees, while those who cannot are left without infrastructural facilities.

This quality gap is reflected, among others, in allotment, the design, delays in getting approvals etc. The Directorate of Education administers and arbitrates the Delhi School Education Act which includes both government and private schools. What percentage of children by age group in each district would not be able to afford fee paying schools, and hence would need government schools?

Are that many government schools available in each district? How can the free and compulsory education be provided otherwise? The second issue is with respect to allotment of land in areas where government schools are most needed. The general observation of policy makers is that in areas where population density is high land for building schools is not available.

It is pertinent to point out here, that the land constraint issue is so strongly embedded in the policy makers in the Department of Education that rather than build new schools, for the last years, the Department has been opening afternoon shift schools in the same premises.

The poor examination results and school participation in these schools, meant for boys, clearly show how ineffective these timings are for schooling. If, in all these years, new government schools had been built, the current pressure could have been avoided. Instead, precious plots were given to private schools who are ferrying children from elite neighborhoods of UP and Haryana to study in these schools.

One cannot help but be struck be the ways in which Delhi Metro and highways manage to obtain land in highly congested places, where seemingly, no space could possibly exist. The same ingenuity for finding space for government schools would be needed if children in Delhi were to be educated.

In conclusion, it must be remembered, that public spaces are the nearest equivalent of the Common Property Resources of the villages.

They are not just spaces for particular use, or revenue; they constitute the soul of the city. Equitable use of these spaces by all citizens builds civic sense, ownership, and ultimately, better, contributing citizens.

Recommendation as per Suggested amendment to the Draft Plan recommendation For e. This needs to be spelt out in the Plan In case of private schools, a percentage of children must be from weaker sections. Educational activities must not be for profit motive or commercial purpose. Educational, philanthropic and altruistic ethic must prevail even while classes are made sustainable and economically viable.

Educational institutions Subject to the condition that private 2 iii may be permitted to schools run at least one shift as per norms function in two shifts for the weaker sections At present challenged are they do not feature in the Master Plan. At this stage, health and care issues are not separable from education and cognitive development. The cruciality of this stage has been accepted by Delhi government, whose Social Welfare Department has Creche and day care schemes.

Space planning for these units does not feature in either education or social welfare. Neglect at early years will prove costly for the child in later years. When eventually land was allotted, only one plot of land was allotted to government school and remaining 11 plots went to private schools.

Even then the school could not be built as it was discovered that the plot was situated on a piece of land was in land prone to waterlogging. Since private schools mean high fees, schooling facilities for the marginalized groups become lesser and lesser. The DPS management requested the Education department to hand over part of the government school grounds to DPS which will develop the land and both sets of children, from government and DPS may benefit.

The government agreed. Today, there is a swimming pool and playground in that plot, for use only of DPS students, where government school children are not allowed in.

A wall has been built to ensure this! This experience also has implications whenever mixed land use and land sharing is being advocated. The MPD mentions that the additional power requirement would be met through local generation and the allocated share from the grid system. The concerned agencies need to augment the power supply and improve the transmission and distribution system.

Of the two page write up on power in the draft MPD more than half is devoted to emphasize the use of low energy consuming gadgets and non- conventional energy sources like recovering energy from sewerage, solar energy for street lighting, lighting at public places, open areas, traffic signals, hoardings etc. According to a report in the August issue of The Frontline private distributors had surplus power to draw from. So, why then is the city without electricity?

The inhabitants of the National Capital Territory of Delhi have reeled under power cuts every summer for decades. Delhi Power Company Ltd. This happened in the year At present there is no documentation regarding the details of the various commitments made by the Delhi Government. Hardly anything is available in the public domain and neither does the MPD throw any light on the various burning issues related to the privatization process. This information is crucial for understanding the performance of private companies and its implications for the consumers especially those on the lower end.

TATA and Reliance had initially bid below the minimum reserve price so their bidding was rejected. Later on instead of holding fresh bids, the involved parties entered into negotiations. After six weeks of bargaining they agreed on modified loss reduction targets.

The Comptroller and Auditor General CAG in its report for the year ending March observed that significant modifications and additions were made in the transfer scheme. The audit said that changes were not submitted to the competent authority i. G for approval. The CAG report suggested that the government might obtain post-facto approval of the L. So how can this deal be valid without the sanction of the L.

The population holding capacity of A to H zones is to be improved through a redevelopment plan and revised development norms.

This will be related to:. Existing residential areas may give a potential to house about lakh population ultimately i. Note: Population figures are only broad planning guidelines. The remaining population for the year will have to be adjusted in the planned new urban extensions. Out of the remaining 77 lakh lakh population, 29 lakh already exists in villages, census towns, unauthorized colonies and JJ clusters in the present rural areas.

Since about 48 lakh further population is to be housed in the future urban extensions. Land in the Urban Extension is recommended to be broadly shared in different land uses in the following manner as shown in Table. As per Delhi Master Plan , on average the space needed per person would be 40 sq.

As per the proposal under which household industrial unit with a maximum of 9-workers and 11KW power operating in residential areas and new industrial units will not need to take necessary statutory approvals from the labor and industries department or the Delhi Pollution Control Board with the condition that polluting industrial units will be permitted as a household industry.

Additionally, the proposal to change the mode of disposal of institutional category plots from leasehold to freehold basis was also approved. The change of land use for developing eco-parks was also approved. To make Delhi greener and pollution-free, the authority approved a final proposal to change the land use of Land-use planning is an attempt to plan land uses such that the requirements of one does not interfere with the other.

For example, commercial establishments usually operate until late at night and if permitted in residential zones will tend to disturb the tranquility and pollution levels of the environment.

Since the sealing activities caused major uproar and outrage, the DDA came up with some amendments in the Master Plan, in order to provide relief to the traders and local shopkeepers of the city. Major amendments in the MPD, are as follows In September , the Delhi Development Authority DDA has proposed amendment in the Master Plan of Delhi under which banks lockers, if part of an existing bank, will be allowed in the basements of its premises.

The authority also approved a proposal for modification in the development control norms under which training Centre for yoga, spiritual activities, and meditation, museum or art gallery or exhibition center, auditorium, accommodation for preachers, devotees or management staff, canteen, restaurant, langar hall or community kitchen, and bank extension counter, ATM facility or prayer halls are allowed in religious plots at sub-city level.

Delhi, the political capital of India, is assuming increasing eminence among the best cities in the world. The city plays an important part in national governance, business, culture, education and sports in India.

The population of Delhi in was lakh as against the Master Plan Delhi — projection of lakh. This has had its inevitable implications and impact in terms of shelter, including squatter settlements, and other infrastructure facilities. Planning for physical infrastructure, transport, ecology and environment, housing, socio-cultural and other institutional facilities is vital in developing Delhi as a world-class city. This needs a co-ordinated and integrated approach amongst several agencies involved with urban services and development along with a participatory planning process at local levels.

Vision of Delhi Master Plan is to make Delhi a global metropolis and a world-class city, where all the people would be engaged in productive work with a better quality of life, living in a sustainable environment. This will, amongst other things, necessitate:.

In , about sq km of area was estimated to have been built up, accommodating about lakh population. In order to accommodate the projected population of lakh by the year , a three-pronged strategy is recommended in delhi master plan Population holding capacity of A to H zones is to be enhanced through a redevelopment strategy and modified development norms. The remaining population for the year will have to be accommodated in the planned new urban extensions. Out of the remaining 77 lakh lakh population, 29 lakh already exists in villages, census towns, unauthorised colonies and JJ clusters in the present rural areas.

Therefore about 48 lakh additional population is to be accommodated in the future urban extensions. While the Committee noted that acqu land totaling up to 69, acr cquisition of land for planned development is an ongoing process, they were concerne ned to note that A lands are under encroachment by JJ clusters.
