Executive Summary
The Urban Administration and Development Department (UADD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) has launched an initiative to support 5 Municipal councils, 245 Nagar Parishads and 30 urban centers in the state in preparing City Development Plans (CDPs). This initiative aims to provide a comprehensive Medium Term Strategy (25 years) and a City Investment Plan (CIP) for each Urban Local Body, based on which the concerned ULB will be able to access funds under schemes of Government of India (GoI) and GoMP as well as from its own sources for implementation of priority actions and projects, identified from this exercise. The document was also envisaged to provide a Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilizing various financial resources to implement the identified projects, adhering to the JNNURMs CDP preparation toolkit and keeping in view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by Town and Country Planning Department. In this regard, MPUADD retained ICRA Management Consulting Services Limited (IMaCS) for assistance in preparation of City Development Plans for Rehti town.
Opportunities Strong agricultural base would help in engaging people/ youth in agriculture sector by providing sufficient growth opportunities in this field. Region is rich in natural resources exforest products can be harnessed Nearby rivers can help in augmentation of water in the town as well development of recreational space for the residents of the town
Threats Low literacy rate shows inadequate educational institutes/ lack of awareness among the people
As of 2011 (Provisional Data Census 2011), Rehti has a population of 11,616. Although the details for 2011 are not available, but referring to Census details of 2001, the work participation rate was City Development Plan - Rehti iv
28.4% (2001) which was very low as compared to national rate of 39% and state rate of 42.7%. Literacy rate is 71 % which is very high as compared to National Literacy Rate 64.84% of and states literacy rate of 63.74%. Currently, the sex ratio of the town is 919, which is far above than national level of sex ratio of 940 and higher than states sex ratio of 930. Rehtis inhabitants are primarily agriculturalists.

To achieve the desired vision, Sector goals and detailed strategies have been formulated for 1) Physical Infrastructure, 2) Social Infrastructure, 3) Economic Development, 4) Environment, 5) Urban Poor and 6) Urban Governance and Institutional Development.
MLD of generated sewage. This DEWAT system takes into care the demand generated in the year 2035. The advantages of DEWAT system are that; it requires minimum space and hence can be accommodated easily under paved pathways and parking lots etc. or small available spaces; it requires lesser operational cost; it promotes the reuse of water for non-potable purposes; it can be easily blended with the landscape; It cannot be switched off so it ensures efficient working irrespective of external factors and it can treat waste water with high fat, suspended solids and BOD. Since this system is decentralized, the zones would be defined as per population and location and the treatment system would be developed to safely dispose-off the sewage. The treated water can be used for agricultural use. Sanitation Public Convenience Systems: To provide safe and sufficient sanitation facilities to the citizens, mainly slum dwellers, around 57 more public toilet seats need to be added to the existing infrastructure in Rehti by 2015. Solid Waste Management Primary Collection: Augmentation of primary collection involves capacity addition in equipments used in the waste collection including community bins. As per the demand assessment, on a priority need, additional 16 handcarts would be needed for short term horizon and additional 22 handcarts would be needed for long term horizon. Also currently, the practice being followed includes a majority of residents dumping waste outside their houses, or in drains/ vacant land or at the designated collection point/ dustbin. This results in scattering of waste which results in poor collection. To achieve an effective waste collection, practice of door-to-door collection should be initiated which needs to be supported by necessary awareness generation programmes and capacity building of the staff. Secondary Collection: Secondary collection involves transportation of waste from collection points to the disposal site. At present, secondary collection is carried out by tractors. These tractors are unable to collect the waste from the internal narrow streets. On a priority, secondary collection system should be strengthened to carry out waste transportation in an effective manner. All the waste transportation vehicles should be covered to avoid the spilling of waste. By 2015, 3 tractors would be required if one tractor is making one trip a day and by 2035 also 3 tractors would needed. Development and augmentation of the landfill site: The demand-gap assessment reveals the generation of 4.92 MT of waste in the town by 2035 against the current generation of 2.5 MT. The current available disposal site has 5 acres area which is sufficient till 2035. The collected waste is just dumped at the site without any treatment or segregation. The dumping site would have to be well-equipped to ensure proper waste segregation and composting facilities. In addition, the dumping site would need to be provided with the basic facilities of compound walls, BT/CC approach road, electrification, which has already been done in the town. The composting and segregation would help in some revenue generation for Nagar Parishad. It is proposed to develop the landfill site by 2015. Development of VermiCompost Plant: It is proposed to dispose the waste generated through Vermi composting which involves the stabilization of organic solid waste through earthworm consumption which converts the material into worm castings. The composting and segregation would help in some revenue generation for Nagar Parishad and it will also reduce waste amount to be dumped in the landfill site.

Drainage Construction of storm water drains: The Nagar Parishad should undertake the construction of Pucca Open and Pucca closed drains in phased manner. This construction may be done in relation to the construction/up-gradation of roads. These construction activities would have to be carried out on an immediate basis to address the existing and future demand-supply gap. In short-term, 29.07 km of new drains need to be developed and addition of 17.41 km of network needs to be done beyond 2015. Up-gradation of existing drains: The Nagar Parishad is also required to undertake drain upgradation works for the existing drains in town. In the short term, 12.5 km of existing open drains should be upgraded to Pucca open or closed drains. Development of Root Zone Treatment System (RZTS): It is observed that the sewage flowing through nallahs enter rivers in untreated condition and create heavy risk of river pollution. Storm water can be treated as well with RZTS after removal of settle able substances. It is a low-cost and maintenance free option that uses the capacity of plants (especially certain reeds hence also called reedbed technology) to absorb contaminants and structurally modify them for treating water. It is based on the principle of attached growth biological reactors similar to conventional trickling filters with combination of aerobic and anaerobic zones. The contaminants present in the wastewater are treated as they seep through the root-zone of the plants by a combination of plants, soil bacteria and hydraulic flow systems resulting in physical, chemical, and microbiological processes. Oxygen present in the zone facilitates the degradation of wastewater. A wide variety of microorganisms present in the root-zone of the plants results in efficient removal. There is efficient reduction of pathogens also by percolation through the bed material. Thus, it can be developed in Rehti along storm water drains. Traffic and Transportation Road Construction: To address the current gap of per capita road length, and the future demand, the Nagar Parishad does not require any new road formation up to 2015, but would need around 7.4km of additional road by 2035. The Nagar Parishad should on a priority basis, identify the stretches and areas where roads at present do not exist and or have poor connectivity. Also the areas where future residential growth is anticipated or planned, road construction can be undertaken. Signalization and Signages: The arterial road passes through the town connecting National Highway with many villages. This may increase the flow of vehicles on the road in the future. This endangers the pedestrians crossing the road. Thus there is need for signalization and proper signages at few points. Parking Spaces and Bus Stand: With the growing number of vehicles and increasing commercial activities in the town, issue of lack of parking spaces becomes much more relevant. The consultations with stakeholders have concluded that parking spaces can be developed near the key commercial areas of the town. Street Lighting & Fire Fighting Addition of Streetlights: The Nagar Parishad needs to install a total of 559 street lights by 2015 and 186 street lights to match the demand of 2035. Energy Saving: Rehti Nagar Parishad should replace all the tube lights with CFLs. A small exercise was conducted to evaluate the benefits of the replacement of tube lights with CFLs in the
ix
town. It was observed that Rehti Nagar Parishad would save around Rs. 312,500/ annum in electricity bill. Fire Fighting: To ensure a safety against fires, Nagar Parishad should also undertake the construction of fully equipped fire stations. Health Primary Health Centre: As per the UDPFI guidelines, the city needs bed capacity of 26 by year 2015 and 32 by 2025 and 41 by 2035. At present, city has 14 beds. The hygiene of the hospital is very poor and the basic infrastructure is not good. A separate project should be undertaken to revamp the hospital in all respect. Nursing Home: According to the estimates, a nursing home with bed capacity of 14 is required for the town in 2035. Dispensary: The primary health institutions always play a key role in determining the overall health scenario of a place. Keeping it in the mind, 1 dispensary has been proposed in the town which should start functioning by year 2015. Education Primary Schools: The goal in this sector is to achieve 100% literacy rate in the city. This would require 5 more number of schools by 2015and 8 primary schools by 2035. Senior Secondary Schools: 2 Senior Secondary Schools will be required by 2015 and 1 additional would be required till 2035. The present Government Secondary Schools lack infrastructure facilities and are in need of up-gradation. Other Social Infrastructure Facilities Community Hall: Community hall and library should be constructed in the city. Parks: At present there is only one open ground which is used for multi-purpose functions. The vacant land banks in the city should be identified and developed as parks to serve the dual purpose of increasing the green cover in the city and providing citizens with open spaces for recreation. Urban Poor Prepare a Slum Free City plan Comprehensive slum mapping and need for housing Environment Air Quality: Periodic monitoring and review is essential to check air quality. Suitable plantations or green cover should be provided on major routes to supplement better air quality. This would partially be addressed by the development of Parks in the town and a massive tree plantation drive. Water Pollution: Efforts/schemes should be designed to check the diversion of sewage flow into the existing drains. Decentralized sewage treatment can be considered on the basis of have low cost and environment friendly system. Ground Water Recharge: A critical issue that needs to be addressed on the priority basis is the development of green spaces within the town limits to enhance the overall quality of the environment.
Green Spaces: A critical issue that needs to be addressed on the priority basis is the development of green spaces within the town limits to enhance the overall quality of the environment. Economic Development Development of Commercial Areas: This can further be divided into development of new commercial areas and up gradation of existing commercial areas. New commercial areas can include dedicated markets for important commodities or general markets. In addition to the development of new markets, existing markets can be upgraded to increase their capacity and provide better services to the users and customers. Development Herbal Manufacturing Units: With the objective of diversifying the economic base of Rehti city, the existing herbal manufacturing unit should be developed. This would give thrust to the employment generation activities which would result in the overall upliftment of the society in the town. Development of Hawkers Zone: Depending on the land availability and market demand, hawkers zones should be developed near Salkanpur Temple. Hawkers zone would provide dedicated space to the hawkers and hence reduce congestion in the temple premises. Organization of Trade Fairs and Other Exhibitions: With the objective of attracting private investments, trade fairs and other exhibitions should be organized at regular intervals in the city. This would help in showcasing Rehtis potential. Urban Governance Capacity Building: There is a need for training of the existing staff and new staff to increase the work productivity. Workshops and awareness programmes can be conducted. Computerization: Rehti Nagar Parishad should initiate the process of computerization in its administration. Computerization will benefit most of functions ranging from municipal accounting to tax management. The introduction of E-Governance will help in smoothening the processes and thereby resulting in improvement in the efficiency. GIS Mapping: A GIS mapping of the city properties will be very helpful in the provision of efficient services to the citizens. This would also help in keeping a tab on tax evaders.

Base Investment Capacity Base Investment Capacity is estimated considering business as usual case, where Rehti Nagar Parishad has not taken any grant under UIDSSMT scheme and has not done any reforms to increase their revenue income. At this scenario the Parishad will be able to sustain only 12.30 % of the total investment identified for year 2015. With reforms in Property Tax, Water Charges and Sewerage charges This case assumes the reforms in property tax, Water and Sewerage have been implemented and accordingly the investment capacity has increased by Rs. 3.52 Crore above the base investment capacity. These reforms will increase the total sustainable capacity to 14.90%. Reforms (without debt Funding) This case assumes that all the reforms suggested above are being implemented and other grants are also availed. In this scenario Nagar Parishads sustainable capacity will increase to 53.20%, which is 40.90% in addition to base case. Now Nagar Parishad will be able to sustain investment of about Rs. 12.58 Crore. Reforms along with debt Funding This case assumes that Nagar Parishad can increase their sustainable capacity by taking debt from any financial institution or private banks in addition to the implementation of reforms suggested above. In this scenario Nagar Parishad can sustain up to 54.40% of the total investment identified, which is 1.20 % more than without debt funding scenario.

1. Introduction
1.1. Background
Madhya Pradesh is urbanizing at a fast rate and the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the state are facing the challenge of meeting the requirements of the growing population with limited technical and financial resources. The Government of India (GoI) and Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) have initiated a number of programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery. These include both GoI schemes [including Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP)] and GoMP initiated schemes [such as the Madhya Pradesh Urban Services for the Poor (MPUSP), a DFID assisted program, which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the poor. After the assessment of the performance of the ULBs and their capacity for exploiting the above said resources it was felt that such a plan is essential, not only for accessing GoI/GoMP funding but also for providing a strategic framework for converging and co-coordinating various development inputs towards positioning the city on a development path. Therefore, the Urban Administration and Development Department (UADD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) has launched an initiative to support 5 Municipal councils, 245 Nagar Parishads and 30 urban centers in the state in preparing City Development Plans (CDPs). This initiative aims to provide a comprehensive Medium Term Strategy (25 years) and a City Investment Plan (CIP) for each Urban Local Body, based on which the concerned ULB will be able to access funds under schemes of Government of India (GoI) and GoMP as well as from its own sources for implementation of priority actions and projects, identified from this exercise. The document was also envisaged to provide a Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilizing various financial resources to implement the identified projects, adhering to the JNNURMs CDP preparation toolkit and keeping in view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by Town and Country Planning Department. The 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. It is also expected that the CDP would provide Urban Reform Action Plan for the ULBs as envisaged under JNNURM. In this regard, MPUADD retained ICRA Management Consulting Services Limited (IMaCS) for assistance in preparation of City Development Plans for Rehti town.
22
The CDP will generate specific priority actions and projects that can be the basis for mobilizing funding from diverse sources.
1.3.1. Inception
The purpose of this stage is to review and analyze the current status and unique features of the town with regard to the state of its development, systems and procedures, as equally its institutional and financial context. This stage is meant to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the citys development and to provide an understanding of what impedes service delivery and management within the existing set-up and what contributes to better service provision. This task will consist of:
Reconnaissance
The Consultant will spend their first week with reconnaissance activities, including: Introductory meetings with the Mayor/President, Municipal Commissioner/Chief Municipal Officer, Heads of Departments, Councillors, representatives of ongoing urban programmes, etc. Determine feasibility and composition of a city level Steering Group (comprising of Citizen forum) for the CDP Citizen forum shall be formed comprising of 15 eminent persons from different walks of life. Obtain base maps, and available secondary data on the cit ys demographics, master plan, reports prepared under past and current urban development programmes, ULBs annual budget reports, other reports giving status of service delivery, and other relevant documents on heritage listing, data on slums and urban poor, government policy documents, etc. Identify the line departments and key stakeholders for urban service delivery and development such as PHED, Town and Country Planning Department, Development Authority, SADA, local chamber of commerce, NGOs, CBOs, religious organizations, financial institutions, commerce and industry etc. Field reconnaissance to determine growth patterns of the city, characteristics of slums and environmentally sensitive areas etc. Identify economic opportunities and blocks in tapping these (eg. Tourism, industry etc.) Mapping : Preparation of City level base maps using Auto-CAD/GIS
23
City level planning and service providing agencies viz., ULB, Town and Country Planning Department, Development Authority, SADA etc. Line Departments of the state government such as pollution control board, health department, tourism department, PHED, PWD, Traffic and Transportation etc Private sector agencies such as chambers of commerce and industry, Non-governmental and community based organizations Representatives of the poor communities Representatives of ongoing urban development programmes Representatives of media, academic institutions, etc.
Inception report
At the completion of this phase the consultants will present their preliminary analysis, methodology in an Inception report. Based on their preliminary analysis, consultations and workshop the consultants will propose special papers (maximum 2) on specific sectors or issues and propose the names of specialists (approved by the client) who may be commissioned to prepare the same as a part of the sector analysis/survey. The inception report will be presented to the Steering Group, who will identify individuals/institutions/working group who will be the local counterparts for the different sectors.
City profile
The findings from the sector analysis would be used to prepare the City Profile consisting of the assessment of the existing situation in all the sectors identified, emerging issues, SWOT analysis and projection of the present gaps and future requirements. This will be done within the framework of parameters relating to demography, economic base, finance, physical and environmental issues, infrastructure, institutions and universalisation of services especially for the poor. City Development Plan - Rehti 24
Sector strategies
The Consultants will continue to work in consultation with the local counterparts to develop sector strategies in consonance with the city vision and sector goals. At this stage, Consultants will need to review the relevant cases of national and international best practices and explore if the same can be applied in relevant sectors to bring in improved and efficient ways of working.
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).
Performance Monitoring
The Consultants, in consultation with the ULB will identify performance-monitoring/sustainability indicators to assist ULB to review the progress and outcomes of the CDP on an annual basis and to enable them in setting the agenda for the future.
1.4. Approach
The City Development Plan (CDP) is the Nagar Parishads strategy that presents both a vision of a desired future perspective for the town and the Parishads organization, and mission statements on how the Nagar Parishad, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving the short term and long-term vision. CDP should be very comprehensive and should cover all the aspects where town needs intervention. To achieve a comprehensive CDP, we have adopted few guiding principles as discussed below.
As advised by MPUADD, the 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 in terms of the structure and process outlined in the toolkit along with integration with current initiatives for developing a strategic framework for development agenda in the next 25 year time horizon.
Citizen forum shall be formed comprising of 15 eminent persons from different walks of life. Obtain base maps, and available secondary data on the citys demographics, master plan, reports prepared under past and current urban development programmes, ULBs annual budget reports, other reports giving status of service delivery, and other relevant documents on heritage listing, data on slums and urban poor, government policy documents, etc. Identify the line departments and key stakeholders for urban service delivery and development such as PHED, Town and Country Planning Department, Development Authority, SADA, local chamber of commerce, NGOs, CBOs, religious organizations, financial institutions, commerce and industry etc. Field reconnaissance to determine growth patterns of the city, characteristics of slums and environmentally sensitive areas etc. Identify economic opportunities and blocks in tapping these (eg. Tourism, industry etc.) Mapping : Preparation of City level base maps using Auto-CAD/GIS This module will culminate in conduct of a one-day kick off workshop with stakeholders. The purpose of the kick-off workshop would be build participative energy and commitment of stakeholders for the study through articulation of the purpose, process, and expected outcomes of the CDP, and achieving a shared understanding of the same. 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. Further the institutional structures including the Steering Group for the consultative process will also be spelt out during this workshop. Following the workshop, we would submit an Inception Report and follow it up with a presentation to MPUADD and the ULB.
28
29
In addition, we would have a significant on-the-ground interaction effort through our research and support staff to compile data and information from the cities. From our experience in handling such studies, very often it is critical to spend substantial time with ULB staff/do sample based field visits given the data and information availability related limitations. Such interactions enable us capture qualitative insights and serve to provide surrogate inputs to validate and overcome the generally faced limitations of data availability. For instance, we tend to collect budget documents at the beginning at the study and do the analysis of financials in parallel. A time period wise analysis of revenue and costs along with their drivers enable us to spot data discrepancies in the initial stages and help us to identify areas where greater time is required for data collection/scrutiny. Similarly in the area of service levels benchmarking, we tend to do a physical reconnaissance of municipal assets to validate reports made available to us. For instance, we typically do visits to select water distribution stations to assess the validity of the broader service level reports generated. We concur with the activities and steps identified by MPUADD in the Terms of Reference in moving from a Situation Assessment to formulate the City Vision and translating that to Sector strategies and priority projects. Some specifics of our approach along each of these steps are described below:
Sector Analysis
We would choose the specific sectors/issues for preparing detailed sectoral papers, based on the criticality of the sector (as viewed by the stakeholders) and the baseline status of the prevailing service levels in that city. While the exact list of sectors would be finalized following consultations, an indicative list of sectors that tend to come out as critical areas include the following: a) Water Supply b) Sanitation and Sewerage c) Solid Waste Management d) Urban Housing e) Public Transportation f) Social amenities and infrastructure including Schools, Hospitals, Markets
g) Heritage & Tourism We expect the sector level analysis to cover the following steps. a) Review the baseline status of the sector in terms of operational service level and financial indicators vis-a-vis benchmarks/norms and desired levels of service to arrive at the normative gaps. b) Identify the possible alternatives for improving service levels, policy changes/implications and the magnitude of investment required to improve service levels in a time-bound manner. c) Develop a sector strategy, targets for service level improvement and a list of potential priority projects to be undertaken along with an expected level of improvement in service levels through implementation of these projects. These steps would be undertaken in consultation with local counterparts and will be supported by special papers commissioned by the TA team. While carrying out the sector level analysis, aspects
30
relating to the need for provisioning for urban poor, broad review of cost-benefits including social and environmental impacts would be factored.
City Profile
In profiling the City and crystallizing its SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat), we would look at slightly wider issues beyond sectoral dimensions to cover the following: Spatial growth patterns and drivers Economic growth drivers - intrinsic and potential Infrastructure - Physical and Social Issues relating to Environment sustainability Extent of Urban Poor and their requirements Institutional Capacity gaps and requirements. As can be observed, the idea is to get an over-arching and a holistic idea of the towns future growth directions (both economic and spatial) to understand the implications for physical infrastructure and administrative capacity building needed to support this growth. The city profiles would also then draw from the Sector analysis and provide an assessment of the existing situation in all the sectors identified, emerging issues, analysis and projection of the present gaps and future requirements. This will be done within the framework of parameters relating to demography, economic base, finance, physical and environmental issues, infrastructure, institutions and universalization of services especially for the poor.
City Vision
Exhibit 1-2 presents an extract from the JNNURM Toolkit on the aspects to be considered in developing a Citys Vision which we believe summarizes the key contours of a City level Vision formulation quite succinctly. The City Profile will be presented to the stakeholders and Steering Group followed with a discussion on city perspective and city priorities as perceived by the stakeholders. With the background of city profile, perspective and priorities, the participants will contribute to developing a collective and shared vision for the city. Discussion will be initiated on strategies, priorities and major actions that may be required in the next fifteen years to move towards the vision.
Exhibit 1-2: Developing a City Vision (Source: JNNURM Toolkit)
Developing a vision for the city is central to the preparation of a CDP. A vision is a statement of where the city wishes to go, within a given timeframe, 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 citys residents, relationship of the city to the 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, and design strategies to accordingly shape the future. All objectives, strategies, programmes and projects must be aligned with the vision of the city. Developing a common vision requires a significant effort of consensus building in order to balance the competing demands arising from different economic infrastructure sectors, as also from different interest groups within the city. In order to achieve an understanding on a common vision, it is useful to choose milestones and targets such as provision of a minimum level of services to all; public disclosure and transparency in the formulation of budget proposals; introduction of a single window in City Development Plan - Rehti 31
matters of service delivery and management and the like. In developing the vision, cities must choose a set of criteria that are directly relevant to the JNNURM components. It is important that when cities define outcomes and milestones on the vision, they ensure that these are measurable and have a time frame.
Needless to mention the 5 year action plan would involve an iterative process and would factor inputs from consultations with stakeholders on priority projects to be taken up in consonance with the City Vision, Sector wise strategy and service level targets.

Sehore stands in the foothills of Vindhyachal Range in the middle of Malwa region. The most of the area is made of undulating plateau surface and is covered with black soils of different grades. Due to this it has got good productive soil.
2.4.2. Drainage
Navej River is the main river passing through the town from south west direction to north-east direction. Other nallahs also pass in the same direction which forms the municipal boundaries of the towns. The Chambal basin valley constituents an area of about 3108 sq.km. which falls in the entire Ashta block. The southern part of the district falls under Narmada Basin and its catchment area. The area along the western boundary of district, along which Parbati River flows, forms a valley. The southern boundary is also bounded by semi hilly area, the Sip River flows in the southern part of the district.
2.4.3. Temperature
There is no meteorological observatory in Sehore district. The nearest meteorological observatory is at Bairagarh where similar conditions prevail. The winter season starts from end of November & ends till last week of February. January is the coldest month in the year. The average normal minimum temperature during the month is about 10.4C. The individual day temperature comes as low as 1 or 2 C. From March onwards, the temperature starts rising and maximum temperature is observed during the month of May. The average normal maximum temperature is 40.7 C. The individual day temperature is as high as 45 or 46 C. The weather becomes pleasant on the arrival of monsoons. In October during the retreating of monsoon the temperature rises slightly during the day time and the nights become pleasant. The average annual normal temperature of Sehore district is 31.4 C. During the southwest monsoon the relative humidity is generally high exceeding about 88% in August. Humidity decreases in the post monsoon season. The driest part of the year is the summer season with the humidity going down to 26% or less. The annual normal relative humidity of the district is 57%.

As Rehti is a small town and has underdeveloped infrastructure facilities and insufficient employment opportunities, the growth is a bit stagnant at the moment. However, with the proposed interventions (suggested in this CDP), it is expected that the population growth will be a bit higher post 2015. Hence, for the purpose of estimating future population, incremental increase method for population projection has been found most appropriate as compared to the other methods. This has been taken considering amongst other interventions; slum up-gradation and employment opportunity, which will restrict people to migrate to larger cities and will result in a relatively higher population growth with improvement in the city infrastructure which improve the quality of life of the population of the town.

3.6. Issues
As discussed above there are 5 notified slums in the town which inhabit 3391 population of the town, constituting about 29% of the total population of the town. Therefore it is important to propose and develop adequate physical and social infrastructure for current and future needs of the slum population. A higher proportion of females among the illiterates indicate lower attention paid to female education. The population growth rate over the past decade of 2001-2011 has reduced, mainly because of the less employment opportunities in the town and its surroundings.
3.7. Conclusion
This chapter discussed population growth trend and population density of the town. It was followed by the analysis of other demographic indicators and ward-wise populations. The chapter ended with population projections for next 25 years. The next chapter deals with the socio-economic profile of the town.

In 2001, the workforce participation rate of the town was 28.4% which was very low as compared to national rate of 39% and state rate of 42.7%. Other than this, it is very much observable that around 37% of the workers are involved in agricultural pursuits, which includes both cultivators as well as agricultural laborers. Workers engaged in other services also account for a large proportion (60%). Almost 72% of the workers fall under Other Workers category. The type of workers that come under Other Worker category include all government servants, municipal employees, teachers, factory workers, plantation workers, those engaged in trade, commerce, business, transport banking, mining, construction, political or social work, priests, entertainment artists, etc. Agriculture and related activities Agriculture is a strong economic base in this region. Rehti has a Krishi Upaj Mandi (category C) which occupies an area of 5.6 hectares. The produce from region is exported to surrounding areas as well as throughout the state.
Sehore Forest Division. Raw materials are collected by primary cooperative society members from nearby forest areas, which are then, after primary processing, are converted into various type of herbal products at the processing units. The activities identified under Rehti natural resources project include- training and capacity building of self-help groups in resource augmentation, good collection and harvesting practices, processing and value addition, quality packaging and production, market linkages, network and brand building.
4.2.7. Tourism
Rehti is famous for Salkanpur temple which is located at a distance of 4 kms in the east of town.This temple is visited by pilgrims throughout the year. The temple caters to lot of tourists during yearly fairs and festivals. Sehore Railway Station on the Bhopal-Ujjain rail route caters to the pilgrims coming to this temple. The nearest major railhead of Bhopal Junction Railway Station is situated to the east of Sehore. Sehore Bus Station is the nearest bus terminal.
4.3. Issues
Rich natural resource base in the region which has given rise to the manufacturing of herbal products in Rehti has not been explored optimally. The average household size is 5.3. It can also be seen that household size is higher than 5 in wards 3, 4, 9, 10 and 15. These wards are majorly inhabited by slum population in Awas Colony, Langa Mohalla, Footi Bawri Area, Old Hospital Area and Patwa Colony. Work participation rate is 28.4% as per census 2001 which is very low as compared with the state data i.e. 42.7% and national data i.e. 39%.
4.4. Conclusions
This chapter dealt with various aspects of socio-economic profile of the town such as sex ratio, literacy rate, average household size, work participation rate, socio-economic base and trade & commerce. The discussion was then followed by an analysis of critical issues in this area. The next chapter talks about physical planning and growth management in Rehti.

broad estimated land use has been shown in Map 9 (Annexure 4), which represents the future growth of the town spatially. The people and officials feel that their expansion has suffered because of no major source of employment other than agriculture. Thus, in the past few years, Rehti has missed on the opportunity for further development and employment generation. Rehti has Salkanpur temple which is a major tourist destination and thereby provides a great opportunity for economic development. The existing herbal manufacturing unit has also not developed to its potential.
5.4. Issues
The population densities in the core area are substantially high and are near to the permissible limits as prescribed in the UDPFI guidelines as compared to other wards. Initiatives should be taken for provision of infrastructure facilities in core wards in order to cater to maximum number of residents. The irregular and unorganized development in the town has increased and has degraded the quality of life. There is a need to prepare a master plan for regulated land development and proper management and development of the town.
5.5. Conclusions
This chapter dealt with the spatial growth trend and past trend on Rehtis expansion in its existing state. The ward maps and land use pattern and housing scenario have also been discussed in detail. The chapter ended with a brief note about the growth possibilities.

As per the discussions held with Rehti Nagar Parishad it is seen that there are total 565 water supply connections, out of which 88% are domestic connections and 11% are public taps and 1% are under commercial connections. Refer Exhibit 6-1 and for distribution of water supply connections. It is also observed that there is a flat tariff of Rs. 50 for domestic connections, Rs. 75 for non-domestic connections and Rs. 600 for a new connection. The DCB statement in Exhibit 6- indicates the average current collection performance to be 53 %, whereas overall collection performance including arrears is 26 %...

fluctuation ranges from 0.85m to 3.0 m. The yield of wells in this formation varies from 1 to 3 lps. Major portion of alluviam occurs along narmada river falling in Budni block and small linear patches occur along parbati river in the western side of the district. It majorly consists of clay, sand, silt, gravel and pebbles. The yield of wells in this formation varies from 5 to 10 lps. The remaining portion in the district falls under Deccan trap formation which covers 85% of the total area of district. The yield of wells in this formation varies from 1 to 5 lps. The quality of ground water in the district has been assessed by central ground water board by analyzing ground water samples in the district. From the samples it is observed that PH values of all water samples vary between 7.27-8.07 which shows alkaline nature of the water in the district. Ground water in the district is generally low to high saline as electrical conductivity varies from 465 to 2100. Highest EC values (exceeding 1000) have been found in Ashta (2100) and Bhikhileri (1830) villages. Nitrate level in Sehore district varies from 5.6 to 358 mg/l. The concentration of nitrate exceeding 45 mg/l has been found in Ashta (358 mg/l), Bhaya (59 mg/l) and Jattakheda (51 mg/l). The excessive concentration of nitrate levels may be due to localized pollution or excessive use of fertilizers in the district. The hardness of ground water in the district has been found safe except in Ashta (705) which crosses the limit of 600 as per BIS standards. The study also analyzed that the district has no problem with the fluoride since all wells have fluoride less than 1.5 ppm. No arsenic content has been detected in the ground water of the district.

It is evident from the Exhibit above that Rehti needs a major revamping in Water Supply sector as current level of service, 43 lpcd, fails to full fill the current demand of the town. The huge gap in the water supply area by the year 2015 well underscores the above point. By the end of year 2035, Rehti would require 2.18 MLD of water i.e. an addition of around 0.46 MLD to the capacity in year 2015. Rehti also falls behind in meeting the standards of UDPFI guidelines in the area of storage capacity w.r.t. supply. The town also requires a treatment plant to treat the raw water.
Opportunities
Metered connections could be a major source of revenue to the municipality Improvement in the level of service by augmenting daily supply of water and storage capacity. Installation of treatment plants to improve the quality of drinking water. Wastage of water in terms of supply and transmission could result in economic loss to the municipality. Dependence on Tube-wells for water supply leads to exploitation of underground water. Unwillingness charges. of users to pay water
Weaknesses
Poor maintenance infrastructure of water supply
Threats
20% of water is getting wasted on supply and transmission Lack of proper water treatment facilities Lack of continuous(24X7) supplyUnmetered water connections
6.1.6. Issues
Lack of water treatment plant in the town. Unmetered water connections in Rehti
53
Rehti has 15 wards with a population of 11616 in 2011, and as per the guidelines 135 lpcd of water is required but in Rehti only 43 lpcd is available, thus creating a huge gap between the demand and supply of potable water in the town. The water augmentation scheme implemented is not satisfactory as the water demands of the people are not catered adequately.
6.2. Sewerage
As envisaged in the 12 schedule of 74 Amendment to the Constitution of India, responsibility of providing services pertaining to sewerage and sanitation within the city limits lie with ULBs.

The above Exhibit 6- summarizes the current status and Demand-Supply Gap analysis for Sewerage & Sanitation provided by Rehti Municipality. The Exhibit also provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service with level of service desired under the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines.
Opportunities
Provision of better services to slum and by improving the sanitation facilities of the city. Tertiary treatment of the sewage water and re-using for the municipal purposes can be explored. 54
Weaknesses
Lack of maintenance and absence of timely cleaning of free public conveniences renders them unusable for significant amount of time.
Threats
Improper usage of public conveniences would leave these facilities unusable and would require more maintenance. Overflow of untreated sewage from households are mixing with storm water drainage system resulting pollution.
6.2.4. Issues
There is no sewerage network in the town. Sewage flows along with the storm water into the nallahs and hence causes choking of nallahs and drains and ultimately polluting them. As per the prescribed standards, there should be 100% population coverage with sewerage network, but as per the existing situation there is no sewerage network in the town. Untreated sewage flowing through the nallahs lead to unhygienic conditions in the town.
6.3. Sanitation
Like sewerage, in the 12th schedule of 74th Amendment to the Constitution of India the responsibility of providing services pertaining to sanitation within the city limits lie with the ULBs.
Rehti Nagar Parishad has developed many Public Toilets/Conveniences which are located at various key locations in the city. The primary purpose of these Public Toilets is to serve the Floating Population. However, these Public Toilets are also used by members of those households which lack an in-house Sanitation facility. But a significant portion of the households which lack an in-house sanitation facility also resorts to open defecation.

Weaknesses
Slum Population per Seat of Public Convenience is around 226 against the UDPFI norm value of 60. Lack of maintenance and absence of timely cleaning of free public conveniences renders them unusable for significant amount of time.
Threats
Improper usage of public conveniences would leave these facilities unusable and would require more maintenance. Overflow from septic tanks and from the houses are mixing with storm water drainage system resulting into surface water pollution.
6.3.4. Issues
Non-availability of municipal water supply in the vicinity has also affected the use of individual toilets. The city does not have sufficient facilities of sanitation at the public places. There is need to provide sanitation facilities at the market places Public level sanitation facilities for women are grossly lacking in the city.
the compost trench is approximately 5 acres. Rehti Nagar Parishad constitutes a committee for cleanliness of the town under the councilors. As per the data available, it is seen that 3 metric tonnes of waste is generated and collected per day. About 1.5 tons of waste is generated from commercial markets and the remaining 1.5 tons is generated from residential premises. There are 15 dustbins each having a capacity of 0.5 tonne. 2 tractor trolleys having a capacity of 0.5 tonne are used by the ULB for collecting and disposing garbage. They make 4 trips per day covering a distance of 3 km (one side) in each trip. 15 pushcarts are also used for collection of garbage at source.

The above Exhibit 6- shows that the quantity of waste generated per capita is within the prescribed limits. As per the standards waste generated per capita should be up to 250 grams whereas the quantity of waste generated per capita in Rehti is 213 grams. But it is also seen that in the coming years as the town would develop, the amount of waste generation would increase and exceed the prescribed standards. As per the above table garbage generated per capita would be 3.89 tons by 2025, hence it is necessary to fulfill the gaps which would be created in future. It is also seen that as per the standards, there should be adequate number of wheel barrows/ handcarts for collecting waste from 100% of the households. But from the table above it is clear that the demand of these handcarts would also increase and there would be a gap of 1 hand cart by 2015 which would raise to 2 handcarts by 2025 and 4 handcarts by 2035. It is also observed that a gap of 3 tractor trolleys used for transferring garbage to compost site will be created by the year 2015. The Exhibit above also gives an idea regarding the standards prescribed by UDPFI guidelines and CPHEEO guidelines
Opportunities
Existing infrastructure can be utilized in an effective manner. Private participation could be explored for 57
Weaknesses
Lack of primary collection Un hygienic waste disposal system Several places of the city are not provided collection bins leaving no options with residents to dispose domestic waste but throw it in open.
Threats
Failure of maintenance of extra capacity can result in loss of capacity Negligence from citizens can prove all efforts of municipality futile Drains and nallahs are getting polluted by disposal of waste Health hazards for the people due to insufficient collection and open incineration.
6.4.3. Issues
Less number of garbage collection points and less number of dustbins. Garbage generated would be 3.05 tons by 2025; hence it is necessary to fulfil the gaps which would be created in future. A gap of 1 tractor trolleys used for transferring garbage to compost site will be created by the year 2015. There are 15 dustbins in Rehti for garbage collection; the gap is expected to rise by the years 2025 and 2035.
6.5. Drainage
6.5.1. Existing drainage system
The total length of drains in Rehti is only 19 km. The town has open drains out which 12.5 km are Pucca drains and 6.5 km are Katcha drains. There are no closed drains in the town. There is a need to plan a proper storm water drainage system for the entire city. Talia (low lying area) in ward 7 has been filled with mud to stop flooding of the surrounding areas.

The above Exhibit 6- summarizes the current status and Demand-Supply Gap analysis for Drainage network provided by Rehti Nagar Parishad. It also provides a snapshot of comparative analysis of existing level of service with level of service desired under the Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines.
Opportunities
Development of an integrated drainage network to support the increasing population of the city Strengthening of existing drains to avoid floods Encroachments and improper maintenance of existing drains resulting floods every year Mix of sewage and solid waste resulting in polluting the environment
Weaknesses
Encroachments of natural drains Mix of sewage and solid waste in the drains Low capacity of existing drains. Lack of maintenance leading to clogging of natural drains
Threats
59
6.5.4. Issues
The existing drainage system needs a major revamping, as it is badly dilapidated and encroached at many places. Efforts should be made to develop a new drainage system. All the existing drains should be properly cleaned at regular intervals to avoid flooding during monsoons. Efforts should be made to stop encroachment of the existing drains. Awareness programs to be conducted for local citizens to prevent garbage dumping in open drains.

Opportunities
Development of alternate routes to explore tourism opportunities in the town. Development of Parking lots in Salkanpur temple, can become an important source of revenue for the Nagar Parishad
Weaknesses
Huge gap in the existing level of service. Excessive movement of heavy vehicles on the main artery of the city Several incidences of encroachments have reduced the effective width of city roads Lack of pathways and bicycle tracks Lack of organized parking lots at Salkanpur temple.
Threats
Unregulated growth of encroachments
6.6.4. Issues
No rail connectivity Lack of parking spaces at Salkanpur temple and market areas lead to reduction of road width Excessive encroachments on road also reduce the effective road width. Traffic congestion in the market areas. Lot of roads within the city are unpaved and hence are not suitable for vehicular movement
As per the information received, there are total 305 street lights. Out of which 5 are high mast lamps, 250 mercury vapour lamps and 50 sodium vapour lamps. Rehti also has a facility of Firefighting service which is also used to serve the surrounding areas. Though there is not a separate fire station, the fire vehicle is parked in the police station, Rehti.

6.12.7.
Issues
Though roles of different organizations in the provisioning of urban services are clearly defined, plans formulated by different organizations suffer because of lack of coordination among various organizations. In case of street lighting, responsibility of installation of electricity poles and their electrification lies with MPSEB. Any failure in the coordination between Nagar Parishad and MPSEB results in poor urban governance. MPPCB should be regularly contacted to keep a check on urban environment and curb pollution. Nagar Parishad should maintain a healthy interaction for effective and comprehensive city planning. The Departments of Health and Education should be provided with necessary assistance in the implementation of their plans and day-to-day activities. MP Housing Board should consult Nagar Parishad at the planning stage to avoid any issues later at the time of transfer of housing stocks to Nagar Parishad. Nagar Parishad should consult MP Housing Board during the preparation of DPRs for various urban services. Meetings at regular intervals should be organized between various governing organizations for effective urban governance.

8. City Vision, Sector Goals, Strategies, Action Plan, Projects and Prioritization
The vision for Rehti was formulated by stakeholders and IMaCS through a consensus approach and continued consultations with the community. The consultations revolved around the citys strengths, current issues, concerns, problems and the areas that need to be focused on to achieve the desired results.
77
In the subsequent sections of this chapter, we have outlined the key areas in each sector, which would be the main focus of detailed strategies and action plan. We have also discussed the achievement targets for short, medium and long terms. These achievement targets have been decided according to the demand of that particular parameter in that year. The discussion on sector goals for each sector is followed by sector strategies that should be adopted to achieve the sector goals. Sector Strategies have been devised in accordance with the existing situation of the urban services, demand in future years and improvement in the service levels. After strategies projects have been identified for two phases, short-term projects which would be developed up to 2015 and long term projects which would be developed up to 2035.
WATER SUPPLY
Map 17 (Annexure 4) shows the proposed water supply network and new ESLR for the town, which are required for the increasing population and its requirement. City Development Plan - Rehti 79
Water supply source requires to be augmented to 2.76 MLD by 2035 The water storage capacity would also have to be increased keeping in perspective the long-term requirements. Elevated storage capacity has to be increased. Refurbishment of the old dilapidated distribution network has to be planned to reduce the loss in transmission. Treatment plant has to be provided for water treatment. Complete metering needs to be done in order to improve the revenue from water charges Assured 135 lpcd water supply Improvement in water quality Improvement in the revenue from water charges, enhanced service delivery
Expected Outcome
For meeting the demand arising in 2035, the following sub projects are being recommended and would have to be executed by the ULB by 2015.Refer Exhibit 8-2

Metering of all the Water Connections (this will also help in assessment of NRW and supply efficiency through various other parameters)
Revenues from water charges are not adequate, and the installation of water meters becomes important both from the perspective raising revenues and checking water consumption
Projects Envisaged
This section discusses the technical details of the projects to achieve the sector goals. As a proactive measure to address the increasing demand of water supply. The various projects envisaged for the integrated development of water supply system are: Source Augmentation: As of now, the extraction of water is done through 8 tube wells and 1 open well at various places, but due to depleting ground water, few tube wells have stopped working. And with increasing population and economic development there would be more
80
requirement of water. Thus, there is a need to encourage additional sources of water. This project needs to be developed completely by 2015. The additional water requirement can be met by adopting Drawing additional water from Babar River (as given in the DPR) .This can be a potential alternative source for the town. There is a need to have a detailed feasibility study regarding these sources. Nagar Parishad would have to co-ordinate with irrigation department to get permissions for water use. Water treatment facility: As there is no treatment facility available in the town, there is a need to install treatment infrastructure with a capacity of 2.76 MLD by 2035. Thus, by 2015 treatment infrastructure needs to be developed for 2.18 MLD water and then it needs to be augmented to 2.276 MLD by 2035. Distribution Network: As discussed with Rehti Nagar Parishad officials, at present, Rehti has distribution network which is 80 % of the road length. The proposed water supply scheme includes the construction of additional 19.01 km of distribution network by 2015 and 30.39 km of distribution network by 2035 to increase the coverage to 85% of road network by the year 2035. Elevated Storage Capacity: At present, the water supplied through elevated storage capacity is 78%, which is more than the desired level. But, in future with the increasing demand there would be need to increase the capacity of elevated reservoirs up to 0.57 MLD by 2015 and 0.92 MLD by 2035, which 33% of the total water supplied in respective years (as per UDPFI Guidelines) Metering System: 100% properties need to be assessed and water meters need to be installed in all the properties with water connection, so that revenue income of the Nagar Parishad can be increased. There is a need to increase capacity of officials in this sector and create awareness among the Parishads and citizens.

Projects Envisaged
This section discusses the technical details of the projects to achieve the sector goals. As a proactive measure to address the increasing demand of water supply, the various projects envisaged for the integrated development of sewerage system are: Underground Sewerage network: The construction of the sewer network to be constructed takes into consideration the factors of existing and future water supply to the town and the population size being catered to. The capacity of the system has been estimated at 2.2 MLD (80% of the future water supply) for 2035 for which the length of the network has to be developed by 20.12km by 2015 and additional 12.06 km by 2035. Sewage Treatment System: As Rehti town is very small and all areas are not contiguous and are fragmented, it would be very beneficial for the town both financially and for operations and maintenance to implement Decentralized Waste Water Treatment System (DEWATS) for comprehensive sewerage system, and dispose off 2.21 MLD of generated sewage. This DEWAT system take into care the demand generated in the year 2035. The advantages of DEWAT system are that; it requires minimum space and hence be accommodated easily under paved pathways and parking lots etc. or small available spaces; it requires lesser energy and operation cost; This system promotes the reuse of water for non-potable purposes; it can be easily blended with the landscape;it cannot be switched off so it ensures efficient working irrespective of external factors and it can treat waste water with high fat, suspended solids and BOD. Since this system is decentralized, the zones would be defined as per population and location for DEWATS and the treatment system would be developed to safely dispose-off the sewage. The treated water can be used for agricultural use.

Exhibit 8-10: Solid Waste Management: Projects Identified by ULB and Consultant
Projects Proposed by Consultant Solid Waste Management system for Rehti town
Project Rationale As per the demand assessment, in 2035, Rehti would generate 4.92 tonnes of waste daily. To effectively handle the generated waste, a preemptive action of developing a proper Solid Waste Management system is inevitable.
Vermicomposting Plant for the town Sub- Projects Promoting door-to-door collection Augmenting Collection Infrastructure Development and augmentation of landfill site
Projects Envisaged
This section discusses the technical details of the projects to achieve the sector goals. As a proactive measure to the address the increasing demand of water supply. The various projects envisaged for the integrated development of Solid Waste Management System are: Collection Infrastructure: Primary Collection: Augmentation of primary collection involves capacity addition in the area of equipments used in the waste collection including community bins. As per the demand assessment, on a priority need, additional 16 handcarts would be needed for short term span and additional 22 handcarts would be needed for long term span. Also currently, the practice being followed includes a majority of residents dumping waste outside their houses, or in drains/ vacant land or at the designated collection point/ dustbin. This results in scattering of waste which results in poor collection. To achieve an effective waste collection, practice of door-todoor collection should be initiated which needs to be supported by necessary awareness generation programmes and capacity building of the staff. Secondary Collection: Secondary collection involves transportation of waste from collection points to the disposal site. At present, secondary collection is carried out by tractors. These tractors are unable to collect the waste from the internal narrow streets. On a priority, secondary collection system should be strengthened to carry out waste transportation in an effective manner. All the waste transportation vehicles should be covered to avoid the spilling of waste. By 2015, 3 tractors would be required if one tractor is making one trip a day and by 2035 also 3 tractors would needed. Development and augmentation of the landfill site: The demand-gap assessment reveals the generation of 4.92 MT of waste in the town by 2035 against the current generation of 2.5 MT. The current available disposal site has 5 acres area which is sufficient till 2035. The collected waste is just dumped at the site without any treatment or segregation. The dumping site would have to be well-equipped to ensure proper waste segregation and composting facilities. In addition, the dumping site would need to be provided with the basic facilities of compound walls, BT/CC approach road, electrification, which has already been done in the town. The composting and segregation would help in some revenue generation for Nagar Parishad. It is proposed to develop the landfill site by 2015. Development of Vermicomposting Plant: Vermicomposting involves the stabilisation of organic solid waste through earthworm consumption which converts the material into worm castings. Vermi technology, a tripartite system which involves biomass, microbes and earthworms is influenced by the abiotic factors such as temperature, moisture, aeration etc. 86
Conditions unfavourable to aerobic decomposition result in mortality of earthworms and subsequently no vermicomposting occurs. Hence, pre-processing of the waste as well as providing favourable environmental condition is necessary for vermicomposting. It is relatively more stabilised and harmonises with soil system without any ill effects. Unfavourable conditions such as particle size of biomass and extent of its decomposition, very large temperature increase, anaerobic condition, toxicity of decomposition products etc. influence activity of worms. Tests in India have shown that vermin compost application can double wheat yields and quadruple yields of fodder. Method to prepare Vermi-Compost: The MSW is segregated i.e all the dry wastes such as clothes, carry bags and other dry wastes are segregated from wet waste. A thatched roof shed preferably open from all sides with unpaved (katcha) floor is erected in East West direction length wise to protect the site from direct sunlight. A shed area of 12X12 is sufficient to accommodate three vermin beds of 10X3 each having 1 space in between for treatment of 9 12 quintals of waste in a cycle of 40-45 days. The length of shed can be increased/decreased depending upon the quantity of waste to be treated and availability of space. The height of thatched roof is kept at 8 feet from the centre and 6 feet from the sides. The base of the site is raised at least 6 inches above ground to protect it from flooding during the rains. The wet waste is pulverized and arranged in the form of vermin bed over the raised ground. The loaded waste is finally covered with a Jute Mat to protect earthworms from birds and insects. Water is sprinkled on the vermin beds daily according to requirement and season to keep them moist. The waste is turned upside down fortnightly without disturbing the basal layer (vermin bed).The appearance of black granular crumbly powder on top of vermin beds indicate harvest stage of the compost. The earthworms go down and the compost is collected from the top without disturbing the lower layers (vermin bed). The first lot of Vermi compost is ready for harvesting after 22 months and the subsequent lots can be harvested after every 6 weeks of loading. The vermin bed is loaded for the next treatment cycle.

Likewise the total drain length in the town shall be of about 46.48 km by 2035. Further the drains in the initial phase shall be open and subsequently be made closed; hence the investment is towards upgradation annually and for construction of new closed drains. All existing open drains shall be first upgraded to closed drains and subsequently new drains shall be constructed. Prominently, all the road and storm water projects are to be taken up simultaneously to match the levels of the roads with the drains and allow draining of rain water from the city.
Up gradation of Pucca open to Pucca closed by 2015 Construction of new 31.14 km of Pucca closed drains and 15.34 km Pucca open drains by 2035
Projects Envisaged
This section discusses the technical details of the projects to achieve the sector goals. As a proactive measure to the address the increasing demand of water supply. The various projects envisaged for the integrated development of Drainage System are: Cleaning / De-silting of existing drains: As an immediate measure, Nagar Parishad should aim at timely cleaning and maintenance of existing drainage network. Under this project, major natural drains should be given proper attention as they are flowing in the Nagar Parishad area. Construction of storm water drains: The Nagar Parishad should undertake the construction of Pucca Open and Pucca closed drains in phased manner. This construction may be done in relation to the construction/up-gradation of roads. These construction activities would have to be carried out on an immediate basis to address the existing and future demand-supply gap. In short-term, 29.07 km of new drains need to be developed and addition of 17.41 km of network needs to be done beyond 2015. Up-gradation of existing drains: The Nagar Parishad is also required to undertake drain upgradation works for the existing drains in town. In the short term, 12.5 km of existing open drains should be upgraded to Pucca open or closed drains. Development of Root Zone Treatment System (RZTS): It is observed that the sewage flowing through nallahs joins rivers in untreated condition and creates heavy risk of river pollution. Storm water can be treated as well with RZTS after removal of settle able substances. It is a low-cost and maintenance free option that uses the capacity of plants (especially certain reeds hence also called reedbed technology) to absorb contaminants and structurally modify them for treating water. It is based on the principle of attached growth biological reactors similar to conventional trickling filters with combination of aerobic and anaerobic zones. The contaminants present in the wastewater are treated as they seep through the root-zone of the plants by a combination of plants, soil bacteria and hydraulic flow systems resulting in physical, chemical, and microbiological processes. Oxygen present in the zone facilitates the degradation of wastewater. A wide variety of microorganisms present in the root-zone of the plants results in efficient removal. There is efficient reduction of pathogens also by percolation through the bed material. Thus, it can be developed in Rehti along storm water drains.

Projects Envisaged
This section discusses the technical details of the projects to achieve the sector goals. As a proactive measure to the address the increasing demand of water supply. The various projects envisaged for the integrated development of Roads and Transportation is: Road Construction: To address the current gap of per capita road length, and the future demand, the Nagar Parishad does not need any new road formation up-to 2015, but would need to construct around 7.4km of additional road by 2035. The Nagar Parishad should on a priority basis identify the stretches and areas where roads at present do not exist and or have poor connectivity. Also the areas where future residential growth is anticipated or planned, road construction can be undertaken. Signalization and Signages: The arterial road passes through the town connecting National Highway with multiple villages. This may increase the flow of vehicles on the road in the future. This endangers the pedestrians crossing the road. Thus there is need for signalization and proper signages at few points. Parking Spaces and Bus Stand: With the growing number of vehicles and increasing commercial activities in the town, issue of lack of parking spaces becomes much more relevant. The consultations with stakeholders have concluded that parking spaces can be developed near the key commercial area of the town.

Community Facilities
Making land available to the poor at affordable prices and ensuring the provision of housing, urban infrastructure, and other services on the government land, can provide alternatives that would restrict the formation of new slums. Simple strategies like reservation of land for EWS housing can ensure the creation of sufficient and affordable housing stock in the town. Perhaps the most important change needed in managing Rehtis slums is fostering a collaborative partnership between local authorities and communities, with strong support from the government. Local authorities are the city planners, financiers, and providers of infrastructure services. Their performance depends on good governance at the city level involving communities living in informal settlements. This implies working with the urban poor as partners in the city development process, and not seeing them as obstacles, as is too often the case today. Community organizations can provide a voice for the urban poor and ensure that their interests are met in slum up gradation programmes and urban planning. While planning for redevelopment of slums, Nagar Parishad should focus on infrastructure such as sewers, piped water, and electricity grids. Investments in improved sanitation should receive high priority to improve the quality of life and reduce the high burden of oral-fecal diseases in informal settlements caused by widespread open defecation. Effective hygiene education and awareness-building programs are essential to create demand for sanitation and to ensure its adequate use by all household members. Other investments required as part of slum up gradation include investment in storm water drainage, community facilities, local markets, and street lighting. Health services require investments as well. As mentioned earlier, nutrition interventions for both the general population and vulnerable groups will reduce morbidity and mortality among the urban poor. Clinics/ health posts need to be more accessible, located where the
94
needs are the strongest, and open during hours that can accommodate the schedules of the working poor. Access to credit mechanisms is of particular importance; the poor can incrementally invest in housing, if they have adequate security of tenure, and this can become an important means of asset accumulation.

Conclusion
This chapter dealt with the city vision, sector goals and sector strategies to achieve sector goals. It also presents the identified interventions required in every sector which is followed with identification of projects and project implementation agencies in all of its sub sections.
Rehti Nagar Parishad has the primary responsibility of delivering municipal services. So the CDP proposals will be implemented by the Nagar Parishad. The projects, prioritization, investment phasing, strategies and action plan are framed accordingly. The CIP involves the identification of public facilities to cater demand of the city populace in the years 2015 and 2035. The projects have been identified through a demand-gap analysis for various urban services. Identification of projects was followed by their prioritization based on the stakeholders consultation. The projects identified are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilization of existing infrastructure systems and enhancing the capacity of the systems/services to cater to the demands of future population. In addition to the projects which are related to major urban services,
CIP also includes developmental projects like greenery development, parking spaces, system modernization etc. The CIP and forecasted future needs for provision of capital facilities under each identified sector is presented below. These assets will help Rehti in improving the quality and coverage of service for the current population as well as accommodate the expected increase in population. In some of the sectors like source augmentation for water supply, development of landfill site etc, a planning horizon of 25 years has been considered. Rehti Nagar Parishad expects that these infrastructure assets would not only guarantee services to its citizens, but also signal a proactive commitment to potential investors.

In addition to a preliminary analysis, an overall rank for each sector was derived out of cumulative perception in terms of its criticality. A decreasing rank order of various infrastructure facilities is given in Exhibit 9-2. The ranking thus obtained lays down a path for prioritization of development works in the city. It would try to synchronize the usage of developmental funds with the needs of the city. It should be kept in mind that the Exhibit below is only an indicator of relative criticality of various sectors/services.

A detailed analysis was carried out for each sector in order to identify the most critical problem within each sector. The findings of this analysis will be useful while devising City Investment Plan, Annual Action Plan and Prioritization of projects within each sector. Exhibit 9-3 lists most critical problems in the various sectors/services of the city.

As for the social infrastructure, stakeholders were asked to rank their perception on a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 being Good, 2 being Satisfactory, 3 being Poor and 4 being Very Poor. From the responses it has been observed that the city in-general suffers from poor social infrastructure which includes parks, proper markets & parking space, recreational activities, and good education and health care.
The planning horizon for the projects identified in sectors of urban poor/ slums, system modernization, city beautification etc which can be taken up immediately by 2015 therefore the entire identified investment is proposed for funding by 2015 itself. In case of core service sectors of water supply, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management 2035 is considered as the planning horizon and hence only part of the identified investment is proposed for funding by 2015. Rehti will need to plan for the remaining identified investment to be funded beyond 2015. Also, the projects already under preparation by the ULB as indicated in the strategy section will form a part of the total investment need identified in the CIP. Exhibit 9-4 presents the summary of sector-wise total investment need and investments up to 2015.

Investment need for the Rehti Nagar Parishad As can be observed from the table above, a significant amount i.e. 59% of the total investment is needed by the year 2015. From the perspective of sector priorities, about 47% of the investment required for water supply will be proposed by year 2015 and 64% would be proposed for Sewerage and Sanitation. Drains and road sectors envisage around 48% and 64% respectively of the identified investment by 2015 while street lighting sector envisage about 63% of the identified investment. Within the total investment proposed for Rehti Nagar Parishad, apart from other investments which include, health, education, community development etc maximum share is taken by the Roads sector at 24 % followed by drain and health sector at 15.2% and 14.8% respectively. Sewerage accounts for 7% and solid waste management accounts for 2 % of the investment. Slum rehabilitation accounts for about 3 % of the total investment by 2015. Sector wise details of the City Investment Plan, capital facilities costs, supportive actions and implementation aspects are discussed in the following sections in detail. Demand-gap assessment leading to various projects identification has already been done in chapter 6.

The revenue sources of ULB comprise of own revenue and State transfers (combination of assigned revenue and grants & contributions). State devolution to ULBs is a source of meeting the debt service requirements under various borrowings. An Urban Local Body is capable of financing its own projects if it has a revenue surplus position and capable of sustaining it consistently over future tenure of the project envisaged. However, the financial status analysis of Rehti Nagar Parishad shows that the Revenue account of the Nagar Parishad is not capable of taking huge investment entirely on its own balance sheet; hence it is not a valid option for this ULB. Risk assessment: Even if the ULB has a revenue surplus position at present, there could be inconsistencies in future thus making the project subject to risk of running out of fund. Ongoing sector development schemes/ programmes
Typically these are state and central sources of financing through which ULBs get fund in the form of loan and grants. Apart from traditional programmes, this option also includes multilateral sources of funding which is routed through state level nodal agency. State schemes Projects taken up under regular state schemes are generally funded entirely by the state. The funds are allocated in the state budget and made available to the implementing agency through the state
Urban Development Department (UDD). The ULB can structure its identified projects best suited to any such ongoing state scheme applicable for a specific sector. Risk assessment: Less risk but not likely to get fund for large capital intensive projects Central schemes For central schemes, the total funding is generally shared between centre and state or centre, state and ULB itself. The funding pattern is different for different schemes and could be of any combination of loan, grant and own contribution. Risk assessment: Low risk as Govt. supported programme. However, ULBs has to make arrangement for own contribution as well as repay loan over specified period. Thus has to assure a source for that. Risk assessment: Low risk as these Government supported programme. However, ULBs have to make arrangement for own contribution as well as repay loan over specified period. Borrowing
Pooled finance Pooled finance is a form of market borrowing. It is a financial instrument for tapping capital market to finance small city infrastructure projects. Like an independent financial entity, the Nagar Parishad can issue bond to raise money from market. The municipal bond has to be rated by a credit rating agency and then issued in the market. However, ULBs has to have a strong financial position to raise money by this instrument. Risk assessment: This instrument is prone to market risk ULB has to maintain consistently good financial position and credibility
Financial institution borrowing For ULBs, borrowing from financial institutions has been generally from government supported financial institutions like HUDCO, LIC etc. The Rehti Nagar Parishad can borrow money from these financial institutions. Risk assessment: Low risk as supported by Government The fund is focused towards urban development Disbursement could be conditional
This instrument seeks to have contribution from a private party in developing a facility and/or operating a facility. There are various standard forms of contract that could be entered into between the public body (ULB) and the private party depending on the conditions best suited for a particular project. Typically, the private party would operate the facility over a certain period of time after developing in with some user charges and then hand it over to the public body Risk assessment: City Development Plan - Rehti 119
Risk of opposition to user charges for basic public amenities ULB has to have thorough monitoring over project development as well as operation period by private party
These are some Government. capital sources, which are not dedicated to urban development but could be tapped for this purpose. For example funds from Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD), MLALAD, and Central Finance Commission Grants etc. These cannot be considered as regular sources of funds but can be tapped for one time investment by ULBs depending on availability and local situation. Risk assessment: Highly uncertain as long as not committed Most likely to be one time contribution, not a consistent source
9.12. Conclusion
In this chapter the investment requirement in various sectors and sub-sectors has been detailed out. Along with investments the action measures needed to implement the projects, performance indicators to identify the effective execution has also been detailed out. The next chapter puts forward the financial operating plan (FOP) for Rehti town.
i.
Increase the property tax coverage by bringing 100% properties under tax assessment. The property tax per assessment is found to be very low in Rehti and an hence initial revision of the annual rated value per assessment is proposed with subsequent revisions every five year Revision of Water charges at specific intervals. Though the revision in water tariff should be done on annual basis to recover 100% of the O&M cost. However, annual revision is not a general practice in all the ULBs across the state, so revision after every five years is envisaged for projections. Introduction of Sewerage Charges in 2014-15, after implementing the Sewerage Project Maintenance of the collection performance of taxes and charges at certain minimum levels for current and for arrears

iii. iv.
Grants available under the Framework (as percent of investment proposed for funding by 2015 in infrastructure sectors 30 percent would be given by state government as grant, state government will take loan on rest of the 70 percent investment, on which repayment would be done in such a manner that govt. will have to repay for 75 percent of the 70 percent of the investment and ULB will have to pay on 25 percent of the 70 percent of the total investment. Thus, on calculations it was found that state would be providing for 82.5 percent grants of the total investment). Borrowings from market or financial institutions

With reforms in Property Tax, Water Charges and Sewerage charges This case assumes the reforms in property tax, Water and Sewerage have been implemented and accordingly the investment capacity has increased by Rs. 3.52 Crore above the base investment capacity. These reforms will increase the total sustainable capacity to 14.90%. Reforms (without debt Funding) This case assumes that all the reforms suggested above are being implemented and UIDSSMT grants are also availed. In this scenario Nagar Parishads sustainable capacity will increase to 53.20%, which is 40.90% in addition to base case. Now Nagar Parishad will be able to sustain investment of about Rs. 12.58 Crore. Reforms along with debt Funding This case assumes that Nagar Parishad can increase their sustainable capacity by taking debt from any financial institution or private banks in addition to the implementation of reforms suggested above. In this scenario Nagar Parishad can sustain up to 54.40% of the total investment identified, which is 1.20 % more than without debt funding scenario. The impact of the different scenario on the investment sustainability of Rehti Nagar Parishad is shown below.
Fund Requirement For the identified investment for Nagar Parishad of Rs. 23.65 Crore at constant prices only Rs. 12.87 Crore is sustainable. Exhibit 10-3 shows the funding pattern for sustainable investment.

From the above analysis (Exhibit 10-3), it is very clear that ULB alone even with the grant support under UIDSSMT scheme and reforms will not be able to implement 100% of the projects identified under the City Investment Plan (CIP). But they can substantially increase their sustainable capacity with these reforms. So, it is recommended that ULB along the support from UADD, GoMP should try to develop few projects at PPP model and additional grant support from GoMP. It is also recommended that on the same lines of the National Urban Information System (NUIS) programme for strengthening of information system at Municipal Corporation level, GoMP should also provide support to all the local bodies in Madhya Pradesh, which are not covered in the mentioned programme.

10.7. Conclusion
This chapter discussed the Investment sustainability of Rehti Nagar Parishad. The discussion on assumptions for various financial projections was followed by detailing of investment capacity of ULB. The investment capacity was analyzed for four scenarios; Base case, PT improvements & Sector Reforms and Debt Funding & Reforms. The investment capacity analysis was followed by a discussion on the funding requirement of the city. The next chapter deals with the urban reforms.

A brief summary of proceedings of Kick -off Stakeholder Consultation Workshop is as follows: IMaCS explained the need for a long-term plan for Rehti and role of IMaCS, with support from Stakeholders, in preparing the City Development Plan. Adhyaksh, Mr.Patel and other Parishads discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the town and also its growth prospects. The presentation by IMaCS familiarized the stakeholders with the purpose, process, and expected outcomes of the CDP study. Members were then requested for their views and suggestions in formulating the City Development Plan with key stress on following areas: Identity of the city and development prospects City Development Plan - Rehti 139
Needs and necessary Projects to be undertaken Ward specific issues that need immediate attention
A few suggestions that came out of the discussion are as under Rehti is the nearest town (about 4 km away) to the Temple at Salkanpur, which is a place of religious importance and attracts a lot of tourists. It is therefore necessary in Rehti to have facilities to cater the needs of the tourists and hence promote tourism. Source of Water for the city is ground water (i.e. hand pumps, tube wells). The ground water is connected to the ESR (elevated service reservoirs) and is supplied to the town. There is no treatment plant at present. With the growing populations other options need to be explored. There is no sewerage system in the town at present. The sewerage is carried by the storm water drains or nallahs that flow along the natural ground topography and finally flow into Narmada River or accumulate in the low lying area causing unhygienic conditions. The city roads have potholes, and most of them are kutcha roads. Due to lot of encroachment on roads by the shopkeepers as well as parking on the streets, the road width gets reduced and the roads become narrow. Employment opportunities in the town should be boosted by taking appropriate measures because the current work force participation in the town is very low.
Second Workshop- Sector Analysis, City Vision & Strategy Formulation Second workshop was conducted on 21 December 2011 in the meeting hall in Rehti Nagar Parishads office. The objective of this workshop was to interact with various stakeholders to finalize City Profile; to finalize sector strategies in consonance with the city vision and sector goals; and to evaluate the strategies from the perspective of their contribution to achieving the vision and sector goals. In this workshop, city profile was presented to the stakeholders followed by a discussion on city perspectives and city priorities as perceived by the stakeholders. With the background of city profile, perspective and priorities, a collective and shared vision was developed for the city. In addition to the formulation of the vision and sector goals, the preliminary discussions were carried out on strategies, priorities and major actions that would be required in the next five years to move towards the vision 2035. This workshop also involved selection of strategies based on their contribution towards achieving the city vision and sector goals. The selection of strategies was followed by prioritization of identified projects and immediate actions required to achieve the sector goals. This workshop culminated in the consolidation of city vision, sector goals, strategies, priority actions and projects.

Presentation started off with a brief introduction of the study i.e. Preparation of City Development Plan for Rehti, so as to bring all the stakeholders on the same platform (Refer Annexure Ia). Based on the information collected by various sources, the representative from IMaCS presented city profile which included demographic and socio-economic profile of the town with spatial component. Demographic profile dealt with population growth trend and its probable reasons, it also showed the population projections and the methods used for these projections. The stakeholders agreed on the projected population. Socio-economic profile comprised of key socio-economic parameters, major economic base and major potentials and main issues faced by the residents of the town. During this, stakeholders stated that few steps are needed to increase employment opportunities and improve quality of life in the town to discourage migration to urban areas/cities. City profiling was followed by the findings of Sector Analysis which includes Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation, Storm Water Drainage, Solid Waste Management, Transportation, Health, Education and other socio-cultural facilities for short, medium and long term, i.e. 5 years, 10 years and 25 years respectively. Analysis comprised of existing status of service level indicators, Demand-Supply Gaps for and key observations & major issues. After covering these sections, we turned our focus on formulation of a vision for Rehti. This par t of the presentation included definition of vision, major concerns that need to be addressed while developing a vision and important aspects that define Rehti. It was then followed by stating the vision for the town based on our understanding. Formulation of City vision and Sectoral goals were supplemented by a Questionnaire survey in the local dialect (Hindi Annexure II) with the aim of obtaining stakeholders vision of the city. . Questionnaire survey included stakeholders view of problems in the various sectors, evaluation of citys growth and infrastructure and ranking of major issues and problems of the town, as perceived by stakeholders. Further the stakeholders discussed sectoral strategies and vision and suggested few things such as insufficient water supply and how to improve the same. They also suggested getting water from river Narmada as source. Further, they highlighted the lack of employment opportunities, in this town which is a cause for youth migrating to other cities. The stakeholders suggested that since, Rehti has a strong agricultural base and it has a regional crop market (Mandi), few small scale agro based industries can be promoted in the town. Small scale industry of herbal medicine can be further supported and grown. They also suggested of generating employment by developing Rehti as tourist hub. Other than this, the condition of slums was also discussed. There was a suggestion to improve the quality of life of all the slum dwellers by providing basic infrastructure to all of them. They also talked about acute shortage of doctors and of other healthcare facilities. The stakeholders showed concern about non-availability of parks, playgrounds, community halls and ill maintained ponds. Other than this, they agreed on various strategies and sector goals and the actions required for the development of the town which was presented by our team.
Third Workshop- Draft Report Finalization The final workshop for City Development Plan for Rehti was th held on 27 August 2012 at Rehti Nagar Parishad office. The workshop was attended by approximately 15 stakeholders including, Adhyaksh, Upadhayaksh, CMO, Sub-engineer, other staff and citizens.
