Strategies for Eradication of Child Labour in

India
by Khushi Mehta — last modified Nov 12, 2010 09:59 AM
Child labour is one of the serious hurdles on the path of human development in India. The
majority of child labourers in India work in industries such as cracker manufacturing, diamond
polishing, carpet weaving, brassware industry, glass and bangle making, and mica cutting. The
employers exploit child workers by forcing them to work in sub-human conditions with long
working hours and extremely low pay.
Ever since independence, the government of India has taken several measures to eradicate the
menace of child labour. There have been specific legislations aimed at curbing the problem, and
punishing the offenders. Also, several social programs for the rehabilitation for children who are
rescued from child labour are run at the central and state level. In recent years, there has been a
major emphasis on providing basic education for all children, which is a long-term answer to this
social menace.
Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986
Article 24 of the Indian constitution clearly states that, "No child below the age of fourteen years
shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or employed in any hazardous employment."
The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act of 1986 designates a child as a person who
has not completed their 14th year of age. It aims to regulate the hours and the working conditions
of child workers and to prohibit child workers in hazardous industries. (1)
Right to Education Bill
In 2009, the government of India made a move of far-reaching consequences by introducing the
Right to Education Bill. The Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) has
estimated that the implementation of this Act will require large amounts of funds to the tune of
Rs. 1.74 lakh crore. The proposed National Education Finance Corporation (NEFC) is expected
to fund school education and the government and local bodies will develop the necessary
infrastructure for upholding the true spirit of this Act. The implementation of this Act at the
grassroots level is a key to the eradication of the problem of child labour that has plagued India
for centuries. (2)
Rehabilitation of Children Working in Hazardous Occupations
On August 15, 1994, the government of India launched a major program to remove child labour
working in hazardous occupations, and to rehabilitate them by setting up special schools for
them. Under the program a total of two million children are sought to be brought out of work and
put in special schools where they are provided with education, vocational training, monthly
stipends, nutrition and health-checks.
Establishment of National Authority for the Elimination of Child Labour (NAECL)
A highly powerful body, the National Authority for the Elimination of Child Labour (NAECL)
was established on September 26, 1994, headed by the Union Minister of Labour in the
government of India. The key functions of NAECL include the following:
• Laying down the policies and programs for the elimination of child labour, especially in
the hazardous industries.
• Monitoring the progress and grassroots level implementation of programs, projects and
schemes for the elimination of child labour.
• Coordinating various child labour related projects among different government
departments and ministries. (3)
National Child Labour Project (NCLP)
In 1988, the government of India launched the National Child Labour Project (NCLP). Initially,
the scheme was implemented in nine districts with a high concentration of child labour. The
scheme involves establishment of special schools for child labour who are withdrawn from work.
These special schools provide formal and informal education along with vocational training, and
also provide a monthly stipend. Other facilities such as supplementary nutrition and health care
are also provided to such children. The number of districts covered under the NCLP Scheme
were increased to 100 in the ninth 5-year plan and further increased to 250 in the tenth plan. (4)
There are credible efforts being made at the administrative level to eliminate the problem of
child labour. Also, there are several voluntary organizations working for the rescue and
rehabilitation of child labour in India. Education for all children is the key that can bring about a
fundamental change and help to end the problem permanently. A collective public and
governmental effort on various fronts will eventually lead to the complete eradication of child
labour menace from India.

Archives » Riot Rehabilitation » Livelihood and Security for Women in Gujarat
Gujarat experienced the worst ever riots and violence on the 28th February and 1st March 2002.
Ahmedabad city, Kheda and Anand districts, Mehsana district, Sabarkantha district and Patan district are
some of worst affected areas, where SEWA also has its membership base.
The violence and riots led to damage to houses, household goods, life casualties and damage to livelihoods.
This is followed by curfew for about five successive days. This means loss of daily income and wages. Many
women have no place to go. The Government of Gujarat is yet preparing relief package. Statistics are yet
not available.
The poor communities in Ahmedabad city and rural areas are the worst hit. More than 1,25,000 poor women
workers and their families have been affected. SEWA teams are making estimates.
SEWA’s organisors, grassroots leaders conducted a first hand assessment from 1st March 2002 onwards in Ahmedabad city. The
assessment in Ahmedabad city was carried out by SEWA’s trade committee leaders, campaign teams and health workers, and bank
leaders. More than 175 grassroots workers conducted the assessment. The assessment focused on (1) physical damage or life (2
damage to work – means of livelihood (3) damage to house and household goods. The atmosphere is very tense.
The teams also assessed as to whether the workers – who are members of SEWA, were covered under SEWA Bank and SEWA’s
insurance programme. Based on the assessment, the need for long term rehabilitation, to restore the livelihoods is in the following
areas : More accurate and second round of assessment is planned in the next two days.
SEWA’s members and leaders have played a major role in maintaining harmony amongst our members. The members and leaders
have decided to maintain a low profile. The need of the hour is to keep members and communities together, keep working silently
and invest all energies by focus on work.
SEWA’s Immediate Response :

Most of the affected families of all the communities are currently taking refuge in estimated 22 officia
camps. SEWA visited all the 22 camps in the city. Out of these camps SEWA will start working in five camps
from 6th March 2002. Many women have not reached camps and have taken refuge to what they thought to
be safer location.
Based on the review of past four riots in the city of Ahmedabad Disaster Mitigation Institute, DMI, has drawn
lessons to inform the relief effort. From the DMI information sheet dated March 4, 2002 the following
principles are guiding SEWA work :
- Supporting local initiatives from the members

- Work where SEWA has existing community base
- Leverage public money with SEWA resources
- Plan for long term involvement
- Sustained support to reconciliation efforts; and
- Create space for members to reintegrate their work and life with each other
SEWA will respond to the immediate need of the workers in these camps :
• By providing food ration (mixture of rice and daal) and milk powder. Ration of 5
kg./per head/ for five days will be provided to about 30,000 families in Ahmedabad
city.
• Child care centers will be opened from 6th March at about 6 camps. The children
from 0 to 6 years, will be taken care and provided food and milk at the child care
centers. Focus is on safety of mother and children.
• Activity centers – for the children in the age group of 7 to 14 years activity
centers will be opened. Children will be involved in creative activities of story
telling, craft, painting, games. Focus is on promoting reconciliation and healing.
• Work at Camps : Most of the women at all the camps demanded work. Therefore, SEWA will co-ordinate with employers
traders of different trades such as beedi rolling, incense stick, ready garments. Raw material will be distributed at all the
camps, so that women can start working at the camps. Backward forward linkages will be made to engage population in
constructive work.
• Health centers : SEWA will operate health centers at the camps to provide primary and first aid treatment. Along with tha
health and hygiene education will also be provided
The rural areas of Kheda, Anand, Sabarkantha, Mehsana and Radhanpur are still inaccessible. Therefore the damage
assessment from the villages in these districts is yet to come. Support and help is needed to make these assessments
Safety is also an issue for SEWA women workers to go out for assessments.
In addition, SEWA has taken care in to bringing lessons from its earthquake response, "Disaster and Vulnerability: SEWA’s
Response to the Earthquake in Gujarat".
Rebuilding Livelihoods : SEWA’s long term response :

The workers engaged in several trades suffered (1) loss of work and wages for at least 15 days (2) loss of
tools, equipments, raw material and finished goods (3) the women will not be able to go to the work sites/
vend for another 10 days.
More than 25,000 workers in Ahmedabad city suffered the
1. Loss of work and wages – Rs. 40x15x25,000 = Rs. 1,50,00,000

2. Loss of tools, equipments, raw material – 5,000x15,000 = Rs. 7,50,00,000
3. Provisional market/ storage support – Rs. 5,00,000x6 sites = Rs. 30,00,000.
Thus a total estimated loss to livelihoods is about Rs. 9,30,00,000.
SEWA plans to rebuild the livelihoods of these self employed workers and their families by (a) replenishing tools and equipments
(b) compensating loss of wages (c) develop a livelihood security fund that covers marketing, storage, and other needs.
Market loss :
Due to the violence and curfew, SEWA’s artisans direct marketing outlets Banascraft and SEWA Kalakruti, also had to be closed fo
seven days. This resulted into loss of sales of Rs. 3,50,000/-. Resulting into loss of work and income to 1500 artisans
(1500xRs.50x15 = Rs. 11,25,000) at Jamalpur in Ahmedabad city, where the rural vegetable growers sell their vegetables directly
in the market and the vendors from the city buy the vegetables, remained closed for seven days. This resulted in loss of sale o
vegetables worth Rs. 21,80,000 per day. Thus a total loss of Rs. 36,55,000, resulting into loss of work and income to about 2000
vegetable growers and vendors. Now also, sales are very low. Production is disrupted.
= 1500 x 50 x15 = Rs. 11,25,000

Artisans loss of income for 15 days
= 120 x 7 x 2000 = Rs. 16,80,000

Vendors income loss
= 4,00,000 = Rs. 4,00,000

Loss of cooperative members income
= Rs. 5,00,000
Shop no. 40 loss of income to farmers
Rs. 37,05,000
Market Loss
Artisan = 3,50,000
Vegetable = 7,00,000
10,05,000
Also the Cooperative Vegetable Shop in the Agricultural Produce Market Committee. 5 lakhs due to high season.
Damage to Houses :
It is estimated that 30,000 self employed workers have lost their houses and household goods. The
houses have been burnt down completely or damaged to an extent, that it is inhabitable. The estimated
damage and losses are :
○ Total damage to 10,000 houses – worth Rs. 15,00,00,000 (10,000x15,000)
○ Partial damage to 20,000 houses – worth Rs. 10,00,00,000 (20,000x5,000)
There are estimated 5,000 workers who had taken Rs. 7,50,00,000 worth of housing loans. These workers
may need support in rebuilding the houses (5,000 women x Rs. 15,000)
SEWA plans to support these women workers in reconstructing their houses :

○ by providing interest free on special condition housing finance upto Rs. 25,000x5,000 women = 12,50,00,000.
○ by providing technical services and material of Rs. 10,000x5,000 women = 5,00,00,000.
○ by linking with HUDCO and HDFC for creating Housing Loan Adjustment Fund.
There is a need to mobilize resources for bridge finance to cover the interest subsidy. Each family will be provided a housing loan
of Rs. 25,000, at 4%. Therefore the interest subsidy required is of Rs. 3,75,00,000. (Please see Annexure 1)
Insurance Coverage :
More than 30,000 urban members have been covered under SEWA’s insurance programme. SEWA’s field
teams are conducting the damage assessment to houses, tools and equipments.
Based on the damage assessment, SEWA will work out the reimbursement of claims to its members.
All the workers provided support for livelihood and housing finance will also be linked with insurance
programme.
Health Care Services :
The SEWA team is also assessing the need for health care services to the affected families. There is a need for immediate health
services for trauma treatment, fever, first aid. To pregnant women, children and lactating mothers special health inputs are
needed.
There are also cases of serious injuries. Based on the assessment, SEWA through its health cooperative will open health centers in
all the affected areas to provide immediatly needed health services.
Child Care Services :

SEWA will immediately reopen child care centers, so that children from the affected families can be taken care of. Besides
reopening its ongoing 51 child care centers, there will be need to open 5 new child care centers.
SEWA through its child care workers cooperative will immediately start training of child care workers – to work as teachers at the
centers.
Members Education :
SEWA Academy through its trainers and grassroots research team will launch
members education that SEWA has been doing with its members – focusing on values
of peace and non-violence, secularism. Strengthen the feeling of solidarity as workers.
The members education will be conducted using different methods such as small
meetings, songs, plays – video replays. The purpose is to create atmosphere of
reconciliation and reintegration.
Annexure 1
Loan of Rs. 25,000 each to 5,000 women. Total proposed loan Rs. 12,50,00,000. Loan
will be given at the rate of 4% as against normal interest rate of 14%. Hence interest
subsidy will be 10% per annum.
Loan disbursed – 12,50,00,000 @ interest subsidy 10% per annum (on reducing
balance)
Recovery
2,50,00,000 1,25,00,000
1st year
2nd year 2,50,00,000 1,00,00,000
3rd year 2,50,00,000 75,00,000
4th year 2,50,00,000 50,00,000
5th year 2,50,00,000 25,00,000
Total 3,75,00,000
To this issue in the meeting Ela ben, (Founder- SEWA), said that; SEWA has withstood 4 of such incidences in
the past. But we have never let the external communal feeling enter our own organization. We jus
remember that we are women and we are workers in any of the field. Gandhiji has identified 4 pillars to
support our Nation, which are :
a. Truthfulness
b. Non-Violence
c. Respectful to all religions
d. Village development
With the above note, it was decided that all the SEWA organizers and leaders should work to overcome the
situation. It was so decided that with the increase in the membership we have to strengthen our shoulders
to withstand such crisis and work efficiently.

PROMOTION OF SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
About the Programme

Governance institutions can improve performance
when they listen to the voices of the citizens. The Building Civic Leadership
empowered citizen can hold the governing
institutions accountable. Involvement of citizen Capacity Building of Panchayati Raj
leaders for accountable governance has been Institutions
demonstrated as effective method of social
accountability. About 650 Citizen leaders of Pre- Election Voter’s Awareness
seven blocks in two districts of Gujarat are Campaign
trained on conducting
Promotion of Social Accountability
citizen report card (CRC), Right to Information (RTI) camps, social audits of National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) and monitoring of basic services in both
urban and rural areas and are able to effectively engage with panchayats and urban local
bodies to improve delivery of service. Such demonstrations have help evolve methods
and tools on social accountability which have been shared with other civil society
organisations for wider application.
For enlarging the zone of influence on social accountability we have been working to
develop popular methodology and tools. We are working with the Department of Rural
Development, Government of Gujarat to facilitate a State wide social audit of NREGS.
Currently Unnati is facilitating the third round of social audit. Officials of all the 26
districts and about 2500 taluka level social audit facilitators are trained on social audit.
For the year 2008-09, the Ministry of Rural Developed awarded Unnati the
Jagrukta Puraskar’ award. For the Government of Himachal Pradesh GTZ has invited
Unnati to develop their social audit manual. Some of the popular knowledge products
developed from the field experiences are (i) Social audit manual and film, (ii) Film and
case compilation on role of citizen leader, (iii) Popular guide on citizen engagement in
urban development, (iv) City specific citizen report cards including video documentation
on monitoring basic services.
In nine small and medium towns in Gujarat, in collaboration with seven civil society
organisations, citizen’s report card (CRC) based monitoring of basic services was initiated.
The report card findings were shared with the municipal officials and elected
representatives. In all the nine towns, subsequent to the CRC, it was observed that there
was improvement in the services of water supply, garbage collection and street clearing.
The citizens also felt confident to raise the issues before the authorities. Based on the field
experience, a video documentary, ‘Citizen Speak: Report Card for Accountability’ has been
produced to further disseminate the methodology of citizen’s engagement.
Under the central assistance for Urban Infrastructure Development for Small and Medium
Towns (UIDSSMT), in Gujarat, 30 towns are implementing the housing projects called
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Project (IHSDP). We studied 10 towns to
examine, how far the poor are included in the project. This study is part of the process of
empowering the voice of the urban poor for demanding their entitlements. A report on this
study is available.
To promote social accountability, the following strategies are followed.
1 Create a community of social accountability practitioners from among citizen leaders of

. the affected communities, CBOs and local NGOs who will work on information disclosure,
monitoring basic services, tracking of the poor and programmes around them.
2 Building a people’s voice on local issues affecting their rights and entitlements in both
. urban and rural areas and enhance consultative process to facilitate implementation of
programmes and services in favour of the poor.
3 The social accountability practices, particularly tools, methods and processes can be
. derived from the existing practices and appropriately adopted for every day practice.
4 The field practices can be systematized into learning products for wider practice including
. academic learning.
5 Link up with the diverse social accountability network for mutual learning, solidarity and
. building and expanding collective to make wider impact on policies and programmes
nationally and internationally.
Social Audit in MGNREGA: Collaboration with Government of Gujarat
Unnati entered into a collaborative agreement with the Department of Rural Development,
Government of Gujarat to make strategic capacity building interventions to make
MGNREGA implementation effective. A group of professionals were deputed to the
Department to support the State Programme Coordinator in the areas of training, IEC,
grievance redressal, social audit and programme monitoring. In the entire process, our
experience in setting up a system for social audit was noteworthy. To facilitate social audit
in all the panchayats of Gujarat, a cadre of social audit facilitators were identified and
trained under the name ‘Taluka Resource Group’. In total 1291 independent facilitators
were selected and trained at the district level by 15 master trainers. A manual and film
was developed for training of the facilitators. These facilitators facilitated two rounds of
social audit during November 2009 and February 2010. To provide feedback on the quality
of social audit, 56 colleges from nine universities were invited to observe the process. In
total 3909 gram sabhas (37%) were observed. This initiative was led by the Principal
Secretary, Rural Development and Secretary Higher Education. The universities and the
college faculties were oriented on social audit process.

I. Need for Development of the Urban Sector

1. Background
(1) Need for Urban Sector Development: According to the 2001 census,
India has a population
of 1027 million with approximately 28per cent or 285 million people living in
urban areas.
As a result of the liberalization policies adopted by the Government of India
is expected to
increase the share of the urban population may increase to about 40 per
cent of total population
by the year 2021. It is estimated that by the year 2011, urban areas would
contribute about
65 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). However, this higher
productivity is contingent
upon the availability and quality of infrastructure services. Urban economic
activities are
dependent on infrastructure, such as power, telecom, roads, water supply
and mass
transportation, coupled with civic infrastructure, such as sanitation and solid
waste management.
(2) Investment Requirements in the Urban Sector: It is estimated that
over a seven-year period,
the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)1 would require a total investments of Rs.
1,20,536 crores.
This includes investment in basic infrastructure and services, that is, annual
funding requirement
of Rs. 17,219 crores. It is well recognised that in order to fructify these
investments, a national
level initiative is required that would bring together the State Governments
and enable ULBs
catalyse investment flows in the urban infrastructure sector.
2. Need for Reform Initiatives
(1) Harnessing the Potential of Reforms in Urban Infrastructure:
While several reform
initiatives have being taken e.g. the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act and
model municipal
law, there is potential for further reform-oriented steps in order to meet the
development
objectives. Reform initiatives also need to be taken further and articulated
by the State
Governments in order to create an investor-friendly environment.
URBAN SECTOR INVESTMENT REQUIREMENT
(Rs. crore)
Category Number of Investment Annual Funds
Cities Requirement Requirement
(over 7 years
starting 2005-06)
Cities with over 4 million population 7 57,143 8163.3
Cities with 1-4 million population 28 57,143 8613.3
Selected Cities with less than 1
million population 28 6,250 892.9
Total 63 1,20,536 17219.5
1In 63 identified cities
3
(2) Need for National-Level Reform-Linked Investments: There is a
need to integrate the
reform initiatives and scale up the effort to catalyse investment in urban
infrastructure across
States in the country. There is a felt need to set up an initiative that will
provide reformlinked
assistance to State Governments and ULBs in the country.
(3) Need for Sustainable Infrastructure Development: Another crucial
aspect requiring
immediate attention is that physical infrastructure assets created in urban
areas have generally
been languishing due to inadequate attention and/or improper O&M. The
fiscal flows to the
sector have laid emphasis only on the creation of physical assets. Not much
effort has been
made either to manage these assets efficiently or to achieve self-
sustainability. It is therefore
necessary that a link be established between asset creation and
management, as both are
important components for ensuring sustained service delivery. This is
proposed to be secured
through an agenda of reforms.
(4) Need for Efficiency Enhancement: Concurrent with statutory reforms,
such as the enactment
of a model municipal law, reduction in stamp duty, repeal of the Urban Land
(Ceiling and
Regulation) Act, 1976 (ULCRA) etc, there is an urgent need to take measures
to enhance
efficiencies in urban service deliveries.
3. Rationale for the JNNURM
(1) National Common Minimum Programme of the Government of
India: The National
Common Minimum Programme attaches the highest priority to the
development and
expansion of physical infrastructure. Accordingly, it is proposed to take up a
comprehensive
programme of urban renewal and expansion of social housing in towns and
cities, paying
attention to the needs of slum dwellers.
(2) Commitment to Achieving the Millennium Development Goals:
The Millennium
Development Goals commit the international community, including India, to
an expanded
vision of development as a key to sustaining social and economic progress.
As a part of its
commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals, the Government of
India proposes
to: (i) facilitate investments in the urban sector; and (ii) strengthen the
existing policies in
order to achieve these goals.
(3) Need for a Mission-led Initiative: Since cities and towns in India
constitute the second
largest urban system in the world, and contribute over 50 per cent of the
country’s GDP, they
are central to economic growth. For the cities to realise their full potential
and become
effective engines of growth, it is necessary that focused attention be given to
the improvement
of infrastructure.

II. Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban

Renewal Mission
1. The Mission
Mission Statement: The aim is to encourage reforms and fast track
planned development of identified
cities. Focus is to be on efficiency in urban infrastructure and service
delivery mechanisms, community
participation, and accountability of ULBs/ Parastatal agencies towards
citizens.
2. Objectives of the Mission
(1) The objectives of the JNNURM are to ensure that the following are
achieved in the urban
sector;.
(a) Focussed attention to integrated development of infrastructure services
in cities covered under
the Mission;.
(b) Establishment of linkages between asset-creation and asset-management
through a slew of
reforms for long-term project sustainability;.
(c) Ensuring adequate funds to meet the deficiencies in urban infrastructural
services;.
(d) Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas,
outgrowths and urban
corridors leading to dispersed urbanisation;.
(e) Scale-up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with
emphasis on universal
access to the urban poor;.
(f ) Special focus on urban renewal programme for the old city areas to
reduce congestion; and
(g) Provision of basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure
at affordable prices,
improved housing, water supply and sanitation, and ensuring delivery of
other existing universal
services of the government for education, health and social security.
3. Scope of the Mission
The Mission shall comprise two Sub- Missions, namely:
(1) Sub-Mission for Urban Infrastructure and Governance: This will be
administered by the
Ministry of Urban Development through the Sub- Mission Directorate for
Urban
Infrastructure and Governance. The main thrust of the Sub-Mission will be on
infrastructure
projects relating to water supply and sanitation, sewerage, solid waste
management, road
network, urban transport and redevelopment of old city areas with a view to
upgrading
infrastructure therein, shifting industrial and commercial establishments to
conforming areas, etc.
5
(2) Sub-Mission for Basic Services to the Urban Poor: This will be
administered by the Ministry
of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation through the Sub-Mission
Directorate for
Basic Services to the Urban Poor. The main thrust of the Sub-Mission will be
on integrated
development of slums through projects for providing shelter, basic services
and other related
civic amenities with a view to providing utilities to the urban poor.
4. Strategy of the Mission
The objectives of the Mission shall be met through the adoption of the
following strategy:
(1) Preparing City Development Plan: Every city will be expected to
formulate a City
Development Plan (CDP) indicating policies, programmes and strategies, and
financing plans.
(2) Preparing Projects: The CDP would facilitate identification of projects.
The Urban Local
Bodies (ULBs) / parastatal agencies will be required to prepare Detailed
Project Reports
(DPRs) for undertaking projects in the identified spheres. It is essential that
projects are
planned in a manner that optimises the life-cycle cost of projects. The life-
cycle cost of a
project would cover the capital outlays and the attendant O&M costs to
ensure that assets are
in good working condition. A revolving fund would be created to meet the
O&M requirements
of assets created, over the planning horizon. In order to seek JNNURM
assistance, projects
would need to be developed in a manner that would ensure and demonstrate
optimisation of
the life-cycle costs over the planning horizon of the project.
(3) Release and Leveraging of Funds: It is expected that the JNNURM
assistance would serve
to catalyse the flow of investment into the urban infrastructure sector across
the country.
Funds from the Central and State Government will flow directly to the nodal
agency designated
by the State, as grants-in-aid. The funds for identified projects across cities
would be disbursed
to the ULB/Parastatal agency through the designated State Level Nodal
Agency (SLNA) as
soft loan or grant-cum-loan or grant. The SLNA / ULBs in turn would leverage
additional
resources from other sources.
(4) Incorporating Private Sector Efficiencies: In order to optimise the
life-cycle costs over the
planning horizon, private sector efficiencies can be inducted in development,
management,
implementation and financing of projects, through Public Private Partnership
(PPP)
arrangements.
5. Duration of the Mission
The duration of the Mission would be seven years beginning from the year
2005-06. Evaluation
of the experience of implementation of the Mission would be undertaken
before the
commencement of Eleventh Five Year Plan and if necessary, the program
calibrated suitably.
6. Expected Outcomes of the JNNURM
On completion of the Mission period, it is expected that ULBs and parastatal
agencies will have
achieved the following:
6
(1) Modern and transparent budgeting, accounting, financial management
systems, designed
and adopted for all urban service and governance functions
(2) City-wide framework for planning and governance will be established and
become operational
(3) All urban residents will be able to obtain access to a basic level of urban
services
(4) Financially self-sustaining agencies for urban governance and service
delivery will be established,
through reforms to major revenue instruments
(5) Local services and governance will be conducted in a manner that is
transparent and accountable
to citizens
(6) E-governance applications will be introduced in core functions of
ULBs/Parastatal resulting
in reduced cost and time of service delivery processes.
7
III. Assistance under JNNURM

1. Financial Assistance under JNNURM
The Government of India has proposed substantial assistance through the
JNNURM over the
seven-year period. During this period, funds shall be provided for proposals
that would meet the
Mission’s requirements2.
Under JNNURM financial assistance will be available to the ULBs and
parastatal agencies which
could deploy these funds for implementing the projects themselves or
through the special purpose
vehicles (SPVs) that may be expected to be set up.
Assistance under JNNURM is additional central assistance, which would be
provided as grant
(100 per cent central grant) to the implementing agencies.
Further, assistance from JNNURM is expected to facilitate further investment
in the urban
sector. To this end, the implementing agencies are expected to leverage the
sanctioned funds
under JNNURM to attract greater private sector investments through PPP that
enables sharing
of risks between the private and public sector.
2. Areas of Assistance under JNNURM
(1) Assistance for Capacity Building, City Development Plan (CDP),
Detailed Project Reports
(DPRs), Community Participation, Information, Education and
Communication (IEC)
The JNNURM will provide assistance for the above-stated components with a
provision of
5 per cent of the total central assistance or the actual requirement, which
ever is less. In
addition, not more than 5 percent of the Central grant or the actual
requirement, whichever
is less may be used for Administrative and Other Expenses (A&OE) by the
States
For capacity building, ULBs and parastatal agencies could engage
consultants, in consultation
with the SLNA, and seek reimbursement from the Ministry of Urban
Development (MoUD)
of the Mnistry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation (MoUEPA).
(2) Investment Support Component
Investment support will be provided to implementing agencies on a project-
specific basis for
eligible sectors and projects proposed to be undertaken in eligible cities
subject to approval of
the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) of MoUD/
MoUEPA.
As part of the process for seeking investment support, each ULB seeking
assistance from the
JNNURM would be required to prepare a CDP that shall inter alia include
strategy to
2Refer Section IV: Eligible Cities, Sectors and Projects
8
implement reforms, city-level improvements and an investment plan to
address the
infrastructure needs in a sustainable manner.
Assistance under investment support can be deployed in the following forms:
(a) Enhancing Resource Availability: The JNNURM assistance can be used
to leverage additional
resources available with the ULBs in addition to their existing resources and
transfers from
the State. These resources could be utilised for capital investment and O&M
investments in
a project.
(b) Enhancing Commercial Viability of Projects: In respect of projects,
which are not
commercially viable on a stand-alone basis, assistance under the JNNURM
may be sought
for enhancing project viability. This assistance could be in the nature of
viability gap support
to projects.
(c) Ensuring Bankability of Projects: Cash flows of infrastructure projects
having long gestation
periods are susceptible to variations in cash flows, rendering a project non-
bankable. To enhance
predictability of underlying cash-flows, credit enhancement mechanisms
such as establishing
liquidity support mechanisms, up-front debt-service reserve facility, deep
discount bonds,
contingent liability support and equity support are required in order to make
the projects
bankable. The JNNURM assistance could therefore be used for funding such
support
mechanisms.
9

11
V. Agenda of Reforms
The thrust of the JNNURM is to ensure improvement in urban governance and
service delivery
so that ULBs become financially sound and sustainable for undertaking new
programmes. It is
also envisaged that, with the charter of reforms that are followed by the
State governments and
ULBs, a stage will be set for PPPs.
The agenda of reforms is given in the section below. The National Steering
Group (NSG) may
add additional reforms to identified reforms. A Memorandum of Agreement
(MoA) between
States/ULBs/Parastatal agencies and the Government of India, a prerequisite
for accessing the
Central assistance, would spell out specific milestones to be achieved for
each item of reform.
All mandatory and optional reforms shall be completed within the Mission
period.
1. Mandatory Reforms
(1) Mandatory Reforms at the Level of ULBs, and Parastatal
Agencies
(a) Adoption of modern accrual-based double entry system of accounting in
ULBs and
parastatal agencies.
(b) Introduction of a system of e-governance using IT applications, such GIS
and MIS for
various services provided by ULBs and parastatal agencies.
(c) Reform of property tax with GIS. It becomes a major source of revenue for
ULBs and
arrangements for its effective implementation so that collection efficiency
reaches at least
85 per cent within next seven years.
(d) Levy of reasonable user charges by ULBs and Parastatals with the
objective that the full
cost of O&M or recurring cost is collected within the next seven years.
However, cities
and towns in the North East and other special category States may recover
only 50 per
cent of O&M charges initially. These cities and towns should graduate to full
O&M cost
recovery in a phased manner.
(e) Internal earmarking, within local bodies, budgets for basic services to the
urban poor.
(f ) Provision of basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure
at affordable
prices, improved housing, water supply and sanitation. Delivery of other
existing universal
services of the government for education, health and social security is
ensured.
2) Mandatory Reforms at the Level of States
(a) Implementation of decentralisation measures as envisaged in 74th
Constitutional
Amendment Act. The State should ensure meaningful association and
engagement of
ULBs in planning the function of parastatal agencies as well as the delivery of
services to
the citizens.
(b) *Repeal of ULCRA.
12
(c) *Reform of Rent Control Laws balancing the interests of landlords and
tenants.
(d) Rationalisation of Stamp Duty to bring it down to no more than 5 per cent
within next
seven years.
(e) Enactment of the Public Disclosure Law to ensure preparation of medium-
term fiscal
plan of ULBs and parastatal agencies and release of quarterly performance
information to
all stakeholders.
(f ) Enactment of the Community Participation Law to institutionalise citizen’s
participation
and introduce the concept of the Area Sabha in urban areas.
(g) Assigning or associating elected ULBs with “city planning function”. Over
a period of
seven years, transferring all special agencies that deliver civic services in
urban areas to
ULBs and creating accountability platforms for all urban civic service
providers in
transition.

Hon’ble Chief Minister suggests separate

BPL Card System for TPDS
April 12, 2010 · 3 comments
3Share
Gujarat CM Shri Narendra Modi has been appointed as the Chairperson to Head the working
group on essential commodities and consumer price related subject with Chief Minister
Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu as other members. The working group has been set up
as follow up to the core group of meeting on price rise of the Centre Ministers and CMs headed
by Hon’ble Prime Minister in a meeting today.
Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi vehemently today suggested that under the “Below
Poverty Line” category there should be two separate card system (1) Jivan Raksha Card (Life
Security Card) for food security of poor and (2) Jivan Dhoran Sudharana Card (Life Standard
Improvement Card) for availing benefits under various welfare schemes of central and state
Governments. This separate BPL Card system will ensure food security over and above nutrition
benefits to vulnerable society beneficiaries and application of welfare scheme benefits like
housing, sanitation, health insurances, self employment and other benefits, he added.
Shri Narendra Modi pointed out that while allocating essentials commodities under TPDS,
Central Government should take into consideration the number of BPL Cards issued by the State
Government only to avoid discrepancy in the estimates of number of poor families in the
particular State. In this regard, Gujarat Government’s request is already pending with the Central
Government for allotment of food grains and other essential commodities for all 34 lakh BPL
families.
Gujarat CM instated on launching a national scheme covering say five hundred urban towns for
collecting their urban waste and converting to fertilizer and marketing them through fertilizer
companies. He also stressed treatment of urban waste water and using them for agricultural
production. This will not only keep urban area clean but also be great relief even for
environmental purpose.
Gujarat CM emphasised that food grain and food grain related commodities man for mass
consumption should be kept out of future trading in commodities.
Gujarat Chief Minister today made a number of suggestions to curb the prices of essential
commodities in the first meeting of the Core Group of Central Ministers and State Chief
Ministers on Prices of Essential Commodities held in Delhi at PM house under the chairmanship
of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. He said that Government of India should develop a
mechanism for constant monitoring of availability of pulses, sugar and other commodities in
appropriate price band and in the event of such price band being exceeded; GoI should plan
maintaining the minimum stocks of such essential commodities for their release through public
distribution system at affordable prices. There should be some inbuilt mechanism in the policy
that the benefits arising out of confessional imports actually percolate down to the common man.
Instead of common man, more often the importers reap benefit from concessions on the imports.
At present tsunami of price rise has not only affected common man but also the farmers and
livestock, he added.
Gujarat CM also suggested that the design of TPDS for delivery of essential commodities should
be ensured maximum participation of women from every house hold of the target groups and
emphasised the need of scientific management of FCI operation and constitute a committee
which can look into the issue of implementation of welfare schemes for urban poor.
While speaking at the first meeting of the Core Group, Gujarat CM emphasized on the need for
taking major initiatives on increasing agriculture production and productivities with
strengthening the legal provision of Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and Prevention of Black-
marketing (PBM) Act 1980. GoI should also consider setting up the special courts for speedy
trial of cases under Essential Commodities Act as well as restoration of appellate powers to State
Governments. The detention period should be increased from six months to 12 months under
Section 13 of the PBM Act, 1980, he suggested.
Addressing the members of Core Group, he said that development of wasteland could be an
important component of the strategy for price control as it will help in increasing the agriculture
production. He pointed out that GoI had constituted a committee headed by him to recommend
measures for utilization of waste lands in the country. The committee has already submitted its
report to GoI, however, no action has been taken on the recommendation of this committee.
Gujarat CM strongly recommended that GoI should undertake development of large tracts of
waste lands in the PPP mode for agriculture use. This will not only help in improving the
agriculture production but also provide large scale employment to the rural people. GoI should
consider this suggestion and devise an appropriate scheme for development of wastelands in the
country.
Emphasizing the need of interlinking of rivers, Shri Modi said that besides using wastelands,
water is another important factor for increasing agriculture production. Gujarat is the first State
of country to get 21 rivers into a grid and start grid-cum-canal network successfully to become a
role model for country. It is high time that GoI should take lead in implementing such an
initiative across the country.
Giving an example of his government, Chief Minister Modi said that Gujarat has achieved
considerable agricultural growth (9.6%) during 10th Five Year Plan with decreasing agriculture
production volatility due to targeted policies and initiatives of the State Government. The
production of food grains and cotton has been increased by 81% and 300% in year 2007-08
compared to the year 2002-03. The State Government’s strategy to achieve this was to
concentrate on the most important factors affecting the agricultural production. Macro and micro
level plan is required to increase agricultural production and productivity along with long term
policies for sustained agricultural growth at national level, he suggested.
Gujarat CM also narrated the State Government’s initiatives on rain water harvesting movement,
promotion of micro irrigation, Jyotigram Scheme, Krishi Mahotsav etc. To reduce the volatility,
the State Government has undertaken a massive program for creating water harvesting structures
as a prelude to Krishi Mahotsav which is organized in May for a month. Due to this concerted
effort, the State Government has been able to build 1,76,270 Check Dams, 2,40,199 Khet
Talavadis (Farm-pond) along with renovation and restoration of village tanks and 55,917
Boribund (sandbag dams) etc under public private partnership in Mission mode. This has created
means for live saving supportive irrigation for Kharif crops. He urged the GoI to provide
financial support to all States for this purpose. Massive support is required from Central
Government for such programme, he said.
Gujarat CM also apprised that State Government has initiated a programme where about 34 lakh
poor families will be provided with Soya based fortified atta. The programme will require 4 crore
kg of wheat and 20000 kg of Soya. The State has affiliated with 50 flour mills to carry out the
process. The atta will be sold at 2 rupees per kg. The project will be implemented with the cost
of Rs.200 crores and will benefit BPL families and card holders of “Antyodaya Yojna”.
