The JN-NURM – Heritage Context

Initially launched for 60 cities in 2005 as a 7-year programme, currently there are 63 cities in
the Mission. Of these 8 are classified as Heritage Cities-viz:-
o Mathura, Mysore, Puri, Bodhgaya, Ajmer-Pushkar, Ujjain, Haridwar and
Nanded (Primarily of Cultural - Historical or Pilgrimage Tourism significance).
Two others are of tourism significance – viz Srinagar and Nainital. Of the other
53 cities, 35 are metros (including Varanasi and Amritsar) and 18 are State
Capitals. These too have heritage to be conserved, including the metros of
Amritsar and Varanasi.
Initially a single toolkit was issued for all 63 cities. However, a supplementary toolkit is being
devised by MoUD and INTACH for heritage conservation and where :
o Heritage conservation is the main component (as in the 8 cities above,
including Mathura)
o Heritage enhancement is a major concern (as in the other 55 cities
The CDP for Mathura has accordingly been restructured to fit into the draft
supplementary toolkit without losing the renewal focus of Mathura.
The Regional Context
Mathura– the birthplace of Lord Krishna is one of the prime destinations for pilgrimage in
India. The contiguous settlement of Vrindavan is intrinsically related to this pilgrimage. Also
a majority of devotees visit Goverdhan in its vicinity. Accordingly, catering to a floating
population with focus on the river Yamuna is a major requirement in a plan for Mathura. At
the same time, this group of settlements is strategically located. The national expressway
(North-South corridor) cuts through the area and practically the entire southbound rail traffic
from Delhi and North West India is dispersed at Mathura Junction for both goods and
Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. i

people. Rail traffic to Rajasthan via Alwar and to central UP via Hathras also converges on
Mathura. The proposed Agra-Noida Expressway east of the Yamuna would further add to
the accessibility of Mathura.
Therefore along with pilgrim convergence and related religious-cultural tourism, enhancing
the importance of the river Yamuna, national transportation dispersal of goods and people
by road and rail, the proper operation of Mathura refinery, its ancillaries and other
industries, placed on the authorities a heavy responsibility of regulated development in a
major and growing concentration of regular inhabitants and floating population within a
major district of U.P. Along with this, the growing gap in civic infrastructure required
coordinated actions by the urban and rural local bodies of Mathura District working in unison
with the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) and District Authorities. These
issues were addressed in the Perspective Plan proposed for the Mathura Vrindavan Area
with a 20 year perspective (2000-21) by the MVDA.
Mathura - Core of the MVA
Though the established foci of the expanded MVA are the religious settlements of a)
Mathura, b) Vrindavan and c) Govardhan requiring the footprints of these to be protected
and enhanced along with their temples, parikramas, kunds and other benchmarks along
with river Yamuna and its bunds, the proposals herein are for Mathura city and which has a
Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) within the larger MVA region. This priority is justified due to
Mathura City being at the core of the Braj Boomi and the entreport of this group of
settlements. Accordingly its environment needs serious renewal for the benefit of both – its
residents and the accelerating floating population of pilgrims regional, national and
international to the larger Mathura-Vrindavan area and also to Goverdhan.
The Planning & Consultation Process
The preparation of the Mathura CDP involved extensive consultations, throughout its
preparation period. The consultative strategy involved interaction with various stakeholders
like: Senior Citizens, Departments, Institutions / Groups, Industrialists, Citizens at ward
level, and local elected representatives, media. The process was facilitated by the media, to
impress upon the general citizens about the objectives of JNNURM and CDP for Mathura.
During the preparation of the CDP, two workshops were held apart from regular
interdepartmental consultations, and ward level discussions. Press meetings were held
regularly during the plan preparation phase.
All the concerned government departments and institutions were consulted during the three
month CDP process. Meetings were held individually with various departments. It involved
site visits for further discussions. The ward level consultations involved discussions with
senior citizens, local residents about the issues and challenges regarding the infrastructure,
services delivery and developmental issues. Besides the consultation process, the
extensive visits to 45 wards of the city was completed by the consultants with the help of
local elected representatives and ward level senior citizens. The former elected councilors
of the municipality were also contacted about the development issues required in various
sectors (at present there are no elected representatives in place) . The ward level visits to
slum areas were also done with the help of the District Urban Development Agency
(DUDA). Slum issues were mapped and discussed with various representatives like CBOs,
RCVs, and citizens. The women’s participation and development issues were also
discussed and were sensitized about the programmes for the development process at the
ward level under JNNURM .
The press and media played an important role during the entire plan preparation. The
citizens were sensitized regularly through newspapers, local channels about the JNNURM
Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. ii

and city development processes. The citizens were encouraged to send suggestions and
come forward for further discussions with the team regarding their needs at local and city
level. Heritage and tourism was a basic issue of the Mathura CDP, consultations were held
with INTACH Delhi and the Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH at Mathura. Several views
emerged and this has helped shape the CDP. The listing done by INTACH has 428 entries.
The open consultation process involved interaction with citizens in the municipality NPP
office for the draft CDP prepared by the consultants. The presentations regarding the city
assessment in terms of the infrastructure, service delivery , governance , urban poor and
slums were exposed along with the vision and development strategies. Based on these
consultations and the field level visits and other consultations, the projects were identified
and put for regional, city and ward level development.

focuses on (i) improving and augmenting the economic and social infrastructure of cities; (ii)
ensuring basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices;
(iii) initiating wide-ranging urban sector reforms whose primary aim is to eliminate legal,
institutional and financial constraints that have impeded investment in urban infrastructure
and services; and (iv) strengthening municipal governments and their functioning in
accordance with the provisions of the Constitution (Seventy-Fourth) Amendment Act, 1992.
The objective of the JNNURM are to ensure that the following are achieved in the urban
sector:
x Focused attention to integrated development of infrastructure services in cities;
x Establishment of linkages between asset-creation and asset-management through a
slew of reforms for long term project sustainability;
x Ensuring adequate funds to meet the deficiencies in urban infrastructure services;
x Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, outgrowths and
urban corridors leading to dispersed urbanization;
x Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on
universal access to the urban poor;
x Special focus on urban renewal programmes for old city areas to reduce congestion;
and
x Provision of basic services to the urban poor including improved housing, water
supply and sanitation, and ensuring delivery of other existing universal services of
the government for education, health and social security.
JNNURM comprises of two sub-missions, namely (i) Sub-Mission for Urban

Infrastructure and Governance, and (ii) Sub-Mission for Basic Services to the Urban
Poor.
The Government of India has proposed substantial assistance through the JNNURM to the
selected Mission cities. In Uttar Pradesh, seven cities have been identified for
assistance under the Mission viz, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Agra, Varanasi and
Meerut. In addition Mathura has been selected as a major heritage city of India.
In order to apply for grant assistance under JNNURM, the Government of India requires
eligible cities to (i) formulate a medium term City Development Plan (CDP); (ii) prepare
project proposals based on the CDP; and (iii) draw up a time-frame for implementing the
urban sector reforms.
As one of the eligible Mission cities, Mathura has to formulate a CDP that meets the
requirements laid down in the guidelines prescribed by Government of India (Ministry of
Urban Development and Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation).
2 Objectives of the Consultancy
The City Development Plan provides the starting point for the reform by identifying core City
challenges, a Perspective and Vision for the future development of the City, its present
stage of development and current status. This lead to the directions for change.
The CDP is to focus on the development of economic and social infrastructure, policies and
Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise Pvt. Ltd.

viii
programmes addressing the specific issues of urban poor, strengthening of municipal

governments, and their financial management and accounting processes, promoting
transparency in their functioning, and pointedly strengthening Mathura, as a pilgrim / tourist
destination.
The CDP also provides a direction for cities and State Governments to undertake certain
urban sector reforms which will facilitate flow of investments into city based infrastructure.
This makes it imperative for cities to systematically determine how they wish to shape their
future.
Therefore, the basic objective of the Consultancy is to formulate a City Development Plan
(CDP) for Mathura City, in consultation with all the relevant stakeholders, in accordance
with the guidelines issued by the Government of India. As the funding for infrastructure
under JNNURM is contingent upon the City having a CDP, which must be cleared by the
Government of India (GoI), an important aspect of the consultancy is to ensure that the
CDP as prepared meets the requirements and appraisal standards of the GoI. The CDP
shall, inter-alia, provide the basis within which projects will be identified for funding under
JNNURM and the details of such projects.
3. Scope of Work
This CDP prepared in the context of the toolkits, guidelines and instructions provided by the
MOUD and MOUEPA of the GoI and the Department of Urban Development (DoUD)
Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP)/ SRC from time to time.
The CDP was prepared as a multi-stage exercise involving the following:
(i) City assessment: Analysis of existing situation.
(ii) Development of strategic agenda and vision for the city
(iii) Evolving strategies for development
(iv) Developing a City Investment Plan and Financial Strategy
3.1 City Assessment: Analysis of Existing Situation
These encompass:-
o An analysis of the existing situation focusing on demographic analysis and economic

activities, land use, urban infrastructure and urban services (like transportation,
parking, water supply, sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, drainage)
heritage and environment slum upgrading and financial and managerial implications;
o The financial status of the City Government and parastatals and other agencies
dealing with the service provision including an analysis of their credit worthiness,
effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional frameworks;
o Critical assessment as well as projections of the population growth, floating

population, tourism infrastructure needs and resource requirements in the short-
term, medium term and long-term perspective;
o Urban poverty, characteristics of slums e.g social set up, availability of urban basic
and social services and on-going slum improvement programmes;

ix
o Areas of inner city (urban renewal) which needs to be redeveloped; an analysis of

present status of availability of urban basic services including the condition of the
infrastructure;
o Identification of existing nature of commercial and industrial establishments and

identification of those industries and commercial establishments which are not in
conformity to the broadly existing land-use planning and zoning regulations in the
inner city areas.
o Heritage conservation as the major thrust of Mathura. This encompasses both, the
natural and manmade heritage.
o To highlight the “Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats” (SWOT

Analysis) of the City Government/ parastatal agencies and related Government
departments in the City’s specific context to provide an understanding of the factors
responsible for inefficient and inadequate production and delivery of urban services,
their managerial deficiencies and financial constraints and to highlight critical factors
which calls urgent remedial measures at the city and State governments level.
o Situational analysis in consultation with all the stakeholders and civil society at the
city level.
3.2 Development of Strategic Agenda and a Vision for the City
Based on the outcomes of the City Assessment, the second stage envisages:-
o Development of City Vision to guide the future development of the city highlighting
the direction of change and working out an Action agenda with a specific timeframe.
This is to be in consultation with all the stakeholders and civil society in the city. The
consultations focus also on broad assessment of municipal resources, possible
impact on the municipal budget and the proposal for reform to support development.
o Based on the Vision, strategies focusing attention on growth management,

redevelopment of the inner-city, urban infrastructure and basic services, slum
improvement, housing for the poor, and provision of basic and social services for
them, consultation of heritage areas, preservation of water bodies, and
redevelopment of inner city areas;
o A strategy identifying key strategic issues, risks and opportunities facing the city with
focus on reform and reform priorities;
o Defining outcomes and milestones on the Vision and ensure these are measurable
and have a timeframe;
3.3 Evolving Strategies for Development
This element of work involves highlighting interventions to operationalize the Vision and
future development of the city. This includes:
o Identification of options and strategies and their evaluation keeping in view their
contribution to the goals, objectives and the reform agenda of the JNNURM.
o Translating the strategies into programmes and projects and
o Identifying the programmes which have maximum / optimum contribution to the
achievement of city’s Vision and medium term perspectives.

x
Prioritization of the strategies, programmes and projects needs to be done on a consultative

process with all the stakeholders.
3.4 Developing a City Investment Plan and Financing Strategy
Preparation of City Investment Plan (CIP) which includes:-
o The level of investment requirements to implement the CDP by adopting the

financial norms or standards for service provision and their upgradation, restoration,
relocation etc, and directly estimating the cost of implementing the reform agenda.
o Evaluation of financial options and strategies for financing the Vision as enumerated
in the CDP.
o Areas in which city government could finance by mobilizing resources or in

association with other tiers of government or financing institutions, access to capital
market or enlist the private sector participation and the steps needed to facilitate its
participation etc.
o Broad strategies for financial viability of the proposed investments and improving
financial sustainability. This would includes options for PPP in service delivery and /
or O&M, wherever relevant. The investment schedule lay out the costs and revenue
estimates of all priority projects in the next seven years of the Mission period. The
preparation of CIP would be an iterative process requiring the adjustments and
rescheduling to make the whole package work financially.
4. The JN-NURM – Heritage Context
Initially launched for 60 cities in 2005 as a 7-year programme, currently there are 63 cities
in the Mission. Of these 8 are classified as Heritage Cities-viz:-
o Mathura, Mysore, Puri, Bodhgaya, Ajmer-Pushkar, Ujjain, Haridwar and
Nanded (Primarily of Cultural - Historical or Pilgrimage Tourism significance).
Two others are of tourism significance-viz Srinagar and Naini Tal. Of the other
53 cities, 35 are metros (including Varanasi and Amritsar) and 18 are State
Capitals. These too have heritage to be conserved, including the metros of
Amritsar and Varanasi.
Initially a single toolkit was issued for all 63 cities. However, a supplementary toolkit is being
devised by MoUD and INTACH for heritage conservation and where.
a) Heritage conservation is the main component (as in the 8 cities above,
including Mathura)
b) Heritage enhancement is a major concern (as in the other 55 cities)
The CDP for Mathura has accordingly been restructured to fit into the draft supplementary
toolkit without losing the renewal focus of Mathura.

SECTION A: MATHURA REGIONAL CONTEXT

A1 THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHURA CITY AND ITS HERITAGE
A1.1 Introduction
Mathura– the birthplace of Lord Krishna is one of the prime destinations for pilgrimage in
India. The contiguous settlement of Vrindavan is intrinsically related to this pilgrimage. Also
a majority of devotees visit Goverdhan in its vicinity. Accordingly, catering to a floating
population with focus on the river Yamuna is a major requirement in a plan for Mathura. At
the same time, this group of settlements is strategically located. The national expressway
(North-South corridor) cuts through the area and practically the entire southbound rail traffic
from Delhi and North West India is dispersed at Mathura Junction for both goods and
people. Rail traffic to Rajasthan via Alwar and to central UP via Hathras also converges on
Mathura. The proposed Agra-Noida Expressway east of the Yamuna would further add to
the accessibility of Mathura.
Therefore along with pilgrim convergence and related religious-cultural tourism, enhancing
the importance of the river Yamuna, national transportation dispersal of goods and people
by road and rail, placed on the authorities a heavy responsibility of regulated development
in a major and growing concentration of regular inhabitants and floating population within a
major district of U.P. Along with this, the growing gap in civic infrastructure required
coordinated actions by the urban and rural local bodies of Mathura District working in unison
with the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) and District Authorities. These
issues were addressed in the Perspective Plan proposed for the Mathura Vrindavan Area
(MVA) with a 20 year perspective (2000-21) by the MVDA.
A1.2 Mathura at the Core of the MVA
Though the 3 established foci of the expanded MVA are the religious settlements of a)
Mathura, b) Vrindavan and c) Govardhan requiring the footprints of these to be protected
and enhanced along with their temples, parikramas, kunds and other benchmarks along
with river Yamuna and its bunds, the proposals herein are for Mathura city and which has a
Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) within the larger MVA region. This priority is justified due to
Mathura City being at the core of the Braj Boomi and the entreport of this group of
settlements. Accordingly its environment needs serious renewal for the benefit of both – its
residents and the accelerating floating population of pilgrims-regional, national and
international to the larger Mathura-Vrindavan area and also to Goverdhan. However, the
census considers the Mathura NP and Mathura Cantonment as a common Urban
Agglomeration (UA). Thus for purposes of bulk urban services, the cantonment would also
be considered in this programme.
A1.3 The Heritage of Mathura
The religious city of Mathura has a railway junction, which is the entry point to this group of
settlements. A long line of ghats with their steps leading to the edge of the Yamuna,
arched gateways and temple spires extending along the western bank of the River Yamuna,
emphasize the sacred character of Mathura. An ancient settlement with origins embedded
in history, Mathura was strategically located at the cross roads of various trade routes that
went to West Asia and the Roman Empire; to Central Asia, via Taxila, Pushkalavati and
Purushapur and the Silk Route and eastwards to China. This ensured its position as a
centre of trade and a meeting point for varied cultures.
Today, it is a city of temples and shrines with thousands of devotees who come each day to
visit the city of Lord Krishna. An imposing temple at the Katra Keshav Dev marks the spot

1
that is believed to be the Shri Krishna Janmasthan – the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Another
impressive shrine, the Gita Mandir located on the Mathura-Vrindavan Road has a fine
image of Lord Krishna in its sanctum. The whole of the Bhagwad Gita is inscribed on the
walls of the temple. A popular shrine is the
Dwarikadhish Temple to the north of the town,
dedicated to Lord Krishna and built in 1815.
The settlement stretches along the west bank
of the Yamuna and the continuous line of
ghats along the river are best viewed from the
opposite bank. The ghats are believed to
have been built at the sites of ancient
ashrams, where the great sages performed
their penances on both the west and east
banks. These are pilgrimage spots today
especially the west bank which are centres of
religious and cultural activity, where the Holi Gate ( Tilak Dwar) : 1847
people come to have their ritual dips in the
holy river. Of 37 identified Ghats in Mathura
24 are of significance of which the most important is the Vishram Ghat, where according to
legend, Lord Krishna took his rest after killing Kansa.
It is at Vishram Ghat that the traditional Braja Mandala parikrama (circumambulation of all
the important religious and cultural spots of the settlement) starts and ends. The 12 ghats to
the north of Vishram Ghat include the Ganesh Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat with its
Neelakantheshwar Temple, Saraswati
Sangam Ghat, Chakratirtha Ghat,
Krishnaganga Ghat, Somatirth or Swami
Ghat, Ghantagharan Ghat, Dharapattan Ghat,
Vaikuntha Ghat, Navtirtha or Varahkshetra
Ghat, Asikunda Ghat, and Manikarnika Ghat.
To the south, there are 11 ghats - the
Guptatirth Ghat, Prayag Ghat marked by the
Veni Madhav Temple, Shyam Ghat, Ram
Ghat, Kankhal Ghat, the site of the
Janmashtami and Jhula festivals, Dhruva
Ghat, Saptrishi Ghat, Mokshatirth Ghat, Surya
Ghat, Ravan Koti Ghat, and Buddha Ghat.
Some of Mathura's most important shrines Potra Kund : Krishna Janam Bhoomi
are found around Vishram Ghat - the Mukut,
Radha-Damodar, Murli Manohar,
Neelkantheshwar, Yamuna-Krishna, Langali Hanuman and Narasimha temples. The
baithak of the great Vaishnava, Shri Chaitanya, is also near by.
History tells us that this important site was

ravaged and patronized in equal measure over
the ages. It was badly damaged during early
invasions but two Vaishnavite saints, Keshav
Kashmiri and Vallabhacharya restored its
sanctity during the time of Sikander Lodhi. It
received patronage during the rule of Akbar
when the temples were repaired and
embellished but again time and events took
their toll.

No pilgrimage to Mathura is complete

without a visit to its kunds. Tradition has
it that there were 159 ancient kunds. Of
these only four survive today. There is
the elegant Shiv Tal, the more famous
Potara Kund associated closely with
Lord Krishna besides the Balbhadra and
Saraswati kunds. Since then, the Braj
Foundation have identified another eight
kunds that are worthy of being restored.
These are Talab Wali Dharamshala,
Yogmaya, Mahavidya, Gokarneshwar,
Chamunda, Kankali, Chaktra Teerth and
Naag. Dedicated efforts are required to
restore and beautify these kunds
The city has a number of Shaivite

temples as well. The chief among these
are the Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple in
the west of the town, the Gokarneshwar
Temple in the north, the Rangeshwar
Mahadev Temple in the south and the Pipaleshwar Mahadev Temple to the east. The
Mathura parikrama, and the bunds in relation to the river is highlighted in Map A1.
The Parikramas of Goverdhan and Vrindavan are of equal importance. They all come within
the larger Braja Mandala Parikrama. Of these religious historical areas, only the Mathura
Nagar Palika Parishad area of the Mathura UA area is currently part of the JNNURM. It is
therefore analyzed for urban services, urban renewal projects, basic services for the urban
poor, urban reforms and strengthening of the local body through a Vision Plan and City
Development Plan (CDP) and City Investment Plan (CIP).
A1.4 The Need for a Mathura Vision
A city development plan for Mathura NPP area has to sit within a 20 year spatial
vision that is different from that of other metropolitan areas or state capitals.
Conservation becomes a central part of the development process in Mathura. Thus a
synergy emerges between a cultural-historical tourism magnet as a pilgrim centre
catering to an increasing number of pilgrims of modest to low income levels. In this
process the relationship of Mathura NPP, Mathura Cantonment, the Mathura MVDA
and Mathura district assumes significance.
A2 THE CONTEXT FOR THE MATHURA CITY VISION AND ITS CDP
A2.1 The Broader Objectives
With the 73rd (rural) and 74th (urban) constitution amendment acts (CAA’s), several states
have focussed on State Development Vision Plans (20 years) e.g. Jharkhand, Chattisgarh.
In the State of Uttar Pradesh (UP) however a state vision gets blurred due to the sheer size
of the state. Nonetheless, several state level sectoral vision documents have been prepared
notably in terms of agriculture, tourism, housing and transport. These would undoubtedly
be integrated in the State Spatial Strategy Plan when prepared. In the meanwhile, the
Development Authorities of the large urban agglomerations of UP have prepared Vision
Plans for their operational areas. It is envisaged that such vision or guidance plans would

3
be processed as broad brush Spatial Strategy Plans for the development authority areas.
For the MVDA jurisdiction, within Mathura district, this is of particular significance as it looks
at three municipalities (nagar palikas), eight Nagar Panchayats and one cantonment, within
all the three Tehsils of Mathura District and in all its 10 Blocks. Therefore the Draft District
Development Plan (DDP) as required under the 73rd CCA and legislatively catered to
under State Acts, can advantageously be addressed so as to make its interface with
the MVA Prespective Plan meaningful. The specific vision plan for Mathura City
would fit well in this DPC framework. It would also facilitate the Mathura CDP. This
fact is underlined upfront in this report as unlike a majority of the other 63
settlements in the mission, Mathura UA would not be a candidate for a Metropolitan
Planning Committee (MPC) for a very long time.
Thus Mathura UA and NPP within Mathura DPC has to deal with several negative impacts.
These include:
x Increasing mixed traffic and resultant congestion, pollution and

environmental degradation;
x Encroachments on environmentally sensitive areas (particularly the
Yamuna banks, water bodies (Kunds), areas round religious buildings,
forests and orchards and
x Increasing demand for urban services, particularly the supply of potable
water and power and the treatment of wastewater, collection and disposal
of solid waste and improved drainage.
These impacts are broadly addressed in the approved MVDA Plan 2021 through.
x A viable spatial framework for social and economic investments over a 20-
year period.
x To a recognition and building on the distinctive characteristics of the MVA
particularly in terms of its religious and cultural values, history and natural
systems.
x Stress on a continual improvement for good governance through
transparency, participation, accountability and effective management.
Thus in the MVDA Plan 2021 implicitly for Mathura UA (NPP + Cant.), the key focus has
been on:
x Proposals catering to a religious-cultural tourism based on its growing

floating pilgrim population due to Braj incorporating Mathura, Vrindavan,
Goverdhan, the Yamuna and its ghats and the Kunds;
x Small- scale pilgrim related industrial growth;
x The impact of the North South expressway that cuts through the district;
x The impact of the Taj Expressway linking Agra to Noida east of the
Yamuna, and
x The rapid growth of Mathura as a key railway junction for goods and
people;
x The sanitization of low income pockets and / or their insitu reconstruction
where access to livelihoods is of importance.

A2.2 The Contextual Framework
In the case of the MVA, assessment of the District and its three Tehsils were the essential
starting points for a development strategy for the MVA. In this process the MVDA mobilised
and engaged the state and its offices, central government departments pertaining to rail,
road, defence needs, refinery, etc., the various participating local bodies, the religious,
social, cultural and business, trade and manufacturing interests, the community, NGOs,
CBOs and other stakeholders within a wider participatory process. The rapid appraisal of
the Mathura Nagar Palika had taken into account this contextual framework by the MVDA
for the Braj region.
Also, over the last decade there has been a critical change in the roles and functions of
urban development agencies. This has led to serious concerns about the functioning of
urban local bodies in people centric programmes and for which there are no alternatives to
local government and their disaggregated wards as a basic unit of urban governance. For
this, urban local bodies have to set themselves with a vision for the development of their
geographic area. For this, the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority’s (MVDA) 20-year
perspective plan 2021, programmed into five yearly phases for a balanced and integrated
urban development of the wider Mathura Vrindavan area provides the basis. On this the
Mathura NPP is to flesh out its vision plan over a 20 year framework and enfold its City
Development Plan (CDP) for 5 years to be extended by another 2 years. Therefore, unlike
other exercises under JNNURM, the Vision, CDP, CIP and projects for the Heritage
City of Mathura has perforce to sit into the larger perspective for Braj as projected in
the perspective plan 2021 for the MVDA and which has undergone an intensive
consultative process over the past two years. In this exercise, the basic urban
services needs of the cantonment is also considered.
In a subsequent exercise a vision and CDP for Vrindavan could be enmeshed in this form of
synergetic sustainable development for this prime cultural historical area of Braj.
A3. THE STATE, DISTRICT AND MVA DETERMINANTS FOR THE MATHURA
VISION AND CDP
A3.1 The State Context
Map A2 shows the geographic location of the

State of UP within India. It is the central
component of the great north Indian alluvium
through which the Ganges and Yamuna and
various tributaries meander. Some of the
busiest rail and road routes pass through this
largely agrarian state with accelerating
success stories towards industrialisation and
improving infrastructure. The belt has a better
ground water base than most parts of India.
Uttar Pradesh is the most populous State of

the country (166.52 million in 2001). In area
(0.24 million sq.km.) however it is smaller
than Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The high
decadal growth of population of the State -
25.80 per cent between 1991-2001 against
the national average of 21.34 per cent in this
period is a cause for concern. In fact, UP is
Map A2: State of Uttar Pradesh within India

5
one of the few states where the decadal growth rate has been higher in 1991-2001 than in
the previous decade of 1981-91 (25.55 per cent – UP but 23.86 per cent – All India). Also,
the sex-ratio of 898 in 2001 has been lower than the All India average of 933 and the
literacy rate in this period was just 57.36 per cent against the national average of 65.38 per
cent. Worse still, the female literacy rate has been a low 42.98 per cent against the all India
average of 54.16 per cent. These disadvantageous comparisons offer a challenge to the
State and which has nearly a 17 per cent representation in the National Parliament (nearly
one in every seven).
In 2001, barely 20.78 per cent of the population of the State were in urban areas (against
27.78 per cent at the All India level). However, this population spread over 633 urban
settlements, accounted for 12.72 per cent of the national urban population and which was
just behind Maharashtra with 14.38 per cent (largely round the Mumbai region). Primarily
population shifts in UP are intra-state from rural to urban. There is also substantial
movements outside the state notably to the mega city of Delhi and even Mumbai.
A3.2 Agra Division
The state is divided into 70 districts as

per the census 2001. These are
grouped into 17 divisions. Seven
districts comprise of Agra division.
These districts as per census 2001 are
Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Hathras,
Ferozabad, Etah and Mainpuri (refer
map A3)
The divisional headquarters are at Agra

and which at the urban agglomeration
level is one of the 35 metropolitan areas
of India. The division has three of the
Major 20 development authorities of the
State viz. Agra, Mathura-Vrindavan and
Aligarh. The river Yamuna passes
through the division and which is an
integral part of the flat north Indian
alluvium. It is therefore rich in agriculture
produce. More importantly, the Yamuna
contributes to its religious and
pilgrimage fervour especially in the
western districts of Mathura and Agra.
Historical-cultural tourism is a major
economic activity in Agra District just
as pilgrim tourism makes Mathura-
Vrindavan a destination. Therefore
substantial central and state
government resources have been
allotted for infrastructure improvements
in the division – notably in the national
expressway (as a tollway) and in
upgrading state and district roads,
railway guage conversion and
doubling/electrification of broad guage
tracks, environmental improvement of
the Yamuna and its tributaries, improved

6
air connectivity, tourism infrastructure, small scale industries, tertiary sector activities and
other forms of social and physical infrastructure. Laterly, the State Government has
spearheaded the Agra-Noida expressway as the Taj Expressway. This is going to have a
major impact on the growth of the division.
The Commissioner of Agra division is the Chairman of the Mathura-Vrindavan Development

Authority in addition to his other duties.
A3.3 Mathura District
Mathura District is bounded by the State of Rajasthan to its west, the State of Haryana to its
north and the Agra division districts of Aligarh to its east, Etah and Firozabad to its south-
east and Agra to its south (Refer Map No.A4).The district has an area of 3,329.40 sq. kms
and its population was 20.70 lakhs in 2001. In 1991, its population was 16.49 lakhs giving a
decennial increase of 20.00 percent against 25.80 percent for the state as a whole.
As shown on Map A4 the district comprises of three tehsils and ten blocks (Refer table 1A):

A3.4 The District Profile
A3.4.1 The river Yamuna meanders through the district. The district has 734 inhabited
villages; these are grouped into 89 rural panchayats. It has 16 urban settlements of which
three have nagar palikas viz. Mathura, Vrindavan and Chhata. The other 13 have nagar
panchayats. In 2001, the average density of the District was 622 persons per sq. km (689
for the State). In 1991 the sex ratio was 816 females per 1000 males. In the same period,
the literacy rate was 35.28 percent (approximately 67 percent male and 23 percent female).
In 2001, the literacy rates have improved to be nearly at par with the state but yet, it is far
below the national average, especially the female rate. Thus, though the district is
heavily transversed by train and road, its rural component in particular remains
underdeveloped both socially and economically. The main urban areas however are
comparatively better off due to the large floating (pilgrimage) population throughout the year
and its related economic activities.Table 1B indicates the estimated Tehsil and blockwise
population and density of the District as estimated from the census of 2001 and by the
MVDA.

The density indicated in table 1B above is incorporated in map form (Map A5).
Apart from the urban concentration of Mathura-Vrindavan in Mathura block, the overall
density is highest in Mant tehsil and lowest in Chhata tehsil. This indicates that growth is
geared eastwards towards the other districts of UP rather than towards Haryana and
west towards Rajasthan. However, the road and rail system as emerging are at present
governing the growth of the district through the expanded MVA under the MVDA. This
favours Chhata tehsil rather than Mant tehsil east of the Yamuna. However, the proposed
Agra- Noida expressway would
change the growth profile of the
district, towards Mant block of the
District
A3.4.2 Climate
The average annual rainfall of the

district is around 800 mm. 85
percent of this is received during the
south-west monsoon period; the rest
is received during winter. As in most
other districts of northern India, the
summers are dry and hot whereas
the winters are cool. Winds are
generally light and are mainly from
the south-west to the north-east
direction. During the monsoons, the
wind directions often are from the
north-east to the south-east.
A3.4.3 Vegetation
According to the forest department less than 100 sq. kms of land is occupied by forests.
However, vegetation along the river is increasing and the refinery and its townships has
undertaken large forestation programmes to arrest pollution to monuments especially the
Taj Mahal – some 50 kms to its south. It has to be borne in mind that the belt around

8
Vrindavan was at one time the forest associated with Lord Krishna and the need to reforest
this wide tract of land through expertise in natural historical heritage needs to be stressed.
A3.4.4 Agriculture
The soil of the district is reasonably fertile. Substantial agriculture land prevails, where
wheat, maize and barley are mainly grown. The recently announced State Agriculture Vision
requires that land under cultivation, orchards, horticulture, floriculture, pisiculture and dairy
and poultry farming be retained and enhanced in production. Despite this, Mathura District
over the years witnessed a steady decline in produce and resultant outward migration.
A3.4.5 Transportation
Mathura District is one of the most important Districts of India in terms of both destination
and transit of people as also for the transit of goods. This established the centrality of
Mathura City (Refer Map A6). The busy broad guage double track electrified rail line from
Delhi to South India bifurcates at Mathura between west bound (Mumbai) and south bound
(Chennai) transit. Also the line from Agra to Jaipur via Mathura and Alwar has been
converted to broad guage single track. It is expected that this would become an electrified
double track line in due course.
The metre guage from Agra to Hathras / Barielly via Mathura is also expected to convert to
broad guage over the next 10 years. Thus Mathura would not only be a junction for transit
transportation for goods and people
but also a major rail traffic monitoring
centre. It has also to be underlined
that it is a destination for pilgrims from
not only North India but also from
East, West and South India. In fact,
there is a railway surcharge on fares
for Mathura; this is meant for
improving pilgrim facilities in and
around the station.
National Highway 2 passing through

Mathura has since been converted
into the North South Expressway. In
fact from Delhi to Agra it is a six lane
tollway. This has completely
restructured development in the
district. The state highway from
Bareilly to Alwar passes through Mathura
Mathura. This is also being widened
along with other district roads so as to Road
offer better road connectivity to
pilgrims and other tourists over a wide Rail
area.
Map A6: Trunk Rail & Road Linkages to Mathura
There are no prospects of an air strip
at Mathura with the airport of Agra being quite near and the international airport at Palam,
Delhi being reasonably accessible. However, the proposed Taj Expressway project of a 160
km link from Agra to Noida – all east of the Yamuna and totally within UP, would open up
the belt east of the Yamuna for industrial growth. For this the Taj Expressway Industrial
Development Authority (TEIDA) under the UP Industrial Development Act has been set up.
This would require links from the MVA to the Taj Expressway apart from links to the north-

9
South corridor. These regional transport

determinants are explained in Map No.A7
River transport has no prospects but the

cleansing of the Yamuna and its
environmental improvement is a major
exercise and for which the MVDA have a
major role to play within the Yamuna Action
Plan project, especially along the bunds of
Mathura and Vrindavan due to their special
religious significance.
The refinery adjoining Mathura to its south is

an important activity in terms of import of
crude and its refinement for distribution by
rail and road. The township is self-contained
and there are several ancillary units along
this node. Due to these developments the
MVA area is destined to grow between the
river and on either side of the expressway in
the blocks of Mathura, Govardhan, Farah,
Baldeo in Mathura tehsil and blocks of
Chhata, Nandgaon and Chaumuha in the
tehsil of Chhata. Thereby the tehsil east of
the river is being given less of development
priorities and more of environmental control.
A3.4.6 Services
At the district level, water supply is most crucial. The district relies mainly on ground water.
The Yamuna should have offered a perennial source. Unfortunately Delhi sends the surface
water downstream in a highly polluted state. The industrial belt of Faridabad-Balabgarh-
Palwal in Haryana further compounds the problem. Thus Mathura-Vrindavan receives
unusable water and for which the Central Control Pollution Board (CPCB) has not yet been
able to propose and enforce implementable corrective actions. The district therefore is
heavily dependent on ground water and for which water tables are receding and salinity is
fast creeping in. Agriculture and allied activities are already adversely affected and new
industries are not being attracted. A water management plan is therefore required at the
national and state level with the MVDA as active partners for settlement development. To
increase surface water intake, a barrage across Yamuna, north of Vrindavan is on the anvil,
on lines of Gokul barrage.
Electricity is through the grid and this is regulated at the State level. The refinery and its
township have a captive standby system. For settlements development, the MVDA is
required to seek an enhanced supply.
A3.4.7 Industries
The UP State Industrial Corporation estate in the Kosi Kalan-Nandgaon and Chhata belt
took off well but has now slowed down as Haryana is better placed vis-à-vis the NCT of
Delhi and the central NCR area through the Faridabad-Palwal belt. The refinery is now
programmed for its maximum utilisation. It has generated some ancillaries but household
and cottage industries are a major source of employment in the District. In general,
industrial growth in the district has reached saturation levels; but there is scope for
household and cottage industries. Some hope emerges with the Agra-Noida expressway for

10
industries in the Mant tehsil. At Kosi-Kalan/Nangdaon and Chhata, revival of vacant

industrial plot is an objective with some guarded expansion based on improved
infrastructure like power and water and timely disposal of waste after environmental
safeguards.
A4. THE MVA PLAN-2021 AND MATHURA CITY
A4.1 Institutional Imperatives
The UP Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973 (UPUPD Act’73) under which the
MVDA was established as a Planning and Development Authority for the MVA ensures that
the Authority is vested with the responsibility of preparing and enforcing the development
plan for the MVA. The MVDA is in addition empowered to declare any area within its
jurisdiction as a “Development Area” for
providing serviced land and for carrying
out and permitting development.
However, the 73rd and 74th CAA specifies

new planning responsibilities to LSG. The
12th Schedule of the CAA has listed 18
LSG functions. Most of these are already
included in the list of obligatory and
discretionary functions in the Uttar
Pradesh Municipalities Act 1994 (UPM
Act’94). In the process, the need for a
synergy between the 2nd and 3rd tiers of
governance and planned development
has surfaced. Under this, Building Bye-
laws is an LSG function and not a
Development Authority function just as
development control regulations are
part of the Master Plan/Development
Plan and would accordingly be in the Map A8-MVA Master Plan area 1981-2001 within
purview of the MVDA. the District.
A4.2 The Statutory Master Plan for The MVA – 1981-2001 as Extended to 2021
The State Town and Country Planning Department prepared a plan for Mathura-Vrindavan
for the period 1981-2001 for the MVD Authority. This was processed as an approved plan
by the MVDA covering the nagar palikas of Mathura and Vrindavan, the cantonment of
Mathura and part of the block of Farah (due to the location of the Oil Refinery in Mathura
District). 79 adjoining villages (a few of which are east of the Yamuna) complete the Master
Plan area of approx 215 sq. kms.
Map A8 shows approximately the area covered by the Master Plan. It incorporate 4 of the
10 blocks of the district.
Table 1C shows the population projections of this area.

In 1981, this area had a population

of 5.75 lakhs and by 2001 it had
8.10 lakhs people, excluding the
regular round the year floating
population and which did not vary
much. It is only during key festival
periods (and which are also
frequent) that there is a population
bulge requiring special
arrangements. A matrix of uses
allowed in each zone with Zoning
Regulations is part of this plan. The
perspective of this plan was
recently extended to 2021 but with
no perceptible change in land use
patterns. This is perhaps due to
the fact that most new areas of
growth (1981-2001) are yet in the
process of being developed. This
plan with the extended timeframe,
has been approved. Mathura
Nagar Palika is at the core of this
Plan. The approved land use plan
is shown as Map A9.
The proposed land use distribution

according to this master plan (1980-
2001) and as extended upto 2021 is

Nearly half the area is shown as an ‘agricultural belt’. Of the rest, only about a third
comprises of the 1981 existing settlements of Mathura, Vrindavan, Civil Lines and villages -
as mixed uses zones. Large areas have been shown for residential use. The refinery, the
Cantonment and the railways occupy sizable lands. The reserved forest north of Vrindavan
has sparse tree cover but is part of the heritage of the area. The smaller reserved forest
near the refinery has dense foliage through finances primarily by Indian oil. Services,

A4.3 Objectives of the MVA Plan - 2021
The basic objectives of the approved Plan are to:
x Set limits for urbanisation for the period ending 2021, with links to the
existing surrounding urban settlements, central place villages and other
growth centres;
x Create a stable economic base for urban level activities;
x Remove congestion in the older parts of the city through an integrated
approach of clearance, conservation and rehabilitation;
x Upgrade or resettle slums;
x Improve basic infrastructure (water, sanitation, drainage etc.) and urban
facilities in terms of
education, health, lung
spaces etc. in existing
areas; and
x Improve the
transportation network
in relation to land uses,
so that traffic in the
inner city gets better
organised.
However the synergy between the

MVDA and local government and
line development agencies lacked
coordinated and programmed
actions and growth has largely
occurred by referencing to the plan
but not necessarily following it due
to lacunae in coordination,
implementation and enforcement.

13
A4.4 The Proposed Extended MVA - Phase I
A decision was taken by the

government of UP in 1997 to extend the
jurisdiction of the MVA. This was done
largely along NH 2 towards the Haryana
border on the route to Delhi. The nagar
palika of Chhata and the nagar
panchayats of Chaumuha, Kosi Kalan
and Nandgaon and 37 intervening
villages were added. These accretions
were all in the Chhata tehsil of the
district.
The 215 sq. kms jurisdiction of the

MVDA was in the process extended by
another 59 sq. kms. This total does not
include the intervening agriculture area
other than 37 contingent villages.
The approximate jurisdiction of the

expanded MVDA of approximately 274
sq. kms within Mathura District is
shown in Map A10. No plan has yet
been approved for this extended area.
The government of U.P. has further decided that the MVA would be again extended
so as to include the nagar panchayats of Govardhan and Radhakund and 11
adjoining villages up to Mathura Vrindavan. Thereby, the responsibility of integrated
pilgrim wellbeing is to vest fully with the MVDA. This gives a planned development area
of approximately 350 sq. kms (refer Map No.A11). For this extended area too, no plan has
yet been approved.
A4.5 The Proposed Extended MVA –

Phase II
The Taj Expressway implies access to the

MVA towards its south i.e. via Farah-Baldeo
and its north between Chaumuha and
Vrindavan via Mant. Also the existing link
across the Yamuna to Aligarh would have to
be widened. In addition, all the additional
settlements would have to have a contiguous
plan. This would require approximately
another 100 sq. kms to be added to the
Development Plan. It also requires that all
the 3 tehsils and 10 blocks of Mathura District
are incorporated in part or full in the
Development Plan 2001-21
We would thus have a) Mathura District –

3,340 sq. kms and within it b) MV
development plan area – 450 sq. kms
(approx) – Refer Map A12 Map A12-The Extent of Development Plan
Area for MVA-2021
Due to recent accretions and transformation

14
in transportation profile only estimates were possible to the extended MVA proposals. The
State TP Department and the MVDA would be making the population projections on the
basis of definite population projections for this area and on the basis of definite
development boundaries to emerge in due course. Therefore empirically it is envisaged that
a population of around 20.00 lakhs by 2021 within about 450 sq. kms. of development plan
area would be a reasonable target to aim at. This excludes floating population round the
year and especially during the several festival and auspicious occasions. This is indicated in
table 1E below.

In this scenario, Mathura NPP would cater primarily for natural increase and some in-
migration as it is almost exclusively an urban renewal area. There is scope for new
growth in Vrindavan, the cantonment and rest of the MVDA area.
A4.6 The Basis for a Mathura City Rapid Assessment
The above indicates the framework through which the vision for Mathura City (NPP) and its
CDP is to be generated. The MVDA has an approved perspective plan for 2021. An
update of this plan is on the anvil based on extensive consultants with the concerned
authorities, institutions, NGOs and individuals. These are very relevant in the current
exercise for the Mathure City Vision and its CDP through a fresh set of supportive data and
discussions in a form of a rapid assessment as indicated in the subsequent section.
x Mathura NPP has a jurisdiction of 28.5 sq. km. straddled between River Yamuna
(East) and NH2 bye-pass (West)
x Mathura tehsil (incorporating Mathura NPP, Vrindavan NPP and the contonment)
has the highest density in the district. Refer maps A5 and A8.
x It is at the core of the “Braj” religious node incorporating Mathura, Vrindavan &
Govardhan.
x For this jurisdiction, MVDA is to be expanded to about 450sq.km. (out of 3,340
sq.km. Mathura District).
x The regional exercise gives credence to this contextual equation through urban
renewal of Mathura city as the core of the Mathura-Vrindavan region and of which
Vrindavan is an equally important focus for the next traunch of renewal projects.

SECTION B: MATHURA CITY: A RAPID APPRAISAL

B1. OVERVIEW: MATHURA CITY
B1.1 Approach and Methodology Adopted : City Assessment
The analysis of the existing situation is the first stage in the formulation of a CDP. The
purpose of the analysis is to make a realistic assessment of where the city is, the direction
in which it has been moving and its strengths and weaknesses. This stage is meant to
make an in-depth analysis of the demographic, economic, financial, infrastructural,
physical, environmental, and institutional aspects of the city and the implications thereof for
services delivery, management and governance. As a first step in preparation of City
Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura, the team was mobilized at head office and a series
of discussions were held about the approach and methodology for conducting the
exercise.
Based on the preliminary discussions

and field visits and interaction with the
key stakeholders, the approach adopted
was a four step process for conducting
the Rapid Assessment as a first stage in
the preparation of the City Development
Plan for Mathura. This assessment was
for Mathura UA comprising on Mathura
NPP and Mathura Cantonment.
The first step involved data collection

from various sources including
government departments, previous
studies conducted in the city for various
services, information available from Opening Launch Workshop (12 May) : City
other stakeholders / line agencies Development Plan for Mathura, Seen in the
Photograph from Left to Right: Mr. Pradeep Mathur,
involved in the services delivery and
MLA MVC, Mr. EFN Ribeiro, Team Leader IPE, Mr.
governance. There were very few S.K Singh, Administrator, NPP Mathura, Mr. Pradeep
studies conducted by the departments in Narian, Executive Officer (JNNURM) Mathura
the urban sector except for some
feasibility reports made at departmental level in water supply and sewerage. The data
available was very basic, as no proper MIS has been maintained by the respective
departments. The secondary data at city level was also not available on most subjects
though it was found that some data exists at the district level. No comprehensive data has
been maintained at city level. To discuss this and other issues, a launch workshop was
organized through the local MLA and the JayCees Club to sensitize and orient the people
regarding the CDP.
Based on the identified issues, the second step involved meetings and discussions with all
the stakeholders. The Expert Team visited the key departments and line agencies involved
and met senior officials for feedback on the preliminary issues confronting the city of
Mathura. A general feedback on various issues emerged through discussions, interactions
and official facts and figures provided during the meetings and discussions. The relevant
data related primarily to infrastructure and governance and for which proper records were
not available with the respective agencies especially the municipal body. The discussions
held with the key officials was in accordance to the requirements for the city assessment.

16
The third step involved visits to city and

cantonment areas to assess the
condition of various infrastructure
services and governance issues. The
issues related to water supply,
sewerage, drainage, solid waste
management, street lighting, roads,
traffic and transportation, heritage and
tourism, housing, squatter settlements
and governance and administration. The
issues were captured using audio-
visuals. However, meetings with senior
officials of the Cant was not possible.
The fourth step involved the analysis

and synthesis of the data collected and report preparation. Identification of the missing
links and gaps based on the feedback from the client and State Resource Centre (SRC)
and incorporation of the same in the final City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura.
B1.2 City Profile
Mathura UA comprises of Mathura NPP and Mathura Cantonment. The agglomeration is

situated along the western banks of the river Yamuna, downstream of Delhi at 27o 35'
North and 78° 12’, East. The city is bounded by Govardhan, Chaumuha, Mant, Vrindavan,
Raya, Baldeo and Farah. The NPP has an area of around 28.5 sq. kms. and the Cant has
an area of about 9 sq. km. As per the census 2001, the population of the UA was around
3.23 lacs (3.02 in the NPP area and 0.21 in the Cant). Its floating population on normal
days is between 1.00 to 1.25 lakhs per day, whereas on festive and auspicious days it is
over twice the UA population. A large number of visitors pass through and as casual day
time visitors need facilities for rest, food and shopping. A smaller number of such visitors
need overnight accommodation. For dedicated pilgrim population, however, the average
stay is for 3 days in tents, guest houses, and modest to quality hotels.
Mathura is also a transport node for the agglomeration and district, by both rail and road.
Segregation and interface of inter and intracity road and rail movements of people is a
crucial component of an environmentally acceptable Mathura and which is to facilitate
pilgrim tourism.
B1.3 History and Growth
The city of Mathura is among the seven most important holy cities of India and is one of
the oldest inhabited sites of Uttar Pradesh. For more than a millennium and even prior to
the medieval period (about the twelfth century A.D), the place had been an important
centre simultaneously of the three chief Indian religious systems, the Brahmanical, the Jain
and the Buddhist. Subsequently, it became a stronghold of the Krishna-bhakti cult. It is
believed that Krishna was born in the city of Mathura and passed his early life in its
neighbourhood. Most of the important places in the district are associated with one or
another event connected with the Krishna legend. There is ample evidence to believe that
the district was far more pastoral than agricultural in early times, as indicated by many of
its place names such as Braj (herd of cattle) and Mathura (town of churns).
Mathura continued to hold a prime position in Indian history throughout. The celebrated
poet Kalidas praised the city of Mathura, the river Yamuna, the Goverdhan hill and the
Vrindavan grove. It found mention in the records of Fahien who stayed there. It continued
to hold its religious importance in one of the greatest centres of artistic activity during the

17
golden age of Indian history, the Gupta age. It again found mention in the records of Hiuen
Tsang (629-645 AD) who stayed there. Mathura then fell in the hands of Mahmood of
Ghazni. It found specific mention in the accounts by Alberuni who came in the wake of
Mahmud’s invasions. Though Mathura lost its political importance in the 12th century, it
was still a city of religious significance. Mahaban was the gathering place for the armies of
Iltutmish (1211-36) in his expeditions against Kalanjar. The jungles of Mathura were the
favourite hunting grounds of the Mughal emperors. It is connected with some important
events in Aurangzeb’s life. His eldest son was born there in 1639. In 1666, Shivaji after
escaping from Aurangzebs army in Agra had come to Mathura. After Mughal rule it came
under the Jats who gave refuge to many from Delhi during Nadirshah’s invasion and also
during the invasion of Ahmad Shah Abdali. Mathura’s environs were important battlefields
when East India Company started coming into power and also during the military moves of
the British forces to take over Bharatpur, Indore, etc. The Jats of Mathura district gave a
good fight to the British forces. Mathura also played an important part in the independence
movement.
B1.4 Mathura Nagar Palika
Mathura has had a Municipality from the late 19th century. This is now called the
Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP) and which is divided into 45 wards, each with a ward
councilor. Currently, the Councilors are not in place due to an issue in court.
However, the ward comprises a legal municipal unit for development, conservation,
and maintenance. Their jurisdictions are shown in Map B1 below:
MAP B1: MUNICIPAL WARDS (45 WARDS)
In Mathura, most community actions are invariably on a ward basis,

irrespective whether an elected councillor is in place or not. At present each
ward has between 5000 to 7000 inhabitants. Density is highest in the inner
core and where mixed use predominates.

18
The Agglomeration also incorporates the cantonment which is about 9 kms in area. This
includes an operation area for oil distribution near the railway junction apart from other
operational areas. The sub-area commander is head of the Cantonment Planning Board
(CPB), operating under the Cantonment Board Act, 1924. The development is low
intensity with well appointed education and health facilities. In 1991, the CPB had less
than 7,400 persons but by 2001 it grew to around 20,500. It is now projected to hold about
41,000 people in 2011 and about 72,000 persons in 2021. Therefore, urban services are
to be provided in unison with the NPP. These populations do not include military personal,
emunerated at their command level.
B1.5 Population Growth and Projections
The population of Mathura Agglomeration in 1991 was 2.36 lakhs which increased to 3.23
lakhs in the year 2001.This included the cantonment but not the daytime floating
population which puts additional pressure on the city infrastructure. Refer table 2A below:
Table 2A: Decadal Growth Rates. Mathura UA

The UA has witnessed a rapid growth over the past five decades with an average decadal
growth rate of 28.04%. During the period 1981-91 the decadal growth rate has been about
47.90% attributed to a large influx of rural population to the city. However during the past
decade 1991-2001, the growth rate has stabilized with a decadal population growth of
35.30%.

Source: Census of India for actuals and projections based on MVDA Plan 2021.
The normal day time floating population based on entries by UP Dept. of Tourism and local
police is about 1.00 lakh per day in 2001. This is projected to be 1.50 lakhs in 2011 and
2.00 lakhs in 2021. On auspicious occasions, the floating population could exceed 5 lakhs
and even 10 lakhs on certain days. For this, special arrangements are made for transport,
traffic control, camping, food, water and other ablutions.
Based on the above, the population projections for Mathura UA are as below:

19
a) 2001: 3.23 + 1.00 lakh day time

b) 2011: 4.28 + 1.50 lakh day time
c) 2021: 5.52 + 2.00 lakh day time
The component of floating population that require overnight stay each day is included in
the census.
The infrastructure requirements for the day time floating population is estimated at half that
of the other population.
In the above projections, the fact is also underlined that for Mathura NPP area, the decadal
growth rate between 2001-11 is 30 percent and between 2011-21 it is 28 percent. For the
Cantonment however, the decadal growth rates are 100 per cent and 75 percent
respectively in these periods. The Cantonment Board however are involved only in
infrastructure upgrading and not in urban renewal, heritage conservation, poverty
alleviation and local body capacity building.
Therefore services were required for 3.73 lakhs in 2001 (3.23 + 0.50) and are required
for 5.03 lakh persons by 2011 (4.28 + 0.75) and for 6.52 lakh persons by 2021 (5.52 +
1.00)
B1.6 Economic Growth
Being primarily a pilgrim city as the birth place of Lord Krishna, religious tourism generates
the economic base of Mathura. The UPSIDC had set up an industrial estate in Mathura
along NH.2. Now that Mathura has come under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ), power starved
industries using generators or coal have been banned. This has led to industries shifting
out of Mathura to Kosi Kalan, Chatta and Nandgaon and to other states with good
infrastructure. The water supplied to industries is brackish in nature and is not potable
without treatment.
Related to tourism as the main economic base, Mathura’s household industries provide its
main economic base, with a market that extends not only beyond the state of Uttar
Pradesh, but even national boundaries. However the District level industries include heavy,
medium and small scale produce, like: manufacture of taps and cocks, petroleum
products, packaging material, cottage industry, readymade garments etc. Manufacturing
activities are concentrated in four industrial estates spread in the district. In addition many
small units are scattered through the city.
The small scale and household based industry function primarily in the inner city of
Mathura. They cater primarily to the floating population and inner city needs. The main
economic activities are based on cottage industries, sari printing, manufacturing of
garments (temple related), artificial jewellery, copper utensils, stone engraving, statues,
paintings, sweets and offerings. Their percentages are shown in Table 2C below:
Table 2C: Percentage of Small Scale Industries. Mathura NPP

2 Sari Printing and Readymade Garments 15
3 Artificial Jewellery 20
4 Stone Cutting 5
5 Sculpting (Idol making) 5
6 Paintings 15

20
The inner city also has several printing presses whereas metal curios and sari printing are
subject to bulk orders from other states. These activities largely cause inner city pollution.
They could therefore receive incentives for shifting to identified industrial estates.
B2. THE CONSULTATIVE PROCESS
B2.1 Key Consultations
The preparation of the Mathura CDP involved extensive consultations, throughout its
preparation period. The consultative strategy involved interaction with various stakeholders
like: Senior Citizens, Departments, Institutions / Groups, Industrialists, Citizens at ward
level, and local elected representatives and the media. The process was facilitated by the
media, to impress upon the general citizens about the objectives of JNNURM and CDP for
Mathura. During the preparation of the CDP, two workshops were held apart from regular
interdepartmental consultations, and ward level
discussions. Press meetings were held
regularly during the plan preparation phase.
B2.2 Consultations with Organisations
The initial launch workshop in Mathura was

organised by the Mathura MLA in association
with Greater JayCees club on 12 May 2006.
Besides, the citizens and members of the
group, government officials were also invited to
the launch workshop. The objective of the
launch workshop was to sensitize the general
citizens and give orientation about the
objectives and outcomes of the CDP of
Mathura under the JNNURM.
The launch workshop was attended by more

than 80 participants from various walks of life.
During the workshop, Mathura’s current issues
and challenges, its future vision and way
forward for the city’s development were
discussed.
Another workshop was organized on 18 July

2006 following the rapid assessment of the
citys infrastructure and its prospects. The
workshop was organized by Rotary Club of
Mathura and was attended by various
stakeholders from the city. They were briefed
about the outcome of the rapid assessment of
the city. This was through an overview of the
city’s infrastructure and services delivery,
current status, issues and challenges and
discussions regarding future developments.
Important and useful suggestions like water
harvesting, solid waste management, women’s
participation, quality control, coordination
among departments were discussed during the

21
workshop. Thereafter practical suggestions emerged from the participants, including the
women folk.
B2.3 Consultation with Officials
All the concerned government departments

and institutions were consulted during the
three month CDP process. Meetings were
held individually with various departments. It
involved site visits for further discussions. The
key issues discussed during the meetings
included : past and present progarmmes,
current infrastructure & development issues
and key prioritized development needs the
city.
All the key meetings were presided over by

the department heads and regular
discussions and interactions were held for
identifying the vision, key strategies, and
developmental projects for the city’s short,
medium and long term needs. Besides the
above meetings, various meetings were
organized by the city Administrator for looking
into aspects of infrastructure delivery,
governance and reforms process at city level.
This included the prioritization of the reforms
agenda at city and local level as per the
guidelines of JNNURM.
The high level meetings were chaired by District Magistrate by coordinating all the key
departments and stakeholders about the development strategies and project
identifications. The final meeting was presided by District Magistrate in which all the
stakeholders were present, viz - departments, institutions as organizations, industrialists,
NGOs, press & media, senior citizens etc. All the important issues discussed and
emerging from the meetings were incorporated in the final documents. The departments
consulted during the exercise for preparation of CDP is at in Annex A.
B2.4 Consultations at Ward Level
The ward level consultations involved

discussions with senior citizens, local
residents about the issues and challenges
regarding the infrastructure, services delivery
and developmental aspects. Besides the
consultation process, extensive visits to 45
wards of the city was completed by the
consultants with the help of local
representatives and ward level senior
citizens. The former elected councilors of the
municipality were also contacted about the
development issues required in various
sectors (at present there are no elected
representatives in place).

22
The key issues and challenges faced at ward level included: street lighting, water supply,
sewerage and drainage, solid waste management, traffic congestion, unauthorized usage,
heritage issues and public-private participation.
However, the issues varied based on the terrain,
location, area and land use. Priorities
accordingly varied.
The ward level visits to slum areas were also

done with the help of the District Urban
Development Agency (DUDA). Slum issues were
mapped and discussed with various
representatives like CBOs, RCVs, and citizens.
The women’s participation and development
issues were also discussed and sensitized about
the programmes for the development process at the ward level under JNNURM
B2.5 The Role of the Press and Media
The press and media played an important role

during the entire plan preparation. The citizens
were sensitized regularly through newspapers,
local channels about the JNNURM and city
development processes. The citizens were
encouraged to send suggestions and come
forward for further discussions with the team
regarding their needs at local and city level. The
press and media also played an important role
during the ward level consultations and
highlighted the essence of the development process, city’s needs and expectations from
the citizens. Besides this regular press conferences were organized during the plan
preparation phase including discussions at local cable channel studios for public
awareness and participation. The details of the press cuttings and media coverage is
attached at Annex B.
B2.6 Consultations on Heritage.
As this was a basic issue of the Mathura CDP, consultations were held with INTACH Delhi
and the Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH at Mathura. Several views emerged and this has
helped shape the CDP. The listing done by INTACH has 428 entries. The Braj Bhomi
Chapter have agreed to reduce this list to an implementable number. In the meantime key
entries were endorsed by them to kick-start the conservation of heritage as an on-going
process.
B2.7 The Open Forum Process
The open consultation process involved interaction with citizens in the municipality NPP
office for the draft CDP prepared by the consultants. The presentations regarding the city
assessment in terms of the infrastructure, service delivery , governance , urban poor and
slums were exposed along with the vision and development strategies. Based on these
consultations and the field level visits and other consultations, the projects were identified
and put for regional, city and ward level development.

B3. CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES DELIVERY
B3.1 Water Supply System
B3.1.1 Existing Situation
In 2001, for 3.23 lakh persons and 50% for day time population, the water requirements
were for 3.73 lakh persons. Thus at 140 lphd,
the requirement works out to 3.73 x 140 = 52.22
mld – say, 53 mld. The availability of water is
the greatest long term problem facing Mathura
UA. The main source for the city is through
ground water and then surface water. At
present the surface water production is 100
MLD at Gokul Barrage, some 15 Kms
downstream from Mathura. However, the
quantity drawn by the NPP is only 10 MLD due
to NPP’s insufficient capacity for storage and
distribution of water. Around 25 MLD of water
is being supplied from ground water. Even the
combined 35 mld is at reduced levels due to
evaporation losses, pilferage and wrong usage.
Due to shortage of funds, the city network has
not been able to tap the full potential of the
Barrage. Around 75% of the population
receives water at varied intervals and durations.
This is partly due to the city’s undulating terrain.
The average per capita water supply received is
therefore around 80 litres per capita per day
(lpcd). The UA really needs about 70 mld by
2011 and 90 mld by 2021 at 140 lpcd. Through
evaporation and other losses the requirement
could be around 80 mld by 2011 and around
105 mld by 2021. Therefore Gokul Barrage would have to be developed at full
capacity primarily for Mathura UA in combination with controlled ground water
usage and better management. A new Barrage is accordingly required for Vrindavan
and other areas. The proposed site for this is upstream of Vrindavan.
B3.1.2 The Agencies involved and their mode of Operations
There are mainly two agencies involved in the water supply production and distribution for
the city of Mathura a) the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN) which is responsible for
construction and production, and b) Nagar Palika Parishad, which is responsible for
distribution, operation and maintenance of the schemes handed over to them by UPJN.
The distribution system for the city is being maintained by the Water Works section of the
NPP. The present setup is run by a Junior Engineer and a staff of 177 including pump
operators and fitters.
B3.1.3 Demand for Water
The average depth of the water table is around 27 meters as per 2001 records. This has
since reduced by around 3.7 metres in the last five years. There are around 73 bore wells
of varying horsepower and around 25 MLD of water is supplied through this system.

24
Around 25% of the population is not able to receive, any potable water supply.
There are around 22,000 water connections in Mathura NPP area. The connections are
not metered and there is no categorization of water connections like: residential,
institutional, commercial, industrial, to account for the exact number of connections for
each sector. The actual consumption of water for the respective categories is not
maintained or recorded.
B3.1.4 Treatment Facility
There is no water quality monitoring mechanism except through chlorination. There is

however daily treatment of water by chlorination for both surface and ground water
sources. Chemical tests and bacteriological tests are not being done regularly for checking
the water quality. There are 21 overhead water tanks in the city, of which only 4 are in
reasonably working condition. The rest of the tanks have leakage and other problems. The
treatment of water is carried out at source and at intermediate levels in the city. The water
to be supplied to the users is only chlorinated. The prescribed chemical test and
bacteriological test is not done on a regular basis.
B3.1.5 Storage Transmission and Distribution
After water is brought from Gokul Barrage, it is further treated at the water works at
Bhuteshwar. The desired level of chlorination is done daily to supply water to end users.
There are 39 tube wells which are on contract out of 73 tube wells. The underground
circular Water Reserver’s (CWR) has capacity of around 3000 KL, with around 1500 KL
capacity of CWR at Sadar. The total distribution length of water supply which includes all
size distribution lines accounts for around 250 kms pipeline length. 50% of the city area
has fixed timings for water supply, the rest of the areas do not have any fixed timings, and
receives water sporadically. These details are summarized in tabular form below – Refer

B3.1.6 Issues and Challenges
x Inadequate source of water : The

need of water for the UA is
around 90 mld by 2011 and
around 110 mld by 2021. At
present the city is able to give not
more than 35 MLD.
x Inadequate treatment facilities at
various supply distribution
centres: Only chlorination is
being done, no tests are being
taken at regular intervals.
x Around 15-20% of water leakage
is reported, which is mainly due
to line breakages at various
locations, continuous running of water from stand posts, old sluice valve
leakage problems, inefficient use of domestic connections, unauthorized
connections.
x Storage tank leakages; only 4 overhead water tanks are fully operational out
of 21 such tanks in the city.
x Rising main sluice valve leakage problems are frequent.
x Power cuts remain for around 6hrs a day and in peak summer, its goes upto
10 hrs, affecting the water supply system throughout the city.
x More generators are required to run the water supply distribution efficiently.
x Old lines get regularly choked (50%)

26
x Extreme ground level variation in the city (around 26 m high level

differences)
x There are no mechanisms for roof water collection system and ground water
recharging system.
x The Yamuna river is getting polluted day by day, as the sewerage and storm
water drains get into the river at various locations.
x Water user collection efficiency is very poor due to the under-valuations of
ARV of property. No system has been adopted for charging as per the water
consumed / category like institutional, industrial, residential, commercial etc.
B3.2 Sewerage System
A separate project incorporating sewage

treatment was implemented under Yamuna
Action Plan (YAP) Phase I. The city does not
have a sufficient and effective sewerage
system. Mathura town is an important pilgrim
center located directly on river Yamuna and
thousands of devotees take bath in the river, on
an average day. The number of such bathers
increase by over 1.5 lakhs during certain
festival days. The sewage disposal is through
existing open drains. Approximately 25% to
30% of the inner city is sewered. These
however do not work. Accordingly, the UA is
dependent on septic tanks and open drains.
The septic tanks in the Cant area better
controlled. Pumping stations and sewage
treatment plants are provided for part of the
sewage generated.
The entire wastewater of the town flows through

various open drains to the river. About 30 years
ago an intercepting sewer and some trunk
sewers were laid along the river bank which
intercepted the flow from 13 nos. of drains,
which was then transmitted to a sewage farm
on the other (eastern) side of the river with the
help of two lifting stations. These were located
at Vrindavan gate and Swami ghat. One other
sewage pumping station was located at Bengali
ghat by the side of the railway line.
Due to poor maintenance, the system became

almost defunct and most of the sewage and
septic tank effluent now find their way to
roadside open surface drains which ultimately
discharge into the Yamuna. Besides, there are
six nalas which were not tapped earlier - five on the south of the railway line, and
one Masani Nala on the extreme north of the town. Masani Nala is a major drain and
carries, besides domestic wastewater, substantial industrial effluent from several saree
printing industries.

27
The total wastewater flow reaching Yamuna river from Mathura UA is about 26.5 mld
which contributes a pollution load of about 5000 kg/day of BOD to the river.
A chrological background of the sewerage system as prevailing is as below:
Chrological Background
Year Description
1923 The egg shaped brick trunk sewer (22” x 33” size) was laid along the
right bank of river Yamuna in the year 1923. it starts from a lane (Khirki
Bishati) in Shahganj Darwaja area and ends at Bangali Ghat. The
sewer discharges into main pumping station at Bangali Ghat from
where it is pumped to sewage farm located in Trans Yamuna area.
1952-1972 In the year 1952-1972 some sewerage works to tap the three Nalas
namely Ambhakhar Nala, Satrangi Nala and Mahadeo Ghat Nala were
done. Due to inadequate maintenance the pumping station and sewers
became non functional.
1984 In the year 1984, renovation works related to Bengali Ghat pumping
station, Intermediate pumping station of Vrindavan Gate, laying of rising
main from Vrindavan gate pumping station to Lal Darwaza crossing and
to clean sewers and Nalas were done.
Post 1990 Against Yamuna action plan to check the flow of 18 existing Nalas in
the river Yamuna some works of pumping stations, rising mains and
treatment plants were done. The following works exist:
x Bengali Ghat main pumping station

x Vrindavan Gate intermediate pumping station
x Swami Ghat pumping station
x Masani Nala main pumping station
x Chinta Haran Nala pumping station
x Krishna Ganga Nala pumping station
x Cantt. Nala pumping station (dairy farm main pumping station)
x Sadar Bazar pumping station
Sewerage Treatment Plant
14.6 mld (oxidation pond type) sewage treatment plant was constructed in Trans Yamuna
area. Sewage is pumped into it from Bengali Ghat and Dairy farm main pumping station.
The related effluent is used for farming. A sewage of 124 hectare is available off Sadabad
road and is being maintained by Nagar Palika Parishad, Mathura.
A sewage treatment plant (oxidation type) of 13.59 mld capacity was constructed on
Mathura-Vrindavan road near Van Chetna Kendra behind PMV Polytechnic. Mathura
Sewage from Masani Nala main pumping station is being pumped in to this treatment
plant. The treated effluent from this STP is used for irrigation purpose and the excess
quantity is discharged into Yamuna river.

B3.2.3 Zoning of the Town
Considering the existing Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), topography of the town and
location of existing railway lines, the whole city is divided in seven sewerage zones. Refer
Map B2. These zones are described as below:
Zone I
This zone consists of Jaisinghpura, Mahavidya colony (part), Arjunpura, ranimandi , Matia
gate, Manoharpura (part) and Gaughat area (part). The design population of this zone
including floating population of 6750 comes out to 1,06,849. The required capacity of STP
for this population is 13.25 mld. About 0.32 mld waste water is expected to come into
sewers from dying industries existing in this area. Thus the existing STP of 13.57 mld will
be sufficient to cater the requirement of this zone upto the design year.
The major Nala of Mathura, Masani Nalla, falls in this zone and a pumping station is
considered for tapping this nala to check its flow into river Yamuna under Yamuna action
plan. Other two number sewage pumping stations of this zone are Vrindavan Gate
pumping station and Krishnaganga pumping station from where sewage is discharged into
Masani Nala through rising mains and ultimately goes to masani main pumping station.
From this pumping station sewage is being pumped into the existing STP of 13.59 mld
behind PMV polytechnic Mathura. these sewage pumping station and treatment plant shall
be used for this zone. Present area of this zone is 271.17 hectare which may go upto 500
hectare at the end of design period.
Zone II
This zone consists of Manoharpura (part), Gali Kanoongoyan (Part), Gaughat 9part), Ghati
Bahalrai, Nagla paisa, Hanuman Tila, Gatashram Tila, Dalpat Khidaki, Chah Khatoti,
Satgharha, Gopalpura (part), Generalganj (part), Dampier Nagar (part) and Ambakhar
(part). The population of this zone including the floating population of 13900 comes as
140257. The total waste water generation of this zone will be 17.42 mld. The discharge of
this zone is being treated at STP of Trans Yamuna having a capacity of 14.60 mld. This is

29
being pumped to treatment plant through Bengali Ghat main pumping station and Dairy
Farm main pumping station. The capacity of pumping plants and rising main shall be
enhanced as and when required. The present area of this zone is 242.88 hectares which
will remain the same upto the end of design period as there is no scope for its expansion.
The same STP shall be used for this zone.
Map B2: Sewerage Zones, Mathura NPP & its surroundings
Zone III
This zone consists of Laxminagar which comes in Trans Yamuna area. Design population
of this zone is worked out as 46576 in the year 2039. development is taking place in this
area very rapidly along Hatras road, therefore, an additional population of 30000 has also
been considered in this zone which is likely to be include as and when the municipal limits
of Mathura are extended. The sewage of this zone i.e 9.51 mld along with the sewage of
zone II and zone VI shall be treated as Trans Yamuna treatment works by enhancing its
capacity to 35.60 mld from present capacity of 14.60 mld. The land for construction of an
unit of 21.0 mld treatment plant (UASB type) is available at the site of existing STP. The
present area of this zone is 232.88 hectare which may go upto 600 hectare at the end of
design period.

30
Zone IV
The present municipal limit of Mathura is upto the present bye pass road, national Highway
No.2. But the development is taking place very rapidly in the trans highway area on urban
pattern. Various colonies have been developed on Goverdhan road, Sonkh road, and at
other places between Gokul restaurant on National Highway no. 2 to refinery township.
The population of this zone is also expected as 72000 in the year 2039. A main sewer of
required size shall be proposed along the NH with some intermediate pumping stations.
Finally the discharge of this zone shall be carried to the proposed UASB type sewage
treatment plant of 9.0 mld near Narholi. Total waste water generation in this zone has been
assessed as 8.94 mld. At present no area is this zone falls within municipal limits but it
may be as 907.12 hectares at the end of design period because many colonies are
developing in this trans highway area which is in about 12 km length. The treated effluent
from this STP shall be used for irrigation purpose in the fields of Narhauli village or near by
village.
Zone V
This zone consists of Shanti Nagar, Sukhdeo Nagar, Pannapur (part) Krishna Nagar,
Radha Nagar, Dampier Nagar (part), Harizan Basti (part), Mahavidya (part) and Naya
Nagla. The population of this zone in the year 2039 has been projected as 256463 and it
includes a floating population of 7600. The sewage of this zone i.e 31.86 mld, is proposed
to carry through sewer of required size at proposed 52 mld UASB STP near the Gokul
barrage w/s treatment works. The present area of this zone within the municipal limits is
824.55 hectare which may increase upto 900 hectare up to the end of design year.
Mathura junction railway station and some industries also fall in this zone. Waste water
generation from these institutions have been taken as 1.20 mld and 1.25 mld respectively
making a total waste water generation of this zone as 34.31 mld.
Zone VI
This zone consists of Maliyan, civil line (part), Gopalpura (part), Generalganj (part) and
Ambakhar (part). The population of this zone is projected as 60228 including the floating
population of 800. The sewage of this zone i.e 8.48 mld including 1.0 mld from Cantt. Area
is proposed to be treated at trans Yamuna STP along with the sewage of Zone II and III.
The area of this zone within present municipal limits is 154.77 hectare which may increase
upto 250 hectare at the end of the design year.
Zone VII
This zone consists of civil lines (part), Pannapur (part), Harijan Basti (part) abd Dhauli
Piyau area. The area between present municipal limit and NH 2 is partly developed on
urban pattern and balance area is in process of development. Sewage facilities shall be
required to this population also. The expected population of this area is assessed as
40000. Thus, the total population of this zone will be 107627 including a floating population
of 950. The total quantity of sewage for this zone is 16.87 mld including 3.50 mld from
Cantt. area shall be treated along the sewage of zone V at the newly proposed sewage
treatment plants. The area of this zone within municipal limits is 379.47 hectare which may
go upto 600 hectare at the end of the design year. The treated effluent from the proposed
52 mld STP shall be carried to the proposed sewage farm near village Koyla Alipur through
pipe line.

31
B3.2.4 Issues & Challenges
x Lack of awareness with regard to waste water management.

x Topographical level difference in the city is such that the general slope of the
city of Mathura is from south west to north east towards river Yamuna with
the result that all the drains rising from any point in the city eventually flow
into the river.
x All the 37 drains discharge untreated sewage the river
x Low sewer coverage in the city area, (around 25-30%) with most of the sewer
lines choked and most branch sewer lines discharging the wastewater into
the drains.
x In-adequate sewerage capacity. The city does not have full fledged sewerage
system.
B3.3 Drainage System
The drainage services for the UA is being managed

by Mathura NPP and the Cant. Board. Due to the
topographical level difference of the city, the
drainage is the most affected service. During the
monsoons, the storm water drainage severely
affects almost the entire city. There are many areas
where the problem becomes acute due to several
days of water logging. The drainage problem is
more acute towards the southern part of the city
due to its topographical level difference. However,
in the Cant. due to low density, the situation is not
so severe.
There is no adequate provision of underground

storm water drainage system in the city. Most of
the drainage lines provided are open, which often
get choked due to the accumulation of polythene
bags, waste material, and silt. The uncovered
drains become a health hazard to the public. There
are more than 10 locations in the city where the
drainage problems is acutely faced during rains
and around 2 meters of water accumulation has
been reported in some areas. The following are
some of the pockets where the drainage problem is
acutely faced:- Krishna Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar,
pockets of Mohali road, New Bus Stand
Bhuteshwar and areas under bridges.
Due to the inadequate drainage lines, the roads

often get damaged. Around 10% of the road length
has adequate storm water drainage system. About
more than 600 km drainage length is required for
the city to be upgraded. There is no drainage tax or
charges being collected by the Mathura NPP.

Map B3: Drainage Zones, Mathura NPP & its surroundings
B3.3.3 Issues & Challenges :

x Encroachment : Most of the drains along the commercial areas of the city are
being encroached by the shopkeepers by extending their shops or making
steps towards their shops. This affects the cleaning services by the
respective agencies involved in the service provision.
x Open Drains: Most of the drains are uncovered having more width and depth
than actually required. This creates an opportunity for the sweepers and
passers by to throw waste into these drains.
x Siltation: Since most of the drains are open, lot of silt gets into the drains and
reduces the flow. Choking at culverts, etc. are common:
x Municipal Solid Waste: The municipal solid waste like garbage, polythene,
plastic carrybags etc are seen littered in the drains.
x Inefficient Cleaning: The city has poor capacity in terms of cleaning and
maintaining the drainage lines due to limited resources.
x Clogging of Storm Water Drainage System: This is the biggest problem
reported especially around Railway underpasses where the average water
accumulation is upto 2 m during heavy rains.

34
B3.4 Solid Waste Management
The Solid Waste Management (SWM) system

along with drainage is the most poorly delivered
service by Mathura NPP, due to the lack of
proper infrastructure facilities and overall day to
day planning and management. At present the
total solid waste generated in the city is around
140 MT per day. Due to the lack of
infrastructure and manpower capacities only
around 54 MT of garbage is lifted per day which
accounts for around 40% of the total waste
generated in the city. The silt from drains, is
often seen lying on the roadside and along the
drains.
The system is better organized in the Cant. but they are required to combine with the NPP
to exploit a common landfill site. Also due to the inefficient SWM handling system, the
wastes often get into the drains. There are more than 200 dairies in the city which
contribute to cow dung waste in large quantities, being directly disposed in open drains
and nallas. There are no other proper landfill sites and presently the waste is dumped in
open sites, away from city outskirts. There are more than 30 nursing homes, and no
arrangement is provided for collection of the biomedical waste from these nursing homes /
hospitals.
There is no segregation of solid waste at

source. The city does not have garbage bins
and often the garbage is thrown on the
roadside. Only two dumper placers are
available with the NPP, and the waste is being
transported in open dumper placers. The
disposal of the garbage is being done in
unscientific way, as the single disposal site is
around 7 kms away from the city. With around
485 permanent sweepers and 265 contractual
sweepers, the NPP, Mathura is still unable to
provide satisfactory services in the solid waste
management sector.
Details of Solid Waste Management in the city is explained in table 2 Ha.

B3.4.2 Issues & Challenges
x The city does not have proper

infrastructure for collecting,
transporting and disposing municipal
solid waste. At present around 40% of
the waste is being collected which
leaves around 60% unattended or
getting into open drains.
x Lack of awareness among citizens and
municipal staff about the segregation
of waste at source and at landfill site.
x The city is not covered with garbage
bins, which keeps the waste littered at
every place and along the sides of
drains.
x Transportation of the waste is done in
open dumper placers.
x Lot of industrial wastes from small
industrial units within the city accounts
to the river pollution.
x Most of the important tourist and
heritage sites has municipal waste
lying around its areas, creating eye
sore and foul smell to the people near
such areas.
x Hospital wastes are not incinerated but
mixed with other wastes.
B4 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
B4.1 Road Network
Mathura is on the national expressways map of

India (NH-2). Also the Agra (Taj) Expressway,
linking Agra to Noida has been approved. This
would give a viable alternative link from Mathura
to the Delhi metropolis without relying on regional movements solely through the
neighboring state of Haryana (NH-2). The state highways include SH 39 which passes
through Mathura city. The hierarchy of national highways and state highways when within
the MVA area are programmed to emerge as bypasses or arterial roads.

36
The main city level road network mainly

consists of Kotwali road, Sonkh road, BSA
Engineering College road, Mohali road,
Bharatpur road, Cantonment road, Civil lines
road, Vrindavan road, KR college road,
District Hospital road, Parikrima road and
Masani road. The width of the road right of
ways (R/W’s) vary from 3 meters at ward
level, to upto 24 m at city level and more for
bye-passes. The road network inside the city
is dense and because of the concentration of
various commercial and industrial activities
they are heavily congested.
The roads – both at city and ward levels are

poorly maintained by the municipality due to
their financial constraints. The important
roads are taken up by other agencies like
Public Works Department and U.P. Tourism
Corporation. Some of the roads are also
being maintained by the Cantonment Board
within their jurisdiction.
The city does not have adequate parking

facilities. Also road furniture like dividers, road
signs, pedestrian facilities and other street
infrastructure are missing. The floating
population and traffic at peak hours becomes
difficult to manage due to the limited road
widths, encroachments and lack of discipline
among road users.
Only 35% of the roads are considered to be

‘pakka’. 10% are ‘kutcha’ and a very high
55% are badly damaged. Meager resources
keep them in this continually deteriorating
state. Table 2Ia shows the agencies
responsible for roads in the city.
The junctions require improvement and at all places where there are level crossings, road
over bridges (ROB’s) or road under bridges (RUB’s) are required, especially as by 2011 all
rail movements would be by Broad gauge (double or single track). The single motor coach
operated by the Railways between Mathura and Vrindavan is uneconomical due to level
crossings. It is best that the system becomes road based for buses. One suggestion is to
make the present Mathura-Vrindavan road as one way and the rail track converted as a
one way road from Vrindavan to Mathura. Buses could thereby ply and the system could
be a toll system with the Railways sharing in profits.

B4.2 Existing Traffic Situation:
There are around 5 major traffic

junctions in the city. At present none
of the junctions or crossings are
signalized. No comprehensive traffic
plan has been made by any of the
agencies involved in the traffic
management of the city. No traffic
volumes and counts are available
with the traffic department of the
Police or any other department. The
traffic volume on important roads
and junctions need to be estimated
by the respective departments.
The infrastructure and manpower

available is inadequate to manage
the system. During the festival season, the traffic force and other manpower is being
arranged from other cities like Agra. The traffic department has only 1 crane to lift
unauthorized parked vehicles and for emergency measures during accidents. Besides this
the traffic department have only 3 motorcycles for patrolling the city.

B4.3 Parking
Mathura has 13 modes of motorized transport – inter and intra – both for transportation of
goods and people. In addition it caters to traffic from outside the city. Therefore traffic
management and channelisation assumes significance. Citizens say that in particular the
inter city bus stands need being relocated. However, 2 new inter-state bus stations are
required-one near NH2 and one in trans-Yamuna. Transport nagars as part of the Stations
would help in segregating inter and intra city traffic.
The city does not have any city bus

service. Autos, chhakadas, and cycle
rickshaws mainly cater to public transport
in Mathura city. Around 70 buses are
being operated by UP Roadways Mathura
depot. Around 364 trips are being made
per day by these buses and of which
around 60 trips alone are to and from to
Agra city. It carries more than 12,000
passengers per day. The UP Roadways
Mathura depot operates from two bus
stations within the city. A new bus station
has also been developed near Mandi
cross roads.
Citizens also say that parking of vehicles at Railway Stations and Bus Stations – both
personal and on hire, plus intracity transport and which is through a variety of modes need
being better organized. In particular, parking in relation to religious nodes and inner-city
needs have also to be better organized. A park and ride system and a Bus Rapid Transit
System would help in easing the present chaotic system. Zoning regulations also require
being strengthened so as to ensure parking within plots, including basements and high
deterrent fees for on-street parking. As the city is congested, multi-level parking lots are
required and several spots were identified where these are possible. These could earn
revenue.

39
B4.4 Issues & Challenges
x The city has an inadequate road

network and parking facilities.
The carrying capacity of the roads
is less due to limited road widths
and rapidly increasing vehicular
growth.
x The public transport system is
inadequate. The city does not
have proper taxi stands for
tourists coming from other parts
of the state and from other states.
x Due to the mixed traffic
conditions, which include cycle
rickshaws, bullock carts, trucks,
buses, private vehicles, two
wheelers, the traffic condition
becomes uncontrollable due to
the non awareness and discipline
among people.
x Some of the roads have been
encroached by fruit sellers,
shopkeepers etc, leading to a one
way system in places and general
chaos all round.
x The junctions and crossings are
poorly designed and regulated.
There are no traffic lights and
manpower available at key
locations.
B4.5 Street Lighting
The Mathura NPP is responsible for the provision of

street lighting in the entire city which include major
roads as well as internal streets. The entire
management of street lighting is being maintained by
only one lights inspector though there are 4 sanctioned
posts for such inspectors. The light inspector is being
assisted by 3 assistants / store keepers and one
lineman.
Around 60% of the city area is without street lights.

Only 10% of the area is covered with adequate street
lighting facility of the 40% served area. This leads not
only to public inconvenience but also insecurity and law
and order problems. Around 20 years ago there used to
be separate electric lines for street lighting in Mathura
city. Five lines used to be laid which included 3 phase
lines, 1 street light line, and 1 neutral line. Now only
four line systems is being adopted by the Uttar Pradesh
Power Corporation (UPPC).
Due to festivals, religious fairs and Melas being celebrated throughout the year, the local

40
body is responsible for providing lighting facilities at

various important locations as well as around the
temple areas, where people do jagran, parikrama etc
during nights. Generators are used for this purpose
and mostly on a contract basis.
Some of the festivals during which special

arrangement is being made for street lighting and
power facility include: Haryal teez, Shivratri,
Navdurga, Abmedkar Jayanti, Parshuram Jayanti,
Gurupurnima, Raksha Bandhan, Janamashtami, Ram
Leela, Diwali, Yumdotia, Mathura Parikrima, Jai
Gurudev etc which range from 2 days to few weeks
and a month.
There are around 4310 light points covering only 10%

of the area of the city. More than 15,000 poles have
no lighting system which includes all major roads,
new areas, colonies, malin basties (slums) etc. Out of
4310 street lights, 61% are Bulbs (100 Watts), 20% are sodium lights (250 Watts), 15%
are tube lights, and rest 4% are bulbs with varying wattages.
More than 500 complaints are being received per month on street lighting issues like no
light, wire breakage etc, which are being redressed within 3 – 15 days time period due to
the inadequate infrastructure and technical staff. Some of the cross roads and other
important locations have been provided with high mast lighting system.

4 Bulbs (200-500 Watts) 200 4.8 %
5 High Mast Lamps 8 0.2 %
Source: Mathura NPP
At present the local body does not have adequate infrastructure like cranes with ladder
facilities. They have only two street lighting ladders, and inadequate safety gloves and
other electric repair and maintenance equipment.
No survey has been done to decide about the provision of adequate street lighting facility
as per the adequate norms for distribution, illumination, lux level, savings in electric
consumptions etc.

B4.5.1 Issues & Constraints – Street Lights

x Inadequate infrastructure for operation and maintenance.
x Only 10% of the city area has adequate street lighting facility.
x Newly merged areas are largely not covered by street lighting.
x Due to the less availability of manpower, the complaints are not redressed on
time.
x The use of generators on contract during festivals is a drain on resources.
B5 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Mathura City, suffers from pollution of air, water, ground and noise. The UP Pollution
Control Board (UPPCB) is the key monitoring authority in this regard. The main cause of
air pollution is vehicular emissions. The status of pollution measuring parameters as
against their permissible limits has been given in Table 2L below:
Table 2L: Pollution Survey – Mathura UA 2006

S. Parameter Permissible Limit Existing Status
No.
1 SPM 140 microgram/ m3 Annually 1.5 to 2 times higher
2 RSPM 60 microgram/ m3 Annually 1.5 to 2 times higher
3 3
3 SO2 60 microgram/ m Annually < 60 mg/ m
4 NOX 60 microgram/ m3 Annually < 60 mg/ m3
Source: UPPCB
The main concentration zones of air pollution are the mixed use zones and congested
traffic nodes. The office of the RTO conducts pollution checks in the city with the
assistance of the UPPCB. However, to curb air pollution by industries, the UPPCB grants
the NOC for their operations only when the industries have an air pollution control device.
Main causes of water pollution are domestic sewage, garbage, cattle waste and some
industrial effluents. Noise pollution has also increased in the city in the recent past with the
increase in vehicular traffic. The Ambient Noise Level (dBA) for basic landuses has been
given in table 2M below: -
Table 2M: Ambient Noise Level – Mathura UA 2006

S. Landuse Permissible dBA in Existing dBA in
No. Daytime Daytime
1 Residential 55 65
2 Commercial and Institutional 65 75
3 Industrial 75 75
Source: UPPCB
The main zones of noise pollution are the mixed use zones. However, the RTO with the
assistance of UPPCB conducts quarterly checks where horns of vehicles exceeding the
permissible limits are seized. Moreover, an area of 100 m radius around hospitals and
main nursing homes fall under the category of Silence Zone. However, no substantial
efforts have been made to cut down the pollution levels around educational institutes and
religious sites.
The slaughter house in the inner city is very unhygienic. An alternate site has been
earmarked south of Mathura Cant, but is yet to be developed.

42
The key environmental Issues &

Challenges are
x Open Slaughter House
x Small Scale Water Polluting
Industries (City Core Areas)
x Water Pollution due to Garbage
x Dairy Waste
x Plastics
x Hospital Waste
B6 HERITAGE & TOURISM
B6.1 Existing Situation
Cultural heritage and tourism is the crucial

sector for Mathura City and its future. In fact,
urban renewal centres round this sector.
Mathura is famous for its religious/cultural,
archeological, historical and architectural
heritage. There are many festivals and fairs
held here throughout the year, due to
Mathura being known for Lord Krishna’s birth
place (Krishna Janam Bhoomi). Tourists
arrive throughout the year both foreign and
domestic. More than 62 lakh tourist arrivals
were recorded in 2005 alone, with the foreign
tourist arrival being more than 22,000. Refer
Table 2N below. Once in Mathura, tourists visit Vrindavan and Goverdhan as pilgrims.

Tourism is almost exclusively of the

‘pilgrimage’ category. A large number of
pilgrims do not get registered as tourists and
therefore do not reflect in the above table.
According to police estimates, on several
auspicious days, the daily floating population
could exceed 10 lakhs and for which special
arrangements are made for channelising
people, for traffic control, transportation,
tented accommodation, ablution facilities,
feeding, health care and other facilities and
controls.
The city has 12 ASI protected monuments and 3 state protected mouments. It has a good
collection of artifacts in the Government Museum. Refer Table 20(a). The Museum has
collection of artifacts which date back to 200 BC. The collection includes coins, terracotta,

43
sculptures, etc. covered in 18 galleries featuring Kushan and Gupta periods. The first
Budha statue found in the world is in these galleries. The museum is world famous. The
building complex is in disrepair and badly located. The citizens are asking for a new
location and building. The city is also famous for its art and culture. There are more than 5
excavation sites where artifacts have been found dating back to first century AD. Around,
only one fourth of the excavation has been completed till date. The ghats like Vishram
ghat, the kunds, temples, kilas, tilas (excavated sites) and heritage buildings within and
outside the city limits are tourist attractions.

B6.2 Issues & Constraints:
In consultation with the Mathura-INTACH

chapter and other heritage groups and State
Tourism Deptt. officials, the following issues
and constraints have been identified in this
rapid assessment report.
x The surroundings of the heritage
tourism sites and places of visits are
not kept clean. A list of heritage
related priorities for Mathura
formulated by the INTACH convenor
for Brijboomi is at ANNEX C.
x There are no proper signage for
directions to important sites and buildings.
x The infrastructure facilities to monuments like approach road, drainage,
street lighting system is inadequate at most of the places.
x Public transportation system is weak and not enough facilities like city
buses, taxi stands etc exists.
x Tourist information booth have not been provided at key locations and
destinations.
x The heritage buildings, sacred places like Krishna Janam Bhoomi, Vishram
ghat, Potra kund etc are not been illuminated during the nights.
x There is no Master Plan prepared for heritage and tourism management.
x Statutory listing of sites, remains, ruins and buildings of archaeological,
architectural, cultural, historical or ecological value is missing.
B6.3 Key Heritage Actions
x With Heritage conservation in focus,

the Rapid Assessment for Mathura
NPP has endorsed the following key
issues through the Braj Bhoomi
Chapter of INTACH:-
o That Heritage is both Man-
made (moveable & immovable)
and Natural.
o That heritage encompasses
sites, remains, ruins, buildings
and areas of archaeological,
architectural, historical, cultural and ecological significance
irrespective of age. A statutory list is the starting point to recognize
heritage.
o That the list comprises of
All entries under the Ancient Monuments Act 1958, to be
preserved by ASI
All entries under the UP state Archaeology Act, to be preserved
by the State Department of Archaeology; and
All other entries to be conserved by the owners (government or
otherwise)
o That the list is to be statutorily processed under the State TCP Act as
part of the MVDA Plan.

45
o That the list could generate heritage precincts to be conserved,

including the river banks and Parikrama Buildings apart from other
individual heritage buildings.
In fact, INTACH have conducted an exercise of listing sites, remains, ruins and buildings of
archeological, architectural, historical, religious, cultural and ecological significance in
Mathura. There are over 400 entries in this list. They include the above protected
monuments. This list is being reduced to a manageable number for legal mapping and for
recognition of heritage precincts.

The Ghats are all part of the parikrama. Also the temples, entries B 5 to 17 are part of the
parikrama, sites and buildings. Based on this list, heritage precints are to be identified so
that projects for heritage precincts can be prepared. In this consultancy, a heritage project
area is identified for the entire parikrama of Mathura and another project for the Mathura
religious water-front. These require the help of conservation architects. The 12 identified
Kunds for restoration and environmental beautification is also another priority as part of
JN-NURM.
B7 HOUSING AND SLUMS
B7.1 Housing
B.7.1.1 Existing Situation
Housing is in mixed land use zones and primary residential zones.
Nearly 60% of the residential area is located in the old core city where houses are situated

47
along narrow lanes of 1.5 to 2.0 m widths. The density in this area is over 600 persons per
hectare and at an average of 6.25 persons per dwelling unit. There are many unauthorized
additions and alterations to the housing stock with their accompanying problems. Nearly
75% of the housing is owner occupied, and approx. 40% is inherited. People prefer to buy
developed plots to built houses but in any case want and expect the requisite infrastructure
to be fully operational. Owing to the low elasticity of incomes, the preference as per MVDA
is for smaller plots as the following preference pattern with them shows:-
x 20% less than 100 sq.m
x 26% , 100 -200 sq.m
x 30%, upto 200 sq. m
x 13%, 200-400 sq.m
x 11%, more than 400 sq.m
B 7.1.2 Future Growth & Demand
There is captive demand for housing from NRIs and from residents of States like Gujarat
and Bengal who wish to settle in Mathura / Vrindavan. There are 6 corridors in Mathura
namely Dehi, Agra, Vrindavan, Goverdhan, Aligarh and Baharatpur. Since Vrindavan is, for
all practical purposes an extension of Mathura (in religious terms it is referred to as the
soul of Mathura), it was logical for new housing and other developments to first come up
along or near these corridors. The new developments have shifted along Delhi –Agra
corridor which is NH-2.
For all income groups except those below the poverty line (BPL), there are 3 agencies
providing developed plots/ built housing namely: Mathura Vrindavan Development
Authority (MVDA), UP State Housing Board and private developers. The authority acquires
land from the farmers, develops it and sells it as a developed colony for HIG, MIG, LIG &
EWS categories. It pays compensation to the farmers through the land acquisition officer
under the District Magistrate. The sources of MVDA’s income are proceeds from sale of
developed plots/ built houses, registration fees from architects and engineers, penalties for
violation of building byelaws and stamp duties. In case of requirement of funds the MVDA
borrows it from HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation).
At present UP State Housing Board does not have any housing project in Mathura. The
organization also acquires land from farmers and pays them compensation. The land
acquired is developed as per MVDA regulations and sold as plots/ built housing. Private
developers are the major players in the field of providing developed plots/ built housing.
They also buy land from farmers in areas approved as residential land use in the Master
Plan and then get their layouts and
drawings approved by MVDA. The lack of
proper infrastructure i.e drainage, good
roads, drinking water, inadequate electric
power, encroachment etc act as
impediments to housing demand as also
willingness to shift out from the old to the
new areas.
In any event, new housing is taking place

only in wards of Mathura NPP area along
NH 2. Generally urban renewal is the key
issue. Accordingly, housing for the poor is
a major area for consideration.

B7.2 Urban Poor & Slums
B 7.2.1 Existing Situation
The Mathura city has been divided into 18 slum zones within which 68 slum pockets have
been identified. As per statistics from District Urban Development Agency (DUDA), the
total slum population in the city was around 1.44 lakh in 2001. This accounts for more than
40% of the total population of the city. More than 50% of the population in these slums
belong to SC/CT categories.
Refer Map B4 and B5
Refer ANNEX D1 and D2
The slums are mainly concentrated in the north-eastern part of the city limits. They are
also spread along the Yamuna banks and on Trans- Yamuna side. There is a huge gap of
basic physical and social infrastructure in the slums and which requires immediate
attention at policy and programme level.

Source : District Urban Development Authority (DUDA)
B7.2.2 Socio – Economic Characteristics
Literacy
The literacy rate of slum population in Mathura Urban Agglomeration as reported by DUDA
office as per census 2001 was about 55%. There has not been any studies or reports
about the dropout rates in the schools in the vicinity of slums. Further, there is not any
available source / information about the percentage of slum dwellers into the labour
market. This is an area to be studied in further depth at detailed project feasibility level.
Communities
Majority of the slum dwellers are Hindus, but Mathura UA is heterogeneous in character
with other communities like Muslims and Christians living there since several decades. A
majority have migrated from different neighboring villages and districts in search of better

50
employment opportunities in industry and in other informal sector activities related to

religious and pilgrim needs.
Land Status
Slums in the Mathura UA are located on private as well as government lands. Around 50%
of the slums in the 18 slum zones, have land/ownership on private lands, the rest is based
on spontaneous structures on government lands. These spontaneous slum areas have no
legal land status and are therefore suffering from lack of physical as well as social
amenities. With the support from DUDA, it is necessary for these spontaneous settlements
to be given in-situ tenural rights by cooperatising the squatter settlements. Initially these
encourage them to be upgraded in-situ. Over a period of time they could emerge in the
form of in-situ reconstructed units.
Environmental Conditions & Health Status

The environmental infrastructure in the slums is very poor and most of the slums lack basic
civic amenities like proper roads, drainage, sewerage, protected water supply, street lights,
toilets, solid waste management, etc. There are not enough studies available which show
the relation of the slums and disease patterns in these areas. There are only 2 health
centres in the slums. There is also a lack of hygienic community toilets at various
locations. Most of the slum dwellers do not have access to toilets. There is need to
strengthen the basic infrastructure for improving the environmental and health status of
these slums.
B7.2.3 Basic Infrastructure
There is no sewer line as well as no adequate storm water drainage facility in these slums.
Around 40% of the slums have partial coverage of roads and drainage along the roads.
Only, around 5% of the slums have more than 50% adequate road and drain coverage
infrastructure. Around 10% of the slums are affected by water logging due to inadequate
facility for drains. More than 40% of the slums have dilapidated structures. Around 60% of
the slums are covered with water supply facilities. Most of the people have individual hand
pumps rather than piped water connection. Only 1% of the slums are adequately covered
by street lighting facilities. There are however around 9564 pukka buildings in these slums.

B7.2.5 Poverty Reduction Initiatives

The slum development programmes for
poverty reduction is being managed by
District Urban Development Agency
(DUDA) mainly from the central as well as
state sources. Some of the programmes
managed by them in past and at present
are :
x SJSRY (Swarn Jayanti Shahrey
Rozgar Yojana),
x SJSRY (Training), Loaning
(Individual)
x DWACUA (Development of Women
and Child in Urban Areas)
x LCS (Low Cost Sanitation)
x UWEP (Urban Wages and
Employment Programme).
B7.2.6 Key Challenges, Issues &

Constraints
Inspite of various efforts done by the

concerned department (DUDA) with
assistance from central as well as state led
programmes towards poverty alleviation,
there are various key challenges, issues

52
and constraints in order to address the basic social and physical infrastructure in the slum
areas.
The following are some of the key challenges, issues & constraints regarding the slum
development and poverty alleviation:
x No proper listing of slum dwellers
x Lack of basic physical and social infrastructure
x Basic services are not affordable.
x No access to primary health care.
x Livelihood options not adequate.
x Affordable shelter and land tenure security is lacking.
x Literacy rate is low
x Community empowerment is weak,
x Institutional coordination is also weak.
B8 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK & GOVERNANCE
B8.1 Organizational Structure of Mathura Nagar Palika Parishad (NPP)
There are several agencies and parastatals involved in the urban service delivery process
for Mathura City. These include the state government departments, parastatals and local
bodies. While the departments are part of the government, parastatals are created through
the Acts of legislature or government orders. Local bodies are also created through
legislation. Thus Mathura City has a Nagar Palika Parishad. The NPP is the nodal
agency for this urban renewal project.
At present Mathura city does not have an elected council as the subject is sub-judice in the
state. The Municipality is headed by an Administrator, who is being assisted by an
Executive Officer. A separate post of Executive Officer (JNNURM) has been created by
Government of Uttar Pradesh for the JNNURM project in Mathura. The elected council was
dissolved in Dec. 2005, and presently the entire administration is being handled by an
Administrator and an Executive Officer. The municipality has around 1200 staff, which
looks after day to day activities related to the service delivery and general administration
and management.

53
B8.2 Functional Departments of Mathura - NPP
Main Office : Handles records , board meetings, administrative and communications;
Accounts : Salaries, provident fund, establishment, State Finance Commission, Central

Grants, Income –Expenditure etc.;
Records : Property records, tender form issues, registrations;
Health: sanitation (sewerage and drainage), solid waste management, drain

cleaning, workshop maintenance, birth and death registration and
certification;
Revenue: Handles tax, tehbazari, parking, sewage farm, mangal bazaar, redis, etc;
Nazul: Nagar Palika Land, NOC for construction ( New) , Maps records;
PWD: Roads and Drains;
Tax: Collection of taxes from hotels, guest houses, commercial tax, house tax,
water tax, sewer tax, assessment tax (new buildings);
Water Works: Water supply, line maintenance, dug wells maintenance, STP’s;
Street Light: Street lighting facilities;
In the event of town planning/ development control / building permission reverting

to ULBs in Uttar Pradesh, a long term post of Town Planner is necessary. In any
event, the post is required for project formulation/ processing. The engineering
wing has also to be strengthened for both urban services and construction work.
For resource mobilization and transparent accounting systems, the finance wing
has also to be strengthened.
The following sections provides the existing organizational structure of Mathura

Nagar Palika Parishad, and also provides the proposed structure in terms of
strengthening the administrative, engineering, town planning, financial and
institutional segments of the municipality.

The functional overlaps are mainly seen in the roads and side walks construction,
maintenance of roads and drainage. The governance of the city is characterized by
multiplicity of agencies. The critical issues that emerge from the existence of multiple
agencies include : spatial and functional fragmentation, overlapping functions, multiple
accountability lines, high service delivery gaps, and increasing urban poverty. This results
in the lack of inter departmental coordination which is a serious roadblock plaguing local
bodies. Coordination is largely left to the District Magistrate, who has a large number of
other functions and responsibilities.
B8.4 Issues & Challenges

x Inadequate Technical, Managerial and Financial Capacities of NPP.
x Functional Overlaps
x Poor and Weak Urban Governance.
x High Service Delivery Gaps.
x Infrequent - Interdepartmental Coordination.

SECTION C: SWOT ANALYSIS AND THE EMERGING MATHURA

VISION
C1. THE MATHURA URBAN RENEWAL AREA
C1.1 Citizen Concerns:
The growth of Mathura has been stunted in spite of the fact that various plans and reports
have been prepared over the years to address the problems of the area. The master plan
that has been prepared for the Mathura-Vrindavan area and upgraded have also been
silent on most urban renewal issues. After discussions with several stakeholders, the
following issues emerged:-
x Traffic and transportation is a major problem especially during the festive

seasons since Mathura-Vrindavan has very narrow lanes and no proper
parking facilities for the people who visit the place. Mixed traffic compounds
the problem.
x Drainage in the area is very poor, in spite of the fact that Mathura is situated
along and near riverbanks. The problem here is uncoordinated construction
work by sectoral departments that have encroached till the banks of the river;
x Continuing reclamation of land from the river and tanks by various
authorities involved in the development of the city; (e.g. the dumping of
malba).
x Inadequate revenue generation by the Mathura NPP and their weakness to
sustain themselves and carry out crucial development and renewal activities;
x Unauthorised additions and alterations to buildings and which are never
incorporated in the planning process. According to unofficial estimates over
80 percent of the city has such unauthorised construction.
Among the citizen concerns has also been the lack of coordination between the various
sectoral agencies. Water supply is woefully short. It is largely through ground extraction
as the Yamuna is heavily polluted. Water Management is lacking. Sewerage is in worse
shape. There is a sewerage system for
about 30 percent of the city area - with 2
sewerage disposal works - both
underutilized. However there are better
services in civil lines. Power is largely from
the grid but is also in short supply.
Solid Waste Management is weak in

Mathura city but a little better at Vrindavan,
and the cantonment. Traffic is chaotic;
roads badly maintained and in general,
large scale infrastructure upgradings is
necessary as part of the development
process.
Organisational and financial management by the NPP also needs being strengthened as
part of a vision for Mathura City 2001-2021.
C1.2 Mathura NPP as nodal agecy
The consultation process that led to the rapid assessment was highlighted in the previous
chapter. The entire Mathura NPP area is an urban renewal area and as an ‘inner city’ is

57
within the larger agglomeration known as the MVA (MVDA being the planning and
development authority). Refer Map C1 for the approved Master Plan for the MVDA – 2021
and within which the Mathura NPP area is highlights.
z The inner city has been the most neglected

area of “Braj”
z It stands out due to overcrowding, decaying
and unregulated building stock, incompatible
mix of uses, unusable/overworked services
networks, mixed traffic, unpaved and narrow
streets, lack of parking spaces, accumulated
solid waste, poor drainage, high pollution
levels and unregulated electricity
connections, hoardings and street furniture.
z At the same time it has heritage buildings,
sites, ghats, a riverfront and other footprints –
to be conserved through a holistic urban
renewal process.
Accordingly, Mathura NPP is the nodal agency for

this N-NURM Project
C2. FINANCIAL PROFILE – MATHURA NPP Map C1: Mathura NPP with the
MVDA plan area
C2.1 Finances of Mathura NPP
The financial profile of the city indicates the state of the city’s finances and the capacity of
the city to be able to manage its finances and mobilize resources for maintaining
infrastructural service at prescribed norms and standards. Therefore financial capacity of
Mathura NPP has been assessed on income, expenditure, debt service and performance.
C2.1.1 Revenue Accounts and Income
The financial accounts of the Mathura NPP is being maintained on “Cash Basis” i.e single
entry system. The following are the various sources of income of Mathura NPP: House tax,
tax on rickshaws, boats, parking fees, taxes from traders and shopkeepers, water tax,
water charges, sewer tax, show tax, transaction tax on house sale, advertisement tax,
tonga fee, energy operated sources, rent from assets, thakta fee, income from nazul
property, income from sewage farm, income from premium, tehbazari, maps, penalties,
interest from savings, etc. Besides this the other sources of income include State Finance
Commission sources, and other sources like MP funds, MLA funds.
It is observed that house tax, water tax, and revenue generated from registration and sale
of property accounts for the largest share of the revenue income generated by the
municipality. For 2005-06, the house tax accounted for 17 % of the total income generated
from own sources, sewer tax accounted for 26%, and registration and sale of property
(fees) accounted for 32% of the total income generated from own sources.
C2.1.2 Revenue Expenditure & Capital Accounts
The municipality spends its resources for establishment, operation and maintenance and
debt servicing of obligatory and discretionary services provided by it. The major heads of
revenue expenditure include general administration, water works, drainage, roads etc.
Most of the capital works are financed by way of loans, grants from State and Central

58
Government. The expenditure incurred on the water works accounts for around 18% of the
total expenditure, and drainage works accounts for also around 18% of the total
expenditure. Refer table 3A.
Table 3A: Income Revenue of Mathura NPP 2001-06

(Rs. In lakhs)
Year Income Expenditure
2000-01 734.66 765.70
2001-02 750.75 720.95

2004-05 1143.17 1187.59
2005-06 1327.07 1318.16
Primarily the NPP is dependent on the State Government for meeting its running costs. It
is now necessary for them to increase revenue and to undertaken major renewal projects
under the JNNURM.
The detailed revenue and expenditure profile of Mathura NPP is at ANNEX - E.
C3. SWOT ANALYSIS
The assessment of the status of the various sectors in the city has brought in a set of
issues for city development. While all issues are important, it was considered necessary to
prioritize them in order to address them more effectively. The prioritization of the issues
has been done based on several criteria including stakeholder perception and technical
assessment.
Further, assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of a

city forms a basis for preparation of a relevant City Development Plan (CDP). A city level
SWOT analysis has been done based on an assessment of the status of various sectors in
the city. This sub-section focuses on the consolidation of the issues and describing the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats respectively of Mathura NPP area.

C4. LIVABILITY RATE OF THE CITY
Based on the perception of citizens and achievable goals and strategies, the livability rate
of Mathura NPP is rated on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent) against each of the criteria
is as below. Refer table 3E below:
Table 3E: Livability Rate – Mathura NPP

1. Access to education 6
2. Access to employment 6
3. Access to safe and secure housing (private or public) 6
4. Access to credit for citizens 6
5. Access to clean, safe water 5
6. Access to sewerage services 4
7. Access to solid waste disposal 4
8. Access to affordable, reliable transport 5
9. Access to health care 7

61
10. Access to an environment that is safe (clean air, water etc.) 5

11. Personal safely 7
12. Capacity to participate in the city’s future development 6
Based on the above, the average rating for livability for Mathura city could improve from
below 4 at present to above 6 over the next 7 years.
C5. THE MATHURA VISION 2021 AND ITS CDP
C5.1 The Requirements of the Mathura Vision Plan
The required plan 2001-21, for Mathura NPP is not to be in the form of a Master Plan and
which has a constricted objective as hitherto in U.P. Nor is it to be in the form of a
development Plan and which does not give due weightage to conservation as part of a
development process. It is, in fact best approached as a 'sustainable development plan'
where services, transport and land use are considered in tandem as an integrated
development opportunity; this however is to be only after looking at forestation, protection
of rivers, water bodies and wetlands, settlement/urban level agriculture and market
gardens and all forms of organized greenery, socio-cultural and religious heritage - both
manmade and natural, as 'positive constraints'. This exercise of 'opportunities and
constraints' in tandem is best addressed through Environmental Management Plans. It
can however for this exercise be called a ‘Comprehensive Development Plan’ so that it is
better understood by all stakeholders. For Mathura this plan has been prepared for the
MVDA area through a perspective plan for 2021
The City Development Plan (CDP) for Mathura NPP through annual budgets that fits into
the MVDA perspective plan is proposed for 6 years, i.e. 2006-07 to 2011-12.
The above arrangements would be in conformity with the 73rd and 74th CAA. Largely for
Mathura NPP, the plans and programmes would be in the form of urban renewal
incorporating environmental and urban upgrading with enhancement of its urban footprints.
C5.2 The Key Emerging Issues for the Mathura CDP
Briefly through consultations, the following issues were identified:-
x Optimally utilize the available natural resources and retainable physical

environment in the development area;
x Ensure planned and coordinated development or redevelopment of the
development area which at present is haphazard;
x Conserve and enhance Mathura’s ancient heritage through statutory listing
and precinct plans.
x Provide the necessary directions and undertake planned development of the
area according to achievable densities;
x Provide housing to various income categories along with adequate
community facilities and amenities, so as to achieve balanced growth.
x Ensure that poverty alleviation programmes are effective and cater to the
housing of the urban poor through in situ upgrading or reconstruction.
x Ensure adequate provision of transportation infrastructure and traffic
orderliness.
x Undertake integrated development of the service industries and commercial
facilities in order to weave them with the existing social structure of the area.

62
x Prioritise facilities that need to be provided in order to achieve the set

targets.
x Provide necessary linkages to existing and proposed land uses and
x Control unplanned development in and around the religious sites and their
parikrama route.
The above issues are to take cognisance of the large pilgrim influx the year round to
Mathura-Vrindavan-Govardhana and largely through Mathura.
C5.3 Emerging Key Planning and Development Issues
The key planning and development issues that have accordingly emerged during
discussions with the concerned government officials and other stakeholders are:
x Encroachments on agricultural land and open areas: Urbanisation has

expanded in an ad hoc manner, often onto the green areas and open spaces. The
rural green (agriculture) belt is also under tremendous development pressure due
to non-availability of developable lands within the existing settlement boundaries.
x Unauthorised colonies without proper infrastructure facilities. A list of
unauthorised colonies in Mathura is available. Most of them are against the
designated (proposed) land use. A few of them which are not against the
designated land use have not got their plans sanctioned by the concerned
departments. For these colonies, regularisation can be done after charging a
penalty and land use change charges. However, some of these colonies are by
groups below the poverty line and policies on in-situ upgrading, reconstruction or
relocation should apply.
x Exploitation of ground water resources: Only about 25% of the city population
presently have access to piped water supply system. Ground water is the primary
source for domestic consumption in new development areas. These have to be
closely regulated and managed and replaced in stages with surface water.
x The Yamuna as a religious-cultural reality. However due to bad usage it enters
Mathura in an impure state. Worse still the steps, bunds and kunds have been
destroyed due to bad upkeep and negligence. Their restoration through citizen
participation is crucial with stringent development actions and monitoring by the
Central Pollution Control Board.
x Floating pilgrim population is a year round phenomenon in Mathura-Vrndavan
and Govardhana. On several festive days there is a bulge and this has not been
adequately catered for.
x No linkage in land-use planning and financial planning: it is necessary to cater
to these linkages. The Nagar Palika Parishad is required to prepare annual and 5
year financial plans for its area. These plans include a list of projects, estimated
costs and budget requirement but do not have any spatial perspective. At present,
it appears that the UP Town and Country Planning Department often prepares
master plans for development areas without incorporating cost implications of
proposed developmental activities. In-depth consultation with concerned
departments has not been a major feature in plan preparation exercise. 5 year
plans are best prepared through wards. For this capacity building is required.
x Lack of sector co-ordination in planning and developmental activities:
Industrial, residential and infrastructure investment decisions are un-coordinated
particularly in the peri-urban areas where pressures for urban expansion are
increasingly pronounced and difficult to monitor and control.
x Synergy between the 2nd and 3rd tier of governance is absent and needs

63
being strengthened. In general, the progress of plan implementation relating to

residential development is reasonable but proposals relating to widening of
existing roads, construction of new road links, redevelopment of congested areas,
relocation of non-conforming land uses, preservation/conservation of water
bodies/ tanks or sensitive areas and management of cultural heritage require
being strengthened.
C5.4 The Renewal Strategy
x Through a series of discussions with citizens, institutions, and officials

and the rapid appraisal as being highlighted herein, the consultancy
upholds a preliminary Mathura City Vision as below:
o That Mathura junction emerges as a true peoples rail entreport
through only Broad Gauge Electrified traction and enhanced pilgrim
facilities and facilitation including the transfer of the special pilgrim
tax on tickets to a special budget for this purpose.
o That National Expressway and Taj Expressway generates sufficient
access points to the MVA and the intercity bus stations be captured
near these highways. For intra-city and rail station movements be by
personalised vehicles and small capacity Para-transit modes including
the cycle-rickshaw.
o Likewise, inter-city goods vehicles be captured at such nodes for
intra-city distribution of goods by light vehicles other than animal-
drawn.
x The interchange terminals be also availed of for truck terminals, pilgrim
centres, tourist lodges, manufacturing units other than household and the
likes.
x The possibility of replacing the Mathura – Vrindavan Single Carriage
Electric coach by a bus based system be explored.
x With citizen participation, some 5-6 Multi Storeyed Parking Areas may be
identified. But, traffic management through one-way streets, prohibition
of heavy vehicles, deterrent parking fees and the like is a must.
x All level-crossings to be replaced by road under-bridge (RUB) or road
over bridge (ROB) and water logging solutions found, even the cost of
providing and maintaining for such projects. Foot overbridges are
required at several crossings.
x The Yamuna (apart from cleaning under YAP II) should have its waterfront
restored and the Mathura Parikrama (a 14 km stretch encompassing 25
temples and ghats) be improved. Opposite bank should also be enhanced
as a heritage recreation area.
x Several Municipal Wards be earmarked as heritage precincts where
temples, religious buildings, kunds etc be restored through conservation
architects and people’s groups.
x Likewise, listed heritage buildings be conserved through conservation
proposals.
x The Mathura Slaughter-house be immediately shifted and relocated
through a scientific abattoir at an identified site, south of Mathura.
x Ward and Mohalla Committees be activated so that each ward has a plan
for paved pathways, street lighting, proper drainage and ablution
facilities, underground electric cables (even at a cost), proper garbage
management (even through privatised systems).

64
x Zoning regulations and Building Byelaws be simplified and penalties for

misuse and unauthorised construction be subject to deterrent penalties.
x The Mathura NPP be made viable through adequate resources and staff.
Capacity building and Training is necessary. In particular, ward level
participation be strengthened.
x Through Gokul Barrage, surface water be enhanced as a source through
a structured distribution system and ground water as a source be
minimised in the inner city (The water distribution tanks of 1912 vintage
need immediate repairs).
x Sewerage disposal systems be extended to the entire city and drainage
channels improved (Most of them get choked due to solid waste).
x A second barrage across the Yamuna upsteam of Vrindavan be expedited
after a proper technical assessment.
C5.5 The Basic Mathura NPP Area Vision
o Mathura as a prime Heritage – tourism and religious focus of the Braj

o Improved water quality in the Yamuna, restoration of water front as an
enhanced religious focus
o Slum Free City
o Improving the environmental ambience through sustained maintenance &
strategies by local bodies and others through the active participation of
the people.
o Segration of non-destined uses at the core & periphery so as to
encourage pilgrim tourism to Mathura-International, National, Regional

65
SECTION D: THE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MATHURA NPP

JURISDICTION
D1 THE BROAD LAND USE PATTERN
D1.1 The Mathura NPP
The fact is underlined that the entire Mathura NPP area of 28.50 sq. km. comprises of the
urban renewal zone of the larger Mathura Vrindavan Development Area Plan as approved
for the period 2021. This is also true of the adjoining Vrindavan NPP area. Thus the two
twin NPP jurisdictions are the core of the Braj heritage; with Mathura serving as the
entreport to the entire Braj sacred ambience. It is also necessary to consider a combined
basic service for Mathura Cant. with the NPP as they are part of a common urban
agglomeration.
Map D-1 shows the geographic area of the Map D1: The Mathura NPP Jurisdiction
Mathura NPP. The jurisdiction is divided
into 45 wards catering to 3.02 lakh people
in 2001 in congested environs. Inmigration
to this area is reducing (unlike inmigration
to neighbouring Vrindavan). The
population of the UA was 3.23 lakh in this
period. However the floating population is
large and estimated at an average of over
1.00 lakh persons per day in 2001.
Therefore for services, the population of
Mathura UA was estimated at 3.73 (at 50
per cent of estimated daily floating
population). On auspicious days, it is
estimated to exceed even ten lakhs. This
puts organizational pressure for additional
services on the District administration and
the Nagar Palika Parishad.
The Mathura NPP is the nodal agency for

the JN-NURM investment driven project, as
they are the best placed for public private
partnerships (PPP’s) as a local body.
However, However, for financial and other
reasons, the NPP lacks buoyancy and are suspect in the eyes of the people. Therefore,
substantial capacity building is required for the NPP and which currently is heavily
dependent on the State Administration through the District Magistrate and who would
continue orchestrating investments through the NPP and other state line agencies
(departments and parastatals). Also, dedicated funds through the Member of Parliament
for Mathura District and the Member Legislative Assembly for Mathura-Vrindavan segment
of this parliamentary constituency would in good measure be meaningfully utilized in the
improvement of the city. The Cantonment has its own local body and planning processes.
However in view of its rapid growth, basic services upgradation is proposed along with that
for Mathura NPP.
D1.2 The Structure Plan
Map D2 shows the broad land use pattern for the Mathura NPP as determined in the
approved MVDA Plan 21. It would be seen from this plan that the most sacred stretch of

66
the river Yamuna is shared by Mathura and Vrindavan. Thus two separate parikrama’s
punctuate the religious-cultural significance of the place. This calls for major
improvements along the two parikrama routes. With Mathura NPP area in focus in the
current exercise, the temples, ghats and water front relationships of the people with the
river has to be improved and largely restored. This has to be extended all along the route
and where it interfaces with the crowded city. It would also be seen that the bulk of
parikrama Mathura NPP area is a mixed use zone with a rapidly deteriorating ambience,
except for the smaller portion engulfed by Mathura Contonment and which largely houses
the government offices. It would also be seen from this plan that Railway operational land
occupies a large chunk of core land and where through Mathura Railway Junction, the
transportation of goods and people is operationalised and dispersed in all directions –
north to Delhi and beyond, west to meet Alwar and Jaipur, south towards Mumbai,
Chennai and the west Indian peninsula and east towards Hatras and the State of UP and
beyond towards Kolkata. Add to this the convergence of roads-primarily through the Road
Transport Undertakings of primarily UP, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and MP, it would
emerge that transport convergence and dispersal is a crucial component of Mathura city as
it generates inter and intra-settlement traffic and which is chaotic at present. Fortunately,
except for bulk oil due to the Refinery in the area, the city is not a goods distribution centre.
It is in fact a rail-cum-road goods dispersal centre. However, in terms of people, Mathura
is a pilgrim convergence centre. This is compounded by the fact that a majority of people
passing through Mathura also enter the city for a religious visit. In migration to Mathura
NPP area still occurs in non-
mixed land use areas,
primarily along NH2. Also,
operational use in the Cant.
is increasing and this attracts
a large support population
that requires services.
As stated earlier, the

demographic trends for
Mathura UA shows that in
2001, the UA had 3.23 lakh
persons. By 2011 it is
estimated to be around 4.28
lakh and by 2021 around
5.52 lakh. However floating
population is an issue in
planning, in investments
development, in environment
upgrading and in city and
district management.
Accordingly services are
being planned from 3.73
lakhs in 2001, to 5.15 lakhs
in 2011 and 6.67 lakhs in
2021.
The approved MVDA plan

2021 does stress on the
importance of the Mathura
bye-pass i.e. NH2 (now part
of the golden quadrilateral).
They have even proposed a
further westward shift of this

67
bye-pass but trends indicate that this would not be necessary by 2021. In addition the
regional plan underlines the fact that the NOIDA-Agra bye-pass east of the Yamuna is a
reality and this would give improved access to both Mathura and Vrindavan to their east.
The Indian railways are
also converting the Agra-
Mathura-Hatras line to
broad gauge and the
Mathura-Alwar line is being
electrified and made
double-track broad gauge
so as to link up with the
Delhi-Mumbai rail rapid
corridor via Jaipur, Udaipur
and Ahmedabad. Thereby,
the shifting of inter-state
bus stations, and transport
nagars would be
accelerated leaving
movements within Mathura
city largely to paratransit
and modest personalized
vehicular flows. Even so,
traffic management and
enforcement is a major
issue in this urban renewal
exercise.
From Map D2, it would also be seen that a single large industrial area along the NH2 bye-
pass is now being transformed into small scale service units in place of larger polluting
units which have shifted to Koshi-Kalan, Nandgaon and the Chatta State Industrial Estates
with better production and infrastructure facilities. Thus the city apart from small-scale and
services production and facilities also offers employment through household production in
the inner city. This primarily caters to religious purchases in terms of confectionery,
garments, metal, wooden and other articles. Several inner-city units producing metal
curios and printed sarees could move to these vacated paces with incentives for such
spitning. Packaging and disposal of waste is unorganized and is part of JN-NURM funding
for improvements. Wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower markets are also along NH2.
Even here and in small outlets within the city, waste disposal is an issue. The MVDA plan
2021 does address the broader shifting and inner city renewal aspects but translating such
visions/ perspectives/ projections into implementation projects is part of this exercise.
Accordingly, key projects are addressed sectorally in the sub-sections below.
D2. URBAN RENEWAL THROUGH THE DOWN-TOP PROCESS.

As stated earlier, the entire Mathura NPP is an urban renewal area of the MVDA.
This is also largely true for Vrindavan NPP area. Thus reforms through the down-
top public private participation process (PPP) could be made to work in Mathura
through the ward committees and as stipulated in the 74th CAA.
D3. THE MUNICIPAL WARD AS THE BASIC URBAN RENEWAL UNIT
Under the 73rd and 74th amendments, the third tier of government cannot easily be
superseded. In the state of U.P., elections for the new local bodies are due within a
stipulated period. In such an event, the NPP should be having 45 newly elected/re-elected
ward councilors,each responsible for his or her ward. Map D3 shows the approximate

68
jurisdictions of the wards. In 2001, each ward had an average of about 7,000 inhabitants
(5,700 to range). Refer table 4A. By 2011 it would be approximating 10,500 (6,500 to
11,000 range), unless the State Election Commission reconstitutes the wards. There is
also a view that the jurisdiction of the NPP should be increased. In general, however, the
population ranges mentioned above are manageable for a city of the size of Mathura. It
requires accountability of elected councilors for the welfare of between 1000 to 1800
families each. Proper ward level mapping and superimposing ward level projects and drill
for maintenance of assets thereof help in transparency and PPP at ward level prior to this
being coalesced at city and regional levels.
Wards in Mathura are of 2 district typologies. The smaller high density core wards, all with
mixed uses, and the more spread out wards of medium density between the core wards
and NH2. Some of these larger wards also have mixed use zones. 9 of the wards (all
core wards) are along the water front. One ward where the District administration is
located is engulfed by the cantonment and at least 9 of the larger wards are along NH2.
The industrial zone along NH2 is in one ward as is Mathura Rail Junction. The sewage
farm in trans-Yamuna is also in one ward. Thus an intrinsic equation envelopes between
the master plan land use zones and the wards. Ground surveys had also shown that
though governance through wards is not very strong in Mathura as in most of urban and
rural areas of the state, yet, remarkably, local leadership and interests narrate and relate
their woes and aspirations in terms of wards. This happens in several settled urban
communities rooted to given locations, kith and kin and therefore are very vocal in
neighborhood deficiencies and needs. If resources are strengthened by and through the
NPP, the participatory process through wards could be strengthened in Mathura through
consistent capacity building in the NPP. The fact has to be underlined that the ward
councilor is the single elected ward representative. It is for him to constitute his
own ward committee and for which NPP level guidelines are required to make such
groups representative of all or most neighborhood views. This applies in equal
measure to Vrindavan NPP as well but not to Mathura Cant. and where the Sub Area
Commander and the Cant. Board understandable dictate local decisions.

SECTION F: THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN FOR MATHURA

NPP AREA
F1 CIP CRITERIA
The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) has been framed looking at the level of investment’s
that would be required to implement the CDP.
The capital investment has been made as a multi-year schedule of improvements of the
existing assets/ infrastructure and of new infrastructure. The phasing of the investments
has been done on the basis of the city’s requirements and the resources that could be
generated from the potential projects to sustain the assets and investments over a period
of years. Though the programme is for 7 years from 2005-06 to 2011-12, the phasing
through the consultative process has been shown for the 5 year period of 2006-07 to
2010-11, anticipating an overspill into 2011-12 but not beyond.
The CIP process involved the following criteria :
x Project Identification
x Project Prioritization
x Capital Investment and Phasing
F2 PROJECT INVESTMENTS
The projects as identified have been assessed to require phased out investments between
2006-07 to 2011-12, as below. This is shown in tabular form in each of the ten sectors.

As illustrated above Rs1462.46 Crores will be the contribution of the GoI, Rs 274.36 Crores will
come from GoUP and it’s departments. The balance will come from Nagar Palika Parishad
(Rs.28.06 Crores), Private Sector (Rs 63.20 Crores) and Rs 2.36 Crores from the beneficiaries
of low cost housing.
The GoUP will make provision for Rs. 274.36 crores towards its share over the period of 6 years
till financial year 2011-12. The Nagar Palika Parishad would required financial assistance of
Rs.23 crores as under to meet its contribution (The balance will be from internal sources in the
later years, possible because of fiscal reforms).

No.
1 2006-07 Rs.8 Crores

The above funds will be required to be provided to the NPP from the revolving Fund Scheme of
the Urban Development Department of GoUP and will be repaid in 10 equal yearly installments.
While we have explained the sources of funding for the Rs.1830.43 Crores investment the
important aspect is of sustenance of this investment. The financial capacity of the Mathura NPP
is very low. A brief description of the financial situation is detailed hereunder.
In the fiscal year 2005-06 the review sources for the NPP were as under :
Property Tax (House tax/ Water Tax/ Sewerage Tax) Rs.154 lacs
Other Income Rs.162 lacs
Surcharge from Stamp Duty Rs.174 lacs
Premium from Sale of Property Rs.123 lacs
Government Grants Rs.714 lacs
Income from own sources is only Rs 316 lacs (not considering premium from sale of property)
out of the total revenue of Rs.1327 lacs i.e. 23.8%.
The income from sale of property Sources of Revenues (2005-06)

cannot be considered in future (Rs. Crores)
projections and the share from
surcharge on stamp duty will not Property Tax
enhance as the stamp duty rate is (House tax/
proposed to be reduced as per reform Water Tax/

To meet the above drastic action has to be taken to improve the fiscal capacity of the NPP. At
present only 35940 households properties in the Nagar Palika Area are assessed and the water
supply requirement that is met is less than 50%. The coverage of sewerage/ drainage is also
only 10% of the NPP Area. Considering that under JNNURM we are envisaging to provide vastly
enhanced coverage of water supply sewerage and drainage we can recover enhanced tax, water
and sewerage tax and water charges.
The assumptions and calculations on this basis for property tax and water charges are as under.

Other Assumptions – Income

1. Other Tax and Non tax Income increase by 20% annually. Non tax income would
include the enhanced water charges as per the detail calculation above from fiscal
year 2006-07.
2. Other Income has been assumed to grow at 10% annually.
3. Government Grants remain constant. However they are after adjustment of
installment against outstanding loans from the State Government.
4. Income from New Projects has been assumed from projects which will be with
Private Sector Investment.
The following assumptions have been made for projecting future expenditure
1. Establishment & O&M (Existing) has been assumed to increase by 10% annually.
2. Salaries have been assumed to increase by 2% annually
3. O&M of assets created under JN-NURM has been assumed as assets that will be
the responsibility of the Municipality and it increases with the influx of the
investment.
4. Other expenses have been assumed to increase by 5% annually
5. Since the Municipality is able to improve its financial portion they are able to
undertake enhanced capital expenditure which has been assumed to increase by
15% annually.

Conclusion
By undertaking prudent fiscal measures and reforms the NPP is able to enhance its revenue
from the current level of Rs.1376 lacs to Rs.6371 lacs in 2011-12, out of which income from own
sources amounts to 86%. In this scenario it is able to meet the O&M cost of the assets created
under NURM.

Heritage priorities for Mathura by Braj Bhoomi Chapter of INTACH :
Mathura district spread over 3780 sq km with population of over a million. A historic city at the cross
roads of important ancient trade routes extending westwards to West Asia & the Roman Empire,
northwards, via Taxila, Pushkalavati and Purushapur to Central Asia & Silk Route & eastwards to China
stands today at the junction of modern India's major road & rail routes connecting north to west, south &
east.
Mathura - the birthplace of revered Lord Krishna, manifestation of Lord Vishnu, 5000 years back is part of
Brajbhoomi region. The Braj area is a loosely defined geographic region with its distinct culture, language
& heritage considered to be playground of Lord Krishna. Located approx 150 kms from the national
capital Delhi on way to Agra, Mathura is the epicenter of Brajbhoomi. Other areas include Gokul,
Mahavan, Baldeo, Vrindaban, Goverdhan & Nandgaon etc located within 30-50 kms of Mathura. The
language spoken is Hindi with a distinct Braj dialect.
The capital of Surasena Kingdom, during the times of Buddha, in 5th century BC, Mathura was ruled by
Kushanas - Kanishka, Huvishka & Vashiska. During Emperor Ashoka's reign in Mauryan era(3rd century
BC) Mathura witnessed economic & cultural revival. Subsequently ruled by Shunga dynasty(2nd centu~
BC), Indo-Greeks(180 BC) Indo-Scythians(1st century BC) & Gupta dynasty(4t century AD). Xuanzang,
Chinese explorer, visited Mathura in 634 during his travel through India ..
The relics of history are scattered all over the brajbhoomi region. Temples, forts, ponds (sarovars),
statues of Lord Buddha (from Kushana period) & thousands of sculptures (3rd century BC to 12th century
AD) in Mathura museum etc. Mathura draws millions of tourists every year.
Mathura has a lot of heritage sites which has prompted a steady flow of tourists in the city. These tourists
mainly visit religious and cultural places. International Tourists are intrigued by the sculptures and other
art forms in the Mathura Museum and in the Krishnajanmabhoomi where a beautiful temple stands at the
birthplace of Lord Krishna. Mathura, today is an important place for pilgrimage and receives thousands of
religious tourists every year. The Dwarkadhish Temple built in 1814, with its temple carvings and fine
paintings is Mathura's most visited shrine.
Mathura has contributed a lot towards Indian Culture through its rich heritage. The ethos of Mathura, and
in fact the whole of Braj, is centered on Krishna and his tales. Mathura sees heightened activities during
the major festivities dedicated to the lord.
The Braj culture has been expressed widely through various practices.
Sanjhee is the colourful art of decorating the ground with flowers.
The Raaslilas of Mathura have become an integral part of Indian Folklore. According to popular belief,
Shri Krishna had danced the Raas with the gopis on the banks of the Yamuna. When the gopis felt
slightly conceited about Lord Krishna dancing with them, he disappeared from their midst. In the pain of
separation from Lord Krishna, the gopis enacted his liIas (divine episodes of his life) which in course of -
time came to be known as the Raaslilas. The childhood pranks of Shri Krishna constitute the main theme
of these dramas.
Rasiya too is a tradition that is integral to Mathura's Culture. It is the tradition of folk-songs that describe
the love of the divine couple Radha and Shri Krishna. It is an inseparable part of the Holi celebrations and
all other festive occasions at Mathura.
Charkula is a traditional folk dance of the Brij. In this dance a woman balances a column of deepikas on
her head and dances to the accompaniment of Rasiya songs by the men folk.
The language spoken in the Brij district is mainly Hindi which is spoken in a different dialect. This dialect
is characteristic with the Brij region and has come to be known as Brijbhasha.
Mathura is steeped in Hindu tradition, which is visible everywhere. The temples, riverfront and ponds are
all centres of religious activity. From early morning till dusk devotees throng the holy places. In their quest
for salvation, the numerous Brahmin priests who conduct prayers guide pilgrims.
The renewal of this city steeped in history & cultural heritage has to be all encompassing for effective
development & tourism promotion-
Heritage Preservation-
All heritage cities around Mathura to be identified including old city in Mathura, Vrindavan, Goverdhan,
Gokul, Barsana, Nandgaon etc to preserve their identity.
All development activity should be governed by a centralized body with representation from
INTACH,cultural bodies etc.
Areas within old city shall be converted into pedestrian zones & only pollution free vehicles be allowed to
operate.
Waterfront of the city shall be developed to provide for smooth flow of pilgrims. Riverfront can also
become a tourist attraction.
Identification, preservation & development of heritage structures including temples, ponds etc shall be
undertaken.
Activities at religious places of worship shall be regulated to prevent harassment & exploitation of
devotees.
Orientation & training of tourist guides .
Cultural Preservation -
Promotion of local cultural activities including Raslila, dances etc - Training schools can be set up - this
kind of activity can be self-sustaining as it can generate employment & can be a major tourist attraction.
Promotion of Brajbhasha - An institute for brajbhasha research with library for preservation of manuscripts
can go a long way in this effort.
Infrastructure Development-
Development of neo-urban areas to reduce pressure on old city.
Development of world-class infrastructure including road network, water supply, drainage etc.
Tax incentives for development of boarding facilities for tourists from all economic strata .
. Adequate signage display for directions, historical significance etc at all relevant sites.
Mathura's significance in Indian Culture is parallel to that of Jerusalem and the Vatican in the Western
world. It is a seat of India's cultural and religious history. Therefore, the tourist's current Golden Triangle
consisting of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur ought to include Mathura & be called the Golden Quadrangle.
Thanking you,
