DRAFT DEVLOPMENT PLAN
BARANAGAR MUNICIPALITY
Presentation to KMPC
1 March 2007
VISION
• Once the seat of high religious customs and testimony to diverse cultural activities,
our century old municipality intends to transform itself into an environment friendly,
clean and attractive urban area not deterred by the past unplanned growth. Need
based and problem driven issues relating to infrastructure improvement plan,
pollution free mandate, organized and homogeneous growth perspective along with
heritage conservation, refurbished slum infrastructure and increased development
focus on poor households will aim to ensure all our citizens lead healthy lives.
• All excluded and marginalized groups who do not benefit from any poverty alleviation
schemes will get an opportunity to address their livelihood issues. Literacy mission
and health for the poor and masses operation are the two main forte to achieve the
above goal. Booming trade and commerce and industries on both sides of its many
main arteries, that characterize this municipality and underline its locational
advantage, have a formal and regulated growth.
• Simple and efficient organizational structure and long term innovative financial
planning will serve the local citizen better and have adequate solvency for the
municipality which has a long historical and renaissance background and ways to go
into the promising future.
CONTEXT
• The town has grown along the banks of the River
Hooghly - horizontal expansion is restricted by the river
on the west, Territory of KMC in the south and eastern
Railway lines in the North and East
• Resulting to phenomenal increase in population density
approximately 35000 persons per sq.Km.--second
highest in KMA
• Relatively western part of B.T. Road that is old Baranagar
is more saturated than eastern side of B.T. Road where
expansion potential has been observed
DEMOGRAPHY
• 41 out of 87 slums have more than 100 families
• SP Banerjee Road at ward 12 with 1223,niranjan Sen
•
•
Nagar at ward 33 with 813 families and Kalimata Colony
at ward 33 with 452 families are the highest in this order
Similarly out of 33 wards, 5 wards namely 8, 12, 25, 26
and 33 having more than 10000 population
Dual reasons may be attributed are over saturation at
older parts and availability of vacant land in the newly
developed locality where service and other lands are
open for encroachment by the squatters
INITIATING THE DDP
• Strategic thinking that went into the DDP preparation:
– Pro-poor project orientation
– Stress on operations and management of the existing infrastructure
– Significant capital investment for need based projects like high value
and prestigious new water treatment plant
– Development and environmental control on future and existing growth
– Livelihoods and local economic development for the urban poor as well
as improved healthcare and primary education service delivery
– Improved and more efficient municipal institutional strengthening with
focus on organizational development and manpower planning
THE PROCESS
• All the workshops 1 and 2 as per the toolkits of each sub
component were organised
• 20 focused group discussions with formal and informal stakeholders
of the municipality with respect to poverty alleviation, local
economic development, health care, education and slum
infrastructure improvement
• Various meetings to formulate plans for organization development,
internal process and system improvement, citizen interface and
financial plan
• Ad-hoc meetings of DPG and DTGs as and when necessary
THE STAKEHOLDERS
• Slum inhabitants, BPL families, marginalized and excluded class
• Ward citizens as a whole and daily commuters availing trans•

support
Assumptions had to be made for demand projection
Super imposition of modern development was impossible on the run
down and over crowded physical and social infrastructure base
Urban planning per capita norms and standards were superseded
by the phenomenal magnitude of the existing and future urban
growth which was beyond the DDP parameters
Unique urban growth has resulted in the explosion of all municipal
service delivery which was hard to bridge in the DDP proposals
Financial solvency of the municipality was another obstacle which
restricted remedial measures

•
•
P.M. at Rabindra Bhavan auditorium of Baranagar Municipality. The meeting
was chaired by the Municipal Chairman attended by almost all ward
councilors, CIC members, ward committee secretaries/ members, common
citizen, different stakeholders, municipal staff and high officials and others
It was a grand success and well attended by nearly 350 persons
Advertisement and publicity was made in Bengali daily Ganashakti and
Local TV Cable Networks
Public Validation was open for 1 month from 19th January to 19th February
’07
The DDP Report was kept in a public place however only 2 feedbacks were
received
At the end of the public validation, BOC resolution was made to adopt it on
26th February ’07
The Final DDP has been submitted to KMPC on 27th of February 2007
CONCLUSION
• Limitations in the form of gaps in thematic integration of
•
various proposals and linkages between the proposed
development plan and the overall resource availability.
Gaps are likely to exist in various socio-economic and
infrastructure datasets which have not been entirely
addressed through the various surveys conducted, thus
resulting on a greater emphasis on the use of secondary
data, citizens’ feedback, ward level consultations and
participatory planning as much as possible.
CONCLUSION
The important features, in the process of making the first
generation DDP, include
• Participation by and consultation with the widest range
of stakeholders, Ward Committees, NHG, NHC, CDS, etc.
• Pro-poor focus
• Transparent system for prioritization of issues.
• Realistic and affordable financial projections from
predictable funding schemes.
• Short gestation, cost effective projects with large
number of beneficiaries and community participation.
Monitoring Strategies
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identification of monitoring team and the requisite qualification and
elgibility of its members.
Finalisation of periodicity of such monitoring or progress review, viz.
annual review, mid-term review after 3 years or any intermediate and
emergency review.
Monitoring functions like Time and Cost overrun, quality of work,
resource mobilization including human resource.
Finding out Critical Path Method or Periodic Evaluation Review Technique
(PERT-CPM) to come to a feasible solution
IT enabled Project monitoring and management service for a more
objective progress review.
Decision by the DPG in association with respective DTGs to revise the
course of action of the plan implementation process.
And continuing interim review process to keep track on the progress or
delay of work.
