20. GoM R&R Policy
The Government of Maharashtra has prepared Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy
To rehabilitate the slum dwellers and project affected households of MUTP and MUIP
To develop and implement R&R through active community participation
To accord housing and civic rights and form Co-operative Housing Society
To improve local environment and motivate and organise the community to manage resettlement colony
To retain existing community network and minimize adverse impact to host community

21. Salient features of the slum rehabilitation scheme
Eligibility - A PAP whose name is in the electoral as on 1st Jan, 95
Provide free tenement of 225 sq. ft. carpet area to each PAH
Provide Rs. 20,000/structure for future maintenance
Minimum density 500 t/s per hectare

TDR is available against free sale component as spill over 2.5 FSI
One Balwadi, One Welfare centre and a Society office for every 100 tenements each admeasuring 225 sq. ft. each

22. Salient features of the slum rehabilitation scheme
Un-encroached land belonging to a private party is conveyed free of cost to the government for the use of re-housing PAPs currently encroaching public land needed for vital public project
Land owner to receive 1:1 TDR in lieu of the land
Land owner/Developer to receive incremental TDR against construction of rehabilitation tenements at the ratio of 1:1.33

23. Legal Framework Governing SRA Scheme
The Maharashtra Slum Areas Act 1971: for notifying the slums and for fixing the eligibility criteria of slum dweller
LA Act 1894: for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes.
MRTP Act, 1966: for preparation of Development Plans to designate land for public purposes, which can be acquired under LA Act
DC Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991: provides for an alternative to acquisition under LA Act 1894 by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
The Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act 1960: provides for establishing, registering and administering the cooperative societies

24. Step Involved in Slum Rehabilitation
Identification of vital public projects
Preparation of BSES Reports and Cadastral Maps
Identification of lands suitable for transit and permanent rehabilitation, preparation of plans and approval to the schemes by the competent authority
Preparation of eligible slum dwellers/PAPs list
Certification of the PAPs list by the Collector
Public consultations, issuance of identity cards and allotment letters
Construction of Transit tenements
Shifting of PAPs into transit tenements and clearing the corridors.
Construction of Permanent tenements
Shifting of PAPs into permanent tenements
Post resettlement activities such as Co. Op. Housing Soc. Registration/transfer funds to the societies

25. Construction of Transit Tenements
Transit tenements provided temporary accommodations for slum dwellers while permanent tenements were being completed
8000 transit tenement were constructed under MUTP along with necessary infrastructure
The transit tenements are of approximately 120 sq.ft carpet area each with common toilet facilities
Pedestrian pathways along with other basic amenities such as water, electricity and ration shops have been provided

26. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Process
Based on recommendations of a Task Force assigned to frame a policy regarding Resettlement & Rehabilitation the policy has been formulated.
Baseline Surveys, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan, Rehabilitation Implementation Plans (RIPs) and Community Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) have been prepared with the help of NGOs.
Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) prepared covering;
Number of families affected by the project
Policy framework and entitlements
Land acquisition details
Identification of resettlement sites and purchase of built houses
Plans for transit and permanent housing
Economic rehabilitation measures
Monitoring, evaluation procedures, grievance & redressal mechanisms
Time-table including the preparation of detailed implementation plans

27. NGOs and Community Involvement
The project is being implemented with the assistance of the NGOs like SPARC and SRS
The process of community participation began from the stage of conducting BSES and RIP preparation and the post rehabilitation support and services for each of the project component
Reputed NGOs and Community Based Organisations working in the project areas engaged to carry out the BSES through the active participation of the community

28. NGOs and Community Involvement
NGOs involvement helped to:
Identify the community preferences in new relocation site
Shelter design
Formation of Co. Op. Housing Societies of the PAHs
Formation of Mahila Milan Committees
Training the groups in maintenance and management of community needs
Preparing the community to adapt to new lifestyle in multi-storied building
Maintenance of the local environment and services
Training and assisting the communities in establishing community based savings and loan during the post resettlement phase
Promote community savings, income earning activities and improved quality of life

29. Public Information Centres (PIC)
PICs have been established in the office of MMRDA and the project sites to provide:
Information pertaining to the project
Eligibility & entitlements
Project components and implementation schedules
Public consultation and transparency process
NGOs associated with the project to provide volunteers to manage the PIC at the project site

30. Grievance Redressal Mechanism
Two separate Committees have been appointed by MMRDA for redressal of grievances of the Slum dwellers/ PAHs
Field Level Grievance Committee, comprising officials of the PMU, representatives of the NGOs and Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs), to hear the grievances of the PAHs at the first instance
High Level Grievance Redressal Committee, comprising the officials of the MMRDA and the representatives of the NGOs, to hear and decide appeals of the aggrieved Slum dwellers/ PAHs
A high level Independent Monitoring Panel has been constituted to supervise the overall implementation process

31. Post Resettlement Activities
Formation of Co. Op. Housing Soc. including their PAH members and transfer of legal tenure of the land in the names of the societies
Payment of all kind of monetary compensations & transfer of maintenance charges
Providing community facilities, to the left over population that are lost in the process of resettlement

32. Management Inofrmation System (MIS)
In order to monitor the rehab process, MIS has been established by MMRDA
The MIS is prepared based on the inputs from the field level operations to generate quarterly progress reports

33. Innovation in Implementation
The mammoth task of rehabilitation and resettlement is being implemented with the following fast and quick actions:
Establishment of SRA cell in MMRDA
Motivating the developers to offer tenements under SRA scheme
Invitation of proposals through public notification for construction of tenements under SRA
Timely approvals after statutory scrutiny to the proposals of the developers and grant of TDR benefits

34. Innovation in Implementation – contd.
Supervision to ensure design standard, quality construction through PMCs ensuring development of off-site infrastructure utilizing engineering capabilities of MMRDA
Involvement of NGOs to carry out the BSES, preparation of RIP, CEMP and EA etc.
Co-ordination with government agencies like revenue department and collector encroachments to finalise eligibility and entitlements
Shifting of families through NGOs involvement under the supervision of trained and qualified team of MMRDA
Taking over of cleared lands and providing security to prevent re-encroachments

35. Impact Assessment
The execution of MUTP, MUIP and resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected/slum dwellers would have several spin off benefits
The cost of the R&R if entirely procured through public procurement process, purely on financial terms would cost Rs Cr.
The process through which these tenements were procured has put a very limited burden on government and therefore saved the public funds at large
This project not only helped to relieve Mumbai of it’s transportation problems but also give the much awaited impetus to the stagnant growth of Mumbai’s economy
The transport infrastructure project are expected to yield remarkable benefits to the city in terms of improved productivity, saving in fuel and travel time, reduction in pollution and overall growth of the city
