The earliest reference to Mandu is available in the Sanskrit inscription of 555 AD, which tells
that Mandu was a fortified city even in 6th century BC.Mandu, due to its strategic position and
natural defences, was an important place with a rich and varied history. It was an important
military outpost and its military past can be gauged by the circuit of the battlemented wall,
which is nearly 37 km (23 mi) and is punctuated by 12 gateways.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MANDAV

The project for preparation of City Development Plan (CDP) for Mandav is an initiative by Urban
Administration and Development Department (UADD), Government of MP, to initiate inclusive, planned and
environmentally sustainable growth in small towns of the State.
Mandav, also known as Mandu, is a historic walled town spread over 24.87 square kilometers, located to the
North of River Narmada and West of NH3, in south eastern part of Dhar District. It is situated atop a plateau,
part of the Central Vindhyachal hilly region. Lying 600 metres above mean sea level, the town has a
picturesque location and indigenous species of flora such as Khurasani Imli, for which it is widely known.
The town was converted to an NP in 1997, though merging of surrounding villages with the village Mandav.
The current municipal boundary converges with the limits of the historic town, defined by fortification walls.
th
The town finds reference as a hill fort form the 6 century AD, known as Mandapadurg and Mandhavgarh. In
the subsequent centuries, Mandav had association with Gurjara Pratiharas of Kanauj, Parmaras, Imperial &
Malwa Sultanate, Mughals & Marathas. The town still retains parts of the outer and inner fortification walls
and numerous historical monuments. Of the existing monuments, 60 are centrally protected by the
Archaeological Survey of India while 12 are under the State Department of Archaeology. The Group of
Monuments at Mandu is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and the town is a significant tourist
destination for MP, being part of tourism circuit-Ujjain, Indore, Maheshwar and Omkareshwar.
The population density of Mandav is quite low at 2.53 ppha, as nearly 50% of the population is living in villages
scattered over forest land. With 81.6% ST population, the town has the resource of indigenous tribal
knowledge systems, with respect to flora including medicinal plants, arts and crafts. The majority of population
is dependent on agriculture, despite the conversion to NP and tourism forms the other source of income.
Some significant issues faced by the population are poor social and physical infrastructure facilities, poverty
due to poor access to education and employability or entrepreneurship and lack of industrial base.

Projects
Some of the key projects emphasized by the Citizens to be taken up in Phase 1 are:
Preparation of Heritage Resource Management Plan and Mandav Heritage Resource management
Authority, above and below ground surveys of heritage resources, creation of database on the
mapping of the resources, ownership and services, conservation and adaptive reuse and
interpretation of the protected and unprotected resources, leading to nomination as world heritage
site.
2013

Improved access at city and regional level by construction of roads and provision of tourist bus service
and IPTs, enabling movement of local population and tourists to and within the city with better
linkage to existing and potential visitor attractions and settlements.
Extending the stay of the tourists in keeping with carrying capacity, development of tourist
infrastructure that benefits the local population, promotion of livelihood opportunities based on local
culture, resources and knowledge systems.
Setting up of research and dissemination centre for cultural heritage resources including knowledge
systems and traditional arts and crafts.
Afforestation, conservation of water bodies, conservation and recharge of catchment areas, creation
of more ponds, provision of water supply to peripheral areas.
Insitu upgradation of houses in peripheral settlements and provision of basic services to these areas.
Decentralised solid waste and waste water management.
Vocational training to promote skill development and setting up of HHIs and SSIs, promotion of
agriculture and improved market access for local goods.
The cost of all projects is estimated at 366.49 Cr including projects on Economic base, Tourism and Social
Infrastructure (382.65 Cr including projects on social infrastructure and urban governance; and excluding
projects on economic base). For this, the NP would have to generate an amount of 19.73 Cr in first 5 years.
Since the NP can only generate around 9 or 10 Cr, the remaining amount is proposed to be given by State
Government as loan or grant to the ULB.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Introduction
Under the Madhya Pradesh Government initiative of Preparation of City Development Plan for various Cities
of Madhya Pradesh, IDFC was awarded the project for Preparation of City Development Plan for Mandav in
October, 2011 by the Urban Administration and Development Department of Government of Madhya Pradesh.
Aim of CDP
The City Development plans are dedicated to the goal of creating cities which are economically productive,
efficient, equitable and responsive. The City Development Plan will focus on the comprehensive development
of the city through the development of economic and social infrastructure, upliftment of quality of life for
urban poor, strengthening the Municipal bodies and their financing mechanisms, enhanced accountability and
transparency; and elimination of legal and other bottlenecks which have impacted the land and housing
market in the city. The City Development Plan will set the platform to usher the city towards urban sector
reforms which will initiate direct investment in the city infrastructure.
1.2 Scope of Work

The plan preparation will include the following stages:
1) Analysis of the existing situation
An analysis of the existing situation of the city shall be taken up to assess where the city is. This would be
based on reconnaissance survey, secondary data collection, household surveys, public consultations and
individual stakeholder consultations. The analysis shall focus on the following sectors:
Demography
Economic base
Financial profile of the Municipality
Infrastructure
Water supply
Sewerage
Solid waste management
Drainage
Traffic and Transportation
Street lighting
Physical and environmental aspects of the city
Urban poor
Housing
Heritage and Environment
Institutions related to service delivery in the city
Broad Land Use
2013
The categories under Inadmissible components of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM) shall also be included. Based on the data collection and surveys, an analysis of the present status of
the city shall be done to identify the potential areas for development and the bottlenecks. Based on the
understanding of the evolution and functioning of the city, an analysis to understand the Citys Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) shall be undertaken to identify the issues of concern and the
potential sectors for the citys development.
2) Development of a vision for the city
The City Development Plan would aim at developing a vision for the citys future based on consultations with
the citizens representatives. A city vision would be formulated based on an assessment of the existing
situation to determine where the city is and where it wants to go. Vision for the city shall be developed
based on assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the city and identification of the sectors where the city
has maximum potential for growth. This vision would bank upon the cities competitive advantages in the
local, regional and national context while considering the preferences of the citys residents.
A vision for the future development of the city over the next 25 years, which is based on consensus amongst
the citizens, shall be identified and all the future objectives, strategies and targets shall have to be aligned with
this vision. The outcomes and milestones for the vision would be defined within a time frame.
3) Sectoral goals and Strategies
In line with the vision formulated for the development of the city, the prime sectors would be identified which
need to be focused on in order to materialize the vision for the city. This would be done in consultation with
the citizens representatives. After identifying the priority sectors, a strategy for the development of each
sector shall be formulated in consultation with the citizens and based on this, the sectoral goal and targets
shall be defined. Mandatory and Optional reforms in governance, as listed under JNNURM, shall also be
proposed.
4) Prioritization of strategies and evaluation of alternate strategies
The Sectoral strategies and goals shall be prioritized and selected based on the relevance to the Vision and to
the upliftment of urban poor. A well defined prioritization strategy shall be formulated for selection of
strategies.
5) Identification and Prioritization of Projects
Based on stakeholder consultations, relevance to the vision and maximum impact, a set of projects shall be
identified which need to be implemented in order to attain the Vision. These projects shall be sectoral and
shall be prioritized based on strategic planning. A broad Master Plan for the city would also be prepared to
direct future growth of the city. This will also facilitate in aligning the future growth of the priority sectors with
the citys spatial framework.
2013
6) Preparation of City Investment Plan

A City investment plan shall be made to outline the flow of investments required for attainment of the City
Vision in a phased manner and the possible sources of funding for the same. The sources of funding available
at National, State and ULB level shall be analyzed to formulate a mechanism for financing the projects related
to the city vision through better management and utilization of the existing financial resources as well as
creating opportunities for fresh flow of funds.
7) Finalization of City Development Plan
Based on the above steps, the Draft City Development Plan shall be put in the public domain to get opinion of
the Stakeholders on the same. Based on these comments, a Final City Development Plan shall be presented to
the Stakeholders through a workshop. The aim of this workshop shall be to develop endorsement for the City
Development Plan and to inculcate a sense of ownership amongst the citizens. The final City Development Plan
shall then be submitted.

Progress so far
The contract for the Project was signed in the third week of October and the Project team conducted a
reconnaissance survey of the city in the second week of November and initiated consultations with the Nodal
Officer, data collection and surveys.
2013
In order to ensure higher level of participations by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), a District level Meeting
th
under the Chairmanship of Collector, Dhar was conducted on 15 November, 2011 where the CMOs of 8
towns of Dhar district, including Mandav, were briefed on the process and outcomes of the City Development
Plan (CDP). Details of the meeting are given in Annexure.
The process of consultations and data collection for Mandav started with meetings with the CMO and other
ULB Officials. Collection of primary data available with the ULBs was initiated with the distribution of the list of
data identified in the toolkit. The project team contacted the ULBs in each city and collected the data that was
readily available, with a request for additional data required. Apart from the ULB, data collection from other
related departments at town and district level like Forest Department, DUDA, TCPD, etc. was also initiated. A
major thrust of the field-based research was to map the existing spatial and land use structure of the city and
to understand the socio-economic condition of the citizens.
Kick off Workshop and Inception Report
th
The kick off workshop for Mandav City Development Plan was conducted on 25 November, 2011 under the
Chairmanship of CMO, Mandav. The workshop was attended by NP Officials, Citizen representatives, Farmer
representatives, tribals, Journalists, traders, among others. The meeting began with a presentation by the IDFC
team introducing the scope, process and coverage of the City Development Plan. This was followed by a
briefing of the onsite observations made by the team. After the objectives, goals and process of CDP
preparation were explained to the attendees, the citizens were invited to give their views on the key issues,
status of infrastructure provision, condition of urban poor, growth potentials and other aspects of the city. The
inception report was submitted in November, 2011.
Second Stakeholder Workshop
Another trip of the town was conducted in January, 2012 for data collection and discussions with key officials
rd
and citizens. The second stakeholder workshop for City Development Plan, Mandav was held on 3 February,

The minutes of the meetings and list of participants are attached as Annexure.
Third Stakeholder Workshop
th
The third stakeholder workshop was held on 24 September, 2012 and the CDP was approved by the Parishad
in 2013.
2013
Key points raised by Stakeholders during consultations

The key points raised by various stakeholders during the stakeholder consultations were:
The planning for Mandav city has usually been done in a sect oral manner which focuses more on the
tourism and heritage aspects and pays little or no attention to the rural wards and agricultural areas
outside the core city
The villages that have been included in the Municipal boundary have still not been provided with basic
services but at the same time, due to inclusion in Municipal boundary, these villages cannot access the
facilities provided by the Gram Panchayat
The economic benefits of tourism need to be extended to the villagers
The Southern point of Mandav, which is not even provided with a proper access road; has the potential
to be connected to the NH3. This alternate entrance to Mandav will not only ease the traffic access to
the town but will also provide more livelihood opportunities to villagers
The Temria pond, Sagar talab and other ponds in the town need to be desilted, the present capacity of the
ponds has been reduced due to siltation
Mandav has the potential to the included in the World Heritage Site listing
Presently, the tourist traffic to Mandav is limited largely to 3 monsoon months. The tourists stay in
neighbouring towns and visit Mandav for a few hours. Most tourists only visit a few monuments in the
core area. Hence, there is a need to extend the tourist stay in Mandav by introducing more tourist
activities like cultural events at night
Mandav needs to be provided with an alternate source of water supply as Sagar Talab dries out due to
siltation and water usage for irrigation
The access road to Dharampuri needs to be improved
More employment generation and educational infrastructure needs to be undertaken for the tribal
population
The traditional trees of Mandav need to be restored as these are also a means of livelihood for the tribal
population. Deforestation along the slopes of the plateau has led to extensive erosion and siltation of
water bodies in the valley.
Activities like sound and light show and cultural events need to be introduced in Mandav to attract
tourists to spend more time in the town.
A walkway along the valley can be developed connecting NP guest house to Songarh fort. This would offer
the tourists with a beautiful view of the valley.
2013
CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION TO THE TOWN

2.1 Introduction to the Town
Figure 2.1: Location of Mandav in the State and the District Dhar. Source: Census of India
The town of Mandav is located in Dhar District of Madhya Pradesh. Located strategically on a plateau,
historically the town was a military stronghold in the form of a hill fort. Parts of the fortification are still intact
and define the town boundary. It is an important place from tourist, archaeological and historical points of
view, with a number of monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and some more
under the State Department of Archaeology. Enclosed by forest areas that extend into the town boundary,
Mandav is dominated by tribal population and the economy is based on tourism and agriculture.
2.2 Historical Importance

Mandav is a historically and architecturally significant fort complex set on a hill top. The strategic location was
recognized from the ancient period as a stronghold. The famous ruler Vakpati Munja from the Parmara
th
th
dynasty who ruled over Malwa from the 9 13 century, excavated the Munja Sagar at Mandav, also known
as Mandhavgarh and Mandu.
In the year 1305, A.D. the whole of Malwa passed into the hands of Al-ud-din Khalji when Dhar and Mandu
were also captured. Dhar continued to be under Delhi Sultans until the reign of Muhammed II. At that time,
Dilawar Khan Ghuri was the Governor of Malwa. In 1401 A.D. Dilawar Khan Ghuri, Governor of Malwa under
the imperial Sultanate assumed royalty and established an independent Kingdom of Malwa, with his capital at
Dhar. His son and successor, Hoshang Shah moved the capital to Mandu. Hoshang Shah died in 1435 A.D. and
was entombed in the splendid mausoleum which is still existing at Mandu. On Hoshang's death his son, Ghazni
Khan, succeeded him. He ordered his capital Mandu to be called "Shadiabad (the City of Joy). In 1436 AD,
Malwa came under Khalji Sultans who continued to rule Malwa till 1531 A.D. Later, Malwa was captured by
Sher Shah and was placed under the charge of Shujat Khan. Shujat Khan was succeeded by his son Baz
Bahadur. Mandu and its environs reverberated with the stories of romance of Rupmati and Baz Bahadur.
2013
When Baz Bahadur was defeated and put to fight by the Mughal army, his beloved Rupmati took poison and
put an end to her life to escape dishonour.
In the administrative organization of Akbar, Dhar was the Chief town of a Mahal in Mandu Sarkar of the Subah
of Malwa. Akbar stayed at Dhar for seven days, while directing the invasion of Deccan. He also visited Mandu a
number of times. Mandu was also a favourite resort of Emperor Jahangir, who stayed here for over six months
in 1616 A.D. In his memoirs, Jahangir paid glowing tributes to the pleasant climate and pretty scenery at
Mandu. Noorjahan shot four tigers with six bullets, from the back of an elephant, near Mandu.
Along with these historical associations and political significance, the monuments at Mandav are architectural
landmarks and reflect a unique vocabulary of Islamic architecture. The architectural style of these forms an
important link in the development of the Indo Islamic architecture in the country in the medieval period.
At present, Mandav is one amongst the significant tourist destinations of Madhya Pradesh and the most
important one in the Dhar District. At the State level, there are four main tourist circuits, of which Mandu is on
the eastern most one that includes Ujjain, Indore, Maheshwar and Omkareshwar. There is potential to expand
the circuit to include destinations of cultural significance and eco-tourism as a complete package or on
thematic basis to more areas around Mandav such as Dharampuri and Burhanpur to the South, Dhar and
Mohankheda Tirth (near Rajgarh) to the North and North west, Bagh Caves and the Katthiwada region in
Alirajpur to the West.
Historically, the hill fort was connected to Dhar, being the military stronghold of the seat of power in Dhar.
Mandav has a number of places of tourist interest that includes areas of architectural significance, such as
Jahaz Mahal, Hindola Mahal, Tomb of Hoshang Shah, Palaces of Rani Rupmati and Baz Bahadur, Nilkanth
Palace, water tanks and stepwells; archaeological significance and those of environmental and religious
tourism. It has potential to be developed as an ecotourism and adventure sport tourist destination.

Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. The district is situated in the south western part of Madhya
o.
Pradesh and lies between 22 01 and 23 .09 North latitudes and 74 29 and 75 42 East longitudes. District
Dhar is surrounded by tribal population dominated Jhabua and Alirajpur districts to the west. Ratlam district
lies to the north of the district, Ujjain to north east, Indore to east, Khargone to south east and Barwani district
its south.
The NH 59/SH22 cuts through the middle of the district while NH 3 cuts through its south east corner. Mandav
is located 300 kms from the state capital Bhopal, 35 kms from the district headquarter Dhar and approx 85
kms from Indore. Rail and air connectivity to Mandav is through Indore. Its geographical coordinates are
22207 N -752457 E.

2.5 Physiography and Landform (Census, 2001; Analytical note and District Resource Maps)
The Dhar District extends over three
physiographic divisions- the Malwa
Plateau
in
the
north,
Central
Vindhyachal hilly region and Southern

Narmada Valley, however, the valley is
again closed up by the hills in the south
western part.
Topography and natural settings

The north eastern part of the District is
the highest with an elevation of 600750 mts above Mean Sea Level (MSL),
while
the
central
part
has
Figure 2.3: Relief and Slope of Mandav
the
maximum slope ranging from 20-80 mts/km. This is primarily because the ridge of the Vindhyas passes through
this part of the district. The southern part of the District is the lowest, being in the basin of River Narmada.
Mandav lies in the belt having a general elevation of 300-450 metres above MSL and a slope of 10-20 mts/km.
Mandav is a part of the Vindhyachal region. The Central hilly region comprises ENE-WSW trending ridges which
have steep slopes and scarp faces on the southern side. The highest elevation in the district i.e. 751 meters
above mean sea level is located in this region. A part of the Vindhyachal Range extends in the Dhar District in a
crescentic belt generally from south-east to north-west. A strip of hilly area represents the range 5 to 20
kilometres in width. It is about 5 km. wide near village Dhani, the south-eastern boundary near Mograbav in
the centre. It is about 10 km further widening to 20 km west of Tanda. To the west of Bagh and Kukshi, the
Range stands disconnected by the valley of the Mahi and Hatni. It restarts along the Narmada in the southwest. The northern spur (peak 543.76 metres) forms the boundary between the Sardarpur tehsil and Jhabua
district. It extends from the peak of Gomanpura (556.26 metres) to Bajrangarh in Jhabua. Another spur
extends towards Jhabua in the north-west. The great Vindhyachal range extends generally from west to east
and scarps at most of its length towards the south. In Dhar also the southward scarps are well marked the wall
rising from 400 to 600 metres. However, in the western part their faces have been eroded back into long and
deep rugged valleys of the tributary hills of the Narmada. In fact the strong currents of the small streams on
the steep southern side have cut back at their heads. The numerous streams of the Narmada valley find their
sources on the Malwa plateau. The main line of the highest peaks has been left to the south of their present
courses.
In the eastern and central parts of the Vindhyachal in Dhar the main hill range is continuous but in the west
deep channels of the rivulets dissect it. The range slopes towards the north and gradually meets the Malwa
13
2013
plateau. Numerous spurs also extend over the Malwa plateau in the north. But in the western half in the
district one may also find a series of denuded ridges alternating with the parallel stream-channels and running
for some kilometers from north to south. The phenomenon leads the marked excel of the Range into a local
confusion, unless one tries to trace the line of the main peaks. The highest peak of the district Mograba
(751.03 meters) lies in the central part Nikanth (702.26 meters) lies further east and Shikarpura hill raises up to
698.91 meters. The famous historical fort of Mandugarh towers (the flat topped) about 600 meters, above the
mean sea level.
Mandav is situated at the top of an offshoot of the Vindhyan Range, rising 2,079 feet above the sea level and
separated from the main plateau of Malwa by a deep ravine, which is forested with magnificent trees. The
gorge encircles the Mandu hill on three sides and emerges into the Nimar plain that lies 1200 feet below the
fort on the south. The top of the hill is almost flat, except a few knolls and extends 4.5 to 6 kms from north to
south and 6 to 7.5 kms from east to west. The table land is interspersed by many lakes and pools.
Drainage
The Central hilly region forms water divide between the Northward flowing rivers of Mahi and Chambal
drainage and the southward flowing tributaries of the Narmada River including Baghain, Uri, Man and Karam
rivers. The drainage pattern in the northern part is sub-dendritic to sub parallel, whereas it is dendritic with
local sub parallel pattern in the southern part.
The southern part of the district lies in the catchment area of the Narmada, which forms the southern
boundary. Chambal, Mahi and Bagh rivers flowing northerly drain the northern Malwa plateau region. The
Chambal and its tributaries drain the north eastern part; it forms the catchment area of the Ganga. The north
western part drains into the Mahi. The water dividing line between the Narmada and the Chambal and the
Mahi are separated by the off shoot range, which runs along the Sardarpur Jhabua boundary. Water from
Mandav drains into the Karam River, which is a tributary of the Narmada River.
The Narmada River flows along the southern boundary of the district in a different valley from east to west
o
with a southern inclination along a mega lineament. It rises from the Amarkantak plateau (22 40) of the
o
Satpura range in Shahdol district. Flowing to the west it touches the district at Lasangaon (75 31 East) at the
confluence with the Karam. It forms the southern boundary of the district along with that of the West Nimar
for about 107 kilometres. It receives Boad, Dob, Mahali and Crol on its left while Kamar, Man and Bagh join its
right bank.

Geology
Dhar district consists of units of
extrusive origin, denudational and
fluvial origins. As seen in figure 2.5,
Mandav
lies
in
denudational
plateau with a denudational slope to

its south characterised by a steep
escarpment.
According to District
Resource Map, a minor lineament

runs close to the Mandav region in
the North, thereby increasing the
recharge potential of the foothills in
Mandav
this region.
Figure 2.4: Geology of Mandav
In terms of lithology, Mandav is constituted by Indore Formation (Compound pahoehoe and Aa flows with
mega-porphyritic flow at the top 6 flows) and Kankaria-Pirukheri Formation (simple porphyritic flows with
mega-porphyritic flow at the top 7 flows) that come under the Deccan Trap (Malwa Group) group with
respect to strategraphic status (see figure 2.5). Iron-ore was reported to be found in Nimanpur itself but was
not worked. Other minerals found in the region are sandstone, red and yellow ochres, potters, clay and lime.
The iron-ore deposits in the district are found in irregular masses of breccias and important occurrence are at
Bagh in Kukshi Tehsil, but these deposits are not supposed to be large enough to make their exploitation
economical.

valley into rugged and broken hills and valley with water sources and soil that is not too rich. The water
potential of the Mandav region is high in the foothills but owing to the location of town on top of a plateau
and underlying basalt rocks, the groundwater potential around the town is limited. According to District
Resource Map, the depth to water table in and around Mandav is between 6 to 9m.

2013
Climate
The district and the town enjoy a pleasant climate. It is generally dry except in the monsoon season. The year
may be divided into four seasons. The hot season from March to about the middle of June is followed by the
monsoon season lasting up to end of September. October and November may be termed the post-monsoon
season. The period from December to February is the cold season. There is no meteorological observatory in
the district. After February there is steady increase in temperatures. May is the hottest month with the mean
O
daily maximum at about 40 C. The days are very hot during the summer with the maximum temperature on
0
individual days sometimes rising up to about 44 C or 45 C. With the onset of the south-west monsoon by the
second week of June there is appreciable drop in temperature and the weather is cool and pleasant. In
September, day temperature rises and in October, it reaches a secondary maximum. After October, day and
night temperature decrease rapidly, January is generally the coldest month with the mean daily maximum at
O
about 27 C and the mean daily minimum at about 10 C. Cold waves affect the district in the area of passing
western disturbances across northern India and the minimum temperature may drop down occasionally to
o
about the freezing point of water. The average maximum temperature of Mandav is 44.5 C, average minimum
o
temperature as 18 C.
Figure 2.8: Climatic
Conditions Map,
District Planning SeriesDhar District, MP,
Survey of India
The average annual rainfall in the district is 833.1 mm. The southern and south eastern part of the district gets
less rainfall than elsewhere but in the southern parts in the region of Mandav the rainfall is higher. Over the
last five years, the rainfall has been lesser than usual, with an average rainfall of 750 mm (Source: NP,
Mandav), due to which there has been a scarcity of water.
Winds are generally light in the post-monsoon and winter seasons and strengthen in the summer and
monsoon seasons. Winds blow mostly from direction between southwest and north-west during the monsoon
18
2013
months. In the post- monsoon and winter seasons the winds are mainly north-eastern or eastern. By March
winds from directions between south-west and north-west appear and by April these become predominant
and continue in the rest of summer and the monsoon season.
Amongst the districts of

MP, Dhar is proven as
having
potential
for
generation of wind energy

with a capacity of 50 MW.

2.6 Municipal Area and Planning Area

Presently, the NP area is approximately 42.2 sqkm (spread over 15 wards) which is much higher than other
NPs. This is because the NP boundary was delineated around 1997 to include the surrounding villages (in order
to reach the minimum population needed to be declared as a NP. Since, the town area itself did not have the
required population, the peripheral villages were included in the NP). These villages now cannot avail any of
the Gram Panchayat (GP) facilities and are not provided any facilities/services by the NP. During the Kick off
workshop, the villagers expressed a willingness to be included in the GP boundary again. The region was
earlier a GP, was then declared a SADA area (Special Area Development Authority) and was then declared a
NP. Ward no. 1 to 5 are predominantly urban, whereas, ward 6 to 15 are predominantly rural in character.
The main town is confined to a few houses along the central spine (spread over an area of approx. 5 sq kms),
which would account for a population of 3679. The remaining population is scattered in farmlands and forests
which spread across the NP boundary. This population comprises of tribals who live in hutments and practice
agriculture.
Discrepancies in NP area
According to NP documents, the NP area is approximately 42.2 sqkm. But when the Municipal boundary was
overlaid on satellite imagery, the Municipal area comes out to be 24.87sqkm.
A Master Plan for the town was prepared for the target year 2011. But this Master Plan has not been yet.
According to the Master Plan, the Investment area for the town comes out to be 25.74 sqkm. According to
superimposition on satellite imagery, the investment area comes out to be the same (25.74 sqkm).

Note: The wards highlighted in blue are predominantly urban in character; other wards are predominantly rural
in character.
The ward wise density was calculated on the basis of the actual areas attained on the basis of satellite imagery.
As can be seen from the table above, the ward wise density for Mandav is very low. The highest density is in
Ward 1 (11ppha). It can also be seen that except for Ward 9 and 14, the density of wards with urban character
is marginally higher than that of wards with largely rural character. The ward wise distribution of population in
2011 reflects that Jahaz Mahal Ward and Neelkath Ward have the highest population; whereas Dariya Khan
Mahal had the least population.

In 2001, 21.2% of the total population of Mandav were children aged 0 to 6. The sex ratio for this section was
939 and higher than 901, the district figure for the same. Table 3.6 shows that the sex ratio for 0-6 age group
has improved from 939 females per 1000 males to 956 females per 1000 males over the last decade.
Amongst all the towns of the District, Mandav has the lowest proportion of Scheduled Castes (2.1%) and
highest proportion of Scheduled Tribes (81.6%) as per the 2001 Census. The table also indicates that the
proportion of schedule caste for Mandav is much less than the district figure, but this reverses for the schedule
tribe percentage which is higher for the town in comparison to the district proportion. The sex ratio for the
town for schedule castes is lower than the district figure, but sex ratio of scheduled tribes is much higher that
the district figure.

The ward wise population distribution across casts reflects that the entire population of 9 out of the 15 wards
comprises of scheduled tribes. The Ram Mandir Ward has a high concentration of scheduled caste population.
5 wards have people from backward classes residing, while only one ward Gadashah Ward has general
population.
3.5 Issues
The high tribal population of the town needs to be seen as an asset and the impact of tourism growth on
the people is an important factor to be assessed.
Being under NP jurisdiction since 1997, the villages now cannot avail any of the Gram Panchayat (GP)
facilities and are not provided any facilities/services by the NP. The villagers expressed a willingness to be
included in the GP boundary again.
The HH size in the town is nearly 6. Though it has gone down over the last decade, it is still above average.
The density of the town is extremely low.

The sex ratio for Mandav was 955 in 2001 which is better than the State average of 920 and National average
of 933 for India for the same decade. The sex ratio of Mandav has further improved to 979 as per Preliminary
Census Estimates of 2011. The corresponding value for MP is 930 and for India is 940 for 2011. This reflects
that the sex ratio of Mandav is much higher than the State and national levels. A key reason for this is that
since there are no employment opportunities in the town, the male population migrates to neighbouring
towns in search of work. Another reason for this could be the high status given to females in tribal culture.

The ward wise analysis of distribution of male-female population reflects that Ward No. 1, 3, 4 and 7 have sex
ratios more than 1000. Hence, these wards would need more women centric capacity building and livelihood
generation (House hold industry based).

As per the Census 2001 data, Mandav had the lowest literacy in the District. The literacy rates have improved
slightly to 44.75% over the last decade. The values from 2001 and 2011 reflect that the gap in male and female
literacy rate has reduced over the last decade. The increase in female literacy rate over the last decade is
significant. The literacy rate of India is at 74.04% and that of the state of Madhya Pradesh is 70.6% according
to 2011 Census data. The literacy rate of Mandav (44.75%) is extremely low compared to both the State and
national values.
4.3 Average Household Size

Number of households in Mandav as per the Preliminary Census estimates for 2011 are 1821. For a population
of 10,659, the HH size comes out to be is 5.85 (@1821 HHs for 10,659 persons). The HH size was 6.1 according
to 2001 (@1408 HHs for 8,544 persons) reflecting a trend of slight reduction in HH size over the decade.
4.4 Workforce Participation

The Work Participation rate for Mandav as per Census 2001 comes out to be 41.5%. Total Workers in Mandav
as per 2001 Census are 3,544 (41.5%) of which 2,068 (47.3%) are males and 1,476 (35.4%) are females. The
main workers are 2801 (32.8%) whereas marginal workers are 743 (8.7%). This indicates the high percentage
of unemployment in the town but the WPR rates are still better than other comparable towns. This can be
attributed to the agricultural and tourism base of the town.

The 2001 Census data reflects that Mandav had the highest proportion of cultivators (60

Industrial Base
Currently, Mandav does not have any industrial base. The only industry that contributes to the economy of the
modity manufactured in
town is the Tourism industry. As per the Census 2001 data, the most important comm
t

Mandav was Paper Board which waas also an important commodity exported out of the town.
factories are not operational any more.
m
Around 40 years ago, the town had a vibrantt handloom trade with
several tribal workers involved in making
m
cotton bed sheets, towels, etc. for supply to hospitals and most of
the tribals were involved in this handloom
h
trade. But there are hardly any artisans now.
n
Some Bagh print
artisans were also there but now only a few remain. Training programme in stitching was conducted a few
years ago but since the villagers do not have access to raw material, this could not be taaken up as a SSI as cost
cannot be recovered due to poor transportation facilities. Earlier tribals were also involved in Griha udyog
f
and cotton thread work. Details related to tourrism as an industry are
related to strengthening of cotton fibres
given in the Chapter on Heritage an
nd Conservation.
26
2013
Mandi
The town does not have a Mandi and is dependent on towns like Dhar and Dhamnod (35 kms away) for day to
day supplies. Since the town is located at a height, the truck drivers ask for triple the normal fare for delivery
of goods to Mandav. Hence, the town needs to be provided with an Up Mandi. Since Mandav is known in the
region for non grain crops, an Up Mandi for non grain items can be set up.
Agriculture
The tribals living in Mandav (81.6% tribal population in 2001) are primarily farmers. The 2001 Census reflects
that Wheat and soyabean were produced in significant quantities in Mandav. These continue to be produced
and exported out of Mandav. Other crops cultivated here are chana and cotton. Wheat, gram and peas are
produced in the Rabi season (winter harvest) and corn, soyabean, moong and chholey are produced in the
Kharif season (autumn harvest). The soil is fertile black cotton soil but due to soil erosion, the depth of soil is
low (2-3 feet). Drip and sprinkler irrigation were tried in the region but are not suitable for the main crops. A
variety of hybrid corn was also introduced a few years back. Agricultural loans are required for the farmers. In
general, the agricultural produce in the region is low and the population is dependent on the plains for their
basic needs. Khirni, Sitaphal and other such crops which are economically lucrative for the farmers are
seasonal and can only be grown once a year.
The crops for which Mandav is famous in the region include Mhau, Gond, Khirni (fruit), Khurasani Imli, Sitaphal
(Custard Apple) and Kheera Kakdi. Custard apple and long gourd (kakri) are produced in October-November.
These crops fetch the farmers a good price and are traded as far as Indore, Jaipur and Baroda. Dhavra gond
(tree) grown in the NP area fetches upto Rs. 500/kg and is in good demand but since the number of such trees
in on a decline, an intervention to revive the same is needed. Historically, the mangoes of Mandav were
acclaimed for their taste and flavour. Orchards of taimbru, mango, guava, amla and khirni trees may be
developed that would also help the economy.
Tribals grow fruits and vegetables including jadi bootis (herbs), salam misri, lal churan and dhuli musli which
fetch them good prices and have a good demand but due to poor condition of farmers, these crops are on a
decline. Incentives are needed to revive these crops. A number of the herbs have medicinal value such as
kuradia that is used for treating wounds and leaves of bekul that are a remedy for treating cough and cold.
There are individuals in the tribal community who have the knowledge system of how to use these. Hence, the
local herbs can form a base for small scale industry. Drip irrigation can be used for enhancing the cultivation of
herbs in the region.
Mahua is a significant produce of the town. It is a seasonal forest produce that sheds its corollas during MarchApril. Though it is classified as a forest produce, most of the production comes from non-forest land in the
agricultural fields and uplands. It is a food item for the forest dwelling population and is also used for brewing
alcohol. Each household is permitted to manufacture a maximum of 5 litres of the liquor that is also known as
27
2013
Mahua. There are many other uses of Mahua products, such as Mahua seed cake is used in manufacturing
soap. Mahua seed is also used as source of edible oil in certain parts of Chhattisgarh. The flowers and seeds
from the tree have economic value in the form of sales proceeds. Liquor is made out of the flowers and soap
out of the seeds of Mahua. At the regional levels, Ranchi is the most important market for Mahua flowers.
International trading companies such as Messrs Ferrero Trading of Luxemburg, Italy purchase Mahua flowers
in bulk from MP and Chhattisgarh through a Raipur based trading company. Messrs Ferrero Trading Company
produces mainly chocolates and other confectionary with consumers in several countries and has established
their first unit in Asia at Baramati, Maharashtra. The company is considering setting up a unit in MP.
Drying corn on the roofs
Animal husbandry as a commercial prospect
Livestock and animal rearing

Livestock ownership in the town is prominent, especially
in the peripheral wards and villages. Animal rearing is a
traditional occupation with the slum dwellers and needs
to be revived. Since the villagers are primarily involved in
agriculture, ownership of cattle and poultry is common.
SSIs related to animal rearing can hence, be set up in the
town. It was also noticed that many shepherds from
Rajasthan migrate to MP, including Mandav with their
livestock due to scarcity of grazing land in Rajasthan.
4.6 Trade and Commerce

The export of agricultural produce constitutes the commercial activity in the town. The town also has a weekly
haat which is set up every Saturday where people from neighbouring areas come to the town for the haat. The
town people and the villagers are also primarily dependent on this haat for their daily needs. The shops in the
town provide for basic daily utilities (100 shops), eateries (20) and bicycles on rent. There are about 50 mobile
vendors selling fruits, vegetables, tea etc. Most of the city population comprises of people who work in
unorganized sectors like hawkers, labourers etc.

Commercial activities about the town
4.7 Labour
In the Dhar Tehsil, of the 29% working population that is in to agricultural labour, 93% are in the rural areas
while about 7% are in the urban areas, as per the 2001 Census. In comparison, the proportion of agricultural
labour in Mandav was at 19% of the towns working population. Presently, about 2000 people are estimated to
be working as agricultural labour. People go from Mandav to Indore, Ujjain, Dhamnod, Dharampuri and Dhar
for trade or to work as agricultural labour during cropping season.
4.8 Tourism
Tourism is the biggest industry in the town and a significant part of the main town population is dependent on
tourism for livelihood. Three groups of monuments under the Archaeological Survey of India are ticketed. The
revenue from the tickets goes directly to ASI. The only earning that the NP gets from tourism is revenue from a
parking operated by NP (@10 lakh/annum) and 2 low cost rest houses which are run by the NP.
Most of the tourists coming to Mandav dont spend more than 3 or 4 hours in the town. Maximum tourist
traffic to the town is in August. During peak season, all the accommodation in the town is full and tourists stay
in the nearby towns of Dhar or Dhamnod and visit Mandav for a few hours. People visiting Mandav visit the
monuments in core city and the front part of the monument and return. They should be encouraged to
explore more monuments in and around the city. This would increase the time tourists spend in Mandav and
would help increase the towns earnings from tourism. Details such as visitor numbers, trends, issues and
potentials for developing tourism in the town are discussed under Chapter 16.
Potential industries
There are no agro based industries in the town. There is potential for setting up small scale industries and
household industries such as manufacturing of incense sticks, candles, jute products, bamboo based products
such as baskets, lac udyog, wooden or earthen sculpture and stitching. Since the sex ratio in the town is good,
it is important that the women are involved in these activities. Bee farming also has potential in the town. The
town has a high potential for Pisciculture due to the presence of numerous ponds and traditional fishermen
who used to survive off fishing in these ponds. But due to desiltation, the ponds dry fast and the fishing period
has reduced to 2 months a year. The cattle and chicken population in the town is relatively high and hence, a
29
2013
dairy and poultry farms can be set up in the town. Animal rearing also needs to be revived in the region. The
traditional handloom work in Mandav needs to be revived as a HH industry, especially for women. But since
the tribals are poor and donot have any training, loans and initial training need to be provided with by the
implementing agency. During the second stakeholder workshop, the stakeholders expressed interest in
training to make cotton cloth, Maheshwari saree, bagh printing work, etc. Bagh printing artisans can hardly be
found now but tribals can be trained in Bagh printing.
4.9 SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Healthy sex ratio.
Availability of local (tribal) skills and crafts
Agriculture and tourism based economy with
high seasonal inflow of tourists
Presence of local knowledge systems in the
tribal population based on medicinal plants
and production of other flora based products
Close link of the local population with their
environment such as flora (herbs and trees)
and local water bodies (for pisciculture) that
help in the sustenance of these resources
High cattle population in peripheral areas
Opportunities
Development of Mahua based and other agro
based industries
Plantation of indigenous flora trees and
herbs, products of which have been and can
be used as livelihood generators
Revival of existing orchards
Setting up SSI and HHI with special focus
towards women using traditional knowledge,
skills, crafts and based on local raw materials
Training and capacity building of the local
population to enable them to set up their own
businesses
Revival of Bagh printing, handlooms etc
Animal rearing can be revived as economic
activity and dairies can be set up
Enhancement of tourism as livelihood
generator
Bee farming, Pisciculture, solar and wind farms
Weaknesses
Low work participation rate, even lower in
female population
Low literacy levels, even lower in female
population
Low contribution of house hold or small scale
industries based on indigenous materials, skills
and crafts towards the economy
Lack of agro based industries
Shortage of tourist infrastructure
Poor market channels for raw materials and
products from the town
Threats
Depletion of forests and flora that is potential
base of a number of industries
Outmigration and socio-economic stagnation of
remaining population due to poor literacy levels
and lack of livelihood opportunities
30
2013
4.10 Issues
Tourism is the main income generator in the town but only a specific segment currently benefits from
tourism. A large segment on the town population and almost the entire village population does not
benefit at all from tourism
Literacy rates are very low, need to be improved.
Low work participation rate. Female work participation rate is very low.
There are no small scale industries and agro based industries in the town.
Tourists come for day trips mostly, do not spend the night in the town. The earning from tourism is also
limited.
Poor market access (due to location) of the town makes it difficult for the produce from the town to be
traded.
Pisciculture is on a decline due to siltation of ponds. Animal rearing is also on a decline. Local trees like
Khurasani imli which are a source of income for the tribals are also decreasing.
Low employment opportunities in the town. People have to commute to neighbouring towns in search of
work.
Lack of irrigation facilities; hence only one crop a year.
4.11 City Specific Strategies and Action Plan
There is a strong need for literacy drives especially for female population - that may be based on
incentives.
Scope for setting up HH industries and SSIs. Poultry and dairy can be set up.
Drip irrigation can be promoted to increase crop production
Loans for setting up small scale businesses need to be provided.
Better educational facilities need to be provided, especially for tribals. Focus on computer education and
vocational courses also needed.
The town needs a sustainable economy that is not just based on tourism but other economic drivers as
well. There is a need to integrate tourism, heritage conservation, environmental protection and livelihood
generation.
It is important to establish industries in the town for providing livelihoods to the local population. There is
a strong need to generate livelihood opportunities using local skills and crafts such as production of herbal
medicines, consumer products and tribal craft based products. Initial support may be required through
involvement of specialised organisations for research and development that can help in viable product
development. NGOs for capacity building of the local population need to be promoted. The female
population needs to be encouraged and trained to set up household industries such as production of
agarbattis (incense sticks), lac products and stitching. Handloom work can be revived as a HH industry for
females. Workers can be provided with training to make cotton cloth, Maheshwari saree, bagh printing
work, etc. Market channels need to be opened up for the products.
31
2013
Tourism based economy to be enhanced by increasing night stay of tourists, increasing tourist season and
increasing income generation of locals from tourism. More activities can be promoted to increase the
tourist season and generate more livelihood opportunities based on tourism. More affordable tourist
accommodation, Community halls and dormitories can also be provided. There is a need to develop
models of participation where the local population can have a stake in the initiative through direct
ownership and management of a particular segment of tourist accommodation. Training and regulation
will be important components for such models to be successful. Such models can ensure that the local
population does not get marginalised but becomes an active participant in the process. A detailed
market/visitor study would be required to derive the actual need across various segments. Also, since
Dhamnod is being proposed as an accommodation hub for the regional tourist circuit, it must be ensured
that any additional accommodation being provided in Mandav is not incoherent and does not have any
negative impact on the ecology and social fabric of the town.
There is a need for research and development in the area of agriculture. Since nearly half the population
is dependent on agriculture, it is important to address issues such as the soil depth and scarcity of water
and devise innovative means to counter these. Any plantations (reviving orchards, planting Mahua 201112 having been declared as the Mahua plantation year by the Forest Division, Dhar) must be carried out
with the knowledge and understanding of the indigenous species and their suitability to the context. Drip
irrigation and sprinkler systems were not successful for other crops in the areas but may be tried for
cultivation of herbs, with appropriate and consistent training of the local population.
Setting up of agro based industries, production of bio gas etc can also help in sustainable development of
the people in social and economic terms.
Better market access needs to be provided, as a number of indigenous raw materials (such as mahua
flowers) perish before reaching the market and industry is also unable to flourish. It is important that as
far as possible, indigenous materials be used in the industries, to reduce dependence on external factors
in the production process.
Bee farming, pisciculture (after reviving the ponds), reviving cattle rearing and setting up dairies.
Setting up solar and wind farming are to be encouraged as these are activities that do not have any
negative impact on the ecological balance of the area.
Training is an important requirement for any initiative to be successful in the town. Be it regarding
provision of skills based on tourism industry or other indigenous material based HHIs and SSIs, there is a
need for involvement of NGOs and specialised organisations that can conduct programmes (workshops or
research) for capacity building, product development and socio-economic strengthening of the local
population.

CHAPTER 5: PHYSICAL PLANNING AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT

5.1 Spatial Growth Trends
Figure 5.1: Satellite image of Mandav in October 2000
Since the NP boundary is spread over 42.2 sq kms, of which a large percentage is forest land; the population
concentration in the town is low. The core town spreads over nearly 2 sq kms and a large percentage of the
built form in this area falls under monuments. In terms of settlements, there are scattered pockets of
hutments/slums across the core area. A key consideration for development in this area is that due to the
presence of listed monuments, most of the land in the core town falls under the 100 or 300m radius
(prohibited and restricted developments) under ASI. A large part of the built mass is mostly only monumental
and unauthorized encroachments in restricted areas. There is a little bit of institutional and commercial
activity along the main road.
Mandav was historically a very important place and at present, due to tourism, ribbon development has taken
place along the main road and the roads connecting to various monuments.
33
2013
Figure 5.2: Figure ground map of core area of Mandav Town
The Master Plan for the town was prepared for target year 2011 but has not been implemented yet. It is said
that nearly 9 lakh people inhabited Mandav during Mughal era and the remains of their houses are still found
in the town. Most excavations for new foundations in the town are stopped when remains of old houses are
found during construction work. Most of the houses in the town are kuccha and are not permitted to be made
pukka because they fall within the 100m or 300m periphery of monuments. Hence, most of the existing houses
in the town are kuccha and hardly any new constructions are coming up; hence, the built form of the town is
nearing stagnation.
5.2 Spatial Distribution of Population

Inside the main city, population is distributed along main streets and access roads. However, a major part of
the population (tribal population) is spread all over the NP area in their fields, near ponds and in forests.
However, due to lack of commercial activity, limited tourist season and various restrictions imposed by ASI,
34
2013
most of the people chose to stay in the outskirts and village area, near their farms and ponds where they could
do fishing. Hence, the density in the whole town is very low.
5.3 Municipal Level Mapping and Ward Delineation Map
Figure 5.3: Map of NP Area, Mandav showing Municipal and Ward boundaries. Source: NP, Mandav.
The town comprises of 15 wards. Of these only wards 1 to 5 comprise the main town, accounting for 3679
persons living in the main town. The remaining population is spread over the Municipal area, largely in forests
and villages; where they live in near isolation. Most of these villages dont have any infrastructural provision
and dont even have a proper access road. These villages are located amidst forests or scrubland and are
entirely based on agriculture.

5.4 Landuse Analysis

The land use map for Dhar district shows that Mandav is located in the south eastern part of the Reserve
Forest belt that runs across the centre of the District. To the south of the town lies Wetland double crop
area.
36
2013
In the town, mostly mixed

land-use is seen along the
streets near main junctions
with shops in the front and
residences at the back.
Along Jahaz Mahal road, the
land use largely comprises
of
institutional
and
residential
uses,
interspersed
with
monuments.
Along
Roopmati road, the land

use
comprises
of
commercial and PSP uses

close to the Jama Masjid
intersection due to the
presence of shops, bus
stand
and
Dharamshala.
This gives way to residential

land use along the main
road
which
gradually
transcends into the villages.

The settlement is largely
Figure 5.5: Landuse map for District Dhar. Source: Geological Survey of India
single storied with only
Hotels and Dharamshalas being G+1. The settlement is a low rise low density settlement. There is a very dense
slum housing just next to Jami Masjid. However, due to ASI restrictions, this slum is being shifted and the slum
dwellers are now encroaching on the right of way. There is one government guest house, student hostels and
4 main private hotels in the town. Religious structures include 2 Jain temples and 1 Hindu temple, besides the
Jami Mosque and small community level temples. The Proposed Master Plan for Mandav (prepared by TCPO)
is attached as annexure.
5. 5 Master Plan Provisions

The town has a Master Plan prepared by the TCPD. The Master Plan was not implemented due to the
intervention of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) that owns 61 properties in the NP boundary and
regulates an area of 300 metres around each of the monuments. A heritage resource management plan needs
to be prepared for the town that can address physical and heritage tourism development for the town.
The Master plan proposed development of 234ha of area, accounting for 19.5%

The Master Plan proposes that the developed area in the town should be increased by nearly 4 times from
55ha in 1999 to 234ha in 2011. Compared to standards, residential land use under the 1999 land use and
proposed land use for 2011, both were lower than standards (although the area under proposed residential
use is proposed to increase from 10ha to 55ha under proposed Master plan). It is recommended under the
CDP that area under residential land use in the town be increased and the existing housing stock be upgraded.
Area under commercial land use is higher than standards; even this can be considered justified as Mandav is a
tourist destination. The proposed land use for 2011 suggested that the land use under commercial be
increased from 5ha to 10ha. This is recommended as the area catering to tourists in Mandav is low. Area under
industries is extremely low (@2.03% in 1999 and proposed to reduce to 0.02% under Master plan, 2011). This
is also not recommended. It is proposed that the area under industrial should be retained at around 4% but it
should be made sure that the industries set up in Mandav are only HH indusitres/ Laghu udyog/ SSIs. No large
scale industries should be permitted, except tourism. Area under PSP and public uses is high (@27% in 1999
and 11.1% in 2011). It is proposed that atleast 11% area (12 ha; as proposed under Master plan) should be
retained under this use. Area under Traffic and others is high in Mandav (@20.83ha in 1999 and proposed to
be increased to 45ha under Master Plan). This could be due to the high percentage of land under ponds and
other uses. Since Mandav is a hilly region, it is proposed that the area under greens, forests and ponds should
be marked separately and should be conserved and increased. Area under monuments has been clearly
demarcated under the proposed Master plan and should continue to be considered as a separate category.
The proposed Master Plan also suggests that nearly 16ha area be brought under tourism related activities. This
is recommended under the CDP.

5.6 Housing Scenario

Most of the houses lie within the 100/300m circle around monuments and hence, are Kuchcha houses and are
not permitted to be made pukka. There are no Housing Board colonies or colonies made by private developers.
Houses near and along the road are often mostly semi pukka houses but DUs in the interiors and in villages are
entirely kuccha houses. Houses close to the town core are made of bamboo or stone structure with mud.
40
2013
Houses in villages are made of bamboo and thatch. According to the NP, there are a total of about 1500
houses in the town out of which about 100 are pukka and 1400 are kuccha. It is important that the character
of these traditional houses be understood and in any in-situ upgradation schemes it is ensured that the
character is not lost. Consultations with villagers suggested that they want to continue living at the same spot
and only want the structure of the house to be made pukka.
The number of properties on which property tax is levied are 58 in number, while properties on which Samekit
Kar or Integrated Tax is levied are 403 in number, as per a survey undertaken in 1997-98. The ward wise
distribution of these properties is listed in Table 5.1.

The above table reflects that the properties on which property or integrated taxes are levied are essentially
within Ward 1 to 5 as only these wards are largely urban in character and are provided services by NP. Other
wards have scattered population which is largely in the form of villages and NP does not provide any service to
these areas, except water supply.
5.7 Present and Future Housing Demand

The current population of 10,659 is divided into 1821 households. The current number of DUs in the NP
boundary is 1500, reflecting a clear shortage of 321 DUs. Also, since the number of pucca houses is only 100,
the actual housing shortage at present is 1721. The shortage can be attributed to the fact that getting
permission for new housing construction within the NP boundary is an issue. Also, any new construction work
is stopped by ASI as soon as red soil is found during excavation. The future demand as per the projected
population is stated in Table 5.8.

As can be seen from the table above, the absolute housing shortage in Mandav would be 3044 DUs by 2035. In
terms of meeting this housing shortage, a few considerations have to be made
Most residents want insitu redevelopment and infrastructure provision for their DUs
The DUs should be only G/G+1
The DUs for villagers should also be based on insitu redevelopment
Since construction of fresh DUs is suspended by ASI when excavation for foundations hits red soil;
alternate construction technologies should be used to ensure that the foundations donot require
much excavation and alternate means of construction like high plinth, etc should be promoted.
5.8 Illegal Colonies

The slum near Jami Masjid is unauthorized and needs to be removed as per ASI regulations. Encroachments on
forest land are also increasing and should be removed. Forest land is being cleared for construction of houses
and farms, a practice that needs to be stopped.
5.9 Future growth Possibilities

If local tourism in the town can be promoted, there is a possibility of influx of population to Mandav in search
of livelihood opportunities. Besides this, in order to develop the tourism potential of the town, more hotels,
recreational, commercial areas and gardens need to be developed. In terms of growth corridors, the Jahaz
Mahal road culminates at Jahaz Mahal and not much development can take place along this road. Only a few
vacant plots along this road can be developed as hotels or recreational areas. Roopmati road offers some
potential for development and Neelkanth road provides connectivity to Maharashtra. Some development is
already taking place along the Roopmati road; but owing to the difficult terrain, presence of Sagar pond and
presence of Roopmati Mahal and Baaz Bahadur Mahal along this road, only limited development can take
place along this road. Residential development can take place in Kalakot.
The town is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and has the potential of being declared a World
Heritage Site, though the nomination can go through only if there is a strong management plan in place. As the
current NP boundary is the same as the limit of the historical hill fort of Mandavgarh, there is a need for a
cautious approach for any further development across the NP area. Any initiatives towards the growth of the
town must address the fact that the town has layers of history under it that may be a rich source of
archaeological evidence for the country and the region.
Hence, it is proposed that in case of Mandav, instead of developing new lands, the focus should be on
potential upgradation of existing fabric, where possible (where the fabric is outside the 100/300m circle). Any
42
2013
new constructions should be made such that they donot disturb the layers of history which lay embedded in
the soil.
Upgradation of existing structures
Insitu upgradation of dwellings
Decentralized development whereby, the villagers are provided DUs within the village, instead of
developing group housing clusters for all villagers
Alternate construction tech technologies should be adopted that can reduce excavation for foundations.
Master plan for the town could not be implemented. Hence, during first phase, emphasis should be laid on
reviving the existing properties and utilizing them to their full potential and during 2
nd
phase, new
constructions can be considered.
Topographic survey of the town is needed on an urgent basis
Action Plan
Land use to be compatible with guidelines in the Integrated Heritage Resource Management Plan (IHRMP)
for Mandav.
Planning area/Investment Area to be revised as per proposal in CDP.
Removal of encroachments that are negatively affecting the cultural and natural resources.
Clear demarcation of forest land.
Land ownership and use to be mapped and integrated with GIS database.
Master Plan to demarkate zones (Core area, Modular development Zone, NP area, Heritage zone, Tourist
zones).
Development of Dharamshala.
Redevelopment of NP Raen Basera as Hotel based on decentralized / distributed hotel concept.
NP and MP Tourism to be given permission to extend activities in Revenue Land.

CHAPTER 6: WATER SUPPLY

6.1 Existing water supply system
Water supply to the town is from Sagar Talab located on the Roopmati Road. Water from Sagar Talab is
pumped to a WTP that has a capacity of 2.5 lakh litres (0.25 MLD). From the WTP, water is pumped to a 3 lakh
litre capacity OHT that is 30 years old and from here, water is supplied to the town through a municipal piped
supply system. When Sagar Talab dries out in March, water is drawn from the Mallipura Talab (a man made
pond at the foothills of Mandav) through a 20 year old water pipeline or through water tankers. Mallipura
pond is used for supply only during summers.
During second stakeholder consultation, it was pointed out by the stakeholders that the OHT is becoming
structurally weak and needs replacement. Even the WTP is not functional now and the water quality supplied
by the NP is poor. Water is supplied to the villages by water tankers but the villagers in some cases even resort
to sending the tanker back as the water is insufficient to cater to their demands.
6.2 Quality and quantity of water at source

2.5 lakh litres water is abstracted from Sagar Talab on a daily basis for distribution. From here, water is
pumped to the OHT (3 lakh litre; WTP not functional). Water is supplied only to the core city through pipelines.
Water to tribal areas is supplied through tankers on alternate days. Apart from this, 26 tubewells have also
been provided by the NP but owing to the terrain, most hand pumps dry out during summers. Some wells are
also located in the town.
There are a number of small ponds, water from which is used directly by the residents around for irrigation
and other purposes. Some tribal residents, also have private bores. Due to a drop in rainfall and siltation, the
ponds do not hold as much water as before. The ponds have undergone siltation over a period of time.
Another key concern is that for the winter crop, water from Sagar talab is used for irrigation and hence, the
talab dries out around February/March. Siltation of Sagar Talab, deforestation in its catchment area and
construction on drainage channels to the talab is leading to reduced retention capacity of the pond.
6.3 Quality and quantity of water in distribution system

As per the information provided by NP, the water supplied is 100 lpcd. But according to calculations, since 2.5
lakh litre water is supplied to 10659 persons, the per capita supply comes out to be 23.45 lpcd. Nearly half of
the tribal population (3490 @50% of 6980) is supplied water on alternate days; the NP is only able to supply
water to 67% of the total population on a daily basis. This is much lower than the per capita supply as per
standards.
44
2013
It was also reported that the quality of water supplied is poor because the WTP is not functional and hence,
better storage and treatment facilities need to be provided for the town. For the tribal areas, water tankers.
The tribal areas are supplied water through tankers which are filled from Sagar Talab.
6.4 Water supply connections

There are about 306 individual water supply connections in Mandav. This indicates a coverage of only 16.8%.
This is extremely low. It should also be noted that the nearly 65% of the town population lives in the forests
and villages and is not provided with any water supply connections at all. Apart from this, the town also has 26
45
2013
hand pumps. The villages and slum areas are not provided with water supply connections but handpumps in
and near these villages have been provided.
6.5 Other sources and Water Resources in and around the town
Bore wells are not viable because of the hilly terrain but in remote tribal areas within the NP boundary, people
are dependent on natural waterfalls, ponds and bore wells for water requirements. The main source of water
in the town is ponds: Sagar Talab and Malipura pond. There are 17 ponds that are under the NP, Mandav.
Ponds in the town, including Sagar talab and Mallipura are also used for irrigation and pisciculture. All the
ponds are presently suffering from siltation, deforestation in the catchment area and blockage of drainage
channels which lead to the ponds. Hence the water retention capacity of these ponds has gone down
significantly.
There are a number of ponds in and around the town. Some of the main ones are Sagar Talab, Lamba Talab,
Munj Talab, Kapoor Talab, Ek Khamba Talab, Samad Talab, Suraj Talab and Singori Talab, while there are many
more small ones within the NP boundary. The town also has historic stepwells and kunds such as Champa
Baori, Andhera and Ujala Baori and Rewa Kund (with water lift to supply water to the palace of Baz Bahadur).
During second stakeholder consultation and interviews with villagers, it was emphasized by the citizens that
there is a strong need for Desiltation of ponds. At the same time, it was also pointed out that funding for
desiltation of ponds has been sanctioned several times but the work has still not been started. The
stakeholders also emphasized the need to revive the catchment area of the ponds and revive drainage
channels to the ponds. The fishermen community pointed out that due to siltation, the ponds only retain
water for 5 to 6 months. The fishermen introduce fish eggs in the ponds which take upto 4 months to mature
and hence, the fishermen can only earn through fishing for 2 months a year; fishing used to be their main
occupation earlier. Now, they have to go to neighbouring towns to work as daily wage workers. The
stakeholders also pointed out that since rainfall in the region is on a decline, water supply to the town can be
sourced from Narmada and all the ponds can be used for irrigation. The Mandav Master Plan lists 22 water
bodies in the Planning Area, covering an area of 87 hectares (3.38% of the Planning Area), of which 7 are
manmade while the remaining are natural.
6.6 Water Distribution Arrangements

Water is supplied to the core town through piped supply but is supplied to the 7 villages in the peripheral area
through tankers on alternate days. Water from Sagar Talab (and Malipura talab during summers) is pumped to
the OHT on Neelkanth road through the water supply mains. From here, water is supplied to the town under
gravity. But this supply is largely confined to Ward 1 to 5. Other wards are supplied by tanker on alternated
days. The tankers are filled with water from the Sagar Talab via OHT. The NP has 1 tanker with a capacity of
5000 litres each that undertakes 3 to 4 rounds per day. The OHT is very old and is becoming structurally weak,
hence a new OHT is required. Additionally, more OHTs need to be provided for the tribal areas. One OHT can
46
2013
be provided near Jahaz Mahal; more OHTs can be

provided for peripheral areas. Water supply lines
were laid in the villages around 20 yrs ago but
were never connected to the mains. These
pipelines need to be connected to the source and
repaired.
6.7 Internal Distribution Networks

The internal distribution network of the town is
characterized by the mains which lead to the
distributors. The main line is 1800 metres long with
Some peripheral settlements within the NP area are dependent

on hand-pumps for water
varying dia of around 150mm. It can be said that

the internal network in the streets is haphazardly laid and indicates incremental addition.

6.8 Water treatment facilities

The town has a WTP with capacity of 3 lakh litres (0.3 MLD). But this WTP is very old and is not functional now.
A proposal report for repair and expansion of the tank has been sent to Dhar. The water is only bleached and
supplied and does not undergo appropriate treatment, resulting in poor quality of water supplied.
Water Quality Testing

Water quality testing report for Mandav shows that ground nd surface water before filtration showed
presence of Calcium and Magnesium Hardness (higher in groundwater), high turbidity, high TDS, high alkalinity
and very high amount of Faecal and Total Coliform Count (above standards). Hence, it is proposed that small
filtration plants be distributed to all HHs. Since hardness is lower in surface water, ponds to capture rain water
and collect surface water should be constructed and should be used as a source of water for the town.
6.9 Comparative analysis with UDPFI, CPHEEO guidelines and Present and Future Demand and
Supply Gaps
As per UDPFI guidelines, the minimum supply for small towns in 70 lpcd and desirable supply is 100 lpcd for
domestic purposes (with additional supply for other uses). The current supply to the town is inadequate at
23.45 lpcd and is lower than the absolute minimum standards. Hence, it is proposed that the town should be
supplied water @135 lpcd (including supply for other uses) for future demand. The town is presently supplied
47
2013
2.5 lakh litre of water but the present demand @70 lpcd (absolute minimum) is 7.5 lakh litre or 0.75 MLD
(@70 lpcd for 10,659 population) and the desirable value is 1.07 (@100 lpcd for 10,659 population) on basis of
the UDPFI guidelines.
For future projections, the water supply for Mandav has been projected @135lpcd till 2035. Since Mandav is a
prominent tourist destination, an additional 25% supply has been considered for water supply to tourists.
According to ASI data, nearly 7 lakh tourists visit Mandav each year. Assuming that nearly 70% of these visit
Mandav during the tourist season in Monsoons (July to September), nearly 4.9 lakh tourists visit Mandav over
3 months or 1.6 lakh/month. This can be interpreted as an additional 5444 or 5,500 persons per day in
addition to the town population. Hence, an additional 25% supply has been considered to meet the tourist
demand. Since most of these tourists wont be staying in Mandav for the entire day (as the carrying capacity
of Mandav in terms of tourist accommodation is limited and cannot be increased drastically due to
ecological and heritage constraints), a minimum of 60 lpcd can be considered for nearly 60% of the tourist
population. Based on these assumptions, an additional supply of 25% has been added to the total water
supply requirement for the town (provision of 135 lpcd for an additional 3000 persons in 2015 and so on).
Since it is being proposed that the tourist season be extended to attract more tourists to Mandav, although
the total tourist traffic to Mandav is proposed to increase in future, the per day tourist traffic is proposed to
remain stable in order to promote sustainable tourism without impacting the ecology of Mandav.

Hence the town needs to be provided with 3.11 MLD water by 2035.
6.10 Water tariff

Water tariff in the town is charged at a flat rate of Rs. 30/month. Commercial users are charged at
approximately Rs.120/month. It is proposed that this charge be increased to Rs. 60/month for domestic users
but this hike is pending subject to NP Parishad approval.
48
2013
6.11 Status of Ground Water in the Region

As per the geohydrology map of Dhar
District from GSI, Mandav lies in the
area with depth of water table at 6
metre below surface. But owing to
the rocky terrain, the availability of
ground water is constrained. Hence,
ponds are the most feasible option at
present. But owing to the reducing
rainfall and high siltation levels, even
these ponds are drying out. According
to the NP Mandav, the water level of
Mandav is 100 metres/300 feet.
6.12 Water Supply Projects

A Water augmentation scheme for
water abstraction from Narmada has
been prepared and submitted by the
NP (not under UIDSSMT). Under the
scheme, water is to be taken from
Narmada River at Dharampuri (25km
Figure 6.1: Geohydrology map of Dhar District, Source: Geological Survey of

India
away). The scheme proposed by PHED

has an estimated cost of Rs 3 crores. The cost is high because there is a 1200 ft elevational difference between
Dharampuri and Mandav so the water would need to be pumped that high.
A scheme to supply water to Dhar from Narmada has been sanctioned recently at a cost of 25 Crores. During
the Second Stakeholder Consultation, the stakeholders proposed that provision of water supply to the town
through this network can also be considered.
6.13 Water supply scenario in peripheral villages

Site visits to some of the peripheral villages were undertaken
during February, 2012. The situation in these villages is
extremely poor w.r.t. infrastructural provision and needs
immediate attention
Tarapur village
The village does not have any water supply provisions. The
49
2013
only sources of water for the village are a hand pump in the
primary school, a pond and a well made in the pond bed. All of
these sources dry up around summers. The pond is presently
dry (Feb, 2012) and is being used for cultivation. A water
supply line from Sagar Talab to the village was laid around 20
years ago. This supply line needs to be repaired and revived
and immediate supply from Sagar talab needs to be initiated.
For
irrigation
purposes
desiltation
of
Tarapur
pond,
afforestation of its catchment and diverting the catchment runoff into the pond are required.
Sagar Village
The residents of this village are
primarily dependent on agriculture for
their livelihood and owing to lack of
irrigation facilities, these people are
only able to grow one crop a year and
have to migrate to neighbouring towns
in search of work. These people mostly migrate to Rajasthan, Pithampura and Indore after summers to work as
construction labour. During summers, they work within Mandav as agricultural labour. The village is not
connected to the water supply network and has to rely on ponds and handpumps in nearby areas for drinking
water. The pond in Sagar village needs to be desilted and another pond can be constructed on the drainage
channels in the area
Songarh Village
Residents of Songarh village have to commute approximately 2 km to get water from the school handpump at
Tarapur gate. During summers, they have to commute
uphill even further, upto NP to get water from baories and
other sources. Songarh village pond needs to be revived
Jhabri village
This village suffers from extreme water scarcity. The
village used to have a pond which does not retain much
water now owing to siltation and diversion of drainage
channel to the pond. The catchment area of the pond has
Village kund, Tipkiya talab being used for cultivation

and Tipkiya Gufa
also been deforested. Hence, the villagers now have to

depend on Tipkiya gufa, where water seepage water from the rocks collects and is used by the villagers. The
gufa is located along a valley and is accessible through a kuccha and dangerous pathway which overlooks a
valley. The area around Jahbri village has only 1 kund which has been specifically kept out of bounds for
50
2013
irrigation to ensure availability of drinking water during summers. But water in this kund is also polluted and
people also use this kund for bathing and washing. A nallah from the middle of pond in Jhabri village drains
into the valley near Tipkiya talab. The village does not have a pukka access road

Water levels in baoris and kunds need to be revived
Peripheral wards are not connected to the water supply
network. These areas are supplied by water tankers that
lead to high fuel consumption and air pollution
Land availability for pond construction is limited in and
around the main town. Valleys have scope for
development of ponds.
High pumping costs for water supply from Narmada
WTP and OHT are old and defunct. More OHTs are
required to supply water to the entire NP area
Poor quality of water being supplied
Extremely poor condition of water supply in peripheral
areas
Threats
Deforestation causing siltation and drying of ponds
Climate change low rainfall causing scarcity of water
6.15 Issues
Sagar Talab is the main source of water supply to the town and continued abstraction for water supply
and irrigation has led to drying of the pond. Hence, an alternate supply for future is required.
Extremely low per capita supply @23.45 lpcd. Water supplied only to 67% of the town population on a
daily basis.
The peripheral villages live in extreme water scarcity and have to resort to drinking water from extremely
unhygienic kunds, dig wells or travel to Tipkiya gufa to get water. Ponds and wells in the peripheral
villages need to be revived on priority basis
Only 16.8% of the town population is connected to the piped supply network.
51
2013
Peripheral areas with predominant rural character are served by tankers, which in turn, leads to heavy
expenditure on transportation, fuel consumption and air pollution. The villagers emphasized provision of
water through direct supply from Sagar talab on a priority basis.
Existing WTP and OHT are old and in poor condition.
Ground water abstraction is not viable environmentally and economically.
Existing ponds, kunds and baories are suffering from issues such as siltation, eutrophication and pollution.
Desiltation of ponds has been approved several times but no work has been undertaken.
WTP not functional; hence, quality of water supplied by NP is poor. Presently water is being supplied after
bleaching only.
Desiltation of ponds has been proposed many times but no action has been taken so far.
6.16 City specific strategies and action plan
New WTP and new OHT needed on priority basis
Existing ponds might not be able to provide ample water to meet future requirements, especially due to
reduction in rainfall. Direct supply from Narmada can be considered.
A scheme to supply water to Dhar from Narmada has been sanctioned at a cost of 25 Crores. Mandav can
be linked to this scheme.
Ponds need to be revived through desiltation, conservation of catchment area and reviving drainage
channels to the pond.
Ponds in the town can be reserved for irrigational purposes, water supply to villages and for tourism
purposes.
Village areas should be provided with water supply lines from Sagar talab on priority basis.
More OHTs need to be provided for the town. One OHT can be provided near Jahaz Mahal and one near
Chisti complex (close to Mallipura dam) on Dhar road; more OHTs can be provided for tribal areas
Revival and desiltation of ponds is needed, including Sagar Talab. The silt can be used in agricultural fields
to improve soil depth.
More Ponds can be developed in the valley areas like Jamia Phata from where water can be pumped to
Sagar Talab. Potential for pond construction can also be explored near Neelkanth Mandir and Jamnia
nallah. Another pond can be constructed at Maratha Nallah on Jahangirpuri road (big pond can be made
at this site; can serve at least 5 villages). Forest land in Mandav has many nallahs on which ponds can be
constructed. Construction of check dams needs to be avoided.
Drip irrigation to be introduced to reduce irrigation demand and hence, reduce pressure on water
resources.
Revival of Tarapur pond, pond in Sagar village, Jhabri village pond, Songarh pond and Kaldipura pond. A
pond can be constructed near the Jamnia nallah.

2013
CHAPTER 7: SEWERAGE
7.1 Existing sewerage system
There is no underground sewerage system in Mandav. The
town has 2000 mts of open drains. Since the town population
is low, the drains dry out by the time they reach the forests.
Hence, wastewater percolates into the ground. Only during
monsoons, wastewater from houses finds its way into the
forests.
Wastewater in the town flows through a network of open

drains and these drains are atleast 3 to 5ft deep at some places. These drains are around 20cm to 1ft wide and
the network is entirely open. The ULB and stakeholder consultations revealed that there is a need to cover
these drains on priority basis. Cases of vehicles getting stuck in teh drains and people getting hurt by falling
into these drains were common. Most houses in the town donot have HH toilets and the ones with toilets
generally have septic tanks.
54
2013
7.2 Means of sewage disposal

Wastewater from households is drained into the road side drains which empty into the open drains, from
where wastewater flows into nallahs and ultimately into forest areas. For cleaning of septic tanks in the town,
the Nagar Parishad Mandav takes vaccum emptying tank on hire from M. C. Dhar as and when required. The
Nagar Parishad charges Rs 500 per tank cleaning. It is reported that there are 5 to 10 calls every month on an
average, pointing to the cleaning of less than 100 septic tanks in one year. Information of manual cleaning of
septic tanks by the households themselves is not available. The sullage collected from the tanks is disposed
without any treatment (Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme for Mandav, UADD; 2010/11).
The villages have not even been provided with a drainage network. The villages are characterized by a small
cluster of kuccha houses with no toilet facilities. Most of the villagers resort to open defecation and
wastewater from these households drains along natural flow paths in the forest and farmlands.
Supply Gaps
UDPFI and CPHEEO guidelines propose sewage generation @75-80% of the water supply to the town. Since
there is no measure of actual sewage generation in the city, these standards have been used for estimating
sewage generation in Mandav. The demand has been calculated for the projected population up to 2035,
including tourist population that is taken as 25% of the resident population.
The total water requirement for the town has been estimated at 3.11 MLD by 2035 (including additional 25%
requirement for tourists). Considering that wastewater generation is nearly 75% of the total water
consumption, the total wastewater generation for the town till 2035 can be estimated at 2.33 MLD.

Since wastewater generation in the core town would be around 1 MLD only and the remaining would be
confined to villages spread across the forests, it is proposed that decentralized wastewater treatment facilities
should also be considered because of the decentralized nature of settlement as well as low wastewater
generation (STPs require 8 to 10 MLD wastewater generation for efficient working).
7.4 SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Low wastewater generation
Scheme for Integrated Low Cost
Weaknesses
Combined network for sewage and storm water
No sewerage network and treatment plant
55
2013
Sanitation has been approved
Opportunities
Scope for decentralised waste water
Treatment
Open drains to be covered
Provision of public toilets
Open drains are large enough to carry storm water

runoff from the mountains but lead to injuries and
problem for vehicular traffic
Sewage emptying into forests
Clogging of drains as they are open
Threats
Contamination of runoff flowing through open drains
Can cause pollution in the forest areas
Shortage of toilet facilities would impact sanitation
levels in forest areas
7.5 Issues
Large open drains which are a hazard for the public and also a source of foul odour.
No sewage network
Decentralized nature of settlement, especially in villages
No wastewater treatment facility
7.6 City specific strategies and Action Plan
The town requires a system of decentralized waste water treatment.
Decentralized wastewater treatment facility needed for core town on immediate basis
Diverting existing nallahs into the treatment plant in the short term and provision of sewerage network in
the long run.
Reuse of treated waste water must be carried out.
There is a need for provision of separate storm water and waste water network.
Action Plan
Diverting sewage to decentralised sewage treatment System
Provision of grating over the drains
Decentralized wastewater treatment
Reuse of treated wastewater
56
2013
CHAPTER 8: SANITATION
8.1 Existing sanitation system
Most of the houses in the town are kuccha and donot have a toilet facility. The houses which have toilet
facilities are connected to the road side drains and wastewater empties into open drains which flow across the
town and empty into the forest area. Data from Nagriya Swacchta Sarvekshan, 2008 shows that only 16% of
the HHs have toilets and only 12% of the population has access to public toilets. Hence, nearly 88% of the town
population resorts to open defecation in farms and forests. Toilet facilities for tourists are also a key concern
and need to be provided on an immediate basis.
8.2 Household toilets (Dry Latrines and Flush latrines)

Most of the HHs in the town donot have toilets and people have to resort to open defecation. Toilet facilities
for tourists are extremely limited considering the fact that the town is visited by nearly 7 lakh tourists per year.
Data based on Nagriya Swacchta Sarvekshan, 2008 shows that nearly 16% of HHs have HH toilets and only 12%
have access to public toilet. The willingness to pay for toilet facilities was only 5% but the willingness to
maintain post construction was relatively higher at 42%. For more than 1500 HHs in 2008, the town only had
170 septic tanks (68%) and nearly 31% resort to open defecation. Nearly 58.5% showed preference for a HH
toilet whereas 41% showed preference for a public toilet facility.
The current sanitation alternatives in Mandav slum area essentially comprise of individual pour-flush latrines
and to a much lesser extent, public latrine blocks. Most houses do not have toilets. Residents who do not have
access to individual or community/public toilets, resort to open defecation (Source: Integrated Low Cost
Sanitation Scheme for Mandav).
8.3 Public toilets

There is only 1 public latrine block but the present condition suggests that public toilets are not successful in
the town due to lack of maintenance and ownership. There is a lack of adequate toilet facilities at public places
like bus stand, due to which people are forced to defecate or urinate in the open. Mandav being a heritage
tourist destination, the number of visitors is roughly estimated to be 1000-2500 per day during peak season.
Hence, it is imperative that hygienic and adequate public conveniences be provided for maintaining overall
sanitation levels in the town.
Besides public toilets, NP has also installed around 2 to 3 mobile toilet units across the main town. These are
used at present but lack proper drainage facilities, lighting and water provision. Wastewater from these toilets
also empties in the open areas. Community toilets for villages are also needed on priority basis.
57
2013
8.4 Present Shortage and Projected Demand

The town presently has around 175 HH toilets (NP, 2012). Considering that currently the town has 1821 HHs,
the current shortage is of 1646 HH toilets. By 2035, the total HHs in the town would be around 3144, leading
to an absolute shortage of nearly 2969 HH toilets.

Special emphasis should be laid on provision of HH toilets and community toilets in village areas. Provision of
HH toilets in public places is also needed on priority basis.
Septage Management
Septage management is needed on an urgent basis in the town. A considerable proportion of households
depend on on-site sanitation facilities and their construction, regular cleaning, and safe disposal of septage
remain haphazard. The septage is let out untreated which harms the health and environment of the town. It is
most likely for the number of septic tanks to increase in the town , hence a separate policy or regulation for
septage management is required for the town.
For effective Septage Management Plan, data on septage arrangements, their quantity and locations of its
generation etc. are required. The ULBs would need to make arrangements to collect baseline data type of
latrine disposal, effluent disposal arrangement, size, age, when it was last cleaned, availability of access,
arrangement for disposal of effluent if any) of existing installations, to plan for workable desludging schedules.
It is advisable to divide the town into different sanitary zones and carry out the baseline survey in one or a few
of these zones, pilot desludging schedules by area to learn operational issues and devise solutions, before
upscaling to the entire ULB. The selection of zone could be based on availability of septage disposal sites
existing STPs could be potential septage disposal/application sites or trenches provided in solid waste landfill
sites or suitable urban forestry sites where the septage trenches would serve to fertilize the plants. In order to
be economical and financially competitive, it is suggested that households in demarcated septage
management zone should be within 5 kms travel distance from identified treatment and disposal sites.
8.5 Sanitation projects

An Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme (ILCS) has been proposed for the town. The proposal has been
sanctioned by the government but is yet to be implemented. The project construction period is one year from
the date of sanction. The project proposes provision of community toilets, 4 public toilets for tourists, 994
household toilets with twin pit pour flush disposal technique across the 15 wards of the town and
construction of drains (4500 mts across 5 slum wards) in the project area.
58
2013
The name of the scheme is Achieving Open Defecation Free status in Mandav Municipal Area. The nodal
agency for the project is Urban Administration and Development Department (UADD), Govt. of Madhya
Pradesh and the implementing agency is Nagar Parishad, Mandav. The project cost is Rs. 114.31 lakhs, for the
994 units proposed. The funding pattern for the project is:
Central Grants: Rs 86.975 lakhs
State Grants: Rs. 17.395 lakhs
Beneficiary contribution: Rs 9.94 lakhs
Considering a total demand for 2969HH toilets by 2035, the town needs to be provided with an additional
1975 HH toilets, over and above those proposed under Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme.
8.6 SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Low population concentration, hence low
waste and wastewater generation in core area
Opportunities
Provision of public toilets for tourists
Provision of community toilets in villages to be
taken up on priority basis
Provision of adequate sanitation infrastructure
to cater to the demands of tourists
Provision of HH toilets
Short term measures to control the flow of
sewage into the drainage network
Using successful models for maintenance and
management of community and public toilets
Weaknesses
Defecation along open drains
Shortage of community toilets
Existing public toilets are poorly maintained
Toilet facilities for tourists are needed
Only 9.6% HHs have toilets
Villages dont even have community toilets and
have to resort to open defecation
Threats
Pollution of soil and water from septic tank
overflow and open defecation
Failure to develop the town as a tourist
destination due to poor sanitation
8.7 Issues
Unlined drains and nallahs lead to percolation of sewage and hence, cause groundwater contamination.
Open drains are prone to clogging due to garbage dumping.
Shortage of public toilet facilities for tourists
Mobile toilets not used properly due to lack of proper drainage, water and electricity
No community toilets available for villagers
No public toilets at bus stands and important tourist places
Public and community toilets are poorly maintained.
59
2013
Provision of community toilets in villages on a priority basis
Provision of public toilets for tourists on priority basis. These public toilets should be operated on pay and
use basis to ensure maintenance
Existing public toilet needs to be maintained and managed properly using successful models.
Sewage discharge into open drains needs to be diverted in the short term.
Proposed project for sanitation needs to be implemented to eliminate open defecation.
Action Plan
Provision of Community toilets (Can be provided along the lines of Deluxe Toilets: Build, Operate and
Transfer basis). Mobile toilets can also be provided
Provision of Modular deluxe toilets / Mobile Toilets
Decentralized wastewater treatment facility
DPR for Decentralized wastewater treatment facility
Development and implementation of a Septage Management Plan
Generation of awareness towards sanitation

2013
CHAPTER 9: SOLID WA STE MANAGEMENT

9.1 Quantity of Waste Generated
According to the sanitation department of Nagar Parishad Mandav, 2 MT domestic solid waste is generated
daily. According to the NP, of this, around 3 quintals or 0.15 MT of waste is collected from the drains and taken
to the trenching ground. This gives a per capita waste generation of 188 g/capita/day. Considering the fact that
presently waste is collected only from 10 wards and the villagers in the remaining wards dispose their waste
themselves in nearby areas, 2 MT waste is being generated by 7093 persons (66% of total population). Hence,
the per capita waste generation comes out to be approximately 282/capita/day which is reasonable. According
to estimates, the per capita waste generation can more than double during tourist season.
The collection efficiency according to the NP was 100% but this collection is confined only to the urban wards.
Hence, the overall collection efficiency of the NP can be estimated at 66% @2 MT collection from 10 wards. As
per 2001 data available from the Report on Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme for Mandav, (UADD) only
0.5 MT of solid waste was collected per day; which indicates a collection efficiency of 16.66%. Hence, the
collection efficiency of the NP has increased over the decade.
Waste is usually collected via the door to door service along the main spines. In internal areas, some open
dumping is also practiced. Villagers dispose off their waste in the forest areas.
9.2 Constituents of municipal waste

No surveys or studies have been undertaken to assess the actual waste composition of the city. But it is likely
that the waste would be rich in compostable material and recyclable material.
9.3 Current practices of Solid waste management and Vehicles for solid waste collection and
Transportation
Free door to door collection facility was started in the town two years ago across Ward 1 to 10 and has
improved the sanitation levels along the core areas. Door to door collection is carried out through 6 hand carts
and 1 door to door collection vehicle (door to door collection vehicle is used for collection along main road)
from properties along main roads and in the evening through 2 cycle rickshaws collect waste from properties
along internal roads. A total of 15 sanitary staff members are employed with the NP. The remaining 5 wards
are not covered under the collection system. Two tractor trolleys with a total capacity of 1000 Kg carry the
collected waste to the trenching ground. No attempts have been made towards composting of waste.
As per the Report on Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme for Mandav (2001), a household survey
presented a bleak picture of the solid waste management chain, at the primary collection and transfer end.
Analysis of responses from 2100 households (across the 15 wards) indicated that a bulk (91%) of the
households disposed garbage in the open or in drains. Only a small proportion of households practiced proper
disposal in solid waste bins (a little over 8%) or door to door pickup (less than 10%). Ward wise data analysis
61
2013
indicated that the use of solid waste bins for garbage disposal was well practiced only in 2 municipal wards
where more than 2/3
rd
households reportedly used municipal solid waste bin. In contrast, nearly 22%
households in two wards disposed garbage in drains (Source: Report for Integrated Low Cost Sanitation
Scheme for Mandav, 2001). According to Nagriya Swacchta Sarvekshan, 2008; nearly 84% of the total
population resorted to open dumping whereas only 15% resorted to waste disposal in bins. In most of the
cases, the distance of dumping ground was 50 to 100 ft from the HH. Nearly 73% residents reported that waste
is not collected from their premises by the NP. Hence, it can be said that the SWM scenario in the town has
improved considerably since 2001 and 2008, as presently waste is being collected from nearly 66% HHs.
Waste dumping near water bodies was not significant. But waste disposal in the open and in forest areas is a
common practice for the villagers.
9.4 Waste storage & segregation

Waste is not usually stored since door to door collection started. The waste is handed over to the Municipal
van in wards 1 to 10 from where the vehicles/handcarts carry it to the tractor/trolley and this tractor/trolley
carries the waste to the dumping ground near Lohani caves, located 1km from the town.
9.5 Primary and secondary collection

Free door to door collection of solid waste is practiced in 10 wards of the town. Other than this Nagar Parishad
Mandav has 24 designated collection points from where waste is collected and transported. The waste is
collected by handcarts and door to door collection vehicle from where it is transferred to the tractors and
trolleys which carry the waste to the dumping ground.
9.6 Processing and disposal

No processing of the solid waste is undertaken currently. The garbage is dumped at designated trenching
ground in Ward no. 3, ahead of Dhoop Baodi near Lohani Caves. Presently the waste is spread over a large area
and mars the scenic beauty of the area, which is located close to Lohani caves, a tourist attraction. The
location of the trenching ground close to the baodi and the historic caves is an issue because it can cause
water pollution and is a deterrent for tourists who come to see the caves.
A new trenching ground is proposed to be developed close to this dumping ground, near Lohani caves. Land
for this has been transferred to NP by the State government. But since this proposed trenching ground is also
close to an area of tourist importance, the site needs to be relocated or provided an alternate location. The
new trenching ground should be developed as a sanitary landfill site with vermin composting facility.
9.7 Reuse and recycling

No reuse and recycling of solid waste is undertaken currently. Since the tourist traffic to Mandav is high, a
recycling plant should be set up in the town, especially for plastics.
62
2013
9.8 Estimation of waste collection

Though according to the NP, 100% waste collection is undertaken but since waste collection is presently being
undertaken only for 10 wards, the remaining villages are presently not covered. Hence, the collection
efficiency of the NP can be placed at approximately 66%.
9.9 Staff strength

As discussed, the NP has 15 sweepers who undertake waste collection and disposal for the town.
Supply Gaps
As per UDPFI guidelines, waste generation in small towns is approximately 250g/capita/day and that for
medium towns is between 250 to 500g/cap/day. CPHEEO guidelines state waste generation for a small town
@250g/capita/day. According to this, the waste generation in Mandav is slightly higher than standards
@282g/capita/day. Waste generation for the town has been projected till 2035 based on the consideration
that waste generation would increase @1% years 5 years. Since Mandav is a predominant tourist town, an
additional 25% waste generation has been estimated for tourists. Since the waste composition for Mandav is
not known, it has been assumed that nearly 50% of the waste would comprise of organic waste which can be
composted and nearly 10% of the waste would comprise of recyclable material, especially plastics. Hence,
compost and recycling plant can be established in or around the town to reduce the waste to landfill. It is also
proposed that the trenching ground should be developed as a sanitary landfill site.
The town has already received a total of Rs 12.12 lakhs from the Govt. of India for solid waste management.

of which nearly 3.41 MT would be compostable waste, 0.68MT would be recyclable waste and 2.73MT waste
would go to the landfill.
9.11 SWOT Analysis

Strength
Free door to door collection in the core part of the
town
63
Weaknesses
There is no collection of solid waste in the
outer wards and village areas of the town
2013
Land has been acquired for trenching ground
Trenching ground is located near Lohani

caves, which is a tourist attraction
Possibility of contamination of run off

Threats
Uncontrolled dumping can mar the
natural, scenic and architectural beauty of
the town
Opportunities
Waste segregation
Composting

Decentralised treatment of waste
Biogas generation
Awareness generation
9.12 Issues
Despite mandatory provisions under the Municipal Solid Waste Management (Handling and Disposal)
Rules, 2000, hardly any urban local body in Madhya Pradesh is in a position to claim 100% compliance of
the said rules. The lack of segregation of bio-degradable and non-degradable waste at source, lack of
proper collection, transportation and scientific disposal lead to compounded problems of garbage piling at
all public spaces.
Dumping site needs to be shifted from its present location near Lohani Caves as this is a tourist destination
with waterfalls.
Sanitary landfill site required.
Only 66% coverage
Presently, waste is spread over a large area which looks unsightly and needs to be compacted.
Decentralized waste treatment facilities

Composting to be initiated to reduce waste to landfill
Recycling of waste, especially plastics; assuming that high plastic rich waste would be generated by the
tourists

CHAPTER 10: DRAINAGE

10.1 Existing Drainage System
The existing drainage system is a network of open drains running along streets that drain along the natural
slopes. The town currently has a combined network for wastewater and storm water. The main drains are
wide and deep and run along both sides of the road along the central spine of the town. These drains donot
have a proper outfall and empty into the forests. The general slope is from Dhar road towards Sagar Talab.
The town has many ponds, including Sagar Talab which are located within the NP boundary and the
Investment area boundary. Most of these ponds are the only source of water for the villagers and are used for
irrigation, drinking and other purposes. Most of these ponds are silted and dry out around January end when
water is used for irrigation of winter crops. Revival of ponds, kunds and baolies in the town is needed.
65
2013
10.2 Major water bodies

The Sagar Talab a manmade pond, is the main water body for the town. A number of local ponds were
created as a result of stone quarrying for construction of buildings. The Karam, a tributary of Narmada runs
close to Mandav. Another man made pond, Mallipura is located close to the foothills. Jahaz Mahal also has 2
ponds; of which one pond is dry and the other one has water.
10.3 Primary, secondary and tertiary drains

There is one major drain in the town known as Rampura. The secondary drains are the nallahs along natural
slopes and the tertiary drains are ones that run along internal streets. The road side drains in the town are U
and V shaped. The total length of pucca U and V shaped drains is 2900 metres while the total length of
kuchcha U and V shaped drains is 700 metres (Source: NP, Mandav). The NP is taking up a project of converting
all U shaped drains to V shaped drains to enable easy cleaning.
10.4 Flood prone areas and flooding in catchment area of major nallah
During monsoons, Dharampuri Mandav road which links the town to NH, gets water logged in Monsoons and
runoff from the surrounding hills flows through this road. Owing to the topography, flooding within or around
the town is not a major problem. The road side drains are also wide enough to carry the runoff.
Supply Gaps
As discussed earlier, the total road length in the town is approximately 28km implying a need for provision of
56km of drainage network (both sides of the road). But the existing length of drains in Mandav is 3.6km
implying a shortage of 52.4km. Hence, at present the town only has 6.4% coverage of drainage network and
needs to be provided with 52.4km of drains to meet the existing demand. With provision of more roads in
future, the extent of the drainage network would have to be increased.
10.6 Proposed Projects

The NP is taking up a project to convert all the U shaped drains in the town to V shaped drains. This will make
it easier to clean the drains as silt gets clogged at the base of U shaped drains whereas, V shaped drains can be
washed off easily.
10.7 SWOT Analysis

CHAPTER 11: TRAFFIC AND

D TRANSPORTATION
11.1 Existing traffic & transportation scenario
Mandav is approximately 1 hr from
m the National Highway 3 but despite this geographicaal proximity to NH, the
connectivity to Mandav is extremeely poor. Mandav is 2 hrs from Indore (85 kms apprrox) and close to State
Highway 22 and State Highway 31.. Because of its elevation and topography, access to
o the town is from two
roads one from Dhar/Dhamnod an
nd one from Dharampuri. But both these roads are in poor condition. The
road connecting the town to Dharaampuri is in particularly bad condition because this ro
oad passes through the
hilly tracts of Mandav and River Khu
uj also runs along the edge of this road. The heavy mo
onsoon runoff from the
hills of Mandav is carried down thee road and the road is also impacted by flooding in River Khuj. As a result,
this road is worn out and repairs on
o this road dont last for long. The other road from
m Dhamnod is better in
condition but the route via Manpu
ura is not marked with signage and the condition off Manpura road is also
poor. Within the town, network is limited to four main roads, one being the road from
m Dhar, another being
m Dhar to Dharrampuri
Roopmati road, Neelkanth road leading to Dharmpuri road. N-S link in district from
goes though Mandav
Condition of main roads
nd Dharampuri are also

The internal roads of the town are double lane and the main access roads from Dhar an
ominent tourist destination in the district and a pro
oposed World Heritage
double lane. Since Mandav is a pro
Site, better road connectivity to the town is required, especially from NH3. A rail link iss proposed from Chota
Udaipur to Dhar and this link is prop
posed to pass through Manav.
11.2 Vehicle population

In Dhar District, the vehicular popu
ulation based on
registrations from 2000 to present day reflect

0.55%, 0.12% and 0.02% respectively.

The total number of 2 wheelers registered in the Dhar District from 2000 till date are 90,256 while the total
number of 4 wheelers registered across the same time period are 530. This reflects that 4 wheelers form only
0.6% of the total 2 and 4 wheeler population while 2 wheelers constitute 99.4%. The same pattern is reflected
in the towns of the District.
Figure 11.2: Road Map of Mandav. Source: Primary survey, Nov. 2011
69
2013
Vehicular Population in Mandav

The total 2 and 4 wheeler population in Mandav is estimated at 709, considering that the town forms 1.95% of
the total urban population of the District and the proportion can be applied in calculating the vehicle
population (@ 1.95% of the urban 2 and 4 wheeler vehicle population of Dhar District). Of these, at a rate of
0.6% of the 2 and 4 wheeler populations, the number of 4 wheelers in Mandav comes to about 4, but this
number is actually higher for Mandav due to the local 4 wheeler taxi operators in the town to cater to tourists.
During Stakeholder consultations, it was found that only around 10 to 12 taxis are registered from Mandav.
Other vehicles that come to Mandav during peak season are registered in other parts of the district, especially
in Indore.

2013
11.3 Details of Roads

The total length of kuchcha roads in NP area is 14 kms as per information provided by the NP while, the total
length of pucca roads is 14 kms as well. This includes 10 km of cement roads, 1 km of Kharanja farsi road and 3
kms of Damar or coal tar road exist in the town. Hence, the total length of roads under the NP comes to 28
kms. The Dhar Mandav Road is under the PWD, Dhar Division (according to map of roads provided by PWD,
Dhar Division). The road condition is ok and needs improvement. The road linking Mandav to Dharampuri is
also a double land road but in poor condition. Within the town, the roads are double land but and in
reasonable condition upto Neelkanth. It can be said that the main arterial roads in the town are in decent
condition but sub arterial roads leading to the villages are in poor condition. The road from Tarapur gate to
Tarapur village is a kuccha road in poor condition. Similarly, the subarterial road to Jahangirpura gate is in poor
condition and beyond Kaldipura, this road becomes non motorable and access to villages like Jhabri can only
be through 2 wheelers. There is an urgent need to improve connectivity to villages in NP boundary.
The town needs another link to NH3 to enhance connectivity. A road linking the south eastern part of Mandav
near Gujri to the SH-31 that further meets at a short distance with the NH-3 already exists. The road from
Jahangir pura gate is pukka to some distance and there is a road which was made under PM gram Sadak yojna
which is nearly from Jhabri village. A kuccha road exists which connects the Jahangir pura gate to Jhabri
village and connects Jhabri village to PMGSY road. Hence, this link needs to be strengthened and made pukka
as an alternate access road to the town. This will not only provide direct connectivity to Mandav from NH3 but
will also improve the quality of life in Jhabri village.

While it is true that historically Mandav only had a strategic road linkage with Dhar, as it was a military
stronghold for the rulers of Dhar up to the early medieval period. The opening up of the linkage towards SH-31
and hence NH-3, would help in encouraging heritage tourism and providing market access that can be the
means of enabling economic vitality for the town in the current context.
11.4 Agencies in traffic & transportation.

Presently all junctions in Mandav are unmanned and there is no presence of Traffic Police. During peak season,
traffic police constables man important junctions.
11.5 Travel characteristics

Most of the resident population walks from one place to the other within the town, while some use bicycles.
There are very few motorised vehicles in the town and hardly any intra town public transport. The tourists
come in buses, hired or private cars and use the same to travel to the main tourist attractions. About 10 to 12
operators provide taxis (ranging from small cars to SUVs) on rent for tourists to visit the various tourist
attractions in the town. Most of the tourists stay in Dhar or Nalcha and commute to Mandav on a daily basis.
The villages are located at a significant distance from the main town and students have to commute daily for
upto 2 hrs (one way) to reach the school located in town. There are no vehicular services (public or private) to
provide connectivity between main town and the village areas and the same is needed on priority basis.
11.6 Public transport/mass transit and Inter - city bus transport

Within the town, there is no public or mass transit option, while only private buses provide intercity
connectivity. There are no state run buses. Private buses ply to Indore, Mhow, Ratlam, Ujjain, Dhamnod,
Dharampuri and Dhar. Most people commute from Mandav to these areas for trade or to work as agricultural
labour during cropping season or as manual/construction work labour after cropping season.
72
2013
Connectivity with Dhar is good and buses ply almost every half an hour from Dhar to Mandav from 8 am to 7
pm on a daily basis. 17 buses go from Mandav to Dhar while there are 4 buses to Indore, 1 to Ujjain, 1 to
Petlawad and 1 to Umarvan. There are no bus services suitable for tourists and bus services linking Mandav to
Dharampuri and Dhamnod (general and tourist special buses) need to be started.
11.7 Traffic management and circulation

Attempts at traffic management are only made during peak tourist season. The circulation pattern in the town
is confined to the 4 main spines: Jahaz Mahal road, Dhar road, Nilkanth road and Roop Mati road. Jama Masjid
junction is the main junction in the town. The town does not have a Mandi but there is a bus stand near Jama
Masjid. This junction hence, is a crucial junction in terms of traffic management. The weekly haat (Saturday
haat) is also held in this area. Hence, traffic congestion is a key issue here.
11.8 Intermediate public transport

There are no IPTs (Intermediate Public Transport) in the town. Cycles are given on rent to tourists. IPTs are
needed on immediate basis to link the peripheral villages to the main town, especially during school timings.
11.9 Parking requirements

Parking spaces have been provided near Jahaz Mahal, Roopmati Mahal, Neelkanth and Jama Masjid. There is
strong need for increasing the parking areas and arrangement for parking management during peak tourist
season. It is proposed that this problem be solved at a regional level taking Mandav as a part of the regional
tourist circuit.
Supply Gaps
More parking areas, traffic management plan, widening of roads and provision of pedestrian facilities are
needed for future development of the city. At present the town lacks access roads to a number of villages such
as Lal Bangla (700 seerhi; tourist spot), Lamba talab, Tipkiya road, Tarapur gate to Neelkanth Phata, 1000 bigha
population in Lalbagh; Kalakot plantation and Sakharam Bhai Gali in Ward 9. The present road length in
Mandav is around 28kms. Considering the standards for an environment friendly town, nearly 10 to 12% land
should be under transportation (4.2 sqkm @10% of 42.4sqkm). in case of Mandav, around 100sqm to 150 sqm
land is under transportation, which is much below standards is one considers the entire NP area. The main
town is spread over approximately 5sqkm, even for this the area under transportation is much below
standards and can be increased further, especially for provision of parking spaces.
73
2013
11.11 Issues
Transportation problem due to elevation and low demand. Trucks are not interested in carrying
commodities to Mandav as the demand is low and the fuel consumption is high due to the elevation. The
truck drivers ask for triple the rates and hence, cost of commodities to the tourists increases.
Road from Mandav to Maharashtra via Dharampuri is in poor condition. Dharmapuri road that links
Mandav to NH3 is kuchcha in parts and gets water logged during monsoons.
Resurfacing of internal city roads needed.
Lack of tourist bus facility.
No road and transport connectivity for villages
During peak season, the main Dhar road becomes congested and there is a pressing demand for parking
spaces.
11.12 SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Strategic location as a part of N-S link across
district
Proximity to Dhar and NH3
Double lane main city roads

2013
CHAPTER 12: ELECTRICITY, STREET LIGHTING AND FIRE FIGHTING

12.1 Existing situation of Street lights
Nearly 50% of the core town is covered by street lights with
the number of electric poles being 527. The peripheral
settlements that are rural in character have not been provided
with streetlights.
12.2 Fire service, vehicles and equipment for fire

fighting and Rescue operations
The town is not equipped with a fire station or fire fighter.
There are no appropriate vehicles and equipment for fire fighting and rescue operations. In case of fire, tractor
tanker is fitted with engine and used for extinguishing fire. Owing to the distance from nearest town and the
elevation, any outside help would take time to reach the town and since Mandav is a tourist town, provision of
a well equipped fire fighting system is needed.
12.3 Power generation and distribution

There is a 33 KV Substation at Mandav that gets supply from 132 KV EHV Substation at Bagdi through a 33 KV
line. According to information from the NP, there are about 600 electricity connections in the town but
according to data from MPEB, there are a total of 1828 connections in the town. There is a plan to provide 24
hr electricity supply to Mandav, in order to encourage it as a tourist destination but this has not been
implemented properly as yet. While the core town benefits from this provision to some extent, as the tourist
activity is focused there, the peripheral settlements within the NP have not been provided with adequate
electricity provisions yet. Presently, these areas are being supplied through low voltage supply lines which are
not even sufficient for domestic uses during night. Hence, during stakeholder interviews and first and second
stakeholder workshops, the villagers emphasized the need for provision of a 3 phase electricity provision to
enable running of pumps for irrigation.
The cables in Mandav are old and need replacement. Hence, an APDRP for Mandav is also needed.

2013
The distribution of connections across the 15 villages within the NP boundary clearly reflect that the core town
has the largest share of consumer connections while settlements such as Lamba Talab, Singodi have no
connections at all. Hence, there is a lot of inequity in terms of coverage in the core town and peripheral
settlements.
12.4 Comparative analysis with UDPFI, other guidelines and Present and Future Demand and
Supply Gaps
The UDPFI guidelines quote the standard demand for electricity as 2 KW per household for Delhi. Considering
the context of the Mandav, the demand is assumed at 0.3 KW per household. On this basis, the present
demand for 1821 HHs comes to 3198 KW. The current min and max peak load is 1 MW an
d 3 MW, that
is 1000 KW and 3000 KW respectively for Mandav (including Nalcha). Therefore, the maximum peak load at
present is comparable to the calculated present requirement. Future demand is calculated and listed in Table
12.4.

1065
The demand for electricity is projected as 1065 KW by 2035. Additional demand for electricity will be
generated due to the development of the town as a tourist destination, increasing the tourist season and
tourist stay in the town. According to the UDPFI Guidelines, there must be provision of 1 electric sub station
for 11 KV per 15,000 population as per UDPFI Guidelines. Hence, for the population of Mandav (10,659) the
one 11 KV sub station is sufficient as per standards.
UDPFI guidelines suggest 1 fire station or sub fire station within 1 to 3km for 2 lakh population. Currently the
town does not have any fire engine. Since the area of the NP is about 42 sq kms, more than one fire vehicles
are needed in the town, especially to cater to peripheral areas. As all the areas do not have access roads that
would permit fire engines to reach, alternative systems need to be devised such as longer hoses. Hence, it is
proposed that Mandav be provided with atelast 3 fire vehicles: one for the rural areas and 2 for the core town
and the tourist areas.
Presently, the town has 527 streetlights. Considering a total road length of 28km, the town should have 924
steetlights (@33SLs/km). The present coverage can hence, be placed at 57%.
12.5 SWOT Analysis

12.6 Issues
Electricity theft is an issue with 30-40%of the electricity being stolen. This can go upto 70% in rural areas
Neelkanth temple area has not been provided with a 3 Phase electricity connection as yet. The area is still
served by a single phase (v. low voltage) electricity connection.
The villagers require a 3 phase connection to run pumps and motors for irrigation.
Lack of fire fighting and rescue infrastructure; needs to be addressed urgently.
Increased use of renewables by developing wind farms, solar farms and biogas plants
Decentralisation of distribution of electricity and street lighting for peripheral settlement areas and core
area.
Need for provision of 3 phase electricity connection for villages on immediate basis
Need for provision of 3 fire fighting vehicles: one for the villages and 2 for the core town and tourist areas.
Use of LED based fixtures and automated switches.
Provision of solar street lights in public places (secured) to ensure safety during night time.
Provision of additional electricity supply to address demand due to tourist infrastructure needs and
activities such as sound and light shows in the evening.
APDRP needed for Mandav as cables in the town are very old (nearly 50 yrs old) and need replacement

CHAPTER 13: URBAN POOR AND THEIR ACCESSIBILITY TO BASIC SERVICES

13.1 Poverty in Town
Mandav Nagar Parishad conducted a survey of the
Below Poverty Level (BPL) population in Mandav in
2003-2004, according to which 1570 families and 6000
persons, that is 56.3% of the total population lives
below the poverty line (ILCSS Report and NP data).
Considering a growth of 20% over years, the present
BPL population can be placed at 1884 or 7197 persons
(approximately) accounting for 67% of the current population. During the second stakeholder consultation, it
was pointed out by the participants that the current BPL population of the town is around 60 to 75%. The
stakeholders also pointed out that only around 30% of the town population has been issued BPL cards.
The slum population of the town is 3,898. As per the NP, Ward no. 2, 13 and 14 are defined as slum wards.
Based on observations, it can be said that these wards are primarily rural wards with agriculture as the
economic base. The settlements in these areas are characteristic of village settlements and need to be
upgraded. It might not be appropriate to call these areas as slums and these areas can be termed as special
areas which need immediate attention in terms of infrastructural provision and housing upgradation. All
peripheral villages are more or less, similar in character and need immediate attention.
13.2 Separate information on BPL Population and Slum Population

As discussed above, the BPL population of the town stands at approximately 7197 persons (67% of total
population) whereas, the slum population stands at 3898 (@36% of the town population).
13.3 Slums in the Town and General Characteristics of Slums/Areas with urban poor
The slum areas in the town are in a poor condition and hardly have access to housing and infrastructure. There
are 2 categories of slum areas/ areas with urban poor in the town
Slum housing within core area
Villages in peripheral areas (special areas).
As discussed earlier, the peripheral villages cannot be termed as slums and need to be termed as special areas
and treated accordingly. Details of condition of some of the peripheral villages are listed below
Sagar Village
The village population comprises largely of people of Rajasthani origin who have migrated to Mandav in search
of livelihood. These people are primarily dependent on agriculture for livelihood. But since the area only has
one pond which dries out due to siltation, the villagers cannot grow more than one crop a year and hence,
males have to commute to neighbouring towns (like Pithampur, Indore and even to Rajasthan) to work as
82
2013
construction or agricultural labour on a daily basis. Those

living close to the pond can grow 2 crops a year. The
villagers dont have a source of drinking water and are
entirely dependent on the pond. The villagers have
pattas for the land on which their houses are made and
also own some livestock (cow, bull and chicken). Based
on consultations, the following provisions can be made
for the village:
In order to improve their quality of life,

desiltation of pond and development of more ponds needs to be undertaken so that these farmers
can grown 2 crops a year.
Need for provision of an Anganwadi closer to their village as they have to commute for 3 to 4 km to
get their children to the Anganwadi.
Rampura Gaon, Ward 5

This village comprises of around 30 families and owing to its location (close to the core town), the villagers
donot own agricultural land and are largely working as construction or manual labour or agricultural labour
(during monsoons @Rs. 100 to 150/day) in or around the town. Men commute to neighbouring towns (mainly
Gujri, Dhamnod, Sundrail and Dhar) for work and women work as agricultural labour in the town. Very few of
the villagers won agricultural land and all the villagers have pattas for their houses. Despite the high tourist
activity in the town, the villagers donot benefit from tourism. The women in the village work as agricultural
labour.
The villagers donot have water connections or handpump and are dependent on Kali Baori, a monument; but
during summers when this Baori dries out, the villagers have to commute long distances to get water. All
houses in the village cluster are kuccha and cannot be made pukka due to proximity to kali Baori (within 100m
radius). The villagers also expressed a need for provision of community or public toilets as they presently have
to resort to open defecation.
Many of the villagers are educated and still have to work as labour due to lack of opportunities. Villagers gave
preference to computer based education for their children which
Jhabri village
Jahbri village is one of the most remotely located villages in Mandav. It is located along the southern edge of
the town and does not even have an access road. The present access is through a kuccha rasta which is full of
large and small boulders and is not even walkable. The villagers are largely involved in agricultural and own
some livestock. The village had a pond which has dried out and is now used for agriculture after monsoons.
The water supply situation in the village is so poor that the villagers have to travel along the edge of a steep
ridge to Tipkiya Gufa to access water. There is no provision of sewage management, waste management or
83
2013
drainage. The waste is thrown in the open and open defecation is the only option available for the villagers.
The area needs to be provided with a road and water supply provision on immediate basis. The condition of
houses is also kuccha and these need to be upgraded. There is no electricity provision in the village.
Urban poor in core area
Most of the urban poor in core town work as daily wage labour and dont benefit from tourism in any way. The
core town also has a significant percentage of fishermen who have been dependent on the ponds for their
livelihood but with the drying up of ponds, are now having to resort to other means of livelihood like working
as manual labour in Dhar and Bagedi. The Majhis emphasized the need to revive all ponds in the town so that
pisciculture can be revived. At present, the fishing season is only limited to 4 months as the fishermen
introduce fish eggs (buy from Sundrail) in the ponds when the ponds fill up during monsoons and these fish
take upto 4 months to mature. Fish are sold in Dhar, Nimad, Dhamnod, Dharampuri and Kukshi and are in high
demand. The only pond in the region that retains water for most part of the year is the Malipura pond but this
pond has been reserved for fishing by Adivasis. The fishermen expressed concern over the need to revive Sagar
Talab and other ponds in the region. Excavation of ponds approved many times but no work has been
undertaken yet.
The urban poor in core area donot own agricultural land but have pattas for their houses. Most of these
houses are semi pukka and are typical of the housing stock in the town.
Tarapur village
The village is accessible by a kuccha road from Tarapur gate, on Dharampuri road. The village comprises of
clusters of kuccha houses and is served by the Tarapur pond and well. Owing to siltation, the pond and well dry
out during summers and the villagers have to commute 2km to the school to get water and sometimes, even
to the main town. NP tanker comes to the village to supply water but the quantity of water is so low that at
times the villagers send the tanker back. The villagers were also supposed to be provided with gas connections
but no work has been done in this regard. Krishi vibhag Gram sevaks dont give seeds now to the villagers as
there is no source of irrigation in the village.
The pond needs to be desilted and revived and the well needs to be deepened. A pipeline has already been
laid on Tarapur road and needs to be repaired and restarted after providing connection from Sagar
talab/Narmada. Catchment area of the pond and drainage channels to the pond need to be conserved. Farm
and village tourism would help increase the villagers income. Doodh talai talab on Dharampuri road also
needs Desiltation.

13.4 Location of Slums on Town Map
13.5 Status of Slums

There are 3 slum wards in the town and all these are notified slums. Most of the DUs in the town are kuccha /
semi pukka and have been allocated pattas
13.6 Land Ownership and Tenure Status

Most slum dwellers have pattas for their land.
13.7 Unidentified slums and homeless population/pavement dwellers

There are no unidentified slums or pavement dwellers in the town, except for a few near the bus stand. But
the condition of villages in Mandav is the worst and requires immediate attention.

13.8 Urban basic services in slums (in line with JNNURMs 7 point charter)
Details of provision of basic services in slum clusters, villages and area with urban poor have been given in the
sections above. Slum wards in the town are not slums, except in ward 2. These are villages which have come
under NP boundary but still have hutments, characteristic of rural lifestyle. The condition of infrastructure
provision in these areas is poor and they donot even have access to water supply and are dependent largely on
local ponds and wells for irrigation and water. After these sources dry up in summers, villagers have to
commute upto 6km to get water. The waste from these areas is not collected and they donot have any
drainage. The houses are kuccha hutments made of bamboo and thatch and dont have any HH toilets. Most
slum dwellers have ownership documents.

13.10 Comparative Analysis with UDPFI, CPHEEO guidelines and Present and future housing
demand
According to the NP, there are a total of about 1500 houses in the town out of which about 100 are pucca and
1400 are kuccha. Hence, the present housing shortage is 1400 DUs and that for 2035 is 3044 DUs. The town
has 7197 BPL persons accounting for 67% of the town population. It has been assumed that the % of BPL in the
town would decrease and the town would become slum free by 2035. Based on this assumption, the town
would need around 1373 DUs for urban poor by 2035.

13.11 SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Villages have been included in PN boundary and
can claim benefits
Opportunities
Promoting farm and village tourism as a
potential source of earning for the villagers
Promoting decentralized tourism with stake of
tribals
Employment generation
Better access and infrastructure provision
Weaknesses
Poor condition of housing and infrastructure in
peripheral villages
Have to travel long distances for water
Kuccha houses in all villages
No employment opportunity within town
No income for urban poor from tourism
Threats
So far, tourism development of Mandav and
poverty alleviation of inhabitants of Mandav
have been considered as 2 different topics. If
this trend continues, Mandav town would
continue to ignore its urban poor
13.12 Issues
Villages are secluded due to poor connectivity
Based on NP data, the BPL population for the town was nearly 57% (based on 2003/04 survey) but the
participants pointed out that the BPL population of the town at present is nearly 60 to 75%. Only around
30% of the town population has been issued BPL cards
Some of the villages have also been considered as slums. These should be treated as special areas with
immediate need for housing and infrastructure
A large % of BPL population does not have BPL cards
Poor access to Jhabri village and immediate need to revive pond in the village
All villages to be provided connectivity on priority basis
Ponds near villages to be revived
Water supply connection to villages from Sagar talab
Insitu redevelopment in slums
Increasing income generation of villagers from tourism
Provision of basic infrastructure in all villages and slums
87
2013
Based on consultation with stakeholders, the following options can be considered:

Economic activities
Infrastructure
Social
Infrastructure
Housing
Women can be trained in stitching, tailoring, papad making, etc. Women would
have to be formed into SHGs, provided adequate training and loans for this
purpose.
Increase income from tourism; Farm tourism and village tourism to be promoted
Green house farming can be initiated to increase earning
Need job opportunities for their children who are educated
Loan for small businesses needed: Sabzi thela, fruit thela, etc
Revival of pisciculture and animal rearing
Drip irrigation equipment manufacturing plant. Will facilitate distribution of
drip irrigation equipment. Sprinklers can also be promoted
The villagers only have access to 2 phase electricity and need to be provided with
3 phase electricity on an immediate basis.
Desiltation of ponds
Water supply provision from Sagar Talab through piped supply
Public toilets and community toilets
IPTs for transportation to village areas
Provision of wells/handpumps in each village cluster

Demographic and socio economic survey of slum dwellers
Upgradation of housing through grant/loan/subsidy conditional to construction of HH toilets and retention

of tenure for 20 years.
Drains and roads for village wards
Provision of decentralised infrastructure in the peripheral hamlets (Sagar, Rampura, Nandlalpur, Jamanya
and Jhabri villages)
MFIs (Micro Finance Institutions for Urban Poor)
Employment generation for tribals and Urban Poor
HHIs for women

2013
CHAPTER14: SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

14.1 Education
As per information from the NP, currently there are 15 primary schools, 1 middle school, 1 higher secondary
school and two tribal student hostels in the town. There is one Sanskrit school in the town. The nearest college
is located in Dhar. Consultations during kick off workshop
revealed that students have to commute 6km on a daily basis to
go to school from areas such as Tarapur village, which is a long
distance to be covered on foot. Consultations with villagers also
brought forth the need for computer based education and
technical education which can help their children get better jobs.
There are no vocational colleges in the town and there is scope
for tourism based vocational courses like guide training, hotel
management, etc. Though the villagers in the town are predominantly dependent on agriculture and livestock,
there is no provision for agricultural education and animal rearing education. The villages need to be provided
with decentralized educational facilities.
14.2 Health
As per the 2001 Census data, Mandav had 5 beds in medical
institutions per 10,000 population. This is the lowest number,
compared to other towns of the district (in comparison, Dhar city,
the number is 75 per 10,000 population). The town has a Primary
Health Care Centre with 6 beds. The closest hospital is in Nalcha
that is 10 kms away and since Mandav is located atop a plateau, the
route is through hilly terrain. Patients from Mandav are usually
referred to Dhar (20 km) for further treatment. The present PHC serves only as a preliminary first aid centre
and faces a shortage of doctors and staff. Since Mandav is a prominent tourist destination, the town should be
provided with adequate health facilities. The village areas have not been provided with any health facility and
need to commute to the core town (at least 2 hrs walking) to avail health facilities. Hence, decentralized
treatment facilities for villages are also needed. There are no veterinary facilities in the town although life
stock ownership in the town is high.
14.3 Sports and Recreation

There are 15 hotels and 1 dhaba in the town as per a statement from
the Nagar Parishad but as per the reconnaissance survey, there are
many eateries in the town. There is a need for additional
accommodation facilities to cater to various segments of travellers. The
town needs to be provided with more dormitories and dharamshalas
89
2013
for low end tourists. The town has no parks or cinema halls. There is no petrol pump in Mandav and hence,
black marketing of petrol is common. There are no greens and playgrounds for the town population and for
the villagers.
14.4 Comparison with UDPFI guidelines and CPHEEO Guidelines

Education
According to standards, the town has adequate educational facilities but considering the need for provision of
facilities for villagers and the needs for an educated population, the town needs to be provided with another
senior secondary school in village areas. In future, 2 more of these schools should be provided. The town also
needs to be provided with more vocational institutes, especially based on computer education.

As per standards, the town has adequate health and education facilities but based on consultations with
town population, the town needs to be provided with better facilities owing to its large area and its
significance as a tourist centre. The town should be provided with 1 senior secondary school for the villagers
and a vocational college for the town (esp. computer courses). By 2035, the town needs to be provided with
another senior secondary school for main town and one for the villages. Another vocational college can also
be set up. In terms of health facilities, the existing PHC needs to be upgraded to a 30 bed CHC with provision
for emergency facilities. A CHC needs to be provided in the village areas. By 2035, another PHC should be
provided in the villages.
14.5 SWOT Analysis

CHAPTER 15: ENVIRONMENT

15.1 Flora and Fauna
Mango, khirni, tamarind and banyan trees grow along the banks of natural lakes and ponds. The baobab
(Adansoni digitata) tree is unique to this area. It has a swollen trunk and leafless branches from which fruits
hang like pendants. The tree bears leaves only during the
rains. Locally it is called Khurasani Imli and is supposed to
have been introduced into Mandav from Africa, during
the reign of Mahmud Khalji (1436-69), when Malwa had
close trade relations with the continent (Yazdani, 2000,
p.2). The fauna used to consist of tigers, panthers, bear,
deer, monkeys and numerous birds but depleting forest
cover has led to near disappearance of many of these
species. A poisonous species of lizard known as Guhaira
and the black cobra are frequently spotted in the area.
15.2 Environmental Concerns

Environment is a key factor in Mandav as environment is directly related to tourism and other economic
activities in the town. The town is located atop a plateau and overlooks a lush green valley, which is drained by
a small river. Along the South, the land is surrounded by rolling hillocks and also overlooks Narmada River.
Most local tourists visit the town during Monsoons to enjoy the lush greenery of the plateau and the hillocks.
The flora in the region also provides a source of income to the residents.
But in the past few years, forest land is being cleared illegally due to lack of initiative by related government
departments. Illegal felling in the forest lands of the region for agriculture and settlements (reportedly, pattas
have been allocated to villagers on forest land which has further aggravated the problem) has led to
environmental implications which include high erosion levels, siltation of ponds, increased runoff and lower
water retention capacity. Existing ponds are getting choked due to deforestation and related siltation. The
green cover in the valley is also reducing due to afforestation and this can adversely impact tourism to the
town. In order to restore the balance, afforestation and construction of more ponds can be undertaken in the
region. All felling in the NP limits and surrounding area needs to be stopped immediately and completely.
Plantation of fruit bearing trees and flowering trees can also increase tourism and livelihood opportunities in
the region and afforestation can provide the following employment opportunities:
Tribals grow fruits/vegetables like jadibootis, salam misri and Dhuli Musli which fetch good prices and
have a good demand but due to poor condition of farmers, these crops are on a decline. Incentives are
needed to revive these crops.
Plantation of Dhavra gond can be promoted in the region.
Mahua, Charoli, Tendu and Bamboo trees can be planted to initiate SSIs in the region.
94
2013
Seetaphal, Khirni and Khurasani Imli are fruits for which Mandav is known and plantation of these
trees/ plants needs to be promoted
The khirni trees are reducing due to deforestation and need to be planted and conserved as these take a
long time to grow.
A biodiversity park can also be set up in the valley areas to attract tourists and to conserve the environment.
Wildlife can also be introduced in this biodiversity park to increase the tourism potential.
15.3 Pollution Levels
Air: Air pollution is not a concern due to very low motorised vehicle ownership in the town. Air quality
may be measured during peak tourist season when there is an influx of motorised tourist vehicles is high.
SPM content is slightly high near the bus stop.
Water: There is threat of pollution of water bodies due to garbage dumping and open defecation. Existing
ponds in the area are getting choked due to deforestation and related siltation. The silt at the base of
ponds is very fertile and hence, ponds should be desilted and the silt should be spread over agricultural
fields.
Soil: As regular maintenance of the septic tanks is not undertaken, leachette from the ttank can cause soil
and groundwater pollution.
15.4 City Green Spaces

There are no organised green spaces in the town.
15.5 Water Front Development and Conservation

The town has a number of natural water bodies in the form of lakes and ponds. Some of the water bodies are
used by local population for fishery and as source of water for various purposes. Any development of the
water fronts must be done carefully with the understanding of the relationship that the communities share
with the water bodies and after study of the activity pattern.
Sagar talab is the main pond in the town and Malipura pond is located along the foothills. Sagar talab is
presently being used as a tourist attraction, though on a small scale. Some boating facility has been provided
here. Waterfront development along Sagar talab is possible but would have to be undertaken with due
consideration to environment. This is also important because this pond acts as a source of water supply to the
town.
15.6 Existing environmental regulations

There is an existing Forestry Act known as the Madhya Pradesh Public Forestry Act 2001, under which the
forest management plan for forested and plantation areas will be made, approved, implemented and
monitored. The M P Public Forestry Rule 2002 under this act will guide the proposed management plan and
95
2013
will enable landowners and gram panchayats/sabhas to take responsibility for certain forested areas. Other
guidelines applicable to Mandav are:
Wild Life (Protection) Act 1972: For effectively protecting the wild life and to control poaching,
smuggling and illegal trade in wildlife and its derivatives. The objective is to provide protection to the
listed endangered flora and fauna and ecologically important protected areas.
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974: For maintaining or restoring
wholesomeness of water bodies. Environmental Protection Act, 1984: Umbrella Act for all
environmental parameters
Municipal solid waste rules, 2000 for safe management and disposal of Municipal waste
15.7 SWOT analysis

Strengths
Nearly 70% forest land
Indigenous species of trees and herbs
A number of natural and manmade water
bodies
Opportunities
Afforestation with indigenous species
Revival of waterbodies desilting and cleaning
Removal of encroachment on forest land
Catchment conservation of water bodies
Weakness
Encroachment and distribution of pattas on on
forest land
Depletion of forests due to illegal felling of
trees
Threats
Environmental degradation as the carrying
capacity of the town is exceeded
15.8 Issues
Distribution of pattas in forest areas is a major issue resulting in deterioration of forest cover.
Forest land is being cleared illegally due to lack of initiative by related government departments and is
leading to depletion of forest cover.
There is an urgent need to stop deforestation and plant more trees.
Desilting of ponds needs to be undertaken.
Water bodies suffering from siltation and eutrophication need desiltation, catchment conservation and
conservation of drainage channels

Gardens should be developed in the town. These gardens should be handed over to the community or
official agencies for maintenance.
Baories need to be revived and handpumps need to be provided in tribal areas
Ponds are needed to restore water balance in the region.
Encroachments on forest land should be removed. Forest land being cleared for construction of houses
and farms.
Large scale afforestation needs to be undertaken on forest land
New trees for Khurasani imli need to be planted and since this tree takes around 20 to 25 years to mature
and needs a lot of care till maturity, the planters need to be secured by providing tree guards around
them
Fuel and fodder trees need to be planted so that tribals dont have to rely on the forests for fuel and
fodder. Grazing grounds should also be created to reduce encroachment on forest land.
Action Plan
Integrated Environment management Plan
Formation of Environment Cell within NP
Large scale afforestation on forest land and non forest land- Joint Forest Management.
Fuel and fodder tree plantation for tribals - social forestry
Road side green buffer - urban forestry
Conservation of lakes and ponds and their catchment area within NP boundary and at foot hill (including
SAGAR TALAB AND Mallipura Talab)
Plantation of Khurasani Imli trees: unique to Mandav
Allocation of pattas to villagers on forest land to be regulated
Catchment Conservation of Tarapur Pond

CHAPTER 16: HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION

16.1 Identification of Heritage Structures/Areas
Mandav is home to India's finest examples of Islamic architecture, clinging to the edges of a ravine-riddled 20sq-km plateau overlooking the hazy plains. With-in this well-defended plateau is a wealth of palaces, pleasure
pavilions, mansions, tombs and mosques. The hill range is endowed with very attractive natural scenery, which
is at its best during the rainy season, when on all sides, it is clothed in green with a number of brooks and
torrents, rushing down into the ravine winding about its sides below; the beauty of which is further enhanced
by about a dozen lakes and ponds interspersed on its top.
There are a lot of un-identified and un-restored structures in Mandav. If they could be properly identified and
catalogued, and the water bodies inside the structures could be cleaned, these structures have a good tourism
potential.
The ancient hill fort of Mandav has inscriptional evidence dating back to AD 555. The rock cut caves, namely,
Lohani and Sat Kothari, are the earliest and rarer type of architecture amongst the over 60 structural
monuments. The important ones are located in three groups, known as:
1) Royal Complex
2) Hoshangh Shahs Tomb
3) Roopmatis Pavilion
Roopmati pavilion
Jahaz Mahal
While numerous monuments from various periods in history spread over the hill top, some of the significant
ones are listed as follows:
Gateways: The 45 km parapet of walls that encircles Mandu is punctuated by 12 gateways. Most notable
of these is the Delhi Darwaza, the main entrance to the fortress city, for which the approach is through a
series of gateways well fortified with walled enclosures and strengthened by bastions such as the Alamgir
and Bhangi Darwaza, through which the present road passes. Rampol Darwaza, Jehangir Gate and Tarapur
Gate are some of the other main gateways.
98
2013
Jahaz Mahal: This 120 mt long "Ship Palace" built between the two artificial lakes, Munj Talab and Kapur
Talab is an elegant two storeyed palace. With its open pavilions, balconies overhanging the water and
open terrace, Jahaz Mahal is an imaginative recreation in stone of a royal pleasure craft. Viewed on
moonlit nights from the adjoining Taveli Mahal, the silhouette of the building, with the tiny domes and
turrets of the pavilion gracefully perched on the terrace, presents an unforgettable spectacle. There are
some historians who believe the Jahaz Mahal was built by Sultan Giasuddin as his Harem Mahal. Whereas
there are some who believe it was the summer resort of Malwa King Munjdeb.
Hindola Mahal: Sultan Ghiyasud-din Khilji built the Hindola Mahal, or the Swinging Palace. It got this name
from its sloping walls which looked like the trestle supports of a swing. It was a great audience hall of the
King of Mandu. There are several unidentified buildings to the west of the Hindola Mahal which still bear
traces of their past grandeur. Amidst these is an elaborately constructed well called Champa Baoli which
is connected with underground vaulted rooms where arrangements for cold and hot water were made.
Other places of interest in this enclave are Dilawar Khan's Mosque, the Nahar Jharokha (tiger balcony),
the two large wells the Ujali (bright) and Andheri (dark) Baolis and Gada Shah's Shop and House, all worth
a visit.
Tomb of Hoshang Shah: Retains the masculinity and majesty of the Afgan ruler. The white marble tomb is
a product of mixed architectural and cultural blend of Hindu, Muslim, Afghan styles. It has a beautiful
dome, marble lattice work, porticos, courts and towers. Hoshang Shah started constructing his own tomb
but it was completed by his son five years after his death in 1440. In 1659, Shajahan visited the tomb and
was amazed by its beauty. He had sent his architects to study the design of and draw inspiration from the
Tomb. Among them was Ustad Hamid, who was also associated with the construction of Taj Mahal.
Jami Masjid: Inspired by the great mosque of Damascus, the Jami Masjid was conceived on a grand scale,
with a high plinth and a huge domedporch projecting in the centre, the background dominated by similar
imposing domes with the intervening space filled up by innumerable domes. One is struck by the huge
proportions and the stern simplicity of its construction. Its construction was started by Hoshang and
completed by Mahmud Khalji in 1454 A.D. The great court of the mosque is enclosed on all sides by huge
colonnades with a rich and pleasing variety in the arrangement of arches, pillars, number of bays, and in
the rows of domes above.
Roopmati's Pavillion: Roopmati Pavilion was built by Baj Bahadur. The pavilion has an Afghan style of
architecture. It has two Chabutara, or high tombs. They were built in order to watch and observe
movements of the enemy. However Roopmati, the beloved wife of baj Bahadur used the pavillion to
worship and perform her rituals the Narmada (Mokshoda) river, flowing far away (26 km) at Nimar valley,
from the 365 metre high mahal. The ambience at the pavillion is soothing. The sunset and the moonlit
night add more to the beauty.
There are many agencies involved in the heritage and tourism development of Mandav and few Conservation
and restoration works are also ongoing; but due to lack of funds and coordination between various agencies,
99
2013
Mandav is still an under developed city in terms of heritage and tourism Infrastructure. The agencies related
to heritage conservation, management and promotion are as follows:
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI): ASI provides protection to cultural heritage all over the country. There
are 61 ASI protected monuments in Mandav including gates, palaces, baodis, tanks, tombs, mosques, caves
and others, as listed in Table 16.1.

Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India: Under the Capacity Building for Service Providers Scheme (CBSP), the
Ministry of Tourism gives financial assistance for the training of SC/ST people in the field of hospitality, to
encourage tourism (3-6 month training programmes).
Department of Tourism: The tourism policy of MP Tourism Department provides exemption in commercial
taxes and entertainment tax; and availability of government land for tourism projects. In this endeavour, the
main aim is to promote tourism as an industry to ensure employment generation along with tourism
development, with stress laid on encouraging private investment. Through the Department the state
government has sanctioned Rs. 5 Crore as a part of Destination Development Fund for the town.
Other organisations active in the field are the District Archaeological Association, Dhar and Indian National
Trust for Nature, Arts and Heritage (INTACH). The Group of Monuments of Mandu are also a part of the
UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List of India since 1998. While the nomination process for Mandav is not
active as of now, it is imperative that any development decisions are taken keeping in mind the potential of
the town in being declared a world heritage site.
16.2 Existing Status of Heritage Buildings

The Hoshang Shah Tomb, Rani Roopmati Pavilion and Royal Complex at Mandu are protected by the
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). These are ticketed monuments managed by the ASI. Besides the
protected monuments, a number of structures are lying in a state of neglect. Although the monuments are
well maintained, the context around it has not been preserved. The Chappan Mahal that is under the State
Archaeology has been converted to museum.
16.3 Existing Regulations/ Heritage Guidelines

The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act 1958 (No 24 of 1958), established by the
Archaeological Survey of India, is responsible for the protection of all national level heritage sites in India. The
Amendment to the Act i.e. The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and
Validation) Act, 2010 further ensures the protection of surroundings of the property. According to rule 32 of
the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Rules 1959 and the 1992 Notification, every
area, beginning at the limit of the protected area or the protected monument, as the case may be, and
extending to a distance of one hundred metres in all directions shall be the prohibited area, in which no
102
2013
construction activity of any kind is permitted. Every area, beginning at the limit of prohibited area in respect of
every ancient monument and archaeological sites and remains, declared as of national importance under
sections 3 and 4 and extending to a distance of two hundred metres in all directions shall be the regulated
area, where repair of structures, modifications and new construction can be undertaken only with permission
from the competent authority i.e. the National Monuments Authority as per amendment of the Act in 2010.
This single Central Level Act with its Amendment in 2010 ensures complete protection of the properties and
their surroundings up to 300 metres from the property boundary.
The MP Department of Archaeology was established in 1956 with the objective to safeguard and protect the
heritage monuments in Madhya Pradesh. For the preservation of Ancient and Historical Monuments and
Archaeological Sites and Remains; and for the regulation of excavation of archaeological sites, Government of
India passed the Madhya Pradesh Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1964. The
Act was further amended in 1970. Under the Act, the Madhya Pradesh Ancient Monuments and
Archaeological Sites and Remains Rules, 1975 were formulated. The Act
gives protection to ancient
monuments that are defined as being of historical, archaeological or artistic interest and has been in existence
for not less than 100 years (as per the the 1970 amendment, prior to which it was not less than 50 years). The
protection can include the remains of such a monument, the site of such a monument, such proportion of
land as may be required for fencing or covering in or otherwise preserving the monument, and the means of
access to, and convenient inspection of such monument. For the preservation of amenities of protected
monuments, the State Government is enabled to notify the area comprising or adjacent to the site of the
monuments as the controlled area. The State Government can prohibit or restrict any construction, erection
or execution of buildings, structures and other works within the controlled area or the alteration or extension
of any such buildings, structures or works that may materially affect their external appearance. The
Government can also regulate the external appearance of buildings, structures and other works in the
controlled area.
MP also has a State Eco and Adventure Tourism Policy, 2001; and a heritage policy which was formulated in
2002. A Comprehensive Heritage Policy is also being prepared (presently in draft stage).
16.4 Heritage Issues

th
With associations from the 6 century AD, the site can also be explored as a
source of archaeological evidence. It is imperative that the built heritage is
documented and listed and addressed at the local body level. The culture and
built heritage of the local population also needs to be studied so that the values
imbibed in these may not be wiped out in the name of development of the
town.
Traditional rural character of settlements and the medieval period

architecture it is important to deal with the issue of if and how
these should coexist.
103
2013
It is said that the fortified town was inhabited by a population of 9 lakh historically. While not all listed
monuments are in a good state of preservation, with their adjacent areas encroached upon, there are a
number of un listed historic structures above as well as below the ground lying neglected and unidentified.
Excavations for new construction undertaken in the past have resulted in finding of red soil that is indicative of
a layer of historic structures below the ground. In such an event, construction work is stopped by the ASI.
Hence, it is important that the local population is made aware of the wealth of heritage and involved in the
heritage management process so that they identify with the heritage as a resource and not a liability that is
hindering the growth of the town.
16.5 Tourism Potential of the Town

Mandav is a popular heritage tourism destination at the regional and national level. According to the NP,
nearly 5 lakh tourists visit Mandav each year, out of which about 15,000 are foreign tourists from Britain,
Holland, Turkey, United States of America, Canada and some others. On the other hand, data for 2007-2010
from the MP Tourism Department, states that the total number of tourists visiting Mandav have ranged from
around 4.1 lakh in 2007 to 7.6 lakh in 2010, with a decreasing %age of international tourists from 1.8 % in 2007
to 0.9% in 2010. The dropping number of international tourists may be attributed to the lack of appropriate
tourist facilities, good quality accommodation, physical infrastructure and interpretation of the heritage
resources. There are only three registered tourist guides in the town. It is important to ensure that the guides
are trained to communicate authentic information to the visitors. Special guides or audio guide systems may
be required in different languages for the international tourists.

Tourist season in Mandav spreads over 4 months from Monsoons to Jan/Feb. Maximum tourist traffic to the
town is in August. During Monsoons (from July to September), mostly Gujarati and local tourists visit Mandav
to enjoy the lush green view of the valley and rolling hills. During winters (October to Jan/Feb), mostly
International tourists visit the town. Most of the tourists coming to Mandav dont spend more than 3 or 4
hours in the town. It is important to extend the tourist season from 4 to 8 months and also increase the stay of
the tourists in the town.
An annual music and dance festival is organised in Mandav during the winter period, to attract visitors. The
festival is clubbed with activities such as adventure sports. Such initiatives need encouragement and may be
expanded, though these need to be supported by appropriate infrastructure and facilities for the visitors. The
town has a dominant tribal population (81%) residing here through generations. The tribal population has a
distinct living heritage music, dance, arts, crafts and traditional knowledge systems about the indigenous
fauna. There is an attempt to link the tribal performing arts to tourism by including their performances in the
upcoming annual music and dance festival. Such opportunities can be extended to integrate other tribal arts
and crafts. The natural heritage and unique topography of the town presents opportunities for ecotourism and
adventure sports. This potential can be developed further.
The accommodation facilities in the town include 2 MP Tourism hotels, 2 NP rest houses, 2 dharamshalas (1
Jain, 1 Hindu) and 5 small private hotels. The Jain Dharamshala attached to the Jain temple is at a prime
location but is available only to Jain visitors.
District
Archaeology
Association
and
State
Archaeology Department took the initiative of setting

up a museum for archaeological antiquities as well as
tribal cultural artifacts at Chhappan Mahal (16
th
century mausoleum). Before the setting up of this

museum, this monument was restored to its original
form. In the four galleries of the museum, Drishyika,
Mandapika, Aranyika and Poorvika, an attempt has
105
2013
been made to represent the invaluable historical heritage of Dhar district dating from Stone Age to the 20
th
century. This heritage includes the one and a half millennium old Bagh cave frescos, stone age relics, Bhil
culture, the glory of King Bhoj and Dharanagari, the acme of the Sultans of Malwa, the immortal love of
Roopmati and Baz Bahadur and the martyrdom of Rana Bakhtawar Singh.
A fossil museum Ashmadha (Literally Seated in stone) has also very shortly been thrown open. A showroom
Roopayan has been started to cater to demand of the tourists for exclusive and exotic art and craft indigenous
to the region. Spardha, an adventure point providing the entire range from trekking, rappelling, skating, gear
biking to TT, Pool or Badminton is also proposed. There is a mobilization of funds of over Rs. 150 million from
the District administration.
Mandav is on the UNESCO Tentative World Heritage List of India, since 1998. It appears as a prominent
destination on the World Tourism map and measures to preserve its beauty, restore its monuments and
increase its tourism potential are needed. There is a need to devise a tourism plan for the city and highlight the
tourism potential of the town that may include the provision of extra accommodation, parking, signage,
training of guides, appropriate interpretation and information facilities for the visitors, encroachment removal
and development of picnic sites. The town lacks an information/orientation and interpretation centre. The
potential of the town is presently not being explored to its full extent. But at the same time it is important that
the heritage resources of the town do not suffer a negative impact as a result of the increase in visitor
numbers. Innovative models such as the dispersed hotel concept can be use in Mandav where the temporary
(tents) or hutments can act as dispersed accommodation with the front of the house, back of the house and
hotel facilities centralized. This can be applied on a public private partnership model with active participation
of the local population, hence enable them to benefit from the tourism industry.
16.6 Possibility of Tourism Circuits at the Regional Level

Mandav is already a part of tourism circuits in the state of Madhya Pradesh. How and to what extent the
circuits need to be strengthened and promoted further must be analysed to ensure that heritage tourism is
sustainable in the long term, without any damage to the physical and cultural heritage of the place.
106
2013
Figure 16.3: Tourist circuits in MP, Source: MP State Tourism Development Corporation Ltd.
The development of regional tourist circuits requires strengthening of the regional linkages in terms condition
of roads, transportation (tourist buses), better tourist accommodation and interpretation at these
destinations. The current circuit links Mandav with Ujjain, Indore, Omkareshwar and Maheshwar. Circuits can
be developed in the immediate vicinity of Mandav linking Nalcha that has heritage significance (group of state
protected structures), Budhi Mandav (archaeological site) and other such tribal and rural settlements. This can
help increase length of stay of the tourists with in the town. At a regional level, Mandav has strong potential to
be linked with Dharampuri (to south), Dhar and Bagh Caves along with Ujjain, Indore, Omkareshwar and
Maheshwar. This can take place through improved connectivity to the NH3 and better roads all across with
Dhamnod as a tourist accommodation hub.
16.7 Comparative analysis with UDPFI guidelines

Physical infrastructure provision for tourists will need to be provided as per the UDPFI guidelines. The
constraint on land utilisation due to presence of historic fabric above and below the ground and 70% forest
land pose the need for innovative model for tourist accommodation provision that may not be as per usual
standards.

Cleaning and renewing existing lakes and lake beds and possibly, historic water channels.
There is a need to set up a cultural heritage interpretation center with multimedia presentations and
prepare and disseminate heritage information on history, architecture, and culture to local people and
tourists.
Guides in Mandav donot have licences. NP can issue licences to these guides. This will increase the income
of guides and can also be a source of earning for the NP

CHAPTER 17 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

17.1 Introduction
The institutional setup in a city involves various stakeholders viz; urban local bodies, cooperatives, private
sector, etc. These institutions perform their role in specific areas defined by the government. The municipal
bodies (urban local bodies) are vested with a long list of functions delegated to them by the state governments
under the municipal legislation. These functions broadly relate to public health, welfare, regulatory functions,
public safety, public works, development activities and ULBs are also responsible for the provision and
maintenance of basic infrastructure and services in cities and towns. Apart from the Nagar Parishad there are
Parastatal and State Level Agencies which work towards the development of the town. With the incorporation
th
of the 74 amendment, the role of parastatals such as Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) has been
reduced substantially. Responsibility for planning, extension and day to day service provision within municipal
limits now rests with the municipal staff.
17.2 Institutions and Organisations

Nagar Parishad, Mandav
The Nagar Parishad, Mandav was established on August 14, 1996 and Mandav has been classified as a Class II
town. Earlier it was functioning as Special Area Development Authority (SADA) formulated on May 27, 1978.
The 15 member municipal council is led by a Chairman, earlier directly elected by the people. Day to day
business administration is led by the Chief Municipal Officer (CMO), an officer from the State Municipal
Services (Executive cadre). The CMO is responsible for implementation of municipal councils decisions. The
key municipal departments include: Health, PHE and Revenue and Accounts. But owing to the High Court
ruling for want of more tribal representation in NP, the town till recently, did not have a Municipal President
or Councilors and the town was jointly governed by SDM/Tehsildar and CMO. This limited the involvement of
public in the functioning of the town. Elections to the Council were recently conducted and the NP council has
been constituted in Feb, 2012.
Mandav Nagar Parishad has a sanctioned strength of 27 employees and all the staff positions are filled. The
Municipality is responsible for provision of basic services, namely water supply, sanitation, street lighting and
maintenance of roads, parks and recreational facilities. The municipality is also responsible for planning and
sanctioning housing plans and layouts. The NP Mandav owns the following properties, vehicles and
equipment:
Vishranti Bhawan (Rest House) on Main Chauraha 8 rooms
Rain Basera Bhawan (Guest House) in Ward No. 3 4 rooms
Staff Quarters 10 rooms in Ward No. 3
1 Store Room in Ward No. 3
1 Office in Ward No. 3
1 Water Supply Tank in Ward No. 5
111
2013
Malipura Pump House
Sumpwell House
Pump House Sagar Talab
17 Ponds
1 Door to Door solid waste collection vehicle (Force)
2 tractors, 1 trolley, 4 large tankers and 5 small tankers.
Public Works Department

The Main activities of the department are Construction and Maintenance of Buildings, Roads, flood control
works etc. The department is headed by the Engineer in chief as head of department with 9 Zonal Chief
Engineers. PWD is responsible for maintenance and construction of State level roads. All the roads that
connect Mandav, that is the SH 31, road from SH31 at Lunehra to Mandav via Nalcha and Kalibaodi, going on
to Dharampuri further south, Manawar to the west and Dhamnod to the east come under the Dhar Division of
PWD. Another road that connects Mandav directly to the SH 31 at Gujri and hence the NH3 also comes under
the PWD. The town does not have a PWD office but is managed by the Dhar office.
Directorate of Town & Country Planning

The Directorate of Town & Country planning is governed by MP Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam 1973 and
rules prepared thereunder, e.g. MP Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Niyam 1975 and MP Bhumi Vikas Niyam 1984.
The main functions are: preparation of Town Development Plan, Review, Evaluation and Modification of
existing Development Plan, Preparation of Regional Development Plan, Monitoring and Enforcement of
various schemes such as Integrated Development Plan of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT) and Urban
Infrastructure Development scheme for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT), Control on unauthorized
development in towns and functions of State Nodal Agency for National Urban Information System Scheme.
112

CHAPTER 18: MUNICIPAL FINANCE

18.1 Introduction
The Nagar Palika Parishad of Mandav has been successful in securing financial resources to meet the growing
needs of the city. In spite of the increasing pressure of population and increased demand for the basic civic
services, the available income is able to meet its requirement and hence the financial position is quite stable.
The NP receives most of its income through transfers from higher level of governments in the form of either
Grants or Centrally Sponsored Schemes. The own revenue (tax and non-tax) generates lesser income than
transfers from higher level of governments (Centre and State). This decreases the autonomy, functional and
financial, of Mandav Nagar Palika. This chapter endeavors to examine the present status of finances of Mandav
NPP. A detailed analysis is given in the following sections.
18.2 Revenue Account / Financial Position

For the period of five years under consideration, there has been a surplus for all the years indicating the
stability of the financial position of the Nagar Palika of Mandav (See Table 18.1 and Figure18.1). The surplus
available can be used for various much needed development measures. The increase in recent years is largely
due to increase in government transfers.

18.3 Revenue Composition

The Nagar Palika Parishad of Mandav draws its income from two sources. One is its own revenue and other is
transfers from higher level of governments (centre and state). The own revenue comprises of tax and non-tax
sources where as transfers consist of revenue transferred from centre, in the form of devolution of funds from
Central Finance Commission (12th FC) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS). The devolution from State
Finance Commission and state schemes also form a part of transfers. The details of revenue composition are
presented in table 18.2 and graphical presentation in Figure 18.2 below.
During the study period, the contribution from tax revenue has increased significantly from 35.57 lakhs to
80.43 lakhs. But the percentage contribution has changed from 35% to just 39.5%. This is due to the sharp
increase in income from transfers from 31 lakhs to 117.48 lakhs over the 5 years. In Madhya Pradesh, the
117
2013
compensation in lieu of Octroi is treated

t
as part of own revenue. This is true for all the ULBs in the state,
including Mandav. Contribution of non-tax
n
revenue has declined from 34% to 2.5%.
The contribution of transfers in tottal revenue remains the highest and the percentagee is increasing over the
years. The details of revenue compo
osition and related trends are indicated in table 18.2 and
a figure 18.2 below.

18.5 Key Financial Indicators

The key financial indicators for finance are:
Surplus/ deficit account

Revenue generation from tax and non tax sources
Revenue generation from Transfers: This is a critical indicator as the SFC and CFC transfers can follow
variable patterns after the first phase. This indicator also suggests the extent of financial autonomy of
the NP.
18.6 Major Observations
Financial position of Mandav NPP is quite stable and it has enough surplus to promote development
in required fields. Increase in income from own revenue has been lower than revenue under
transfers, indicating a decline in fiscal autonomy of NPP.
Income from tax source is more than non-tax sources, which is a positive trend.
In terms of tax sources, Octroi compensation, Heritage Deposit & Tax on Vehicles are major
contributors.
The major non-tax contributors are the real estate related sources Building rent & Night Shelters. The
next major contributor is market Fee & lake lease.
Under transfers, major contributors are grant for basic facilities followed by grants from State Finance
th
Commission & 12 Finance Commission.
In terms of expenditure, a major share of expenditure is incurred on Public Construction & General
Administration. Expenditure on Grants and Public Education accounts is nil & therefore the
expenditure under these heads needs to be increased.
It was found that in some cases, the total under certain heads of the Municipal budget was not
accurate. Hence, in such cases, the sum of components was considered as final.

CHAPTER 20: MUNICIPAL REFORMS

This section of the report gives the status of reforms: Optional and Mandatory; which are required to be
implemented by the NP. The ULBs must comply with these reforms in order to access funding under IHSDP and
UIDSSMT.
th
1. Implementation of the 74 Constitutional Amendment Act

For effective decentralization of governance, implementation of 74
th
Constitutional Amendment Act is
required. The table below shows the status of implementation of the Act. Until recently, due to a High Court
ruling, Mandav was being governed jointly by the CMO and SDM; and the Municipal Council had been
suspended. But elections to the Council were held in January 2011 and a new Council, headed by a Municipal
President is now in place.

Reservation of seats for women, SC & ST
Yes
Constitution of District planning committees (Zila Yojna Samiti)
NA
Constitution of Metropolitan planning committees
NA
Incorporation of Schedule 12 into the State Municipal Act
Yes
2. City Planning Functions

States/ULBs are required to undertake certain reforms in the area of city planning, with an objective of
assigning city planning functions to the elected ULBs. Mandav NP is only involved in the formulation of City
Development Plan and provision of building permissions. The ULB is responsible for implementation of town
planning proposals within the Municipal limits but owing to slow pace of development and interventions by
ASI and other departments, Master Plan for the town has not been implemented yet. The ULB has been
actively involved in City planning through the CDP
3. Public Disclosure Law
The NP Budget is formally passed every year by President in council (a 5 member committee headed by the
Municipal President). After approval from this council, the budget is then put in front of the Parishad (Council)
for approval. The NP budget is not published but an official press note for the budget is passed/published.
There is no provision for a formal public scrutiny of the Municipal Budget except for annual approval by
Parishad. Apart from this, Municipal budget can be produced on demand under Right to Information (RTI). The
Nagar Parishad also produces explanations related to budget, as and when asked for, by other Government
Departments.
126
2013
4. Community Participation Law

States/cities are required to undertake reforms in Community Participation, with the objective of
institutionalizing citizen participation as well as introducing the concept of the Area Sabha in urban areas. The
larger objective is to involve citizens in municipal functions, e.g. setting priorities, budgeting provisions, etc.
Community Participation Law refers to appropriate provisions that need to be made in the state-level
municipal statute(s) for the establishment of such a 3- or 4-tiered structure. These enactments will also need
to ensure clear definition of functions, duties and powers of each of these tiers, and provide for the
appropriate devolution of funds, functions and functionaries, as may be decided by the State Government.
Under the purview of Community Participation Law, a hearing is conducted every Tuesday in the NP where
th
citizens can come with their complaints and grievances. Ward Councilors elected under the 74 CAA are the
elected representatives for each ward and are responsible for voicing citizen concerns. Other than this, citizens
are free to visit the NP to register complaints or give suggestions.
4. E-governance
For transparent administration, quick services, effective MIS and general improvement in service delivery,
reforms in e-governance are required to be undertaken by the states/cities. The types of services covered by Egovernance applications are:
1.
Registration of Births and Deaths
2.
Public Grievance Redressal
3.
Property Tax Management, including records mgmt
4.
Municipal Accounting System
5.
Works Management System
6.
E--procurement
7.
Personnel Management, i.e. personnel information system
8.
Payment of Property Tax, Utility Bills and Management of Utilities that come under the ULBs.
9.
Building plan approval
NP is in the process of undertaking the E governance reform and has 1 Computer. Around 2 to 3 of the staff
members in the NP are computer literate, including a computer operator. Some of the NP data is available in
digital form. The digitization of spatial data is yet to be undertaken. Accounts related information is not
available in digital format yet. None of the above functions are being undertaken through E governance yet.
Only the recent lok sewa guarantee scheme is being operated online. Under this scheme registration for a few
schemes like provision of water supply connections, ration cards, Samajik suraksha pension and Rashtriya
Pariwar Sahayata pension, kshramik nijoyan yojna are being managed through online entries.
5. Municipal Accounting
UIDSSMT requires the municipalities funded by them to adopt double-entry accrual principles for accounting
on the basis of National Municipal Accounting Manual (NMAM). This system has been introduced as the
single entry system suffers from the following flaws:
127
2013
1.
Full picture of Assets & Liabilities are readily not available in one statement.
2.
Inadequate managerial attention, e.g. on speedier collection of receivables due to lack of information
or delayed information.
3.
Inadequate cash management. (several inoperative bank accounts)
4.
Expenses did not match revenues for the period making determination of surplus/deficit for the
period a difficult task.
5.
Certain capital expenditures treated as revenue items e.g. roads, bridges, drainage etc.
6.
Did not present a proper picture of the financial health of the ULB.
7.
Inadequate managerial attention, e.g., on movement of payables/liabilities
8.
Inadequate information on to what extent, the assets of the ULB have been used up
Mandav NP is still working on the basis of Single entry system. The Accountant has been trained twice in
Double entry system at Bhopal and Lekha Niyam Sanshodhan booklet is also available with the NP but NP has
not yet been able to quantify its assets and liabilities. Hence, the NP has not yet been able to prepare a
balance sheet. Post elections, the NP has requisite staff trained in double entry system and hence, can soon
start with double entry accounting.
6. Basic Services for Urban Poor
Presently, the NP does not have a separate allocation for Urban Poor in the budget but since one of the slum
ward lies within core town, development works are also undertaken in this ward. No works are undertaken by
NP in peripheral slums (villages).
7. Property Tax Reforms
Property tax surveys have not been undertaken by NP and the data from last surveys (conducted around 2004)
is being used after annual updation. Adoption of unit area method and transfer of information on GIS platform
has not been initiated yet. Since the NP does not provide services to the villages, no taxes are being imposed in
these areas as yet. Since the number of taxable properties in the town is extremely low, progress on this
reform is slow.

21.1 Project Quantification and Phasing

Based on secondary data collected, identification of demand and supply gaps and on site knowledge; quantification of identified projects was undertaken. For Project Phasing,
the entire study period was divided into 3 parts:
Phase 1: First 5 years (Till 2017). This was further subdivided into first 2 years and Projects to be taken up till 2015. This was done to identify the projects that need
to be started on an immediate basis
Phase 2: Projects to be undertaken till 2027.
Phase 3: Projects to be undertaken till 2037.
Phasing of projects was done such that projects for upgradation of existing infrastructure are taken up in the first phase, those for provision of new infrastructural
facilities are taken up in the second phase and those for infrastructural provision for additional population are taken up in the third phase.
21.2 Key Considerations

The following key parameters need to be considered for projects in all sectors:
Citizen Group: Though not mandatory, but the town can elect and form a Citizens group to oversee implementation and DPR preparation of all projects. This Group
can comprise of Senior Citizens, Intelligentsia, Representatives of Urban Poor, industrialists, etc. The NP would be the nodal agency for this Citizen Group. The main
aim of the group would be to ensure that the DPRs prepared and implementation of projects is in the interests of the town and does not overlook the common
interests of the town. At the same time, this Committee has to ensure that the Projects are not biased towards any individual or group.
Integrated Sectoral projects for Government Funding: Instead of seeking government funding for individual projects under each sector, the NP should combine the
projects which need to be implemented together, e.g. all projects under transportation sector can be clubbed together to seek funding. This should be especially
done for projects for which funding is being sought from the same source. This will (a) Reduce procedural work for each project (b) Funding for correlated projects
can be taken up simultaneously so that interrelated projects can be implemented simultaneously.
Monitoring: NP should undertake construction phase and post construction phase monitoring of projects through citizens participation.
CDP to be reviewed and revised every 5 years
134
2013
Since paucity of land is a key constraint for all ULBs, it is advised that acquisition of land against will should be avoided in all cases. A 3 way methodology should be
adopted for this
1.
2.
3.
Integrated administrative complex should be set up in each town by vacating all government plots and centring all government buildings in 1 or 2 large
complexes. The land so vacated, should be used for development projects in the town.
Revenue land in and around the town should be taken up before private land
In case private land is to be taken up for development projects, a PPP based approach should be adopted. For eg: If a bus stand is proposed to be
constructed on Private land, then the ULB can enter into a contract with the owner of the land. The plot should be developed such that apart from bus
stand, a commercial complex should also be constructed on the site. The land owner should be given a percentage of the constructed shops and a mutually
agreeable percentage share in the bus fee collected from all buses using the bus stand. Similarly, in order to create parking areas for town, a PPP based
approach can be adopted whereby, the private party would given their land for parking and in return, collect parking fee from all vehicles. The NP would be
the regulatory and supervising authority for all such PPP projects.

Potential solution for PPP for light and sound show (based on approximate calculations)
Total cost of sound and light show: Capital cost approx 3 Cr
Running cost of sound and light show: 30 lakh/ annum
Cost per ticket: 400
Number of tickets: 200 to 500 (assuming 200 tickets sale on average)
Shows per year (during peak season) = 30 x 3 = 90 shows
Total earning per year = 90 shows x 200 tickets x Rs. 400/ticket = INR 72 Lakh/yr
Recovery period for capital cost: 4.16 yrs
O&M Cost for 4.16 yrs = 124.8 Lakh or 1.24 Cr

CHAPTER 22: CITY INVESTMENT PLAN

This chapter has been divided into 2 sections: (1) Project Costing and Sources of Funding where phase wise and sector wise costing for the identified projects has been given
and the potential sources of funding have been identified; and (2) City Investment Plan which gives a summary of the total phase wise and sector wise investment required in
sectors under NP and State Government to meet the Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and O&M costs of the projects.
22.1 Project Costing and Sources of Funding

Costing of projects for the CDP has been done using MP Schedule of Rates, estimates from other MP CDPs and standard costing thumb rules. Since the base cost of projects is
based on the current costs, and the target year is 2035, an inflation and contingency value has also been taken into account. Base costs for 2012/13 have been projected
while taking 5% inflation cost and 5% contingency cost. Under sources of funding, potential National and International sources of funding, NGO fundings and Innovations in
funding have been identified. Since projects in the first phase are targeted towards improvement of existing infrastructure, the costs for this phase are likely to be the lowest.
Since, most of the infrastructural development in the town would take place in the second phase, the costs for this phase are the likely to be the highest. High emphasis has
been given on funding of Projects under PPP mode in order to make the projects sustainable. It is also proposed that a combination of projects with economic benefits
(profitable projects) and projects with high social benefits (not very profitable projects; under Corporate Social Responsibility) be clubbed together as a package for the
Private sector.

Hence, the NP needs to generate 6.38 Crore in Phase 1 to meet the cost of implementation of projects and undertake institutional reforms. Apart from this, the NP would also
need an amount of 13.35 Cr to meet the O&M expenses of projects created under CDP. Hence, the NP is required to generate a total amount of 19.73 Cr in Phase 1 to meet the
CapEx, Institutional reforms and O&M of projects.

CHAPTER 23: FINANCIAL OPERATING PLAN

This Chapter discusses the Financial Operating Plan which assesses Nagar Parishads capability to generate the required revenue and also proposes alternate means to
generate this revenue.
In order to construct and maintain the projects proposed under CDP, the Nagar Parishad has to contribute INR 6.15 Crores to meet Costs of projects over the first 5 years. In
addition to this, the NP also needs to generate 0.2 Crores to meet the cost of Institutional Projects during Phase 1 and an additional 13.35 Cr to meet the O&M Costs of
Infrastructure created under CDP. Hence, a total of 19.73 Crores is required to be generated by NP in the first 5 years of the Project period.
The present earnings of Mandav Nagar Parishad largely come from Transfers or grants (46%) from higher levels of Government. The rest of the income is from tax (43%) and
non tax resources (11%). This indicates low financial autonomy of the Nagar Parishad. Under the Financial Operating Plan, the finances of the Nagar Parishad have been
projected using CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for the next 6 years to analyze whether or not the Nagar Parishad would be able to meet these expenses on the basis
of its own revenue generation. NP budget data from 2006/07 to 2010/11 has been used to make these projections. Alternate strategies (PPP based) have also been suggested
which can be used to generate additional revenue.
Base Case Scenario

Under Base case scenario, it has been assumed that the Nagar Parishad income and expenditure would continue at the current rate. No reforms or measures would be taken
up by NP to increase income or curtail expenses under this scenario.
Key Assumptions
The following key assumptions have been made while projecting the NP finance data:
CAGR has been used to project the data till 2017 in order to attain a uniform value for growth rates.
In terms of NP income and expenditure, in cases where unrealistic growth rates were attained due to irregularities in collection/expenditure, etc.; the growth rates in
such cases, were normalized to realistic values. Growth rates of more than 10% have been normalized for income as well as expenditure
Income
Octroi compensation has been assumed to increase at 10% as against 21% (as per CAGR). This has been done to avoid unrealistic projections and since Octroi
compensation forms a large part of Municipal income, projections on higher side can lead to over prediction of Municipal Income.
Grants for provision of basic services have been assumed to grow at 5%
Over the study period, income and expenditure under Other Transfers Return have been nearly equal. Since growth rates for income and expenditure under
Other Transfers Return are more than 40% as per CAGR, the growth rates have been adjusted such that income from this source becomes equivalent to
expenditure under this head.
th
Installments for pension under 6 Pay Commission have been assumed to discontinue in the first phase.
228
2013
Expenditure
One time project based expenditures like construction of water tank have been discontinued under phase 1
Expenditure on public construction would increase at 10%
Expenditure under BRGF has been assumed to increase at the same rate as income from this source.
Growth rates for expenditure under Other Transfers Return have been rationalized, as stated above.
Tax Revenue
If the Nagar Parishad does not introduce any reforms and continues to collect taxes at the present rate, then the NP earnings in 2017 from tax sources would reach
approximately 1.42 Crores. But a critical point here is that more than 70% of this earning would come from Octroi compensation.
Non Tax Revenue
The NP earnings from Non tax revenue under base case scenario would reach approximately 17.7 lakhs by 2017.
Transfers/Capital Income
Transfers would account for approximately 1.26 Crore by 2017 of the total revenue as against their present contribution of 92.23 lakhs. Grant under MP Legislator Fund
would contribute to nearly 35% of this amount.
Other income
Income under extraordinary and loans would account for approximately 32.25 lakhs by 2017.
Expenditure including Capital Expenditure
The expenditure of NP without any curtailment in costs (but assuming that growth rate under none of the major heads exceeds 10%) is likely to stand at 2.19 Crores by 2017.

Hence, if the NP continues its earnings and expenses under the base case scenario, the NP would be able to generate a cumulative profit (from 2011 to 2017) of 5.78 Crores
by 2017 as against the required 19.73 Cr.
230
2013
Some Reforms Scenario

Under the some reforms scenario, it has been assumed that the NP would introduce property tax reforms, reforms for rationalization of water charges and reforms for
rationalization of Consolidated tax/ Samekit kar to increase revenue generation. Apart from this, it has also been assumed that the Nagar Parishad would take measures to
curtail expenses, especially administrative expenses.
Key Assumptions
The following key assumptions have been made while projecting the NP finance data:
CAGR has been used to project the data till 2017 in order to attain a uniform value for growth rates.
In terms of NP income and expenditure, in cases where unrealistic growth rates were attained due to irregularities in collection/expenditure, etc.; growth rates in such
cases, were normalized to realistic values.

2013

An important point to be noted here is that at present, property tax collection rate is extremely low. The average property tax collection at present is even lower
than water tax collection. Hence, property tax rates and collection efficiency need to be increased significantly.
Octroi compensation has been assumed to increase at 10% as against 21% (as per CAGR). This has been done to avoid unrealistic projections and since Octroi
compensation forms a major part of Municipal income, projections on higher side can lead to over prediction of Municipal Income.
Grants for provision of basic services have been assumed to grow at 5%
Over the study period, income and expenditure under Other Transfers Return have been nearly equal. Since growth rates for income and expenditure under
Other Transfers Return are more than 40% as per CAGR, the growth rates have been adjusted such that income from this source becomes equivalent to
expenditure under this head.
th
Installments for pension under 6 Pay Commission have been assumed to discontinue in the first phase.
Expenditure
It has been assumed that the rate of growth for administrative expenses (salary, allowances, contingency, incidental expenses, etc.) under all heads would not
exceed 9%
Expenditure on public construction would increase at 9%
Expenditure under BRGF has been assumed to increase at the same rate as income from this source.
Growth rates for expenditure under Other Transfers Return have been rationalized, as stated above.
Based on the above assumptions, the data for NP finances was projected for 6 years using CAGR.
Tax Revenue
If the NP introduces property tax, consolidated tax and water tax reforms, the earnings from Tax sources are likely to increase to 1.52 Cr by 2017 as against a cumulative of
1.42 Cr under Base Case Scenario. Octroi would contribute to more than 70 % of these earnings.
Non Tax Revenue
Income from non tax revenue would remain the same, 16.78 lakhs by 2017.
Capital Income/ Transfers
Income under transfers would also remain same at 1.26 Cr.
Other income
Income under miscellaneous is likely to remain the same at 30.03 lakhs.

Hence, under Some Reforms Scenario, the Nagar Parishad can generate 6.30 Cr. Hence, a surplus of 52.17 lakhs can be generated by the NP by introducing water, property
tax, consolidated tax reforms and measures to reduce expenditure.
233
2013
23.1 Conclusion
In order to meet the costs of CDP projects, the NP would be required to generate an amount of 19.73 Crores over the first 5 years. It was found that under the base case
scenario (where no reforms are implemented to increase income and reduce expenditure), the NP would be able to generate only 5.78 Crores. It is proposed that to further
increase the revenues, the NP should implement the Some Reforms Scenario, whereby reforms to increase property tax, consolidated tax and water tax & measures to
decrease expenditure would be implemented. The NP would be able to generate upto 6.30 Crores (an additional revenue of 52.17 lakhs) through implementation of these
reforms.
Despite this, the NP would still be short of nearly 14 Cr (total required is 19.73 Cr). Hence, it is proposed that the NP should undertake PPP Projects like redevelopment of
NP complex hotel or Dharamshala or commercial complex on lower 2 floors and NP office can be made on top floor. This can help NP generate a revenue of upto 4 Cr.
Other PPP projects like advertisements, organizing guided tours or parking tax can also be collected by NP to generate more revenue from tourism. The remaining amount
of nearly 10 Cr needs to be given by State Government as a Grant or a loan to the ULB.

SPECIAL PAPER: TRAN SPORTATION

DHAR DISTRICT: LOCATION AND CONNECTIVITY
Dhar district, with a geographical area of 8153 square kilometres,is spread over three physiographic divisions
the Malwa plateau in the north, the Vindhyachal range in the central zone and the Narmada Valley along the
southern boundary. The district has an undulating topography and a large area of forest, with very little
industrial development and an average level of urbanization. These factors impart a scenic quality to travel
throughout the district. The district is primarily connected by road to its regional context, with almost no rail
connectivity except on its northern most extreme and through Indore on the East.
Dhar district is adjacent to Jhabua and Alirajpur districts on the North-West and South-West, Ratlam in the
North, Ujjain to the North-East, Indore to the East, West Nimar to the South-East and Barwani district to the
South. It has three main urban centres: Dhar, Manawar and Pithampur. Dhar city is 50 kms from Pithampur,
which is a further 22 kms from Indore, making these district cities fall within the larger metropolitan region of
Indore, one of Indians fastest growing cities, with an increase in population of over 32% over the last decade.
As such, Dhar district is surrounded by areas of vibrant economic activity and growth, and is thus impacted by
the pressures of traffic and transportation created by its regional context. Being in the immediate vicinity of
Indore district, Dhar district is impacted in ways by the growth of Indore city, the commercial capital of
Madhya Pradesh.
Three national highways (NH) connect Dhar district to the rest of India. NH 59 originates in Indore and cuts
across the district in an East-West direction, connecting Indore with Ahmedabad in Gujarat. NH 79 links the

district to Ajmer in Rajasthan. NH 3, which connects Agra to Mumbai, touches the South-East corner of Dhar
district, between Indore and Dhule in Maharashtra. .A number of state highways (SH) also cross the district. SH
18 connects Bhopal to Ahmedabad, via Sehore, Ashta, Dewas, Ujjain,Badnawar and Petlawad. SH26 connects
Badwani on the South with Alirajpur in the neighbouring district and Vadodara in Gujarat. SH 31 connects Dhar
with Bhusawal in Maharashtra and onwards to Nayagaon. SH 39 runs Northwards from Badwani through
Kukshi and Jobat to Kushalgarh in Rajasthan.
Madhya Pradesh has a high dependence on road transport. However, the road density in the state is 47
1
th
(km/100sqkm area), which is much below the national average of 98. The state is ranked 16 in comparison
with other Indian states in this regard. At the same time, the number of registered motor vehicles per
thousand population in the state is 80, which is considerably higher than the national average of 68. This puts
http://www.infrawindow.com/reports-survey/road-density-in-india-disparity-persist_15/
xxxvi
2013
a lot of pressure on its roads, perhaps indicated by the fact that more than 10% of all accidents in India happen
in Madhya Pradesh. While detailed data regarding Dhar district is not available at present, it can be observed
that the intensity of road usage is high, and would probably reflect the overall situation in the state.
In 2005, the ILO (International Labour Organization)
conducted a situation analysisassessing the quality of
the road surface and its maintainabilityof 116
roads/tracks, including national highways, state highways
and major district roads (MDR), village roads, other district
2
roads and tracks in Dharblock of Dhardistrict. While the
state of NHs, SHs and MDRs, which are 19.8 percent of the
road network, is largely good and it was found that the
other roads are in poor condition. About 31 percent of the
network provides full access (i.e. the road is fully
maintainable). The study noted that the allocation of funds
for road maintenance has reduced drastically, dropping to
less than 50% from 1997-98to 2002-03, with an increase in
the shortfall in expenditure, compared to funds required
as per norms, from a level of 50 percent in 1997-98 to 75
percent in 2002-03. Poor condition of roads is particularly harmful to rural inhabitants, because it impacts their
access to health care facilities and increases the time spent on daily chores, thereby affecting agricultural
output. One of the key issues that has emerged during the planning and initial implementation of the PMGSY is
the need to preserve the infrastructure through effective maintenance. While contractors are responsible for
maintenance for 5 years after the construction, the responsibility for maintenance reverts to the implementing
agencies thereafter. This places a lot of financial pressure on the ULBs in the district and requires proper
financial planning, otherwise the economic activities in the cities of the district would be adversely affected.
Observations of the state of roads in all the cities support this conclusion, as the ULBs are able to maintain a
very small percentage of the roads within their jurisdiction.
PROVISIONING OF TRANSPORT SERVICES
Dhar district has easy access to air travel through the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore, which is served
by most of the major domestic airlines of the country, such as Jet Airways, Jet Lite, Indian Airlines and
Kingfisher. These connect Indore with the main Metros and with all parts of the country. The district is
deprived of rail connectivity, for which it has to depend once again on Indore to the East and Ratlam on the
North. While Ratlam is 107 kms to the North of Dhar city, it provides access to four major railway routes, which
connect Ratlam to Mumbai, Delhi, Ajmer and Khandwa. Similarly, Indore also provides rail connectivity to
Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Howrah, Bhopal, Ujjain, Gwalior, Bhind,
Jabalpur, Bilaspur, Khandwa, Lucknow, Varanasi, Patna, Ambala, Jammu, Dehradun and Trivandrum. Regional
transport is road-based and buses ply between Dhar, Indore, Mandu, Mhow, Ratlam, Ujjain, and Bhopal.
Rented cars and taxis are freely available within the district, and provide convenient access to Indore, Mhow,
Ratlam, Ujjain and Bhopal.
It can be said that Dhar district is well connected even though it depends on adjoining districts for air and rail
connectivity. However, it is significant that in 2000, 70.5% of the villages in the district were still not connected
3
with pucca roads. At 25.3 kilometres road length per 100 square kilometres (in 1999), the road density in the
district is even lower than the states average. With the pressures of development on all sides, the district will

be faced with the challenge of upgrading its infrastructure as well as planning the intercity transportation
within the district such that development pressures do not have a detrimental effect.
PRESSURES OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The upcoming Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)
and the concomitant Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC)
will have a profound impact on Dhar district and all the
cities within the district. While the DMIC itself does not
contain Dhar district and the DFC does not enter the
district, the impacts are inevitable. The DMIC and DFC
strategy envisages a network of regional transport
linkages and a network of investment regions that will
feed the corridors. No. 24 in the series of investment
nodes is the Dhar- Pithampur-Mhow Investment
Region, which is located to the east of the DMIC
alignment. It leverages the air and rail connectivity
provided by Indore and the presence of NH-3, which
passes close to all three cities. It will also enjoy the
proximity to steel plants at Bhilai and Nagpur and the
close proximity to ports in South Gujarat, such as
Hazira, Dahej and Maroli.
Through the Audhyogic Kendra Vikas Nigam (AKVN),
Indore, a specialized corporation dedicated to
integrated industrial development, the state
government has been developing a Special Economic
Zone at Indore since 2000one of the first in the countrywhich is expected to be a major hub for vehicle
and components manufacturing. This region already has the presence of companies like Hindustan Motors,
Kinetic Honda, Eicher Motors, Bajaj Tempo, and other industries such as Kores India, Crompton Greaves,
Bridge Stone Tyres and Pratap Steel. The state government also plans to develop a Pharma Cluster, Apparel
Park, Gems & Jewellery Park, Software Technology Park, Herbal Park and Bio-technology Park within the new
investment region. Other related developments will be a Knowledge City and Skills Development Center to
cater to the training needs of the industries, Integrated Township/s, and an integrated logistics hub with
container depot, truck terminal and warehousing facilities.
The CDP for Indore envisages an investment of INR 2746 Crore for the upgradation of infrastructure (transport,
water supply, environment management) in the urban agglomeration around Indore. Indore Airport is being
augmented to become an international airport. The Dhar-Pithampur-Mhow Investment Node will also need to
connect with the DMIC through feeder roads connecting with national highways and the Golden Quadrilateral.
Feeder rail linkages will also be developed. There is a plan to construct a 196km long Broad Gauge line
connecting Dahod, Sardarpur, Dhar and Indore. Other developments include guage conversion for the Chhota
Udepur- Pratapnagar (100km) and the Indore-Khandwa (138.76km) lines. There is also a proposal to connect
Dhar and Chhota Udepur (100kms).

FACTORS INFLUENCING TRANSPORTATION IN DHAR
The DMIC is expected to profoundly impact the patterns and nature of traffic flowing through Dhar district and
its constituent cities, especially the cities of Badnawar, Dhamnod, Dharampuri, Kukshi and Sardarpur-Rajgarh,
in addition to Dhar itself. All these cities can gain from being in the catchment of the DMIC investment region.
Within a 200 kms radius, these cities can develop live links with other cities like Vadodara and Dahod in
Gujarat, and other hubs in Madhya Pradesh, such as Ratlam, Neemuch-Nayagaon, Shajapur and Dewas.
A definite impact will also be felt through the setting up of Ujjain as a knowledge city and RatlamNagda as an
investment region, which would directly influence growth in Badnawar, as it is 66 kms from Ujjain and about
45 kms from Ratlam. Ujjain may also supply domestic tourists to the district, whose tourism infrastructure is
still being developed. The state Tourism Policy mentions a Transport Departments notification exempting
tourist buses from payment of Motor Vehicle Tax if they ply on designated tourist routes for 2 years. A large
number of tourist circuits include the ancient capital of Mandu, and a new inclusion is a tourism circuit around
Badnawar, connecting Indore, Ujjain, Badnawar and Ratlam with Mandsaur and Neemach. The rich cultural
heritage and tourism destinations in and around the district promises great potential to attract domestic and
international tourists, and this will further enhance the pressure on the transportation networks of the district.
Dharampuri can be developed as an important transit point on the tourism circuits in the district, as well as
provide a vital link in the rail and industrial freight corridors being proposed.
The policy framework for mobility and transport is also changing in the state and will have its impact on the
district. The Madhya Pradesh Transport Policy 2010 is a timely response, in the spirit of the National Urban
Transport Policy (NUTP),to the rapidly increasing vehicle numbers and chronic problems of lack of planning
and effective management of traffic and transportation, which can become impediments to growth and
destroy the quality of life of all cities. Notes that there has been rapid increase in numbers of motor vehicles in
the state. In the previous decade (2000-2010) there has been 12.81% increase in gross numbers. The Policy is
directed towards better provision of services and better management of operations.
The thrust is on provision of public transport and buses in all regions, especially rural and remote areas, by
following a liberal policy in terms of providing bus permits, while ensuring healthy competition between
private operators. While the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation was disbanded in 2005 and
presently only operates a few inter-state routes, it is only a matter of time before most bus operations are
privatised. The policy also intends to improve Bus Stands in all locations, under the PPP mode of financing and
development. Goods carriers will be handled carefully to ensure safety.
xxxix
2013
To improve management and to elicit greater participation from the Public in fixing appropriate fares and
monitoring the performance of the bus operators, the Policy envisages the setting up of various bodies. A
Disrict Transport Authority is envisaged under the command of the District Collector. The policy also
recommends the formation of City-level Unified Metropolitan Transport Councils (C-UMTC) and Dedicated
Urban Transport Funds (DUTF) in all cities. The policy further recommends the setting up of a Traffic
Information Management & Control Centre (TIMCC) in all cities and aligning the preparation of mandatory City
Mobility Plans (CMP) with the provisions of the City Development Plans (CDP) to ensure proper coordination
between them.
A significant initiative of the State Government is the Draft Parking Policy, which highlights both the lack of
awareness among all parties about the importance of parking. It identifies the multiplicity of parking rules and
regulations in different cities, the shortage of appropriate sites for parking and no comprehensive appraisal of
existing parking sites, lack of proper transport plans, lack of capacity within the ULBs to deal with parking
issues, multiple uncoordinated agencies dealing with parking, lack of successful PPP models in parking
provision, irrational parking rates, encroachments on public lands and limited application of advanced
technology as key challenges facing the ULBs. The proposed policy includes provisions for the following
reforms and actions by the ULBs:
1. Parking rates to be calibrated as per the value of land in different areas of the city
2. Vehicle registration to be conditional on the availability of parking space
3. Comprehensive Mobility Plans (CMPs) and Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Master Plans
(CTTMP)for each city, after proper appraisal of existing and future requirements for parking
4. Provision of adequate temporary parking and handicapped parking
5. Multi-storey parking at designated locations, with park and ride provisions, video security, etc.
6. Truck terminals and by-passes to be constructed in all cities
7. Application of ITS (Intelligent Transport System)
8. IEC activities to be undertaken to increase public awareness
9. Building construction permissions to be linked with parking provision
10. Private vehicles to pay for night-parking on city roads
11. Freeing carriageways of parked vehicles, and limiting the off-street parking as per available right-ofway (minimum 12m)
12. Promotion of park-and ride principle.
URGENTISSUES FOR TRANSPORTATION IN DHAR DISTRICT
Quality of roads
It has been noted earlier that the overall quality of the highways, district roads and especially the internal
roads in the cities is poor, thus access to many parts of the city is seriously hampered throughout the year but
especially in the monsoon. Most internal roads are in need of repair and resurfacing and currently unable to
cater to motorized traffic. Many are not able to support non-motorized modes even. As most people travel by
foot and use bicycles and motorized 2 wheelers, this puts pressure on ULBs to improve the provisioning and
maintenance.
Lack of public transport
Dhar district has the registration for 345 cars, 254 jeeps, 86 taxi cabs, 531 three wheelers, 109 passenger
vehicles, 1037 goods vehicle, 90591 two wheelers, 11518 tractors, 8658 trailers, 698 other vehicles and a total
4
of 113827 motorized vehicles. These figures might be lower than the actual motorized vehicle figure as
residents of the district also go to nearby districts to register their vehicles. Residents of the towns under
contract generally rely on non-motorized modes like walking and bicycling and two wheelers for intercity
travel or travel to areas in the vicinity of towns. For distant places, they rely on private buses and hired cabs as
4
Motor Transport Statistics of Madhya Pradesh, 2008-2009.
xl
2013
do tourists who visit these towns. In the absence of public transit and intermediate public transit options like
shared autos in most towns, people are often restricted to these modes.
It is significant that out of the total of 1966 temporary permits issued to private transporters in Dhar district in
2008-09, almost 60% (1170 nos.) were issued to operators of contract carriages, who operate buses between
cities and villages of the district. Only 7 permits were sought for operating auto rickshaws, which indicates the
low feasibility of such local modes, explained by the high number of private two-wheelers.
Public transit is absent in all these towns and as such travel options are limited to non motorized modes that
can span for about 1-2 km, creating a problem of accessibility and limiting mobility of the citizens, preventing
them from undertaking economic activities in other parts of their city or the district. The dependence on
privately owned vehicles is too high, and there is great need for public transport for local and intercity travel.
Lack of parking
One of the most prominent issues is the lack of designated parking areas. Even in towns that have demarcated
some parking, it is clearly inadequate. The cities in Dhar district are developing at a rapid rate, putting them on
a trajectory where motorized modes of travel will become essential for commuting for work and tourism and
the parking needs will only increase in the future. As per the Parking Policy described earlier, this problem
requires a comprehensive and holistic planning.
Bus stands that serve the intercity buses are inadequate and often placed at inconvenient locations. In the
case of Rajgarh and Sardarpur, which are in close proximity, there is a bus stand only in Rajgarh, forcing the
citizens of Sardarpur to find their own last mile linkage to their town.
Removal of encroachments
Encroachments on road space are commonplace in all the cities. This adds to congestion by restricting the right
of way of the streets, worsening the already chaotic and constrained conditions of these streets. Truck and bus
traffic also need to be regulated. Dharampuri and Dahi have a lot of trucks that carry sand from quarries to
major cities in the region and this along with the private buses adds to congestion and chaos on the main
roads. As traffic management in towns is meant to be handled by the traffic police, and there are few or no
personnel who perform this duty, the regulation of bus and truck traffic is almost non existential and prone to
the operation of local mafias.
Construction of by-pass roads
While it is observed that some towns like Dahi may need a bypass, others like Sardarpur may actually lose out
on trade opportunities from passengers in buses and cars that would bypass the business areas and site-seeing
hotspots if there is a by-pass. The provision of a by-pass must be carefully considered, and its precise location
and length should be designed to enhance rather than reduce the economic activity in the areas that it
circumvents.
Road safety and awareness
The data on road accidents in Dhar reveals neglected aspects of planning and governance that easily get
overlooked. Of the total 43852 accidents that occurred in 2008-09, there were 5861 fatalities. Of these, more
than 50% accidents happened at T and Y junctions in roads. 90% happened at intersections without any lights
or traffic control provisions. 67% accidents happened on single lane roads without dividers. 70% were during
perfectly fine weather. Of the fatal accidents (5861) and grievous injuries (5422), in both cases around 60% of
the accidents were caused due to over-speeding, which probably explains why 30% of overall accidents were
due to head-on collisions. Of the total 43852 accidents, almost 35% were due to overloading or improper
loading of the vehicles. If we examine the locations of accidents, this reveals that Almost 50% are in locations
in or around residences, markets and institutions.

In evaluating the overall scenario, it would not be wrong to say that the roads are actually unsafe by design,
and most of the accidents are happening as a result of normal circumstances. Better planning of the road
network can enhance the safety of the citizens, who suffer most. Road dividers, properly marked intersections
with appropriate signaling, and a strict control on speeding and overloading of vehicles is called for.
The State Transport Policy of 2007, noted that close to 95% of the accidents are due to the drivers human
error, and most of the remaining were due to vehicle faults. It was found that general awareness and proper
training of drivers is a must, Fitness certificates need to be made mandatory, and the testing of vehicles should
be done through PPP. However, in 2009, there was only one registered driver training school in the whole of
Dhar district, and not even a single pollution-checking centre.
PROPOSAL FOR SETTING UP A DISTRICT LEVEL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
An assessment of the ground conditions and the issues and potentials related to transportation in Dhar district
indicates that improvements can be brought about by focusing on specific areas of intervention. Broadly
speaking, these include the devising of PPP models for investment, enhancing the technical and financial
capacity of ULBs to manage the development and operations & maintenance of transportation, strict
enforcement, parking policies, removal of encroachments, proper planning of the road network (arteries, bypasses, neighbourhood roads), etc.
City Development Plan for 8 towns in Dhar district is being prepared, namely Mandav, Dhamnod, Dharampuri,
Kukshi, Dahi, Badnawar, Sardarpur and Rajgarh. All these are small towns with populations ranging between
7000 to 20000. All these towns suffer from typical transportation related problems like encroachment, lack of
parking spaces, poor regional connectivity, lack of public transportation and transportation facilities for
existing and potential tourists. At the town level, the Urban Local Bodies and to some extent Police
department are the only agencies responsible for traffic management and none of these are equipped to
handle the transportation related problems: technically, financially or administratively . Hence, it is proposed
that a District Level Authority be set up to regulate transportation Management at the district level. The key
advantages of constitution of such an agency would be:
Coordinated transportation planning, implementation and management at the district level
Ease of channelizing PPP based funding through development of multiple projects, i.e., PPP based
funding for development of 8 major parking sites in the district would be more sustainable and
economically feasible as compared to development of parking spaces in individual towns by individual
investors

Mandav is a prime tourist destinatio
on which features on the National and International tourist

map. Mandav is
also proposed to be listed as a Worrld Heritage Site. The town presently has only 2 accesss roads: from Dhar and
Dharampuri and both are in a poo
or condition. The town has only one parking area and
a suffers from acute
parking shortage during tourist seaason. The town, despite being a prominent tourist tow
wn, does not have any
provision for tourist buses or luxuryy buses (except a few operated by private pliers). Hen
nce, in order to further
promote development of Mandav as
a a tourist destination, it is proposed that Mandav bee provided connectivity
through NH3. A kuccha road and road under PM Gram Sadak Yojna linking NH3 to the town already exists close
to Jhabri village. District Level Transportation Agency (DLTA) can attract PPP based
b
investment for
development of this road from NH3
3 via Jhabri village to Mandav town. This will not only improve connectivity
for tourists but will also improve th
he quality of life of the villagers who have to commute for at least 2 hrs on
foot to reach the town. Provision off tourist buses and luxury buses to Mandav can also be
b undertaken by DLTA.
Mandav, owing to the hilly terrain and ASI listed monuments, does not have any space availability for
development of parking areas for buses, cars and taxis, it is proposed that Dhamno
od (located hr from
Mandav) be developed as a tourist accommodation base for tourists to Mandav and other destinations like
Maheshwar. Parking areas, tourist accommodation
a
and tourist bus facilities can be provided at Dhamnod from
where buses can ply to Mandav on a daily basis. DLTA can play an important role in attrracting investments for
development of road connectivity to
t NH3, improvement of connecting roads from Dhaar and Dharampuri; for
development of parking areas in Dhamnod
D
and for operating bus tours from Dhamno

SPECIAL PAPER: SOCI O-ECO

ONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SCHEDULED TRIBES
BACKGROUND
The scheduled tribes of India consttitute 8.14% of the total population of the country, The population of the
scheduled tribes as per the 2001 Census was 84.51 million,
and their inhabitation covered about 15% of the countrys
area.
DISTRICT-WISE PERCENTAGE OF TRIBAL

POPULATION IN INDIA
Central Indian Tribal Belt: The centtral Indian tribal belt,

stretching from Purulia Bankura in West Bengal to
Banswara - Dungarpur in South Rajassthan is the home for
about 80% tribal communities. This beelt is the typical rainfed
area, w ith the maximum issues and problems
p
pertaining to
subsistence agriculture, very poor irrrigation infrastructure,
dismal extension services and awaren
ness among the tribal
communities. Though the region is rich in natural resources,
the geography, fragile environment and the low awareness
levels of the tribal community has allways pushed them in
issues of food insecurity, malnutrition, migration, etc.
Rainfed areas and central Indian tribal belt are synonymous
to each other, as the main concentration and maximum area
of rainfeddryland agriculture fall in thee central Indian region,
known as the poverty belt of Indiaa.

The state of Madhya Pradesh has a high concentration of tribal population. It is ranked
d highest among all the
th
States/UTs in terms of ST population, and is ranked 12 with respect to the proportio
on of ST population to
total population.
As we can see in the map givven above, the tribal
districts of Madhya Pradesh form a clearly identifiable
belt on the southern border of the
t state, where these
districts are adjacent to similarly tribal dominated
districts in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra
Pradesh and Orissa (from Weest to East along the
border). As per the 2001 Censuss, the scheduled tribes
accounted for 20.27% of the sttates population, and
numbered 12.23 million perso
ons. Since 1950, the
geographical areas occupied byy the scheduled tribes
have been referred to as the Schedule V areas. Such
areas occupy a total of 68,000 square kilometres, forming 22.07% of the states geographical area. The total
population living in such scheduled areas is 11.26 millions, of which 6.68 millionss, around half of the
population, belongs to the scheduleed tribes.
Most towns in Dhar and Alirajpur districts
d
of Madhya Pradesh have high tribal populatio
on. Many of the towns
are also administrative blocks. Thee following are the 6 tribal blocks in Alirajpur Disttrict: Alirajpur, Bhavra,
Jobat, Katthiwara, Sondwa, Udaigaarh. The 12 tribal blocks in Dhar District areBagh, Daahi, Dhar, Dharampuri,
Gandhwani, Kukshi, Manawar, Nalcccha, Nisarpur, Sardarpur, Tirlaand Umarban.
As per the 2001 Census, Dhar district
d
had 54.5%tribal population, while Jhabua districtfrom which
Alirajpurdistrict was carved out in 2008had 86.8% tribal population. Furthermore, 17
7.5% of the total urban
population of Dhardistrict and 31%
% of the urban population of Jhabua was constituted by scheduled tribes.
xlv
2013
These proportions vary across the district, with Mandav Nagar Palika having as much as 81.6% tribal
population and Dharampuri NP having the lowest, at 6.5%.Sardarpur, Jobat and Bhavra had over 25% tribal
population. It is expected that this number would have changed drastically with the 2011 census. The city of
Dahi, in Dhar district, has become a Nagar Panchayat now, but it was a village as per the 2001 Census, and was
grouped with villages with 51-75% of ST population.
The percentages of ST population in different cities in these two districts are tabulated below:

The overall literacy rate of the STs has increased from 18.4% in 1991 to 41.2% in 2001; however, the literacy
rate among the scheduled tribes of Madhya Pradesh is lower than the national rate of 47.1%. The literacy
figures are misleading, as they conceal the fact that of all the literates in the scheduled tribes, 57.3% have
attained education below primary level. The proportion of the ST population that has attained primary and
middle levels of education is merely 24.8% and 9.7% respectively. Further, only 6.6 % are educated up to
matriculation/secondary/higher secondary levels, and a miniscule 1.4% has obtained graduate or higher
qualifications.
The Bhil tribe is predominant in Alirajpur and Dhar districts. This is the most populous of the 46 scheduled
tribes, numbering over 4.6 million in 2011 and constituting 37.7% of the total ST population. The Bhils are
primarily involved in agriculture. Amongst the MP tribes, the Bhils have achieved lower literacy rates than
other tribes. Only about 35% of the children of age 5-14 years attend school.
The Work Participation Rate (WPR) of the ST population in Madhya Pradesh is 50.5%, slightly higher than the
national average. Among the major tribes, Bhil, Gond, Korku and Baiga have higher WPR than the national
average. Cultivators constitute the highest proportion (46.8%) among the total workers, higher than the
national average of 44.7%. Agricultural Labourers account for another 42.1% of the workforce.The cultivators
and agricultural labourers together account for 89% of the total workers.
KEY SOCIO-ECONOMIC ISSUES IN TRIBAL AREAS
The tribal communities of MP lag behind the general population in a number of key measures, including
maternal and child mortality, size of agricultural holdings, and access to drinking water and electricity. 52% of
the scheduled tribes live below the poverty line and 54% do not have access to communication and

transport. While poverty, social differences and low literacy levels keep the tribes isolated, they are
nevertheless directly impacted by all the processes that have become associated with urbanization in India,
especially the decline in crop production due to scarcity of water, the depletion of forests due to illegal felling
of trees, and the low level of effectiveness of government schemes due to poor implementation and
monitoring mechanisms.
The scheduled tribes are highly susceptible to the vagaries of development, climate change and socioeconomic changes in the mainstream of Indian society because of a number of key reasons. Firstly, while their
assimilation into the mainstream has been a national mission since Independence, due to a mismatch between
value systems, social mores and lifestyles, and the lower level of urbanization of tribal areas, these societies
have experienced certain isolation from the larger political system and social discourse. Development
pressures have further marginalized them, as they tend to be the victims of large industrial and infrastructural
projects, which affect their natural habitat and deprive them of the organic links with the land that they have
enjoyed for centuries. This also creates a resentment that has surfaced in recent decades in the form of violent
protest and subversion. Therefore, it has become imperative that the tribes are incorporated into the national
framework in ways that are sensitive to their unique and ancient cultures, and that they are not displaced from
their habitat due to development pressures.
During the 1970s, the impacts of industrialization on the ecology and environment of the country became hot
issues for public involvement. The protection of the environment also coincided as a concern with the
protection of native societies that were experts at maintaining a sustainable equilibrium between their life
needs and the environment. Thus, over the last few decades, the central and state governments have
concentrated on protecting the rights of the tribes to the forests that they inhabit, and to maintain a less
intrusive and welfare role in the areas dominated by the tribes. Education, healthcare, agricultural support,
communications and employment have been the main tools for the assimilation of tribes into the mainstream
of Indian society, with mixed results.
Close dependence on the ecosystem
Tribal communities live in forest areas with a very close relationship to their ecological landscape. They are
dependent on the natural resources and their biodiversity for their sustenance at various levels such as
religious, social and economic. As the tribal communities have sacred associations with the natural landscape,
they have traditionally maintained a sustainable balance with their environs and do not engage in the overexploitation of resources that has become a hallmark of modern development in India. The illegal felling of
trees in the forest areas is resulting in depletion of the forest cover and disturbs the balance.For any
development decisions that concern natural landscapes and their biodiversity, it is important to assess the
eco-cultural context and analyse the possible pathways, to come up with sustainable means that benefit the
6
traditional societies and ecosystem in a broader way.
Erosion of Traditional Knowledge Systems
The tribal population is dependent on the natural resources as raw material for the practice of their arts and
crafts traditions. The forest areas are rich in biodiversity and the tribals have inherent knowledge systems with
regards to medicinal and other properties of the flora of the region. The traditional knowledge systems are an
integral part of the tribal culture and need to be documented and promoted with a cautious approach to avoid
over exploitation. There is potential for encouragement of traditional arts and crafts produced by the tribal
population, which are based on the use of non-timber forest produce, by-products of agricultural processes,
and other activities. Also, their knowledge systems could be researched and mainstreamed for the production
of herbal medicinal and consumer products.

The key challenge is to prevent the erosion of traditional knowledge with the advent and promotion of modern
education. School curricula need to be devised for harmonious integration with such knowledge, without
losing the values of either system.
Means of Livelihood Generation
While it is clear that the developmental needs of tribal communities encompass basic needs like education,
drinking water, health, employment generation, communication and infrastructure development which are
linked with the most critical area for intervention: food security this in turn depends on means of sustainable
agriculture through irrigation, and promotion of animal husbandry and horticulture.
The livelihoods of the tribal communities have undergone a sea change since the 1990s, with shifts in
agriculture patterns, the seasonal nature and reduced availability of agri-based livelihoods, and the lifestyle
changes that accompany the exposure of the scheduled tribes to the modernization of the economy. We
discuss the transformed livelihoods scenario in greater detail in a later section on urbanization of tribal areas.
First, we would draw attention to the various successful projects under the MPRLP project, which show that
the livelihoods for the tribes in MP can achieve a bottom-up and sustainable dimension if handled with care.
LESSONS FROM THE MADHYA PRADESH RURAL LIVELIHOODS PROJECT
In order to gain a better understanding of the models and success stories that have been achieved in the area
of development for the tribal communities, we briefly discuss the experiences of the Madhya Pradesh Rural
Livelihoods Project (MPRLP), supported by the GoMP and DFID, which concluded in 2011. The MPRLP focused
on nine districts (Dhar, Jhabua, Barwani, Alirajpur, Anuppur, Shahdol, Mandla, Dindori and Sheopur) where
there is a high proportion of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and where female literacy is poor.In Phase
1, MPRLP reached around 50,000 households in 815 villages. Phase 2 of MPRLP, which started in July 2007,
reached nearly 4,000 villages, including the villages covered in Phase 1.
MPRLP identified the main problem in tribal areas to be their vulnerability. The rural poor in the tribal districts
are farming on marginal and under-productive landholdings. They suffer periodic droughts, do not have
secure land tenure, and rely on seasonal work in agriculture and forests. In some districts, low population
density, relative isolation and inadequate infrastructure mean higher prices for agricultural inputs, poor
extension services, credit and markets, and a dearth of information. These difficulties limit their
opportunities.
Rural poverty is pervasive and fiscal resources at national and state levels are inadequate. Eliminating rural
poverty is thus extremely challenging and can only be a sustainable endeavor if the stakeholders are fully
involved and empowered to give direction to the changes in their lives. The project routed funds through the
Gram Sabhas and emphasized the importance of the Gram Kosh (village fund) as the primary organ through
which change can be affected. It strengthened the capacity of Gram Sabha to plan and manage resources, to
ensure equity in distribution of funds, and to protect the interests of the poor and vulnerable. The project
cultivated an ethos of accessibility and informed participation among the stakeholders.
xlviii
2013
An audit team of DFID, on a visit to Dhar,inquired about the organization of Gram Sabha meetings, the
decision-making process in the Gram Sabha, participation of women, and access to information. Most villagers
shared the liberation they experienced through the knowledge that they are all members of the Gram Sabha
and can fully participate in its activities. The team was impressed by the financial transparency that had been
achieved in the MPRLP villages. In one village, the fund available in the Gram Kosh and the balance of accounts
are written on the exterior wall of the school building to inform all the villagers. On the subject of repayment
of money borrowed from the Gram Kosh. A floriculture project in the Sahariya community in Sheopur has
demonstrated the ability and willingness of the tribalsto make responsible use of the gram kosh. They have
become aware of the advantages of maintaining a robust fund, and because of transparent practices and
proper management by the stakeholders themselves, the idea of tribals being irresponsible with loans has
7
been completely demolished.
The MPRLP demonstrates a variety of different ways in which empowerment can happen through literacy,
information and participation. It reveals the profound change in attitude that comes from financial security at
a community level, which empowers the villagers to take risks and to be enterprising with their futures. For
example, poor farmers having small land holdings have shed conventional farming to take up cash crops like
8
cumin and ginger. Three farmers of Dhehri village of Jhabua district grew grown cumin and earned hefty
profits. Other successful examples include cultivation of ginger in the Tirla cluster in Dhar, cumin cultivation in
the Kaththivada cluster in Alirajpur, and cultivation of fennel seeds (saunf) using organic manure, which
fetched a good price at the Van Melain Bhopal.
The empowerment of women to participate and lead the gram panchayats was a key success of the MPRLP. At
a meeting in Badnawar with the District Collector of Dhar, Smt. Lilabai of Padunia village asked the district
9
collector why her village had no stop dam. The Collector praised her for raising the issue and instructed the
relevant officers to transfer Rs. Two lakhs into the Gram Kosh. Encouraged by Lilabai, other Panchas and
Sarpanchas have also started speaking out. They convene special meetings of women, have motivated 30
illiterate women to learn reading and writing between 7 to 8 pm, and attend every Gram Sabha meeting. They
also handle finances and raise much-neglected gender issues in their villages. The women claim now that the
Gram Sabha cannot take any decision without seeking their opinion.

The last example from MPRLP shows the potential for

livelihood generation when the village communities
collaborate with the private sector industries. The districts of
western Madhya Pradesh report high rate of migration due
to absence of off-farm livelihoods. This effects the youth,
who are usually not willing to sit idle, and choose to migrate,
thereby breaking their bonds with the community and
reducing its capacity for development. Through dialogues
with industries in Dhar, the project identified several
industries like Eicher Tractor and Anant Spinning Mill,
whichshowed interest in tapping young rural manpower from poverty-affected areas by providing skill-based
training. The most spectacular success was achieved by the Pithampur unit of the company Rosy Blue
International, which selected over 100 tribal boys from Badwani, Dhar and Jhabua districts for training in
10
diamond cutting. These boys were absorbed into the industry but were able to maintain their live links with
their villages, while also being able to reject the migration that many of their peers had to experience.
URBANIZATIONOFTHE SCHEDULED TRIBES
The most significant changes in the lives and livelihoods of the scheduled tribes are due to the effect of
urbanization. While this is usually seen as a result of the impact of city-centric industrial economy, we need to
acknowledge the significance of another, more recent, phenomenon that is affecting the districts for which the
present CDPs are being prepared. These cities have become Class IV cities as a result of numerical growth in
population over the last decade. The two cities of Alirajpur district, Jobat and Bhavra, have barely crossed the
10,000 mark that qualifies them as cities. Jobat was 9991 in 2001 and preliminary estimates of population are
at 11535, while the population of Bhavra was 9263 in 2001 and is 12997 today. Similarly, in Dhar district, the
population of Dahi was 7037 and has now risen to 11128 and Mandav has increased from 8544 to 10373.
It has been observed that in all the cities with a dominant tribal population, there is a great deal of resistance
to the new phenomenon to which the tribal citizens are being exposed. The creation of Nagar Panchayats from
what used to be gram sabhasearlier has created resentment in some quarters, while in general there is
confusion about the implications of the new urban status.This is most probably due to the lack of clarity on the
part of all concerned. However, specific reference has been made on several occasions to the fact that the
th
implementation of the 74 Amendment to the Constitution of India to these newly formed citieswhich are
still below the 30,000 population that is technically the threshold for formation of Nagar Panchayat, the lowest
level of urban governance as per the Amendmenthas been kept in abeyance till the settlement of a writ
petition in the Jabalpur High Court, which raises the issue of the applicability of the Panchayat (Extension to
th
Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA) and the 74 Amendment.In September 2009, the Jabalpur High Court held
that the PESA did not apply to scheduled areas, and thereby stayed the elections in 52 district panchayats and
municipalities in such areas, and asked the Indian parliament to devise a law for urbanization of Scheduled
11
areas.
A brief background to the legislation is required to better understand the issues involved. Article 243 ZC of Part
IX A of the Seventy-Fourth Amendmentprovided that nothing in Part IXA shall apply to the Scheduled Areas
(tribal areas). It was mentioned that the Parliament may extend the provisions of Part IXA to Scheduled areas
with exceptions and modifications. A Parliamentary Committee was constituted under the Chairmanship of
ShriDilip Singh Bhuria to examine the issue. Based on the Bhuria Committees Report (1995) and comments
from Central Ministries and concerned State Governments, The Provisions of the Municipalities (Extension to

the Scheduled Areas) Bill, 2001 was introduced in RajyaSabha on 30 July 2001. It was thereafter referred to
the Standing Committee on Urban and Rural Development.
The Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Bill mentions the following modifications (the most
significant items have been highlighted in bold):
(i)
Urban Local Bodies under Scheduled Areas may be designated as Nagar Panchayats, Municipal
Councils, Municipal Corporations and Industrial or Mining Townships;
(ii)
Seats may be reserved for Scheduled Tribes in proportion to their population or one-third
whichever is higher;
(iii)
In all programmes of developments like housing colonies, trading centres, etc., and also in
educational institutions, industrial training institutions, reservations shall be made for the tribal
people in proportion to their population;
(iv)
There shall be constituted a Standing Committee for Tribal Affairs and a Standing Committee for Rural
Development in each Municipality;
(v)
Municipality in a Scheduled Area shall be endowed with powers and responsibilities of preparing five
year development plan and annual plan for development of human resources and socio-economic
advancement of the community;
(vi)
No land may be acquired except for specific purpose. Where land is acquired, reasonable and
adequate compensation shall be paid and alternative means of livelihood to an affected person
shall be made available, so, however, that no Scheduled Tribe is rendered landless on such
acquisition;
(vii)
No urban tax shall be leviable on a tribal who continues to live in his traditional style as per the
norms as prescribed in the Bill; and
(viii)
Functional power as mentioned in clause 4 of the above Bill would also be devolved on Urban Local
Bodies in the Scheduled Areas.
The Fiftieth report of the standing committee on Urban and Rural development of the Thirteenth LokSabha
(2003) noted that, after the notification of Scheduled Areas in 1950, there had been too long a gap between
the first review of Scheduled Areasas mandated by Article 339 of the Constitutiondone by the Dhebar
Commission of 1960, and the second review by the Commission constituted in July 2002. During this gap of
four decades, it was observed that there would have been a sea change in the standards of life and the socioecnomic conditions of the Scheduled Areas. The Committee recommended a review of the Scheduled Areas.
Thereafter, there has been a Third report of the Standing Committee on Urban and Rural Development of the
Fourteenth LokSabha (2004-2005) and the Tenth report, which has the Action Taken report by the
12
Government of India. The issue is still pending resolution.
It is clear that the issue of acceptability of the urban system in the scheduled areas will remain contentious for
some time to come. However, a display of commitment from the government towards the possible benefits,
and an understanding by the tribes can create an atmosphere of communication and debate, which alone can
bring positive outcomes. According to a study of the impact of the PESA conducted by Society for Resource
Integration and Development Action (SRIDA), Jabalpur, in two tribal districts, there is a critical need for
13
awareness generation among the tribal community and the larger public. The study concludes that, among
other things, the Act needs to be implemented in all respects, in spirit and word. The current system of
governance, still largely colonial in nature, has been unable to accept this radical change. Significantly, it
states: there is a need that Gram Sabha institutions should be developed as institutions of self-governance

and not treated merely as institutions of local governance [emphasis added].

The brief discussion of the issue of institutional urbanization in tribal districts is only an introduction to the
larger political background to the creation of city development plans in the cities of Dhar and Alirajpur
districts. The municipal framework will need to deal with the complexity of the situation, given that the tribes
that have become newly urbanonly as a statistical fact would need time to adopt urban citizenship as an
ethos.
The MP Human Development Report has been acknowledging, albeit tentatively, a new aspect of urbanization
that is not driven by either the pull or the push factors traditionally used to explain urbanization. Thus, the
2002 report mentions that along with the usual process, which refers to the growth in populations residing in
urban areas both due to natural growth and net migration into urban areas, there is another urbanization,
which results from
a transformation of the erstwhile rural areas into urban areas through changes in population
density and the employment profile from a primarily agrarian and agro-based employment to nonagriculture based employment. In terms of all the basic human development parameters, urban areas
stand out as significantly different from rural belts, both in the provisioning of services essential for
human development, and in the basic capabilities that citizens can, and do, acquire while living and
14
growing in an urban area as compared to that in a rural area.
What is described above is what can be described as in-situ urbanization whereby settlements that were
earlier rural, grow beyond a certain demographic limit and are re-classified as urban settlements. This is a
relatively new form of urbanization, unlike either the form of historical urban centres becoming larger due to
migration, or the form of creation of urban centres through industrial development. The peculiarity of this
form of urbanization is noted as such in the MP Human Development Report of 2007.
The MPHDR 2007 notes: the percentage of urban population in 2001 at the district level shows positive and
15
significant correlation with rural population growth, which is a positive phenomenon. The phenomenon is
positive because it displays the natural and corresponding growth of both urban and rural areas, such as in
the districts with over 30% populations living in urban areas (in 2001) Gwalior, Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur,
Ujjain, Ratlam and Hoshangabad which report the growth of rural populations at a rate equal to the national
average or higher. The urbanization is positive also because it might demonstrate that the rural areas in
urbanized districts have been able to benefit from the trickle-down effects and thereby stall out-migration.
The report goes on further to note a peculiar phenomenon during the 1990s which bears no correlation with
the base level of urbanization.Four districtsDhar, Sidhi, Raisen, and Balaghatexperience urban growth of
over 50% during the nineties, but without significant urban economies ordevelopment dynamism. This is
found to be true of all the districts that have shown between 30 and 50% urban growth. The report states that
such data reveals that
the pace and pattern of urbanization in recent years cannot be explained in terms of the pattern of
economic or industrial development The riddle of urban growth during the nineties becomes
complex when one notices that it has no relation with the indicators of infrastructure development
(except road mileage) or incidence of employment in industry or other relatively more productive
tertiary activities, at the district level This could also be due to population mobility being caused
by push factors, which is responsible for bringing underprivileged people with little or no education
into urban settlements. [emphasis added]

The peculiarity of the urbanization may also be explained by a few clues in addition to the in-situ urbanization
that we have tried to explain as a result of changes in classification. For this, we again refer to the MPHDR of
2002, where we find a detailed discussion of livelihoods in the state after a decade of economic liberalization.
In the section entitled Livelihood challenge, the MPHDR 2002points out that, while the GDP of the state has
increased after liberalization, there was a slowdown in employment growthtouching as low as 0.9% per
annum in the late-1990smainly because of a slowdown in public sector employment. Higher growth rates in
the private sector could not compensate for the loss of workforce in the public sector. The report highlights
16
the crucial differences between the organized and unorganized sectors of employment. Around the mid1990s, 22 lakh workers in the state, around 6% of the total workforce, were in the organized sector, whereas
the overwhelming majority (94%) were in the unorganized sector, which includes agricultural labour,
construction labour, workers in traditional industries like leather-tanning, forestry, fishing, bidi-rolling,
household workers and village artisans. Agriculture and allied activities,which account for 35% of the states
GDP,have to support 75% of the rural workers. Although the remuneration received from most livelihoods in
MP is low,the incomes are require to sustain more members of the households. The National Sample Survey
(NSS) estimates indicated that an approximate 17% of rural children in MP in the age-group 10-14 years are
working to supplement the household incomes.
The MPHDR 2002 concludes that the development challenge in MP is not just creating new jobs, but
generating new livelihoods in the rural areas and making existing livelihoods stronger and more
sustainable.The most critical implication of such a focus would be the change in approach to forest-based
livelihoods. Nearly 40% of the states villages are either forest villages or are situated close to forests;
however, it is difficult to estimate the exact number of people dependent on forests. What needs highlighting
is the fact that in the case of persons collecting Non Timber Forest Produce (NTFP), the period of direct
person-days of employment may be as little as 10-15 days to a month in a year. While there has been some
change in this scenario with the granting of nistari rights and the promotion of Joint Forest Management
(JFM), the conflict between villagers and the authorities still exists and has been witnessed in a large number
of cases throughout the state and the country. The report concludes that a more people-friendly forest
management regime needs to be evolved between the local people, forest management and government
regulations.
It can be suggested that, with the application of municipal governance in new urban areas, which were rural till
the recent past, a new approach would need to be formulated to the balancing of peoples rights and
opportunities with the exigencies of urban development. There is a crisis of interpretation in this context, as
tribals are assumed to be rural, and all policies for socio-economic development for them are centered on
their agricultural and forest-based economy. The urban tribal is a category that has yet to be fully understood
and provided for in policy.
POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT IN TRIBAL AREAS
The policy environment for tribes is focused on their relationship with the agriculture and forest produce.
There are a large number of policy provisions for tribes that focus on their dependence on, and their access
and privileges regarding the non-timber forest produce and other activities that are unique to the tribes. The
MP Public Forestry Act 2001gives provision for preparation of management plans for the
vrikshachchaditkshetras and MP Public Forestry Rules 2002under the 2001 Act enable the local bodies or
land-owners to manage such areas. The other acts that apply to this area are the Biological Diversity Act
2002, the MP Agro Processing Policy 2006 and the MP Herbal Products Policy.

th
While there are a host of policies to cater to the rural development of tribals, it is the 74 Amendment that
provides the key policy and legislative framework for the development of scheduled tribes within the urban
areas of Dhar and Alirajpur. The strengthening of the municipal governance model in communities that have to
adopt an urban outlook while being essentially rooted in the agri- and forest-based economy needs to be the
thrust of the policy framework. There is an inherent conflict between the urban and rural policies, and this
needs to be dealt with appropriately. An illustration of this conflict can clarify this aspect further. A significant
example is the MP State Plan, which identifies a number of key issues that form the basis of the proposed
development schemes and programs. One of these key issues is identified as Forestry and Wild Life, under
which the Plan document highlights that fact that MP is rightly famed for its rich forest wealth, its wildlife and
biodiversity. 30.8% of the land area in the stateis under forests, and this is the highest amongst all the States.
It is significant that the Plan identifies this as a problem rather than an asset: there is little recognition of the
huge opportunity cost of maintaining this wealth for the environmental health of the country and, indeed, the
global community.Going further, the document states the following:
States like Madhya Pradesh are required to retain a large area under forests and also bear the cost of
maintenance of this forest cover. There is however no return on such investment as "conservation"
and not the "exploitation" is the objective as well as legal imperative. The people of the country share
the benefits but the state and its people often suffer as a result of its rich forest wealth. In fact major
developmental projects pertaining to roads, irrigation, and electricity are hampered, delayed and
become very expensive for the state as a result of involvement of forest land in these projects. An
equitable arrangement would be to calculate the cost of forest assets by capitalising the stock,
attributing it a value and making incremental return available to the state as a rate of return. The
judgement of the Supreme Court regarding compensation to States having above national average
forest cover is a significant step towards maintaining the ecological balance and the costs thereof. On
the basis of suggestion of Supreme Court of estimating Net Present Value (NPV), the excess forest of
33036 square kilometers above the national average @ Rs. 5.80 lac per hectare would be equal to Rs.
1,65,172 crore of capital stock. Even at 5% rate of interest, this capital stock would yield an annual
return of Rs. 8,285 crores. The Hon'ble President of India also has recently mooted the idea of "forest
credit" which needs to be followed through. The Government of India has also regularly used this
argument at all international forum in national interest.
Forest fringe people living in and around protected areas suffer huge costs in terms of crop loss,
denial of access to the forest resources and injuries and loss of human life and livestock. To mitigate
man-animal conflicts, there should be a national policy providing for adequate financial support to the
State Governments for payment of compensation.
The Plan document further mentions the problem with wildlife protection legislations, and ends on an
ominous note:
There is also a need to rationalise the legal provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 in order to
provide respite to the local people who are mostly tribals. The Act prohibits people, living within the
limits of PA, to sell or purchase their private land; recent judicial pronouncement ban even small
development works on private land as well as revenue land contained within the limits of the
sanctuary. This has generated a lot of public resentment against wildlife and protected areas, which
doesnt augur well for the conservation of wildlife. Suitable amendments in the Act need to be made
urgently else it will become increasingly difficult to contain Naxalism in these areas.
The City Development Plan is a means to balance the conflict between the developmental thrust of urban
development, and the seemingly resistive thrust of natural resource management. It is possible to do this only
with a concerted effort to synergize both types of development, by viewing the city as essentially a special
condition that can be harmonious with rural development. Thus, the agricultural activities and forest-based
activities can be incorporated into the city development, defining an approach of reconciliation rather than
conflict.

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT IN TRIBAL AREAS

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India has undertaken certain initiatives for the socio-economic
development of the tribal population through the National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development
Corporation (NSTDFC). These are implemented at state level through therespective State Channelizing
Agencies (SCA). The SCA for MP is MP AdivasiVittaAivamVikas Nigam (MP Tribal Finance and Development
Corporation (MPTFDC).
The functions of NSTDFC are:
To finance viable income generating Scheme(s)/ Project(s) costing upto Rs.10.00 Lakhs through the SCAs
for the economic development of eligible Scheduled Tribes.
To provide grants through the SCAs for undertaking training programmes for the skill and entrepreneurial
development of eligible Scheduled Tribes.
To upgrade skills of officials of the SCAs through periodic training.
The various schemes under the NSTFDC are term loan, bridge loan, scheme for women, self help groups, micro
credit, marketing support and training. The MPTFDC set a target in 1999-2000 to provide employment to 850
tribal beneficiaries and training to 200 tribal beneficiaries under the self-employment schemes funded by the
NSTDFC,and to provide employment to 10000 beneficiaries under schemes sanctioned by NABARD. However,
there seems to be no activity since 2000.
Directorate of Tribal Area Development and Planning is involved with the preparation of the Tribal Sub-Plan,
for which funding is generated from the State Plan resources, the SCA to TSP, grant funds under Article 275 (1)
and institutional finance.
Recognizing the need for initiating livelihood generating activities in a sustained and focused manner, the
Ministry of Tribal Affairs also established an organization to take up marketing development activities for Non
Timber Forest Produce (NTFP), which is a key source of livelihoods for tribals. The Tribal Cooperative
Marketing Development Federation of India Limited (TRIFED) was set up in 1987to serve the interest of the
tribal community and work for their socio-economic development by undertaking marketing of tribal
products.TRIFED has set up exclusive outlets all over India under the brand TRIBES INDIAfor the sale of tribal
art and crafts objects artifacts.
The MP Minor Forest Produce (Trading & Development) Co-operative Federation Ltd. is a state level body
that was formed in 1984 to give benefits to forest dwellers in collection and trade of forest produce. This
Federation co-ordinates collection and processing of Tendu leaves, Sal Seed, &Kullu Gum through Primary
Forest Produce Co-operative Societies in the districts of the State which are forest produce areas and
organisesthe sale of such produce. In addition, other non-nationalised Non Wood Forest products (NWFP) are
also being collected and traded by the Primary Forest Produce Co-operative Societies.
The Tribal Research and Development Institute, Bhopal (GoMP), under the administrative control of the Tribal
Welfare Department of the State Govt, receives financial assistance from the Ministry of Tribal Affairs,
Government of India. The Institute is the premier organization in the state engaged in tribal research. It
implements the schemes for Documentation of Tribal Culture, Survey, evaluation and impact assessment,
Organizing fairs and festivals that showcase tribal culture, and Training of officials of development
departments posted in Tribal areas. It also maintains a museum of tribal artifacts and offers Research
Fellowships.
Forest Department, District Van Mandal, Dhar undertook large scale plantation of Bamboo in 2010-11 and
plans to undertake large scale Mahua plantation in year 2011-12. While the plantation of Bamboo raises the
issue of it being a water intensive species that draws water from the ground water table which poses a
problem in the water scarce areas, the plantations open increased avenues for bamboo and Mahua based
lv
2013
industries in the short and long term respectively as bamboo is a fast growing plant while Mahua takes time to
grow into a tree.
DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES
While there is clear potential for the tribal communities to fit within the ambits of eco-tourism, which has
been accepted at Central and State levels as a fast-emerging sector of the tourism economy, it is important to
focus on the need to build capacity within the communities to be able to make tourism as a non-intrusive
activity that does not come at the cost of losing the integrity and vitality of such communities, in which the
crafts and performing arts are embedded within a fragile socio-cultural context.
The Ministry of Tourism, GoI, has recently brought out the Revised Guidelines of Tourism Development (rev.
09/12/2011) containing a Scheme of Capacity Building for Service Providers for Rural Tourism. The scheme
provides for a range of capacity building activities, with the strict provision that the activities should be
initiated with local community Participation initiated through stakeholder meetings. The activities covered
are as follows:
1. Baseline survey of the site local community.
2. Enhancing local community awareness of the tourism process.
3. Gender sensitization
4. Capacity building/design inputs related to art & craft skills, cultural & natural heritage
5. Gurukul process
6. Capacity building for various aspects of visitor handling
7. Convergence with other yojanas/schemes in the site
8. Environment care and access to cleaner technology with local material, local skills and local
traditional styles
9. Marketing convergence including the travel trade for domestic and international visitors.
The scheme also attaches an indicative list of various software items that can be undertaken under the broad
ambits of the above. The software falls within three main groups:
TRAINING OF TRIBAL STAKEHOLDERS
Workshops for preparatory activities at site: sensitization, awareness-building, social mobilization

and interpretation.
Training for visitor handling skills/local hospitality-guides, reception, lodging, cuisine
Building capacity of village groups for entertainment-culture, festivals, history, literature, and
special strengths including nature and heritage.
Imparting of skills for targeted disadvantaged groups.
CREATION OF TOURISM FACILITIES
Facilitation of creation of common facilities (gram jharokas) on village/community common

property resources and facilitation of construction of vishramsthals using traditional skills,
knowledge, local material and in accordance with regional/zonal/local norms.
Facilitating setting up of gram kalakendras-craft museums, centers for local music, song, dance &
drama, street theatre etc and in accordance with regional/zonal/local norms.
SECTORAL CAPACITY-BUILDING
Environment safeguards and assessment of destination life-cycle.

Establishing operational norms for visitor satisfaction
Tourism product development and integration of target groups with tourism supply chain
Setting up marketing model support-brochures, postcards, websites, developing material in local
language, imaginative use of media etc (domestic and international).
lvi
2013
Packaging of culture and craft-based tourism products.

The schemes are to be implemented by the State Tourism Development Corporation and the District Project
Implementation Committee consisting of at least five members, including the District Collector/ Deputy
Commissioner, selected NGO/Implementing Partner, State Tourism Department/Tourism Development
Corporation representative, DRDA and local community stakeholders. The NGO/Implementing Partner would
be consensually identified by the District Collector with the local community. The scheme allocates a
maximum amount of Rs. 20 lakhs as Central Financial Assistance.
A number of other schemes are contained in the State Five-Year Plan. The Five Year Plans prepared by the
GoMP are a document of the overall policies of the state in all the sectors of the economy. 2012 is the horizon
year for the 11th Five Year Plan of MP, and the 12th Plan is yet to be prepared. It can be expected that the
12th Plan will carry forward many of the key aspects of the current plan, such as the promotion of tourism,
handicrafts development through SHGs (self help groups) and SMEs (small and medium enterprises), and the
strengthening of panchayats.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT
th
The 11 Plan emphasizes fiscal provisioning for the development of rural areas, with a number of existing
schemesmainly schemes initiated by the GoIsuch as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(NREGS), the Indira Gandhi Garibi Hatao Yojana (DPIP), the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), and
the Backward Regional Grant Fund (BRGF). In addition, it proposes New Schemes for rural connectivity, the
Mukhya Mantri Awas Yojna, the state governments own SGSY for roads, and a Working Plan for Water
Storage.
INDUSTRY AND EMPLOYMENT
In the sector of Industry and Employment, the 11th Plan had a number of provisions that can have a direct and
profound impact on the livelihoods of tribal communities.
Under Khadi and village industries, the Plan provided for subsidy to spinners, subsidy on khadi production,
assistance to family-oriented units, marketing assistance and assistance for raw material. In the area of
Handicrafts, the Plan provided for training to artisans, tools subsidy to craftsmen, subsidy for work sheds, the
organization of workshops for technical and design guidance, support for sample production to train artisans
in new designs, and the provision for procurement of job-work performed by the artisans as per market
demand. The Plan also provided for study tours of successful craft clusters and metro markets, and instituted a
state award for artistic creations. There is insufficient data about how many individuals/communities availed
of these schemes; however, they can provide guidance to future provisioning.
In the area of Sericulture, the Plan supports the development of sericulture as an industry that supports other
subsidiary cottage and village industries, providing supplementary employment in the rural areas during the
lean agriculture period. The two activities under sericulture included forest base Tussar cocoon production
from Saja and Arjuna trees and agro-based Mulberry.
The ways in which subsidies may work in the sector of industry is illustrated by the Industrial Promotion Policy
2004 and Action Plan (including the Provisions as Amended in 2007) framed by the Department of Commerce,
Industry and Employment, GoMP. There were special provisions for entrepreneurs who belong to a scheduled
caste or scheduled tribe, andfor women:
Interest subsidy to SC/ST and Women Entrepreneurs would be provided at the rate of 5% for a
period of 5 years without any maximum limit and irrespective of the category of the district.
Small Scale Industries set up by SC/ST and Women Entrepreneurs in advanced districts would be
given investment subsidy at the rate of 15% of Fixed Capital Investment to a maximum of Rs. 5
lacs.
lvii
2013

Maximum limit of Investment subsidy on fixed capital investment for Small Scale industries set up
by SC/ST and Women Entrepreneurs would be Rs.6 lacs, Rs. 12 lacs and Rs. 17.50 lacs in backward
'A', 'B', and 'C' category of districts respectively.
ART & CULTURE

th
17
In the area of art & culture, the 11 Plan made provision for Grants-In-Aid to Tribal Welfare Institutions. If
the citizens of the CDP cities in Dhar and Alirajpur can create institutions for the purpose, then such grants can
assist them in bringing out the special potential for the promotion of tribal art and culture.
HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE
th
The broad targets for the 11 Plan in the sector of health were to reduce growth of population while also
reducing infant mortality and offering maternity care. The focus was on implementing the schemes covered
under National Rural Health Mission, such as the Janani Suraksha Yojana (for maternity health), the Prasav
Hetu Parivahan Evam Uphar Yojana (mobility for pregnant mothers), the Vijay Raje Janani Beema Kalyan
18
Yojana (maternity insurance), and the Deen dayal Chalit Aspathal Yojna (mobile hospitals). The Deendayal
th
scheme for mobile hospitals has been discontinued, and the fate of other schemes in the 12 Plan is not
known. However, this is a vital component of the welfare activities that need to be undertaken in the tribal
districts like Dhar and Alirajpur.
WELFARE OF SCHEDULED TRIBES
The vision for the welfare of scheduled tribes has as its goal to bridge gap between tribes and non-tribes
having considering Human Development Indices. The specific objectives in pursuance of this goal all
th
emphasize education as a means for development. Specifically, the 11 Plan provided for promotion of literacy
in tribal communities in general and ST girls in particular with special attention to low female literacy pockets,
striving for 100% enrolment of all children in the elementary level between the age group 5 to 14 years,
converting 150 elementary Schools into Ashram Schools, and, since drop-out rates is a major intriguing
problem, arresting drop-out tendencies through various support schemes like Mid Day Meal, Free Uniform,
19
Sweater, Shoes, Socks, Scholarship, Distribution of bicycles and Free Text Books etc.
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
th
In the area of urban development, the 11 Plan had concentrated on the JNNURM and HSDP programs of
th
Government of India, which were started in the last year of the 10 Plan. The schemes did not have provision
specifically for towns in underdeveloped and developing areas of the state. As has been discussed in this
paper, specific schemes are needed to address the problems of emerging urban areas in tribal districts.
EDUCATION
The Tribal Development Department of the GoMP has defined the development agenda for tribes in the state
through the following action points:
1. to make tribals come up to the same education and economic status as rest of society
2. to make the most backward of the tribals communities upto the level of more developed tribes
3. to emphasize educational schemes for tribals
17

4.
to give importance to the culture of tribes in the school curriculum, and to encourage the women
workers through cooperatives through Antyoday self-employment schemes and other schemes
under the schemes financed by state departments, to create employment opportunities
5. to increase number of residential schools for the tribals
6. to create grain banks in tribals areas and to improve food security
7. to improve human development indicators for tribals
8. to bring about qualitative improvement in the education of tribals
As can be seen from the above, most of the points are concerning education, which is seen as a necessary
condition for the advancement of the tribal communities, intrinsically connected with their human
development and livelihoods based on self-help groups (SHGs) and cooperatives.
The Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) for ST students take their place among the Jawahar Navodaya
Vidyalayas, the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas and the Kendriya Vidyalayas. These are set up in States/UTs
with grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution of India. The education is provided entirely free of cost.
The objective of EMRS is to provide quality middle and high level education to Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in
remote areas, not only to enable them to avail of reservation in high and professional educational courses and
as jobs in government and public and private sectors but also to have access to the best opportunities in
education at par with the non ST population. The means of achieving this are described as comprehensive
physical, mental and socially relevant development of all students enrolled in each and every EMRS Students
will be empowered to be change agent, beginning in their school, in their homes, in their village and finally in a
larger context.Admission to these schools will be through selection/competition with suitable provision for
preference to children belonging to Primitive Tribal Groups, first generation students, etc.The number of seats
for boys and girls are equal in number.
In Dhar district, there is only a single EMRS school, located in Kukshi, called the Kanya Shiksha Parisar. The
present (2012) enrolments are as follows: 1 boy in Class 6, 60 girls in Class 6, 57 girls in Class 7 and 59 girls in
Class 8.
Under the GoMPs Kanya Saksharta Protsahan Yojna (KSPY), the state government provides financial
assistance to encourage girls into schools to reduce the girls fallout rate from schools. After clearing the board
th
th
th
exams of 5 , 9 and 10 standards, the girls are given 500, 1000 and 3000 rupees, in two installments, in April
and December. In order to ensure that the scheme benefits the poor, the daughters of those
parents/guardians who are tax-payersare not eligible. Present enrolments in Dhar district are 56 girls in Class
6and 59 girls in Class 9. There have been no enrollments in Alirajpur district.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGY
The Central and state governments have initiated a number of schemes and policies under various
departments specially formulated for tribal development. It is important to see how these schemes and
initiatives can be accessed by the tribal population. The low literacy levels in tribal population result in low
awareness levels towards accessing these benefits. It is important that the capacity of local bodies be
increased for them to assist the tribal population in realising the potential opportunities that they can avail for
socio-economic development.
At the same time, it must be highlighted that, given the sustained backward linkages that urban tribal
communities will share with their rural and forest-based counterparts, there is tremendous potential for
planned and structured utilization of such supply chains for enhanced economic activities that benefit the
tribes.
A variety of schemes are available for the development of tribal areas. However, the key initiatives can be
grouped under the following:
lix
2013
Relationship between the urban and immediate rural context

Incorporating NTFP into the urban economy.
Watershed development
Devising mechanisms for efficient irrigation to stop decline in agricultural production and linking the
urban and rural consumption of water. This can be done through provision of groundwater recharge
structures; check dams; weirs; Bori Bandhs; SWC measures; BAIF style Wadis; revival of medium
20
and minor irrigation canals through PIM; and Promoting water saving micro irrigation technologies.
Provision of space for urban agriculture and forestry
Urban agriculture
Urban forestry: encouraging plantation of indigenous species within ULB areas, to create a renewable
and sustainable resource for the city.
Ensuring food security within the ULB planning area by assessing the consumption pattern and
productive capacity of the ULB and its rural catchment.
Provision of zoning and space for SME industrial activity
Appropriate linkages between the city and the forest areas in its catchment
Appropriate land use regulations to permit and promote and house hold industries
Support for secondary and tertiary occupations related to NTFP, like processing and warehousing and
distribution
a. Setting up honey Processing units, manufacturing of cosmetics and food supplements,
preparation of squashes and herbal colas.
b. Distillation of aromatic plants, manufacturing of Ayurvedic, Unaani and Homeopathic medicines.
c. Exploring development of products from Mahua.
d. Manufacturing of bamboo products.
e. Oil expeller units.
Trading of indigenous raw materials in a regulated manner. Private players such as Messrs Ferrero
Trading of Luxemburg, Italy purchase the states small forest produces like Sal seeds, Mahua flowers,
mango stones in large quantities.An analysis of the socio-economic impact of setting up of such units
needs to be conducted and the possibility of addition of units for processing of agro and forest based
21
products through participation of private players may be explored.
Tourism services based in ULB areas and providing non-intrusive access to the rural and forest areas.
Encouragement to indigenous crafts, with the ULB providing market link ups and space for production
and trading in crafted goods.
Capacity building in the ULB
The reduction of middlemen and strengthening of urban local body and state regulation should be
explored as opportunities.
Microfinance.
Enable the regulation of the Mahua based trade and industry.
Preparation of a Tribal Development Plan for the towns that have high tribal population, establishing
linkages at the district and regional levels.
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities
Literacy and education among ST communities
Improving literacy levels by provision of better educational infrastructure in a decentralised fashion so

that easy access is enabled across the NP boundary.

Communication through such means as community radio
Urban Services for the Poor
Healthcare, especially maternity care and eye care
Socio-economic development of workers who need to shift from rural to urban economy
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL TOWNS: MANDAV
Mandav presents a peculiar case in terms of tribal development. Due to inclusion of peripheral villages and
forest dwellers within the NP boundary, the town had 81.6% tribal population. This trend has not changed as
yet and a very high tribal representation was evident in the Stakeholder consultations for the CDP. The
villagers and forest dwellers within the NP area; and to some extent even the residents of the urban core are
still leading a predominantly tribal lifestyle. The tribals in villages and forest areas are mostly dependent on
agriculture and harvest two crops in areas with irrigation facilities and one crop in areas without irrigation
facilities. The tourism base of the town does not benefit the tribals in any way. Most of the tribals have to
resort to working as manual labour and commute to neighbouring towns. Womenfolk work as agricultural
labour to make a living after the cropping season. Tribals have high livestock ownership but no means of
revenue generation from these. Tribals in Mandav dont have access even to basic services like water supply
and education and have to commute for several hours on foot to access facilities available in core town.
In order to promote tribal development in Mandav, the following aspects need focus:
Enhancing agricultural produce and trading opportunities through provision of irrigation facities like
ponds across the NP area. Nearly all villages in Mandav have ponds for irrigation which are getting
silted. These ponds need to be restored for agricultural uses. Mahua, custard apple and Khurasani imli
are some products that are exported out of Mandav and the tribal population is engaged in their
collection. Tribals grow crops such as wheat, chana, maize and soya along with fruits, vegetables and
herbs. Hence, setting up of a local Mandi for non grain related produce is proposed.
Agro based industries in the region need to be set up to increase profit margin for the farmers. Since
land for the same cannot be made available within the town, such industries can be set up in Nalcha.
Livestock related economic activities like dairy and poultry farms can be established under funding
from BRGF and other schemes.
Promoting tribal culture and related festivals is imperative to promoting tribal development in
Mandav. The traditional festivals of Bhil tribals, their traditional costumes, jewellery and marriage
ceremonies which are celebrated together by villagers from various villages need to be conserved
through funding from Grants-In-Aid to Tribal Welfare Institutions.
Promoting opportunities to increase income generation opportunities from tourism by increasing
interaction of tribals and tourists. It is proposed that activities like farm tourism, village tourism and
decentralized hotel facilities with ownership of tribals can be initiated.
Promoting herb trading through the Mandi
Provision of physical and social infrastructure like laying of water supply lines, roads, provision of
schools and health centres is proposed to be taken up on a decentralized basis.
Since tribals in NP area are extremely poor, it is proposed that the NP should increase its revenue
earning from tourism and should impose lower taxes on tribals and undertake more development
work in tribal villager areas.
The above mentioned proposals will aid tribal development and should be aimed at improving the quality of
life of tribals without them having to compromise on their traditional habits or lifestyle.
