THE SLUM CONDITIONS OF DELHI The slums in Delhi can be categorised in two basic categories as under: Notified Slum Areas, i.e. areas which are notified as ‘Slum areas’, as per the provisions of the Slum Area (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1956. The JJ Clusters, i.e. jhuggie clusters on public lands in the form of illegal encroachments.

Un-authorised Colonies in Delhi * 103 colonies regularised in 1962 * As per 1980 survey, a new list of 607 unauthorised colonies was prepared, out of which 567 were regularised till October, 1993 * 1639 unauthorised colonies are now awaiting regularisation under the notified policy of regularisation in the year 2008.

Rehabilitation Policy The Slum & JJ Deptt of MCD (now DUSIB) had earlier been following three pronged strategy for looking after the problems associated with the existence of slums and squatter clusters. Strategy I  Carrying out environment improvement of existing slums under the EIUS scheme in the slum clusters. Strategy II  In-situ redevelopment on the JJ cluster sites, where the land owning agencies gave NOC for utilising their land for planned development and reallocation of plots to the inhabitants. Strategy III  Resettlement of the jhuggi jhopri inhabitants on a newly developed site, in the form of allocating either a plot of 18/12.5 sqm. or by providing a built up tenement of 25-40 sqm. covered area.

Govt. Role and Challenges: NOC from Land Owning Agency required to allow the people to stay on the land. Subsequently, Land tenure may be provided to people on a leasehold basis, at the prevalent cost. People may pay for the land cost through community savings or long-term loans.

Govt. Role and Challenges: Govt. to enable Finance through NGOs and micro-finance institutions as no Banks are coming forward for providing loans Govt. to work closely with local NGOs to facilitate and encourage the formation of local CBOs for future sustainability, sense of ownership and belonging. Govt. to provide basic services, infrastructure and social amenities. As much as possible, all infrastructure should involve participation from the local community in construction and maintenance.
