1. The JnNURM and Access to Basic Services

2. BSUP: Basic Services to the Urban Poor? JnNURM outcome: “All urban residents will be able to obtain access to a basic level of urban services.” The BSUP sub-mission: legal access to water, electricity and sewerage. The JnNURM in Chennai - increasing access to services under the UIG; constructing more resettlement colonies.

3. Access to Water and Sanitation Per capita supply of water in Chennai: 75.8 – 133 lpcd 42,212 households (Census 2011) who depend on 572/714 public toilets in Chennai District

4. Slums and Resettlement Colonies Only 26% of 10, 79,414 slum dwellers had access to safe drinking water within their premises. 71% of the non-slum population had this facility (Census 2001). Also, more than a third of the households in the surveyed slums had no latrines (Census 2001). In non-notified slums the number of persons sharing a water tank/tap was found to be 620 Residents of Kannagi Nagar and Semmenchery receive only 20 lpcd (FLLRC and CRF fact finding report)

5. Governance of Water and Sanitation The responsibility of managing water and sanitation is spread over different government departments : Chennai Metrowater Board Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board Corporation of Chennai Other municipalities

11. Problems with the Mission’s Approach Will these “un-served streets” be identified in notified and non-notified slums? Will the project be restricted only to constructing underground infrastructure? Or will the urban poor also get connections to the underground system? Resettlement colonies – pucca houses with poor access to services.

12. JnNURM II: Will the JnNURM II address governance issues? How will JnNURM II ensure that investment in water and sewerage directly impacts the urban poor?
