ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This project consumed huge amount of work, research and dedication. Still, implementation
would not have been possible if we did not have a support of many individuals and organizations.
Therefore we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of them.
First of all we are thankful to Alandi AMC for their active support and for providing necessary
information and data concerning City Development Plan.
We are also grateful to Mr. Samir Kailas Bhumkar (Chief Officer) and Mrs Vaijayanta Ashok
Umargekar (President) for their guidance in understanding town’s characteristics. Without their
superior knowledge and experience, the Project would lack in quality of outcomes, and thus their
support has been essential.
We would like to express our sincere thanks towards City-Engineer, Sanitation Inspector, various
departments and all staff of Municipal Council who devoted their time and knowledge in the
implementation of this project.
Nevertheless, we would also like to thank people of Alandi for their enthusiastic participation and
involvement while survey and consultation in preparation of City Development Plan.

1 BACKGROUND
1.1 City Development Plan
City planning involves the intricate details of understanding the requirements of the city and its
various divisions and utilizing the land to the best of benefit. It is like promoting development by
implementing decisions and turning the town into a planned city, without interfering with the
environmental features. Cities play a critical role in the economic development process of the
nation. They are the engines of economic growth and places of high productivity. While cities
generate more than a proportionate share of the State’s income, they also pose certain
challenges. The challenges such as providing access to serviced land for housing the urban poor,
provision of basic amenities and facilities and a system to plan and manage these. Thus, urban
investments in economic, physical and social infrastructure at adequate levels are a prerequisite.
A City Development Plan (CDP) is a comprehensive document outlining the vision and
development strategy for future development of the city, prepared in consultation with a wide
range of stakeholders to identify the thrust areas to be addressed on a priority basis in order to
achieve the objectives and the vision. It thus provides the overall framework within which
projects are identified and put forward in a City Investment Plan.
CDP aims at helping the urban local bodies (ULBs) to-
a) Develop a vision for its city;
b) Ascertain the gap between existing infrastructure and investment;
c) Set out priorities, sequencing and timeline for undertaking various reforms and specific
investment and
d) Financial mechanism of investment.
CDP is a vision document of the city through which a medium term perspective of city planning
can be worked out. The exercise is a consultative process through which stakeholder opinion is
collected for deciding the direction and priorities of city development. CDP then provides lists of
PLANITECH CONSULTANTS 1
priorities and investment plans through which a detailed project can be developed for each
priority pertaining to primary infrastructure and basic services to urban poor.
Taking the cue from the central government's Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM) scheme which aimed at executing infrastructure projects in major cities and metros,
the Maharashtra government has come up with a funding scheme, worked out on similar lines,
for infrastructure projects in smaller cities in the state.
The scheme — Maharashtra Suvarna Jayanti Nagarotthan Maha-abhiyan, aims to support
municipal bodies not falling under the JNNURM scheme. It is an attempt to raise the standard of
living of people in smaller cities by improving transportation, solid waste management, water
supply and eliminating slums. The scheme will be implemented in class 'D' municipal corporations
and main municipal councils.
The major objectives of the Maharashtra Suvarna Jayanti Nagarotthan Maha-abhiyan are to
provide various urban infrastructure in the urban areas of the State as per the standards
prescribed by the Government, develop infrastructure facilities related to education and health
as per the class of the city and enhance the social infrastructure along with the aesthetic features
of the cities.
The state government has suggested three optional modules to implement the scheme. The
mission cities will first have to explore the possibility of implementing the projects under public-
private partnership (PPP). If the PPP model does not work out, the state will provide assistance
either by 'viability gap funding' or by providing loans at concessional rates. Funds will be allocated
for the approved projects in the state budget. The scheme focuses on:
 Improving and augmenting the economic and social infrastructure of cities.

 Ensuring basic services to the urban poor, including security of tenure.
 Initiating wide-ranging urban sector reforms whose primary aim is to eliminate the
legal, institutional and financial constraints that have impeded investment in urban
infrastructure and services upon completion of the scheme, it is expected that the
respective ULB will have achieved the following outcomes:
 Modern and transparent budgeting, accounting, and financial management systems
will be designed and adopted for all urban services and governance functions.
 A citywide framework for planning and governance will be established and become
operational. All urban residents will be able to access a basic level of urban services.
 Financially self-sustaining agencies for urban governance and service delivery will be
established through reforms.
 Local services and governance will be conducted in a transparent and accountable
manner.
 E-Governance applications will be introduced in Gaothan with transparent functions of
ULBs/ parastatals resulting in reduced cost and time of service delivery processes. In
order to be eligible for grant assistance under the scheme, GoI requires eligible cities
to prepare project proposals (detailed project reports) and submit them to state level
nodal agencies for appraisal.
Figure 1-1 Framework of CDP
Cities have to draw up a timeline for implementing the urban sector reforms. Preparation of a
City Development Plan (CDP) taking into consideration the potential for development of the city
over the next 20 years will be mandatory for every urban area participating in the Maharashtra
Suvarna Jayanti Nagarotthan Maha-Abhiyan. The CDP should incorporate, based on the future
needs, measures necessary for development of various basic urban services, education and
health infrastructure and social facilities for the city. The Alandi Municipal Council (AMC) plans
to avail of the funds under this scheme for the improvement of its urban infrastructure. These
funds would need to be directed towards priority actions and projects.
In this context, AMC appointed Planitech Consultants, Pune to prepare the City Development
Plan (CDP) of the Alandi town.
1.2 Objectives of CDP
The City Development Plan (CDP) is aims at identifying an integrated solution to problems facing
the city. It identifies an economic growth strategy as well as actions that would be required by
various agencies to ensure sustainable development of the city. The CDP is the council’s
corporate strategy that presents both a vision of a desired future for the city and the
municipality’s organization, as well as mission statements on how the municipality, together with
other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving this long-term vision in the next five years.
“It is essential for a city to systematically think of the future, and determine how it wishes to
shape that future.” A City Development Plan (CDP) is both a perspective and a vision for the
future development of a city. It presents the current stage of the city’s development – where are
we now? It sets out the directions of change – where do we want to go? It identifies the thrust
areas — what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also suggests alternative routes,
strategies, and interventions for bringing about the change – what interventions do we make in
order to attain the vision? It provides a framework and vision within which projects need to be
identified and implemented. It establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of
investment decisions.
The CDP should lead to the translation of missions into actions and actions into outcomes. The
objective of involving stakeholders through a consultation process and securing endorsements
of the proposed actions of the local body and other implementing agencies is to hold these bodies
accountable for their mission statements, actions and expected outcomes. The CDP clearly
defines how a council will serve its customers (businesses and citizens). The CDP will also outline
how the council plans to run its business. The CDP will elaborate how the council intends to
manage public finance in a modern and transparent way; execute urban planning and governance
in line with an established framework; and become more responsive -cost and time efficient – by
availing of technology in its governance and service delivery processes. Finally, the CDP will reveal
the council’s strategy to manage its resources, i.e., how it intends to increase revenues and
expand its tax base to allow for self-sustaining urban service delivery; improve its credit-
worthiness; and recruit and retain a skilled workforce.
1.3 The CDP Process Adopted By Alandi
The formulation of the CDP for Alandi was divided into four phases and involved the following
tasks and activities. The entire process is as shown below:
Figure 1-2 Approach to formation of City Development Plan
The steps involved in the preparation of city development plan of Alandi are shown in the
following image.
The City Development Plan, thus prepared with the involvement of the stakeholders is a forward-
looking consensus program for the city.
It outlines the way to:
 Improve service levels,

 Improve financial sustainability, and
 Create a citizen-friendly, accountable and transparent administration by implementing
reforms as per the scheme guidelines.
ABOUT TOWN
ALANDI
2 ABOUT ALANDI TOWN
2.1 History of the town
Alandi have a special stature in the religious atmosphere of Maharashtra. Saint Dnyaneshwar
Maharaj took Samadhi in Thirteenth century year 1296 AD. Dnyaneshwari was written in Alandi
which is conversion of Bhagwat Geeta.
The name of Saint Dnyaneshwar is on the lips of everyone in Maharashtra. He was a born
Enlighten. He had control over the elements of his body. His work Dnyaneshwari is the crest-
jewel of Marathi literature. Dnyaneshwari is in simple style, the beautiful illustrations and the apt
similes have rendered the book attractive, charming and extremely useful. Dnyaneshwari is to
Maharashtrians what the Ramayan of Tulsidas is to the Hindi-speaking people. Dnyandev was a
great social and religious reformer. He boldly criticised his predecessors. Popularly known as
“Devachi Alandi”, Alandi has the samadhi and a temple of the Saint Poet Sant Dnyaneshwar. The
temple was built in 1570. The Saint spent most part of his short lifespan in Alandi. He inspired
the entire Maharashtra to worship Lord Panduranga. Like Pandharpur, Alandi is also a true a
pilgrim center for every Maharashtrian. Alandi has been an important religious destination for
the Varkari and has been a place of spirituality. Especially in context with Maharashtra’s cultural
and religious importance, Alandi has been a major destination with a large number of devotees
of Vitthal Rakhumai visiting the town especially in the month of Ashadha. In the ancient times,

4 CITY ASSESSMENT – SITUATION ANALYSIS
City assessment provides a reality check for visioning, through a basic understanding of the
city, its environment and various resources, the context for strategy formulation, a baseline
for assessment of the demand-supply gap, past trends to influence projections for the future
and a basis for measurement of achievement of the plan. Thus various aspects of the city’s
development should have been examined and understood – from a macro as well as a micro
perspective which are stated in this chapter.

year 2001 and 10,429 in 1991. The last two decade showed considerable growth rate of 71% and
63%. The increase in the population since 1991 is mainly due expansion in the commercial and
economic activities in and around the Alandi town.
4.1.2 Floating Population
As mentioned earlier, Alandi is an important pilgrim centre in Maharashtra. The floating

population in the town is attributable mainly to the large number of pilgrims visiting the town.

pilgrims visit Alandi daily. However, on Thursdays and weekends this figure goes to as high as
25000. On the Ekadashi days (twice in a month) about 60,000 to 70,000 people visit Alandi. On
the two annual events of Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi, as many as 3 to 5 lakh pilgrims visit Alandi.

to the overall increase in religious tourism in the country, and also to the increase in the
population of the Pune and Mumbai metropolitan regions, and hence the inflow of devotees
from there.

4.1.3 Population Projection
Looking at the growth trend of the town, it is found that the growth rate is versatile as a result of
floating population. The graphical method for population projection show gradual increasing
trend. As we know, Alandi is an important pilgrim centre in Maharashtra. The large number of
floating population attributes the Alandi.
Also urbanization is accumulative in Alandi, As such the population projection by Arithmetic

increase method is not an appropriate method. An average of Incremental increase and
Geometric mean is found to be most suitable for Alandi. The population of the town is projected
up to 2037 with 5 years of intervals. The population at 2037 is 73534. At present 70% area is in
residential use and there is a large scope for developable area to accommodate more population
in future areas.

4.1.4 House Hold Size
The Average household size for Alandi is 3.98 according to 2011 census.
4.1.5 Sex Ratio
Sex ratio reflects the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Higher sex ratio denotes
higher out-migration of the male population and lower sex ratio is the sign of immigration of
single male population. Better economic opportunities have a dominant effect on in a migration
and vice-versa. Also the awareness amongst the people in terms of gender equality also affects
the sex ratio. Alandi has 775 females for every thousand males which is less than that of state
and district in 2011. Generally, rural areas have a higher proportion of females than the urban
areas as a higher degree of urbanization and more employment opportunity results in a lower
sex ratio due to single male in migration. The sex ratio figures for rural and urban areas are 933
and 904 for Pune district and that of Alandi is 775 in 2011. The Sex ratio in Alandi has been 904,
810, 830, 788 and 775 in 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011 respectively.

4.1.6 Child Sex Ratio
The Sex ratio worked out on the basis of population of all ages is not indicative of any clear picture
to know whether it is favourable for female or not. The sex composition at different ages of the
population is affected by a number of factors. Differential mortality rates and sex specific
migration are the two important factors to distort the natural sex ratio. When the net migration
rate for both male and female is equal, but still the sex ratio is distorted, then there is concern to
check whether there is any interference in natural sex ratio or the mortality rates are overriding.
With the limited data available we will only consider the age 0 to 6. Though the child mortality
rate is prevalent this sex ratio is not affected by any sort of migration. This sex ratio is very close
to sex ratio at birth. Any variation in this sex ratio depicts the differential child mortality rate and
extent of medical interference with pregnancies in the form of selective sex abortion also known
as female feticide.
The Crude sex ratio at birth for Alandi is 799 in 2011 it has decreased as compared to that of 913
in 2001.

4.1.7 Literacy
A person who can both read and write with understanding in any language is to be taken as
literate by the Indian census. A person, who can merely read but cannot write, is not literate. It
is not necessary that a person who is literate should have received any formal education or should
have passed any minimum educational standard. In addition to this for the 1991 census, all
children of age 6 years or less are treated as illiterates even though they may be going to school
and can read and write a few odd words. In earlier census, this limitation was up to the age of 4.
It has been also decided to use only effective literacy rates for the 1991 census, i.e. the ratio of
literates and population excluding the age group of 0-6. Factors such as location, proximity to
urban centers, caste composition, settlement pattern, level of social and economic development,
attitude of towns towards literacy and female education, availability of school and teachers, etc.
are quite important factors and each one of these factors exert considerable influence on the
literacy rate.
The Male literacy rate had increased from 89.31% to 95.04% and female literacy rate had
increased from 67.57% to 85.92% from 1991 to 2011. The male and female literacy rate shows
increment of 5.72% and 18.34% this reflects increasing awareness among people regarding
male–female equality and importance of education.

SOCIAL & CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
4.2 Social and cultural Environment
Socio-economic development can be facilitated and accelerated by the presence of social and
economic infrastructures. To assess the social and cultural environment; social infrastructure,
cultural traditions, and lifestyle in the context of the development are studied. The parameters
are covered and their significance are as below:
4.2.1 Educational Facilities
Education is a very important source of economic growth. Even though education may be a social
investment, it is also an economic investment since it enhances the stock of human capital. Alandi
is well equipped with public as well as private educational institutions and schools providing good
infrastructure for Primary education facilities. Four government schools are observed in Alandi.
Addition to the education facilities of Alandi is on account of establishment of an Engineering

College - MIT Academy of Engineering and three other colleges.
Figure 4-1 ZP Primary and secondary Schools
Figure 4-2 Private primary, secondary high school and Colleges.

Key issues
The sanitation facilities at ZP schools are observed satisfactory but have lot of scope for
improvement. The drinking water facility, playground facilities, computer lab facilities are seen
inadequate. Awareness of sanitation facilities is absent in few educational institutes.
4.2.2 Health Facilities
Like education; health is another important argument in the socio-economic production function.
Health is one of the major determinants of labour productivity and efficiency. Public health deals
with the environment in which economic activities take place.
Public health measures consists of the improvement of environmental sanitation, removal of

stagnant and polluted water, slum clearance, clean water supply, better sewage facilities, Control
of communicable diseases, provision of medical and health services, especially in maternal and
child welfare, health education, family planning, and above all, for the training of health and
medical personnel.
Figure 4-3 Facilities & Utilities in Town

There is a Rural Hospital situated in near chawadi chowk road which have 30 no. of beds for
various patients.In addition to these there are various private dispensaries and clinics in the town.
Also there are few hospitals in Alandi which have facility of admitting.
4.2.3 Cremation and Burial Facilities-
The sites of burial ground/Cremation grounds have adequate facilities like toilet facilities,
compound wall, water etc. There is problem of success which is from bus stand near the old
bridge.
4.2.4 Playgrounds and Parks
Gardens and Play Grounds: Alandi is deficient in respect of play grounds, gardens and open
spaces. Also there is no place for public meeting as well as playground in the town except the
ground near school no 4.
TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION
4.3 Traffic and Transportation
In physical sense, town is a static phenomenon. But town is not ultimately a cluster of physical
structures, walls, roofs or trees. It is obviously a base for the co-related and manifold life of the
human society which itself is a dynamic phenomenon. So the soul of the so-called physically static
town are the dynamic interactions of the social life of the human beings. Therefore the transport
and communication pattern of any town is one of the dynamic factors of the circulation system,
of which communication routes are as important as the blood circulating veins in a human body.
4.3.1 Connectivity
Alandi is connected to the District Head Quarter Pune and nearby main urban centres. It is also
connected to the Moshi village on the NH-50 by a road leading to Dehu, another religious town.
Chakan, a village also situated on the NH-50, is connected to Alandi by a MDR passing through
the town.
Internally, the entire Alandi town is connected by various small roads and lanes. The internal
roads are mostly 3 to 7m wide. However, the effective width is significantly reduced due to
roadside parking, shops. Also, the roads are irregular and of awkward shape.
The major roads in the Alandi town are as below. These roads cater to the demand of the
commercial traffic through the town.
At the time of the Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi days, vehicles are not permitted within Pilgrim
zone. However, on normal days vehicles are permitted upto the temple entrance and can be seen
parked in the small open area in front of the temple.
The Pune – Markal road, witnesses movement of heavy commercial vehicles such as trucks,
trailers and containers, carrying goods, machinery and materials for the industrial area near
Markal village. Indiscriminate parking of vehicles is seen along this road, particularly in front of
the AMC office, where the road takes a sharp turn. As a result, traffic jams are common in this
area even though the traffic volume could be relatively less.
Mahadwar Road provides connectivity to the temple premises and is one of the major roads in
Alandi town.
Similarly, the Pradakshina Road from the Wadgaon Chowk to Chakan Chowk witnesses traffic
congestions due to indiscriminate parking of vehicles along roadside, movement of heavy
vehicles and more pedestrian traffic due to location of the Holy Wall and other important temples
as well as many Dharma Shalas (Guest Houses) on this stretch.
The stretch from Wadgaon Chowk to Chakan Chowk is an important road in the town since it
forms part of the circular route for the holy walk around the temple and also has the other
important temples, religious places and Dharmashalas located along the road.
During the time of the Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi lakhs of pilgrims take a walk along the
circular route from Nagar Parishad Chowk-Markal Chowk-Rath-Wadgaon Chowk-Bharav Rasta-
Indrayani River bank and Nagar Parishad chowk. This circular route is called Pradakshina Marg.
The length of the road is about 2 km. The heavy vehicles to Markal and Chakan industrial area
and the PMT buses also ply via the Nagar Parishad Chowk-Markal Chowk-Rath-Wadgaon Chowk
stretch.
The nearest railway station is Akurdi and the nearest airport is Lohegaon. Alandi has good
accessibility to the district headquarters Pune through the Pune –Alandi Road.
Alandi-Dehu Road: This is the major road in Alandi Town along which the major commercial land
use is present.
Alandi- Bhosari Road: The road provides connectivity with Wadmukhwadi, Choviswadi and
Alankapuram.
Chakan –Alandi Road: The road provides connectivity with Chakan.
Alandi- Wadgaon and Alandi- Padmavati roads are also important roads which form the arterial
roads in Alandi.
As per the traffic flow and connectivity the roads within the municipal limit can be categorized
by the hierarchy of Arterial roads i.e. carrying major heavy traffic, the major roads provide
internal connectivity and major commercial activity is along these roads, the village roads provide
connectivity with the Alandi Gaothan and adjoining areas and act as collector roads. Roads which
connects residential pockets and newly developed colonies to collector roads are Local
roads/street. There is lack of organized marketing facilities like vegetable market and shopping
centre which give rise to traffic congestion.
The internal roads in the Alandi Gaothan area are in organic pattern and have width varying from
1.5m to 4.5 m in the core areas. The newly developed areas in Alandi area have widths varying
from 3m to 7.5m. The village roads/ collector roads have width varying from 6m to 12m.

4.3.3 Major Junctions
Major Junctions in Alandi are as follows: Chakan Chowk, Dehu Phata, Bhairavnath Chowk, Vitthal
Rukmini Chowk and Kelgaon Chowk.
Figure 4-6: Map showing Major Junctions
4.3.4 Public Transport system
The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) operates bus services to & from
Alandi every day. However, good bus and rail connectivity is available from Pune, which is well
connected by city bus services to Alandi.
The Pune Municipal Transport (PMT) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Transport (PCMT) run
local bus services for Alandi from Pune and Pimpri - Chinchwad, respectively. Open parking for
buses and waiting shelters for the passengers are provided near the old bridge near the
Municipality office for the PMT and PCMT buses, respectively. By virtue of the location of their
bus stations the PCMT buses do not enter the core area of the town, whereas the PMT buses
take Pradakshina Marg to enter/exit the town. The MSRTC bus station is located along the Pune
Road before the new bridge on the Indrayani River.
Figure 4-7 Alandi Bus Stand and Depot

4.3.5 Parking
Vehicle parking is a major area of concern in Alandi. At present there is only one parking lot
owned by the Alandi Municipality located near the Chakan Chowk. It is an open ground which is
also used for vehicle parking, and temporary vegetable shops and small restaurants along its
boundary.
The PCMT buses are parked at the PCMT bus stand located near the old river bridge.
However, the bus stand is located on the designated road to the existing crematorium along the
river bank. The PMT buses are parked at the PMT bus stand at the Chakan Chowk.
In addition to the above, the open area in front of the Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Samadhi
Temple is also used for vehicle parking Vehicles and auto rickshaws are also seen parked near the
PCMT bus stand, Chakan chowk, Wadgaon chowk and also along the road sides.
At the time of the Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi days, vehicles are not permitted within a radius
of 3 km of the Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Temples. However, on normal days vehicles are permitted
upto the temple entrance and can be seen parked in the small open area in front of the temple.
Parking spaces are not available in the town. People utilize the open land and curb sides of roads
for parking purpose.
Figure 1.4-8: Road side parking

4.3.6 Street lighting
Provision and maintenance of streetlights is an obligatory function of Alandi Municipality. There

are 1075 streetlights in the city. There are LED, CFL’s, Metal Halide and High mast in Alandi town.

 There is lack of organized marketing facilities like vegetable market and shopping centre
which give rise to traffic congestion in core area.
 No sufficient parking spaces in the town.
 No traffic controlling devices, Street Furniture and Signages in the town
 The existing road surface condition exhibits distress such as cracks, potholes, and
undulations.
 The new residential development is not sufficiently covered by streetlights
URBAN GROWTH SCENARIO
4.4 Urban Growth Scenario
The existing pattern of the land use is the result of the past growth and the present activities of
the town. Thus the survey of land use provides the knowledge about how much land is put to the
various uses and what are the factors in fixing the extent of land uses for the particular activities
and how much more is needed for providing future growth and to what scale.
4.4.1 Development Plan
The Development Plan (Second revision) was sanctioned on 30th September, 2015. The plan
follows the standard planning process based on UDPFI Planning norms and the guidelines of the
MRTP Act 1965.
Figure 4-10 Land Use as per Development Plan
4.4.2 Physical Constraints to Growth of Town
The Alandi Town is located in close proximity of two major cities. The part of the town towards
the north of river is dense and that towards south is newly developing and has scope for future
development.
4.4.3 Future Growth Direction
The future growth direction can be envisaged based on existing growth pattern and population
projection. Another factor deciding the direction of growth is proposed land use as per the
revised development plan. The town is majorly sprawling along the major roads i.e. along the
Pune, Chakan, Markal, Padmavati, Chimbali roads in all direction.

HOUSING AND URBAN POOR
4.5 Housing
Housing constitutes the major investment in contributing to the up gradation of the level of living
of people. Good housing improves the living standard especially of lower income groups, whose
living conditions are generally poor. It plays a multiple role in creating employment facilities,
accelerating economic growth maintaining health and social stability and preserving the values
of a decent family life. Housing data from Census 2011 is analysed and observations are made
based on the primary survey conducted in the town during the preparation of CDP.
Table 2.5: Housing Details-1

HOUSING:STATISTICAL OVERVIEW
Total population (census 2011) 28645
Total No. of households(census 2011) 7193
Average household size 3.98

The area under residential use is Approx 50 % of the total developed area of the Alandi town. The
present population is accommodated in the residential area. The overview of the city is discussed
in context of the housing characteristics in this section.

can conclude that maximum people belongs to middle and lower income groups and people
belonging to high income group is less. Also, the household size is 3.98
4.5.1 Housing overview
Congested area (Gaothan area): Alandi Gaothan or core area is densely populated among all the
villages. In terms of Height, G+2, G+1 and ground floor structures is observed. Some old
structures existed a long way back. The condition of houses ranges in Between semi-permanent-
kuccha. In terms of material of construction, mostly the structures are of brick masonry plastered
with cement-concrete
Figure 4-13: Housing Typology in Alandi
Peripheral Area: In areas other than the core, G+4 storied structures were mainly observed
certain ne building also stretch upto G+11 storey Buildings. A mixed land use of residential and
commercial is observed along the major roads.

4.6 Slum / Urban Poor
The existing urbanisation process and the new development trend will have direct implications
on the infrastructure and its environs of a city. The industrialisation creates the need of skilled
and unskilled labours; workers etc. and the socio-economic differences create slum areas within
the city. Slums are semi-permanent shelters, constructed with common locally available
materials .There are slums adjoining the city .The nature and condition of these slums vary from
place to place.
The Operational definition of slum is as follows:
 Inadequate access to safe water

 Inadequate access to sanitation and other infrastructure facilities
 Poor structural quality of housing
 Overcrowding and insecure residential status.
Table below indicates the slum areas and their details in Alandi.

Alandi town has approximately 6 % of population residing in 3 major slums pockets mentioned
in the above table. As per information given by Municipal Council Alandi slums at Wadgaon Road,
Chakan Chowk and Kalewadi road are the major slum settlements apart from the small hutments
observed in the peripheral areas.
4.6.1 Condition of slums
The slum pockets are spread in the city in such a way that it adversely affects the city’s
infrastructure. Unhygienic conditions are the main cause of spread of various diseases,
epidemics. Most of the slum areas have temporary structures.

Slum/EWS is situated at Chakan Road, Wadgaon Road and Kalewadi road. House Holds in these
areas do not have any water supply connection and depend on public water sources like wells
and hand pumps for their daily water requirements.
4.7.7 Water charges
In all there are 2828 Domestic and 419 Non- Domestic Water Supply connections in AMC .At
present, the connections are not metered. The tariff is on flat rate basis. Water tariff in the town
is based on the size of pipe connection. For domestic users, the tariff is Rs. 1200 per annum, tariff
for non-domestic is between Rs. 3000 to Rs. 10000. The following table gives us details of the

ACCESS TO SANITATION FACILITIES
4.8 Access to Sanitation Facilities
4.8.1 Household Sanitation
Alandi town, does not have a sewerage scheme. Most houses of the town have water seal latrines
with septic tank arrangement. The town has a predominant population belonging to the lower
economic strata and sanitation situation is inadequate in such areas. In many areas of the town,
sullage water and domestic sewage are let into storm water drains. As there is no Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP) in the town, untreated sewage from the open drains is discharged into
open areas and river resulting in unsanitary conditions. Overall, sanitation situation in the town
is not satisfactory and hence needs improvement.
As per census, there are 7193 residential properties out of which 86.2% of the households have
individual latrines and the rest rely on Public/Community toilets (CT) or practice open defecation.
Percentage of open defecation is as higher as 6.1% mostly observed in slum areas. The table
below indicated the household sanitation status as per the census 2011, very less number of HHs
have individual don’t have toilet facility.

As seen from the bar diagram; most of the houses have individual toilets with septic tank. From
the survey conducted it can be said that the grey water from the houses in the core zone that is
in Alandi are let into the open/closed drains.
4.8.1.1 Septage Management
At present, AMC owns suction machine but is in non-functional state currently.
4.8.1.2 Key observations about existing onsite treatment facility:
Survey of individual toilets were conducted in order to assess the availability and existing status
of onsite treatment and disposal of the waste in all these individual toilets by visiting household
toilets. Various factors such as location, Typology of onsite treatment facility, construction
techniques, cost incurred for construction and cleaning and maintenance practices followed. The
assessment revealed the following observations:
Locations of toilets Mostly attached to dwelling unit in existing and new

construction. The toilets are located closer to access road.
Detached toilet blocks from the main housing unit are also
prominent.
Mostly, septic tanks are located below the superstructure. In

4.8.1.3 Sanitation Status in Slums
The slum settlements at Wadgaon Road, Padmavati road and Kalewadi road are not considered
as legal and therefore these people do not want to expend for individual toilet construction.
People practice open defecation. AMC is under taking PMAY Project which is currently under
process of DPR preparation, it is considered that the sanitation problem for slums will be
completely resolved.
4.8.1.4 Issues in Household Sanitation:
 86.2 % of the total households in Alandi Municipal Council (AMC) have Households/
Individuals Sanitation facilities remaining households depend on Public toilets and open
defecation.
 Open urination is commly observed almost the floating population
 Untreated effluents are discharged directly into open drains especially in slums.
 Insufficient sanitation facilities for the pilgrims
4.8.2 Public Level Sanitation:
Alandi is an important pilgrim centre. The census data recorded that 8 % of HH in Alandi rely on
Public toilets. On an average, 12-15 lakh pilgrims visit Alandi annually. On normal days, about
10,000 to 12,000 pilgrims visit Alandi daily. However, on Thursdays and weekends this figure goes
to as high as 25,000. On the Ekadashi days (twice in a month) about 60,000 to 70,000 people visit
Alandi. On the two annual events of Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi, as many as 3 to 5 lakh pilgrims
visit Alandi.
Apart from the HH which do not have individual toilets the floating population is also dependent
on the Public level sanitation facilities. The details of the public toilets are listed below.
At present there are 19 Public toilets in the Alandi. Out of which 14 Toilets were available free of
cost for usage and 5 toilets were functioning of Pay and Use basis. Some toilets are constructed
by the private institutions for the tourist and pilgrim usage.

4.8.2.1 Operation and maintenance of the Public Toilets:
Local authorities are responsible for cleaning and maintenance of the Public Toilets blocks.
Presently, the number of public toilets is inadequate in Alandi. At certain places Public toilets lack
in facilities such as water, electricity, doors etc. which makes them unfit for use.
4.8.2.2 Key Issues in Public level sanitation facility
 Inadequacy in terms of number of toilet blocks

 Improper onsite treatment mechanism, lacking in periodical cleaning of septic
tanks leading to unhygienic conditions
 Lack of maintenance and cleaning leading the toilet blocks in state of neglect
 Lack of infrastructure such as ruptured septic tanks and broken doors as well as
water taps and unavailability for water supply make toilet blocks defunct
 Lack of awareness towards using public level sanitation infrastructure
4.8.2.3 Open Defecation Practices
Percentage of open defecation is 6.1 % as per the census data, 2011. The major open defecation

Open defecation takes place under the new and old bridge and along the river banks which have
not been constructed. The open areas along the riverbank are used by a large number of pilgrims
for defecation during the fairs and festivals.
Figure 4-23Existing Sanitation Scenario

Solid waste such as garlands, flowers etc gets collected in the area and decompose at the same
location.
The stagnant water also leads to breeding of algae and other plants.
In general the river water in the stretch between old and new bridge shows a dark green color
with dense growth of algae and other weeds. The river section has never been dredged and the
river bed is believed to be significantly silted in this stretch due to presence of two weirs and
other structures.
The water quality results show presence of fecal coliforms in the river water, which is dangerous
to public health as people drink the same water as ‘Tirth’.
The Old Bridge is an important entry point to Alandi from Pune side and the solid waste dumped
on either side and poor water quality gives an unpleasant appearance as one enters the town.
In particular, the left bank of the river behind the temple is in an unhygienic condition, which is
not in tune with that a clean and pious surrounding expected near a temple.
WASTE WATER, SEPTAGE AND STORM WATER

MANAGEMENT
4.9 Waste Water, Septage and Storm Water Management
The current section discusses existing wastewater and storm water management practices
highlighting conveyance and disposal system in the town.
4.9.1 Generation of wastewater
At domestic level, wastewater is generated mainly through individual toilets, bathrooms, kitchen
and wash areas (known as Mori - a place for washing and cleaning of clothes, etc.). The water
supply for the town at present is 108 lpcd. Considering 80% of waste water generation, the total
wastewater generated per capita is 86.4 lpcd.

4.9.2 Existing Conveyance System
At present there is underground sewerage system in certain parts of the town mostly towards
the eastern part of the Indrayani River the town, there are open drains which are covered with
available material at various places. The sewage disposal is based on septic tank system. A sullage
scheme was developed and executed in the year 1985 consisting of collecting sewer, sump well,
dry well and sump house, pumping machinery etc. The collecting sewer was laid along the left
bank of the river and it received sewage sullage from the Bhagirath Nala and other parts of the
town. However, the intercepting sewer is broken near the new bridge and the scheme is not
functional now. The scheme had been planned to utilise the sullage water for agricultural
purposes after primary treatment. A new intercepting sewer has been laid from behind the
Samadhi Mandir near Dnyaneshwar Ghat. The sewage and wastewater is let off in the Indrayani
River near the old bridge.
The rainwater run-off is drained through open gutters on the roadside. The drains carry both
sewage and storm water. The town has about 50 Kms of drains on both sides of the road. The
break-up of drains is given below in the following. The kutcha drains get blocked and led to
spillage of sewage on the roads. The drains finally lead to Bhagirathi nallah and river Indrayani.
Grey water from Kitchen and other wash areas is also directly discharged into the drains.
As per Census 2011 data 79.8 % HH have their waste water outlet in closed drains, 6.6% HH in
open drains and 13.7% HH do not have any waste water outlet or completely lack conveyance
system.

4.9.3 Existing Treatment and disposal system
There is no system in existence to treat domestic waste water generated in town. Having septic
tanks as the only means of primary treatment (that too, not in all the households) the black water
and grey water is directly discharged into open drains or closed drains or let in adjoining open
lands or discharged in the Indrayani River.
4.9.4 Storm water management
Collection and Conveyance
The storm water of the entire city flows through the existing drains. There are no separate
storm water drains provided alongside the roads. Through the available natural drains
(Bhagirath & Mankarnika Nallahs) the storm water from both north and south side of city
drains directly into the Indrayani River. The stretch of Bhagirath Nallah is covered. The
drains at other places are partially covered and few stretches of drains are open and
therefore outfall of each connecting drains cannot be traced.

4.9.4.1 Water logging or Flooding and Storm water pumping station
There is no major incidence of water logging in the city. There are incidence rise in water level
of Indrayani River and the flood lines are defined in the Development plan of the town. The area
inside the flood line are defined as no development zone.
4.9.4.2 Disposal arrangements
The storm of the entire city flows through the existing drains. The overall topography of the town
is sloping towards Indrayani River and there are hardly any incidences of water logging in the city.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

4.10 Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste is the unwanted or useless solid materials generated from combined residential,
industrial and commercial activities in a given area. It may be categorized according to its origin
(domestic, industrial, commercial, construction or institutional); according to its contents
(organic material, glass, metal, plastic, paper etc.). Management of solid waste reduces or
eliminates adverse impacts on the environment and human health and supports economic
development and improved quality of life. A number of processes are involved in effectively
managing waste from any urban / rural local body. These include monitoring, collection,
transport, processing, recycling and disposal. The activities associated with solid wastes from the
point of generation to final disposal can be grouped into six functional elements:
 Waste generation
 Waste handling and sorting,
 storage and processing at the source
 Collection
 Sorting, processing and transformation
 Disposal
4.10.1 Waste Generation
The total waste generated in the city is about 18 MT/day. However, as per discussion with the
local authority, the total waste collected by means of available vehicles and resources is about
15 MT/day.
The municipal solid waste mainly comprises waste from the Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Samadhi
Temple complex and other religious places in the town, households, markets & commercial
establishments, hotels & restaurants, guest houses (Dharmashalas) which are also used as
marriage halls, and hospitals in the town. AMC’s Health Department, headed by a Sanitary
Inspector, is responsible for the solid waste management in the town.
During the Ashadhi and Kartiki fairs, about 5 lakh pilgrims stay in Alandi for 2 days. The waste
generated during the fair season is estimated to be 30 tons during the two days.

4.10.1.1 Composition of Waste
Based on the field visit, discussions with the health department officials and the Consultant’s
understanding, it has been estimated that the organic content in the waste is about 50 percent.
The higher organic content is due to the organic waste generated from the religious activities
taking place in the town.
4.10.2 Existing Waste Collection
In Alandi Town, collection of solid waste in three sources:
 Door to Door (D2D) collection through Ghantagadi on a daily basis.

 Collection of waste from community bins, and
 Collection of waste through street sweeping and cleaning of roadside drains/ nallah.
A) Door to Door Collection: Collection of waste directly from generators (door to door
step collection). Primary collection is mainly the house to house / property - to -
property, majority of Households and Commercial establishments are covered under
D2D collection. The approximate quantity of waste collected and transported is 15
TPD. The 3 wheeler (Ghant Gadi) collecting vehicles are engaged for Door to Door
collection of MSW. In all 17 wards primary collection is covered. The Door to Door
collection is managed by AMC with the help of labours on contract basis. Places which
remain unserved by the Ghanta Gadi practice open dumping.

B) Secondary Collection, Waste collection from community bins:

Secondary collection follows the primary waste collection and is characterized by transfer of
waste collected from doorstep to community collection bins and bulk transportation of waste
from community collection units to centralized / decentralized processing units. Most of the
domestic waste is done by door to door collection.
There are dust-bins for the secondary storage of solid waste, there are 50 dust-bins for the
secondary storage of solid waste each with capacity of 1 MT. Dust-bins are placed at the
commercial and market places. Dustbins have been provided on all major and minor roads and
the average spacing of the dustbins is about 150 to 200 m. However, this spacing is not uniform
throughout the town and it varies from place to place depending on the density and locality.
Figure 4-24: Community Bins (Existing conditions)

C) Collection of Waste through street sweeping and cleaning of road side drains
One of the major activities in the solid waste management is the street sweeping activity, which
is time consuming, and labour intensive. In addition to street sweeping, due to the open drainage
system in some part of the town, drain desilting is also essential. AMC carries out street sweeping
and drain de-silting in the entire town. The total length of municipal roads and streets in Alandi
is 50 km. The total length of open drains 50Km.
Due to lack of sufficient manpower with the local body, frequency of the street sweeping and de-
silting activities is not uniform all over the town. Depending on the locality and necessity, street
sweeping is undertaken on the priority basis. However, main residential and other important
areas are swept daily and some of the areas are swept occasionally.
Frequency of Collection The frequency of waste collection from the dustbins and other dumping
points in the town varies depending on the quantity of waste accumulation and the locality. The
waste from prime residential locations, commercial areas, public places like markets, bus stand
etc is collected every day.
4.10.3 Garbage Transport System
At present, the ULB is having, 3 Tractors, 10 No’s of Ghantagadi and 2 Compactor for solid waste
collection. The Ghantagadi are used to collect the waste from HH. The solid waste is collected on
daily basis in major part. Tractors and Dumpers are used to collect solid waste from bins, open
areas, waste collected from street sweeping and cleaning of drains. There is no transfer station
in the city. The collected waste is directly dumped at dumping site located on Sr .No.193.
The details of the vehicles are listed below:

4.10.8 Key Issues in Solid waste management
 Lack of awareness regarding segregation of waste majorly in all areas except the core
area.
 Also, the community bins are not present in all areas and are located at large distance.
 Only single type of community bin provided leading to all type of waste (wet waste, dry
waste, and medical waste) in one single bin.
 Need based mobilization of field staff for various works including solid waste
management and Nallah cleaning.
 The dumping site is in bad condition with no treatment and disposal activity found. Also
there is no management of persons allotted for the site. Animals are found grazing on
waste which may hamper them severely.

4.11.2 Festivals in Alandi
The most important festivals and events that are celebrated in Alandi are the “Palakhi from Alandi
to Pandharpur” in the month of Ashadha, and the “Annual Fair on Kartik Purnima”. These events
are attended by thousands of devotees. The Palakhi, which is in the month of Ashadha, goes from
Alandi to Pandharpur almost 150 km of distance by walk. Thousands of devotees take part in this
Palakhi. Palakhi, a unique feature of Maharashtrian culture, is a 1000-year-old tradition followed
by the Varkari (people who follow the vari, a fundamental ritual). People collectively go singing

and dancing, chanting “Dnyanba-Tukaram” in what are called as “Dindi” (organised group of
Varkaris) to the holy town of Pandharpur in Hindu months of Ashadha (June-July) and Kartik
(November-December). The Palakhi starts in the month of Jyeshtha (June) and the whole process
lasts a total of 22 days. Every year on the eleventh day of the first half of the month of Ashadh,
the Palakhi reaches Pandharpur. The Ashadhi Ekadashi falls in the month of July – August,
whereas the Kartiki Ekadashi falls in the month of November - December. (Period may vary
slightly as per the Lunar Calendar). Annual fairs (melas) are held on the Ashadhi and Kartiki
Ekadashi. A large number of the Varkaris gather on the banks of the Indrayani River during these
festivals. On important festival days the number of pilgrims visiting Alandi reaches to almost half
a million.

4.11.3 Tourist Accommodation
There are about 80 registered Dharmashalas and 10 hotels in the town, which cater to the need
of the pilgrims visiting Alandi throughout the year and in particular during the Kartiki Fair.
However discussion with temple officials, local residents and AMC officials revealed that there
are about 350 Dharmashalas in the town. These include small houses and old “wadas” (Houses)
converted into Dharmashalas.

CITY GOVERNANCE & REFORMS

4.13 CITY GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK AND REFORMS
The Alandi Municipal Council is a ‘C’ Class Council category with a population of 28645 as per
census 2011.
The Directorate of Municipal Administration sanctions establishment posts of the Municipal

Councils. The cadre related posts are filled by the DMA directly and the rest of the posts are filled
by the ULB.
As per DMA orders, the sanctioned posts in each department were classified into two categories-
permanent and provisional (provisional post held by people who do not meet the current
qualification norms). Once the staff-holding provisional post retires, the post will not be filled
again.
A summary of the roles and responsibilities of different departments of the council are
highlighted below. But due to staff crunch and being a newly formed municipal council, staff
members in each department handle multiple responsibilities of their own and also other
departments.

4.14 Deliberate Wing
There are 17 census wards. The Council is led by a President (Nagaradhyaksha) and elected
members, directly elected by the people. The Council, through the President, the advisory
committees for different departments and consultative committees appointed by the General
Body, is responsible for the administration of the urban area. Assisting the general body in its
functioning are various committees, the chief being the standing committee. In addition to the
standing committee, the various committees of AMC are:
1. Standing Committee
2. Planning and Development Committee
3. Education Committee
4. Water Supply and Sewerage Committee
5. Public Health and Sanitation Committee
6. Public Works Committee
The standing committee consists of corporators and is elected by the corporators from among
themselves at their first meeting after the general elections. The standing committee has
unlimited financial powers and is subject to supervision by the state government.
4.15 Administrative Wing
The executive wing for this elected body is led by Chief Officer (CO), an officer belonging to the
State Services (Executive Cadre). The CO is the key figure in local self-government and is the
administrative head of AMC; is assisted by senior officials in discharging his functions. The CO
manages the day-to-day affairs of the Council subject to approvals and sanctions from the
standing committee and the Council. The CO is supported by officers heading various
departments. The key departments include – Public Health, Accounts and tax, Administration,
Water Supply, Public works, sanitation etc.
4.16 Reforms Being Undertaken by AMC
Government of Maharashtra envisages a mechanism that delivers majority of the services

through the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with the use of Information Technology and
Communication (ICT) by transferring horizontally the E-Governance Solution at KDMC (Kalyan

Dombiwali Municipal Corporation), (MAINet) at all ULBs in Maharashtra. AMC is about to initiate
the implementation of reforms.
A list of modules to be considered for implementation by the municipal council under E-

Governance Project is as follows:
 Birth and Death Module

 Water Tax Module
 Accounts Module
 CARE Module (Complaints and Grievance Redressal Management)
 EIP Module (Enterprise Information Portal) with services as operational at AMC
 CFC Module (Citizen Facilitation Center)
 Town Planning Module
 Property tax Module.

VISION FORMATION FOR TOWN

5 VISION FORMATION FOR ALANDI
5.1 Approach
Several stakeholder consultations were organized to finalize the CDP. The stakeholder
consultations were held at the organization level, in core groups pertaining to particular sectors,
and finally in the form of workshops to bring together the stakeholders on one platform. This
enabled them to voice their opinions and come to a consensus on strategies and actions for each
identified priority sector. The stakeholders included educationists, environmentalists,
councillors, and representatives of the informal sector, NGOs, and industry associations. The
stakeholder consultations also involved representatives from the Departments of Transport and
City Planning, non-governmental officers, and municipal council officials. Various rounds of
consultations in the form of workshops and focus group discussions, city surveys were held
during the period November 2017. The outcome of each discussion and workshop are
summarized in the following section and has been incorporated to formulate strategies and the
action plan for Alandi.
5.2 Consultation with Municipal Council
The consultation was basically a kick-off meeting with the RMC officials to make them aware of
the CDP process. The objective of the consultation was to get the implementing agency’s views
on issues such as the importance of city, the strengths of the city and the desired focus areas for
the development of the city and the region. Various officials, including the Chief Officer,
engineers, heads of departments, elected representatives, and citizens were consulted.
5.3 Consultation with People
This was held to bring together the stakeholders to define the vision for the city and the various
areas of Alandi. The stakeholders were from various background and the meetings were collected
in their areas. This gave the area wise disintegrated information. The Consultation fostered an
understanding amongst the stakeholders regarding the importance of CDP, the key facts that
need to be kept in mind during envisioning and the present status of city. The views received
from stakeholders are tabulated under following heads

 Economic development and municipal finance

 Information technology, communication and network development
 Growth management and land management
 Infrastructure improvement
 Traffic and transport
 Water, sewerage and storm water management
 Solid waste management
 Environment management
 Health and education improvement
 Social infrastructure improvement and rehabilitation
 Poverty reduction
 Tourism Development
 Culture and Heritage Preservation

5.5 Vision Statement for Alandi
A vision or vision statement is the collective understanding of the ideal future of a community. It
establishes a tone for the plan and the planning process. The entire City Development Plan must
start with and relate back to the vision.
Vision for Alandi was formulated on the basis of discussions and emerging strengths,
current issues, concerns, problems and desirable future focus areas. Based on the Town’s
strengths, futuristic desires and perspectives, the vision that emanates is–
“Development of Alandi as a Self Sufficient pilgrimage centre with support of all Social
& physical infrastructure to cater the residents and pilgrims with better quality of life.”

CITY INVESTMENT PLAN

6 CITY INVESTMENT PLAN
The City Investment Plans (CIP) in line with the identified vision for Alandi have been prepared
through a comprehensive process of assessment of the physical and social infrastructure sectors
and stakeholder consultations. The CIP for the city flows from the action plan recommended in
the previous chapter.
These capital investment requirements are dovetailed in the financial projections that factor the
growth in income and expenditures for AMC. A review of the Detailed Project Reports for various
projects already in place has also led to the identification of sector specific strategies,
implementation actions and associated reforms. This chapter would discuss various projects that
would be taken up by AMC as well as the financial projections of the budgets of AMC.
The strategies adopted primarily have three dimensions -- improving the service delivery by
efficiency measures, improving service delivery by creating infrastructure assets and improving
the governance aspects of AMC. This section summarizes the capital investments required for
creating infrastructure assets and various strategic interventions required in the implementation
of such projects.
The City Investment Plan (CIP) is the multi-year scheduling of identified and prioritized
investments. The scheduling or phasing of the plan is based on studies of fiscal resources
availability (for new investments and O&M), technical capacity for construction and O&M, and
the choice of specific improvements to be constructed for a period of five years in five phases.
The CIP is necessary to record:
 Assessment of city/ town growth and infrastructure needs (to be carried out once
every five years);
 Detailed feasibility/ engineering studies carried out for new projects;
 Scheduling of investments of ongoing projects due to cost and/or time overruns; and
 Assigning of priorities within the constraints of available financial resources.
The City Investment Plan is an important element of the CDP and significant in terms of the city’s
management process and sustainability with regard to the delivery of basic services. As a part of
CIP prepared for the CDP, the consultant for AMC has:

 Analyzed and discussed with the stakeholders, the existing applicable norms and
standards for infrastructure services;
 Agreed and recommended a reasonable and realistic option;
 Justified and provided rationales if the chosen option is not within the existing service
level standards; and
 Identified the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the implementation
of identified projects.
6.1 Capital Facilities, Investment Phasing and Implementation
6.1.1 Long Term Planning
The City Investment Plan involved the identification of public capital facilities to cater to the
demand of the city population by the year 2022, 2027, 2032 and 2037 according to their short,
medium and long-term infrastructure needs.
Further project prioritization and strategizing of the investments/ phasing of investment is based
on the strategies listed out under each service sector as identified through stakeholder
consultations. The projects derived are aimed at ensuring the optimal and efficient utilization of
the existing infrastructure systems and enhancing the capacity of the systems/ services to cater
to the demands of future population additions. Certain other projects listed as part of the CIP
include developmental projects other than those addressing the core service sectors.
Such projects are also based on lists and/ or reports prepared by and for Municipal Council.

6.2 Water supply
Augmentation scheme is proposed up-to design stage of 2046 considering 135 lpcd supply for
the town and the DPR has been prepared accordingly and has been sanctioned under Sujal Nirmal
Abhiyan. The development of water supply infrastructure is the most important sector in Alandi
CDP.
6.2.1 Strategies
 Augment system for increased drawl from source in line with long-term planning and
equitable distribution of potable water to all through piped supply which can
eradicate the water supply shortage.
 Develop supply system to the unserved zones and regulate the water supply in served
areas.
 Revamp the outdated distribution system and imply 100% metering system
throughout the town.
 The billing system needs to be established. Billing should be done on the basis of
number of family members. Consumption must be calculated depending upon the
number of family members and accordingly the bill should be raised. Also, a slab
system can be introduced, wherein the rate of water tariff depends on the range in
which the consumption lies. Thus, more the consumption, higher will be the tariff rate.
Volumetric billing must be implemented. People using excess water lavishly must be
heavily charged.
 Adopt system to calculate and record water distributed in each ward/zone.
 Rain water harvesting should be encouraged.
 Facilitate regular checking of internal plumbing and storage systems at the consumers
end by licensing service providers.
6.2.2 Expected Outcomes
 Assured ability to meet the year 2046’s demand

 Per capita availability of water at consumer end (lpcd) - 135 lpcd
 Equitable distribution of water supply
 Water supply to be 24 X 7
6.2.3 Investment
There is requirement of INR 32.21 Crores (at 2013-14 SOR) to establish 24x7 water supply system
to satisfy the need of town for next 30 years.

6.2.4 Priority Needs
Alandi Town does not receive 135 LPCD water supply as per the data collected from municipal
council in 2017. Town is facing water supply problems due to the insufficient and old water
infrastructure which is the main cause for considerable leakages in the distribution system and
the existing water supply is 108 lpcd.
The present system has old AC, PVC, old CI pipes with reduced hydraulic efficiency. Presently the
distribution system receives an intermittent water supply for average half to one hour per day
per consumer. There are no metered connections. Also there are cases of unauthorized
connections.
The intermittent water supply leads to:
 Inability to practice effective supply management;

 Inability to practice effective demand management; operational inadequacies, which
unduly weaken the physical infrastructure;
 Customer inconvenience, resulting in an unwillingness to pay for a sub-standard
service, and serious risk to public health, resulting from the ingress of contaminated
ground water into the distribution system.
Thus, in order to address the above problems, AMC has proposed the augmentation of the water
supply system as well as improvement of the distribution network.
The scheme is designed for immediate stage in the year 2031 and 2046.

Population forecast and the demand projection has being made the water demand calculated
for immediate stage of 2031 is 9.25 LD and for Ultimate stage is 15.00 MLD considering the
growth trend.
6.3 Sewerage and Sanitation System
6.3.1 Sewerage
6.3.1.1 Sanctioned Sewerage Scheme
The DPR for the North Drainage District (ward 1 to 9, 11 to 14) has been approved by Maharashtra
Jeevan Pradhikaran in Jan 2015. The scheme is proposed for implementation in near future and
4.00 MLD STP is proposed under the scheme.
6.3.1.2 Proposed augmentation to the sanctioned scheme
The augmented scheme was proposed to extend the coverage prominently in the South
Drainage District (ward 9, 10, 15, 16, 17). The construction of drain networks is under execution.
The DPR has been prepared considering design period of 30years considering projected
population of 2047.
6.3.1.3 Sewage Generation
Considering the future water supply of 135 lpcd per capita, the per capita sewage generation is
considered to be 80% of the water supply i.e. 108lpcd. The total sewage generation is expected
to be 4.87 MLD in 2017 and 14.38 MLD in 2047.
6.3.1.4 Sewage Treatment Plant
As per the DPR STP of 3MLD based on sequential batch reactor (SBR) is proposed in the south
drainage district and 0.5MLD SIBF type STP is proposed on Bhagirathi nallah near the existing KT
wier. Sewage Pumping is proposed at lowest level to lift the sewage upto STP

6.3.2 Sanitation
6.3.2.1 Individual Toilet and Sanitation
The concept of sanitation was expanded to include personal hygiene, home sanitation, safe
water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water disposal.
6.3.2.2 Household level sanitation
Forty percent of the world’s people do not have access to a basic level of sanitation; one in five
of us practices open defecation. This crisis in sanitation has clear consequences. Diarrhoea kills
more than 1.5 million children each year, and 88 percent of these deaths are attributed to faecal
contamination from inadequate sanitation, hygiene, and water supply. The cost of these
problems is high in economic as well as human terms.
Sanitation solutions are not cheap for the poor, who make up the vast majority of those without
sanitation. Like housing, on-site sanitation is often viewed as a private good and the basic
responsibility of the beneficiaries themselves. Yet sector professionals have long argued that
some public finance of sanitation can be justified by its inherent externalities: construction and
use of a family latrine protects others at least as much as it reduces disease transmission within
the family. However, the large number of poor households without sanitation makes it difficult
for strained government budgets to contribute a large fraction of the cost. In addition,
economists and sector professionals are generally sceptical of subsidy schemes, having seen how
inefficient and counterproductive some poorly designed programs can be.
Promotion of household level sanitation and introducing low cost toilets like Gramalaya,
Sulabh International, Bio Toilet, Eco-San Systems
Household level sanitation needs to be promoted in slums as well as non-slums areas. This will
result into reducing reliance on community toilet and open defecation. Maharashtra Swaccha
Bharat Abhiyan is acting as an effective tool to provide individual level sanitation facilities in the
city. In slum as well as non-slum areas, low cost toilets like Gramalaya can be initiated.

Initiate Promoting household sanitation through IEC campaigns in slum areas
It was observed during the survey as well as from the people’s perceptions, people would prefer
the individual sanitation facilities rather than public or community level sanitation facilities. To
initiate awareness; campaign for the importance of the hygienic improved sanitation facilities,
management of sanitation services and give the knowledge about the sanitation schemes which
is applicable in slum as well as non-slum areas. About 86.2 % HHs have individual toilets and rest
practice open defecation. In order to make the city OD free household level sanitation should be
promoted. Thus, construction of individual toilets and promotion of HH level sanitation is given
priority and it is suggested to be completed in the first phase of the action plan.
6.3.2.3 Community level sanitation
Constructing Community Toilet Blocks for total eradication of Open defecation Practice
At present; the town has sufficient number of community toilet blocks and there is only
requirement of toilet facilities around the slum areas those present are poorly maintained and
thus the percentage of open defecation is increased.
As an immediate intervention it is suggested to rehabilitate the existing Community Toilet blocks

as well as provide new community toilet blocks with improved level of sanitation, water supply,
and infrastructure, regular cleaning of septic tank, etc. and enhance the hygiene level so as to
reduce the practices of open defecation. Especially for the onsite management system it is
necessary to assess the condition and functioning of all the septic tanks and if required; to rebuild
the same with proper technical design and detailing.
The areas having EWS and slum population should be given priority for construction of
community toilets.
Introduce O and M of CTs on pilot basis through involvement of local CBOs/ NGOs
The local authority has to initiate O and M (Operation and maintenance) of community block
through involvement of CBOs to ensure regular O and M of CT blocks. This can be initiated on
pilot basis for 1 or 2 slums in which O and M will be outsourced to private operator or through
building capacity of the community to take in charge of O and M of community toilet blocks. In

such activity, local women welfare groups also can be involved for regular maintenance of toilet
blocks.
6.3.2.4 Suggested improvements for public level sanitation
It has been noticed that, lack of hygienic, well maintained public sanitation facility near temple
premises, market and commercial places in core areas is a main concern especially during the
festival and fair period’s .There are ample number of public toilets present. Policies should be
framed so that such toilets are brought to proper use by the floating population.
Therefore, as short term action plan, it is suggested to construct public toilet near the market
area, along main road as per the availability of space. It can be managed on user fee basis.
6.3.3 Total Investment
The total investment required for developing sewerage and sanitation facilities in town up to
2036 requires capital investment of INR 49.20 Crores of rupees.

6.4 Transportation
Alandi is a pilgrim town in Khed Taluka of Pune district. Also it is located in proximity to the major
growth centres like Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. Looking at the growth potential and religious
importance the connectivity to the town from various destinations is very important as large
number of floating population visit the pilgrim place. Hence Alandi acts as religious tourist centre.
Hence improvement of inter and intra roads and transportation facilities is important.
The survey inferences and analysis brought to the transportation strategy which is stated as
follows:
 Up gradation of internal roads of core area (Pilgrim premises) and development of

roads in outer areas.
 Development of new road as per growth trend
 Widening of roads as per the need.
 Junction improvement and signalling.
 Development of Parking spaces.
 Dedicated lanes for pedestrian and hawkers in core area.
6.4.1 Strategies
Increase carrying capacity through widening and improve riding quality through strengthening of
existing roads. Create new roads to cater missing links and develop areas and present the urban
face of the city. Institute an efficient, safe and accessible transportation system for the entire
region.
Redesigning of major junctions for better management of traffic and safety of pedestrian.
Providing necessary street furniture for better traffic movement and functioning of roads.
Parking spaces should be developed on pay and park basis, involving private developers (PPP
basis).
Pedestrian traffic management during the festival period by converting certain motorized roads
to pedestrian pathways by providing barricades to stop the flow of traffic along that road.

6.4.2 Total Investment
The block estimate of total investment required on Road, Street Lights, Transportation and Traffic
would be INR 50.66 Crore at current prices.
6.4.3 Outcome
Hassle-free travel on the roads and effective transportation system convenient to everyone in
consideration with the large floating population.
6.4.4 Priority Needs
6.4.4.1 Converting WBM/kuccha road to Bitumen Surfaced road:
Total road network of Alandi is 50 km (excluding the highway and village connecting roads) as
per the survey. Out of that 25.14 km of roads are WBM/Kuccha roads.
It is proposed that all the WBM and kuccha roads to be upgraded to bitumen roads. In the first
phase all the kuccha roads are to be completely upgraded and resurfacing of the existing
deteriorated roads is proposed.
In first phase, 25.1 Km of these category of roads are to be converted which mainly include all
the Kuccha and WBM. In further phases the roads to be developed as per the development trend.
The DPR for the road should be made by expert consultants before initiating development in road
conditions, and the project and safety must be given the utmost priority
6.4.4.2 Major Junction Improvement:
According to the primary survey, some of the junctions in the town needs to be improve on
priority basis for vehicle as well as pedestrian safety and smooth flow of traffic. The improvement
would be in terms of improving islands as per standards and signalizing considering pedestrian
safety.
6.4.4.3 Parking Facility:
Parking spaces are not adequate in the town. People utilize the open land and curb sides of roads
for parking purpose. Parking areas must be developed in the town to reduce the on street

parking. The tourists attract large number of vehicles which create junction blocking. New parking
spaces should be proposed in the commercial areas to avoid congestion and traffic problems.
6.4.4.4 Street Light Augmentation:
As per the road length and required street light ratio it is observed that total coverage is not
100%. In the survey many people complained about the poor distribution and coverage of street
lights facility. Also the important squares should be well lit. The proposals are given accordingly.
With development of new roads in the boundary of Municipal council, it is necessary to install
additional street lights according to the requirement. The cost proposed for installation of street
lights for new development is 2.57 Crores.
6.4.4.5 Street Furniture and Beautification:
Street furniture is an important element for people to hang around and meet or gather together
for relaxing and chatting. Hence, street benches should be provided wherever necessary. Also for
the fresh air to breathe and reduce the impact of vehicular pollution on humans as well as
environment, plants should be planted on the road sides. Dustbins should be placed at sufficient
distances along the roads for maintaining the cleanliness of the road. For road safety, signages
should be placed where ever required. Information boards must also be installed with
information of major roads and important places.

6.5 Solid Waste Management
The solid waste generation for future population in Alandi is worked out at the rate of 450
gm/capita/day for permanent resident and 200 gm/capita/day for floating population. For
analysis purpose the percentage of organic and in-organic wastes generated in solid waste is
considered as 50 % each.
The total waste generated is 19.85 MT in 2017 and projected waste is 28.53 MT, 41.18 MT and
59.56 MT in 2027, 2037 and 2047 respectively.
The waste collection in AMC is satisfactory in most of the areas of Alandi Village. But it has been
noticed that, the routes of Ghantagadi are not defined according to solid waste generation in the
newly added villages and few areas of Alandi. Hence, to have 100% coverage of solid waste
collection; route rationalization for collection and transportation of solid waste is suggested as
an immediate intervention and augmentation of vehicles is also proposed as per the
requirements in respective phases. Recruitment of the sweepers and Labour is suggested for
achieving 100% coverage and source segregation in Door to Door collection and sweeping.
Additional handcarts and tricycles are proposed to be acquired for house to house collection in
congested and narrow areas. It includes modifications and addition of routes on the basis of
existing scenario of solid waste collection and transportation. There are insufficient waste bins/
community bins placed in the public areas. Hence; it is suggested to place new dustbins. Provision
and development of landfill site is suggested, as during survey it was observed that the landfill
site is not scientifically designed and need basic improvements like compound wall, access road,

etc. Accordingly at present; midterm and long term interventions for treatment and disposal of
solid waste are suggested.
As an immediate intervention; rag pickers and informal groups can be involved for collection of
recyclable waste and segregation of waste. Such intervention requires only IEC campaign to
generate awareness amongst them and ULB will not require sharing huge amount on
infrastructure. This involves regularization of informal activity performed by rag pickers within
the town.
The investments will comply with the SWM rules 2016 by reducing manual handling and provision
of landfill site. The number of waste collection vehicles may be augmented from time to time in
accordance to the pattern of land use development.
Based on the data analysis and key issues identified in the above sections, the projects have been
identified for the improvement of the solid waste management system in Alandi.
6.5.1 Strategy
 Source segregation and door-to-door collection, effective transportation and

environmentally safe disposal.
 Implement 100 % door-to-door collection of solid waste.
 Training to the sanitation workers regarding collection, handling of waste, safety
measures, etc.
 Women, especially housewives, should be given training in solid waste management.
 Segregate waste at three levels -- solid recyclable waste, biodegradable waste and toxic
waste and train sanitation workers in segregation of waste.
 Create awareness on the impact of improper solid waste management, the importance
of segregation of waste and the means to do it.
 Start up the practice among societies of giving prizes to individuals for segregating waste
regularly.
 Primary collection of waste
Door-to-door collection:
 Door-to-door collection of waste is recommended in the core area near the temple
premises due to high population density and narrow lanes with the help of Push carts
wherever the circulation of the motorized Ghanta Gadi is difficult. The waste collection in
this area shall be carried out by using push carts. The push cart for door to door collection

will be provided with a bell so that the residents will be alerted of the arrival of the cart for
emptying their waste containers into the containers of the cart. The sanitary workers shall
collect the waste from domestic, commercial and temple area in their push carts. Similarly,
the street sweepers shall make heaps of waste on the side of the roads. In the areas other
than the congested zone Door to door collection shall be practiced with the help of Ghanta
Gadi to achieve 100% coverage
 Refuse Collection Bins (RCB):
 The existing practice of using RCBs can be continued Alandi town while increasing the
number of bins, so as to minimize dumping along road side and in open areas at the major
public places where there is flow of floating population. Separate RCBs for collection of the
dry and wet waste must be provided, so as to achieve segregation of the waste at the
source itself. Nirmalya Kalash are proposed to be installed along the ghats. Waste from the
bins in the temple premises and the major pilgrimage area shall be collected thrice a day in
times of peak hour.
Street Sweeping:
Street sweepers shall be assigned with fixed individual beats and ‘pinpoint’ work according to
the density of the area to be swept. The main roads and the town center areas shall be cleaned
every day. The low-density areas can be cleaned on alternate days. Drain de-silting will be done
on need basis.
Treatment and Disposal
The characteristics and quantity of solid waste generated in the town primarily influence the
disposal options. A review of the solid waste analysis results for Alandi indicate that nearly 50%
of the waste generated by the town is organic in nature.
The current practice of open dumping of waste is unsafe and unhygienic. In view of the large
share of organic waste in the town, Composting and Secured Land Filling are considered as the
most feasible option of solid waste processing in Alandi. The organic component of the waste (50
percent of the total waste) shall be composted and the rest of the inert waste shall be land filled.
6.5.2 Investment
Total investment proposed under Solid Waste Management is INR 12.33 crores.

6.5.3 Outcome
Reduce Waste generation, hygienic condition and clean town.

6.6 Poverty Reduction and Basic Services for Urban Poor
AMC’s strategy to improve the economic conditions in the slums and thereby eradicate the word
‘slum’ and poverty from Alandi town, various developments works and improvement programs
are suggested. The infrastructure requirements in the sector are of immediate priority.
Accordingly, investments are identified. PMAY can be implemented for making Alandi Slum free
city.
6.6.1 Strategy
Rehabilitation of slum dwellers currently staying in vulnerable areas, in-site improvements and
access to basic services and amenities. It is proposed that the development of the Slums be
carried out under the PMAY scheme.

6.6.2 Housing for All
The scheme of government which assures housing for all PMAY can be implemented to provide
basic services and housing for urban poor, Economically Weak Section (EWS), Low Income Group
(LIG). The scheme involves:
 Slum rehabilitation of Slum Dwellers with participation of private developers using

land as a resource
 Promotion of Affordable Housing for weaker section through credit linked subsidy
 Affordable Housing in Partnership with Public and Private sectors
 Subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction Use of land as a resource and
redevelopment of slums
 The mission will support construction of houses up to 30 square meter carpet area
with basic civic infrastructure. Slum redevelopment projects and Affordable Housing
projects in partnership should have basic civic infrastructure like water, sanitation,
sewerage, road, electricity etc. ULB should ensure that individual houses under credit
linked interest subsidy and beneficiary led construction should have provision for
these basic civic services.
The minimum size of houses constructed under the mission under each component should
conform to the standards provided in National Building Code (NBC). If available area of land,
however, does not permit building of such minimum size of houses as per NBC and if beneficiary
consent is available for reduced size of house, a suitable decision on area may be taken by
State/UTs with the approval of SLSMC. All houses built or expanded under the Mission should
essentially have toilet facility.
The houses under the mission should be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of
structural safety against earthquake, flood, cyclone, landslides etc. conforming to the National
Building Code and other relevant Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) codes.
The houses constructed/acquired with central assistance under the mission should be in the
name of the female head of the household or in the joint name of the male head of the household
and his wife, and only in cases when there is no adult female member in the family, the house
can be in the name of male member of the household.

State/UT Government and Implementing Agencies should encourage formation of associations

of beneficiaries under the scheme like RWA etc. to take care of maintenance of houses being
built under the mission.
The development and proposals must conform to the guidelines prescribed by Pradhan Mantri
Awas Yojana (PMAY)
6.6.3 Investment
Total investment proposed under Housing for all is INR 6.18 Crores.
6.6.4 Outcome
 Improvement in quality of services for the urban poor.

 Preservation of sensitive geographies and environment of town.
 Reduced vulnerability of urban poor.

6.7 Urban Governance
A sum of INR 1.75 Crores has been proposed to be spent over the next five phases towards
system implementation, modernization, e-Governance and GIS projects. These projects would
involve administrative reforms implementation, computerization efforts, improvement and
additions to the e-Governance project, GIS-based systems development, etc. These capital
investments are expected to bring in more accountability and transparency in the administration
of Municipal Council. Being a newly formed urban local body & in order to get rapid pace of
administration works, the share of first phase investment is more considering implementation
cost required.

6.8 Growth Management and Land Use
AMC intends to facilitate availability of planned and serviced land with all required infrastructure
for development of residential, commercial and socio-economic activities in the town, newly
developing areas of the Alandi town as well as in the newly added village areas. The land use and
growth management analysis reveal the present status of development in the town. Based on
the analysis, proposals for socio-economic infrastructure are given to have a planned
development of Alandi town. A sum of Rs. 40.25crores is the identified investment for the
various proposals considered. Considering the immediate need for AMC is recommended to
prepare a development plan on priority basis. For the preparation of development plan the
necessary land use surveys, base map preparation, etc. are suggested.

6.8.1 Sector Strategies & Investment Need
The land acquisition cost is considered approximately by reviewing the proposals of comparable
and similar nature.
The proposals suggested are according to the standards prescribed in the set guidelines.
6.8.2 Strategy
Facilitate planned development of town through implementation of Development plan

supplemented by DC Rules and applicable norms considering the growth trends.
AMC proposes to play a proactive role in facilitating and supporting the economy and religious
character through identified projects from time to time. Initiatives like decongesting the core
area through relocation of specific economic infrastructure (wholesale markets and trade centers
to appropriate locations on the periphery) are proposed and planned pilgrim corridor is proposed
to be developed.
6.8.3 Investment
Infrastructure Development Cost for Land Use is INR 40.25 Crores. Land acquisition cost is not
included in the cost given.
6.8.4 Outcomes
Planned, orderly development of the peripheral areas contributing to overall development of

• Compatibility of land uses (compatibility with transportation & other utilities) is necessary.
• Assess the carrying capacity of the city at the ward/ Prabhag level and identify actions
accordingly.
• Encourage new schools, market places to be developed in the peripheral areas to reduce
traffic in the core city.
• Housing for students & the EWS/ LIG population
• To prevent the growth of the slums from city, encourage builders to develop housing schemes
for urban poor under schemes like housing for All (HFA).
• Hostels for students, working women’s hostels need to be developed along with the
educational & research institutes.
Sector Notes
AMC needs to have a coordination cell to plan functions (land use and major infrastructure) in
line with the 74th CAA and modify the DCR accordingly.
Area for open spaces in the DP needs to be increased through identification of such potential
areas. Development control & regulation is necessary considering the public & semi-public
reservations & the areas reserved for residential land use instead of the Eco park reservations.

6.9 Tourism
The survey reveals that except near the Dnyaneshwar Ghat and the Coliseum there is very little
interface between the town and the river. Traditionally many pilgrim places in India have
developed along riverbanks. The interface between the settlement and the river has evolved over
the years and manifested in strong architectural expressions in the form of Ghats, Chattris, Kiosks
and Pavilions along the river. These served the function of pleasure as well as a place for
performing all the rituals such as bathing, praying etc. The Ghats of Varanasi and Vrindavan are
considered as most exemplary edifices of Indian riverfront architecture. The Ghats of Varanasi
have been declared as UNESCO World Heritage site. Alandi does not seem to have a recorded
history of such riverfront architecture. But very recent interventions to this aspect has been made
by the Alandi Dehu Parisar Vikas Samiti which has constructed four Ghats, two on either bank on
the Indrayani River. Riverfront development in Alandi assumes more significance as it is at a
strategic location at the entry point to the town from Pune side. If developed properly the
riverfront could give a new image to the town. The riverfront development in Alandi would target
at preventing the pollution and maintaining clean & hygienic conditions. It will also serve the
purpose of beautification of the riverfront to give a pleasing appearance and help the pilgrims in
carrying out the rituals such as bathing, praying etc.
6.9.1 Strategies
Removal of old structures from riverbed and dredging:
The flow of the river should be maintained by dredging and removal of the unwanted obstructing
structures in the riverbed. Only the necessary weirs for maintaining adequate water depth near
the Ghats should be kept. The riverbed can be deepened by dredging the bottom sediments
settled over many years. However, the quantum of dredging required cannot be estimated at
this stage. Hence, the cost of dredging has not been included in this report.
Construction of mid-stream fountains:
In order to maintain the cleanliness of water three fountains one in each part will be installed.
The fountains will aerate the water and also add to beauty of the area.

Construction of Ghats
The new ghat development proposed may be continued with the same design to maintain
uniformity, Construction of steps, boat landing facility and walkway.
Gardens and soft landscaping
The area behind the Ghats and in between the Ghats on the back side of the temple is proposed
to be developed as small greenbelts with shadow giving trees. The trees can be provided with
seating platforms around. Ornamental plants are proposed along the parapet walls. These will
act as resting areas for the pilgrims as well as give the much-needed green spaces to the town.
Similarly, a green belt of tall evergreen trees such as Ashoka or other suitable trees, is proposed
to be developed near the Old Bridge, to create visual barrier to block the ugly look of the backside
of the shops. These will also create a sense of semi-enclosed space. The same arrangement would
be repeated on the right bank.
Construction of Toilet Blocks
Changing Rooms, Toilet, washrooms and drinking water facilities are proposed on both sides of
the ghat
Lighting on river banks
At present there are sodium vapour lamps near the coliseum and the Dnyaneshwar Ghat. Similar
lighting is proposed in the entire stretch of the zone between the old and new bridge.
Drinking water fountains
The new gardens along the Ghats are proposed to be provided with drinking water fountains.
This will provide the pilgrims clean drinking water in hygienic conditions. The Alandi Dehu Parisar
Vikas Samiti has provided similar fountains near the Dyanenshwar ghat. It is proposed to provide
five such additional water fountains, three would be on the right bank and two on the left bank.
Each fountain will have two taps. The water for the same will be the treated water from the
Alandi Municipal Council.

Provision of Nirmalya Kalash
In order to take care of solid waste such as flowers, garlands etc being dumped in the river, a
‘Nirmalya Kalash’ will be installed along the river banks. These would be containers of sufficient
size such as 200 liters plastic drum or any other containers decorated to give a look of ‘Kalash’.
In all six such ‘Nirmalya Kalash’ are proposed to be installed on both the banks of the river. The
pilgrims will have to be sensitized to put all floral waste in these containers. The organic waste
collected from these containers will be used for composting pits proposed to be set up in the
Mauli Bagh or in the gardens developed along the Ghats. The concept of ‘Nirmalya Kalash’ has
been successful in Mumbai and Pune areas during the Ganesh Festivals where such containers
were installed near rivers lakes and other immersion sites. The containers are also a permanent
feature around these water bodies.
Removal of solid waste dumped along river bank
The municipal solid waste dumped along the left bank of the river on both the sides of the old
bridge should be removed immediately. This waste can be disposed off on to the existing solid
waste dumping site.
Development of approach roads along sides of ghats and development of provision for parking
Hawkers Zone Development
Establish permanent structure of low cost constructed market for hawkers. The stalls can be
leased out. Hawker’s zone can act as supporting infrastructure to tourism activities around the
temple premises.
6.9.2 Investment
The total cost of tourism development is estimated to INR 55.42 Crores.
6.9.3 Outcome
Enhancing tourism infrastructure in a planned way can support the economic development of
the town.

tourism activities through local support. PPP model can be introduced for faster and proper
implementation of tourism plan. AMC can also prepare Tourism Master Plan for strategic
development of business in tourism

Annexure III- POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR PPP
Building O&M as a part of the construction contract:
This would be a typical Design Built and Operate (DBO) contractual arrangement, and would
involve;
1. Developing the contractual structure and contract documents for the project
2. Designing developer selection process and evaluation criteria.
The DBO method of project delivery offers a practical solution, when,
a) Public funding is possible,
b) Project risks make it unsuitable for implementation under a traditional private investment
framework (BOT or a Concession type) and
c) All possible efficiencies of PPP can be brought in the form of EPC and O&M contracts.
NP needs to look at the warranty period, in which the operator would train and handhold the
staff. The main issues for concern that will need to be addressed by NP in DBO projects, is the
high cost of bidding and the extent of design work required, as these may prove to be deterrents
to wider participation and, thus, may serve to offset the benefits of the DBO approach.
Providing incentives for billing efficiency etc. on a sharing basis:
NP should implement automated meter reading systems (handheld devices) with

computerization for all water billing. The installation of flow meter for each ESR to match the
quantity of water supplied and billed would prove them with the amount of losses during this
activity. For 100% cost recovery, NP should convert all the non-metered connections/PSPs to
metered connections. It should also create kiosks for collection (for all payments to the
corporation including water charges). NP needs to implement a mechanism for having staggered
water charges. This would essentially mean paying minimum tariff up to a certain quantity. The
tariff would be increased exponentially for the quantity used beyond this. This would ensure and
justify the price that one pays. This will also serve as a key for controlling the usage of water.
PLANITECH CONSULTANTS VI
Outsourcing pumping, transmission and distribution activities:
NP plans to undertake projects of around Rs. 7 crores, which mainly includes augmentation and
improving the water supply network. The bigger challenge for NP is to maintain these assets once
created. NP therefore needs to explore the outsourcing some of these activities, such as,
pumping, transmission, distribution etc., either to one operator or multiple operators.
Towards achieving 24x7 water supply:
NP needs to carry out and implement a water and energy audit including a leak detection study
after every 5 years. It will ensure reduction in raw water transportation losses and better water
management. NP also needs to take a step towards augmentation of water source and
encouraging water reuse.

Annexure IV - E- GOVERNANCE
Introduction
Last decade has witnessed special focus on good governance. This is particularly evident among
cities and towns, which are experiencing a rapid pace of urbanization along with increasing
mismatch between demand and supply of municipal services. The increasing complexity of facing
local government has prompted many Urban Local Bodies in India to discover creative and
innovative solutions with varying degrees of success. The most important development in this
area has been the increasing use of information technology for municipal governance.
Traditionally municipal governance has been based on manual platform, being paper and labor
intensive. However, with the increasing demand on the municipal administration, the current
way of functioning is turning out to be grossly inadequate. Information technology increases the
efficiency and the spread of the existing processes, thereby enhancing the capacity of the
administration manifold.
Current system
The traditional system has the following features
 Information in manual records

 Retrieval and analysis is very difficult
 Systematic data base not available
 Generation of useful management reports are time consuming and difficult
 Controlling the leakage of information is difficult
 Longer service fulfilment duration and delays in approvals
 Complicated steps
 Large number of levels
 Frequent loss of files
 Cumbersome process in tax calculations and reconciliation
 Manual calculation and reconciliation
 Validation and review is very difficult
 Inefficient mechanism to track citizen grievances
 No higher level tracking of grievances
 Redressal at the discretion of operating level officials
 Lack of transparency in service fulfilment
PLANITECH CONSULTANTS VIII

 Real time information not available

 Fixing accountability is not possible
Objectives of E-Governance System
Based on the limitations of the traditional and existing processes, the users of the system will
desire the following incremental benefits from the e-governance system.
 Improving the quality of service to the citizens

 Facilitation of citizens with easy and quick access to department information
and services
 Infusion of transparency in providing the services to citizens
 Efficiency in administration
 Facilitation of quicker processing of the citizen service requests
 Facilitation of easy maintenance of citizen’s records
 Making citizen tax and other critical records tamper proof
 Efficient approval and processing of files
 Simplified processes of assessment
 Information management
 Real time capture of information
 Facilitation of analysis and review
 Real time exception reporting
 Preventing loss and leakage of information
 Management Information System
 Generation of customized reports
 Clear accountability
Scope of an E-Governance System
An organization wide municipal e-governance system has the following components
Administrative system
This part of system facilitates the normal administrative processes of the municipal corporation.
The objective of this component is to reduce the time required and steps involved for the normal
operating decisions of departments of the corporation, while capturing the data related to tax
collection, service delivery and citizen records in real time.
PLANITECH CONSULTANTS IX
Management Information System
This part of the system facilitates the decisions taken at higher levels of the departments by
supplying the decision maker with relevant information at the relevant time. This component
allows the user to define the information required to facilitate the decision.
Citizen Interface
This part of the system creates linkages between the corporation and the citizens to provide them
with the information that affects them.
The components are schematically shown below:
Implementing E-Governance System
The E Governance system implementation process, involves the following entities: -
Municipal Administration
The system is defined based on the mapping of the municipal administration processes and
decision flows. The commitment of the municipal administration is the most important
prerequisite for the e governance system.
PLANITECH CONSULTANTS X
System consultants
Since the municipal body would not have the knowledge base to map the processes against the
system requirements, therefore a consultant is appointed for process mapping and subsequent
system design.
Employees
The process mapping is done based on the inputs given by the employees to the system
consultant. Moreover the system has to be designed as per the capacity and the need of the
actual users of the system, the employees.
Citizens
The purpose of the e-governance system is to improve the activities of the municipal corporation
with a view of increasing the quality of the service delivered to the citizens of the corporation.
