EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
To meet the requirements of the increasing population of towns, Government of India and government of
Madhya Pradesh have initiated number of programs to deliver the basic services and infrastructure facilities.
Two prominent schemes for the development of small and medium towns are Urban Infrastructure
Development scheme for small and medium towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and Slum
development Programme (IHSDP). Other than these there are several programs have been initiated for the
development of urban areas by the Central and State governments.
Under the JnNURM Scheme preparation of City Development Plan is necessary for the sustainable
development of a town. Preparation of a CDP is a planning process and a vision for the future development
of a city which builds and improves the coordination between various stakeholders for efficient and proper
delivery and management of basic services, facilities and resources. DMG Consulting (P) Ltd. has adopted the
process of Targeted Focus Group discussion which will strengthen inclusive planning process for the
development of cities.
This is the Phase-II assignment of GoMP where they are preparing City Development plans (CDP) for 258
towns. In the phase-I stage they already done CDPs for 258 towns. In this Phase DMG Consulting Pvt. Ltd did
CDPs for 7 towns out of the 258 towns.
Based on this programme, GoMP launched Mukhyamantri Sahari Adhusanrachna Bikas Yojana, which is going
to be, funded all the projects proposed in the CDPs to the respective ULB.
Objectives and scope of the Assignment
Behind this exercise major objectives are to involve the local residents in the city development, to find out
the existing problems and issues and their views about improvements and proposals; and efficient
mobilisation of existing resources.
For the preparation of the CDP, scope has been divided in to 4 stages: A) inception: it is the initial stage in
which introduction of CDP and its concept, purpose & outcomes were discussed. This stage also includes
current financial and administrative context and unique features of the city. To find out the issues and
problems different steps had been taken like stakeholder meetings, field reconnaissance, kick-off workshop,
secondary data analysis etc. B) Sectoral assessment and preparation of city profile: In this stage, based upon
survey and interaction with stakeholders, detail sector analysis has been done for different sectors like
transportation, infrastructure, housing, environment, heritage, tourism, socio-economic analysis,
demographic study etc. this stage also includes studies for finding the emerging issues, SWOT analysis,
present gap and future demands of housing, infrastructure, basic services etc. C) Preparation of city vision
and identification of development objectives: in this stage a city vision for 25 years was developed, for the
participation of government and people in the CDP process. To achieve the desired goals and objectives for
the development of city, different strategies and required programmes have been identified for each sector
and for implementation of the project; financial aspect has been seen at sector level. For financial strategy,
resource mobilisation plan has been prepared for remunerative and non-remunerative projects. Sources of
financial support have been identified as government, private-partnership, financial institutions etc. and their
financial sharing in the projects for each sectors has been done. D) Preparation of the final CDP Report:
After incorporating the feedbacks and inputs from stakeholders, the third workshop has been organised for
Page xiv

the finalisation of CDP with ULB and all stakeholders. This document has been presented and submitted to
council for resolution.
Physical Features of the Town: this town is a semi-urban area and is located in the north-eastern part of the
Rewa district; it is well connected to the rest of the towns of M. P. and U.P. by road. Two state highways are
passing through this town i.e. SH-9 and SH-52. The nearest railway station is Rewa junction at a distance of
19 km. This town is known for the birth place of white tigers and having royal history.
Total population of Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is 10535 persons as per the Census-2011; spread over an area
of 13.25 Sq.Km. GNP has been divided in to 15 wards for better administration and management. This town
is located at an altitude of 330 meter, in Bhaghelkhand region which is a hilly terrain. Soil type of this region
is medium deep black soil which is highly productive. The climate of this area is hot and dry summers and
mild winters and rainfall is varies from 1000 to 1500 mm. People are dependent on agriculture. Major crops
are rice, millets, wheat, soyabean, grain and masoor. This region is full of minerals like bauxite, coal, lime,
basalt, iron ore etc.
Demographic profile of the town: as per the Census-2011 total population of this town was 10535, including
5418 male and 5117 female. In Census 2001 population was 9697 which increased to 10535 in Census 2011
by 8.64% of decadal growth rate. Due to the lack of job opportunity and education facility people are
migrating to nearest large cities for better livelihood thus decadal population growth rate of this town has
been decreased in last 2 decades from 14.93% in 1991-2001 to 8.64% in 2001-11.
Gross Population density of the town was 7 people per hectare, which was increasing due to the natural
growth. Some wards along the major roads having high density because of the development occurred along
the roads. The average household size of the town was 5.8 people as per the Census 2001. Literacy rate has
been increased from 57.45% in Census 2001 to 66.55% in Census 2011. In comparison to the nation, state
and district, town has lower literacy rate during Census 2001 and 2011. Average sex ratio was 898 females
per 1000 males which were varying from 667 to 1019 among wards. Percentage of SC and ST population was
18.05 and 7.75% respectively, which were high in comparison to urban India.
Socio-Economic Profile of the Town: Since this is a semi-urbanised town, People of this town are majorly
dependent on agro based economy. As per the Census 2001, work force participation rate was 38.66% i.e.
3749 workers out of which 55% of workers were involved in informal business and local economy (commerce
and trade), 16% worker were involved in agro based activities and rest 29% were involved in small scaled
household or manufacturing units. There are few agro based small industries for bidi, soap etc. And some
cement factories in nearby area. For work Labours of tertiary sector had to go to the surrounding areas
where large scaled industries exist. Town has some small Mandi or markets at the junction or along the roads
for informal business.
Since the Baghelkhand region is rich of minerals and high cultivable land which can be developed for major
industrial activities that can further provide job opportunity to the local people.
Heritage and Tourism: this town is famous for the Govindgarh fort and as a birth place of white tigers. But
due to the lack of awareness among local people and ignorance of local governing bodies, town was losing its
character of tourism. There are 5 Hindu temples, surrounding areas can be further developed to generate
livelihood to the local people. There are two ponds, which can be developed for recreation purpose as water
front parks. The Department of Tourism, Government of Madhya Pradesh State has recently leased out
Govindgarh Fort to a Delhi based Company for converting into a Heritage Hotel & Resort and developing
other tourism related activities on the related lands. There are many sites within the proximity which can be
developed as a tourist destination, can serve to the tourist of Allahabad and Varanasi. To improve the
Page xv

existing temple areas and water bodies it is necessary to provide pucca roads. Linking of all tourist spots
should be done by the roads.
Physical Planning and Growth Management: The development took place along the state highways passing
through the city. Commercial and residential activities grew along the highways only; rest area is
undeveloped or used for agro based activities. Within the town 43% of area has been developed and rest
57% area is undeveloped. Along these two highways population density was high in comparison to other
portion of the town.
At present the total Nagar Parishad area of Govindgarh town is 1323 Ha out of which developed area is
572.68 Ha. (43.28%) and undeveloped or agricultural land is 750.59 Ha. (56.72%). This undeveloped area
consists of recreational and agricultural spaces. Out of total developed area 19.06 % land-use is residential,
72.16 % of the total land-use is under water body followed by 6.42 % under agriculture, 0.54 % as
commercial, and 0.12 % as public and semi-public area while 0.07 %area is under industrial use.
As per the Census 2001 total households were 1655 with the HH size 6.5. For the projected population in
2035, housing requirement will be 2777 extra number of houses need to be build is 1809 which includes 389
houses for EWS/Slum people and rest for non-slum population.
The future growth possibilities and directions have been discussed with respect to five aspects that include
existing a) urban growth, b) the transportation lines, c) availability of abundant agricultural land in GNP, d)
natural and e) the proposed economic activities. For the upcoming population it is necessary to strengthen
the basic infrastructure of the town.
Infrastructure: Basic infrastructures are the key element for the better city environment and life of the
people. It can also helpful in the efficient and effective development of all the sectors. For this purpose it is
necessary to supply quality services.
Water Supply: for drinking water GNP dependent on ground water. There were two water tankers with the
capacity of 90000 litres each, two ponds, 5 tube wells and 78 hand pumps used as the source of water
supply. Quality of available underground water supply was good. 65% of GNP area was covered with water
supply network which mainly along the major roads. Total Water supply in GNP area was 570 Lakh litres; Per
capita water supply was 37.2 litres. As per the Census 2001 out of 1697 households, 31% of households had
water connection within their premises, 33% of HHs had near the premises and rest households had source
of water away from house. There was no water treatment plan, chlorination was happening once in 2 weeks.
By the year 2035 total water demand will be 2.04 MLD for 13883 people; this amount includes fire demand,
industrial demand and losses in handling.
Sewerage and Sanitation: In GNP area households are disposing waste directly to the storm water drain or in
unused open area. There was no underground sewerage system to serve the town population. Sewerage and
sanitation within the town area was very poor. Sewage disposal in the town was mainly individual type.
People also used to go for open defecation. The households in the new settlement areas which have their
own septic tanksare cleaned through mud pumps. Due to the poor sewerage and sanitation, there was high
chance of contamination of ground water. As per the sanitation survey conducted in 2008, 30.8% of HHs had
water closet latrine, 30.15% of HHs had pit toilets and 39.30.05% HHs had other toilet facilities. Majority of
houses (around 84.7%) had no toilet facilities within their premises. There were only two public toilets, which
were not getting clean on regular basis. There was need of around 15 public toilets. The sewerage system in
town needs to develop with 60% sewer network coverage to households by the year 2015 and 100% by 2025.
By the year 2015, 80% waste water should be treated followed by 100% by 2025. In addition to that, 60-70%
Page xvi

O & M cost recovery will be achieved by the year 2015 followed by 80-90% by 2025 and 100% by the year
2035.
Drainage System: Town had no proper drainage system, along the SH-9, SH-52 and major roads, drains were
constructed but due to the lack of proper maintenance by GNP, it was blocked by waste dumping, means
there was no proper cleaning system. During rainy season blocked waste flows to big water bodies existing in
the town. GNP is responsible for operation and maintenance of drainage system in the town. Major portions
of these drains require de-silting and repairs. Due to the lack of proper drainage channel and direct disposal
of waste, surface water available within the premises was getting polluted. During rainy season these water
bodies were the main cause of flooding in the town and surrounding areas. All drains were open and blocked,
making foul smell.
Solid Waste Management: Govindgarh is a semi-urban area, in which generated solid waste was 0.74 MT per
day or in another word, 70 grams per capita per day. Generally, waste coming from all sources were mixed to
municipal waste or dumped in to an un0used open land. Like other medium size town, constituent of solid
waste in GNP area were mix of organic and inorganic. There were not any kinds of system through which
waste can be separated in organic, inorganic, recyclable, non-recyclable, degradable and non-degradable
matter. There was no door to door waste collection system. There was no area which had been identified for
the disposal of solid waste, waste collected from all the sources were dumped in the illegal low lying land.
For the storage of solid waste, 7 dustbins had been provided. There was no processing unit for the collected
waste. Generally waste metals and plastics were collected by slum people and they sell it to scrap dealers.
For handling of solid waste GNP has some motorised and non-motorised vehicles like one tractor, one trolley,
7 dust bins, ten hand-pulled cart and two thela or tricycles. For the projection year 2035 waste generated
waste per capita will be 3.47 MT per day.
Traffic and Transportation: for growing town like Govindgarh, it is necessary handle traffic at its initial stage.
Two state highways are passing through this city i.e. SH-9 and SH-52, which bring traffic from surrounding
cities connected with these two state highways. Frequency of jeeps and auto-rickshaws were more than bus
and other modes. This town is well accessible through roads only. Within the GNP area estimated numbers of
vehicles were bicycle: 4000, two wheelers: 600-700, cars: 10-15, trucks: 20-25, jeeps: 40, auto-rickshaws: 20,
hand pulled-cart: 30-35.
The traffic system is regulated under the Rewa District Office of Madhya Pradesh Transport Department.
Whole traffic and transportation can be divided into two categories - inter-city and intra-city based on the
influence of area. Mostly people were using private and intermediate public transport mode in comparison
to bus due to the less frequency of buses. Total road length was 19.08 km which constitutes pucca roads 13.5
km and kutcha road 5.58 km. Due to the lack of parking and proper traffic management, generally people
park their vehicle on roads thus roads were getting congested. Traffic movement were slow due to the mix
nature of traffic i.e. pedestrian and vehicles.
For proper traffic movement GNP should expand and widen the roads, sufficient parking space should be
provided for the growing population and the vehicle growth.
Street Lighting and Fire Fighting: within the GNP area along the major roads, street lighting was in working
condition, town has nearly 559 street light poles. Out of the total street light poles, there is some sort of
street light on 407 poles. Out of the 407, 148 poles have sodium vapour lamps, 162 poles have energy tube
lights and 97 have bulbs.
There was no separate office which deals with the fire fighting; GNP was taking help from Rewa town in case
of emergency.
Page xvii

As per the UDPFI Guidelines, Govindgarh Nagar Parishad at present has surplus of street light and expected
to maintain the future requirement by 2035 which will be around 45.
Education: in GNP area there were 5 government schools, out of which 3 were primary, 1 was boys high
school and a higher secondary school for girls. There were 4 private schools. All schools were having basic
facilities like toilets, drinking water and playground. The town had 1 Anganwadi in each ward. As already
mentioned that town had 57.45% of literacy rate in Census 2001 which increased to 66.55% in Census 2011,
but town has lower literacy rate in comparison to district.
Medical: GNP was active in maintaining the environment clean and hygiene. There was one Community
Health Centre (CHC) with 30 beds and two Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in surrounding Gram Panchayats
Rehat and Tikar. There are five doctors, five nurses, two assistant nurses and two supporting staff. The
prevalent diseases in town are malnutrition, viral diarrhoea, dysentery, malarial fever and tuberculosis. There
was an ambulance for emergency. During the time of rainy season and the time of communicable disease
vaccination is arranged by the GNP. The department of public health and family welfare is responsible for
health related factors in the state of Madhya Pradesh, this department also organises campaign and health
awareness programmes. Basic health facilities were provided by the health centres.
Recreational facilities and Sports Facilities: There were no such recreational spaces for town people. There
was a Ramlila ground which was used once in a year during Ramlila festival. For the recreational spaces, GNP
should identify the different location like temples surroundings, front area of ponds etc. As per the UDPFI
guidelines town needs 0.8 Ha of land for recreational purpose.
Urban Poor: Like other towns or cities, Govindgarh had poor people; around 21.5% of the total population
were in slum. They were basically involved in informal activities, giving services to the resident people and
working as lower level staff in government offices. In the slum area there was no basic services, like
municipal water supply, solid waste management, drainage network, poor housing condition, no proper
electricity etc. There were slums in 7 wards out of which slums of 3 were notified as a slum wards. All slums
were settled on unused government land, for legal ownership of the slum dwellers government had been
given land to them on patta basis. Houses in the slums were kutcha type made up of mud, mud tiles, iron
sheet roofs, thatch, bamboo etc. Most of these houses were lack of toilet, power, security, water etc. Slum
dwellers were dependent for water on open well, municipal supply. All drain lines were hand made and
kutchha type was made by the digging out the soil. For sanitation purpose slum dwellers were using pit
latrine, few houses had water closets with septic tank and people were also going for open defecation. In
slums, mostly roads were kutchha type and narrow, low provisions of street lighting, people were dumping
solid waste in open areas. In terms of social infrastructures, children were going to the Government School
far from the slums, schools also had lack of basic facilities, there was no health facilities, near to the slums,
people had to go to the community health centre around 1.5 km far from their houses. For the projected
population of slums there was a shortage of 389 houses for the projected population of 2983.
To improvement of slum conditions within the city main strategies are to include slum people participation in
the improvement programmes, proper waste collection and bin should be provided in the slums, relocation
of hazardous slums to the safe place, legal land ownership to the family, provision of employment based
education and health centres, employment opportunity to the young people. Etc.
Environment: There was no flora fauna or forest within the GNP area. At regional level the region is rich in
minerals, different types of forest; these forests are protected by the villagers. Predominant trees in the
forest are Neem, jamun, mango, eucalyptus, sagon, sal, tendu, shishum, teak, palas, saja, mahua, bamboo
etc. The Rewa district is famous for white tiger, beers, panther, sambar, chinkara, and other species.
Page xviii

For pollution checking there was no such monitoring facility in GNP, monitoring of pollution was done by the
Pollution Control Board located in Rewa.
Existing institutional Framework for Development: the main organising body in the town was Govindgarh
Nagar Parishad, which provides all the civic services, levies local taxes and maintains the all information
regarding births, death etc. GNP has the power to make byelaws, dealing of properties related issues, budget
preparation, to establish the fund for Municipal Corporation, to increase or decrease the different taxes, to
make rules and regulations etc.
The main function and activities of Town & Country planning department are governed by MP Nagar tatha
Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam 1973 and rules prepared there-under e.g. MP Nagar tatha Gram Nivesh Niyam 1975
and MP Bhumi Vikas Niyam 1984. The main functions are: preparation of Town Development Plan, Review
Evaluation and Modification of existing Development Plan, Preparation of Regional Development Plan,
Monitoring and Enforcement of various schemes such as Integrated Development Plan of Small and Medium
Towns (IDSMT) and Urban Infrastructure Development scheme for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT),
Control on unauthorized development in towns and functions of State Nodal Agency for National Urban
Information System Scheme. The activities of the department include preparation of development plan for
investment areas of towns, preparation of regional plans for investment regions, control and inspection of
planning for uniform development of small and medium-sized cities, development of infrastructure of towns,
guidance in execution of development plans, check on unauthorized development of cities, guidance in policy
making to development authorities/ special zone development authorities/ housing board and other
institutions, guidance and assistance to state government and other institutions for management/ land
planning/ selection of place and state nodal agency for nation urban information.
Within the state, housing and infrastructure related issues are dealt by the Madhya Pradesh Housing and
Infrastructure Board. This housing board does not receive any subsidy from the government. The main
objective of this board is to provide affordable housing to all the needy people. The housing board
contributes around 10,000 plots and 6,000 houses per year to the housing stock in the state. It has invested
around Rs. 2,000 crores in construction and housing sector. In the M.P. state housing board is working
successfully.
M.P. pollution control board (MPPCB) is dealing all the environment issues and major responsibilities of the
board are to reduce, control and monitor the environmental pollution.
Investment Plan: For GNP revenue account comprises tow components: revenue income and revenue
expenditure. Revenue income generates from the taxes, state and central governments, financial institutions.
Revenue expenditure means the expenditure incurred on salaries, operation and maintenance cost,
contribution in the projects, donations and debt servicing etc.
Total income of Govindgarh in the financial year 2008-09 was 107.33 lakhs, in 2009-10 was 141.75 Lakhs and
it was 174.81 Lakhs in the financial year 2010-11. Total income of Govindgarh is increasing every year
because of increasing Property as well as resources of taxes and grants. Total expenditure in the financial
year2008-09 was 103.5 lakhs, in 2009-10 was 91.5 lakhs and in 2010-11 was 136.25 lakhs.
Revenue collection should be computerised, e-governance should be incorporated, preparation of demand
collection balance at ward level etc.
For the prioritisation of finance, issues and problems and regarding that possible proposals had been
identified at sector wise, as per the strength of problems sharing of funding has been done for different
financial bodies (i.e. central, state and local government and private sectors). Financial Sharing in the project
Page xix

within the GNP area has been classified as 30% by the central govt., 40% by the state govt., 20% by the
municipal body and 10% by the private sectors.
Urban Reforms: The main objective behind the development strategies is to improve the urban governance
so that the local governing bodies will be financially sound with enhanced credit rating and to access the
market capital for undertake the programmes and expansion of services. This model also allows the private
sectors to work with public sectors in the development sectors. There are two types of reform mandatory
reforms and optional reforms.
The mandatory reforms will be done at ULBs and state level. At ULBs level adoption of accrual-based double
entry system, introduction of e-governance, GIS & MIS etc. IT applications, to levy of reasonable user
charges, reforms of property taxes, provision of basic and effective services to the all section of society. At
the state level implementation of de-centralised measures for the planning functions, delivery of services and
enactment of community participation etc.
Optional reforms also will be on state and ULBs level. This reform includes enactment and revision of rules,
regulations and laws, earmarking of developed land for the poor category of society, introduction of IT,
encouraging PPP model etc.
City Vision: The town vision includes several aspects for the sustainable development of a town. It includes
vibrant economy, vibrant commercial hub, sustainable ecology and pleasing environment. Major emphasis
has been given on agro-based economy and tourism to make town life more pleasing and ecologically better.
There are potentials within the town for such developments in the form of religious places or structures,
water bodies, bio-diversities etc. For improvement of slums different steps should be done as per the central
schemes. In urban governance special training related to the computers, latest software and technologies
will be given to the all staff.
To achieve the Goals of CDP, it is necessary to supply all infrastructure facilities according to the population
growth rate of the town. Common problems of growing Indian town are lack of basic infrastructures,
employment, affordable housing and education, vehicular congestion; lack of open spaces etc. which further
can
support
the
floating
population.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Madhya Pradesh is urbanizing at a fast pace and the Urban Local Bodies of the state are facing the challenge
of meeting the requirements of the growing population with limited technical and financial resources.
Government of India (GoI) as well as the Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) have initiated a number of
programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery. Two prominent schemes of
the GoI are: Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP), while the GoMP has initiated DFID funded
MPUSP which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the poor. Other than these there are several
programmes that have been launched by the GoI and GOMP.
1.2 Concept and Principle of City Development Plan

A CDP is a planning process and a vision for future development of the city, which builds and improves the
partnership between various stakeholders groups viz. citizens from various social groups including slum
dwellers & senior citizens, trade bodies, citizen forums, professionals, freedom fighters, journalists, informal
business entities etc. and line agencies or government departments/organizations for efficient and improved
delivery & management of various urban basic services within the city.
The consultative approach based CDP preparation assures realistic demand-based infrastructure
development, its spatial distribution and equity in services delivery. This process confirms better asset
management, improved delivery of services towards urban poor and good governance. It also encourages
the people to think about the direction and pace of development of their city thereby evolving and defining
the development strategies to translate the vision into strategic plans incorporating sectoral investment plan
that give an impetus to economic growth and poverty reduction.
There are ways and means to undertake a consultative process in a given situation in a city. Therefore, DMG
Consulting (P) Ltd. has adopted the process of targeted focus group discussion in a cluster of wards at a
centrally located destination to document public views in a structured manner. This has brought two aspects
to the notice of the consultant; one, divergent views of the public and the other, spatial disparity in terms of
municipal services delivery. The consultant has undertaken the process of consultation with various
stakeholder groups like urban poor, women, senior citizens, traders etc. These groups bring their issues,
needs, suggestions and aspirations. Such issues and suggestions are reviewed by the CDP Consultant team
before incorporating and mainstreaming them in CDP preparation. This approach will strengthen inclusive
planning process and will be more inclined towards urban poor, gender-mainstreaming issues etc. resulting
in strategic and sustainable development of the city in the future.
The essence of planning is efficient use of public resources and demand driven services delivery approach. It
establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment decisions. The DMG Consulting
(P) Ltd. accesses, analyzes and presents the current stage of the citys development and sets out the
directions of change. It also identifies the thrust areas based on vision of common man and marketing the
city economy for developing a sustainable city development plan, suggests alternative strategies and
interventions for bringing about the desired change and also provides a framework of projects which need to
be identified and implemented on priority basis.
The principle of CDP is to develop a sustainable city with quality life & infrastructure, improved economic
environment and competitiveness of Nagar Parishad in industry & services sector with efficient and
transparent city management.
Page 2

The preparation of CDP will present both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULBs
strategic framework and investment interventions for the identified sectors, which intends to work towards
achieving their long-term vision in the next twenty five years.
1.3
Objective of the Assignment
The following objectives have been framed to achieve the goal of City Development Plan:
1.4
To identify the challenges of the city
To prepare a perspective and Vision for the future development of the city.
To improve and strengthen the municipal services including their delivery and management system and
making them self-sustaining
To focus on the development of economic and social infrastructure
To suggest policies and programmes that specifically address the issues of urban poor
It is expected that the CDP will serve the requirements of the UIDSSMT and IHSDP programmes as well
as JNNURM and other development schemes
To assist the State government to undertake such urban sector reforms, which facilitate flow of
investments into city based infrastructure
To strengthen the municipal governments, their financial management and accounting processes,
thereby promoting transparency in their functioning.
Understanding of Terms of Reference Vis a Vis Methodology of the Study
The understanding of terms of reference under city development plan refers to broad contours of the
assignment including status of the existing infrastructure, supply and demand gap assessment, key issues
and concerns of city development, major economic drivers & opportunities, city vision and positioning of the
city, identifying key projects to achieve the city vision and aspiration of citizens, preparing city investment
plans and phasing of implementation framework including capacity building and reforms to be undertaken
to achieve the envisaged city development goals and vision.
The methodology will document and bring a stepwise process and sequential arrangement of tasks and
activities. These activities will have a set of processes to follow and guidelines to adhere so that the broad
objectives and goals of the study are achieved. In other words, methodology is a set of methods and
techniques employed to achieve the targeted goals/objectives of the proposed study. The understanding of
Terms of Reference is crucial to derive and plan a proper methodology to achieve broad objectives and goals
of the study. Therefore the Terms of Reference (ToR) and methodology are complementary and mutually
inclusive in nature.
1.5
Approach and Methodology for Preparation of CDP
The CDP preparation is both a perspective and a vision for the future development of a city captured through
a consultative process. It presents the current stage of the citys development where we stand 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 the evaluation of investment decisions.
Page 3

The CDP clearly defines how the Nagar Parishad of Govindgarh will serve its citizens, for example how it
intends to guarantee a basic level of urban services to all citizens, make urban planning responsive to
emerging needs and become responsive to the needs of and improve its services to local businesses .
The CDP also explains how Nagar Parishad of Govindgarh will run its business, e.g. how it intends to manage
public finance in an efficient and transparent way, execute urban planning and governance in line with an
established framework, become more responsive and cost and time efficient by integrating technology in its
governance and service delivery processes.
Finally, the CDP lays down Nagar Parishad Govindgarhs strategy to manage its resources, for example using
performance indicators - physical, financial and institutional, i.e. it details the corporations intensions to
increase revenue and expand its tax base to allow for self-sustaining urban service delivery, improve its
creditworthiness and recruit and retain a skilled workforce. This will involve capacity building and includes
Training Needs Assessment (TNA), job holders analysis i.e. who has to do what? Business Plan Preparation for
monitoring implementation will include development of performance indicators Physical, Financial and
Institutional.
The process of CDP preparation has been initiated with a Kick Off workshop which reveals the process,
purpose and outcomes including steps of CDP preparation, a public consultation, focused group meetings
with concerned stakeholders and one to one meetings with Nagar Parishads departmental heads and with
the line departments elected representatives viz. MP/MLA and business - including trade bodies and
professionals. This forms the basis of all stages of CDP from vision statement, identification of goals and
issues , strategy for development, preparation of priority matrix for project identification, sequential phasing
of projects including city investment plan and long term perspective plan up-to year 2035.
The diagnostic exercise, inception, city profile and sector analysis includes detailed assessment of the existing
situation of the city. The purpose of this analysis is to make a realistic assessment of where the city is, i.e. its
current status, the direction in which it has been moving and its strengths and weaknesses. It covers the
citys demographic, economic, financial, infrastructural (specifically service delivery), physical and
environmental profile. It also considers the citys institutional framework, innovation in management, if any,
and e-governance initiatives underway and status of e-readiness of Nagar Parishad Govindgarh.
The overall objective of the consultation process is to get the viewpoints of the stakeholders in the
identification of issues as well as vision formulation. Specific objectives are:
To involve local residents in the CDP process
To enable stakeholders to express their views

about existing problems and proposals
To create a shared flow of information
To enable local ownership of the city
development plan

1.6
Scope of Work
The scope or work of preparation of CDP has been divided into four stages: Inception, Sectoral Assessment
and preparation of City profile, preparation of city vision and identification of development objectives, and,
drafting and submission of the City Development Plan. DMG Consulting Pvt. Ltd. has prepared the CDP in
conformity with the scope defined in the ToR, in close collaboration with the concerned ULB.
Stage 1: Inception
The review and analysis of the current status and unique features of the city with regard to the state of its
development, systems and procedures, as well as its institutional and financial context is taken-up at the
initial stage also known as the inception stage. The main activities include introduction of CDP concept,
purpose and outcome to public representatives like MLA, President, Ward Councillors, citizens forming the
city, along with Chief Municipal Officer - Heads of Nagar Parishad Govindgarh, Departmental Heads and other
personnel involved in the project. Associated tasks involve familiarity visit to city and review of its growth
pattern, identification of growth corridors, collection and collation of information and data from Nagar
Parishad and other line Departments/Agencies/Organizations, . This stage will identify the strengths,
weaknesses and opportunities in the city for its development and will provide an understanding of what
hampers the service delivery and management within the existing set-up and how can it better contribute to
efficient and self-sustaining service provision. This stage involves the following activities.
The assignment commenced with the preliminary meeting with the officials of the Nagar Parishad
Govindgarh to understand their requirements from this assignment.
The Major Activities during Inception Stage were as follows:
Reconnaissance
The CDP consultant has conducted introductory meetings with the President, Chief Municipal Officer, Head
of Departments, Councillors, representatives of ongoing urban programmes, etc. to understand the dynamics
and divergent views about the city and to gather secondary information such as - expansion of the city in
respect to the city boundary including land-use or base map for the Nagar Parishad Govindgarh, demographic
profile of the city including data on slums/urban poor, Socio-economic profile, ULBs status in terms of its
functions, strength and composition of various departments, ULBs annual budget reports, ULBs budget
allocations/proposal for coming financial years, other ongoing projects under past and current urban
development programmes , reports giving status of service delivery, relevant documents on heritage listing
and government policy documents etc.
CDP Consultant has had interactions with various institutions, organizations and key stakeholders such as
PHED, Town and Country Planning Department, local residents of various social groups, local NGOs, CBOs
etc. and other line departments, that have any role and responsibility in city planning and administration
with reference to development, delivery and maintenance of urban basic service to the citys population.
Detailed secondary data on the urban infrastructures and services viz. Drinking Water Supply, Drainage,
Sewerage, Sanitation, Solid Waste Management, Roads and street lighting etc was collected through
available documents and reports.
A field reconnaissance has been done with regard to up gradation of base map and various characteristics of
the town such as growth corridors, growth patterns, major physical constraints which limit the citys spatial
growth, major land-use type of the city, exiting planning issues and challenges , housing typology,
development undertaken under public and private sectors including entrepreneur builders, selfconstruction, slum growth and locations, corridors of major development potential, regulations, overview of
urban basic services - drinking water supply system, drainage & sewerage network, sanitation, solid waste
Page 5

management, street lighting, traffic and transportation including- road networks system, pedestrian, public
transportation system, mode of transportation, business and economy, informal and urban haats, major
environmental hot spots, heritage & cultural landscape including monuments, management of religious
places and places of worship and public places management including parks and open spaces. Identification
of major economic and services sector drivers Vis a Vis thrust and potential sectors to identify for special
papers preparation under city development plan of Govindgarh.
At the same time with due consultation with President Nagar Parishad Govindgarh, Chief Municipal Officer
and other ULB Officials, consultant has accessed/determined the feasibility and composition of City Level
Steering Group (comprising of Citizen Forum) for the formulation of CDP.
Kick-off Workshop
The kickoff workshop is a formal entry level activity to start the city development plan. The consultant
proposed to have one to one meetings with the Mayor, head of Nagar Parishad and heads of the various
departments of the ULB to fix a date, time and venue for a one day kick-off workshop with the identified
various stakeholders to familiarize them with the purpose, process and expected outcomes of the CDP and
build enthusiasm, understanding and commitment to the CDP. A one day kick-off workshop with Nagar
Parishad Govindgarhs support was organized (Dated-21/11/2011).
The kick off workshop helped in deriving a consensus along with the stakeholders firming the process and
agreeing upon a structured programme to take the CDP forward. The formation of the Steering Group will
also be announced as well as the sectors for which detailed analysis will be carried out.
Figure 1-2: Stage 1: Inception
Stakeholders for the Kick-off workshop include:

Elected representatives such as President and councillors, Line Departments of the state government such as
pollution control board, departments of transport, industries, health, tourism, public health engineering, land
revenue, etc., non-governmental and community based organizations, representatives of the poor
communities, representatives of media, academic institutions, etc.
Preliminary Situational Analysis

Preliminary analysis was done on the basis of secondary data and stakeholder consultations. The analysis and

Stage 2: Sectoral Assessment and City/Town Profile
Sector Analysis
The sector analysis was carried out in consultation with the local counterparts. Interaction with various
stakeholder groups (meetings, workshops, focus group discussions, etc.), reviewing relevant publications,
reports, GOs, resolutions, procedures, laws etc. to analyse the current situation in each of the identified
sectors. Detailed analysis at this stage included study of physical and demographic characteristics of the
town, socio-economic analysis, infrastructure services, housing and slums, traffic and transportation sector,
environment and forests, heritage conservation and tourism etc.
City/Town Profile
The findings from the sector analysis have been used in preparing the City Profile consisting of assessment of
the existing situation in all the identified sectors, emerging issues, SWOT analysis and analysis of the present
gaps and future requirements.
The framework of parameters includes issues relating to demography, economic base, finance, physical and
environmental issues, infrastructure, and institutions and universalize of services especially for the poor.
Figure 1-4: Stage 2: Sector Assessment and City Profile
Page 7

Stage 3: City Vision and Development Objectives
Under this stage a city vision for 25 years was developed and the major actions required for long term and
short term need of the city were discussed. This stage outlined the nature of consultation activities
conducted by the project team as part of goals, city vision and strategy for development of the CDP.
Consultations with local communities, local government and state government were held by the Consultant
to provide an opportunity for community and government participation in the CDP process. These activities
aimed to form an open and cooperative communication process between the team of CDP preparation and
all stakeholders.
Development of Strategies and Priority Actions

This task involves a strategy for bridging the gap between where the city is and where it wishes to go.
Strategies and interventions were identified for attaining the vision and future development perspectives.
The chosen strategies were translated into programmes and projects in this stage.
Development of strategies and prioritization involves identification of specific programs and projects in each
development area and a brief description of each of them covering an overview of the proposed
program/project including their goals, objectives, broad financial implications and contribution to the vision

INTRODUCTION TO GOVINDGARH
2.1
Introduction to Rewa
Rewa district is situated in the north-eastern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh in India. It was a princely
state of Vindhya Pradesh. The city lies about 420 kilometres northeast of the state capital Bhopal and 130
kilometres south of the city of Allahabad.
It lies between 240 18 and 250 12 north latitudes and 810 2 and 820 18. The district is bounded on the north
by Uttar Pradesh, on the east and southeast by Sidhi on the south by Shahdol and on the west by Satna.
The district has a varied terrain that includes alluvial plains, hills, ravines, scarp, rivers, and water-falls. The
rain-water of the district flows out along two tributary rivers of the Ganges the Tamas and the Son.
According to the 2011 census, Rewa District has a population of 2,363,744, roughly equal to the nation of
Latvia or the US state of New Mexico. This gives it a ranking of 191st in India (out of a total of 640). The
district has a population density of 374 inhabitants per square kilometre. Its population growth rate over the
decade 2001-2011 was 19.79%. Rewa has a sex ratio of 930 females for every 1000 males and a literacy rate
of 73.42%.
A limestone belt runs through the Rewa district and coal is found in the nearby districts of Shahdol, Umaria,
Sidhi and Singrauli. Cement factories are located in nearby Naubasta, Bela (Satna district) and Bhagwar (Sidhi
district). The Jaypee Group has built a township known as Jaypee Nagar in Rewa. Asia's biggest cement
factory, Prism cement (previously Rasi Cement), operates near Rewa in Satna district. Various Birla Group
Companies, such as Vindhya Tele Links and Birla Ericson Ltd., are also located there.
In 2006, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Rewa one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of
a total of 640 districts in India). It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving funds from
the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGFP).
2.2
Administrative Boundary
Govindgarh, the summer capital of Maharaja Rewa, is about 19 kilometres from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.
Govind Garh is also known as `Mini Vrindavan` and a large number of famous temples are situated in the
region. Major temples are Ram Govind Temple, Panchmukhi Temple, Chowandi Temple, Shiva Temple and
Hanuman Temple. All these temples are within the vicinity of the famous Govind Garh Fort. It is also believed
that the name Govind Garh was based on the Govind Temple; build by Maharaja Venkat Raman Pratap Singh,
now situated within the Govind Garh Fort Premises.
The town also holds an important place in the history of India. It is famous for its royal history and structures
such as Govindgarh Fort. Besides being known for its various monuments and history the city has also been
known for its agricultural and some economic activities.
Geographically, the town lies at 2422 north latitude and 8117 east longitude at an altitude of about 330
meter above mean sea level in Baghelkhand Region. The town is divided into 15 wards.

2.3
Location and Connectivity
Located in the North-eastern part of Rewa District, Govindgarh town is well connected to the rest of the
towns of M.P. and U.P. by Road. Govindgarh is famous as the birth place of White tiger. The famous Sunderja
mango variety is a medal winner variety. The town forms the valley of the Chhuiya hill.
Roadways
Two state highways i.e. State Highway 9 and 52 pass through the town making it accessible to the other
nearby areas. The town is also well connected to rest of the towns of by other major district roads at regional
level.
Railway Linkage: Govindgarh town is not directly linked to other places directly by the Indian Railway
System; the nearest railway station being Rewa Junction, the district headquarters at a distance of 19
kilometres followed by Allahabad at a distance of 148 km.
Airways: The nearest airport is Satna Airport at a distance of 54 km. which has an airstrip but is however not
in use for regular fights followed by Bamrauli (Defence Air Base) near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh which is
approximately 161 km. from Govindgarh.

Study Area
The study area Govindgarh Town covers an area of about 13.25 sq. Km. under the jurisdiction of
Govindgarh Nagar Parishad (GNP). For the administration and management of civic needs & services for a
total population of about 10535 (as per Census - 2011), the town is divided into 15 wards represented by
ward councillors elected by the citizens. Figure 2.3 describes the Study Area: Govindgarh Nagar Parishad.

Physical Characteristics
2.5.1. Topography & Geology

The town is located at an altitude of about 330 meter above mean sea level in Baghelkhand Region. The
terrain of the region is typified as hilly. The whole of Rewa District is located on the Vindhya Range of hills.
Govindgarh forms the south-western plain of Vindhya Range and Kaimur Ranges gently sloping towards
north. The medium deep black soil is intensively cultivated and highly productive. The soil is cavernous,
slightly alkaline and shows swell and shrink properties.
2.5.2. Climate
The climate of this zone can be divided into three distinct seasons, namely,
Monsoon lasting from mid June to September
Winter from November to February
Summer from March to June.
The climate of the area is characterised by hot and dry summers and mild winters. Annual precipitation in the
town ranges from 1000 to 1500 mm.

The rainfall distribution pattern is irregular. Approximately 90% of all rainfall in the region caused by the
monsoon falling from June to October accounts for average annual rainfall of about 950-1100 mm but most
of it gets lost due to runoff. July and August are the months of maximum rainfall. April is the driest month of
the year, the scant winter rainfall is useful for the cultivation of Rabi crops but is usually inadequate without
access to supplementary irrigation purposes.
2.6
Agriculture, Industry, Minerals, Flora & Fauna
The main crops of the region are rice, millets and wheat. More than one-third of the area is covered with
forests, yielding timber and there are some cement factories as well in the vicinity of Govindgarh.
The chief means of subsistence of the people in this region is agriculture. The area has a very high yield of
Soyabean, Grain and Masoor. Wheat is the other major crop produced in this region.
The town has small scale manufacturing industries such as Bidi making works etc. There are not many big or
large scale industries in Govindgarh town producing industrial products.
At regional level, the region is rich in valuable minerals, forests and wild animals. Bauxite, coal, lime, basalt,
iron ore, etc are some of the minerals available in abundance in this region. A rich store of fuel exists in the
coal-seams of the Barakar group in the Gondwana series. The colliery at Umaria has been successfully
worked for many years, and the Johilla coal field contains coal of even better quality.
The prevalent trees in the forests of Rewa District are sagon, sal, tendu, shishum, bambaoo etc. The
brushwood consists mainly of the species Grewiazizyphus, Casearia, Antidesma, Woodfordia, Flueggia,
Phyllanthus, Bosewellia and Buchanania with occasional trees of mahua (Bassialatifolia).
Govindgarh or can be said the district Rewa is famous for white tigers. The first white tiger Mohan was
captured in 1951 in the nearby jungles was kept in this palace till his death. The unusual coloration of white
tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment showcasing exotic animals. The magicians Siegfried
& Roy are famous for breeding and training two white tigers for their performances, referring to them as
"ROYAL WHITE TIGERS", referring to the white tiger's association with the Maharaja of Rewa.
Rewa Maharaja Martand Singh first observed male white tiger Mohan during his visit to Govindgarh jungle at
Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. After hunting for months, he was able to capture the first living white tiger seen in
nature. With the help of veterinary experts, he unsuccessfully tried to breed the white tiger with coloured
Page 17

female tigers. Eventually, however, he succeeded in creating a second generation of white tigers. In time, it
expanded around the world.
At a recent meeting of the Central Zoo Authority (CZA), Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has given a goahead to the state governments proposal to start a zoo, rescue centre and captive breeding of highly
endangered white tigers at Maand reserve near Govindgarh Fort.
2.7
SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Govindgarh is well connected to all major towns

and cities at regional level through state highways
State highway 9 and 52 pass through the centre of
the town
Natural Drainage Slope
The medium deep black soils highly potential
The average annual rainfall is 1100 mm.
The town has some historical monuments such as
Govindgarh fort and some temples.
WEAKNESS
The town is not directly linked with Indian
Railway System
No initiatives for River front development
Development is mainly confined along the
state highway 9 and 52 and important roads
passing through the city.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Lake named Raja Talab of the city has a great

potential for the development of tourist activities
Good road connectivity and abundant agricultural
land can induce and uphold the development of
Agro-based industries and townships.
Being situated in the Baghelkhand Region the town
has rich potential of flora and fauna species.
City may face environmental problems due to

tourist inflow.
The historical monuments are not conserved.

CHAPTER 3
Demographic Profile of the Town
Page 19

3.1
DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE TOWN

Background
A demographic profile has been prepared based on analysis of census data, data from GNP and other
secondary sources and discussion with GNP. The analysis covers, apart from the population growth and
trends in the town, an assessment of the other social characteristics of the population including literacy,
education, gender etc. These analyses, together with the economic base will form the basis for working out
the growth scenarios for the town.
3.2
Population Trend and Urbanization
As per the Census of India, 1991 the total population of Govindgarh town was about 8437 which increased to
9697 in year 2001 with decadal growth rate of 14.93 %. This population increased to 10535 in the year 2011
with a decadal growth rate of 8.64 %. This decreased decadal growth rate is very significant for an emerging
town like Govindgarh. It gives an inference that the population of the town is increasing but at a lower rate
which means the thinking and perception of the public is changing toward the population increment.
Alternatively, it can also be surmised that there is considerable outflow of the population to other areas; a
reflection of lesser economic opportunities in the Nagar Parishad area.

At district level the decadal population growth rate is also highly skewed during the period 1961-2011. The
average decadal growth rate during 1961-1971 was 26.5% which declines to 23.50% in 1971-1981 and
increased to 28.77% in 1981-1991 and subsequently declined to 26.84% during 1991-2001 and 19.85% in
2001-2011. This is because of out migration in search of livelihood as the Rewa District itself does not have
much potential in terms of education & health facilities, economic opportunities to cater the growing
population.

As far as distribution of population within the town is concerned, ward number 3, 6 and 8 have the maximum
concentration of population as per Census 2001. Only ward no. 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 14 accounts for more than
43% of total population of GNP. As far as population density is concerned, the core and old areas of the town
including some outer areas are densely populated. The lowest is 1 person per hectare in ward no. 15 because
it has more agricultural area and water bodies while the highest is 91.41 persons per hectare in ward no. 9.
Ward No. 4 and 7 have high population density with more than 50 persons per hectare. According to the
UDPFI guidelines, a small town should have an average population density of 75-125 population per hectare.
But in this town population density is only 8 persons per hectare.
The average household size for the town is 5.8 persons in 2001. At ward level, the average household size is
less than the towns average in all the wards except ward no. 4, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 13. The average household
size is lowest in ward no. 9 i.e. 5.2 persons while ward no. 8 have the highest i.e. 7.4. The Ward Wise

Population Projections
The population growth rate of the town has started declining since 1991 as per Census of India. The average
decadal growth rate of Govindgarh town for past 3 decades is 117.6%. The design populations for the next 25
years have been forecast for Govindgarh. The exercise has been done taking into account the population of
past decades and as per the guidelines detailed out in CPHEEO Manual. Looking to the factors governing the
future growth and development of Govindgarh Town like location, educational, industrial, commercial
(including investment from outside), tourism, social and administrative aspects, it is felt that the most
suitable method for population projection will be Geometrical Progression Method. However, other
methods suggested have also been followed.
3.5
Methodology Adopted to Estimate Population
For populations projection Plan Period three methods i.e. Arithmetic Progression Method, Geometrical
Progression Method and Incremental Progression Method were adopted.
3.5.1 Arithmetic Progression Method

Generally, the arithmetic progression method is applicable to large & old cities. This method usually gives
lower population & should be adopted when the future growth of the city is expected to be very slow. In this
method the decadal increase in population is calculated and the total increase in population is worked out by
dividing total increase in population in overall decades.

3.5.2 Geometrical Progression Method

Geometric means is calculated for finding the growth rate. This method is suitable to project population for
fast growing/developing town and city. It usually gives higher population figure.
Present & first decade:
(10535 9697) *100/9697
= 8.6 %
First & second decade:
(9697 8437)*100/8437

In this method, the increment in arithmetical increase is determined from the past decades and the average
of that increment is added to the average increase. This method increases the figures by obtained by
arithmetical increase method.

Summary of Population Projection through Various Methods
From the population projections c of Govindgarh Town it is calculated that;
Incremental Increase method followed by Arithmetic Progression Method has given very less
population and is not the suitable method for a town like Govindgarh which has very good prospects
of growth in near future.
Geometric Progression Method gives higher population as compared with Incremental Increase
through arithmetical progression method and is suitable & closer to reality as the town with
abundant agricultural land is located very much closer to district headquarters Rewa and has
substantial investment opportunity in various sectors escorting the development of town.
Thus the population has been taken as calculated by Geometric Progression Method.
3.7
Schedule Caste & Schedule Tribe Population
As per 2001 Census, out of the total population the Govindgarh Nagar Parishad had 18.05% (1751) of
Schedule Caste (SC) Population which is more than the National Average and District Average while 7.75 % of
total population accounts for Schedule Tribe (ST) Population in the town.

Literacy Rate
Literacy, being an important indicator of social development, affects the demographic characteristics and
work force participation.
As per 2001 Census, the average literacy rate of Govindgarh town was 57.45 % which has increased to
66.55% as per 2011 Census but it is lower as compared to the District Average of 73.42 %. The male literacy
rate as per census 2011 is high as 75.97 % while female literacy rate is a significant 56.58 %. The status of
women in terms of literacy has been significantly low at town level; this lower literacy rate may be due to the
absence of proper education facilities and the backwardness of the area. The lower female literacy rate may
be due to absence of social awareness. But due to pace of time the literacy rate has increased from the
previous decade, because of introduction of schemes to promote the education system in MP, like,
Improvement in Science Education Scheme, Modernisation Scheme of Madarsa Education, Integrated
Education for Disabled Children, Computer Literacy and Study Scheme in Schools, District Primary Education
Programme, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Education Gaurantee Scheme etc.

3.10 SWOT Analysis

STRENGTH
Literacy Rate is high and has been increasing
continuously over the years.
High literacy rate has resulted into awareness
about family planning.
WEAKNESS
Literacy rate among females is low as compared
to males.
Sex Ratio of Town is less than the average of
District, M.P and Urban India which means town
has out-migration trend due to lack of job
opportunities.
Sex-ratio among 0-6 age group is declining,
discouraging girl child birth.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Mining and other major industrial activities in

the South-western and south-eastern side of the
region.
Decline in population growth rate may slow

down the local economy.
Excessive out-migration may harm the economic
fabric of the town.

resulted into reduction in agricultural production
Lower sex ratio among 0-6 age group may
discourage girl child birth
Improper infrastructure services, local awareness
and un-developed lake front etc. are major
hindrance for the development of the tourism
Disposal of solid waste into the Talab (lake).
4.11 Issues
The overall population of Govindgarh is increasing but decadal population growth rate is decreasing from
last three decade because the town has lack of economic activities which causes migration of people to
other cities.
Town is rich in natural and architectural heritage but there is no management of these resources. In other
words, there is a lack of conservation in the town.
Town does not have a dumping site as a result of which, waste is disposed into open drains and along the
roads. It is a cause of pollution in water bodies.

PHYSICAL PLANNING AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT

Background
Urban land-use planning, attempts to achieve an optimal spatial coordination of different human activities
for enhancement of quality of life. It plans for community growth and development based on optimal landuse planning, urban design, economic and environmental planning principles. This chapter highlights the
analysis of general spatial growth pattern, directions and land-use distribution of the town.
5.2
Spatial Growth Trends
The total area of Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is about 13.25 sq. Km. with a population of about 10,535 as per
2011 Census. Out of the total area, the town has approximately 43 % developed area and 57 % undeveloped
area or agricultural land.
The spatial growth pattern suggests that the town is predominantly developing along the state Highway 52
and State Highway 9. The development has also occurred along Rewa road; Ameen Road. These areas have
high density across the road with residential and commercial landuse. Half of the area of Govindgarh is
undeveloped and is categorised under recreational spaces in the form of Govindgarh Fort, Sundar-van, Raja
Talab etc.
5.3
Spatial Distribution of Population
As per Census 2001, Govindgarh had a total population of 9697 which has increase to 10535 in 2011 and this
population distribution is uneven in the whole area. The development pattern is apparent in the density
pattern of the municipal area. Gross density of Govindgarh town is 7 persons per hectare and net density is
18 persons per hectare.
Density varies from one ward to the other and the core or inner areas of the town are densely populated. It is
evident that the pressure of development is more along the State Highway 52 and 9.

Land-use Analysis
The study of land-use pattern would enable us to understand the city as envisaged in the past and the
direction of its future growth and development. A change in land-use is inevitable over time and reflects the
needs and demands of the residents of the city. This section deals with the existing land-use of the town.
At present the total municipal area of Govindgarh town is 1323 Ha out of which current developed area is
572.68 Ha. (43.28 %) and 750.59 Ha. (56.72 %) area is undeveloped or agricultural land. This undeveloped
area consists of recreational and agricultural spaces. In the case of Govindgarh this undeveloped area is not a
bad situation rather it is a potential for the area.
The table below highlights the existing land-use pattern of the municipal area which has been tentatively
carried out by DMG based on Google image, town map provided by the Nagar Parishad followed by survey in
due consultation with officials of Govindgarh Nagar Parishad.

Housing Scenario
5.5.1 Introduction
Housing is a basic social need of each and every individual. It is an important determinant of the quality of life
of the people thus it needs to be addressed properly and judiciously. Adequacy of housing stock,
construction quality, the number of occupants in proportion to the number of rooms and the provision of
basic amenities are all important determinants of development. Hence, tackling housing needs to fulfil the
demand for the same is an important component of any city Development Plan. In Govindgarh housing
development is done by Madhya Pradesh Housing Board (MPHB) and private builders.
5.5.2 Housing Stock

As per Census of India 2001, there are 1655 households in Govindgarh Nagar Parishad (GNP) with an average
household size of 6.5 persons which is higher as compared to average national urban household sizes.

5.5.7 Present and Future Housing Demand

As per Census of India 2011, the average household size in the town is 5.6 which are higher than the national
urban average of 5.12. Since the town is in transition phase of development (rural to urban), it is semi-urban
in nature. The present and future housing demand for the town has been estimated by taking into account
the ideal size of a household / dwelling unit (DU) as 5.0. The average household size in most of the wards is
higher than the ideal household size.

Future Growth Possibilities
The future growth possibilities have been envisaged based on the existing growth pattern and the population
projection.
The present growth is mainly along the State Highway 52 and 9 and this will continue as this network is the
backbone of the town. Future growth can also be assumed along these major roads. The future development
of Govindgarh also depends upon the existing water bodies of the town such as Raja Talab, nallah, and two
other small ponds.
The future development will be in ward number 14, 13, 3, 5 and 6 for residential land-use. Commercial
development may occur in the form of tourism industry in ward number 15 due to the presence of the
heritage and religious structures as well as natural scenic beauty. This growth will be directed in the southeast and north-east direction due to the presence of connectivity and natural resources.
The future growth possibilities and directions have been discussed with respect to five aspects that include
existing urban growth, the transportation lines, availability of abundant agricultural land in GNP, natural and
the proposed economic activities. Municipal body should ensure the future development of town in a
planned manner as per these identified zones along with detailed layout master/development plans
prepared by TCP Department, Rewa.

URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

Introduction
The infrastructure profile of a town makes a direct reference on the quality of life within it. It is one of the
crucial considerations for the towns economic development and its investment climate. Infrastructure
services and its adequacy require an assessment be made of its coverage, quantity and quality, as also the
demand supply gap. This chapter presents the existing status and estimates the present and future gaps by
the year 2035. It includes all the major sectors/aspects including Water Supply; Sewerage and Sanitation;
Solid Waste Management; Drainage; Urban Transport; Community Facilities covered under both Physical
and Social Infrastructure.
6.2
6.2.1
Water Supply
Sources of Water Supply

The water supply system in Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is predominantly dependent on ground water. The
Raja Talab, Raghuraj Saga Talab, 5 tube wells and 78 hand pumps are the various sources of water supply in
the town. The quality of water drawn from all sources is fairly good. There is no detectable odour & taste and
the colour is found to be turbid.
Other than these sources 2 water tankers of capacity 90000 lt. are available with GNP.
Ward number 7 is completely devoid of municipal water supply while other wards have access to public
water supply system.
There are 2 OHT in the city and approximately 65 % population is covered by household supply system. At
present water supply is done through 384 household connections, 78 hand pump and 10 public taps in the
town.

Water Distribution System

The present water distribution system includes mainly three sources in the town i.e. tube well, hand pumps
and water pipelines. At present 65 % area of the town is covered with water supply. Total capacity of water
supply in the town is 570 lack litres of which 352 lack litres is supplied through taps, i.e. piped water supply.
There are around 384 individual water connections. There are around 140 number of household covered
with public taps, around 1453 number of household covered with hand pumps and around 50 number of
household with no accessibility to water.
At present there are 2 OHTs in the town of capacities 4.06 and 1.78 lack litres which are located in ward no.
10. Ward number 14 needs an OHT. At present the town does not have facility of water treatment plant.
Water is distributed everyday for 1 hour, approximate 25 % of the water is unaccounted due to damage of
pipelines.
Page 52

Thus, the town gets majority of water supply directly from these tube wells located in various part of town
without any treatment. The per capita supply of 37.2 litres per day is estimated under the existing supply
system which is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd.
These figures however, represent only the production from all sources. Actual quantity reaching the
consumers is even lower due to high Unaccounted Water Flow (UWF) per day. Thus, there is huge scarcity of
water and the water supply system in the town requires augmentation schemes on urgent basis.
Other Sources
In addition to the main sources, a significant volume of ground water is also extracted through hand pumps
and wells installed at various locations, which help in meeting the demand of the weaker sections of the
society.
Water Distribution Arrangements

The present water distribution system includes water pipelines system which is not sufficient. The water
distribution arrangement includes - 2 OHTs in town but are not working properly. The town gets majority of
water supply through the network of pipelines laid down in different part of the town.
There are total 384 residential water connections in town. The monthly charge for residential connection is
Rs. 45/- . Water during summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also supplied
through Water Tankers. Presently there are 2 Water Tankers with Nagar Parishad.

Internal Distribution Network

As far as the internal distribution network for water
supply is concerned, the water pipelines has been
laid down in ward no. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and
12 but mainly along the sides of the major roads. .
There is no water supply through pipelines in the
inner areas.
Figure 6-1: Water Supply Distribution Arrangements
Page 53

The water distribution network for Govindgarh provides a total of 384 water connections with 1 hour of
supply per day. As ward No. 13, 14 and 15 are across the river in the south, they do not have piped water
supply system. Hand pumps and own wells & tube wells are the major sources of water in these wards.
As per the Census 2001, out of total 1697 households, more than 50% of households have wells as the source
of water supply followed by almost 40 % through hand pump. Out of the above, 2 % houses have tube wells
for domestic water consumption, 31 % houses have water source within their premises, 33 % have near their
premises and for the rest source of water is away from house.

This shows that half of the total households in town are dependent on other means/sources of water supply
such hand pumps, own tube wells and wells etc.
Water Treatment Facilities

At present, the town does not have the facility of water treatment plant. The quality of water is fairly good
and direct water supply is also done through tube wells in the town. Chlorination is done in the water supply
with the chlorinator once in two weeks.

Present and Future Demand and Supply Gaps

As per the provisional figures of census 2011, Govindgarh Nagar Parishad had a total population of 10535.
According to the existing system a large percentage of population is dependent on hand pumps, wells and
other sources for day to day need of water. As per the projected population the water demand has been
estimated till 2035.

Comparative Analysis with UDPFI, CPHEEO Guidelines

Presently under the existing water supply system, the per capita supply of 37.2 litres per day is estimated for
town which is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 lpcd (UDPFI Guidelines).
These figures however, represent only the production from all sources. Actual quantity reaching the
consumers is even lower as 27.9 lpcd due to high Unaccounted Water Flow (UWF) of 15,000 litres per day.
Thus, the water supply system in the town requires augmentation schemes on urgent basis.

low
Both the existing OHTs are not functional due to leakage problem
About 15,000 litres of water remains unaccounted leading to distribution loss of 25% of the total
supply
There is lack of technical/ skilled man power to handle the system
The distribution system has limited coverage. As the pipelines are mainly laid along the major roads,
is a major constraint in distributing water to the end user in internal areas
There is a large scale demand and supply gap, which is likely to increase drastically in future with
respect to increase in population if no measures are taken to augment the water supply system
Page 57
Per capita supply is low (27.9 lpcd) against the standard norm of 135 lpcd
Though the tapped water facility has coverage of about 48% in the town, t out of total households,
only 33.2% houses have tapped water facility within premises. This indicates that majority of
households draw water from community stand post, hand pumps, wells and other means
The tariff collection efficiency of water charges is low.

Goals and Service Outcomes
Considering the above issues and challenges, the following goals for different horizon years have been
identified in the following table. The water supply coverage and access to piped water supply in Govindgarh
Nagar Parishad needs to be enhanced to 100% by the year 2035. The per capita water supply should be
maintained as per the norm of 135 lpcd at an acceptable level by increasing hours of supply to 4-6 hours a
day by 2015, 8-10 hours daily by 2025 and subsequently achieve 24 hours water supply/day by 2035
promoting together the water storage facility at household level. There is an urgent need to lower the nonrevenue to 25% by the year 2015, 15% by 2025 and 10% by 2035 by implementing 100% consumer metering
system by 2015 and achieve 100% O & M cost recovery by the year 2035.

Macau Water Supply Concession, China
Macau Water Supply Concession (MWSC)

Background:
Macau, China has a total area of just under 21 square kilometres, which includes the Macau peninsular and
the islands of Taipa and Coloane. It is situated on the western edge of the delta formed by the Pearl River
Delta (Zhu Jiang) and the West River (Xi Jiang).
By the early 1980s, Macau, Chinas water supply had deteriorated to the extent that:
Unaccounted-for-water was at high levels and the water utility was operating at a loss.
Water quality was extremely poor with high salinity and turbidity. This was due to the poor quality of the raw
water drawn from the eastern tributary of the Pearl River, a treatment plant working at overload capacity and
Page 59

a lack of scientific management and technology.
In 1982, Water supply in Macau, China has had Private Sector Participation. A private company took over the
operations of the Macau Water Supply Company, commonly known as Sociedad de Abastecimento de Aguas
de Macau (SAAM), in 1982. It initiated to work as replacing meters to increase income. The company also put
in place to improve utilitys management and financial systems. The basic idea behind the replacement of
water meters was to reduce the unaccounted-for-water from 40.3 percent in 1982 to 24.5 percent in 1984.
Key Activities Undertaken:
In addition to securing a new source of raw water, the concessionaire has undertaken an on-going program of
investments. These include:
Upgrading and extending water treatment plants.
Replacement of major pipelines.
Reservoir construction and post-chlorination stations.
Leakage detection activities and related investments.
Introduction of a computerized Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
Introduction of an automated water production control system.
On-going upgrading or replacement of meters.
Out Comes:
Within three years of signing the concession contract, Macau, Chinas water quality was brought up to the
European Union standard.
Macau, China citizens now receive consistently good quality potable water at a pressure and output that
meets all customers needs 24 hours. Designed water treatment capacity now exceeds maximum daily
demand by over 20 percent.
Unaccounted-for-water from leakages has also declined. The program of meter installation and repair
instigated by New World prior to the concession led to a dramatic reduction in unaccounted-for-water from
40.3 percent in 1982 to 20.2 percent when the concession commenced in 1985.
Lesson Learned:
Public private partnership now playing a key role in the success of many infrastructural projects.
There is a positive two-way interaction or relationship between water supply improvements and economic
growth. A good quality water supply encourages, or at least facilitates growth in economic activity.
The existence of a new high quality and abundant source of raw water helped contribute to Macau, Chinas
water supply achievements.
Public Private Partnership in water supply in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu
Public Private Partnership in water supply in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu (India)

The Context:
State Government has implemented the project on a commercial format on Public Private Partnership basis
along with IL&FS. AnMoU was signed between GoTN, IL&FS and Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) in
Page 60

August 1994, for formulation and development of the project and its implementation.
The project was the first integrated water supply proposed to be undertaken in India in the water sector on
PPP basis.
The scope of the project (the Project) covers the water and wastewater treatment components. The
project also includes provision of low cost sanitation facilities at 100 slums in Tirupur
Shortage of water supply and inadequate infrastructure for collection, treatment and disposal of industrial /
domestic wastewater were the major bottlenecks for the growth of the industries.
Achievements:
Formation of the NTADCL (New Tirupur Area Development Corporation Ltd.) upfront in the process served
as the platform for information exchange, resolution of conflicts and facilitated decision-making in a
transparent manner.
Innovative Insurance Application for Risk Mitigation
Improved Water Supply to Industries and Households
It is estimated that the project would also create employment for about 2 lakh people
Lesson Learned:
PPP has now playing a major role in infrastructural development projects.
A successful implementation of project needs an Innovative Financial Structuring & Insurance Application for
Risk Mitigation.
Note: Govindgarh can learn lessons from Khandwa and Dewas water supply PPP projects under
implementation. The Govindgarhs problem of quality of network can be a point of caution and other lessons
are documented and available with UADD Government of M.P.
Low Cost Water Treatment Plant

Water to be supplied for public use must be potable i.e., satisfactory for drinking purposes from the
standpoint of its chemical, physical and biological characteristics. Drinking water should, preferably, be
obtained from a source free from pollution. The raw water normally available from surface water sources is,
however, not directly suitable for drinking purposes. The objective of water treatment is to produce safe and
potable drinking water. Some of the common treatment processes used in the past include; Plain
sedimentation, Slow Sand filtration, Rapid Sand filtration with Coagulation-flocculation units as essential pretreatment units.
Rapid Sand Filtration

The rapid sand filter or rapid gravity filter is a type of filter used in water purification and is commonly used in
municipal drinking water facilities as part of a multiple-stage treatment system. Rapid sand filters were
widely used in small and large municipal water systems, because they required smaller land areas compared
to slow sand filters.
Rapid sand filters use relatively coarse sand and other granular media to remove particles and impurities that
have been trapped in a floc through the use of flocculation chemicals--typically salts of aluminium or iron.
Water and flocs flows through the filter medium under gravity or under pumped pressure and the flocculated
material are trapped in the sand matrix.
Page 61

Mixing, flocculation and sedimentation processes are typical treatment stages that precede filtration.
Chemical additives, such as coagulants, are often used in conjunction with the filtration system.
A disinfection system (typically using chlorine or ozone) is commonly used following filtration. Rapid sand
filtration has very little effect on taste and smell and dissolved impurities of drinking water, unless activated
carbon is included in the filter medium.

Sewerage and Sanitation
Existing Sewerage System

Sewerage and sanitation has become a yardstick of socio-cultural development of the nation. Improved
sanitation results in improvement of health, reduced child mortality/ morbidity, improved water quality,
environment and economic growth of any city/town.
Presently the town does not have underground sewerage system to serve a population of 10535 residing in
15 wards. The sewage from households and other commercial establishments flows along with storm water
in common open drains, which is mainly governed by the topography and direction of slope in town.
Means of Sewage Disposal

Sewerage and sanitation condition in the town is poor. The sewage disposal system in the town mainly
consists of individual disposal system that includes water closet, soak pits or pit type latrines and open
drains. Some residents also go for open defecation as they do not have any proper in-house sewage disposal
facility. Residents in old areas use dry-type latrines. New developments have individual septic tanks for
sewage disposal. The pour flush latrines and toilets blocks are usually connected to a septic tank and then
connected to drains or nallah.
Page 63

Therefore, the current practice indicates that the sewage flows through open channel, nallah in town and
disposes into the Talab. This is a cause of concern as there is a possibility of contamination of underground,
well and Talab water.
Household Toilets (Dry Latrines and Flush Latrines)

Sanitation condition in the town is poor. As per the city sanitation survey conducted in 2008, only 30.79 %
households have water closet latrines connected to septic tank, 30.15 % pit toilet and 39.07 % have other
toilet facility. Majority of households do not have toilet facility within their premises.

Public Toilets
The Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is responsible for the provision of public toilets in town. But in Govindgarh
there is very little effort from the civic body in providing public toilets and public urinals. As on today there
are only 2 public toilets in ward number 10 and 12 which are functioning but not in good condition. Public
toilets are very much required in the town.
As per the city sanitation survey conducted in 2008, mostly people (about 81% of households) demand for
individual toilets but only about 20% of households are willing to pay for development and operation and
41% for maintenance of toilet and urinal services.

On the basis of projected population for 2035 and taking 80% of water supply to come back as sewage, the
present and future demand and supply gaps for various components of Sewerage and Sanitation Sector has
been worked out for Govindgarh town in the table given below.

As there is complete absence of underground Sewerage Network, the sewage flows through open drains
which ultimately flow into the existing water bodies i.e. Raja Talab & Rani Talab. There is no form of
treatment before or after disposal. Only 25 % percent of households commonly use septic tanks or pits for
sewage disposal while the rest do not have in-house toilet facilities. They either use public toilet or go for
open defecation in town. Thus, the town requires immediate action regarding provision of sewerage and
sanitation facility (Low Cost Sanitation Projects) with 100% network coverage.
Comparative Analysis with the UDPFI, CPHEEO Guidelines

As per CPHEEO manual and UDPFI guidelines wastewater generation of 80% of the water supply rate i.e. 108
lpcd has been adopted.
UDPFI guidelines suggest small and medium towns may be encouraged for adopting low cost sanitation
technologies with technical assistance from urban local bodies and involvement of NGOs in actual
implementation of such programmes. Low cost sanitation projects can be encouraged in Govindgarh as there
is no underground sewerage network and majority of households do not have in-house toilet facility. In this
context, provision for sewerage network and low cost sanitation has been made in the City Investment Plan.

The pour flush latrines and toilet blocks are usually connected to a septic tank and then connected to
drains, channels or nallas ultimately falling into the Talab causing contamination of the main sources
of water supply
There is no form of treatment before or after disposal
Town lacks public conveniences/ sanitation facilities such as - community or public toilet which are
limited in number
The service level cost recovery is going to be the major challenge for GNP as most of the households
are not willing to pay for development and maintenance of facilities
Widespread practice of open defecation as about 84% of households does not have in-house toilet
facility.
Page 66

City Specific Strategies and Action Plans
Considering the above issues and challenges, the following goals for different horizon years have been
identified in the following table. The sewerage system in town needs to develop with 60% sewer network
coverage to households by the year 2015 and 100% by 2025. By the year 2015, 80% waste water should be
treated followed by 100% by 2025. In addition to that, 60-70% O & M cost recovery will be achieved by the
year 2015 followed by 80-90% by 2025 and 100% by the year 2035.

Considering the current issues, challenges and identified goals, a robust strategy for sewerage is adopted to
achieve 100% sewerage system. The following is the brief outline of the projects which have to be taken up:
1. Low Cost Sanitation Projects:
Exploring the USAB Technology which requires less land and O&M Costs are minimal
Government intervention should be emphasized in providing toilet facilities in urban poor
areas by developing community toilet blocks
Sulabh Complex or public toilets near market places, bus stands and other such public areas
Community participation should be encouraged for design, construction and maintenance of
public toilets
Cost recovery through collection of well defined user charges.
2. Intercept all drains that flow in-to the Talab; including the water front development & plantation
on flood zone. (both sides of the Nala)
3. Comprehensive Sewerage Master Plan:
To meet the current gap and future requirements for Govindgarh town, it is proposed to carry
out detailed studies and prepare a comprehensive Sewerage Master Plan including network
lines and STP.
4. Sewerage Quality Studies and Monitoring:
Page 67
The sewerage quality analysis needs to be undertaken. It is proposed to purchase latest

equipments to establish laboratories for analysis of chemical and heavy metals.
5. Human Resource Development:

Widespread investment in the sewerage sector without sufficient attention to human resource
development results in poor sustainability of system. Recognizing the urgent need for capacity
building at different levels in sewerage sector, it is proposed to develop human resource in
their organization.

Presently there is no sewage disposal system in the city. The in-house sanitation is about 30% for the city and
is limited to many users. Therefore efforts should be made to have 100 percent coverage on the sewerage
sector to minimize the sanitation problem of the city. In this regard, the following projects have been
identified:

Box:6.2.1: Slum Sanitation in Pune
Background:
Pune city, the educational and cultural capital of the State of
Maharashtra has a population of 28 lakhs, of whom about 40% live
in slums. There are 503 slum pockets, out of which only 348 are
notified slums in the city. Pune Municipal Corporation has
Conservancy Department the duty of which is to clean and
maintain toilet blocks in the city. But, as in other cities, the
municipal staffs are not performing their duties including
construction and maintenance of toilets and city sanitation. Since
the local community does not have any control over the sanitation
staff, the latter do not respond to their concerns.
Since 1992, only 22 pay and use toilet blocks had been built in the
city. In 1992, Municipal Commissioner himself took initiatives and a massive programme of building toilets
in slums through community participation by giving contracts to non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
was started. There were 8 NGOs which were selected to carry out the first phase of the programme. First
priority was given to those settlements with a minimum population of 500 but had no toilet facilities.
Key Components of the Project:
Construction: The Slum Sanitation Program was implemented in phased manner which are as follows;
Phase-1 (1999-2000): In the first phase, it was decided to construct 220 toilet blocks with about 3500 toilet
seats through NGOs. The expenditure incurred on the first phase was Rs.22.5 crores.
Phase-11 (2000 -2001): On completion of the second phase (planned for another 220 blocks between),
more than 400 blocks or more than 10,000 toilet seats was supposed to be constructed at a cost of more
than Rs.40 crores and benefiting more than 5 lakh slum dwellers.
Maintenance: In the bid itself, a guarantee was also to be given that the NGOs and the community would
maintain the toilet block for 30 years by collecting contributions from the community. The programme
envisaged the collection of Rs.20 per family per month to fund the appointment of a caretaker and for
cleaning materials. The caretaker is to be accountable to the community and is supervised by them.
Implementation: During construction, the Municipal Commissioner was himself holding a weekly meeting
to monitor the progress of the work with the highest priority and, as a result, people worked day and night
to complete the programme in a few months.
Lesson Learned: Slum dwellers are not expected to pay anything at all when they use the toilets, they are
expected to pay a general tax for the facilities they are given. However, even if public sanitation is free, it is
not of much use because it is hardly functional.
The relationship between the Corporation, NGOs and communities has been reconfigured. NGOs and
communities are not cast in the roles of clients or supplicants but rather are treated as partners by the
Corporation.
When grassroots democracy is in place, the accountability of institutions is ensured.
Low Cost Waste Water Treatment Options

Municipal wastewater refers to wastewater that is discarded from households. Also referred to as sanitary
sewage, such water contains a wide variety of dissolved and suspended impurities. It amounts to a very small
fraction of the wastewater by weight. But, it is large by volume and contains impurities such as organic
materials and plant nutrients that tend to rot. The main organic materials are food and vegetable waste,
human waste, plant nutrient, organic waste from soaps, washing powders, etc.
Page 69

To treat and reuse the waste water has become imperative in the current scenario of scarcity of water in
coming future due to increase in demand with development and decreasing ground water recharge due to
reclaiming of the pond and low lying areas of the town.
Conventional sewage treatment may involve three stages, called primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.
Primary treatment consists of temporarily holding the sewage in a basin where heavy solids can settle to the
bottom while oil, grease and lighter solids float to the surface. The settled and floating materials are removed
and the remaining liquid may be discharged or subjected to secondary treatment.
Secondary treatment removes dissolved and suspended biological matter. Secondary treatment is typically
performed by indigenous, water-borne micro-organisms in a managed habitat. Secondary treatment may
require a separation process to remove the micro-organisms from the treated water prior to discharge or
tertiary treatment.
Tertiary treatment is sometimes defined as anything more than primary and secondary treatment. Treated
water is sometimes disinfected chemically or physically prior to discharge into a stream, river, bay or
wetland, or it can be used for the irrigation of street side vegetation, a golf course, green way or park. If it is
sufficiently clean, it can also be used for groundwater recharge or agricultural purposes.
Root Zone Treatment System
Root Zone Systems are artificially prepared wetlands comprising of clay or plastic lined excavation and
emergent vegetation growing on gravel/sand mixtures and is also known as constructed wetland. This
method combines mechanical filtration, chemical precipitation and biological degradation in one step for the
treatment of wastewater. A number of factors like low operating cost, less energy requirement and ease of
maintenance attribute to making root zone system an attractive alternative for wastewater management.
The Process:
The process in a root zone system to treat the sewage begins with passing the raw effluent (after removing
grit or floating material) horizontally or vertically through a bed of soil having impervious bottom. The
effluent percolates through the bed that has all the roots of the wetland plants spread very thickly, nearly
2,500 types of bacteria and 10,000 types of Fungi, which harbour around roots, get oxygen from the weak
membranes of the roots and aerobically oxidize the organic matter of the effluent. The characteristics of
plants of absorbing oxygen through their leaves and passing it down to roots through their stems which are
hollow, is utilized as a bio-pump. Away from the roots, anaerobic digestion also takes place. The filtering
action of the soil bed, the action with fungi etc. and chemical action with certain existing or added inorganic
chemicals help in finally obtaining very clear and clean water. The system of plants regenerates itself as the
old plants die and form useful humus. Hence, the system becomes maintenance free and can run up to 50 to
60 years without any loss of efficiency.
Page 70
Advantages:
With no use of machinery and associated maintenance, the root zone system provides for low
maintenance cost and negligible attendance for operation and monitoring
It enhances the landscape and gives the site a green appeal
It provides natural habitat for birds and after a few years gives an appearance of a Bird sanctuary.
It is a green zone, it does not have mosquito problem
Salinity may not be a problem for a survival or operations of reed beds
It is recommended to combine vertical flow and then horizontal flow of sewage with a soil having
impervious bottom
In the horizontal flow system, the sewage percolates through bed and that has all roots of the
wetland plants spread very thickly nearly with 2500 types of bacteria and 10,000 types of fungi and
aerobically oxidized organic matter of the effluent
Root zone system gives a very good performance of removing 90% BOD and 63% Nitrogen.
The Root Zone Treatment system (RZTS) also known as the reed bed system or constructed wetland system is
a sealed filter bed consisting of a sand / gravel/ soil system, occasionally with a cohesive element, planted
with vegetation that can grow in wetlands. After removal of coarse and floating material, the wastewater
passes through the filter bed where biodegradation of the wastewater takes place. The functional
mechanisms in the soil matrix that are responsible for the mineralization of biodegradable matter are
characterized by complex physical, chemical and biological processes, which result from the combined effects
of the filter bed material, wetland plants, micro-organisms and wastewater.
The treatment processes are based essentially on the activity of microorganisms present in the soil. The
oxygen for microbial mineralization of organic substances is supplied through the roots of the plants,
atmospheric diffusion and in case of intermittent wastewater feeding, through suction into soil by the outflowing wastewater. RZTS contain aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic zones. This causes the presence of a large
number of different strains of microorganisms and consequently a large variety of biochemical pathways are
formed. This explains the high efficiency of biodegradation of substances that are difficult to treat.
Conversion of nitrogen compounds (nitrification / De-nitrification) occurs due to planned flow of wastewater
through anaerobic and aerobic zones. Reduction of phosphorous depends on the availability of acceptors
like iron compounds and the redox potential in the soil. The filtration by percolation through the bed
Page 71

material is the reason for the very efficient reduction of pathogens, depending on the size of grain of the bed
material and thickness of filter, making the treated effluent suitable for reuse. It should be noted that no
other treatment system, without the use of additional chemicals or physical processes, can ensure the
extensive elimination of pathogenic germs.
Root Zone Treatment systems have the following salient features:
Require simple construction methods

No machinery (pumps, aerators, etc.) and no inputs of energy or chemicals are required for the
treatment process
In the root zone treatment process no sludge is generated, therefore the sludge handling and
disposal problem is restricted only to primary sludge-this is a unique and remarkable feature of
RZTSs
Can accommodate significant variations in hydraulic and pollution loads without significant loss of
efficiency
Can handle a large variety of pollutants
Does not require skilled personnel for operation maintenance
Low operation and maintenance costs; typically in root zone systems; these are less than 1% of the
cost of the system per year
Can be built to suit both decentralized and centralized sewage treatment systems; in decentralized
situations considerable drainage costs may be saved
Can be easily and cost-effectively expanded to accommodate increased loads
High efficiency in removal of pathogens; no other treatment system, without the use of additional
chemicals or physical processes can ensure the extensive elimination of pathogenic germs
Allows re-cycling and safe re-use of waste water
Conversion of wastes into re-usable high quality plant biomass (reeds)
Capital costs comparable to other similar wastewater treatment systems
Long life span of systems
Large re-use of materials when system is decommissioned.
Thus root zone systems are not only eco-friendly but have low operational costs, producing high water
quality (up to bathing water standards) suitable for re-use. These features make RZT systems low-cost,
environment-friendly, and reliable in both the short and long term.

DEWATS: Decentralized Wastewater Treatment
Figure: 6-6 Main DEWATS modules for physical and biological wastewater treatment
DEWATS stands for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems and represents a technical approach
rather than merely a technology package.
DEWATS applications are designed to be low-maintenance: most important parts of the system work without
technical energy inputs and cannot be switched off intentionally.
DEWATS applications provide state-of-the-art technology at affordable prices because all of the materials
used for construction are locally available.
DEWATS applications provide treatment for both domestic and industrial sources
Systems can be designed to handle organic wastewater flows from 1-1000 m3 per day
Systems are built to be reliable, long lasting and tolerant towards fluctuations in loads
DEWATS applications do not require sophisticated maintenance
Without considering facilities for necessary chemical pre-treatment of wastewater from industries, DEWATS
applications are designed with four basic technical treatment modules which are combined and configured to
provide a custom solution for a given sanitation/wastewater challenge:
Primary treatment: sedimentation and floatation

Secondary anaerobic treatment in fixed-bed reactors: baffled upstream reactors or anaerobic filters
Tertiary aerobic treatment in sub-surface flow filters
Tertiary aerobic treatment in polishing ponds
DEWATS applications are designed and dimensioned in such a way that treated water meets requirements
stipulated in environmental laws and regulations.
Advantages of DEWATS technology:
Provides treatment for domestic and industrial wastewater

Low initial investment costs as no imported materials or components are needed
Efficient treatment for daily wastewater flows of up to 1000m3
Modular design of all components
Page 73
Tolerant towards inflow fluctuations

Reliable and long-lasting construction design
Low maintenance costs
DEWATS technology is an effective, efficient and affordable wastewater treatment solution for small and
medium sized towns. At locality level, this system is very efficient.

Existing Drainage System

Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area. At present the
town does not have a comprehensive and effective drainage system and facility of treatment plant. Along the
SH 9, 52 and other major roads of the town, drains have been constructed in all wards. The drainage
Page 74

condition survey in the town indicates that the drainage network in Govindgarh is open and unorganized.
Most of the drains do not have capacity to flow the waste water as they are damaged and remain chocked
due to presence of gray matter and disposal of solid waste in it. This leads to un-channelized flow during the
rainy season.
In ward 10 and 15, the waste water from adjoining area spills over the road and creates unhygienic
conditions. The situation is further aggravated in the town due to lack of sewerage system resulting in
sewage flow in the storm water drains which finally get discharged into the Raja Talab and in agricultural
lands.
Figure 6.8: Drainage System in Govindgarh
Page 75

At present GNP is responsible for operation and maintenance of drainage system in the town. Major portions
of these drains require de-silting and repairs.
Map 6.2: Existing and Proposed Drainage Map Govindgarh
Major Water Bodies

Raja Talab (lake) is the only major water body in the town and has perennial storage of good quality water.
Apart from the river, there are two nallahs.
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Drains

The Rani Talab which is actually is in the form of nallah, flows in east-west direction and another small nallah
flows from south to north in the southern part of town. Together they act as primary drains which ultimately
fall into Raja Talab from east to west side respectively. The primary drains are mainly kutcha drains collecting
the waste water from houses throughout the town through secondary and tertiary drains and disposing into
major water body i.e. Raja Talab.

Flood-Prone Areas
As the Raja Talab and Rani Talab are located in the southern part of the town and the storm water from the
city and hilly area also flows in these Talab, all the low lying areas in ward nos. 10, 11, 12,13, 14 and 15 in the
southern side of the town Govindgarh are major flood prone areas of town.
Flooding in Catchment Area of Major Nallahs

In the catchment areas of these nallahs, due to lack of sewerage system most of the sewage flows into the
storm water drains. This, together with damaged and chocked drains due to the presence of gray water and
solid waste disposal, leads to un-channelized flow during the rainy season. Thus, the whole town faces
problem of flooding and spill over of waste water during the monsoon season causing various diseases.

Construction of new drains and converting the open ones to closed type.

There are no particular quantitative features in the standards laid out in UDPFI guidelines. But generally, the
storm water drainage should be laid along the road to carry the surface run off and maximum pucca nallahs
should be there for drainage purpose.

Issues
Less capital investment

Lack of a comprehensive and effective drainage system and facility of treatment plant
Secondary and tertiary drains are linked with primary drains i.e. nallahs causing mixing of waste
water including sewage directly with the lake water. This further aggravates the problem of pollution
of a potential source of water supply to town
Disposal of solid waste in drains has reduced the flow capacity of drains
Damaged and chocked drains lead to problem of flooding and over-spilling in internal areas and in
low lying areas of towns.

To enhance the coverage of storm water drains, following goals have been identified for different horizon
years.

In order to address the above discussed issues and achieve the desired outcomes in each of the components
of drainage system, strategies for improvement are elaborated below:
1. Preparation of Master Plan/ Detailed Project Report:
The drains are inadequate to carry the waste water as they are not systematically designed and are
damaged in some sections. A significant reduction in depth and width are noticed due to
encroachments. To overcome the situation with 100% Storm Water Drainage Network in town it is
proposed that GNP should prepare a Master Plan/ Detailed Project Report (DPR) for development of 100%
Storm Water Drainage Network as per the standards by
o Laying new pucca drainage network in all wards where no drainage is available all
along the roads
o Providing drainage system in flood prone areas
o Widening & deepening of existing drains of town
Page 78
This will also ensure Institutional strengthening and human resources development leading
to overall capacity building including assets required for the operation and maintenance of
drains.
2. Drains Rehabilitation and Improvement Programme: The programme would aim at the following to
channelize the flow and minimize the localized flooding and over-spilling:
Regular Cleaning of Drains removal of garbage and gray matter to ensure natural flow of
drains
De-silting, lining and repair of drains
Removal of encroachment along drains
Educating people for minimization of sewage and domestic waste discharge into drains
Construction of side walls to confirm to uniform cross-section in built up areas.
3. Rehabilitation of Primary Nallah/ Drains and Water Bodies:
Trapping of nallahs
Converting the Kutcha Nallahs to pucca one by lining and constructing side walls
Regular Cleaning of Drains desilting and removal of garbage and gray matter to ensure
natural flow of nallahs
Protection of environmental resources such as - open spaces, water bodies i.e. Raja Talab
should be carried out in co-ordinated way.

Presently the coverage of the storm water drainage is poor in the city. So the following projects have been
identified to minimize the adverse effect of the inadequate drainage system of the city.

Solid Waste Management
Solid Waste Generation

The total quantity of solid waste generated in Govindgarh town is approximately 0.74 MT per day. This works
out to 70 grams per capita per day, which is relatively less than the standards considered in CPHEEO Manual
for small towns of 250 gm per capita per day. This is because of town basic character which is in transitional
phase of rural to semi-urban.
Page 79

At present in the absence of any incineration unit, waste from medical/healthcare establishments are either
mixed with municipal waste or indiscriminately dumped.

Constituent of Municipal Waste

There is no information available on constitution of municipal solid waste as such from GNP. But after
discussions with officials of GNP it was perceived that waste generated in town includes - vegetable and fruit
market waste, paper, polythene, packing materials, glass, metal iron scrap; aluminium scrap, domestic
animal excreta and ash from domestic Chula indicating that most of the quantity of waste generated is
organic in nature and comes from residential and commercial uses.
Current Practice of Solid Waste Management

Primary and Secondary Collection
Presently there is no Door-to-Door solid waste collection system from the individual households and other
establishments as primary collection.
The collection efficiency of these wastes is very low. Municipal wastes from core areas of town including
commercial & wholesale vegetable Mandi gets collected either on a daily basis or once in 2 days, while in
peripheral areas once in a week depending on situation.
There is no area or site designated for disposal of municipal waste. Waste collected from the all the sources
whether it is domestic, commercial or institutional is dumped at various illegal dumping sites in low-lying
areas. The dumping site at present is the end of the Sindhi Road, outside Nagar Parishad Boundary.
Page 80

Figure 6.9: Drainage System in Govindgarh
Dustbins in the town
Dumping along the roads
Collection and conveyance of Solid

waste
Waste Storage and Segregation

Presently municipal waste is being collected from all the 15 of wards, but none of these wards have Door-toDoor collection and waste generation practices. Segregation of waste, both at sources level (primary
collection) and at secondary level is not in practice. For the storage of waste dustbins are provided at some
places.
There are 7 waste collection bins placed by GNP at some locations in the town. Waste generated from all the
sources is disposed mainly in open spaces along the road side together with dirt and sludge from street
sweeping and drainage cleaning throughout the town except in some areas.
Primary collection system is necessary to ensure that waste stored and segregated at source is collected
regularly and it is not disposed on the streets, drains, water bodies etc. However, the latter step has to
synchronize well with the first step i.e. storage of waste at source.
Processing and Disposal

There is no prevailing mechanism in the town for processing or disposal of waste. As the wastes not
segregated, there is no processing of the collected wastes. There is no provision of incineration facilities for
hospital wastes. There is no area or site designated for scientific disposal of Municipal Solid Waste. All types
of wastes whether it is hospital waste or household waste are disposed or dumped all together at various
illegal dumping sites in low-lying areas along the river side near the old bridge and in the outskirts of the
town.
Reuse and Recycling

Basically metals and plastics are collected by the slum dwellers, which provide a source of income for them. It
is further marketed by scrap dealers.
Vehicles for Solid Waste Collection and Transportation

For proper solid waste management, suitable equipment in sufficient number is necessary for handling,
lifting, and transportation. Loading and unloading of municipal solid waste is done manually and waste is
transported through thela or tricycle pulled by sanitary workers. GNP also has one tractor with a trolley.
However, in general, GNP is not properly equipped with solid waste handling and transportation equipments.
The equipment available with GNP for S.W.M in town is listed below:

Estimation of Waste Collection

Since the GNP is not properly equipped with latest solid waste handling and transporting equipments, the
waste is collected and transported manually through hand-pulled cart and tricycles. Therefore, the waste
collection efficiency is very low. (As per the discussions with officials of GNP and based on the strength of
sanitary workers and equipment available to them.)

On the basis of waste generated by per capita per day, the projected waste generation by 2035 has been
worked out to be 3.47 MT/Day. As stated earlier, at present the total waste generation in town is about 0.74
MT/Day with a rate of 70 grams per capita per day. Out of this total waste only 25% (0.66 MT/Day) of waste
is being collected creating a gap of 0.55 MT/Day in collection. As such, the waste treatment facility must be
put in place to handle the large volume of waste disposal.

*Present Situation of town

As per the data provided by the GNP, the total waste generation in the town is about 0.74 MT/Day. This
works out to 70 grams per capita per day, which is relatively less than the standards considered in CPHEEO
Manual for small towns of 250 gm per capita per day. This is because the town is in transitional phase of rural
to semi-urban. The following table provides the comparative analysis with UDPFI and CPHEEO guidelines:

Training and capacity building.
Issues
1. Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is not in compliance with MSW handling rules, 2000
Town has not adopted Door-to-Door Collection system and segregation of wastes at source level.
Lack of dhallaos and bins for storage of waste at primary level. Limited numbers of bins have been
provided at some places.
Inadequacy of man-power and modest equipments (including vehicle for transportation) with GNP
for Solid Waste Management from collection to its final disposal.
At present town does not have any designated sanitary land fill site as per the normative standard.
Page 83

2. GNP has not conducted any study in the town for determining the composition and characteristics of the
solid waste.
3. Collection efficiency is very low.
4. Lack of capital/funds with GNP for the development of SWM facilities.
5. Waste collected by sanitary worker is being disposed of in low lying areas of the town including Talab
leading to contamination or pollution of Talab water which is one of the major sources of water for the
town.

The local body should effectively involve the private sector in delivering solid waste management services.
The rationale for private sector participation includes attracting project funding, new technology, cost saving
and service delivery improvements.

In order to achieve the above outcomes, and to address the above discussed issues in each of the solid waste
management components, strategies for improvement are elaborated below:
1. Segregation of Waste at Source:
Highest priority has to be accorded to storage and segregation of waste at source irrespective
of the area of generation so as to facilitate an organized and environmentally acceptable waste
management measure
A number of campaigns/ community awareness programmes should be organized for
introducing segregation of wastes at sources
Segregation of hazardous wastes like bio-medical waste, bio degradable waste etc.
2. Primary Collection of Waste: The following measures have been recommended for improving the
primary collection practices of Govindgarh.
Page 84
Phased implementation of Door-to-Door collection system through community organizations on

PPP basis by mobilizing, facilitating, organizing and supporting community activities with the
help of local NGOs
Encourage performance based incentives to enhance efficiency and output
Installation of Community Storage Bins in all areas where house-to-house collection cannot be
implemented
Voluntary Garbage Disposal Scheme should be introduced for restaurants/ hotels and
commercial establishments
Placement of containers or bins in sufficient number and of appropriate size at markets for
ensuring that all the vendors place the waste in containers
Bio-medical wastes and other hazardous wastes to be segregated and collected from municipal
solid wastes for separate incineration as per the guidelines of Ministry of Environment and
Forest 1998 and 1989 respectively.
Cost recovery through collection of well defined user charges.
Manual waste handling operation should be minimized. Primary collection system should be
initiated by introducing Multi-bin-carts (Push carts/ tricycles), semi mechanized systems like refuse
collectors etc. Separate collection vehicles should collect the non-bio-degradable waste stored in
separate bins. Thus, Primary collection should cover all areas of the town with even innovative but
safe transporting arrangements as per the MSW handling rules 2000.
3. Secondary Waste Collection and Transportation: At present, the GNP has inadequate number of
sanitary workers and equipments for loading, unloading and transportation vehicles (including bins)
for secondary collection and transportation of wastes. Therefore, it is recommended that GNP should involve private sector participation in secondary collection, transportation and
treatment of MSW facilities
GNP should purchase sufficient number of modest equipments including vehicles - such as
loader, un-loader, hydraulic closed truck/waste carrier for transportation and disposal of waste
Construction or demolition wastes / debris to be separately collected and disposed off in
separate landfill site for future use
GNP should prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Municipal Solid Waste Management for
the town, ensuring the quantity and quality of required modest equipments, techniques and
vehicles for collecting, processing and transporting MSW. This will also ensure Institutional
strengthening and human resources development leading to overall capacity building.
4. Processing and Disposal: The characteristics and quality of solid waste generated in the city primarily
influence the disposal options. Considering these aspects, it is recommended to develop a landfill site
for safe disposal of solid waste. The disposal strategy for Govindgarh town for short term at town
level will be Compost the organic fraction of the waste
Encourage aerobic vermin-composting at local level
Sanitary land filling of inorganic fraction of waste and the compost rejects
Educating the community on 4R strategy (Reuse, Recover, Recycle and Reduce) that can help
ease pressure on compost sites and affords resource recovery.
For the long term, it is further proposed that Govindgarh Nagar Parishad should co-ordinate with the
State Government for clustering in regional engineered landfill site for waste disposal involving
other neighbouring ULBs. This also ensures the scale and viability to the private partnership mode.

Box: Solid waste Management in Surat
Background:
Surat city is largely recognized for its textile and diamond businesses. It
is also known for a complete transformation from one of the filthiest
cities to one of the cleanest cities in the country. In September 1994,
the city faced an unprecedented crisis when the killer disease PLAGUE
broke out in the city. However, in May 1995, a new programme was
launched by Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) to clean the city
through waste management. The programme created an enormous
impact on the cleanliness, which resulted in a significant improvement
in the health status and quality of living environment, so much so that
Surats image was transformed from one of the filthiest to the second
cleanest city in the country.
Key Components of the program
The SMC adopted multi-pronged strategies to achieve the programme goals, include:
Streamlining of functional, administrative, financial and technological aspects within SMC

Awareness creation and capacity building of the municipal staff and city population, especially weaker
section
Inviting private sector participation in garbage management
Introduction of a very well orchestrated garbage removal and disposal schedule
Educating the public and issuing of instruction for the correct way of garbage disposal.

Involving Private sector on a temporary basis during the plague epidemic to cleanse the filth and remove
dead carcasses accumulated in the water-logged areas. It was also strengthened and regulated in the postplague period in (i) hiring of private vehicles with driver for garbage collection, ii) contracting-out cleaning
of certain roads and iii) employing private sweepers for transporting municipal refuse from collection
points to disposal sites.
Private contractors, at present, handle almost 40 per cent of the solid waste generated in the city every
day. However, private contractors work under strict supervision of the municipal staff and penalties are
imposed on them for not performing their assigned work.
Enforcing Sanitation standard
The SMC started to enforce strict hygiene and sanitation standards in eating houses, sweetshops, fruit, and
vegetable shops.
Levy of fines for littering of the public places was instituted. Under this system, the grievances were
categorized. For ensuring feedback, a Reply Card system has been introduced.
A Public Health Mapping exercise was initiated in 1995 by the city government, with a major focus on
preventive and primitive health care.
Streamlining the function of the SMC
The administrative setup for solid waste management was modified and the six zones were sub-divided
into 52 sanitary districts for better waste collection efficiency.
A daily monitoring system was introduced. At the macro-level, the entire administrative and financial
management system of Surat Municipal Corporation was revamped.
Page 86

A network of about 274 surveillance centres, 90 percent of which are located in slums. This network
includes two municipal hospitals, health centres, major private hospitals and private medical practitioner.
Impact
The programme has created tangible impact on cleanliness, living environment and awareness level
leading to significant improvement in the mortality and morbidity. A partnership approach between public
and private sector, citizens and community is slowly emerging.
Lesson Learned:
Decentralize governance can play a vital role for the decision making and good governance.
Micro- planning is a very necessary tool for the plan implementation.
Public support facilitates innovations in urban environment management.
Political will is extremely important for successful public policy changes.
Media support plays a dominant role in the creation of public awareness and acceptance of change.

Presently there is lack of infrastructure and capital cost for solid waste management in the city. So the
following projects have been identified to achieve the future goals for solid waste management in the city:

Traffic and Transportation
Background
Urban economy is seen to improve with urban transport infrastructure. Roads and circulation is an important
city land-use allowing efficient function of any city or towns activities. Conversely, it can drag down and
prove detrimental to its GDP. The objective of studying town level transportation is to understand and
analyze the present level travel scenario of the town and to focus on existing potential and scope of
development.
Existing
Scenario
Traffic
and
Transportation
Traffic on the roads has been one of the key

transportation problems of any growing town or
city. Investigation into the existing traffic
scenario of the town provides insights on how
well the local government (Govindgarh Nagar
Parishad) and other agencies (PWD and NHAI)
are coping with and managing the growing
population and increased economic activities.
The town can be reached by bus, jeep and autoFigure 6-3 A view of the bus in Govindgarh passengers
rickshaw. The frequency of bus plying on the
boarding on the road
road adjoining the town is about half an hour.
People prefer to go there by jeep/commander
and auto-rickshaw whose frequency of plying is around 10-15 minutes.
There is no direct railways connectivity to the town and the nearest railway station is in the district
headquarter which is Rewa around 20 km through SH 9.
The following table gives the destinations, mode of transport and number of vehicles plying daily to and fro
and through Govindgarh.

As the town is small there is no major traffic and transportation problem but for future it is advisable to plan
better and more efficient traffic junctions and bus and auto-rickshaw stands.
Page 88

Vehicle Population
Most of the vehicles are buses, tractors, scooters, jeeps and cars. The estimated number of vehicles is: 4000
cycles, 600-700 two wheelers, 10-15 cars, 20-25 trucks, 40 jeeps, 20 auto-rickshaws and 30-35 hand- pulled
carts.
The traffic system is regulated under the Rewa District Office of Madhya Pradesh Transport Department.
Whole traffic and transportation can be divided into two categories - inter-city and intra-city based on the
influence of area.
The inter city public transport system for the town can be categorized into two parts i.e. State
Carriage and Private Carriage. State carriage includes buses by the State Government with fixed
routes and fare. The Private Carriage in under purely private domain and includes buses, jeeps,
matadors etc. operated by private operators.
At present there is no intra city public transport system in Govindgarh. As the town is very small and
all the important places such as major commercial and market areas, bus stands, hospitals etc. are in
the vicinity, most of the local people generally use cycle, scooter, motorcycle and walking etc. as
mode of travel for short trips.
Travel Characteristics
The travel characteristic of a town generally depends on the social status of citizens, types and location of
economic activities which give rise to diverse traffic modes. The predominant mode of travel in town is
motorized vehicles such as two- wheeler (Scooter & Motorcycle) and private transport which includes three
Wheelers (20 nos.) and four wheelers (Jeeps, cars etc.)Which are about 20 in number as the town is semiurban in nature all the important place are in vicinity. Thus, only major working population uses their own
means of transport such as cycles, scooters, motorcycle, and cars etc. for their workplace and other places
for day to day needs. Rest of the population prefers to walk for various purposes.
Public Transport/Mass Transit

State-transport as well as privately owned buses runs throughout
Madhya Pradesh. Buses, jeeps and auto-rickshaws are available for
commuting from one city/town to the other town.
The town also has one bus stand which has a capacity of around 5
buses. Most of these buses run on daily basis. Private Jeeps and
auto-rickshaws apart from buses also offer services from one town
to the other of shorter distance.
The major working class population uses their own vehicles cycle,
scooter, motorcycle for commuting in the town. There are few
shared auto rickshaw and jeep etc. operated by private operators which caters to the population residing in
nearby villages. There is one taxi stand.
Traffic Management and Circulation

Planning for traffic and transportation in Govindgarh is under a number of agencies including Nagar Parishad,
PWD and NHAI. The Govindgarh Nagar Parishad is responsible for development and maintenance of street
network (City Roads), traffic management and circulation system, public transportation system, control of
IPT, development of parking spaces etc. This can be categorised into two types:
Page 89

1. State Highways: This category includes the SH 52 and 9 (accounting for 5.36 km of road length of
town) connecting Sidhi to Rewa and Satna.
2. City Road: This category includes all the local roads at ward level and main road. It falls under the
jurisdiction of Govindgarh Nagar Parishad.

Proper road width and spacing are important

for smooth traffic flow on the
roads. Unfortunately many of the important roads in the town have become so
narrow that they are unable to facilitate the increasing flow of vehicles. The
small stretch of the road within the town has some degree
Figure 6-4 A view of the encroachment along road
Page 90

of encroachment which hampers the smooth flow of the traffic in the town. The given figure will make the
ground realities for clear.

The overall condition of these existing roads is not good having ditches in many places with no proper
drainage, road furniture and signage for guidance of commuters. On the contrary, the electric poles situated
on both side of the roads at some places does not permit the traffic to use shoulders and further reduces
effective width of road.
At present both sides of the road is full of ribbon development. However, with increasing concentration of
activities in and around the core area of the town, pressure of traffic is increasing on all the major roads of
the town.
Furthermore, important centres such as Police Station, Educational Institutions, Nagar Parishad Office and
commercial establishments are located in the core area of the town which are the traffic generating centres
of the town since major administrative and commercial activities take place in this area.
Inter-City Bus Transport

The inter-city bus facility covers almost all the important centres within the district as well as other
surrounding districts. Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation provides transit services to the
passenger. It runs regular services intercity services and interstate services connecting to the neighbouring
states with fixed routes and fares. For smaller towns in Madhya Pradesh it differs in terms of the provider
and the type of facility or bus frequency available to the passengers.
The Private Carriage in under purely private domain and includes buses, jeeps, matadors etc. operated by
private operators.
Intermediate Public Transport

At present Govindgarh town has jeeps and auto-rickshaws as the Intermediate Public Transport System
(IPTs). As the town is very small all the important places such as major commercial and market areas, bus
stands, hospitals etc. are in the vicinity.
Most of the local people generally use cycle, scooter, motorcycle and walking etc. as mode of travel for short
trips or intra zone trips. Shared three-wheelers auto-rickshaws, four wheelers such as jeeps, matadors and
other such vehicles are often found in the town as public transport.
Parking Requirement
There is no provision for organized on-street parking and off-street parking at major commercial centres of
the town. The core market area of the town is characterized by narrow roads with slow moving traffic.
Unorganized on-street parking and informal shops leads to encroachment on the ROW and absence of
footpath force the pedestrians to walk on the carriageway.
Thus, the capacity of the road is further reduced resulting in conflict between pedestrians and vehicular
traffic. Therefore, there is urgent need/requirement of authorized parking as per the standards for major
commercial areas and in other important areas such as along SH 52 and SH9 of the town.

The present and future demand of road (in km) is calculated considering the per capita demand as 1.5 m. The
demand for road by 2035 will be around 18 km. The current total length of road is 19.08 km which gives a
total surplus of around 1 km by 2035. The consideration is also made for converting 5.62 km of kutcha roads
into pucca ones until 2015. Regarding infrastructure augmentation, it is required to construct/develop a
Transport Nagar by 2020, a bus stand with basic amenities by 2015 and provision of on-street parking with
pavement on major roads by 2015.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Govindgarh is well connected with SH-52 & SH9

Town has good road network and accessible from
all directions
There are inter-city and intra-city movements
which provide opportunity for improvement of
transportation system.
WEAKNESS
Roads are narrow if concerned with future
demand
Pressure on major roads in core areas, due to
encroachment by informal establishment etc.
reduce the effective width of carriageway
No organized parking provisions at major
commercial centres, on-street parking is common
in town
Lack of pedestrian facilities
Lack of appropriate terminals further adds to the
congestion of the arterial roads
Lack of proper traffic management system &
infrastructure facilities such as automated signals
etc. in the town.
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Land availability for major projects like In the absence of adequate public transportation
systems in town, individual and personalized
development of Bus Terminal, Transport Nagar for
modes of transport would increase
goods carriers and parking facilities
Fund unavailability for road construction and

PPP participation for development and
maintenance.
maintenance of Bus Terminal, Transport Nagar
and Parking facilities.
Issues
Town lacks proper traffic and transportation management system

Page 94
There is absence of public transportation system, which leads to increase in the number of
personalized modes of transportation and results in traffic congestion in many part of the city in busy
hours
There is great pressure on major roads, since all the major commercial activities, important
institutions etc. are concentrated long these roads
Rampant encroachment, on-street parking on all major roads leads to congestion thereby reducing
the ROW and carriageway resulting in slow movement of traffic in core area
The town lacks proper transport, utility/infrastructure systems such as Bus Terminal, Transport
Nagar (Truck Terminal), organized and adequate parking spaces in important areas to properly
facilitate movement of vehicles in the town and improve the traffic situation
Currently the existing bus terminal is very small; it is not being used by bus operators because of
paucity of space in making entry and exit due to informal development, inefficient road width.
Hence, it is being used as taxi stand
Narrow streets in the core areas of the town need to be widened through proper planning and
addressing the encroachment problems
Gomati Chouraha is a congested area and needs junction improvement.

To improve the status of traffic and transportation system in the town following goals have been identified
for different horizon years

of traffic and transportation in the town, strategies under short term measures, medium term and long term
action plans are elaborated below:
1. Short Term Measures: Short term measures include immediate trouble shooting and traffic
management actions such as Intersection or junction improvement in the core and accident prone areas to town.
Traffic signalization at major intersections or junctions and road stretch.
Removal of encroachments on major roads & pavements to provide free flow of traffic.
Page 95
Conversion of existing bus stand into taxi or auto rickshaw stand.

Establishment of Traffic Police Stations and Traffic Management Centres.
These measures should be taken-up on a continuous basis.

2. Medium Term Action Plan: This aims at the development of transport infrastructure over a
perspective plan period of 5 15 Years to bring about coordinated development among different
components. These measures typically will include various infrastructure projects including network
improvements such as Road up-gradation - Improvement of all existing major roads connecting town to peripheral
areas through widening, strengthening and developing footpaths in phase manner
Up-gradation of existing kutcha roads into pucca ones.
New road formation/development for a total length of 5.62 km in different areas of the town
as per the future development of town
Development, Operation and Maintenance of parking lots with payment on major roads and
commercial areas of town on PPP base
Development of Bus Stand/Terminal on BOOT basis
Development of Truck Terminal/ Transport Nagar on BOOT basis.
For Monitoring and Evaluation: Preparation of a detailed road register and designing and
implementing a system to update the same on a regular basis, including details of construction and
repair/maintenance history.
3. Long Term Action Plan: The long term action plan aims at the development of structure plan for the
town with transit as one of the lead components, which will direct the urban growth so as to bring
about a structural fit between transit infrastructure and urban growth. This will include the
introduction of eco-friendly intra-city public transport system and also examine a comprehensive
multi-modal Public Transport System to bring about the most optimal mix of commuting within the
town and thus providing a sustainable transit solution.

The creation of a reliable, comfortable, attractive and affordable traffic management system is the long-term
solution for solving the traffic problems in the city. Thus, construction of new bus stand to provide a high
quality transit system, and provision of parking facilities are envisaged to solve parking problem and
congestion in core areas. To achieve the goals in this sector the following projects have been identified:

Street Lighting and Fire Fighting
Existing Situation of Street Lights

Providing full coverage by street light is important in the development of town as it facilitates urban
movement and safeguards life and property.
At present the town has nearly 559 street light poles. Out of the total street light poles, there is some sort of
street light on 407 poles. Out of the 407, 148 poles have sodium vapour lamps, 162 poles have energy tube
lights and 97 have bulbs. As per the primary survey, street light on all the major roads and streets of the town
is in working condition. The Parishad is switching over to the energy saving CFL bulb.

Out of 1697 households, majority of households (1556) use firewood as a fuel for cooking purpose followed
by the LPG (124) for domestic cooking. This shows a strain on forest/wood resources which is a concern and a
threat to environment and causes depletion of natural resources.
Issues
At present the town has nearly 559 street light poles and there is some sort of street light on 407
poles.
Out of the 407 almost 148 poles have sodium vapour lamp, 162 poles have energy tube light and 97
have bulb.
As per the primary survey, there is street light on all the major roads (Rewa Road, Sidhi Road, Tamra
road etc.) and streets of the town in working condition.
The Parishad is switching over to the energy saving CFL bulb.
Inappropriate maintenance and functioning of lights. Around one-fourth of the street lights are nonfunctional.
Irregular spacing of street light poles in the residential areas of the town.
Inadequacy in number of street lights in the town.
Lack of fire fighting service facilities and staff.

To improve the status of street lighting system in the town following goals have been identified for different

of street lighting and fire fighting in the town, strategies under short term measures, medium term and long
term action plans are elaborated below:
1. Short Term Measures: Short term measures include immediate trouble shooting actions such as Replacement of non working fixture on street light poles
Up-gradation of existing poles in terms of spacing from one to other
Strict control on illegal connection
Procurement of latest vehicles for street lighting
Procurement of 2 fire tenders for fire fighting.
These measures should be taken up on a continuous basis.
2. Medium Term Action Plan: This aims at the development of infrastructure over a perspective plan
period of 5 15 Years to bring about coordinated development among different components. These
measures typically will include various infrastructure projects including network improvements such
as Replacement of tube lights with power saving CFL and LED lights
Installation of new street light poles at standard spacing for 100% coverage
Installation of high Mast Light at important junctions, rotary and entry point of the town
Alternate Street Light options (Solar, energy saver like CFL, LED etc.) and installation of
automated control lights
Installation of solar based electric poles in public gathering places and recreational spaces
like river site
Installation of solar panels for generating solar power/electricity in institutions (such as ULB,
CHC etc.) and on identified government land within the municipal limit
Disaster Management Plan for fire-fighting
Institutional strengthening, human resources development leading to overall capacity
building of ULB for both the sector Street Lighting and Fire Fighting - including assets
required for the operation and maintenance
For Monitoring and Evaluation: Preparation of a detailed register, designing and implementing a
system to update the same on a regular basis, includes details of new installation of fixture, repair
and maintenance history.
3. Long Term Action Plan: The long term action plan aims at to the development of under-ground
cabling/utility ducts for the horizon year of 2035. This will also help in minimizing power theft.

With a view to cover the entire streets with lighting facilities and to handle and overcome the anthropogenic
hazards like fire in town the following projects have been identified:

Urban Poor and their Accessibility to Basis Services
Poverty in the Town

Around 21.49% (2264) of total population (10535) are slums, squatter and other poor population which
mainly resides in ward no. 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14 and 15 of the town. Their contribution to the citys economy has
been growing over the period. In the absence of clear policy to address their problems, the poor suffer from
many inadequacies in terms of access to basic services, socio-economic needs. It is necessary, therefore, to
articulate policies and programmes to mainstream the slum communities with the city, both in terms of
infrastructure provision and socio-economic development.
Separate Information on BPL Population and Slum Population

Out of the total slum population (2264); nearly 70% population (i.e. 1585) accounts for Below Poverty Line
(BPL) population.
Slums in the Town

Some of the densely populated areas in the city are classified as slums primarily because of lack of basic
services and also due to their unauthorized construction. Slums have kutcha houses and no open spaces.
According to the information or data provided by Nagar Parishad there are 7 wards (ward no. 1, 5, 6, 7, 10,
14 and 15) where slum population (about 2264) in Govindgarh are residing in Jhuggies/ Basti.
Figure 6.13: Housing condition in Slums in Govindgarh Town
Page 102

6.2.7
General Characteristics of Slum
Slums and squatter settlements are essentially products of poverty. In the context of basic service delivery,
almost by definition, the population living in slums lacks access to basic infrastructure services like safe
water, sanitation, solid waste collection and disposal, drainage, access roads, street lights, neighbourhood
amenities like safe play areas for children and community facilities and electricity connections.
The social composition of a majority of slums comprises SC, ST and OBC population. Most of the slums have
predominantly one caste staying in it or people from one place of origin.
A majority of the working population in slums is engaged in small scale industries or work as agricultural
labourers.
Health related obligatory functions of the Nagar Parishad are restricted and health related activities are
insufficient. Primary health is in poor conditions in the slums and lack of awareness among people.
Status of Slums (Notified/ Un-notified)

In Govindgarh there are total 15 wards, out of which 7 wards have part of slums but only three wards i.e. 7,
14 and 15 are notified as slum wards having a total slum population of approximate 2025 people.
Land Ownership and Tenure Status

Most of the slums in these 3 of wards in Govindgarh are located on government land. Government land
includes land belonging to the state or municipal govt. There are also many slums which are located on
private land belongs to individuals.
Government has from time to time issued the slum households legal ownership/ title of land/ Patta, as part
of its policy to ensure tenure security to the poor and landless.
Most of the slum dwellers have legal Land ownership. The land has been given to all the slum dwellers on
pattas. The Patta Act, 1984 & 1998 was introduced to grant leasehold rights to the landless persons
occupying urban lands. The act was amended in 1998 under Rajiv Gandhi Ashrya Abhiyan.
Unidentified Slums and Homeless Population/ Pavement Dwellers

Besides the notified slum locations there are few wards where slums exist but still they are not notified like
ward nos. 1, 5, 6 and 10.
6.2.8
Urban Basic Services in Slums (in line with JnNURM 7 point charter)
Slums within the town do not have adequate infrastructure facilities. The following analysis has been done
taking into account the seven point charter.
Status of Physical Infrastructure in Slums

Housing
The shelter conditions are very scruffy in the selected pockets. The majority of the houses in these slums area
are made of mud and wattle with burnt mud tiles (Khapra) and iron sheet roofs. These are a carry-over from
rural housing and its so-called semi-permanent houses (tin roofs plastered/ un-plastered floors with the
occasional plastered mud wall or wood and bamboo). Many of these houses lack basic amenities such as
toilet, power, water and security.
Water Supply
Page 103

In present situation most of the residents of the slum obtain their water either from improved point sources
like well or bore wells or from municipal council piped water supply system. Most of the open wells rely on
hand-drawn methods of water collection using rope and bucket. Some bore well are fitted with individual
hand pumps for local supply.
Drainage
The existing condition of surface drainage is a mess in the whole slum pocket. Most of the roads in the
selected slum areas do not have proper drainage system. During the monsoon most of these roads get
crammed with muddy water, which remain stagnant for weeks and as a result give rise to many diseases.
Sanitation
At present the main type of sanitation in these slum areas is the pit latrine. A few houses have water closets
with septic tanks which has been a major factor in ground water contamination. The sanitation alternatives
in selected sum areas also comprises of public latrine blocks, the pour flush latrines and toilet blocks which
are usually connected to septic tanks and then to nallah flowing to Raja Talab. The present condition suggests
that the public toilets are not successful in the town since a communal facility often seems to belong to no
one. Individual users have very little feelings of responsibility or commitment to keep it clean under these
circumstances. The latrines become unhygienic and in-sanitary and as a result people stop using it. Thus, the
residents who do not have access to one of these sanitation facilities have the common practice of open
defecation in open spaces.
Sewerage
In the existing scenario, the underground and protected sewerage system is absent in the entire town area.
In the slum areas sewage, sludge and storm water flows in open kuccha drains which causes serious health
and safety risks.
Road & Street Lighting

All the roads in the selected slums are narrow tracks eroded by runoff water. These roads lack drainage
which compounds the erosion problem. Only few areas in these slums have reasonably good access roads on
the periphery asphalt. In the internal areas of the slums there are largely stone paved/cemented and kuccha
roads. The problem with the existing roads in slum areas is their poor physical conditions and absence of
other supportive services.
At present street lighting in these slum areas are concerned, Nagar Parishad has provided the same to urban
poor but level of provision is low as compared to other areas of the town. Still there are few pockets in these
slum areas where street light has not been provided.

As per the data provided by Govindgarh Nagar Parishad, there are 4 dustbins in the selected slum areas.
Most of the households dump their waste in the open or along the river side. Door-to-door collection system
is still not in practice.
Status of Social Infrastructure in Slums

Access to social infrastructure is an important factor for human development especially in slum areas. This
section highlights the availability of educational and medical facilities within the slum areas/pockets.
Educational Facilities
Page 104

As far as slums are concerned, there is only one school in ward no. 15 which is not sufficient to educate the
people including slum population at town level. Children of urban poor go to Government School located in
the bazaar area. The schools in the town do not have proper arrangement of basic requirement of drinking
water and sanitation facility for the student. More over the physical condition of the schools are not good. In
rainy seasons it becomes impossible to carry out the educational activities in the girls school.
Health Facilities
As per the survey conducted under the programme, very less percentage of slum pockets have access to
health care facilities within the distance of 100 meters to 500 meters. Most of the urban poor have to travel
more than 1.5 km distance to Community Health Centre for health care facility.
Social Security Schemes and Beneficiaries

The social security pension scheme was launched earlier in the town for Senior Citizens, Physically Challenged
and Widows, but only few peoples are getting benefited through the scheme in the selected slum
areas/pockets.
6.2.9
Present and Future Housing Demand
As per Census of India 2011, the average household size in the town is 6.5 which is higher than the national
urban average of 5.12. Since the town is in transition phase of development (rural to urban), it is semi-urban
in nature. The present and future housing demand for the town has been estimated by taking into account
the ideal size of a household / dwelling unit (DU) that is 5.0. The average household size in most of the wards
is higher than the ideal household size.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Housing is mainly developed by individuals on plotted
development
The housing sector uses locally available cheap
materials like stone and bricks including bamboo and
woods
The land is cheap and developed land is available in
Govindgarh town
The town has scope for redevelopment for housing
transformation Kutchha to Pucca and tiles to RCC
roofs.
OPPORTUNITY
WEAKNESS
Urban poor have no tiled roof houses and
currently occupying in low lying areas
The provision of services will have difficulty
to reach at poor settlements in Govindgarh
The Kutcha houses and thatched roofs limit
scope of housing transformation for urban
poor in Govindgarh
The sites and services scheme has limited
success in town
Most of the population does not have margin
money to avail housing units under IHSDP.
THREAT
There are urban poor who have land titles, can access The urban poor have no regular jobs and
sites and services funds
faced migration to major cities
There is Government land available for relocation of The tribal prefer to stay in villages and
urban poor under IHSDP/BSUP
practice agriculture in old age
The tribal target groups have affordability to pay for The sale of property becomes difficult in case
EWS public housing especially those working in
of shifting of jobs.
Government and having regular jobs
Encouragement in land Patta distribution will increase
housing construction activities among the urban poor.
6.2.12
Issues
Most of the houses in the slums are kutcha type. There is lack of basic services and amenities in terms of
quantity and quality. Due to bad economic conditions, the urban poor are not able to contribute much into
housing. Most of the slums have land tenure ship, which can act as a potential for improvement of slums in
the city.
The shelter conditions are very scruffy in the selected pockets. The majorities of the houses in these
slums areas are made of mud and wattle with burnt mud tiles (Khapra) and iron sheet roofs.
Many of these houses lack basic amenities such as toilet, power, water, open spaces etc. and have
katcha houses.
Most of the residents of the slum obtain their water from Municipal Hand pumps.
The existing condition of surface drainage is a mess in the whole slum pocket.
At present the main type of sanitation in these slum areas is the pit latrine.
All the roads in the selected slums are narrow tracks eroded by runoff water.
There are 4 dustbins in the selected slum areas (In ward 1, 5 and 15).
Page 107

Only one school in slum areas is located (in ward no. 15) which is not sufficient to educate the people
including slum population at town level.
6.2.13
City Specific Strategies and Action Plans

Encouraging slum improvement schemes like improvement of physical i.e. water supply, drainage,
sanitation facilities as well as social infrastructure like education, health facilities in the slums
Construction of underground sewage system in the town including slum areas
Solid waste bins must be provided to all the wards and ensure the primary and secondary collection
including segregation of waste at source
Pucca drains and culverts must be provided in all wards including slum areas
Providing land ownership to the slum dwellers that are located in non-hazardous govt. land, so that
the people can invest of their own houses
For skill up-gradation and economic up-liftment various schemes should introduce, so that people
can spare for proper housing
Involvement of NGOs should be encouraged for improvement of slums
Government should act as a facilitator rather than provider for the improvement of the housing
condition of the slums
Community participation should be emphasized in every scheme launched by the government or
NGOs.
Relocation of slums from hazardous/flood prone areas.

Presently slum coverage is 9.25% of the city and there is lack of physical and social infrastructure in most of
the slums as well. So to make the city slum free the following projects have been identified in this sector:

Health
Overall Health Facilities

There is general awareness among the residents about environment protection and cleanliness in the town.
The Parishad is actively engaged in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the town. At present, there is one
Community Health Centre (CHC) with 30 beds and two Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in surrounding Gram
Panchayats in Rehat and Tikar. There are five doctors, five nurses, two assistant nurses and two supporting
Page 108

staff. The prevalent diseases in town are malnutrition, viral diarrhoea, dysentery, malarial fever and
tuberculosis. Apparently, the existing health systems seem to be adequate to meet the local requirements of
existing population. However, the demand for health services is bound to increase along with growth in
population and there is a need for creating a specialty hospital for the growing population. There is an
ambulance to carry pregnant women to the CHC and if required to Rewa for further treatment.
Basic Health Indicators

The basic health indicators in the city are infant mortality rate, life expectancy, maternal mortality ratio,
Physicians per 10,000 population, Nurses per 10,000 population,: Professional nurses, Total Expenditure on
Health (THE) as % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Occurrence of epidemics etc.
Medical Facility Provided by Municipal Body

There is no medical facility provided by Govindgarh Nagar Parishad. Only vaccination is arranged time to
time, basically in rainy season or at the time of any communicable diseases like malaria or fever.
Role of Municipal Body in Health Programmes

The department of public health and family welfare is responsible for health related factors in the state of
Madhya Pradesh. This department organizes several health campaigns initiated by the state and central
government and monitors the health indicators of the state. Major role of the municipal body is to assist the
state officials in the health campaigs and awareness programmes launched for the citizens. However, basic
health facilities are provided through Community Health Centre administered by Public Health and family
Welfare Department of State Government. Looking at the development of Govindgarh and its future growth
prospects, it is important to initiate and strengthen the health facility services for municipal body itself to
provide effective health services to the citizens of the town.
6.3.2
Education
Overall Educational Facilities and Teachers in the Town

Altogether there are 5 government schools in Govindgarh. Out of this 3 are primary, 1 high school for boys
and 1 higher secondary school for girls provided by government. There are four private schools in the town.
The town has an Anganwai kendra in each ward. The schools have basic facility like toilets, urinals, drinking
water facility and playground. Further improvement in the facility is needed for a healthier environment.
Figure 6-6: Schools in Govindgarh
Page 109

Basic Education and Literacy Indicators
Basic education/ literacy indicators are Primary school enrolment ratio (females as % of males), Adult literacy
ratio (females as % of males) and Secondary school enrolment ratio (females as % of males) etc.
As per 2001 Census, the average literacy rate of Govindgarh town was 57.45 % which increased to 66.55% as
per 2011 Census but it is lower as compared to the District Average of 73.42 %. The male literacy rate as per
census 2011 is high at 75.97 % while female literacy rate is a significant 56.58 %. The status of women in
terms of literacy has been significantly low at town level; this lower literacy rate may be due to the absence
of proper education facilities and the backwardness of the area. The lower female literacy rate may be due to
absence of social awareness and up-liftment.

6.3.3
Recreation and Entertainment
Recreational Facilities (Parks, Playgrounds etc.)

At present there is no any designated and organized parks & playground, in the town as recreational facilities
for the citizens except the area along the pond side which is not maintained and developed. There is a
Ramlila ground near the Nagar Parishad.
Sports Facilities
Town has a polo ground with a pavilion for sports. Besides this, there is no other planned sports facility.
Page 111

6.3.4
Fire Fighting Services
There is no separate office for fire fighting operations in the town. The responsibility of fire services has been
delegated to the municipality, among other tasks but there is no formal fire fighting services available in the
town. In such anthropogenic hazards situation few water tankers are being used and GNP asks for help from
District Headquarter Rewa. Moreover there is no additional options/manpower available for rescue
operations.
Thus, the ULB urgently needs a fully fledged fire fighting department equipped with latest fire-fighting
vehicles (including operation and maintenance of assets) and well trained manpower to control the
anthropogenic hazard and fire mishap for Govindgarh Nagar Parishad.

its proper development has not been done.
6.3.8
1. Health Sector
Extension of hospital situated in the premise of community health centre by constructing a multi
storied block
As there is poor infrastructure in health sector in the town, care should be taken by providing
land for development of new intermediate/ multi-specialty hospitals, poly-clinics, increase beds
and number of doctors in the existing hospital and health care centres
Lack of specialized medical care in the existing health care centres, so specialized medical
services should be facilitated in the town by constructing dispensaries
Municipal body can initiate the different health campaigns throughout the year and create
public awareness for prevention of diseases especially during monsoon season
By providing proper health facilities in the city, health tourism can be promoted in the area
which will serve the region and generate revenue for the city.

Facilitating provision of more number of schools at the primary and secondary education level
along with required infrastructure facilities for the sector
Reconstruction or renovation of school buildings and other infrastructure which is in dilapidated
conditions
Enhancement and maintenance of infrastructure facilities like drinking water, toilet, solid waste
management etc. in schools and other educational institutions

Flora and Fauna
As such there is no records found regarding the flora and fauna in the study area i.e. Govindgarh Nagar
Parishad.
At regional level, the region is rich in valuable minerals, forests and wild animals. Variability in climatic
conditions brings about significant difference in the forest types of the state. There are four important forest
types viz. Tropical Moist, Tropical Dry, Tropical Thorn and Subtropical broadleaved Hill forests. The status of
the forests is reserved and protected forests and forests owned and maintained by villagers that have no
protected status.
The prevalent trees in the forests of Rewa District are Mango, Neem, Jamun, Sagon, Sal, Tendu, Shishum,
Eucalyptus, Teak, Palas, Saja, Mahua bamboo etc, The brushwood consists mainly of the species
Grewiazizyphus, Casearia, Antidesma, Woodfordia, Flueggia, Phyllanthus, Bosewellia and Buchanania with
occasional trees of mahua (Bassialatifolia). The Rewa District is famous for white tigers, bears, panthers,
sambar (Cervus unicolor), Chinkara (Gazellabenetii) and other species. Wild fowl of all classes are common
throughout the area.
6.4.2
Pollution Levels (Air, Water and Soil)
1. There is no monitoring facility for pollution level in Govindgarh

2. Monitoring of pollution level is done by Pollution Control Board located in Rewa, the District
Headquarter.
Page 118

6.4.3
City Green Spaces
As per the existing land-use 2011 the town has plenty of agricultural land but does not have any designated
and organized green space or open spaces for the citizens. According to the UDPFI guidelines, the open
spaces for parks and playgrounds/ green space should be around 12-14% of the total developed area, which
shows there is a lack of planned developed open spaces in the city. The town needs developed recreational
areas of around 0.8 ha.
6.4.4
Water Front Development and Conservation
A large portion of the Parishads area lies under water. There is a perennial water body in the town. The
water body is separated into two portions known as Raja Talab and Rani Talab. The Parishad has prepared a
project for the beautification and conservation of the great water body of the town but due to delay in
sanction of the fund the project is lying unimplemented. Thus, there is a great scope for the development of
the pond.
Therefore to attract the potential domestic and national/international tourists to Govindgarh, different water
front development activities like green belt, boating, landscape along the riverside should be developed.

Identification of Tourist Spots at Local Level
At town level, Govindgarh has many tourist destination and heritage buildings along with some natural
elements such as nallah, pond and water bodies.
HERITAGE:

2) Nallah and pond
The existing water bodies (i.e. Raja Talab) can be developed as recreational area for town by developing
tourist infrastructure and also as a major eco-tourism site for the locals as well as for domestic tourists.
Unfortunately, the town has not been able to capitalize its potential in this sector as the site is in undeveloped stage and lacks sufficient and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services such as
street lights, public drinking water, public toilets, eating places etc. that can hold the tourist.
activities on the related lands. It is a small Island within the lake which is known for its scenic beauty and lush
green surroundings. The Sunderja Mangoes of Govindgarh are famous in the country. The people of the area
are decent and have higher human values. The law and order situation of the area is also good. This is being
developed as a future tourist destination to attract International Tourists.

Govindgarh is also known as `Mini Vrindavan and a large number of famous temples are situated in the
Hanuman Temple. All these temples are within the vicinity of the famous Govindgarh Fort. It is also believed
that the name Govindgarh is derived from the Govind Temple now situated within the Govind Garh Fort
Premises.

Identification of Tourist Spots at Local Level and Regional Level
At regional level Rewa District has a major tourist and pilgrim sites which attract tourists. Rewa district has
some major religious and adventurous tourism spots including Gurh, Govidgarh, Hanumana, and Kyunti
Water Fall. It is also proud to have an ancient archeological site - Buddhist Stupas and Rock Painting at
Deorkothar declared as monument of national importance in 1988 by the Govt. of India and is being
preserved and conserved by Archaeological Survey of India, Bhopal.
Moreover the strategic location of town at the state borders provides it a status of gateway to the famous
pilgrimage center Prayag or Allahabad. Tourists coming from the holy city Prayag or Allahabad moves
straight to Orchha or Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park. Thus, Govindgarh
town falls under KhajurahoPannaBandhavgarh-Chitrakoot-Allahabad tourist circuit.

Issues
Town is rich in natural and architectural heritage but there is no management of these resources. In
other words, there is a lack of conservation in the town.
Town does not have a dumping site, as a result waste is disposed into open drains and along the
roads. It is a cause of pollution of water bodies.
6.5.5

Water front development should be done on PPP basis along with lake and its related activities like
water sports, theme park and boating etc. to encourage tourism.
Facilitating infrastructure in terms of good means of transport, hotels and resorts to attract tourists.
Govindgarh can be developed as a rural tourist centre.
Promoting Govindgarh as a transit point for the surrounding tourist destination like Gurh, Orchha or
Khajuraho, Maihar, Panna National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park.

Presently the tourism industry is lacking infrastructure facilities and there is shortage of active recreational
space in the city. With a goal to enhance the tourism activities in the city the following projects have been
identified for improvement of the sector:

Background
Madhya Pradesh offers outstanding opportunity to indulge in various tourism options such as cultural
tourism, heritage tourism, adventure tourism, wildlife tourism and many more. A variety of traditions in each
of Madhya Pradesh's four geographical and cultural regions-Malwa, Nimad, Baghelkhand and Bundelkhand
have added color to the State's rich cultural tapestry, making it a many splendored land. There are many
deserving tourist destinations in the State widely acclaimed for its rich cultural heritage sites and wonders.
Heritage tourism is one of the most popular options of tourism appealing tourists from all over the world.
Though, heritage Tourism has great potential in Govindgarh city. It has heritage structures like Govindgarh
fort, temples with unique architecture forms, royal history, fairs and festivals, history of white tigers,
bountiful nature with Raja Talab and Rani Talab, Sunder ban, easily accessible national wild life sanctuary and
dam, etc.
Govindgarh falls under Jabalpur KhujrahoRewaGovindgarhBandhavgarhJabalpur circuit. Despite it
ideal location within the tourism circuit with rich inventory of tourism resources, this region Lacks Tourism
infrastructure such as Tourist Information Centers, transportation facilities, public conveniences such as
toilets, refreshment centers, information Centre etc. Further, being located in isolation in terms of
development, the region is facing challenges, which directly and indirectly curb the growth of tourism. The
existing infrastructure, safety & Security, local awareness and others are the major hindrance for the
development of the tourism in this region.
The Govindgarh region receives very few numbers of tourists in comparison to other destination of tourism
circuits. Despite its strategic location within the circuit, city has not been developed as a nodal Centre as base
city to cater tourist for its facilities. The existing infrastructure is inadequate to support tourism in the region
and it needs urgent up gradation. The region has wide range of tourism products, which need to be
integrated and made an intra-circuit to increase the duration of stay of the Tourists in the region. Govindgarh
city has great potential in the region to cater tourist from the circuit i.e. KhujrahoRewaGonindgarh
BandhavgarhJabalpur.
Integrating with other destination, Govindgarh can be converted as a transit zone between Khajuraho and
Varanasi or Bandhavgarh.
Hence, immense potential for developing Govindgarh as one of the destination with heritage, scenic beauty
and religious node, need to be fully exploited. In terms of improving the tourism product, in the short term
quick gains can be made by developing the destination and providing basic infrastructure facilities at various
tourist locations and at city level with high potential, which are already well connected and have a
reasonable infrastructure in place.
7.2
Madhya Pradesh Tourism and Heritage Policy
The State Tourism Policy, Heritage Tourism Policy and Eco and Adventure Tourism Policies of the State
supported with initiatives towards strengthening of infrastructure and facilities at places of tourist interests is
an important indicator of commitment of the GoMP to create an environment conducive for attracting
increased private investment in the tourism sector. In accordance with the aims and objectives of the
Tourism Policy of the State and the provisions made towards development of tourism sector, the
Government of MP, Department of Tourism has issued a Policy for the Allotment of Government Land for the
Development of Tourism in the State.
Page 123

The Madhya Pradesh Department of Tourism has, to date, sought to develop the tourism potential of the
State by involving itself in three major activities: Providing decent accommodation in areas of tourism
interest, operating a transport fleet of coaches, cars and Gypsies, and organizing package tours. Publicity and
marketing of tourist destinations and facilities has also been a major thrust activity. Apart from these efforts
undertaken by the Government, the private sector has also contributed by way of investment in hotels,
transport, and marketing of some important tourist destinations in the State. However, the efforts of the
Government and the private sector have not been dovetailed into a common developmental programme,
with the result that there has been overemphasis at certain venues, while some other important places and
activities have been neglected.
The Tourism Policy envisages creation of an environment conducive to attracting increased private
investment in the tourism sector, and a more meaningful role for the Government. The focus will be on i)
Improvement and creation of adequate basic infrastructure- land, road, water, electricity etc. ii) Up gradation
and augmentation of accommodation, catering and recreational facilities, iii) Augmentation of transport
facilities, iv) Marketing of destinations to ensure optimal use of infrastructure, v) Establishing and
strengthening institutions for the development of human resources, vi) Evolving suitable policies for
increasing foreign exchange earnings, vii) Promotion of the arts and crafts of the State.
One of the objectives of the Tourism Policy of Madhya Pradesh announced in 1995 was to convert the
heritage wealth of the State i.e. forts, palaces, havelis and kothis into heritage hotels. Later, Madhya Pradesh
Heritage Tourism Policy-2002 also envisages and set urgent needs for restoration of these beautiful buildings
are unable to attract tourists in large numbers.

however is closed for the general public.
An underground tunnel is also there which was used as a secret path for kings between Govindgarh & Rewa.

famous for its beautiful topography because in rainy season the area is known for its natural beauty and it
attracts maximum tourists in this season.
Raja Talab (Lake) and Rani Talab
Raja Talab is located just behind the Govindgarh Fort. This beautiful lake was prepared by Baghela Kings. It is
a lake which is known for its scenic beauty and lush green surroundings. This lake plays an important role in
helping irrigation as well as in ground water recharge. Fish farming (pisciculture) is also done in these talabs.
Raja lake has a facility of boating at the time of Khando Devi Temple fair because it is also near to Khando
Devi Temple (2 Km.).
Famous for White Tigers
The first white tiger, Mohan, was captured in 1951 in the nearby jungles of Govindgarh, was kept in this
palace till his death. The unusual coloration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and
entertainment showcasing exotic animals. The white tigers are known as Royal White Tigers, and this is
associated with the Maharaja of Rewa.

from official veterinary experts, he unsuccessfully tried to breed the white tiger with colored female tigers.
Eventually, however, he succeeded in creating a second generation of white tigers. In time, it expanded
around the world.

main folk dances of this area. Most of the dishes made in this area are based on dals (Lenten) and hence very
nutritious and less spicy in character.

7.6
Existing Status of Major Tourist Destinations
Cleanliness in the surrounding areas is not been taken care of which effects the number of tourists visiting
the place. Landscaping, where ever open spaces are available has not been done and the spaces been left
unseen. Haphazard vegetative growth provides negative impression on the tourists. No safety measure like
provision of guards on most of the temples has been taken.
Direct discharge of sewage from domestic sources, not connected to treatment plants; eventually make its
way into existing water bodies i.e. Raja Talab and Rani Talab.
Lack of public utilities, proper information, water facility, refreshment counters and above all parking spaces
in or around most of the temple complexes affects the number of visitors at such places.

Tourist Arrival
Tourism has been identified as one of the key drivers of growth by the MP government. Eight million
domestic tourists and 160,000 foreigners visited the state in 2005-06. The government has approved $12.2
million for development of 17 tourist locations across the state and is also making concrete efforts to
improve air connectivity to other states. It has taken initiatives to promote eco and adventure tourism and is
keen on promoting medical/ herbal tourism in association with private parties.
There is no record for tourist visiting various temples and forts in Govindgarh. There is no entrance ticket
system prevailing either at the main entrance of forts or at any of the temples. This is the major handicap in
estimating the accurate tourists influx at Govindgarh.
Despite, presence of historical building and temple, the city does not fall within any tourism circuit in the
state. Tourism prospect of Govindgarh can be viewed with the development of city infrastructure and
existing tourism destination to make a complete circuit with the Bandhavgarh-Govindgarh-Rewa as sub
circuit of Bandhavgarh - Chitrakoot-Khujario. Chitrakoot receives maximum number of visitors i.e. 9.1 million
(2008) followed by Khajuraho (0.27 million) and Bandhagarh (0.09 million).

7.8
Assessment of Tourism Supported Infrastructure
Tourism Development of any destination cannot be accomplished without proper development of support
infrastructure facilities including accessibility, accommodation, water supply, sanitation, power and drainage.
In Govindgarh city, very limited infrastructure is developed. Except approach road, small shops and drinking
water non on the infrastructure are available like Toilet facility, Solid waste Management, Street Lightning
etc. at the tourist spots.
Transportation
There is good network of roads connecting all the major parts of the state with Govindgarh. The State
Highway 9 and State Highway 52 connect Govindgarh with major cities of Madhya Pradesh. Govindgarh is not
directly connected to railway line. The nearest railway station is Rewa junction at a distance of 20 Km. The
nearest airport is Satna Airport at a distance of 54 km. which has an airstrip, however not in use for regular
fights followed by Bamrauli (Defense Air Base) in Uttar Pradesh which is approximately 161 km. from
Govindgarh.
Accommodations (Regional Level)
At town level, Govindgarh doesnt have any hotel facility to accommodate the peoples or tourists. But at
district headquarter Rewa; there are nearly 497 beds in 24 various categories of Accommodation. Besides
this, the Rewa city has nearly 5-6 Dharmshalas, which accommodates nearly 4-500 people in total. A three
Star level hotel namely Hotel Rewa Raj Vilas (owned by Maharaja Rewa) is situated in the heart of city.

7.10 Tourism Development Option & Strategies

Despite its strategic location within the tourism circuit, Govindgarh city has not been developed as a nodal
centre or as a base city to cater tourist for its facilities. In the tourism circuit of Jabalpur Bhedaghat
Mandla Kanha Bandhavgarh and Khajurahu-Panna/Bandhavgarh-Chitrakoot, Bandhavgarh and Panna is a
major Tourist node in the region after Chitrakoot and Khajurahu. Govindgarh can play a major tourist node or
base town to support tourist with its supported infrastructure. Presently, infrastructure is inadequate to
support tourism in the region, and it needs urgent upgradation. Further, an integrated circuit can be formed
considering Panna, Bandhavgarh and Sanjay National Park as part of Natural and Wildlife tourist and
Govindgarh and Rewa to support as base facilitation centre. The region has wide range of tourism products,
which need to be integrated and made an intra-circuit to increase the duration of stay of the Tourists in the
region. Govindgarh city has great potential in the region to cater tourist from the circuit. This elevated status
of Bandhavgarh as base can be retained, till a few of the tourist destinations in and around Govindgarh
region to develop their own tourist facilities. Some of the destinations like Govindgarh Fort, Khando Devi etc.
can be raised to the status of sub - nodes, with adequate improvement of infrastructure and development
of new tourism product based on Fort and the Lake. Govindgarh plays an important role in the form of
Natural & Wildlife tourism.
Page 130

The City of Govindgarh has many locations for attracting tourist of various segments including religious,
heritage tourism. In the nearest towns of Govindgarh, Rewa is one of the art and craft centre in the region
and also a major city for providing lodging and boarding facilities.
At present city is devoid of basic tourism supported infrastructure such as tourism information centre, basic
amenities at destinations within the city as well as accommodation of attracting high end tourism. Some
associated cultural activity areas like Govindgarh Fort, Raja Talab (lake) and Khando Devi Temple area can be
developed which will form an integrated cultural circuit. The immense potential for developing Govindgarh
as one of the destination with heritage and religious destination, it needs to be fully exploited. In terms of
improving the tourism product, in the short term quick gains can be made by developing the destination and
providing basic infrastructure facilities at locations with high potential, which are already well connected and
have a reasonable infrastructure in place.
Map 7-1: Major Tourist circuits around the Govindgarh city
The overall tourism development of Govindgarh Region can be segmented into two levels
a) Major Tourism Circuits -Though there are many tourism attractions scattered around the Govindgarh City
linking Rewa, Bandhavgarh National Park etc.
Page 131

b) Minor Tourism Circuits- the Cultural (Heritage) and religious tourism destinations located within the city
includes Govindgarh Fort, Ram Govind Temple, Panchmukhi temple and other temple and heritage can be
integrated within this Mega Tourism Project.
Govindgarh as a tourist needs to be a co-ordinated effort to improve the quality and range of public realm
spaces, heritage sites and temples and other facilities. The emphasis of this is on Govindgarh Nagar Parishad
for overall development of the city.
Overall Development of Govindgarh Town- Govindgarh has great potential for tourism development. Planned
tourism development in Govindgarh would significantly increase domestic and foreign tourist arrivals and
attract their long duration visits. This would result in their higher spending for various facilities and services
within the region. This would directly boost up trade and commerce, transport sectors and other service
sectors. Studies show that tourism is one sector having the highest multiplier effect. Tourism can trigger off
development in many supporting sectors and create a large number of employment opportunities.
7.11 Recommended Tourism Development Proposals

Considering all these aspects, the activities can be well planned and organised to enhance tourist attraction
by providing;
a) Site attractiveness /enhancement Projects
Conservation of Govindgarh Fort, Raja Talab and development of basic amenities to the tourist.
Development of tourist infrastructure at Khando Devi temple.
Provide large open areas and street furniture in the city.
b) Additional attractiveness
Waterfront Development
Shopping arcade with Cafeteria selling art materials, dance materials, other essential articles for
students, schools & visitors.
c) Site specific critical infrastructure project
A comprehensive Master Plan of the area needs to be prepared.
Provision of designated paid parking areas for tourist buses, cars and other vehicles.
General landscape plan for the area
Design and location for every component of street furniture
d) Development Guidelines and control
Programmes based on development guidelines and also enforcement controls.
e) Marketing
Defining Tourism Circuit in the State, adding Govindgarh as one of the cultural centre
Action Programme
The action program aims to specify and define potential areas of tourist attractions where wide ranges of
tourism products can be provided, enhancing the attractiveness by augmenting existing core activities by
providing additional activities and improve connectivity and access to already tourist attraction at a subdued
level. The objective is to support regenerate and upgrade the existing attraction through augmenting core
activities by providing additional activities.
Selective Development of Heritage site
This project should include Conservation measures, planned development and upkeep of the environment,
designed lighting facilities and provision of tourists/ visitor facilities. Govindgarh town has mainly Govindgarh
Fort which is important from heritage point of view and need to be conserved.
Page 132

Conservation Master Plan for the Govindgarh fort and environments is to be prepared. Archaeological Survey
of India (ASI) and State Archaeological Department has been mainly concentrating on the conservation it
could not make the monument attractive with proper landscaping and providing basic amenities. M.P.
Tourism in this respect can play meaningful role to refurbish it and make it very attractive. The conservation
master plan shall cover following components:
o Delineation of the Central core (Govindgarh Fort), historical temples and Raja Talab area to be
considered under Conservation Plan. Conservation of identified heritage buildings/areas and
preparation of conservation guidelines.
o Preparation of land use plan for conservation area
o General landscape plan for the area
o Design and location for every component of street furniture
o Waste management plan, which could be considered as part of town level waste management
plan.
o Architectural and Development Control Regulations (DCR)
o Development of Urban Design concept and streetscape.
Development of Govindgarh Fort and Raja/Rani Talab area- Govindgarh Fort area is to be developed as an
integrated cultural zone and this will attract tourists.
Construction of public convenience and safe drinking water facilities within the fort complex
Construction of Parking for tourist vehicles
Establishing `Light and Sound shows
Construction of Entrance Gate: The entrance Gate of monument, which helps to form the first
impression of what, is inside. An artistically designed gateway by incorporating architectural
elements should be provided at the site.
City Level Green spaces and Parks
The City lacks in proper green spaces and the presently gardens are not attractive it requires redevelopment.
There is need of park development.
i) Establishment of Regional Park- Regional Park may be developed at Khando Devi temple. The
landscape may incorporate meandering pathways, seating places, concealed low-intensity lighting,
etc. The facilities will also include Refreshment centre, Toilets, drinking water facilites and
Landscaped Garden
ii) Development of garden including landscaping- Establish Landscaped park near to Govindgarh fort
because there is availability of water from Raja talab.
Enhancement and Up-gradation of City Level Infrastructure
i.
Designated Parking facilities
a. Provision of designated paid parking areas for tourist buses, cars and other vehicles.
b. Provision of designated taxi and auto stands in at least 2 or 3 locations in the central area.
ii.
Clock rooms and pay - use toilets for men and women at a minimum of 3 locations by the side
Construct pay & use toilets in places of public assembly and also in tourist locations. It should be made
mandatory for all shopping areas and restaurants having more than a specified built up area to provide public
toilet facilities, which may also be maintained on, pay & use basis. The major roads may also be provided
with wayside coin operated toilets, at least in major urban centers. The models adopted by Sulabh
Sauchalaya in many towns and cities are worth mentioning in this context. The local self-governments, both
urban and rural, should be made to think and act on these lines.
iii.

Page 133

Charming garden with lush green landscape will add elegance to the whole town. The tourist complexes
should be properly landscaped in a manner compatible with the environmental character of the
surroundings. No construction should commence without having secured the consent of the appropriate
authority for the provision of infrastructural services, i.e electricity, telephone, road access, water, etc.
iv.
Designed Electrical & telephone poles in the area should be replaced with artistically designed beautiful
ancient looking poles. Stone Benches with shade. The benches in the heritage area should be artistically
designed.
v.
Tourist Facility & Information Centre
Establish tourist facility centre including tourist information centre, toilet and drinking water facilities and
conventional shops near Govindgarh Fort.
Development of Raja/Rani Talab (lake)
The landscape in this part is exceedingly scenic and offers the potential for excellent development of Water
based tourism. Lake offers pleasure boating facilities. However, any resort that may be developed here
should follow the characteristics of the site. The architecture should respect the characteristics of vernacular
architecture, and in any way, should not cause visual conflict with the surrounding nature.
Water sports based tourism, especially related to boating. This would help in development of water sports
like water scooter, water skiing, etc. Restaurants, toilets, shops, sports gear renting outlets etc. catering to
tourists have to be developed in this area as part of the Project.

7.13 Best Practice

Box: 7.1: Heritage Conservation Gohar mahal Restoration & Reuse as Craft centre
Background:
Bhopal is the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and the administrative headquarters of Bhopal
Division. The city was the capital of the former Bhopal state. Bhopal is also known as the Lake City for its
various natural as well as artificial lakes and is one of the greenest cities in India.
Page 134

Gohar Mahal is situated in the banks of the magnificent Upper Lake. It is one of the
beautiful palaces in Bhopal. Gohar Mahal is an architectural marvel, which presents a
perfect blend of Hindu and Mughal Architecture.
It is constructed by Kudasia Begum in 1819 AD and due to unmaintained conditions; it
has become degraded and dilapidated.
Key Components of the Projects: To recover that condition detailed documentation
and condition assessment of the building has been done and prepared a restoration
and reuse proposal by INTACH. It also involved community in the re-development
process to know their views and perception.
The palace has been restored and maintained the original
fabric and construction details of the buildings. New
functions will be introduced to convert the complex into an
Urban Haat to showcase the local craft and a cuisine. This
project has been supported by DC H&H, Government of
India and MPHHVN, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh.
Lesson Learned:
Complete participation of the community at all
stages.
Conservation as a tool to promote development
and improve living standards.
Close partnerships with national and local government bodies as well as with international funding
agencies.

role of private sector is restricted to social sector - education and health-care in a limited manner. Even
outsourcing of activities such as maintenance and upkeep of street light, solid waste collection and
transportation which are common among small municipalities is not practiced at Govindgarh.
8.8
Issues
8.9
Inadequate staff in Govindgarh Nagar Parishad

Lack of co-ordination between different departments of state and Govindgarh Nagar Parishad for
administration and regulation of functions and services
Absence of training and capacity building for staff in order to improve the service delivery to the
citizens
Absence of private sector role in provision of infrastructure service and delivery mechanism.
Accrual-based, double-entry accounting system should be incorporated in the present governance

system
Balance sheet preparation should be started to strength the financial and governance system
Computerization of the system which mainly includes three things:
o Financial and account
o Workshop: Solid Waste management & Street lightening
o Technical Development: In Water supply, roads networking etc.
Implementation of E-governance with IT applications like GIS, MIS etc.
User charges should be applied to recover O&M cost
Basic services to the poor and security of tenure at affordable prices
Municipal Council need to gear themselves for meeting future challenges in service delivery.
Therefore, they need to initiate a process of transition by adopting various organization management
Page 141
principles such as improved accounting techniques, monitoring and evaluation of projects (including
social audit), and improved budgeting methods
Focus on skill-up-gradation of municipal staff on a regular basis. Human resources are the key to
efficient service delivery in any organization. Municipal Council will need to emphasize on developing
core skills of municipal staff in order to ensure that these skills are relevant to the ever-changing
operational environment
Decentralization of functions: Decentralization of municipal functions, particularly in service delivery,
citizen interface and planning will greatly enhance the operational capabilities of Municipal Council
Special budget should be incorporate for the target groups like urban poor, women etc. which gives
basically focus on infrastructure development, affordable housing for poor, local economic
generation etc.
Demand Collection Balance should be started at ward level.

rate. The income of Govindgarh is driven by three main sources i.e. income from taxes (Property tax,
Water tax, Pilgrimage tax, Sewerage tax, conservancy tax) non tax sources such as (Rental from

Key Financial Indicators
9.7.1
Revenue Indicators
Own sources revenue to Total revenue: Higher the percentage of own sources better is the financial
health of the municipality and less dependent on the Government
Taxes and non-taxes to own revenue: It is good to have own tax revenue sources increasing in trend
which shows elasticity and increase of tax revenue in municipal budget. Increase in non-tax sources
indicate municipal services are charged and increased with increase in services consumption.
Therefore, both indicators are independently monitored in municipal finance.
Page 147
Capital revenue to Total revenue: This source of revenue indicates fund availability of capital work as
well as resources available from the higher level of government and better credit worthiness of
municipalities to access loan from market and financial institutions.
9.7.2
9.8
Expenditure Indicators
Capital expenditure to total expenditure: More capital expenditure more development, more asset
creation, better infrastructure. This is a good indicator and shows good municipality. More per capita
capital expenditure better is the municipality and vice-versa.
Revenue expenditure to total expenditure: Less the revenue per capita expenditure, better is the
financial health of the municipality. It shows that the municipality does not have surplus money for
capital and infrastructure work and this is bad for the municipal finance.
Income, Expenditure and Surplus Deficit Analysis
For the financial assessment, three year financial data pertaining to the years 2008-09 to 2010-11 have been
used. At present, Govindgarh follows a cash-based single entry accounting system, where income and
expenditure heads are maintained on a cash inflow and outflow basis. In order to gauge the correct financial
picture of Govindgarh, it is critical to recast accounts in a standard accounting format with appropriate heads.
Govindgarh accounts have, therefore, been recast appropriately. The financial assessment has then been
done by looking at the annual growths of various components of income and expenditure, the sectoral
makeup of the finances, the extent of Govindgarhs dependence on the State and Central government grants
and reimbursements, the status of debt servicing, performance indicators and so on.
In this exercise, all the revenue earned by Govindgarh from taxes, fees, shared income etc. have been treated
as revenue income and the income from loans and revenue grants has been treated as a capital income.
Similarly, all expenses towards regular maintenance are treated as revenue expenses, while expenses on any
asset creation have been treated as capital expenses. The financial assessment thus undertaken is discussed
in the following sections.
9.8.1
Financial Status at a Glance
The assessment of the income and expenditure statement of Govindgarh, at aggregate level, reveals that
from all the years reviewed, in 2008-10 it shows buffer margin but in the year 2010-11 it turns into deficit
margin due to more Capital expenditure.

Figure 9.9-4: Year Wise Revenue Income, Expenditure and Surplus - GNP
From the table of income and expenditure it can be analysed that there is a balance between income and
expenditure of Govindgarh. Only in the financial year 2010-11, there was more expenditure in comparison to
income. The analysis has been conducted, keeping in mind the limitation arising out of limited total income in
general, and internal revenue generation in particular. The spending pattern of Govindgarh suggests high
spending, as compared to the total income, leaving a very small buffer margin. However, a buffer margin is
maintained as Closing Balance (CB) with a major help of grants & aids. Generating internal resources is a
must to sustain development activities for a longer time.
Since the job of Govindgarh Nagar Parishad happens to be a non-commercial one, it is not expected and
right to have a much lower total expenditure as compared to the total income. Income is generated to fulfil
the requirements of society and community by spending as much as possible on the development front.
However, a buffer margin should always be kept for any contingency and emergency situation. This buffer
margin takes care of any unplanned project, which at times crops-up as urgent due to uncertainties in life.
Hence, if the income is good then a relatively narrow buffer margin can also be kept. Therefore it is desirable
to increase the spending by increasing the income first as higher income is important for high spending.
9.9
Key Issues and Conclusion
The key issues and conclusions drawn on the basis of above financial analysis are as follows:
The income and expenditure of Govindgarh runs neck to neck, which creates limitations
The potential sources of internal revenue generation should be spruced-up and larger accruals
should be made
There is a need to properly account all the properties and tax them with adequate rates
Income from Water Tax & Charges also needs to be augmented with increasing number of built-in
area and increase in population and households
Expenditure should be made proportionate to the internal revenue generation capacity of
Govindgarh
Page 149

9.10 City Specific Strategies and Action Plan
Revenue collection needs to be computerized so that data is clearly monitored and defaults can be
identified on a periodic basis. Computerization of the system mainly includes three things:
o Financial and account
o Workshop: Solid Waste management & Street lightening
o Technical Development: In Water supply, roads networking etc.
Revision of user charges, property tax collection
Introduction of Asset Evaluation and Inventory Management System
Preparation of Demand Collection Balance at ward level
Funds for identified Towns/Cities would be released to the designated State Nodal Agency, which in
turn would leverage additional resources from the State Government
A revolving fund would be created to take care of operation and maintenance of various assets
created under the Mission
Arrangement of well-equipped necessary systems for implementing reforms and improving efficiency
of Govindgarh, which may include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and retrieval,
etc.
e- Governance should be incorporated in grievance redressal system.

feasible. To achieve this objective, State Governments, Urban Local Bodies and para-statal agencies will be
required to accept implementation of an agenda of reforms. The proposed reforms shall broadly fall into
two categories:-
Mandatory reforms
Optional reforms
All the mandatory and optional reforms shall be implemented by the State/ULB/Para-Statals within the
Scheme period.

11.8 Issues
There have been no mandatory reforms laid down for the town.
The municipal staff lacks in adequate awareness of the reform agenda and technical advancement.
The Nagar Parishad is not well equipped with the necessary systems for implementing reforms and
improving efficiency. Systems include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and
retrieval, etc. Most of the work happens in an ad-hoc manner without laid out procedures.
The Nagar Parishad needs to coordinate with Para-statals such as, Public Health Engineering
Department, Housing Board etc.
It has been found that while the local people have lots of problems and they want to participate and
bring to the notice to the authorities for their problems, the absence of a proper grievance redressal
system has made it very difficult for the local.
Low Efficiency of service delivery in various aspects such as extent of collection of property tax and
other taxes, poor maintenance of roads, poor sanitary conditions, inappropriate solid waste
management practices, inadequate street light provision, etc.
Lack of data/Information Base which could help in the development of area.
11.9 Town Specific Strategies and Action Plan
Private Sector Participation in development, management and financing of Urban Infrastructure

would be clearly delineated.
Funds for identified Towns/Cities would be released to the designated State Nodal Agency, which in
turn would leverage additional resources from the State Govt.
A revolving fund would be created to take care of operation and maintenance of various assets
created under the Mission.
Some demonstration/ presentation should be started to awareness municipal staff about reform
agenda and reforms.
Arrangement of well-equipped necessary systems for implementing reforms and improving efficiency
of Nagar Parishad, which may include new methods of register maintenance, data storage and
retrieval, etc.
A well framed coordinate system between Nagar Parishad and Para-statals should be designed for
better management.
e- Governance should be incorporated in grievance redressal system.
A rich Data/Information base arrangement should be maintain to address the specific problems and
solution for the same.

as per
standards
Provision of
community stand
posts in all slum
areas, public
places, parks, temples
100 percent water supply coverage which includes the present as well as the future demand by 2035.
Quality and quantity should be ensured as per the standards for the future population. The coverage
of the water supply system can be enhanced by providing community taps or stand posts in all slum
areas, public places and in recreation areas.
Page 188

Waste Water Management:

system
Provision of
community
toilet blocks
near public
places to ensure
sanitation
Decentralised
waste water
treatment
Presently there is no sewage disposal system in the town or most of the households have their own
arrangements for the disposal. Therefore for future efforts should be made to have 100 percent coverage for
waste water to minimize the sanitation problem of the town. In this regards, the following steps can
considered:
Community toilet blocks should be provided near riverside, market places, in slum areas and core
town areas where there is limited scope of expansion of the dwelling units to have toilet in it.
Provision of toilets in each house.
Sewage treatment system for treatment of the sewage before disposal.
There should be government interventions in providing toilets in urban poor settlements, in which
the government can act as a facilitator or provider.
Page 189
Storm Drainage:
Flood control measures

in low lying areas
Lining of all
natural drains or
nalas
100 percent
coverage of the
city
Covering of all
open drains or
nalas
Considering the present drainage system, the following goals would be set to minimize the adverse effect of
poor drainage system:
100 percent coverage of the town through proper drainage system by 2035.
Converting the kutcha nallas to pucca ones, covering of all open drains and lining of all natural drains
and nallas.
Encroachment on the low lying natural drainage channel should be minimized so that flow of water
will not be blocked.
Page 190

Solid Waste Management:
Provision of
sweepers, vehicles and
equipment as per
standards
100 percent
coverage of the
city
Sanitary land fill

and virmicomposting of
organic wastes
Treatment of solid
waste before disposal
Present solid waste system is not covering all parts of the town. So the future direction for solid waste
management would be as follows:
Covering the whole part of the town including the present as well as the future developments.
Special care should be given to manage wastes that are generated on any auspicious days on river
beds.
Segregation of hazardous wastes like bio medical waste, bio degradable waste etc. and treatment of
solid waste before disposal.
Encourage participation of NGOs or CBOs in solid waste management.

100 percent
coverage of the city places
to ensure safety for
the residents as
well as the tourists
Use of modern
technology, energy

like solar light.
Considering the present street lighting situation in the town, the future goals for 2035 would be:
Ensure 100 percent coverage in town to ensure safety and security for all the residents and the
tourists coming to the town.
Care should be given to provide street lights in public gathering spaces and recreation spaces like
lake, rivers, monuments and parks.
Use of modern power saving technology should be encouraged.
Page 192

Roads and Transportation:
Improve road and rail

connectivity
Improve public
bus stand facility
Improve existing road

network in terms of
road
surfacing, geometrics
and signals
Though there is opportunity for improved transportation system, there is lacking in the present road
networks and transport facilities. To improve the current situation and to address the future demand the
goals would be as follows:
Improvement of the existing road networks in terms of road geometry, road surfacing and traffic
signals etc.
For intra as well as inter-town movement public transport facilities should be improved.
Page 193

Slums:
Skill development and

economic upliftment
Ownership
rights
Slum Environment
Improvement
As slum is a major problem in the town. So the follows steps can be taken to make the town slum free.
Encouraging slum improvement schemes like improvement of physical i.e. water supply, drainage,
sanitation facilities as well as social infrastructure like education, health facilities in the slums.
Providing land ownership to the slum dwellers.
Involvement of NGOs should be encouraged for improvement of slums.
Community participation should be emphasized in any of the schemes launched by the govt. or
NGOs.
Page 194

Health Facilities:
Promoting
Health tourism
Facilitating
specialised medical
care
Increasing the number
of hospitals by making
available more land for
new hospitals, thereby
increasing beds and
doctors
The future goals for the health facilities would be as follows:
Providing land for new hospitals, increase beds and no, of doctors in the existing hospital and health
care centres.
Specialized medical services should be facilitated in the town.
By providing proper health facilities in the town, health tourism can be promoted in the area which
will serve the region and generate economy for the town.
Page 195

Education:
Facilitating vocational
training centres for
adult skill impartation
for gainful
employment / self
Facilitating provision employment
of more
schools, thereby
increasing no. of
seats and improving

opportunities
Considering the emerging issues and potentials the following goals would be derived for addressing the
future requirements:
Facilitating provision of more number of schools at the primary and secondary education level and
providing required infrastructure facilities for the sector.
For adult skill up gradation as well as self-employment opportunities, establishment of vocational

school should be encouraged.
Public awareness programmes should be encouraged in urban poor areas as they are not willing to
educate their children.

Having the great potential for tourism development in the town, the following goals can be derived for future
development in the sector:
River front development and lake/river based activities like water sports, theme park and boating
etc. to encourage tourism.
Promoting Town as a transit point for the surrounding tourism destination.
Facilitating infrastructure in terms of good connectivity, hotels and resorts to attract tourists.

For the economic up-liftment of the Town, the following goals can be set:
As the town is surrounded by large chunk of agricultural land, therefore agricultural based
commercial activities should be encouraged for the economic development of the town.
Forest based activities like selling of forest products can be another way of development economy of
the people.
As Town has high potential for tourism development, so tourism related activities like hotel industry,
tourist transportation should be encourage to form a major source of income generation activity for
many people.
Page 198

12.2 Town Vision
The vision for Town has been evolved as under:
To develop a commercial town which is economically vibrant, ecologically sustainable and environmentally
pleasing; a town which will meet the aspirations of the local residents as well as the tourists alike and is
manageable.
Economically
Vibrant
A
Commercial
Hub
Ecologically
Sustainable
Environmentally
Pleasing
In order to achieve the above vision, strategies have been suggested in the next chapter. Ultimately, these
strategies would be translated into tangible projects which would be viable and implementable.
12.3 Town Positioning

Town has been positioned as a commercial hub by boosting local economy and at the same time also
showcasing various cultural as well as natural assets. This strategy has been adopted on account of the fact
that there is a great potential for Town to emerge as a commercial destination, given the fact that it has
excellent rail connectivity and rail infrastructure. At the same time, there are various natural assets such as
the forests, river and lake water and national parks nearby. This positioning of the town can give the town a
much needed boost for the local economy and lead to prosperity and economic vibrancy.

Economic Rejuvenation:
Commercial Activities There are many agro based activities which are related to agricultural
produce. There is a need to boost this area by creating suitable structures so that more people find
gainful self-employment in these activities. For this, it is necessary that land be allotted for creating
facilities for manufacture, storage, display and sale of these products.
Tourism Related Activities The water bodies and other tourist attractions have not been
adequately developed. It is proposed that once these are developed in the form of tourist circuits,
with transportation linkages, boarding and lodging facilities and other related tourism infrastructure,
with adequate marketing and publicity, tourism could be promoted in this region. The water bodies
can also be an area for development of parks, boating and water sport activities. This can also have a
spin off in terms of forward and backward linkages and employment generation for the local
population.
Religious Activities The local temples and parks are held in great reverence by the local
population and regularly, festivals and functions are held. Therefore, proper developments of these
sites along with facilities for the pilgrims are needed so as to cater to the local sentiments of the
people.
Infrastructure Development
There cannot be two opinions on the fact that the civic infrastructure of Town needs to be improved. The
strategy for this is to urgently undertake projects, as identified later in this chapter, so that the required
facilities and amenities area provided to the residents in a timely manner so that the basic quality of life can
be achieved.
Slum Improvement
Page 200

Slum improvement has to form a central part of town improvement. The strategy for improving the slums is
to upgrade them in-situ. There is a need to prepare a detailed plan for improving the slums and it is
suggested that tenure rights may be granted to the dwellers that do not have the title so that they are able
to upgrade their shelter on their own as there is no fear of eviction.
Governance and Reforms

For the local administration to implement all the projects under the town development plan in the first
instance and later, to maintain the new assets created thereby, it is necessary that the Nagar Parishad be
strengthened. Operations, particularly revenue collection needs to be computerized so that data is clearly
monitored and defaults can be identified on a periodic basis. This would help in proper resource
mobilization. Further, migration from a fund based or cash based system of accounting to a double entry
accounting mechanism is also a must. To do this at a later stage would be more time consuming and difficult.
Therefore, when the municipality is small, it is better to put the modern systems and computerization of
service delivery in place.

1.1. Background
Madhya Pradesh offers outstanding opportunity to indulge in various tourism options such as cultural tourism,
heritage tourism, adventure tourism, wildlife tourism and many more. A variety of traditions in each of
Madhya Pradesh's four geographical and cultural regions-Malwa, Nimad, Baghelkhand and Bundelkhand
have added color to the State's rich cultural tapestry, making it a many splendoured land. There are many
deserving tourist destinations in the State widely acclaimed for its rich cultural heritage sites and wonders.
Heritage tourism is one of the most popular options of tourism appealing tourists from all over the world.
Though, heritage Tourism has great potential in Govindgarh city. It has heritage structures like Govindgarh
fort, temples with unique architecture forms, royal history, fairs and festivals, history of white tigers,
bountiful nature with Raja Talab and Rani Talab, Sunder ban, easily accessible national wild life sanctuary
and dam, etc.
Govindgarh falls under Jabalpur KhujrahoRewaGovindgarhBandhavgarhJabalpur circuit. Despite
it ideal location within the tourism circuit with rich inventory of tourism resources, this region Lacks
Tourism infrastructure such as Tourist Information Centers, transportation facilities, public conveniences such
as toilets, refreshment centers, information Centre etc. Further, being located in isolation in terms of
development, the region is facing challenges, which directly and indirectly curb the growth of tourism. The
existing infrastructure, safety & Security, local awareness and others are the major hindrance for the
development of the tourism in this region.
The Govindgarh region receives very few numbers of tourists in comparison to other destination of tourism
circuits. Despite its strategic location within the circuit, city has not been developed as a nodal Centre as base
city to cater tourist for its facilities. The existing infrastructure is inadequate to support tourism in the region
and it needs urgent up gradation. The region has wide range of tourism products, which need to be integrated
and made an intra-circuit to increase the duration of stay of the Tourists in the region. Govindgarh city has
great potential in the region to cater tourist from the circuit i.e. KhujrahoRewaGonindgarh
BandhavgarhJabalpur.
Integrating with other destination, Govindgarh can be converted as a transit zone between Khajuraho and
Varanasi or Bandhavgarh.
Hence, immense potential for developing Govindgarh as one of the destination with heritage, scenic beauty
and religious node, need to be fully exploited. In terms of improving the tourism product, in the short term
quick gains can be made by developing the destination and providing basic infrastructure facilities at various
tourist locations and at city level with high potential, which are already well connected and have a reasonable
infrastructure in place.
1.2. Madhya Pradesh Tourism and Heritage Policy
The State Tourism Policy, Heritage Tourism Policy and Eco and Adventure Tourism Policies of the State
supported with initiatives towards strengthening of infrastructure and facilities at places of tourist interests is
an important indicator of commitment of the GoMP to create an environment conducive for attracting
increased private investment in the tourism sector. In accordance with the aims and objectives of the Tourism
Policy of the State and the provisions made towards development of tourism sector, the Government of MP,
Department of Tourism has issued a Policy for the Allotment of Government Land for the Development of
Tourism in the State.
The Madhya Pradesh Department of Tourism has, to date, sought to develop the tourism potential of the State
by involving itself in three major activities: Providing decent accommodation in areas of tourism interest,
operating a transport fleet of coaches, cars and Gypsies, and organizing package tours. Publicity and
marketing of tourist destinations and facilities has also been a major thrust activity. Apart from these efforts
undertaken by the Government, the private sector has also contributed by way of investment in hotels,
transport, and marketing of some important tourist destinations in the State. However, the efforts of the
Government and the private sector have not been dovetailed into a common developmental programme, with
the result that there has been overemphasis at certain venues, while some other important places and activities
have been neglected.
The Tourism Policy envisages creation of an environment conducive to attracting increased private
investment in the tourism sector, and a more meaningful role for the Government. The focus will be on i)
Improvement and creation of adequate basic infrastructure- land, road, water, electricity etc. ii) Up gradation
and augmentation of accommodation, catering and recreational facilities, iii) Augmentation of transport
facilities, iv) Marketing of destinations to ensure optimal use of infrastructure, v) Establishing and
strengthening institutions for the development of human resources, vi) Evolving suitable policies for
increasing foreign exchange earnings, vii) Promotion of the arts and crafts of the State.
One of the objectives of the Tourism Policy of Madhya Pradesh announced in 1995 was to convert the
heritage wealth of the State i.e. forts, palaces, havelis and kothis into heritage hotels. Later, Madhya Pradesh
Heritage Tourism Policy-2002 also envisages and set urgent needs for restoration of these beautiful buildings
are unable to attract tourists in large numbers.
1.3. Places of Tourist Interest in and Around the City
The Tourism Products in Govindgarh can broadly be classified into those based on the Heritage Tourism,
Religious Centers/ Pilgrim centres, handicraft and Wild-life Tourism in Panna National Park in the
surrounding. The city has many places for tourist attraction i.e. Govindgarh Fort, Sunder Van, Durga Temple,
Lal Bagh, Raja talab, Rani Talab etc.
1.3.1. Govindgarh Fort
The Govindgarh palace used to have security like a well protected fort. The stately palace of Gobindpur on
the banks of the Lake houses, a police training school and Baghela museum is running now.
The island, nestled in the Lake also showcases a wonderful palace. The doorway of this beguiling palace
however is closed for the general public.
An underground tunnel is also there which was used as a secret path for kings between Govindgarh & Rewa.
1.3.2. Lal Bagh

The Lal Bagh area is famous for its Sunderja Mango garden. The area is also known for its lush green beauty.
Lal Bagh is situated on the bank of raja Talab near to Govindgarh Fort. The Sunderja Mangoes of the
Govindgarh are famous in the country. The people of the area are decent and have higher human values. The
law and order situation of the area is also good. This is being developed as a future tourist destination to
attract International Tourists.
1.3.3. Temples in Govindgarh
Ram Govind Temple, Panchmukhi Temple, Chowandi Temple, Shiv Temple and Hanuman Temple are the
major temple in Govindgarh city. All the mentioned temples are located nearby Govindgarh Fort. It is also
believed that the name Govindgarh was based on the Govind Temple now situated within the Govind Garh
Fort Premises.
Khando Devi temple is another major temple at a distance of 2 Km. from the Govindgarh City. Khando is
famous for its beautiful topography because in rainy season the area is known for its natural beauty and it
attracts maximum tourists in this season.
1.3.4. Raja Talab (Lake) and Rani Talab
Raja Talab is located just behind the Govindgarh Fort. This beautiful lake was prepared by Baghela Kings. It
is a lake which is known for its scenic beauty and lush green surroundings. This lake plays an important role
in helping irrigation as well as in gound water recharge. Fish farming (pisciculture) is also done in these
talabs. Raja lake has a facility of boating at the time of Khando Devi Temple fair because it is also near to
Khando Devi Temple (2 Km.).
1.3.5. Famous for White Tigers
The first white tiger, Mohan, was captured in 1951 in the nearby jungles of Govindgarh, was kept in this
palace till his death. The unusual coloration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment
showcasing exotic animals. The white tigers are known as Royal White Tigers, and this is associated with
the Maharaja of Rewa.
Rewa. After hunting for months, he was able to capture the first living white tiger seen in nature. With help
from official veterinary experts, he unsuccessfully tried to breed the white tiger with colored female tigers.
Eventually, however, he succeeded in creating a second generation of white tigers. In time, it expanded
around the world.
1.3.6. Tourist Places nearby Govindgarh

The Bandhavgarh National Park is located in the Vindhya
range in central India this park was formed on 1968. The
National park holds the highest density of tigers due to its rich evergreen forest with trees like Sal & Bamboo

desination. Gurgi Kalchuri is an important Heritage Site, has lots of
reminiscence of the Fort & temples of Kalchuri rulers (6th to 12th century).

Keonti Falls
The Keoti Falls is on the Mahana River, a tributary of Tamsa or Tons
River as it comes down from the Rewa Plateau. It has a total height of
98 metres (322 ft. The World Waterfall Database puts the height of the
waterfall at 130 metres (430 ft). is one of the major waterfall in India. It
is situated at 42 km from Rewa.
Sirmaur
Figure 2: Keonti Fall
Sirmaur is situated at 57 km from Rewa. Kyoti Garhi is one of the major destination in Sirmaur which made
by Yuvraj Nagmal, 2nd son of Baghel (17th ) Maharaj, Shaliwahan Singh Ju Deo between 1605-10 A.D.
Presently this Garhi is with M.P. Archeological Dept. The Garhi overlooks a 270 feet deep gauge making a
water fall on the river Mahana, but is in a very bad shape & needs to be developed as a tourist spot as the
place holds great potential. Besides, Garhi, Laua Kothi, Dev Talab, Shiv Temple Dev Talab, Naigarhi Kothi
Naigarhi, Semaria Garhi, Laxmanbagh Temple, and Deur Kothar Buddist Stupa are other destination.
Other Destination
There are many rock painting Rock painting scattered around the region such as Khando samuh, Gaddi
samuh, Shivpurva samuh, Itar samuh, Badwar samuh, Jaldar samuh, Ledroghat samuh, Ginjwa samuh, Quoti
samuh, Hanuman samuh etc.
1.4. Arts & Crafts

1.4.1. Handicrafts / Articrafts & Other Human Resources in the Region:Madhya Pradesh is also known for its carpets where Rewa is one of the centres in the state. The toys made out
of Beatle nut are very rare and famous in this area, which cant be got anywhere else. Except these there are
many women who are involved in bangle making and other artistic works. Ahir (Yadav) & Kali are the main
folk dances of this area. Most of the dishes made in this area are based on dals (Lenten) and hence very
nutritious and less spicy in character.
1.5. Existing Status of Major Tourist Destinations
Cleanliness in the surrounding areas is not been taken care of which effects the number of tourists visiting the
place. Landscaping, where ever open spaces are available has not been done and the spaces been left unseen.
Haphazard vegetative growth provides negative impression on the tourists. No safety measure like provision
of guards on most of the temples has been taken.
Direct discharge of sewage from domestic sources, not connected to treatment plants; eventually make its way
into existing water bodies i.e. Raja Talab and Rani Talab.
Lack of public utilities, proper information, water facility, refreshment counters and above all parking spaces
in or around most of the temple complexes affects the number of visitors at such places.

1.6. Efforts for conservation of Heritage Sites

1.7. Tourist Arrival
Tourism has been identified as one of the key drivers of growth by the MP government. Eight million
domestic tourists and 160,000 foreigners visited the state in 2005-06. The government has approved $12.2
million for development of 17 tourist locations across the state and is also making concrete efforts to improve
air connectivity to other states. It has taken initiatives to promote eco and adventure tourism and is keen on
promoting medical/ herbal tourism in association with private parties.
There is no record for tourist visiting various temples and forts in Govindgarh. There is no entrance ticket
system prevailing either at the main entrance of forts or at any of the temples. This is the major handicap in
estimating the accurate tourists influx at Govindgarh.
Despite, presence of historical building and temple, the city does not fall within any tourism circuit in the
state. Tourism prospect of Govindgarh can be viewed with the development of city infrastructure and existing
tourism destination to make a complete circuit with the Bandhavgarh-Govindgarh-Rewa as sub circuit of
Bandhavgarh - Chitrakoot-Khujario. Chitrakoot receives maximum number of visitors i.e. 9.1 million (2008)
followed by Khajuraho ( 0.27 million) and Bandhagarh (0.09 million).

It is assumed that a significant number of tourists will be attracted and diverted to Rewa from Khajuraho,
Chitrakoot and Bandhavgarh, if proper tourism supported infrastructure and strong marketing is done.
1.8. Assessment of Tourism Supported Infrastructure
Tourism Development of any destination cannot be accomplished without proper development of support
infrastructure facilities including accessibility, accommodation, water supply, sanitation, power and drainage.
In Govindgarh city, very limited infrastructure is developed. Except approach road, small shops and drinking
water non on the infrastructure are available like Toilet facility, Solid waste Management, Street Lightning
etc. at the tourist spots.
1.8.1. Transportation
There is good network of roads connecting all the major parts of the state with Govindgarh. The State
Highway 9 and State Highway 52 connect Govindgarh with major cities of Madhya Pradesh. Govindgarh is
not directly connected to railway line. The nearest railway station is Rewa junction at a distance of 20 Km.
The nearest airport is Satna Airport at a distance of 54 km. which has an airstrip, however not in use for
regular fights followed by Bamrauli (Defense Air Base) in Uttar Pradesh which is approximately 161 km.
from Govindgarh.
1.8.2. Accommodations (Regional Level)
At town level, Govindgarh doesnt have any hotel facility to accommodate the peoples or tourists. But at
district headquarter Rewa; there are nearly 497 beds in 24 various categories of Accommodation. Besides this,
the Rewa city has nearly 5-6 Dharmshalas, which accommodates nearly 4-500 people in total. A three Star
level hotel namely Hotel Rewa Raj Vilas (owned by Maharaja Rewa) is situated in the heart of city.
1.9. Suggested Action Programmes
1.9.1. Key Concern Areas for Tourism Development

Tourism Development Option & Strategies
Despite its strategic location within the tourism circuit, Govindgarh city has not been developed as a nodal
centre or as a base city to cater tourist for its facilities. In the tourism circuit of Jabalpur Bhedaghat
Mandla Kanha Bandhavgarh and Khajurahu-Panna/Bandhavgarh-Chitrakoot, Bandhavgarh and Panna is a
major Tourist node in the region after Chitrakoot and Khajurahu. Govindgarh can play a major tourist node or
base town to support tourist with its supported infrastructure. Presently, infrastructure is inadequate to support
tourism in the region, and it needs urgent upgradation. Further, an integrated circuit can be formed
considering Panna, Bandhavgarh and Sanjay National Park as part of Natural and Wildlife tourist and
Govindgarh and Rewa to support as base facilitation centre. The region has wide range of tourism products,
which need to be integrated and made an intra-circuit to increase the duration of stay of the Tourists in the
region. Govindgarh city has great potential in the region to cater tourist from the circuit. This elevated status
of Bandhavgarh as base can be retained, till a few of the tourist destinations in and around Govindgarh
region to develop their own tourist facilities. Some of the destinations like Govindgarh Fort, Khando Devi etc.
can be raised to the status of sub - nodes, with adequate improvement of infrastructure and development of
new tourism product based on Fort and the Lake. Govindgarh plays an important role in the form of Natural
& Wildlife tourism.
The City of Govindgarh has many locations for attracting tourist of various segments including religious,
heritage tourism. In the nearest towns of Govindgarh, Rewa is one of the art and craft centre in the region and
also a major city for providing lodging and boarding facilities.
At present city is devoid of basic tourism supported infrastructure such as tourism information centre, basic
amenities at destinations within the city as well as accommodation of attracting high end tourism. Some
associated cultural activity areas like Govindgarh Fort, Raja Talab (lake) and Khando Devi Temple area can
be developed which will form an integrated cultural circuit. The immense potential for developing
Govindgarh as one of the destination with heritage and religious destination, it needs to be fully exploited. In
terms of improving the tourism product, in the short term quick gains can be made by developing the
destination and providing basic infrastructure facilities at locations with high potential, which are already well
connected and have a reasonable infrastructure in place.
Figure 3: Major Tourist circuits around the Govindgarh city

The overall tourism development of Govindgarh Region can be segmented into two levels
a) Major Tourism Circuits -Though there are many tourism attractions scattered around the Govindgarh City
linking Rewa, Bandhavgarh National Park etc.
b) Minor Tourism Circuits- the Cultural (Heritage) and religious tourism destinations located within the city
includes Govindgarh Fort, Ram Govind Temple, Panchmukhi temple and other temple and heritage can be
integrated within this Mega Tourism Project.
Govindgarh as a tourist needs to be a co-ordinated effort to improve the quality and range of public realm
spaces, heritage sites and temples and other facilities. The emphasis of this is on Govindgarh Nagar Parishad
for overall development of the city.
Overall Development of Govindgarh Town- Govindgarh has great potential for tourism development. Planned
tourism development in Govindgarh would significantly increase domestic and foreign tourist arrivals and
attract their long duration visits. This would result in their higher spending for various facilities and services
within the region. This would directly boost up trade and commerce, transport sectors and other service
sectors. Studies show that tourism is one sector having the highest multiplier effect. Tourism can trigger off
development in many supporting sectors and create a large number of employment opportunities.
1.11.
Recommended Tourism Development Proposals
Considering all these aspects, the activities can be well planned and organised to enhance tourist attraction by
providing;
a) Site attractiveness /enhancement Projects
Conservation of Govindgarh Fort, Raja Talab and development of basic amenities to the tourist.
Development of tourist infrastructure at Khando Devi temple.
Provide large open areas and street furniture in the city.
b) Additional attractiveness
Waterfront Development
Shopping arcade with Cafeteria selling art materials, dance materials, other essential articles for
students, schools & visitors.
c) Site specific critical infrastructure project
A comprehensive Master Plan of the area needs to be prepared.
Provision of designated paid parking areas for tourist buses, cars and other vehicles.
d) Development Guidelines and control
Programmes based on development guidelines and also enforcement controls.
e) Marketing
Defining Tourism Circuit in the State, adding Govindgarh as one of the cultural centre
1.12.
Action Programme
The action program aims to specify and define potential areas of tourist attractions where wide ranges of
tourism products can be provided, enhancing the attractiveness by augmenting existing core activities by
providing additional activities and improve connectivity and access to already tourist attraction at a subdued
10
level. The objective is to support regenerate and upgrade the existing attraction through augmenting core
activities by providing additional activities.
1.13.
Selective Development of Heritage site
This project should include Conservation measures, planned development and upkeep of the environment,
designed lighting facilities and provision of tourists/ visitor facilities. Govindgarh town has mainly
Govindgarh Fort which is important from heritage point of view and need to be conserved.
Conservation Master Plan for the Govindgarh fort and environments is to be prepared. Archaeological
Survey of India (ASI) and State Archaeological Department has been mainly concentrating on the
conservation it could not make the monument attractive with proper landscaping and providing basic
amenities. M.P. Tourism in this respect can play meaningful role to refurbish it and make it very attractive.
The conservation master plan shall cover following components:
o Delineation of the Central core (Govindgarh Fort), historical temples and Raja Talab area to be
considered under Conservation Plan. Conservation of identified heritage buildings/areas and
preparation of conservation guidelines.
o Preparation of land use plan for conservation area
o General landscape plan for the area
o Design and location for every component of street furniture
o Waste management plan, which could be considered as part of town level waste management plan.
o Architectural and Development Control Regulations (DCR)
o Development of Urban Design concept and streetscape.
Development of Govindgarh Fort and Raja/Rani Talab area- Govindgarh Fort area is to be developed as an
integrated cultural zone and this will attract tourists.
Construction of public convenience and safe drinking water facilities within the fort complex
Establishing `Light and Sound shows
Construction of Entrance Gate: The entrance Gate of monument, which helps to form the first
impression of what, is inside. An artistically designed gateway by incorporating architectural elements
should be provided at the site.
1.14. City Level Green spaces and Parks
The City lacks in proper green spaces and the presently gardens are not attractive it requires redevelopment.
There is need of park development.
i) Establishment of Regional Park- Regional Park may be developed at Khando Devi temple. The landscape
may incorporate meandering pathways, seating places, concealed low-intensity lighting, etc. The facilities
will also include Refreshment centre, Toilets, drinking water facilites and Landscaped Garden
ii) Development of garden including landscaping- Establish Landscaped park near to Govindgarh fort because
there is availability of water from Raja talab.
1.15.
i.
Enhancement and Up-gradation of City Level Infrastructure

Designated Parking facilities
a. Provision of designated paid parking areas for tourist buses, cars and other vehicles.
b. Provision of designated taxi and auto stands in at least 2 or 3 locations in the central area.

ii.
iii.

v.
1.16.
Clock rooms and pay - use toilets for men and women at a minimum of 3 locations by the side
Construct pay & use toilets in places of public assembly and also in tourist locations. It should be
made mandatory for all shopping areas and restaurants having more than a specified built up area to
provide public toilet facilities, which may also be maintained on, pay & use basis. The major roads
may also be provided with wayside coin operated toilets, at least in major urban centers. The models
adopted by Sulabh Sauchalaya in many towns and cities are worth mentioning in this context. The
local self-governments, both urban and rural, should be made to think and act on these lines.
Charming garden with lush green landscape will add elegance to the whole town. The tourist
complexes should be properly landscaped in a manner compatible with the environmental character of
the surroundings. No construction should commence without having secured the consent of the
appropriate authority for the provision of infrastructural services, i.e electricity, telephone, road
access, water, etc.
Designed Electrical & telephone poles in the area should be replaced with artistically designed
beautiful ancient looking poles. Stone Benches with shade. The benches in the heritage area should be
artistically designed.
Tourist Facility & Information Centre
Establish tourist facility centre including tourist information centre, toilet and drinking water facilities
and conventional shops near Govindgarh Fort.
Development of Raja/Rani talab (lake)
The landscape in this part is exceedingly scenic and offers the potential for excellent development of Water
based tourism. Lake offers pleasure boating facilities. However, any resort that may be developed here should
follow the characteristics of the site. The architecture should respect the characteristics of vernacular
architecture, and in any way, should not cause visual conflict with the surrounding nature.
Water sports based tourism, especially related to boating. This would help in development of water sports like
water scooter, water skiing, etc. Restaurants, toilets, shops, sports gear renting outlets etc. catering to tourists
have to be developed in this area as part of the Project.
1.17.
SWOT Analysis
Strength
Govindgarh having many heritage and tourist
centers.
Number of tourist increasing with time.

also near to Rewa Junction.
Govindgarh having many water bodies and
religious centers also attracts tourist.
Weakness
Non- maintained heritage buildings.
No proper connectivity to some of the tourist centers.
Poor existing infrastructure.
Threat
Un-maintained heritage site might result into ruined
structures.
Inadequate infrastructure & connectivity may leads to
decline in tourist flow.

Best Practice
Box: 0.1: Heritage Conservation Gohar mahal Restoration & Reuse as Craft centre
Background:
Bhopal is the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and the administrative headquarters of Bhopal District and Bhopal
Division. The city was the capital of the former Bhopal state. Bhopal is also known as the Lake City for its various natural as well as
artificial lakes and is one of the greenest cities in India.
Gohar Mahal is situated in the banks of the magnificent Upper Lake. It is one of
the beautiful palaces in Bhopal. Gohar Mahal is an architectural marvel, which
presents a perfect blend of Hindu and Mughal Architecture.
It is constructed by
Kudasia Begum in
1819 AD and due to
unmaintained
conditions; it has
become
degraded
and dilapidated.
Key Components of the Projects:
To recover that condition detailed documentation and condition
assessment of the building has been done and prepared a restoration and
reuse proposal by INTACH. It also involved community in the redevelopment process to know their views and perception.
The palace has been restored and maintained the original fabric and construction details of the buildings. New functions will be
introduced to convert the complex into an Urban Haat to showcase the local craft and a cuisine. This project has been supported by
DC H&H, Government of India and MPHHVN, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh.
Lesson Learned:
Complete participation of the community at all stages.
Conservation as a tool to promote development and improve living standards.
Close partnerships with national and local government bodies as well as with international funding agencies.

Ram Govind Temple
Panchmukhi Temple
Chowandi Temple
Shiv Temple
Hanuman Temple
Khando Devi
Raja Talab
Rani Talab
Sunder Van
Religious
Water Bodies
Govindgarh Fort
Rani Talab
(Lake)
Unfortunately, the town has not been able to capitalize its potential in this sector.
Lack of sufficient and efficient modes of transportation, infrastructure services in town that can hold the
tourist.
Issues
Lack of economic activities which causes migration of people to other cities.
Rich natural and architectural heritage (Govindgarh Fort) without proper

management.
Lack of conservation of the heritage structure of the town i.e. Govindgarh Fort.
Town doesnt have a dumping site, as a result waste is disposed into open drains
and along the roads (along SH-52). It is a cause of pollution in water bodies.
Lack of Tourist Infrastructure i.e. hotels, market, information centres, parking

etc.
SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Literacy rate of town has increased continuously over
the years.
Rich heritage and natural beauty (Govindgarh fort

and Raja Talab).
Matsya Palan is emerging as new activity in the

town (in ward 15).

Govindgarh Fort can be developed and conserved as
major tourist site for the locals as well as for
domestic tourism.
Town has potential of developing as a tourist centre
for its hinterland.
Town has a great royal history which can be used.
WEAKNESS
Female literacy rate is low as compared to male.
resources.
THREAT
Shifting of workers from primary to tertiary might
result into reduction in agricultural production.
Improper infrastructure services, local awareness and
un-developed lake front etc. are major hindrance for
the development of the tourism.

GOVINDGARH: Future GROWTH POSSIBILITIES
SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Most of the people have their own houses, which are pucca in
nature.
Cheaply available abundant agricultural land for new developments

(in ward 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 14).
WEAKNESS
More than 50% of the houses do not have pucca floor.
The town has good connectivity (SH 52 and SH 9), making it an

emerging town.
Half of the area in the town is undeveloped.
OPPORTUNITY
Water front development and recreational spaces development
(Raja/Rani Talab).
Good possibilities of residential development due to presence of
suitable agricultural land, social infrastructure and commercial
centres ((in ward 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 14).
Better quality housing demand and cheap land values can attract
real estate developers for development of new townships in
peripheral areas (mainly along SH-52 and SH-9).
Opportunity of tourism sector is very high and it can generate

economy for local people.
Low and slow growth pattern.

Development is concentrated mainly along the transportation line
i.e. SH 52 & SH 9.
No existing norms and guidelines for conservation of heritage
structures and water bodys conservation (Govindgarh Fort,
Raja/Rani Talab).
THREAT
Land encroachments are common along SH 52 and SH 9 especially
in commercial areas (mainly in ward 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12).
Unplanned water front development (Raja Talab) may result into
water spreading and other issues in the nearby areas.
Absence of Urban Land Management Policy.
Threat to the forest and wildlife existing in the town.
Threat to the sculptures and heritage due to slackness.
Threat to the water body (Raja Talab/Rani Talab); if not conserved
will spoil the beauty of the Southern Part of the town.

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTH
Good quality of water is available from all the sources
(ground water and Raja Talab).
WEAKNESS
Both the 2 OHTs (in ward 10) are not functional due to leakage
problem.
The surface water (Raja Talab and Rani Talab) is

available throughout the year to fulfil the water
requirement of town.
Lack of technical/ skilled man power to handle the system.
Ground water level is at lesser depths and is

replenished by the rains during monsoon.
Present per capita supply is 27.9 LPCD, which is very less as

compared to the standard of 135 LPCD as per UDPFI Guidelines.
Inadequate water supply connections at household level, there are

only 384 water connections.
THREAT
There are several drains/ storm water drains out falling in the water
bodies (mainly in ward 15).
OPPORTUNITY
Surface water is available throughout the year.
Two over head tanks are present (in ward 10) which
can be repaired, thereby increase the storage capacity.
Opportunity to supply 24 hours water supply by

providing better services revised tariff well be
acceptable by the people.
Rain water harvesting can be introduced.
Detailed layout plans and drawings of water supply distribution lines

are not available, making future planning difficult.

Strategies and action plans

Raja Talab could be the source of water in Govindgarh town after its water treatment (water
treatment plant in ward 15).
It is therefore proposed to prepare a fresh Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the development of
Water Supply System in Govindgarh Nagar Parishad.
Leakage detection studies; repair, replacement or rehabilitation of old/defunct system
including 2 OHTs (in ward 10) should be under taken to enhance the present water distribution
system.
Extension of water pipeline to un-served areas (outer areas of ward 1, 3, 5, 6 and 14) thereby
ensuring 100% water supply network coverage.

Issues
All the grey matter of the sewerage is disposed off in the Nallah and this nallahs water get mixed in the pond
located in ward no 5.
Grey water from ward 10 and 15 get mixed in Rani Talab.
Town doesn't have the facility of mud-pump.
Unmaintained limited no. of public urinals and public toilets (only 2 which are located in ward 10 and 12)
Wide spread practice of open defecation as about 84% of household does not have in-house toilet facilities.
Swot analysis
STRENGTH
Town has good natural slope i.e. South west to north east.
WEAKNESS
No underground sewerage system for the town.
Land availability for sewerage treatment plant (in ward 5 and 6).
No treatment plant for treating sewage generated.

Limited number of public toilets. There is need of around 15
public toilet (one in each ward).
Low levels of income of urban poor prohibits them to make

capital expenditure on development of toilet units and their
maintenance.

Drainage system
At present the town does not have a comprehensive and effective drainage system and facility of treatment
plant.
Along the SH 9, 52 and other major roads of town, drains have been constructed.
The drainage condition survey in the town indicates that the drainage network in Govindgarh is open and
unorganized.
Most of the drains do not have capacity to flow the waste water as they are damaged and remain chocked due
to presence of gray matter and disposal of solid waste in it (mainly in ward 4, 11 and 12).
Low lying areas in ward nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in the southern side of the Govindgarh town are
major flood prone areas of town.

As the Raja Talab and Rani
Talab are located in the

and 15 in the southern side of
the town Govindgarh are
major flood prone areas of
town.
Swot analysis
STRENGTH
Strong desire of citizens to develop a fresh
drainage system for town.
Town has a natural slope towards south west
to north east which is favourable for
development of drainage system which will
also help in cost reduction.
OPPORTUNITY
Making rainwater harvesting in commercial
and residential plots mandatory.
Availability of land for the development of

waste water treatment plant (in ward 9
and15).
WEAKNESS
Detailed layout drawings of drainage network
are not available. Hence, making future
planning difficult.
THREAT
Health hazards due to negligence for
cleanliness.
Contamination of lake water due to discharge

of untreated waste water (in ward 15).

Traffic and transportation

The town Govindgarh is located on SH 52 and 9 (accounting for 5.36 km of road length of town)
connecting Sidhi to Rewa and Satna.
There is no direct railways connectivity to the town and the nearest railway station is in the district
headquarter which is Rewa around 20 km through SH 9.
At present there is no intra city public transport system exists in Govindgarh.
The town also has one bus stand which has a capacity of around 5 buses (in ward 10).
Issues
Great pressure on major roads (SH 52 and SH 9) since all the major commercial activities, important
institutions etc. are concentrated along these roads.
Rampant encroachment, on-street parking on SH 52 leading to reduced ROW and carriageway
resulting in slow movement of traffic and congestion in core area.
Existing bus terminal is very small (in ward 10); not being used by bus operators because of paucity of
space in making entry and exit due to informal development, inefficient road width.
Narrow streets in the core areas (in ward 4, 10, 11 and 12) need to be widened through proper planning
and addressing the encroachment problems.
Gomati Chouraha (in ward 12) is a congested area and there is a need for junction improvement.

mainly resides in ward no. 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14 and 15 of the town.
Out of the total slum population (2264); nearly 70% population (i.e. 1585) accounts for Below
Poverty Line (BPL) population.
The shelter conditions are very scruffy in the selected pockets. The majorities of the houses in these
slums areas are made of mud and wattle with burnt mud tiles (Khapra) and iron sheet roofs.
Many of these houses lack basic amenities such as toilet, power, water, open spaces etc. and have
katcha houses.
Most of the residents of the slum obtain their water from Municipal Hand pumps.
The existing condition of surface drainage is a mess in the whole slum pocket.
At present the main type of sanitation in these slum areas is the pit latrine.
All the roads in the selected slums are narrow tracks eroded by runoff water.
There are 4 dustbins in the selected slum areas (In ward 1, 5 and 15).
Only one school in slum areas is located (in ward no. 15) which is not sufficient to educate the
people including slum population at town level.
