Executive Summary
Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY), a path breaking scheme announced by Government of India for the slum
dwellers and urban poor envisages a Slum-free India through encouraging States to tackle the
problem of slums in a holistic manner. The Government of Tamil Nadu has adopted the scheme for
implementation with a vision to build 1.00 lakhs houses in a period (2014-22) at a cost of Rs.7500
Crores and nominated Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board as the State Level Nodal Agency for
RAY.
A Slum Free City Plan of Action (SFCPoA) is an important instrument for cities to attain the
objective of RAY. It is a citywide plan of action which consists of two parts, a plan to bring about the
improvement of the existing slums (Curative Strategy) through the participation of the existing slum
dwellers and strategies for prevention of future slum (Preventive Strategy). This shall be done by
conducting detailed Socio Economic Surveys of the Slums in the Cities.
Cities with more than 1 Lakhs population shall be covered under RAY. However, to start with ,the
Government of India have released fund for taking up survey works in the following 10 Corporation

Constituted in the year 1798, it is also the second oldest corporation in the world. The jurisdiction of
the Chennai Corporation was expanded from 176 Sq. km (67 sq miles) to an area of 426 Sq.km (164
sq. miles), dividing into three regionsNorth, South and Central, which covers 15 Zones consisting
of 200 wards.
The preparation of SFCPoA for a large City like Chennai would require massive data and collection
of the same will take long time. Therefore it has been suggested that we had prepared SFCPoA for
each Zone separately and aggregate them for the whole city. Also we had addressed the Curative
strategies part of the plan Zone wise and prepared Preventive strategies part of the plan for the whole
city.
Based on the outcome of the survey, we had prepared the Slum Free City Plan of Action for Chennai
Corporation. Out of 2173 slums identified till February 2014 in Chennai City, 3,04,980 slum
households living in 1131 slums in 15 Zones have been surveyed as on February 2014 and presented
Zone wise and Ward wise based on which Draft SFCPoA prepared

Investment Requirements
The overall project costing for Chennai Corporation for housing and infrastructure provision is worked out to be Rs.32369.98 Crores. The costing for
Housing is worked out to convert Kutcha & Semi Pucca houses in each slum into Pucca. Infrastructure requirement of each slum is arrived and from which
the infrastructure costing is worked out.
One Community hall and one ICDS center is proposed to be developed for each zone. Chennai has 15 zones and hence 15 Community hall and 15 ICDS
center is proposed to be developed in a phased manner. Total Investment of Rs.543.83 Crores is estimated for this purpose proposed to be implemented
during the year 2022.

1 INTRODUCTION
Owing to rapid urbanization in and around the town, large influx of the migrants has been observed,
which has resulted in formation of slums. The town presents a wide range of activities in various
Institutional, Commercial and Tourism sectors. Growth in such activities, possibilities of absorption in
various service sectors, scope of employment in trade and business activities, hawking, retailing, carting
etc. could have attracted rural poor to the town.
The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) is the responsible authority for providing self-
contained hygienic tenements. In addition, TNSCB has the following objectives to be fulfilled:
To prevent the eviction of slum dwellers by private owners and to provide the slum families with
security of tenure.
To provide basic amenities like water supply, street lights, storm water drains, sewer line, etc to
the slum areas.
The Chennai Corporation is the responsible agency for provision of services to the urban poor residing in
slums and within municipal limits.
Tamil Nadu is one among the most urbanized states in the country and the urban population constitutes
48.45 % of the total population as per 2011 Census. The urban population in Tamil Nadu as per 2011
census is 349.50 lakhs and among them 20% is living in slums. The Chennai Corporation having a
population of 61.53 Lakhs has 19% of slum populations in 2014 as per socio economic survey and also
chennai Metropolitian area with population of 86.9 lakh as per census 2011 has 17% living in slums.
To implement Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) Programme of Government of India (GoI), Tamilnadu
Government (GoTN) has assigned Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) the responsibility for
preparing Slum Free City Plan of Action (SFCPoA) and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for the RAY
Schemes in entire Tamilnadu.
Page 18
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Bringing existing slums within the formal system and enabling them to avail of the same level of
basic amenities as the rest of the town
Redressing the failures of the formal system that lie behind the creation of slums
Tackling the shortages of urban land and housing that keep shelter out of reach of the urban poor
and force them to resort to extra-legal solutions in a bid to retain their sources of livelihood and
employment.
The SFCPoA planning exercise will help the city to take a holistic view on housing for the urban poor,
lead to systematic data gathering and analysis for structuring a city wide strategy on urban poor housing,
which could further lead to city level proposals; zone, ward and slum level proposals, as well as proposals
which would help to address structural issues which have constrained the access to affordable shelter
solutions for the urban poor in the city in the past.
Slum Redevelopment Plan, an output from SFCPoA for each slum identified is to be decided based on
models like
o PPP development,
o infrastructure provision only,
o Community-based development through Rajiv Awas Housing Societies, etc.
This decision-making should necessarily be done with the involvement of the community after
community mobilization and dialogue for deciding the model to be adopted.
Through participatory process, Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) can achieve the following objectives:
Assess the current condition of slums and housing shortage for poor,
Page 19
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Formulate affordable housing options including rental housing and night shelters/dormitories as
part of the preventive strategies.
Project the investment requirements for implementation of SFCPoA including its phasing.
Formulate financial strategy and institutional arrangements for implementing the SFCPoA.
The broad methodology of the Slum free planning process listing out the various steps and activities that
need to be undertaken are shown in Figure 1.1.
Chennai Municipal Corporation is divided into 15 zones and 200 wards. Since the quantum of work
involved in preparing SFCPoA for the entire city is huge, it has been decided by TNSCB, the Nodal
Page 20
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Agency for RAY in Tamilnadu, to prepare curative strategies of RAY zone wise and preventive strategies
of RAY for the entire city. Accordingly, this draft Slum Free City Plan of Action report is prepared for all
Zones of Corporation of Chennai.
Tamilnadu has very well established Self- Help Groups (SHGs) and these groups at slum level are
involved in forming the community level structures.

2 CITY PROFILE-CHENNAI
Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu and is located on the Coromondal coast of Bay of Bengal. Chennai
is the fourth most populous metropolitan area and the sixth most populous city in India. Chennai boasts of
rich historical legacy which lends an inexplicable charm to the city. The flourishing economy of the city
is credited to its key industries - automobile, software services, hardware manufacturing, petrochemicals,
textiles and financial services. Chennai is popularly known as 'Gateway to South India' and it is well
connected internationally and to other parts of India. Metropolitan areas in India and its population is
shown in Table 2.1.

2.2.1 Geography
Chennai is located on the southeastern coast of India in the northeastern part of Tamil Nadu on a flat
coastal plain known as the Eastern Coastal Plains. Chennai is located at 13.04N latitude 80.17E
longitude. The city has an average elevation of 6 meters (20 ft.); its highest point being 60 m. Chennai is a
low-lying area and the land surface is almost flat like a pancake.
2.2.2 Geology
The geology of Chennai comprises mostly clay, shale and sandstone. The city is classified into three
regions based on geology, sandy areas, clayey areas and hard-rock areas. Sandy areas are found along the
river banks and the coasts. Clayey regions cover most of the city. Hard rock areas are Guindy, Velachery,
Adambakkam and a part of Saidapet In sandy areas such as Tiruvanmiyur, Adyar, Kottivakkam,
Santhome, George Town, Tondiarpet and the rest of coastal Chennai, rainwater run-off percolates very
quickly. In clayey and hard rock areas, rainwater percolates slowly, but it is held by the soil for a longer
time. The city's clayey areas include T. Nagar, West Mambalam, Anna Nagar, Perambur and
Virugambakkam.
2.2.3 Climate
Chennai features a tropical wet and dry climate. Chennai lies on the thermal equator and is also coastal,
which prevents extreme variation in seasonal temperature. For most of the year, the weather is hot and
humid. The hottest part of the year is late May and early June, known locally as Agni Nakshatram ("fire
star") or as Kathiri Veyyil, with maximum temperatures around 3842 degrees Celsius (100108 F). The
coolest part of the year is January, with minimum temperatures around 1820 C (6468 F). The lowest
temperature recorded is 13.9 C (57.0 F) and highest 45 C (113 F).
2.2.4 Rainfall
The average annual rainfall is about 1,400 mm (55 in). The city gets most of its seasonal rainfall from the
North-East monsoon winds, from mid-September to mid-December. Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal
sometimes hit the city. Highest annual rainfall recorded is 2,570 mm in 2005. The most prevailing winds
in Chennai are the Southwesterly between the end of May and end of September and the Northeasterly
during the rest of the year.

The Municipalities and Town Panchayats in CMA have experienced higher growth rate than that of the
City. The density pattern indicates that the City has the highest gross density of 110 persons/ha (this has
got reduced from 247 persons / ha due to expansion of city boundary from 176 to 426 Sq. Km), whereas
the average gross density in CMA is only 73 persons/ha. The gross density in most of the municipal areas,
Town Panchayats and in the extended corporation areas are very low, indicating that these areas offer
high potential for growth and would be the receiving residential nodes in future. Chennai has a slum
population of 16.14 lakhs (census 2001) which is rated at fourth position in terms of slum population of
India.
According to 2001 Census, migrants to Chennai City from other parts of Tamil Nadu State constitute
74.5%, and the Table 2.4 shows a downward trend in the migration to the City from 37.24% in 1961 to
Page 26
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
21.57% in 2001. Migrants from other parts of India constitute 23.8% and the remaining 1.71 % of the
migrants is from other countries.

Chennai is ranked 4th in Hosting the maximum number of Fortune 500 companies of India, next only to
Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata. It is also home to 24 Indian companies having a net worth of more than
Rs.5000 crores. According to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Chennai is estimated to grow
Rs.500000 crores economy, 2.5 times its present size, by the year 2025.
The city is base to around 30% of India's automobile industry and 40% of its auto components industry.
Many software and software services companies have development centers in Chennai.
Informal sector generally denotes the activities and services, which are readily associated with low wages
and low level of skills predominantly slum dwellers are involved. The informal sector comprises broadly
the following groups:
Page 27
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Employees and workers in predominantly low wage paying sectors like rickshaw pulling, repair
of bicycles, personal services, etc.
Employees and workers in comparatively better wage paying occupation such as construction,
manufacturing and repair activities.
From the Census data of 2001, it is estimated that the employees in informal sector would be about 10
lakhs in Chennai City.
2.5.2 Fisheries
There are 84 fishing villages along the coast with one fishing harbour and 64 fish landing centres located
in the 3 districts comprising CMA. The total fisher folk population of these districts (1, 38,669) forms
about 18% of the marine fisher folk population of the State. There are about 18,500 male and 5,500
female fisher folk employed in fishery and other allied activities. The average annual marine fish
production of these districts is about 30,000 tonnes. All these fishing villages are predominantly slum
settlements located mostly along the long coastal line of CMA.
Figure 2.2, till now an urban form has developed in the shape of a half star with interspersed green
wedges. These green wedges are getting filled up due to improved accessibility created through
construction of ring roads during the last decade.

Chennai has become one of the preferred destinations for IT / ITES companies. Tamilnadu is the second
largest software exporter in the country, and 90% of the export is from Chennai alone. Chennai is
emerging as a major export hub in the South East Asia. International car manufacturers such as Ford,
Hyundai, and General Motor etc. have established around Chennai their manufacturing bases to cater to
domestic and international markets. Saint Gobin glass factory, Nokia cell phone manufacturing industry
at Sriperumbudur, and Mahindra Industrial Park developed over 1700 acres; near Maraimalai Nagar new
town are some of the major developments around Chennai.
All these developments have already made and will make considerable impact on the structure of this
Metropolis in future. Some of the significant developments /decisions of the recent past, which will have
an influence on the future urban form and structure, are listed below:
New road infrastructure projects Rajiv Gandhi Salai, extension of NH Bye-pass from
Maduravoyal to Redhills and formation of outer ring road and other ring connections.
Developments along IT corridor in the southern part of CMA along the Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Old
Mamallapuram Road).
Redevelopment for commercial and IT Parks and in residential and non-residential areas with
multi-storeyed buildings.
Conversion of manufacturing units especially in industrial estates at Guindy and Ambattur into IT
industries.
Construction of Metro Rail from Beach to Airport and Washermanpet to St. Thomas Mount.
These development actions are expected to modify the form from the half star mentioned earlier to
concentric half circles engulfing the green wedges that had been left undeveloped earlier. The urban
structure beyond the City limits is also expected to shift from a predominantly low-density low-rise
Page 31
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
development to medium density developments interspersed with high-rise buildings. In such a scenario,
there is a maximum possibility of new slums cropping up in these major activity nodes and regions, if
proper housing for Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/ Low Income Group (LIG) is not allotted in
future especially in extended areas of the corporation and in CMA area.
In the past few decades the number of slums in Chennai has increased considerably due to economic
constraints, growth of city and migration to Chennai city from other areas. The number slum in 1956 was
306 and has increased nearly to 1500 in 2001. Slum Population of 8.2 lakhs constitutes around 19% of
the total population of the city as per census 2001.
In Chennai most of the slums are located along the river, low lying areas, along the railway line and all
along the roads. The slums in Chennai generally present an unhygienic, ugliest, nauseating scene. During
rainy season, the whole area gets flooded, the pathways become swampy and the entire colony become a
fertile breeding place for mosquitoes, exposing the slum dwellers living in the area to all sorts of diseases.
During summer, the thatched huts are prone to fire accidents. Thus, the slum dwellers life is the most
miserable one, devoid of all basic amenities. The slums in Chennai, located on land parcels belonging to
both public and private as per the Socio-Economic Survey, 1971 is shown in Table 2.6.
Page 32
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
In the early phase of industrialization, there was large-scale migration to the cities due to
employment opportunities and other community facilities and advantages offered by the city,
which were absent in majority of the rural areas of developing countries of the world.
The poverty which means an income level inadequate to maintain a decent standards of living as
judged by the standards of the society and low paying capacity of the migrants, force them to find
refuge either in low rental areas or to squat on the unused land located near their work places.
There is a housing shortage in urban areas due to low level of income among the economically
weaker sections of the society, underprivileged sections of the society.
Proximity of their houses, close to the source of employment for economic reasons especially due
to transportation cost.
Due to the high and fast growth of migration especially from all rural areas of Indian territory to
the urban centers mainly searching for livelihood
There is always inadequate and insufficient municipal civic amenities which increase to the
problems of the slum squatters and cause many other problems.
Page 33
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Pavement Dwellers in Chennai City, the number of households who were living in pavements was 9491
at 405 clusters at an average of about 23 households at a place; their population was 40763 (20811 Male
and 19950 Female) with 40.2% children population. Although the problem is not as severe as in other
metro cities, due to large scale construction activities and increasing informal sector employment, the
problem is bound to become acute and it is important to find acceptable solutions to this problem both
from the point of view of these houseless pavement dwellers as well as keeping the pavements for its
legitimate use.
Chennai is a coastal metropolis and there are 146 fishermen villages along the coast of which 43 are in
Chennai City, 30 are in the northern part of City up to Minjur and 11 in the south up to Uthandi. Housing
for fishermen becomes important particularly because the housing has to be close to their working area
namely the sea and the restrictions placed by Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) for several types of
development. According to a recent count there are 36,162 fishermen households are living in CMA with
an average household size of 3.81. They live in 31,688 structures of which 16,482 are in Chennai, 8439 in
northern part of CMA and 6767 in the southern part of CMA.
The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB), the nodal agency for water
supply and sewerage, gets the water supply from lakes and tanks fed by monsoon, underground aquifers
as well as distant sources such as from Krishna River and Veeranam Lake. In addition water is sourced
from open and shallow wells, bore-wells not only from the CMA but also from places outside by
individuals, institutions and water tanker operators.
Page 34
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
The present situation is that while the city corporation area is better served with water supply
infrastructure and facilities, the rest of the area suffers in comparison.
While the supply side situation overall is satisfactory, the availability of services for the poorer sections is
minimal. In the supply side for slum areas, even in the better-serviced Chennai city area, most of the slum
settlements more than 90% of slum households receive water from metro tankers (according to a
Master Plan report 2026).
The sewage collected from the city is conveyed through various pumping stations to the sewerage
treatment plants located at Kodungaiyur, Koyambedu, Nesapakkam and Perungudi for treatment and
disposal. Preventive maintenance works in sewer are being carried out by using mechanical equipments
such as Jet Rodding and Bucket Cleaning Machines to keep sewers free from blocks. The CMWSSB has
also partnered with other organizations in recycling of the sewage. In addition, the CMWSSB is also
encouraging recycling of wastewater by providing secondary treated sewage to the Chennai Petroleum
Corporation Ltd. and Madras Fertilizer Ltd. at Manali and raw sewage to a private power corporation at
Basin Bridge.
In spite of nearly 100% underground sewerage available in the City, the toilets (including
community/public latrines) connected to the sewer system cover only 77.5% of slum households.
According to a recent survey, less than 30% of slum households have individual latrine facilities.

Solid waste includes domestic and commercial waste, industrial waste, hospital waste, e-waste and
construction debris. The Corporation of Chennai is the largest generator of solid waste estimated at 3000
tonnes per day. It has a network of transfer stations and two lands fill sites at Kodungaiyur and Perungudi.
The present system of collection, transfer and dumping does not make any distinction between types of
waste other than domestic and commercial waste and to some extent construction debris. The disposal of
hospital waste and industrial waste is the responsibility of the generator but much of this waste also gets
into the Corporation system. Separate system has not been established for e-waste so far.

The flat terrain of Chennai City needs effective Storm Water Drainage System to prevent water stagnation
in roads. The terrain of Chennai city is flat and average level of the land in the city is only 2.5m above the
Mean Sea Level (MSL).
Most of the existing waterways are silted and their flow channels and banks are obstructed with
encroachments and structures. Similar is the case with the reservoirs and tanks. Secondly several of the
areas under tanks and their anicuts have been developed as residential neighbourhoods over the years. T.
Nagar, Nungambakkam, Vyasarpadi in Chennai are instances in this respect. The Taramani area has been
developed as an institutional area. Thirdly the geological structure particularly in the south-west is not
conducive to water infiltration. Because of these reasons, flooding and water stagnation happens in the
city during the monsoons especially in slum areas.
Page 36
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
The flooding of low-lying areas has besides causing loss of property, is disrupting the life of many slum
dwellers through displacement and heavy expenditure on their relief, loss of manpower in industry and
business and damage to infrastructure. More importantly it impinges on the health of the citizens through
epidemics like dysentery, typhoid and cholera.
In order to tackle this, Under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM),
Corporation of Chennai is currently undertaking Storm Water Drainage project in the Chennai
Corporation area.
The total length of road network in Chennai City is 2780 km. Chennai has radial and ring pattern of road
network. Prime radial network comprises following:
Chennai is the headquarters of the Southern Railway. The city has two main railway terminals. Chennai
Central station, the city's largest, provides access to other major cities as well as many other smaller
towns across India. Chennai Egmore is a terminus for trains to destinations primarily within Tamil Nadu;
it also handles a few interstate trains. The Chennai suburban railway network, one of the oldest in the
country, consists of four broad gauge sectors terminating at two locations in the city, namely Chennai
Central and Chennai Beach. The fourth sector is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit System which links
Chennai Beach to Velachery and is interlinked with the remaining rail network. Construction is underway
for an underground and elevated Chennai Metro rail.

America through more than 30 national and international carriers.
The existing airport is undergoing further modernization and expansion with an addition of 1069.99 acres,
and a New Greenfield airport is to be constructed at an estimated cost of INR 20,000 million in
Sriperumbudur on 4,200 acres (17 km2) of land.
2.10.2.1 Education
Chennai, being the State capital, the educational facilities available are very good when comparing with
the rest of the State. The principal stakeholders are: The Directorate of School Education, Directorate of
Elementary Education, Directorate of Matriculation Education, Directorate of Non-formal and Adult
Education and the Directorate of Teacher Education, Research and Training, Trusts and Charitable
institutions in the field. The number of schools in Chennai is listed in Table 2.9.
2.10.2.2 Health
Planning for health becomes an integral part of metropolitan planning and health status of population is an
important indicator of human resource development. Investments in health sector have direct relationship
with longevity and improvements in physical and mental development of people. Tamil Nadus health
indicators place it near the top among the States of India. Policy of the Government is to provide a healthy
and disease-free life to the people of Tamil Nadu.
Page 39
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Chennai has established itself as the health capital of the country and is fast becoming the health
destination of choice for people all over the world with its excellent facility, competent specialists and
good nursing care.
Large number of private hospitals deliver health care in CMA; Apollo Hospitals, Sri Ramachandra
Medical College Hospital, Malar Hospital, Vijaya Hospital, Devaki hospital, CSI Rainy Hospital, CSI
Kalyani Hospital etc. are the major hospitals. According to the approved Government list, as many as 130
private hospitals function in the City area itself.

Review of space standards considering land cost, availability of developable lands, land
requirements, affordability and space standards for housing developments.
New housing for EWS and LIG as well as rehabilitation of slum households will be in composite
and special neighborhoods whether developed by the public, private, cooperative or joint sector.
These may be in the form of built dwelling units or affordable serviced sites.
When housing neighborhoods and apartment blocks are developed by the private sector on lands
exceeding one hectare, 10% of the land shall be reserved and developed for housing for
LIG/EWS with dwelling units not exceeding 45 sq. m. Within the site proposed for development
or in a location within a radius of 2 km from the site under reference.
Pavement dwellers will be provided with affordable opportunities for housing in selected sites
preferably close to their present pavement residence.
Taking note of the demands for various target groups for housing, working womens hostels,
student hostels, employees housing by employers, single person dwellings and night shelters will
form part of housing action plans.
Standard housing includes basic services like water supply, sanitation and proper access roads.
Before the Government declared that the layout of house sites unauthorisedly is opposed to public
Page 41
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
policy and prohibited registration of plots therein, a number of unauthorized layouts had come up
in the last 30 years, which lack basic services. These unapproved layout areas should be properly
merged with the urban fabric by framing suitable regulation and permitting constructions in these
plots.
Land assembly using innovative measures such as land readjustment, land pooling, guided
development and neighbourhood developments by TNHB and TNSCB severally or jointly will be
encouraged to minimize undesirable speculation and increase in land cost to ensure planned
development to provide for the needs of the lower income groups.
Problems of shelter for the urban poor and their shelter improvement should be addressed through
improvement of physical surroundings so that it has adequate basic services such as water supply,
drainage, sanitation, street lighting, and other physical conditions leading to better hygienic
environment; secondly, through the improvement of the actual structures that the slum dwellers
live in , preferably by themselves (extending assistance in terms of financial and physical
resources) and by encouraging in-situ development ; thirdly, through the improvement of the
whole economic and social environment beyond the mere physical condition they live in.
TNSCB would take steps to segregate the slums in unsuitable sites which require resettlement in
the nearby sites or elsewhere; high dense slums which cannot be improved as is where is
require to be housed in storeyed tenements; for slums which can be improved as-is-where-is
plans may be prepared with phasing and the same implemented in order to achieve the goal of
total eradication of slums in near future, say at the latest by 2021. This policy would incorporate
land readjustment and redevelopment using the BOT route.
Identification of suitable land for urban renewal such as redevelopment and rehabilitation taking
into consideration of age and structural stability of buildings, land use and level of infrastructure
will be made by TNHB and TNSCB.
Encouragement and incentives are proposed for development of self-contained new towns and
settlements around and inside the CMA with all infrastructure facilities including those required
for the IT developments with all attendant infrastructure facilities and housing needed.
To discourage speculation and encourage optimum utilization of land, levy of a suitable nature in
proportion to permissible FSI can be thought of.
All Government lands have to be properly identified, documented and safeguarded to prevent
encroachment.
Page 42
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Retrofitting of old and vulnerable houses to make them disaster-resistant encouraged by involving
financial institutions.
Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) will facilitate formulation of local level
housing action plans by urban local bodies in association with public-private sector institutions.
The housing locations in action plans of urban local bodies will be close and easily accessible
from major road arterials and railway, existing and planned
CMDA will facilitate local housing plans by rural local bodies by convergence of rural
development schemes of government.
Housing and neighbourhood developments will not be encouraged on high value agricultural land
and prohibited on environmentally unsuitable land.
Fisheries Department in coordination with CMDA and TNSCB will facilitate fishermen housing
and settlement development close to their work sites.
The slums located in congested unhygienic areas of the urban areas wherein equitable distribution
of space is not feasible shall be cleared and tenemental schemes put up.
Wherever in-situ development is feasible, such slums shall be identified and taken up for in-situ
improvement for the provision of basic facilities to make the areas habitable.
Wherever neither tenemental scheme nor in-situ development is feasible, rehabilitation and
resettlement in tenements in the nearby locations is followed.
Page 43
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Within the above framework and other functional responsibilities as outlined in the TNSA(1/c), the
TNSCB has been implementing various schemes for the development of the slums in the form of housing,
slum improvement initiatives and other resettlement measures.
Following are various development programs undertaken by the TNSCB to improve the living conditions
of the urban poor living in the slums:
Rehabilitation and Resettlement of the Slum Families Living in Objectionable Areas in Chennai
City;
Flood Alleviation Programme (FAP) - Construction of houses for the Slum Families Living on
the River Margins and Posing Hindrance to Desilting Works;
Rehabilitation and Resettlement of the Remaining Slum Families Living on River Margins;

layout area shall be reserved for EWS / LIG. Typical case studies show that 10% of the land reserved
account for more than 50% of the total no of the dwelling units for EWS / LIG categories constructed /
delivered.
Reform: A non-lapsable earmarking of 25% of the budget of the Municipality to provide basic
services to the urban poor
Status: The G.O. on earmarking 25% of the ULB budget for basic services to urban poor has

The principal stakeholders in providing housing in Chennai area are TNHB and TNSCB in the public
sector. In the private sector builders including corporate builders and individuals are the chief
contributors. Only the public sector has been involved in the housing of EWS and LIG, which constitute
nearly 65% of the households. The TNHB has vast experience in developing neighborhoods and
composite developments providing for EWS housing through its neighborhoods and Sites-and-Services
Schemes under the MUDPs. The TNSCB has experience in in-situ development of slums with grant of
tenure and also in large slum rehabilitation schemes. The role of cooperative sector in housing is limited
to provision of loans to individuals. Till now the private sector has not been involved in housing for the
low income groups and EWS. Their contribution has been mainly in providing houses for HIG and MIG.
TNHB has developed housing for about 52000 families while other public agencies have contributed
about 25000 units; the TNSCB has constructed nearly 65000 tenements in Chennai. The private sector
has played a major role in respect of HIG and MIG housing. 2001 Census has shown that there is no
significant gap between number of households and housing units.
TNHB has been delivering the housing under their different programmes viz. regular programme, MUDP
and TNUDP. TNHB was delivering serviced plots and constructed houses and flats under these
programmes. TNHB had developed large neighbourhoods with all amenities and facilities within CMA at
Arignar Anna Nagar,K.K. Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Bharathi Nagar, South Madras Neighbourhood Scheme
(comprising Indira Nagar, Besant Nagar and Sashtri Nagar), Thiruvanmiyur, Tambaram etc. TNHB has

3.7.6.1 Formation of new SHGs and strengthening the capacity of existing SHGs
The main objective of this activity is to form new SHGs and strengthen the capacity of SHGs to take up
livelihood activities. The Training programmes to increase the knowledge of women on bank
transactions, regular savings, life skill education, time management and positive thinking are also
conducted.
The main objectives of this activity are to support SHGs with seed
capital for sustainability of economic activities and ensure group
coherence.
The proposed technical non-formal training courses have facilitated the trainees either to find
employment in small business establishments, workshops or to start their own self-employment.
Though there are number of Government Departments and technical institutions imparting skill
development training courses, there is a need for strategic planning and approach in this area where
training programmes are evolved after needs assessment of the current market. Innovative short term and
long term training programmes to suit the needs of the industries have been formulated under Livelihood
Support programme of Tsunami Emergency Assistance and Income Restoration programme of CMRL.
The main objective of this programme is to promote economic empowerment of women. This programme
aims to impart entrepreneurial skill training to women to initiate income generation activities through skill
development training, credit linkage and marketing support.
Page 58
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
The expected outcome of the programme is to make additional income to the family through management
skills, upgradation of economic development activity and availing of loans wherever possible and make
them self- reliant.
The Smaller economic assistance through provision for sewing machines, wet grinders, iron box, fish and
push carts, mobile bunk and tricycle, tool kits for electricians, plumbers, Beauticians, Murukku machine,
ice box and umbrella etc. have been provided to restore the livelihood of the self employed persons

The SHGs are promoting group and individual economic activities to increase their earning capacity. The
existing demonstrated livelihood Tsunami Emergency Assistance projects like autos, luggage carrier,
Solid Waste Management, Departmental Stores and Sanitary napkin production are successfully
implemented in Semmancheri and Kannagi Nagar.
A recent initiative of involving the community in Solid Waste Management through garbage collection
and vermin composting in Semmancherri and Okkium Thoraipakkam has been a successful model worth
replication. The Solid Waste Management has been undertaken as an alternative innovative livelihood
venture by self help group women in the newly rehabilitated areas of Semmancherri and Kannagi Nagar.
The garbage is collected at the door steps with the help of tri cycles provided, which is later segregated
and transformed into vermi compost and organic manure. This project envisages the employment of
women, offering steady income generation, besides preserving clean and friendly environment which has
enhanced the quality of life of the residents. This model project has enlisted peoples participation and
they have contributed Rs.50/- towards maintenance of their own community.

The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board as a first step has taken up Socio Economic Survey under the
Slum Free City Plan of Action (SFCPoA) programme of Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) in 10 Corporation
Cities including Chennai City. M/s Darashaw & Co., the consultant for this work for the Chennai City
commenced Socio Economic Survey in November 2010 by an agreement executed with TNSCB.
The Socio Economic Survey questionnaire forms filled in by the enumerators are verified by the field
engineers and Community Development Officers of the TNSCB and by the supervisors of the
Consultants. Surprise checks are made by the Board Office officials.
This report is a document of survey conducted in slums in Chennai as on 28.02.2014 and entered in the
Management Information System (MIS) software developed for this purpose. Linking Socio Economic
information with the topo map in the Geographic Information System (GIS) is in progress.
The survey is being continued wherever there has been door locked cases and left out cases. The photo
capturing and biometric operations are also being conducted.
Consultative Committee Meetings were held between February 2013 and July 2013 and the slum list
updated from the Ward Councilors, Zonal Officers and Corporation officials. During the Consultative
Meetings held in the 15 Zones of Chennai City at various point of time, the Ward Councilors wanted new
areas to be included in the list of slums. Such areas have not been disputed and have been incorporated in
the list of slums and need to be verified.

It has not been possible to complete the survey entirely even at this stage as there has been several
bottlenecks and hardships faced during enumeration. General election was announced during 2011 and
2014, slum survey was stopped due to Model Code of Conduct of Election Commission.
Inspite of Community Consultative meetings held in all the Corporation Wards with proper orientation to
the slum dwellers and the enumerators, there has been misunderstanding and survey works were stopped
by the slum dwellers in few places due to the fear of eviction.
In areas where fire accidents had occurred there were loss of records and proof of living by slum dwellers
in the area. In the initial stages of survey Tenemental areas were also surveyed but later dropped since the
priority was not for surveying the households who have already been benefited by the Slum Clearance
Board scheme.
Many areas earlier listed as slums were developed over a period of time and cannot be at present called as
slum. They were also not required to be surveyed as there was no immediate necessity to conduct survey
in such areas. Therefore such slum areas were not given priority in conducting the survey.
Based on the outcome of the survey, the consultant had prepared the Slum Free City Plan of Action. Out
of 2173 slums identified till February 2014 in Chennai City, 3,04,980 slum households living in 1131
slums in 15 Zones have been surveyed as on February 2014 and presented Zone wise and Ward wise
based on which Draft SFCPoA prepared. According to Census 2011, 3, 98,847 slum households live in
Chennai Corporation.
Of the 15 Zones surveyed, zone 15 has as low as 57 slums and Zone 4 has as many as 240 slums. In
the 1131 Slums surveyed in the City 3, 04,980 households are living at an average of 270 households per
slum. The status has been recorded in the draft SFCPoA now finalized. The SFCPoA will be fine tuned
when survey is fully completed.
Nine step approaches has been adopted for conducting Socio-Economic Surveys and are listed as below:
Identification of Slums
Identification of NGOs/SHGs/Enumerators
Page 67
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
After the slum identification, NGO groups / SHG groups /team of enumerators have been identified for
conducting surveys. Orientation program has been given to train NGOs / SHGs/ team of enumerators for
conducting surveys at slum level.
Slum level consultation programs have been arranged to apprise the slum community about the objectives
of RAY. After getting the consent from the locals for survey, slum houses have been numbered by the
supervisor of the survey team. Once it is numbered, each house is enumerated by a Survey team.
Each house surveyed is given a survey slip for easy identification in future for 2% and 10% verification
by TNSCB and for conducting bio-metric surveys in future. Once the survey has been done for a
particular slum, the surveyed forms have been cross checked first by the Supervisor of the team and then
by the Zonal survey coordinator. The forms were once again verified by the TNSCB officials randomly
undertaking 2% verification by Engineering division and 10% verification by Community Development
Division. Slums were consulted and informed them about the RAY scheme again during the 2% and 10%
verification done by TNSCB officials.

e. Similarly, Railroads, Other landmarks such as temple, mosque, church etc. were all demarcated
f. Finally the names of various objects were collected and incorporated along with the zone, ward
attributes
The delineation of slum boundaries for the SFCPoA has been done with the full involvement of TNSCB.
The delineation of boundary has been done in ARC-GIS with the help of GPS co-ordinates captured from
all the slums. The layers incorporated in GIS base map are listed below:

For each query on specific parameters as per Centre for Good Governance (CGG) guidelines, several
analyses reports can be generated through the MIS. Software is developed in such a way that a separate
Unique ID would be generated for each slum household in the format as shown in Figure 4.3.

Slum development has been phased out in such a way that slums with Worst infrastructure and most
vulnerable are given a priority and taken in the first year itself. Slums coming under other deficiency
codes have also been considered for the first year depending on the extent of infrastructure requirements
and housing requirements. The year wise phasing of slums is given in below.

The Fisheries Department has estimated the additional requirement of housing for fishermen at 42,543
units by 2025.
The Inventory of land available for housing development will be decided only after the Consultation with
Collector of nearby District.

Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
Acquisition has been initiated by TNHB for about 1700 acres (688 hectares) of land in 8 villages in CMA
for housing development. It has also proposed to acquire further lands around the city in consultation with
CMDA. Out of this land bank, if 10% of the land is allotted for EWS and for slum dwellers, 68.8 hectares
of land can be made available for future housing supply. It can accommodate 27200 households out of the
total demand of 4, 13,788 households.
10.2.3 Land availability within CMA as per Master Plan 2026 for Housing
supply
It is envisaged in the Master Plan 2026, that major development and densification would happen in the
rest of CMA(CMA other than Chennai Corporation) since the availability of land is a constraint within
Chennai Corporation for further development and densification. As per master Plan, existing residential
area in rest of CMA in 2006 was 22877 hectares and the proposed residential area by 2026 would be
45593.78 hectares. Hence the available developable land for further residential development is 22717
hectares.
For demand supply gap analysis, it is assumed that 50% of available developable land would cater the
housing demand for MIG and HIG through group housing, multi-storied buildings and special buildings.
As per the Master Plan 2026 for CMA, 10% of such land has to be allotted for EWS/LIG. Hence the land
available for future requirements of LIG and EWS is 1136 hectares (22717*0.1*0.50).
So, additional land of 260 hectares is required to accommodate the remaining dwelling units. The demand
supply gap analysis is shown in Table 10.2.

Affordability and accessibility are the two big questions in housing sector. Most of the projects worked by
the private developers aim at providing housing for middle and upper income groups and there is no
provision of houses for EWS/LIG in formal housing system. Affordability of the EWS/LIG is again
dependent on the income levels of different groups and the market prices of the houses. Since the
affordability levels of the EWS/LIG groups are very low, they have to compromise on the quality of the
house. Access to housing finance for poor is limited in the formal systems, and it is limited to mainly
formal employment with regular salaries. Some of the common obstacles for EWS/LIG groups are
irregular income, high down payments and their guarantee for the repayment.
As per the household survey conducted, more than 50% of households have income between Rs.2500 to
Rs.5000. For calculating EMI and accessing the repaying capacity of household, the cost of dwelling unit
is considered as Rs.6, 00,000/- for which Rs. 5, 40,000 is borne by Central, State Government and ULB
and Rs. 60,000 is the beneficiary contribution.
The monthly EMI is calculated by taking interest rate at 10.00 % per annum, and the loan repayment
period as 10-15 years. Mortgage of the dwelling unit will be accepted as primary security and no
prepayment charges. The EMI will be worked is given in the following table
Loan Amount: 60,000 Interest Rate: 5% per Annum Monthly Income of Rs.2500
Page 152
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation

Loan Terms Monthly Percentage of
in Year Payment in Rs. Monthly Income
10 793 32%
11 751 30%
12 717 29%
13 689 28%
14 665 27%
15 645 26%
From the above table it is clear that the EMI calculated varies from 34% to 26% of monthly income of the
household. Hence, slum household may not have burden in future as their income will increase in the
coming years and where as the EMI is fixed.
Providing housing finance to the beneficiaries through banks, Housing Funding institutions will help in
bridging the housing gap and will help in building new housing stock. The central nodal agencies like
National Housing Bank (NHB) and Housing & Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) shall act
intermediaries for releasing of subsidy to the primary lending institutions.
The cost of housing is so high compared to what people early and the households who can save in hand
can afford houses without any loans & financing. It is difficult for the EWS/LIG to afford a house
without any loans; finance for the housing needs is the required for the EWS/LIG group. In order to
overcome the obstacles for the getting loan from the formal systems, strategies are worked out to make
the housing finance reach the needy. The strategies are as follows:
Government legalizes slum land and provides the slum dwellers with tenurial rights they can individually
take loans from housing banks to pay for the construction cost of their houses. The slum dwellers will
then be able to mortgage their houses against the loan.
As formal institutions hesitate to provide loan to the LIG/EWS /poor households due to their inability to
repay and as they fail in providing security for the loan amount. Setting up intermediate finance
Page 153
Slum Free City Plan of Action Chennai Corporation
institutions which facilitate the households in getting loans and linking them with banks makes the formal
institutions comfortable in providing loans to these groups.
One way of providing houses to EWS/LIG category is to reducing the cost of housing by using innovative
and design construction strategies, which make is unit cost lower and make them affordable to the
vulnerable groups.
11.2.4 Strategy 4: Channeling Loans from Self Help Groups (SHGs) within the Community:
A SHG is a small group of persons who come together with the intention of finding a solution to a
common problem such as medical issues, livelihood generation or watershed management, with a degree
of self-sufficiency. The primary aim of the SHG-Bank linkage program is to integrate informal savings
and credit groups with mainstream banking by providing them with credit to enhance their fund base.
Once an SHG has demonstrated its capacity to sustain and to absorb outside credit, loans are extended to
it from the formal banking structure. These can help the formal systems for channeling the loans to the
needy and can provide financing institutions with an established, capable management mechanism that
can manage loan disbursal and repayment as a group thereby creating trust to the institutions

12 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
A number of agencies are responsible for various activities pertaining to housing for urban poor.
Although it is primarily the responsibility of the ULB, other departments / agencies such as the Urban
Development Department, Town Planning Department, Slum clearance Board, Housing Board and
NGOs, all have a role to play in provision of housing and infrastructure services to the urban poor. The
following institutional methodology has been adopted for the Cities.
The institutional responsibility for slum improvement vests with the Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board,
the apex policy making and monitoring agency for urban areas in the state. It executes various
government schemes for urban renewal like National Slum Development Program, Jawaharlal Nehru
National Urban Renewal Mission, Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project, Rajiv Gandhi Tsunami
Rehabilitation etc. TNSCB executes all its programs using beneficiaries for prioritization of needs and
execution of schemes.

In case of Rajiv Awas Yojana, TNSCB is the nodal agency at state level to implement surveys for the
scheme. Initially the survey was taken up under BSUP programme, which had similar survey format of
RAY. Various meetings were conducted by calling different para-statal agencies to discuss the required
methodology for conducting surveys and initiate the steps for survey. Several discussions were held at
length and depth about the conduction of surveys and to finalize a methodology. TNSCB as State level
authority has been the Nodal agency to monitor the quantity and quality of surveys performed by
individual cities. TNSCB is headed by Managing director who is in charge for one city, a nodal officer for
a ULB and number of supervisors for quality and quantity check upon the enumerators who have
completed the surveys.
