Population projections

Key issue Although there is a sharp decline in percentage population growth compared to previous decades there is an

absolute increase in population of Varanasi during the last decade. This is due to natural growth and migration of people from surrounding areas in search of job.

• The migrant population is likely to increase the demand for housing particularly EWS/LIG. If not planned for this section of population then slums or unplanned growth will be expected.

• The growth in population is also likely to stress already stressed public transport and will have impact on other services.

EMPLOYMENT OF DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES

The city of Varanasi has grown along the arc of Ganges with River Ganga as a focal point in one direction and growth of the city taking place in semi-circular direction. The city has a radial development pattern with areas like BHU, Manduadih, Sheopur and Sarnath emerging as new growth centres in all directions. Over a period of time, with the inclusion of a large number of villages and urban settlement, the city development has resulted in irregularly shaped built up areas along peripheries of the central areas of the city. The coming up of the Diesel Locomotive works and residential colonies over an area of 250 ha in the Southwest and the Soda Ash factory along the GT road in the East mark the development around the rural city fringe.

• Industrial area constitute on 3.66% of total land use, which has been drastically reduced by almost 46%.

• Industrial and commercial land use together account for marginally over 7% of the total land use.

• The total area under tourism/heritage is at alarmingly low levels (less than 3%),compared too similar placed cities are 6%.

• it can be seen from the above tables that there is reduction in the agricultural land use, which depicts that rural agricultural land on the fringe and suburbs are gradually being used up for building new colonies.
