Introductiorr

Mandalgarh, an ancient Fortress settlement located on thecrest of a hill at about I 15 metres height from the surroundingplains, has been famous for its fort and strategic location. It islocated on Bundi-Chittorgarh road at a distance of about52 KM. south-east of Bhilwara. As it situated enroute fromMalwa to Chittor it has been of strategic importance to therulers during the past. Founded in the l2th Century AD, thetown has therefore, seen many ups and downs during its his-tory. The town had been under the reigns of Chauhan, Harsha,Sultans of Gujrat and Malwa and later on Mughals and thenI\{ewar kings. The earlier significance of the town was mainlydefence; and thus the old development "is within thefortifications.

In the beginning the habitation was confined within the Fort,

with all the facil i t ies. The Sagar and Sagri were the huge water

storage tanks in the fort. The water supply to the inhabitants

was from these tanks. In due course of t ime the population

grew and hostalit ies subsided, and the people came out of the

iort. The area in the North-West of the JALESER TALAB

got fully inhabitated. This area was developed with facil i t ies

like shops, hospital, schools etc. lt was during the present

ceotury that the developments came down the hil l and

."puorion of the town u'as along Bhilwara Road. The growth

was hapha zard and infrastructure were inadequate to cater

the needs of the town.

The:town is:located along Bhilwara-Bundi road. The town

is already to be linked with Kota-Chittor broad gauge railway

line which is recently constructed. The rich lime stone deposits

in the region and broadgauge railway line may attract a

number of cement and other all ied industries to this area.

Mandalgarh is also an important growth Centre for its hinter'

land. The present growth is mostly along the State Highway

which has virtually become a local road, resulting in day

today accidents. This l inear development may create more

problems in future. Most of the present developments are

iaking place in an unorganised manner' As mentioned earl'ier

Mandalgarh is going to be an important 'industrial gro'wth

cenfre in future. Ii'is therefore, essehtial that a'well:thoug'ht

PIan is worked out to guide the ftlture physical' develropme nt

of ihe town.

During this period 266 objections were received from indivi-

the people have objected that the good agricultural land should

oot be included in Master Plan area. This point has been duly

taken care of in the preparation of Master Plap' and only

those agriculture land which fatl within the proposed urbani-

sed area have been included for urban development. Since

railway station has been constructed, the proposed urbandevelopment has been envisaged to included the contiguousarea from railway station in the south to Bhilwara road in the

north and Bundi road in the east. A few changes in the

The town was named after the formation of the town (Fort)over a hillock or mound. It,s circular ior'o likeMANDLAKRATI gave the name to the town as Mandargarh.I egends say that there was a MANDU BHIL, who got apercious stone at this prace and out of the sare of this stonethe Fort was constructed, so the name to the town was givenafter the name of Mandu. History of Mandalgarh dates backto the l2th century AD when this fort *ur'*"onrilorrro bySAKAMBRI CHOUI+N,S, of Ajqer.

Due to its startegic location atof a hil lock and enroute fromMalwa and from Agra to chittorlarh. The Mandalgarh forthas been of great signifioanee during the history. The defencecousiderations and security did not allow the town to developbelow rhe hill or fort com,prex.

At the time of rggr census Mandargarh was a v'ragepanchayat. It was decrared as a Municipa-t town in May rgg2. ,The Municipar town comprised of Mancrargarh panchay.at and16 surrounding revenue vitages. Thus the demographic stucryof municipar town comprises of lVrandargarh urban settrementas well as the rurar vilrages around. For in, porp*e of studyonly the population of contigous urban ur.u oi Mandargarhhas been taken into consideration, because the settrements ofl6 revenue vitages are away from the main Mandaigarh town.For planning purposes the dopuration of Mandargarh urbanarea has only been considerey wbich was 70gt p.rrlo, in l9gl.The following tabre shows the popuration ir Mandargarhurban area, asweil as of rurar vii lages'within **i. ip"r rimit.

Mandalgarh is well connected by road from Bhilwara,chittorgarh and Bundi. The Bhirwara-Bundi road is the mainartery of the town. As most of the new developments bavetaken place along this road, this is now used for rocal as wellas regional traffic. lt is, therefore, subject to traffic accidentsand congestion^ The old settlement around Jalesar Tarab hasnarrow lanes of irregular width, of less than20,. Manikya LalVerma chauraha is the main road junction of the town. Thereis no organised Bus stand. The present bus stand nearMunicipal Board's office operates local buses to thesurrounding vil lages and towns like Singoli, Bijolia, Sahapura,Jahdzpura, Bhilwara and Kota. There is also no organisedspace for parking of trucks. Therefore, the trucks are parkedon the main road wlrere loading and unloacling activit iesare also carried out. This creates traffic problem on the mainroad.

Water, Sewerage, drainage and power are the essentialcomponents of urban development. Without proper watersupply the town cannot grow and flourish. To ensure a healthyenvironment adequate water supply, electricity and drainagesystem has to be developed.

The water supply is through tubewells located in Triveni riveron Bhilwara road, about 7 km. West. Some water from Jalesartank is also utilised. The average water supply is 70 thousandgallons per day. Which comes to about l0 gallons per head/day. The supply is too less as compared to the acceptedstandard of 20 to 30 gallons. Jalesar tank serves the purpose ofwashing, bathing, as well as drinking water for cattle.Thus the water supply from this tank is unhygenic.

In most of the towns of Rajasthan the Sewerage system hasnot been developed. Signilarly in Mandalgarh, no Seweragesystem has ber n provided. The latrines are dry and night soilis disposed off manually. The waste and dirty water is drainedout through.open surface drains which causes pollution and isa health hazeard. ProBer drainage system has to be developedto ensure a healthy environment in the town.

The electric supply in Mandalgarh is received from RanaPratap Sagar Project through 132 K. V. power line. Agrid station of 132 K. v. capacity has been constructed nearKOTWAL KA KHERA village on Singoli Road. About 75%of power is consumed in Agriculture. with the deveropmentof industrial activity in this area more power wil l be required.

P{anning Concept

Through out the history-, men .have gnouped ,themsglvestogether either for safoty or for.exc.hange of,go4ds, food ,and,services. The town is the highest expressioa Lf th"r, rnufualneeds and aft of community iiniog. .rt reflects tn"architectural style of the tinre ai well as the politica!, culturaland social life of the community during different historio8ta.ges.

During.the medieval period defence was the srpjEr conside.ration and henee a number of forts ,were co-nstrugted ,atstrategic locations specially over the hillocks, at the ,otruoJiof, narro.w valleys. These forts have their strategic ,s_ignificancearqd'were mostly seats sf"the.rocal,chieftain. r,nese isnt towns

zr

have world of their own, with water supply from ponds, in,paraces as well as residential hcuses within their massive walls.But later on with the development of automobile and newmethods of warfare the need of defence changed. Thefortress did not remain that secured due to air war fare, whilethe distance was considerably reduced. Thus a new pattern ofdevelopment started in the town. City gates are now wideopen. These are no longer the centre of administration ormilitary headquarters only, but are now place of economicactivit ies l ike industry, trade and commerce, transportationetc. providing employment to a large number of people. Theseare thus economic growth centres for transmitting variousdevelopmental activit ies in their hinterland. These smalltowns, which remained more or less stagnant during the passthave suddenly started growing at a rapid pace mostly duringpost independence period due to various init iatives taken foreconomic and social upliftment of the people. This recentrapid growth in the towns has led the planner to think of theplanned growth of these towns, otherwise the charm of urbanIife may perish and these small towns may become picturesof slums, haphazard development and congestion.

Land is the primary resource of any community ahd physicalplanning concerns itself with the regulation oi and controlon the USE. of this primary resource to the optimum as wellas best benefit to the community. The planning process,therefore is essentially a process of scientific evolutionof the various categories of economic activities orUses to which the land in a city or a town shouldbe committed. Physical planning or Regional Planning is amethod tbrough which a city attempts to take certaindecisions regarding its future size, form, pattern, direction ofgrowth etc, and also the machinery to implement suchdecisions. Once such broad decisions are taken on city widebasis, it becomes easier to consider day to day issues in theoverall framework to arrive at appropriate solutions.Implementation, of every such solution in the context of the'

22

overall framework takes the city one step further towards therealisation of the ultimate goals and objectives, because nodecision is taken or a programme implemented in isolation.The overall framework in the planning language is called aMaster Plan. The Master Plan is thus a WRITTEN STATE-MENT of Planning Policies and Principles for guiding thefuture growth of a city. It is accompanied by a Land UscPlan and other maps. The Land Use PIan is the translationinto spatial dimensions, of these Policies and Principles. ltshows the distribution of various economic activit ies andfunctions related to a broad transportation system. TheMaster Plan thus provides definite guidelines both for thecity government as well as for the public. Each city hascertain special characteristics of its own and which it maywant to maintain. Certain Assumptions are, therefore, madeand objectives are l isted. Planning Policies are formulatedin accordance with these objectives. Planning Principles. areevolved in the context of these Policies and Objectives. TheMaster PIan is then prepared based on the above. These stepshave been followed in the formulation of Ma"ter Plan forMandalgarh Urban Area.

Mandalgarh is the Sub-divisional headquarter and shallcontinue to be the centre of the regional and local leveladministrative offices. It is an important growth centre audshall attract people from surrounding areas for employmentand rendering the services and exchange of goods. It wil ltransmit the various development activit ies and promote €co-nomic, social cultural upliftment of the surrounding areas.

After the coastruction of Broadguage railway line,Mandalgarh is now important sub-regional terrninus forKota-Chittcrgarh-Bhilwara indusrrial belt. IMandalgarhtown has rich l imestone deposits in its hinterland, therefore,its industrial growth is a certainty. It is located amids richagricultural land and shall continue to be important trade

PLANNINGPOLICIES

PLANNINGPRINCIPLES

In the context of aforesaid planning policies the followingprinciple have been evolved to guide the formulation of thePlan.

(II) The old town is in a diprorabre condition and gives aview of congestion and unhealthy living environment. Theredevelopment programme should, therefore, be undertaken to improve the living cond.itions of the peoplethere.

(III) The Land use Plan should be so evorved as to providemore cohesive functioning and integration between theold settlement and new developments. Thus two areasshould function as complimentary without making anydamage te each others economic and social characteri-stic.

(IV) The commercial areas should be rationaly provided atproper location so as to meet the local and th.e regionaldemand.

(V) An effective transportation plan should be ,evolved sothat it does not create any problem and nuisanse andprovides for proper segregation of local and regionaltraffic.

24

(VIt Development of residential areas should be rational.Development of new areas with proper facilities shouldalso provide relief to old areas which have high densityand are congested.

(VID Various community facilities and services should beprovided keeping in view the local as well as regionaldemand.

(UII) The development control should be provided around theproposed developed area in order to check the haphazardgrowth in periphery. This will also cheek furtherencroachment, on State Highway.

(IX) As an impact of construction of broadgauge railway lineand railway station the adjacent area should be plannedfor related urban functions.

Mandalgarh is a growing town. In 1971, the population ofMandalgarh urban area was 5257 persons and in 1981 it wasrecorded as 7081 persons. During the decade it increased by34.7%. It is expected to grow further at a much faster rate.The population projection have been worked out by compo-nent method, taking into account the natural increase andmigration factof ,seperately. The population projection forMandalgarh town for the year 2006 AD has been projectedas 20,000 persons. In the comin! decades a decline in thebirth rate has been assumed as a result of family planningprogrammes of he Government. A decline in mortalityrate has also been assumed. The industrial and othereconomic development in the town shall attract more peopleseeking employment. Thus the migration rate shall increase.The table below shows the population projected for thetown.

occupational structure for Mandalgarh for the Horizon year2006 AD has been estimated on the basis of past trends andfuture potentialit ies of deveropment in various ecorromicactivities in the town. In l97l large percentage of totalworking force was engaged in agriculture, which was about32.86%. This was mainry because a rarge area of Mandargarhrevenue vil lage was under cultivation. The recent growth ofother economic activities like trade and industry broughtdown the agricultural occupation in 19gl to 21.92o/u. It isestimated that by the horizon year 2006 the working forceshall constitute about 30% of the total population. Therefore,there wil l be 6000 workers in 2006 as against lggg in l9gl.Due to its nodal location, Mandalgarh will be a distributioncentre for trade and commerce. Being the sub divisionalheadquarter, administrative and other services shall also bean important function. However, due to potential line stonedeposits in the hinterrand, Mandargarh shail have predomina-ntly industrial base. Tbe estimated occupational structure ofthe town for 2006 A.D. has been shown in table below.

Land Use Plan

The Master Plan of Mandalgarh has been evolved on the

basis of the study of existing characteristics, involving variousphysical and socio-economic surveys and studies, the existingpattern of development, direction of growth and traffic pattern

and orientation which is required for the plan period. Theproposals for future pattern of growth and development havebeen reflected in the Land U'se Plan. The base year for theplan is 1986 and tbe horizon year is 2006 AD. The Land UsePlan has been conceived to find the appropriate solutions tothe various problems of Mandalgarh town and also provide a

The old city along with adjoining settlements of Taleti, Fortcomplex and Jalesar talab have been taken as a separateplanning zone due to its old development pattern andtraditional character. At present this is the main centre ofbusiness and shopping. This zone is intensively built up withhigh density and narrow roads. It is expected that due todevelopment of better residential areas outside, people wil lcome out of the old settlement and live in new residentialareas.

Bhilwara Road Planning zone extends to an area of about995 acres includlng the development l ikely to take placewithin the area bounded by Bhilwara road and the Railwaystation. It wil l thus consist of most of the future develop-ment activit ies such as work centres l ike ofif ices, railway sta-tion residential area, stadium, college, community centre etc.

32

The area on Bundi Road across,the railway l ine had beentaken as a sepefate planning zone because the railway shallact as a physical barrier in itsnorth. Thiszone wil l include thegrain mandi, ware housing facil i t ies and industrial area Sincethe development have already started along this road most ofthe proposed development have also been envisaged on BundiRoad, so that future growth takes place in a planned way.This zone covers an area of 250 acres.

In order to have a control over the developments in the peri-pherial areas of the town it is proposed to identify a peripheralcontrol belt around the proposed urbanisable area. This zoneshall mostly have the non-urban uses such as agricultural,dairy farming, poultry, orchards, nnrseries etc.

Being a sub-divisional head quarter, Mandalgarh will have anumber of Government & Semi Government offices. At thepresent rate of employment it is expected that abou t l0% oftotal workers or 600 persons shall be employed in Govern-ment and semi-Government offices. Therefore, accommodationhas to be provided for additional 350 workers during theplan period. It is proposed that new office buildings shallgenerally be two to three storeyed. A new site has therefore,been proposed for office use on Bundi Road.' Additionalland has also been provided for expansion of cxisting SDooffice complex on Bhihvara Rc,ad. The location of proposedoffices have been decided on the basis of origin anddqstination of the journey of the .people from their residentialarea. The existing iail on west o] the Bundi road has beenproposed to be shifted. The table below shows the areas ofthe proposed'office cbmplex.

As nuch there is no Katchi Basties in Mandargarh but the ordtown as well as vifiage settrements of Tareti and Jafarabadhave poor l iving donditions. The buirdings are poortyventilated around narrow ranes, with no prop-er communityfacilities or services. Thus the riving environment of suchsettlements are required to be- improved by providingminimum standards of basic urban lac'it ies l ike orinkingwater, public lavatories, surface drainage, paved wark ways,street l ighting ete. Planning & redevelopment is to beundertaken for such setttements.

The facil i t ies l ike educationar, medicar, recreationar have tobe made availabre to the community l iving in a town becausewithout these facil i t ies the community rife wii l be dissatis_factory and uncomfortabre. Therefore, such facilities have to beorovided in proper praces keeping in view the residentiardensity, local trend and scope for future expansion.

Mandalgarh being a regional growth centre has to provideeducationar requireT.nlr not oity for the people of the townbut for the hinterrand. Thus ihe intake in schoors sbarlircrease due to in flow.from the region. In order to meetthe local and regional demand a number of new educationalinstitutions are to be provided in the town. In view of theabove one site for a new higher secondary schoor has beenproposed, in addition to t*o exisiting onrr. A coilege hasalso been proposed for the to*n, --routh

Adequate water, pJwer, sewerage, Dra:nage etc. are the basiccomponents of urban needs. The present state of services wil lnot suffice the needs of the growing population. The servicesshould be planned to meet the growth by the horizon year2006 A.D.

The present water 'sqpply in Mandalgarh is l0 gallons per

capita per day, which is quire less. The consumption is requi-red to be raised to 2O-25 gallons p.c.d. standard. To meet thefuture requirement of warer ruppry, pubric Hearth Engineeringdeptt. should prepare a comprehensive plan. The Deptt.should exploit th'e water resources from the nearby areas andriver beds. A proper water treatment plaTt is also needed.

There is no proper drainage system in Mandalgarh. Existingdrains are open and narrow and quite often get chocked andover flow. trt is because of faulty designof roads and haphzardgrowth of the town. Mandalgarh has no sewerage system.Pub'l ic Health Engineering deptt. should prepare a drainageplan in conformity with the land use plan oi Mandalgarh. lrshould also provide for water borne flush latrine system forthe town.

It is therefore, proposed that the local body should beadequately strengthened and given sufficient powers to haveoverall control on the planning and development of the entireUrban Area. Necessary legal and administrative measureswill have to be taken in this regard.

Development of a city in the ultimate analysis, depends onthe hopes and aspirations of the people. For the speedyrealisation of the Mastcr Plan objectives, it is important tohave the fullest cooperation of the citizens. No plan can everbe succcssful without the active participation of the peoplefor whosc benefit and well bcing it is evolved.. Citizens'participation in the entire process of Planning is thereforevery vital.

A Master Plan is only a picture of likely opportunities fordeveloping a town and can only bc realised provided energeticefforts are made to implement it. A rational or practicalapproach has been evolved while preparing the Master Planfor Mandalgarh. Minimum dislocations of the existing Uses hadbeen aimed at. Moderate level of facilities and services, whichare considered just sufrcient, have bcen sought to be providedfor The Plan has been prepared with the erpress desire forthe betterment of town facilities, increasing public amenitiesand making Mandalgarh a healtheir place for living.
