METHODOLOGY
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
• The term “institutional framework” refers to a set of formal organizational
structures, rules and informal norms for service provisions. Such a
framework is the precondition for the successful implementation of a
project.
• A lack of a sound institutional framework is the root cause of many
failures in service delivery.
INSTITUTIONAL FRAME WORK ?
REFERENCES: Challenges in Developing an Institutional Framework
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
• It is a system by which a state, nation or community is governed. It is
something that makes the law of the land and ensures that all the people in that
nation or community are treated fairly by those laws.
• It makes laws for the social and economic welfare of all members of the
community.
• Governments can be classified into several types. Some of the more common
types of governments are:

GOVERNMENT ?
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKGOVERNANCE ?
• The exercise of political, economic and administrative authority in the
management of a country’s affairs at all levels.
• Governance is a broader notion than government. Governance involves
interaction between formal institutions and civil societies. "Governance" is the art
of public leadership. There are three distinct dimensions of governance:
The form of political regime.
The process by which authority is exercised in the management of a country’s
economic and social resources.
The capacity of governments to design, formulate, and implement policies and
discharge functions.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKGOOD GOVERNANCE?
Good governance occurs when societal norms and practices empower and
encourage people to take increasingly greater control over their own development
in a manner that does not impinge upon the accepted rights of others.
The criteria that constitute good governance:
• Legitimacy of government (degree of "democratization"),
• Accountability of political and official elements of government (media freedom,
transparency of decision-making, accountability mechanisms),
• Competence of governments to formulate policies and deliver services,
• Respect for human rights and rule of law (individual and group rights and
security, framework for economic and social activity, participation).

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKURBAN GOVERNANCE ?
• Urban governance can be defined as the many ways that institutions and
individuals organize the day-to-day management of a city, and the processes used
for effectively realizing the short term and long-term agenda of a city's
development.
Urban Governance Indicators:
• Decentralization – Financial, political
• Planning and predictability
• Effectiveness
• Private sector
REFERENCES: UNCHS Expert Group Meeting on Urban Poverty and Governance Indicators
• Freedom,Justice,Fairness,EquitY
• Accountability and Transparency
• Responsiveness
• Participation
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKGOOD URBAN GOVERNANCE?
•It is a process by which quality of life in the cities can be improved. It is inextricably linked to
citizen welfare and enables the community to access the benefits of urban citizenship including
adequate shelter, security of tenure, safe water, sanitation, a clean environment, health, education and
nutrition, employment and public safety and mobility.
REFERENCES: The Governance Working Group of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences 1996.
URBAN GOVERNANCE INSTITUTIONS
• There are a large number of institutions at state and city levels associated with governing urban
areas – cities and towns. They include:
• State Level – Departments of urban administration, housing, water supply, public health,
environment, welfare, education, health, home, planning, etc. State Finance Commission, State
Election Commission, are the other institutions
• City level - Urban Local Bodies, City Police Department, Pollution Control Boards,
• Parastatal Agencies –DUDA, Development Authorities, Housing Boards, etc

IMPORTANCE OF URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTRODUCTION
• Infrastructure is the basic structure, services and facilities required for the proper
functioning of an economy.
• It refers to the structure require to support the society such as Transportation,
Agriculture, Water Management, Tele - communication, Industrial and
commercial development, power, petroleum and natural gas, Housing and other
segments such as mining, disaster management services and technology related
infrastructure.
• Urban Infrastructure refers to the physical structure present in cities and towns.
• Infrastructure development is a key role to play in both Economic growth and
poverty reduction.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
• In the 1950s the general perception of the policy makers was that India is pre-
dominantly an agriculture-based economy.
• The importance of urban infrastructure has seen a dramatic change from the 1950s
till now.
• Its importance can easily be estimated by the fact that the percentage of urban
population increased from 17.28% in 1951 to 33% in 2015.
• The contribution of the urban population to the GDP has been calculated to be
around 35% and by 2050 it is estimated that cities would contribute 70% of
country’s GDP.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKJNNURM
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM)
• JnNURM is a unique project dedicated to the redevelopment of India's cities.
• Cities and towns of India constitute the world’s second largest urban system. They contribute over 50% of country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and are central to economic growth.
• JnNURM was a massive city-modernisation scheme launched by the Government of India under Ministry of Urban Development.
• It was launched in 2005 for a seven-year period (up to March 2012)

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKAMRUT
Atal Mission For Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)
• The scheme was launched by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in June 2015 with the
focus of the urban renewal projects is to establish
infrastructure
• The scheme is dependent with public private
partnership model(PPP). It includes various other
schemes like Swatch Bharat Mission, Housing for
All 2022, along with the local state schemes
related to water supply and sewerage and other
infrastructure related schemes.
• The focus will be on core infrastructure services

JnNURM AMRUT1.JnNURM aims at creating ‘economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive Cities
1.It aims at Providing basic services (e.g. water supply, sewerage, urban transport) to households and Build amenities in cities
2.It is a wide-ranging urban sector reforms to strengthen municipal governance in accordance with the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992
2.This will improve the quality of life for all, especially the poor and the disadvantaged.
3.The Mission shall comprise two Sub- Missions,(i) Sub-Mission for Urban Infrastructure and Governance(ii) Sub-Mission for Basic Services to the Urban Poor
3.AMRUT can be considered to be a remodelled version of the JnNURM wherein the government has worked on many flaws present under the earlier programme.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKTRANSFORMATION: From JnNURM to AMRUT
Issue in JNNRUM Corrective Measure through AMRUT1 Unsatisfactory Implementation of Reforms: Less
than 3/4th of the reforms were implemented in North East States, Haryana and Bihar; while some states could not even manage to roll out the reforms.
AMRUT seeks to incentivize reform by earmarking 10% of the total funds as an incentive to be released on implementation of reform measures.
2 Slow Progress of Projects: Overall, only 42% projects were completed under JNNRUM (even after extension of deadline by 2 years).
Government would be allocating funds for these incomplete projects and extend the deadline for their completion. Also, now the state governments would only submit a State Annual Action Plan based on which they would be allocated funds. The Centre will not appraise individual projects.
3 Narrow Eligibility Condition For Projects: The eligibility conditions for assistance under the JNNURM were narrow and only 63 cities/urban agglomerations qualified for assistance under the scheme.
AMRUT would cover projects in 500 cities and towns each with a population of 1 lakh and above, some cities situated on stems of main rivers, a few capital cities and important cities located in hilly areas, islands and tourist areas.
4 Limited Scope of Modernization: JnNURM focused upon treatment of sewage and garbage, augmentation of water supply, building roads and flyovers.
New additions being introduced include digitization and Wi-Fi zones in cities, aimed at improving urban governance.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKFAILURE OF JnNURM
Competence of Planners
• The mission was centrally planned in New Delhi and its objectives were blindly
accepted and adopted across the states
• The required administrative reforms and accountability were ignored.
• The infrastructure planning was limited to just addition of new Core Infrastructure as
suggested by private consultants.
• The planners were neither trained nor competent in understanding the social needs
for which they were planning
• This was one of the major flaws that resulted in failure
Source :www.effectivestates.org
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Approach adopted by Planners.
• One of the mission's primary objective was a projection that improving infrastructure would be a solution and would cause urban renewal.
• The objective failed to account for capability/capacity & willingness of ULB authorities to learn, participation of the citizens being limited to just inviting comments, and lack of focused research were the important reasons for its failure.
Funding of Projects.
• Since the Objectives of the mission were vague and not easily understood, the funds were either diverted or misused.
The central funding had to be matched by the states to achieve stability. But lack of monitoring, review and no provision for midterm course correction caused serious damage to the renewal mission.

URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
CONCLUSION
Implementation of the mandatory and optional reforms by Government was largely satisfactory.
Execution of a majority of test checked projects was adversely affected due to non-availability of required land/defective designs.
Lack of co-ordination with the related departments, splitting up of works into innumerable sub-works, change of technology
Monitoring mechanism was not adequate to ensure that projects were executed within time to the envisaged quality standards.
RECOMMENDATIONS
State Government should ensure preparation of Detailed Project Reports with authenticated inputs from survey reports and ensure strict compliance with all the pre-requisites before commencing project execution.
Effective co-ordination with other Departments responsible for granting clearances must be ensured.
Government orders relating to two-stage tendering process (survey and investigation, and execution) should be strictly adhered .
Monitoring mechanism, as stipulated in the guidelines, should be strengthened to ensure that projects are executed on time within the budgeted cost.

SCENARIO OF URBAN INSTITUTIONS IN HYDERABAD
• THE QUTB SHAHI STAGE (OR) THE FIRST TWIN CITY STAGE (1591-1687).Hyderabad city was planned on a grid pattern consisting of two main roads, running East–West and North–South and intersecting at Charminar, the city centre.
• THE TRANSITIONAL PHASE (1687-1725).This period began with a halt in the active life and growth of the city. The authority was shifted from Hyderabad to Aurangabad, the Southern headquarters of Moghul Empire. Towards the end of 1725 Nizam Mulk Asaf Jah founded the Asaf Jahi Dynasty of Hyderabad and took firm control of the Deccan & the Hyderabad city.
• THE EARLY ASAF JAHI PERIOD (1725-1798).This period is characterized by two distinct phases,
• INHIBITION (1725–1763):-It was one of the great economic stress and strain for Hyderabad because Aurangabad was still the capital.The death of Asaf Jahi I in 1748 and the Anglo – French struggle for supremacy over Deccan (1750-1760) renewed political uncertainty which adversely affected Hyderabad’s growth.
• ACCELERATION (1763–1798):-The Nizam of the Deccan, Nizam Ali Khan (1761-1796) shifted his head quarters to Hyderabad. Hyderabad thus re-emerged as the Chief City of the Deccan after an eclipse of seventy six years.
HISTORY
4 THE SECOND TWIN CITY STAGE (1798-1874).In 1798 two significant political decisions profoundly altered the course of the city’s development.Decision 1:-In the first instance the subsidiary alliance of the Nizam with the East India Company in 1798 created Secunderabad and consequently ushered in second phase of the development of Hyderabad through with settlements.Decision 2:-The Nizam’s permission for the construction of the British Residency on the North bank changed the trend of the Hyderabad’s growth.In 1886, the Chadargat becomes Chadarghat Municipality. The Hyderabad City Police, established in 1847, is the law and order enforcement agency.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad
5 THE RAILWAY PERIOD (1874-1908).
The inception of the Railway in the twin cities led to a considerable growth, much of it oriented to the Railway stations, goods yards, associated ware house areas and industrial regions. From Bombay, the Railway line spanning Hyderabad and Secunderabad in 1874 was extended to Madras via Warangal in 1898.
6 THE MODERN (OR) METROPOLITAN STAGE (1908-1956).
The modern area of the twin settlements and their fusion into a great metropolis. The flood of 28th September, 1908 was subsequently followed by events of economic & political significance which changed the social, cultural, political & economic structure of the twin cities.
In the year 1912 and greater attention was given to the provision of infrastructure facilities have added to the physical growth of the city.
In 1921, Hyderabad Municipality increases to 84 sq km. Electricity, water and sewerage services to general public were first commissioned in 1925, with the establishment of The City Endowment Board.

ISSUES
CONTINUED ……
RAIN WATER PITS
A whopping Rs 100 crore collected by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal
Corporation (GHMC) from house owners and building contractors over the past
three years for digging rainwater harvesting pits have allegedly been diverted or
lying unaccounted.
The GHMC, under the Water, Land and Trees Act (WALTA) had been collecting
Rs 8 for every square yard for recharge pits. "It is evident that no proper records
were maintained about the funds.
TAX PAYERS
• Home owners who paid their tax early are disappointed with the GHMC for its failure to live up to its promise. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation had announced that five per cent discount would be offered on property tax for owners who paid their tax by April-end.
• With just four days to go for the first month of the current financial year to end, the tempting sop is yet to be implemented. Over 90,000 tax payers have till now paid `22 crore, but nobody has got the rebate.
• “The tall promises of five per cent discount on tax paid before April-end,2013.
UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE SYSTEM The under ground drainage system in the city is about 60 kms. There are about 30 NALAS in the city which are not maintaining properly and some under KABJAH
which are blocking the passage. Due this the rain water is stagnating on the roads. Through JnNURM about 266 crores has been sanctioned which are been wasted. Due the KABJAHS, the 30feet NALAS are getting decreased to just 7 feet. According to the govt about 10,000 crores has been sanctioned for improvisation.
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKISSUES IN WATER SUPPLY:
HMWSSB is monitoring of water supply in the entire GHMC area including 10 peripheral municipalities and
sewerage operations in the core city
• 30 colonies in the surrounding circles of the (GHMC) have been waiting for piped water supply for the
past two years despite residential welfare associations paying their 30% contribution.
• Thirteen colonies in the GHMC's LB Nagar circle had paid their share for providing water pipeline
network in 2010.
INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF WATER:
• As against the demand of 490 Million Gallons of water per day (MGD), the HMWS&SB claims to
supply about 340 MGD but in reality not even 320-330 MGD is being supplied.
• The board is chalking out contingency plans to use additional pumping motors for drawing water from
dead storage levels of Osmansagar and Himayatsagar.
URBAN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
CONCLUSION :
Clearly, the “good governance” policies did not always achieve their goals, but it can
be argued that they contributed to creating awareness among the public and within
the administration and have influenced the discourse surrounding both public service
delivery and development in the state.
Grass root level approach like bottom up required in any decision making process at
local level and need political support .
Making each service online is a big initiative from government but it is important
that how far it reaches a common man . ?
SOLUTIONS:
• Measuring effectiveness:
• Public opinion polling results on satisfaction with government performance.
• Polling results and customer satisfaction ratings of individual urban services.
• Rate of vandalism in public places and theft of public property.
• Rate of community participation in planning and implementation of programs.
Public Engagement in Decision-Making :
• Engage residents as elected or appointed members of governing boards of appropriate
municipal organizations, such as libraries, schools, police oversight boards or power
authorities.
• Conduct systematic public consultations before adopting plans and budgets, and adopt results
of consultations within limits of available resources
Public Information and Access:
• Provide public and media access to most city council sessions.
• Provide minutes of council sessions on notice boards at city hall, in public
libraries and other public locations.
• Publish proposed plans for land use, municipal budgets, etc. in advance for
public comment.
Questions?
The 74th Constitutional Amendment requires that 18 functions be
transferred to urban local bodies, as per Schedule XII. Yet, it can be
seen that many functions are still be held by state governments, para-
statal bodies, etc. What are your thoughts on the extent of full
decentralisation of functions? What challenges are facing state
governments from implementing the 74th CAA? How can these be
overcome?
Questions?• What are your thoughts on the reliance of municipalities on grant funding for
their activities? What should be the political obligations for grant support to municipalities
• What role can communities and localised user groups play in being part of such new arrangements? How can these be integrated into the municipality’s larger decision-making processes?
• What are the capacity issues being faced by elected representatives at the municipal level? How can these be addressed?
• How can we provide an integrated platform for community engagement on various public issues facing our municipalities, in a manner that is linked into the municipality’s overall political structure, rather than treat communities differently for each service?
