CHAPTER 1 – Introduction
1.1 Background:
Orissa is a prominent state of India with a long coastline and a storehouse of mineral wealth.
Because of its mineral wealth and strategic location it attracts significant investment in steel,
aluminum, power, refineries, and infrastructure. Orissa is also emerging as a player in the
outsourcing IT (Information Technology) and IT services industry. Contemporary Orissa has
a rich cultural heritage that is an outcome of the intermingling of three great religious
traditions - Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The state has a population of 36.8 million
(2001 Census). About 85% of the population lives in the villages and one third of the rural
population does not own any land other than homesteads. Orissa is one of the 5th least
urbanized state in India with only 15% of its population (5.5 million) living in towns and
cities. The state comprises of 103 urban local bodies (ULB’s) Comprising of two municipal
corporations and 101 municipalities.
The urban areas in the state have huge potential for promoting economic growth and for
reducing poverty are constrained by various factors such as lack of financial resources, poor
level of services, and weak capability of ULB’s. Government of India, state government and
multi lateral agencies such as DFID, UNDP etc are playing a significant role in enabling the
ULB’S to overcome these challenges. In this context, GoI has launched fiscal incentive
programmes viz., JnNURM, UIDSSMT, IHSDP that provide significant grant support linked
to reforms implementation. These programmes offer huge opportunities to ULB’s for
promoting economic growth and service delivery in an equitable manner.
1.2 Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium

Towns (UIDSSMT) Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM):
Considering the growing role of cities as engines of economic growth and poverty reduction
in the country, the Government of India (GOI) has launched Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Urban Infrastructure Development Schemes in
Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT), with the aim to create economically productive,
efficient, equitable and responsive cities. Under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission, 63 cities are eligible for accessing funds. These 63 cities comprise of mega
cities, metropolitan cities, capital cities and cities of architectural and cultural importance. To
access the funds under JNNURM, these 63 cities are required to prepare a CDP and
implement a set of reforms at the State and the City levels by entering into a tripartite
agreement. It is mandatory to prepare a City Development Plan through consultative process.

The remaining cities and towns are covered under the UIDSSMT programme, which also
provides grant support by linking investments to reforms implementation. Under UIDSSMT
towns and cities are encouraged to formulate City Development Plans for holistic and
planned development.
1.3 City Development Plan

The City Development Plan under JnNURM and UIDSSMT focuses on the development of
economic and social infrastructure, strategies that deal specifically with issues affecting the
urban poor, strengthening of municipal governments and their financial accounting and
budgeting systems and procedures, creation of structures for bringing in accountability and
transparency, and elimination of legal and other bottlenecks that have stifled the land and
housing markets. It provides a basis for cities to undertake urban sector reforms that help
direct investment into city-based infrastructure.
The CDP of a city is a reflection of the city’s stakeholders aspirations and comprises of vision
for the city, a strategic action plan and city assistance programme.
In this context State Urban Development Agency SUDA (a state level nodal agency) has
appointed Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), Hyderabad for the preparation of
city development plans (CDP’s) for three cities i.e. Cuttack, Sambalpur & Berhampur of
Orissa. These three cities i.e. Cuttack, Berhampur and Sambalpur have also been covered
under UIDSSMT, Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) and the
study on preparation of CDPs by ASCI assumes importance since it is desirable to access
funds under these programmes.
The study entrusted to ASCI also assumes importance in the context of recently launched
UNDP project titled “Capacity Building for Decentralized Urban Governance” for four
Urban Local Bodies namely Cuttack. Puri, Berharmpur, Sambalpur, to improve their
infrastructure and quality of life that falls far short of global benchmarks. The UNDP project
also envisages preparation of City Development Plans for the project cities.
The Administrative Staff College Of India has prepared the CDP Reports for cities of
Cuttack, Berhampur and Sambalpur separately. This report presents the City Development
Plan for Cuttack city.
1.3.1 Objectives:
The purpose of CDP is to present and analyze the current status of city development, identify
priorities and future requirements and provide a framework and vision for effective

implementation of development projects. It emphasizes on issues of priority local concerns
for livability, and the implied requirements in terms of:
• Enhancing city productivity
• Reducing poverty
• Specific emphasis to gender
• Improving urban governance
• Enhancing financial sustainability and
• Preparing the city for effective disaster management.
1.3.2 Scope of the work
The CDP is prepared keeping in view the tool kits, guidelines and instructions provided by
SUDA, and also JnNURM guidelines for preparation of CDP. The scope of work included
the following:
A situation analysis, focusing on demographic trends, land use pattern, economic growth, city
governance and status on access and coverage of services (i.e. water supply, sewerage,
sanitation, solid waste management, road network, urban transport, street lighting,
redevelopment of inner (old) city area, basic services to urban poor and other social
infrastructure).
Study of existing setup of departments, issues of inter departmental coordination and review
of various projects being executed or proposed.
A future perspective for the city clearly showing the direction of change as well as a vision
and framework for economic growth and increased access to services. (sectoral agenda,
reform agenda, quality of life, urban services, social and gender inclusion etc.)
Formulating development strategies in the areas of economic development, governance, land

use, urban poor, core municipal infrastructure, urban environment and cultural heritage etc.,
prioritization and linkage with reform agendas.
City Investment Plan (CIP) with clear estimates of investments and financing options,
referring to the order of investment needed to implement the perspective and alternative
financing strategies.
To identify key institutional stakeholders, their financial status report with service provision
including an analysis of their credit worthiness and efficiency of the institutional framework.

To prepare population forecast for next 20 for the year 2031 by standard methods and to
incorporate the proposed population with approval of the concerned Urban Local Bodies.
To consult relevant parastatal department like Sambalpur Development Authority,

Berhampur Development Authority, Cuttack Development Authority, Housing Board, Slum
Clearance Board, NH, NHAI, Railway, State Electricity Company, Irrigation Department.
OSRTC, State R & B, Environment & Forest, Bureau of Economics and Statistics etc. before
preparation of CDP so that projects concerned with them are included in the CDP for the
advantage of the ULB.
To organize meetings and workshops with various stakeholders and to consider the outcomes
and issues that arise in such meetings. These outcomes and issues shall be considered while
framing the CDP.
To give special attention and consideration for the works to be taken in hand for cities that
have pertinent potential for developing as tourism center, city of historical and heritage

CDP Process
The study has involved four key phases for the Phase 1 Preparatory Phase
CDP Preparation. Phase 1, focused on current
state assessment with assistance from State Urban Phase 2 Envisioning Phase
Development Agency (SUDA) Bhubaneswar.
This phase has laid the foundation for planning Phase 3 Strategizing Phase
and undertaking the CDP process and consisted
of the following steps: Phase 4 Documentation Phase

Phase 1
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3

Initial Current State Stakeholder Stakeholder
Meetings Assessment Identification and Consultation for
Analysis
Situational Analysis
Initial Meetings:
ASCI team has met the key officials of SUDA, the officials of urban local body and other
key institutions including the parastatals to initiate the exercise. The exercise has aimed at
achieving/ understanding the following:
STEP 1: Stakeholder Identification and Analysis
ASCI, in consultation with SUDA and local ULB officials has identified the key
stakeholders, analysed the importance of each of them in the CDP process and their potential
in influencing the process. The stakeholders’ were extensively involved in the CDP process.
STEP 2: Initial Stakeholders’ Consultations
ASCI with support from SUDA and ULB has organized a city level consultation meeting to
obtain the inputs of the key stakeholders. The objective of the consultation meeting was to
brief the stakeholders about the CDP initiative, obtain their inputs for the same and inform
the progress of activities. The consultations focused on the following:
• Inputs on identification of critical focus areas of city development

• Discussions on key issues, concerns and challenges of the city
• Garner suggestions and recommendations.

STEP 3: Current State Assessment
ASCI has undertaken a study of the current situation in the areas of economy, land use,
services,poverty finances etc, with the stakeholders’ participation and involvement. The
objective of this step was to obtain comprehensive information and consequently, an in-
depth understanding of the existing state of affairs in terms of information necessary for
preparation of the city development plan. This helped to identify the critical sectors of
development and focus areas of CDP. The following approach was adopted for assessing the
current situation.
City Assessment
Study the past and existing development plans/ policies/ initiatives with respect to
infrastructure, poverty, disaster, gender, economy, environment, etc. and their impact on the
city
Demographic and socio economic status of the city, spatial spread and growth directions;
associated issues, strategy options to address key issues
Institutional Arrangements: key stakeholder agencies, their functional and territorial

jurisdictions, organizational capacities and associated issues like coordination, overlapping of
jurisdictions etc.
Current level of housing and urban basic services in the city – in terms of quantity, coverage,
quality and reliability – current demand supply gaps and future requirement based on
appropriate norms of service delivery/ stakeholder expectations; project identification and
description, CIP
Assessment of the financial status of the ULB, bringing out key financial indicators and an
assessment or credit worthiness of the stakeholder agency in terms of financial performance
and operating surpluses
Identification of the key issues, challenges and focus areas of growth and development which
may include urban poor, areas of inner city for urban renewal, commercial and industrial
establishments, heritage areas, etc.
Forecasting the trends in population growth, infrastructure needs and resource requirements
in the short, medium and long term

Phase 2 Envisioning Phase
Phase 2 of the study involved envisioning exercise with various key stakeholder
organizations. The objective of this phase was to draw up a City Strategic Vision and City
Investment Planning for the thrust areas identified, in discussion with SUDA and ULB.
PHASE 2: ENVISIONING PHASE
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5
Theme Thrust Future Visioning Preparation &

Developme Area State Workshop Refinement of
nt Identificati Definition CIP
STEP 1: Theme Development
The vision for the city was evolved around specific themes for development. ASCI has
assisted stakeholders in identifying one central or core theme on the basis of defined criteria
for economic development of each city, driving the future planning and economic initiatives.
The core theme was supported by other themes built around it as sub-themes for growth/
development.
Theme Identification Criteria:

1. Potential Economic Impact
2. Multiplier Effect on Other Sectors
3. Uniqueness of Positioning
STEP 2: Thrust Area Identification
Subsequently, ASCI has identified the thrust areas taking into consideration the stakeholders
aspirations and expectations of key officials of SUDA. Within each thrust area, the
development enablers, that require focused attention for the development of each city, were
identified.

Thrust Areas For Each City*
Industry Governance Social Development
Economic goals growth Stakeholder accountability and Poverty reduction and slum
Engines (Focus Industry participation streamlining, improvement
Sectors) Social infrastructure
administration transparency
equitable service delivery Gender perspective
STEP 3: Future State Definition
Based on the above activities and inputs from the previous exercises, a draft vision was
formulated and presented to the key stakeholders for their inputs and approval.
STEP 4: Visioning Workshop
A visioning workshop was conducted with the key stakeholders to present and discuss the
draft vision and year wise sectoral strategies for the city.
STEP 5: Preparation and Refinement of CIP
Subsequent to formulation of the City Strategic Vision, a City Investment Plan was
formulated for various key areas of development, that would be required for achieving the
defined vision.
Phase 3:Strategizing:
This phase has involved identification of specific program and projects in each development
area and a brief description of them covering an overview of the proposed program/project
including the program/ project goal, objectives, broad financial implications and contribution
to the vision actualization.
Implementation Action Plan
This step involved preparation of an implementation plan with clear milestones for the
identified projects to ensure timely implementation and sustainable stakeholder participation.

Phase 4: Documentation Phase
This phase has involved sharing of all the reports and outputs with SUDA, ULB and key
stakeholders and finalizing the same after incorporating their feedback. These outputs are
documented for the purpose of wider dissemination.
1.5 Integrating gender concern in all the process:
A key thrust of the CDP is to bring gender focus in the preparation of CDP, this has been
presented through following.
1. Stakeholder consultation and FGD’s were help separately for women and men.
2. Wherever possible, primary and secondary data was collected analyzed and
prescribed separately for women and men.
3. The strategies for city investment plan were prepared incorporating the gender
development.
1.6 Spatial Coverage of Cuttack city Development Plan
The spatial coverage of the proposed Cuttack CDP was determined based on the Following
1. Mapping of the present municipal area 192.5 Sq.Km, development area 274.37 sq.km.
2. City reconnaissance to understand the growth potential, growth direction and extent of
growth on the city outskirts.
3. Consultations with pertinent stakeholders on the city’s future growth potential and
directions of growth vis-à-vis the proposed coverage of the CDP.
4. Report prepared by the IIT Kharagpur on the proposed perspective plan – vision 2030
and comprehensive development plan for Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Urban complex.

The area of Cuttack Municipal Corporation is 192.5 sq.kms, which includes Kathajori and
Mahanadi rivers. Development area of 274.37 sq.kms is considered as city development plan
area, due to the limited area available for future growth of the city. This area covers Cuttack
Municipal Corporation, Chowdwar Municipality and Cuttack Development Auhtority rural
area.
1.6 Timeframe for CDP

Based on the discussions with stakeholders, following timeframe for CDP is suggested:
Start date – 2008
Mid period – 2011 and 2021
End date – 2028; however, the end date is rounded off to the closest census year of 2031.
1.7 The Relationship Between Master Plan And CDP
Master Plan is a spatial document. CDP is a far more comprehensive vision document and
would subsume the master plan. CDP should indicate the direction in which the city would
like to move on.
The City Development plan area of Cuttack city is equal to the master plan area.
Particulars Area in Sq.Kms
Municipal Corporation Area 192.5
Master Plan Area 274.37
City Development Plan Area 274.37

CHAPTER 2 – City Profile, Demography and Economy
2.1 City Profile:
Cuttack city is the former capital and one of the oldest cities of Orissa. It is the administrative
headquarters of the district and is situated at a distance of about 25 km. to the north of
Bhubaneswar, the present capital of Orissa. The city is located on low fine sand plateau, and
it is well connected with the major Indian Metropolis like Kolkata, Chennai and New Delhi
and other urban centres of Orissa through a network of roads and rails. The National
Highway No.5 linking Kolkata and Chennai passes through Cuttack. The geography of city
restricts the growth on any direction due to existence of Kathajori and Mahanadi rivers on
three sides leaving the eastern side towards Jagatsinghpur District and Port Paradeep for
limited expansion. The city is world famous for its silver and gold filigree works, so it is
called the silver city of Orissa. The brief profile of the city is presented in below table.

2.2 Regional Setting:
The regional setting of any city not only forms the base for its further development but also
has a great influence towards improving its economy and raising its standards.
Cuttack is no exception to the above fact. By virtue of its centrality, location, salubrious
climate and propulsive effects of a growing city, its regional setting can be understood in
respect of following three characteristics:
o State of Orissa
o Old capital Sub-Region
o Golden Triangle of Tourism
It is situated at the apex of the Mahanadi Delta one of the fertile deltas of the country. The
uniqueness of this position is further elevated by the regional transportation networks passing
through Cuttack. The high and rugged land to the West and the featureless alluvial plains to
the East have forced all the communication routes through Cuttack. The location of Cuttack
on the National Highway No. 5 connecting Chennai & Kolkata gives the necessary
accessibility to the metropolitan cities of the country. Both the lifelines of Southeast India i.e.
National Highway No. 5 and Kolkata-Chennai railway line of the South-Eastern Railway
pass through the city. These linkages not only connect the two metropolitan cities but also
help to connect other important towns such as Berhampur, Chilka, Bhubaneswar, to the south
of Orissa and Balasore and Bhadrak to the North of Cuttack. It is also very well connected to
Choudwar, a major industrial centre to the North of Cuttack through the Mahanadi & Birupa
Bridges. It is also connected to Sukhinda mines to the North-East of Cuttack, Talcher an
industrial centre, to the North-West of Cuttack, a fast emerging industrial center.
So far as regional transportation system is concerned Cuttack is connected to other important

towns in the North & North-West, like Sambalpur, Rourkela, Balangir, Rajgaonpur,
Jharsaguda and Sundargarh through National Highway No. 42 and other state Highways and
rail linkages and to the East, the Taldanga canals as well as Paradeep port. Cuttack is also
very well connected by road and rail with Bhubaneswar, the new capital of Orissa and an

administrative and institutional centre at a distance of 30 kms as well as Puri and Konark,
places of international religious importance and tourist attraction at a distance of 90 kms
from Cuttack. Thus, the commanding position of Cuttack is reinforced by these
transportation networks, which connect the town to almost each and every important town
within the state as well as some of the significant towns and metropolis outside the state.
2.3 Physical Characteristics:
2.3.1 Geographical Location and Topography:

The city is located in the Eastern Part of India on 20o 29’ North Latitude and 85o - 52’ East
Longitude in the coastal plain of District Cuttack. The important natural boundaries are the
rivers Mahanadi, Kathajori, Birupa and Kuakhai. The maximum width of the city is 2.5
miles from north to south and its’ maximum length is 8.5 miles from east to west.
Location Map of Cuttack City
Figure 2-1 Location Map of Cuttack City
Cuttack
2.3.2 Topography and Drainage Channel:

The accumulation of sand over the years in the riverbed has resulted the riverbed being
comparatively higher than the average level of the town area. Therefore topography of

Cuttack is typical saucer-shaped with the riverbed being at a higher level than that of the
city. The average elevation is 30.72 meters above the mean sea level. The general
topography of the town is gently sloping from West to East.
2.3.3 Climatic Conditions:
Cuttack falls within what is meteorologically a coastal division. Accordingly, it has got three
seasons characteristic of maritime tropical countries namely the cold weather, the hot weather
and the monsoon weather. The tracks of storm that cross the Bay of Bengal during South
West monsoon passes over the City. Temperature varies from 15o Celsius to 40o Celsius.
The major monsoon season is June to September.
2.4 Historical Importance of the city:
The history of Cuttack City amply justifies its name. The KATAKA, etymologically
means, army Cantonment and also old Capital City. It started as a military cantonment
because of its impregnable situation and then developed to be the Capital of the State. The
choice of Cuttack as a Capital by the early rulers was motivated by the protection offered
by the physical features of its defense.
Both physical and economic development of Cuttack came into being after the occupation
of Cuttack by the Britishers in 1803, from 1916 AD, after the construction of bridges on
Rivers Mahanadi, Birupa, Brahmani and Baitarani, and implementation of the plan for the
National and Express Highways, the economy of Cuttack has grown substantially as its
hinterlands were extended towards West as well as to North and North-East of Cuttack.
Cuttack has been enjoying all along the unique privilege of being the administrative and
commercial nerve center of Orissa. The Bengal Nagpur Railway line presently known as
Howrah-Chennai Railway line under South-Eastern Railway was introduced in 1919
connecting Cuttack with Chennai and Kolkata. This provided enormous opportunities for
trade and inland communications with Cuttack creating facilities for the healthy growth of
the township.

There is a substantial growth rate of marginal workers from 1001 in 1991 to 13637 in 2001.
The female marginal workers contribute high in numbers in 2001 compared to 1991 figures,
probably due to low literacy rate and low skill level of women.

Above figures show that in comparison to 1991 there is a drop in number of cultivators and
agricultural labours in the year 2001. Household Industry and other workers have increased
significantly. The classification of main workers indicates that trade and commerce and other
services together contributes more than 60 % percent of main workers. Next to that
manufacturing other than HHI and transport and storage together contributes about 30
percent of main workers. This indicates that Cuttack economy is quite diversified.

As, it is seen from the table, primary sector employment contributes very little to the urban
economy. Primary sector employment is assumed to decline with the increase in population
because of the increasing pressure on the land, acquiring of rural land for urban development
and introduction of new techniques in the field. Secondary and tertiary sector is assumed to
grow in a pattern consistent with the current trends.

Manufacturing industries and construction labour will increase with the improvement of
infrastructure, allocation of space and increased accessibility in future. Tertiary sector
employment will also increase both in percentage and absolute number and trade and
commerce will further boost up due to increase in wholesale activities, development of
organised market centres and better linkages. Employment in the transport sector will also
increase in absolute number though the overall percentage may remain same. The percentage
of employment in other services is also likely to increase owing to more specialization and
intensification of activities.
Social indicators:
With regards to the social indicators it is found that there is a significant difference between
males and females with regard to literacy rate, sex ratio and work force participation rate are
yet to progress. Women participation and decision making in community, ward and
municipality is also not up to the desired level.
Other facilities:
There are 273 educational institutions which includes 118 Primary Schools, 64 M.E. Schools,
64 High Schools, 17 Colleges, One Medical College, 2 Engineering Colleges, 2 Law
Colleges, 2 Training Colleges and 3 Industrial Training Institutes. City has also got good
health facilities. Often people from Bhubaneswar visit Cuttack for health checkups. There are
9 Hospitals, 23 Dispensaries, 6 Medical Units, and 9 Nursing Homes. Cuttack was an
administrative center of the state, has got many central and state government offices in its
jurisdiction including high court. It has got very limited open space for recreation due to its
restricted boundaries.

Cuttack is known for its trade and commerce and most of the important wholesale market
areas like Malgodown, Kesharpur, Ranihat, Choudhury Bazar, Balubazar are located in the
city. The commercial influence zone of Cuttack is not restricted within the state of Orissa,
but extents to its vast hinterland throughout India.
The commercial growth of Cuttack has been accelerated by a number of newly emerged
economic growth magnets in its vicinity like Choudwar, Barang and Talcher Industrial
Complex, which continue to depend upon Cuttack for their major commercial needs. Cuttack
is also well connected with Paradeep port, which indirectly helps the development of
commercial activity through its international trade.
2.7.2 Whole sale market: Malgodown
Malgodown area lies near the transportation corridors like the O.M.P. Road, Taldanga Canal
and the S.E. Railway line. It’s the biggest market in Orissa and its influence zone is all over
the Orissa state as well as outside of it.
The total area of the market is about 5 Acres. A part of land belongs to railways, who has
given on lease for 99 years. The land rent is being paid to railways and building rent to the
municipal corporation by wholesale shop owners. There are around 5,000 workers and the
daily revenue is of approximately Rs1 crore.
Following are the key Issues faced by the Malgodown Market:
• No parking place for trucks.
• Absence of public toilets
• The vehicles parked on the roadside creating congestion in the market.
• The existing structures are very old and need to rebuild them.
• Lack of safety for goods in the market.

Qadam-I-Rasool, Netaji Seva Sadan, Paramhansa, Dhabaleswa, Barabati Stadium, Orissa
High Court, Ansupa Lake, Naraj Picnic Spot etc. The city is located close to the capital and it

has got good rail and road connectivity to most of the important destinations in Orissa as well
as in India. It is found that around 356691 tourists visited the place in the year 2006.The city
has got good number of hotels and restaurants for boarding and lodging of tourists.

Above table shows that there is a significant increase in domestic tourists but at the same time
number of foreign tourists is declining over the last three years due to natural disasters and
also due to health related concerns. Following are the tourist attraction places in and around
the city.
Barabati Fort :
Constructed originally during the Ganga rule in the 13th

Century A.D., it is surrounded by moat and double enclosures.
Among the structural remains of the fort, the arched gateway
and a mosque of Fath khan are interesting.
Deer Park: Deer Park is situated in Madhusudhan Nagar. It

is a place for nature lovers. With a lot of beautiful Deers
running here and their stops the breath of it's visitors. It is all
about excitement, entertainment, and experience of beauty
around the woods.
Dhabaleswar : It is situated at a distance of 7 kms. from

Cuttack on the bed of river Mahanadi. It is famous for the Dhabaleswar temple . A large
festival is celebrated here in the Indian traditional month of Kartik .(November month).
Qadam- I- Rasool : Situated in the centre of the city it is sacred to the Hindus as well as the
Muslims. This 18th century shrine shelters the footprints of Prophet Mohammed on a circular
stone in its central mosque. There are two more beautiful mosques and a music gallery.
Paramahasanath temple : People visit the Paramahansanath of Shiva on a holy day . The
temple on the outskirts of the town is famous for its water hole (Ananta garva),which floods

the sanctum santorum on holy occasions.
Banki : 52-km from Cuttack, has the shrine of Goddess Charchika on the bank of the
Mahanadi. The eight-armed deity of Chamunda is worshipped here according to tantric rites.
A temple is situated on a hillock in that place dedicated to the Goddess Charchika .
Mahavinayak : At a distance of 2 kms. from Chandikhol to the West is the seat of famous
Ancient Shiva temple of Mahavinayak.
Chhatia : It is situated at the distance of 35 kms. from Cuttack. It is famous for Lord
Jagannath Temple.
Baneswar : It is situated on the bed of the river Mahanadi and is famous for the Shiva
temple and the tourists can enjoy the beauty of the nature.
Niali-Madhab : It is situated at a distance of 42 km. from Cuttack. It is famous for the

temple of Sovaneswara Shiva.
Ansupa : It is a beautiful lake and is situated at the distance of 60 kms from Cuttack. The
charming nature attracts the tourists. The lake is a heaven for migratory birds in winter. The
lake offers facilities for boating and fishing.
Naraja : This is one of the scenic spots on the bank of the Mahanadi in the south, which
boasts of many Buddhist images. It is 15 kms. from Cuttack.
2.9 Culture & Heritage:
Cuttack acts as bridge linking the past, present and future of state’s History and Heritage.It is
one of the old cities of India with her life spread over more than thousand years being famous
as the: Millennium City”. Orissa has several festivals. All those festivals are celebrated in a
grand way at Cuttack. But the Unique festivals of Cuttack are Baliyatra and Durga Puja.
"Bali Yatra" is held in the bank of river Mahanadi and

infront of the Barabati fort at Cuttack . This is held on the
full moon day of Kartika and lasts about 7 to 8 days. This
fair is also called as second kumbha mela, because here a
buyer can everything from needle to car , even residential
plots.

Traders from all over the State flock to Cuttack to participate in the Baliyatra held near the
ancient Barabati Fort. For nearly a week, the entire town is crowded with visitors to the fair,
who enjoy the rides and games, and savour typical Baliyatra delicacies.
Durga Puja is celebrated in the month of October, celebrations start weeks ahead. The entire
state strikes a different chord altogether echoing the music of bonhomie, brotherhood and
festivity. Durga Puja symbolises the commemoration of good over evil. Life comes to a
stand-still in the city of Cuttack as crowds pour over the Puja Mandaps to enjoy the
festivities. On the day succeeding ‘Vijaya Dasami’, the last day of Dussera, the images are
taken in a spectacular procession for immersion in the river Kathajodi.
2.9 Industrial Activities:
Handicraft sector
Cuttack is famous for silver filigree works throughout the country. The industrial culture of
manufacture of handicrafts has been evolved since seventeenth century. Particularly silver
filigree, horn works, patta chitra and dokhra casting were recognized during British rule.
About 680 artisans are engaged in silver filigree work and around 60 skilled workers in
Appliqué work in Cuttack city.
Small-scale sector:
The city is also having many small-scale industries like leather, food and allied products ,
paper products etc.
Large and Medium Scale Industries
Medium and large scale manufacturing industries are mostly post independence
manifestation in Cuttack. They are mainly glass, textiles, paper, soft drinks, power loom
products, and jute fabrics. Large-scale industries (O.T.M., ICCL, etc) were established at
Choudwar, whereas small and medium scale industries have developed near the Jagatpur
industrial estate, towards the north bank of river Mahanadi.
Thus, with proper incentives offered by the government in promoting the private sector,
Cuttack, in future, may further develop as an industrial centre of Orissa with the
concentration of household, small medium and large-scale industries.

CHAPTER 3 -- Land use and Urban Environment
3.1 Land Use
Land use pattern is a reflection of activities over the physical space. The knowledge of
existing land use is a basic factor in the planning process. The quality of urban life and
functional efficiency of a city is dependent on proper disposition of activities, the inter
relationships it offers between the work centers, living areas and recreational areas. The
present land uses have been studied broadly, throwing light on
the quantity of land available for urban uses and the functional relationship between the
various uses.
3.1.1 Land Use Details of Cuttack:
The city of Cuttack can be divided into four longitudinal zones:

Western Zone
Central Zone
Eastern Zone
Northern Zone
The Western Zone of the city has got a very low density and is gradually being filled up in
the past few years. The Western zone mainly consists of residential, institutional and
recreational land uses.
The Central Zone is the most densely developed portion of the city, in contradiction to the
Western Zone. It forms the congested core of the city. Thus the central zone has an admixture
of institutional, health and educational public and semi public, retail and wholesale,
warehouses, engineering workshops, industrial and transportation activities that are
incompatible land uses which result in acute congestion and deterioration of the physical
environment.
The Eastern Zone mainly comprises of the industrial estate, institutional land use like
J.K.B.K. College and C.R.R.I. and other government colonies, which exhibits a mediocre
density development. This zone also has some pockets of vacant land in a disintegrated
manner, which can be used for future expansion of different land uses.
The Northern Zone comprises mainly of the Jagatpur industrial estate having small scale and
medium scale industries. It also comprises of a few scattered settlements and agricultural
land. The Government has proposed to convert this area into industrial zone exclusively.

The existing land use shows that about 40 percent of the area is covered by residential use
and only 5 percent by transportation, which is very low compared to the norms of 12-14
percent according to UDPFI Guidelines. The city is having very narrow internal roads and
inadequate parking places. The recreational place is very less in the city, which is only 1
percent of total land use.

3.1.2 Growth pattern of the city:
The age old city of Cuttack has developed over a period of time and a number of factors are
responsible for its growth as a linear city. However, urbanization has progressed at a faster
rate recently resulting in the overspill of urban population beyond the municipal limits and
is discernible in the form of urban outgrowth in the immediate surrounding. Due to its
strategic geography, physical expansion of Cuttack towards north and south is limited. Non-

availability of government land inside the urban area also creates the problem of land
acquisition for any development works. In eastern side beyond National Highway, the urban
area has extended as far as and beyond Biribati, Sartol, Jagatpur, Nakhara and
Bidyadharpur, Central Rice Research Institute and other government colonies. The
development in these areas has several pockets of habitations with intermediate pockets of
vacant lands. Hence, continuity is not maintained and proper integration of development has
not been achieved so far. There is also scarcity of government land for commerce,
educational institutions, and other urban activities by the corporate bodies and various
departments of government.
Except for the O.M.P. Organisation, Chauliaganj Police Station, P.G. Hostel of Ravenshaw
College and a small area of Nayabazar, Cuttack city had not spread on the east of railway
line till the year 1960. After development of Paradeep Port and construction of fly-over
across railway line, urban growth in these areas expanded rapidly. In this part of the city
Mahanadi Vihar a planned CDA sector has come up in 1975-80 with 1600 plots to house a
population of around 10,000 over an area of 45 hectares on the banks of river Mahanadi.
Abhinab Bidanasi is also a planned development area by CDA to cater to a population of
about 1.5 lakhs in 12 sectors covering 20000 plots over 750 hectares. Development of this
area came up during the period 1985 to 90. This locality is at the western tip of the
Mahanadi-Kathajodi and close to the point of bifurcation of the rivers.
There is a great potential for growth towards eastern side of the city that is towards Paradeep
airport and also towards northern side, where Jagatpur area municipality is located. Limited
scope of spatial expansion is also possible towards southern side and western side of the city.
The central part of the city has already got saturated hence the future population of the city
can be distributed towards western side of the city.
The below map shows the future potentials for development of Cuttack city.

3.2 Urban Environment
3.2.1 Introduction:
The City’s environment is no different from any Indian cities with ancient origin. The same
features of over crowded localities with little room for passage for any public convenience is
abundantly encountered in most part of the city area. Until recent times Cuttack city’s faecal
disposal was by scavenging and presently in most areas the household sewage is flushed or
washed into the open road side drains which lead to the main open drains. Due to
unsystematic solid waste evacuation, most of these wastes find their way into the drains
clogging and choking vast stretches of the open drains resulting in wastewater flowing all
ways.
In earlier times there were a number of kattas and ponds, which used to retain and moderate
the storm water runoff into the drains. These ponds were progressingly encroached and
structures raised over the area causing flooding of adjoining localities even during moderate
rains. The problem gets magnified due to inadequate capacity of drains and lack of escape
vents, which need remodeling to be effective. The city has many scattered low-lying pockets
with little scope for natural drainage.
The main part of the city area exists in between two rivers, Kathajori on south and Mahanadi
on north covering an area of 33 Sq.Km having a saucer like shape. The city is prone to
natural disasters such as cyclone, heavy rainfall and floods, heat waves etc. Major earthquake
has not occurred so far.
3.2.2 Climate
The climate of the city is mostly subtropical, hot and humid with mean maximum
temperature in summer hovering around 40oC and mean winter minimum temperature going
down to around 15oC. The average rainfall is around 1557 mm. About 73% of the total
annual rainfall is received during the months of June to September due to strong activity of
South-West monsoon and about 15% of total annual rainfall is availed during the months of
October and November, most of those from cyclonic disturbances in the bay as well as the
activities of north – east winds. The climate is largely influenced by conditions at sea.
Cyclone storms are common occurrences in this region.
3.2.3 Topographical features
The general topography of the city, which is spread over an area of 192.5 sqkm is gentle and
sloping from west to east. The city is plain but with a saucer like shape. The general
ground levels inside the city are low and below high flood levels of the two rivers. Mahanadi

in the north and Kathajori in the south. The high ground elevations, which are towards the
banks of the rivers are EL 30m in the north and EL 20m in the south and to the east of city.
The central part of the city is low with an elevation close to EL 17m. The Jobra barrage
across Mahanadi is at the city’s center. Taladanda canal, off-taking from the bank of the
Mahanadi at Jobra, carries water to irrigate the doab between Mahanadi and Kathajori. This
canal passes along the central areas of city and flows towards east. There are two main storm
water drains. The first storm water drain runs from west to east and drains the area in
between Taladanda canal and Kathajori river and other city areas upstream of Jobra barrage.
This drain lets out the water into Kathajori river, both at Khananagar and Matagajpur through
controlled sluices. The second drain also runs along the west-east direction to drain out the
area between Taladanda Canal and Mahanadi river and lets out into the Mahanadi river
through Guluguli sluice. To protect the city from floods in the rivers, king Markata Keshari,
the erstwhile ruler of Orissa in 1006 AD had built a stone protective embankment along the
river Kathajori and stone revetment along the bank of Mahanadi. During the period 1983 to
88 the Mahanadi and Kathajori embankments were strengthened. Four lanes Ring Road,
which encircle the city, are aligned along these embankments.
3.2.4 Water Pollution
Status of water Tanks/ Ponds:
The ancient ponds which at one time numbered to more than 1200 in the city area, used to
hold excess storm run-off. These are now reduced to barely 10. The places where there were
ponds (earlier) have been occupied by multistoried buildings. This aggravates the process of
water logging. After physical Verification eight nos. of ponds having a recorded area of
0.035 sq.kms and well approached has been considered for development and preservation
under UIDSSMT Scheme. Though some other ponds also exist in the city, those can't be
developed due to land dispute and in accessibility.
The ponds of the Cuttack city have significant role in storm water drainage, as they trap a
substantial quantity of storm water during rainy season and reduce the load on city's drainage
network. They also contribute to the earth's water cycle as evaporators and replenish the
under ground water table. These ponds are in complete derelict condition and the rot has set
in due to contamination, accumulation of sediment and encroachments.

Figure 3-3 location of ponds selected under UIDSSMT Scheme

3.2.5 Hazardous and Bio-Medical Waste
There are 108 Health Care Units operating in Cuttack city of which one unit has more than
1000 beds. It is having full-fledged treatment and disposal facility of its own which
comprises of incinerator, microwave & shredder. Most of other units hand over their waste
to common treatment facility located outside Cuttack city.
3.2.6 Urban Greening - Urban Parks and Open spaces
The CMC is having a total of 27 parks and the area covered under plantation is 138 Hectares,
which is about 0.04 percent of the total area of the Cuttack municipal corporation. The
Cuttack municipal corporation is responsible for maintenance of public parks and
playgrounds. The center of the city lacks open places, which creates the image of a concrete
jungle.
3.2.7 Water logging and low laying areas:
The city suffers from severe flooding and water logging. It gets inundated during heavy
down pours due to inadequate drainage systems coupled with back water stage of the rivers in
high flood. There are also a number of lower pockets in the city, from where storm water
does not get evacuated through the existing drainage system. During rainy seasons, the
sewage and storm water mix together and find their way into the households creating
unhygienic situation in many such pockets/localities. During 2003 monsoon period, the
situation of Cuttack city aggravated due to continuous heavy rainfall throughout city followed
by high flood in the rivers. The storm water drain could not discharge to rivers for more than
29 days in the month of August, September and October due to flood lockage. Over 80
percent of the city has been waterlogged due to incessant rains and inefficient drainage
system. Ward number 2 has highest number of waterlogging areas which is located extreme
western part of the city.
3.2.8 Key Issues and Concerns
1. The city suffers severely from flooding and

water logging mainly due to high water levels of
the rivers and inadequate drainage systems.
2. The future growth of the city is restricted due to
presence of river as a natural boundary.
3. Most of the slum dwellers residing along the
river use riverbed for sanitation purpose, which
is polluting and contaminating the river water.

4. There is no proper solid waste management system, 90 percent of waste generated

from different sectors is disposing on riverbed.
5. No systematic drainage system is existing in many parts of the city, yet the city has
been growing at rapid pace. The vacant areas and low lands have progressively got
filled-up with building constructions.
6. The city-drains usually get blocked due to indiscriminate dumping of solid waste in
the drains as there is no proper solid waste management system.

CHAPTER 4 –Disaster Management
4.1 Introduction:
There has been an increase in the incidence of natural disasters worldwide with increasing
loss of life and damage to property. The risk of disasters can also be expected to rise in the
future, particularly for developing countries populations. There are two reasons for this trend:
• An increase in extreme natural events, primarily due to climatic change

• Increased vulnerability of populations to these natural events
Natural disasters are closely bound up with the development status of a region: They disrupt
or impair development and, at the same time, a low level of development increases the
chances of them occurring. Supported in part by bilateral and multilateral donors, many
countries are stepping up their efforts to prevent disaster. The idea is that effective
precautions will avert future disasters or at least mitigate them. This in turn will help stabilize
development in partner countries. Containing the hazards and reducing vulnerability can
lower disaster risk.
Significance of this chapter is to elevate the importance of disaster mitigation plan at city
level and its function in city development plan.
4.2 Disaster in Orissa:
Orissa is vulnerable to multiple disasters. Due to its sub-tropical littoral location, the state is
prone to tropical cyclones, storm surges and tsunamis. Its densely populated coastal plains are
the alluvial deposits of its river systems. The rivers in these areas with heavy load of silt have
very little carrying capacity, resulting in frequent floods, only to be compounded by breached
embankments. Though a large part of the state comes under Earthquake Risk Zone-II (Low
Damage Risk Zone), the Brahmani Mahanadi graben and their deltaic areas come under
Earthquake Risk Zone-III (Moderate Damage Risk Zone) covering 43 out of the 103 urban
local bodies of the state.

4.3 Patterns of Disasters:
4.3.1 Floods:
The 482 km long of coastline of Orissa exposes the State to flood, cyclones and storm surges.
Heavy rainfall during monsoon causes floods in the rivers. Flow of water from neighbouring
States of Jharkhand and Chattisgarh also contributes to flooding. The flat coastal belts with
poor drainage, high degree of siltation of the rivers, soil erosion, breaching of the
embankments and spilling of floodwaters over them, cause severe floods in the river basin
and delta areas. In Orissa, rivers such as the mahanadi, Subarnarekha, Brahmani, Baitarani,
Rushikulya, Vansadhara and their many tributaries and branches flowing through the State
expose vast areas to floods.
In Orissa, damages are caused due to floods mainly in the Mahanadi, the Brahmani, and the
Baitarani. These rivers have a common delta where flood waters intermingle, and when in
spate simultaneously, wreak considerable havoc. This problem becomes even more acute
when floods coincide with high tide. The water level rises due to deposits of silt on the river-
bed. Rivers often overflow their banks or water rushes through new channels causing heavy
damages. Floods and drainage congestion also affect the lower reaches along the
Subarnarekha. The rivers Rusikulya, Vansadhara and Budhabalanga
also cause occasional floods.
The entire coastal belt is prone to storm surges. The storms that produce tidal surges are
usually accompanied by heavy rain fall making the coastal belt vulnerable to both floods and
storm surges. People die; livestock perish; houses are washed away; paddy and other crops
are lost and roads and bridges are damaged. The floods of 1980, 1982, 2001 and 2003 in the
State were particularly severe; property worth crores of rupees was destroyed in the floods.
4.3.2 Cyclone:
Cuttack district is in a very high damage risk zone, Berhampur and Sambalpur districts are in
moderate damage risk zones from wind and cyclones. But the cyclone of 1999 affected
Berhampur the most out of the three.

Figure 4-1 Wind and Cyclone Zones in Orissa
Figure 4-2 Map showing the disaster affected areas in Orissa

The super cyclonic storm has weakened into a well marked low pressure over south-coastal
Orissa, north-coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining sea areas of west-central and north-west
Bay. Many of the areas in the affected districts are still under water. The inability to bury the
dead bodies (human and cattle) is causing a serious threat to health. The two cyclones that hit
India’s state of Orissa in October killed well over 10,000 people and made 8 million
homeless. The second cyclone devastated the state’s administrative capital, Bhubaneswar, the
commercial capital, Cuttack, and the port town of Paradip before moving on to smaller towns
and villages.
In response to a super cyclone that struck Orissa in1999, UNDP and other UN organisations
provided a coordinated support mechanism during the crisis and facilitated interventions in
the following sectors: shelter, agriculture, health, education, women and children, and water
and sanitation. In the rehabilitation phase, UNDP supported the state government in specific
rehabilitation efforts promoting community participation in shelter and livelihood sectors
with the objective of reducing vulnerability. Subsequently, community preparedness plans
were formulated. These plans were used by the communities and the government to take
precautionary action during the cyclone threat of 2000. The generation of awareness in the
state also helped the communities to be better prepared during the 2001 floods.
4.4 City’s Experience:
4.4.1 Recent floods in the city:
Cuttack city comes under earthquake prone Zone III and cyclone prone Zone. Floods are
regular phenomenon occurring every year, which submerge about 80 percent of the city. The
city dwellers suffered a lot due to heavy rainfall in recent years. This situation aggravates
when there is simultaneously heavy rain as well as high floods in rivers Kathajori &
Mahanadi when storm water is restricted from flow into the rivers. Such an unprecedented
situation has occurred recently due to heavy rainfall of a magnitude of 437 mm in two
consecutive days during a very short duration. There was precipitation of 330 mm on
04.08.2007 and 107 mm on 05.08.2007. Most of the areas including low-lying area remained
inundated for about 3 days due to inadequate discharge capacity of existing drainage system.
Analysis of 30 years information reveals that largest number of cyclonic disturbances, which
affected the city, had occurred in the months of October (6 times) followed by September (5
times). Moderate to high floods have occurred in rivers Mahanadi and Kathajori almost
every year during the months of August to October and occasionally very high floods in the
months of August and September. The mean weekly wind velocity had shown a variation
from 2.5 kmph to 9.6 kmph, high (8-10) kmph during pre monsoon season reducing (3-6

kmph) during monsoon and reaching a minimum (2-3 kmph) during winter. The mean,
sunshine hours during various seasons varied from 3.1 hours to 10.2 hours. The rate of
evaporation varied from 2.7 mm to 7.5 mm per day. The relative humidity RH I is more or
less stable all through the years (81-92%) but RH II is seen highly fluctuating (41 to 78%).

4.4.2 Vulnerability of the city
The city of Cuttack is vulnerable to a few disasters due to its location, linkages, geo-
hydrological features and regional setting. The possible areas of disaster to which the city is
prone to are given below:
Possible natural disasters:

1. Cyclones: the super cyclone of 1999
2. Heavy incessant rain causing water logging and flood – occuring every year.
Possible man made disasters:
1. Discharge of untreated/partially treated hazardous solid and liquid wastes over soil
and water as well as formation of genetically complex organisms in the atmosphere-
no such organised research and monitoring is presently being done. But considering
the overall scenario and sanitation systems with poor waste management practices
available in the city the possibilities of disaster cannot be ruled out.
2. Due to the existence of old and kuccha buildings as well as household industries
adjacent to the residential buildings the city is susceptible to fire hazards.
3. Adequate space in the high density areas is not available for storage of water for
firefighting purpose and also for proper movement of firefighting vehicles.
4. Open drains and slums pose a serious threat to public life. Open dumping sites within
the city pollute the environment in the city.
5. Stray animals and slow moving traffic obstruct the vehicular flow.
6. Besides the narrow roads and heavy traffic flow, encroachments at traffic junctions
and along the roadside make the city vulnerable to traffic hazards
7. Spreading of human carrier disease epidemics – possibilities are very high due to high
population density, low per capita income, unemployment problem, poor sanitation
and waste management system in the city.
Possible disasters which can be both natural and manmade:
1. City is located between two rivers, which are very likely to have floods in the rainy
season due to over flow of river water
2. Flood due to blockage of water courses, encroachments in the city.
4.5 Policies:
In the context of proclamation of International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction

(IDNDR), National initiatives and State’s own experience, the State Govt. felt it necessary to

have a specific policy for disaster management and to provide necessary guidelines on all
aspects of emergency management and accordingly formuated the disaster management
policy. The key features of policy are presented below.
Table 4-2 Features of The Disaster Management Policy

1. Take a proactive approach to disaster management and promote a culture of
prevention and preparedness among individuals and institutions.
2. Follow a multi-level approach to disaster management
3. Shift from a relief and welfare approach to a rights and entitlement-based
approach to humanitarian assistance.
4. Since sustainable development will not be possible without the active
involvement of the communities, make the vulnerability reduction programmes
community driven.
5. Integrate Disaster Management into Development Policy and Planning.
6. Institutionalise efficient, well-coordinated and participatory disaster management
initiatives as one of the basic ingredients of good governance.
7. Ensure quality at all stages of emergency management including prevention,
mitigation, relief and reconstruction and make their adoption mandatory. For
doing so, universally accepted minimum standards should be adopted.If
necessary, the standards should be modified taking into account local conditions
and customs.
8. ttempt harmonious blending of all disaster management interventions with local
cultural ethos.
9. Focus on protection of the environment.
10. Promote inter-agency coordination and cooperation for disaster management.
11. Involve all stakeholders in disaster management and define their roles in different
stages of disasters.
12. Create an enabling environment for ensuring higher participation of all
stakeholders
13. Work on legislation(s) to provide statutory backing to essential disaster
management functions and agencies.
14. Establish a trigger mechanism for emergency operations.
15. View people as valuable partners and strengthen community-based coping
mechanisms for dealing with disasters.
16. Promote a spirit of volunteerism, develop a cadre of well-trained volunteers
whose services will be utilised during emergencies.
17. Document and use people’s indigenous knowledge, whenever possible.

18. Share information and knowledge about disasters and their management with all
stakeholders.
19. Develop a network amongst various disaster management entities using OSDMA
as the main hub.
20. Establish an Institute dedicated to conducting research, development and training
on disaster management related activities.
21. Make Disaster Management a part of the educational system and curricula.
22. Decentralise management of disasters to the Block, Gram Panchayat /
Municipality levels and strengthen their institutional and functional capacities to
be effective as the first responders to disaster events.
23. Ensure that humanitarian assistance is provided in an equitable, consistent and
predictable manner.
24. Emphasize participation of women in all stages of Disaster Management and
recognise their special problems in disaster situation.
25. Recognise the higher vulnerability of children, elders, physically and mentally
challenged, during and after emergencies and design interventions accordingly.
4.6Strategies:
Disaster Management will have an integrated approach covering the 3 phases of disaster:
• Pre-disaster phase
• Response phase and
• Recovery and Rehabilitation phase
Disaster Management can be made in effective any city/town in phases, in short interim
periods or even on regular basis, through the following measures.
• It has been ensured to keep the disaster management plans undated and
upgraded, especially the research and communication information should be
kept updated.
• Mock drill should be arranged twice a year.
• Refresher training should be imparted to the key stakeholders associated with

the Disaster Management.
• An atmosphere should be created where in all the officers/employees of

departments/officers connected with disaster management including Liaison

Officers of the city/town may take initiative to render their services

spontaneously during calamities.
• Task forces should be trained for the tasks to be undertaken during calamities.
• Arrangement should be made to enhance the infrastructure researches by

picking the tasks required to accomplish the disaster management from
amongst the works to be undertaken for development schemes implemented
from the funds of various state schemes.
• The control-room of the city/town may be invariably kept functioning for 24

hours.
• Missing facilities – amenities may be set up for disaster management by
upgrading the city/town control room and updated information may be
maintained.
• Systematic planning should be made by the department to pay serious

attention to the warning given in advance by the district control room as well
as through irrigation department. Care should be taken to provide such
information/warning to every common people even in the remote areas.
• Steps should be taken by citizens to make available the search & rescue
equipments by keeping a live communication with district network. with
regard to activities such as evacuation/shifting etc; co-ordination may be made
with the govt. network, fire-brigade industrial houses, voluntary organization
etc. to reduce the damage/loss.
• Result-oriented actions may be taken for timely distribution of relief-materials

to the affected people after making co-ordination with the local bodies,
donors, industrials houses, NGOs and district level network as well.
• A systematic work should be undertaken to restore the normalcy in day to day

life and for timely repairing of damaged roads, bridges etc.
4.6.1 List of Stakeholders:
Coordinated efforts of some or all the following stakeholders would be required for effective
disaster management:
• The community affected/ vulnerable to disasters

• Volunteer based organisations such as NSS, NCC, Indian Red Cross, Civil
Defence, Scouts and Guides, Nehru Yuva Kendra, etc.
• Civil Society Organizations including Community-based Organizations
• Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies
• Police, Home Guards, paramilitary forces
• District Administration
• Orissa Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF)
• Special Relief Organisation
• Orissa State Disaster Mitigation Authority (OSDMA)
• State Govt. Departments
• Govt. of India organisations, agencies in the State
• Public Sector Organisations
• Private Sector Organisations
• United Nations Agencies
• Bilateral and multi-lateral agencies
4.6.2 Institutional Framework:
Revenue Department of the State is the administrative department for disaster management
under the general guidance and supervision of the Government. Electorate is designate to
play the role of coordinating agency in the pre-disaster and post-disaster phases, while
Special Relief Organisation is expected to take a lead role during the response phase.
OSDMA will assist the Special Relief Organization during the response phase and also point
out to SRC and the Collectors gaps in relief administration if any. The other stakeholders will
play their assigned roles during any or all the three phases. The State Government could also
designate specific departments to be the nodal departments in respect of specific disasters
(e.g., if there is an outbreak of an epidemic, the Health Department would be the nodal
department.) The District Collector would-be the nodal agency (officer) for prevention,
response and recovery in the event of all types of disasters in the district.
4.6.3 Vulnerable Factors of damage and the risks
The extent of impact of disasters is not uniform on all socio-economic groups. It is mostly the
poor and disadvantaged who do not have any coping mechanisms who are the worst hit. Even
among the poor households with assets and savings are likely to be less vulnerable than those
who do not have the same. The community networks and support systems also play a crucial
role. Poor communities with better community bonding and support system are likely to be
less vulnerable. Hence there is a need to identify vulnerable groups through systematic survey
and mapping and develop appropriate response strategies.

4.6.4 Scheme for Response –
Acquiring information about materials and resources, their classification and analysis during
the disaster and before the disaster helps in facing such severe calamities.
Need for various resources are felt immediately after the disaster.
Ample care should be taken about pre-cautionary measures and safety against the earthquake.
Other rules of safety against the disaster pertaining to retrofitting of houses should also be
followed.
Safe places where immediate shelter may be taken during flood, earthquake or cyclone
should necessity be protected against such calamities. As per the details of the City Disaster
Management Plan, Community hall, Primary school or temple and other public buildings etc;
should be used as safe shelter places during such calamities. Therefore, it is essential that
every city/town should have retrofitting of such safe places and care is taken ensure that such
places are protected from various disasters and are as per construction regulations.
• Rescue Equipments
• Search and Rescue Teams
• Health facilities (Physical distribution of P.H.Centers or Community Treatment

Contest.
• Manpower related with Health-facilities (total No. Of doctors, A.N.M. etc)
4.6.5 Evacuation and Temporary Shelter
The safe places available at every ward may be used for evacuation and temporary shelters
during the calamities are given in the annexure appended herewith. Warning for each ward
and warning communication for city/town level will help in shifting the affected people to
such safe places during the calamities with the help of workforce (task-force)
The city/town task force can play an important role in shifting the people during calamities,
in taking immediate actions, in spreading true in formation and in preventing the grapevines
and rumors during such disasters.
The action required to be taken in case of the safe accommodation is equally important. An
open ground is the ideal safe place during earthquake. While in flood, shifting towards
elevated area will be a safe.
Warning and communication system available in city/town for warning of communication are
shown at the annexure.

4.6.6 Search & Rescue
The immediate task after a disaster is to search and rescue the victims. Various tools &
equipments are required for this work. These materials might not be available at one place;
but having information about their location is very essential. If such information is available,
this material can be shifted immediately to the required place and causalities can be reduced.
4.6.7 First Aid
The most important issue after warning and communication and search & rescue during any
calamity is to provide first aid to the victims. The demand of first aid and health facilities can
be more than their availability. Especially facilities such as P.H.centers/C.T.Centres and
shortage of medical staff such as doctors/nurses. Therefore, it is important to learn about the
ratio between requirement and availability. Moreover, the police department Could play an
important role in spreading right information, in issuing warnings and shifting the people
immediately.
4.7 Ongoing Disaster Management Program:
Urban Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction Program UEVRP:
This program was introduced in 2006 by Orissa State Mitigation Development Authority in
collaboration with UNDP in three cities of Orissa i.e. Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Sambalpur.
It consists five components in training program, i.e. awareness program, preparedness,

capacity building, reforms in building byelaws and regulations and networking.
• Awareness Program: Displaying Hoardings, distribution of booklets, pamphlets to

general public.
• Preparedness: Giving training programs to local community.
• Capacity Building: giving training programs to prepare Disaster Mitigation Plan for
local community.
• Reforms in Building Bye Laws and regulations: In Building bye laws, earthquake
resilient features have to be incorporated.
• Networking: taking examples of best practices in other states for disaster mitigation
plan and programs.
In Cuttack city already ward wise disaster preparedness committee’s with ward councilors as
a Chairman are formed. This committee consists of 20-25 members of local community
leaders, NGO’S, Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, senior citizen, school teacher etc. These
committee members will have regular meetings about disaster mitigation program. Training
program consists of four components i.e. first aid, rescue, planning and coordination and

information. The committee members are trained to prepare a ward level disaster mitigation
plan them through participatory planning approach and this plan is submitted to CMC for
approval.

CHAPTER 5 - Urban Management and Governance
5.1Urban Local Bodies- new context of local government:
Governance in the context of rapidly growing cities is gaining unprecedented significance.

The concept of good governance with its principles of inclusiveness, transparency,
accountability, responsiveness, equity and efficiency is increasingly being considered
worldwide as the key to transform the city. Cities are dotted with the presence of multiple
institutions providing various services to the citizens and the effectiveness of these
institutions is critical to economic growth, poverty reduction and overall quality of life in the
city. Good urban governance adopts a comprehensive and holistic view of all the institutional
roles and addresses their intrinsic complexities. The institutions governing a city broadly
include government departments, urban local bodies and parastatal agencies. The urban local
bodies and parastatal agencies are created through Acts of legislature.
The 74th CAA, 1992, of the GOI has imparted constitutional status on the ULBs and has
assigned appropriate functions to them. A constitutional basis is given to the relationship of
the ULBs with the state Government with respect to their functions and powers, ensuring
timely and regular elections, arrangements for revenue sharing etc. ULBs are given additional
powers including preparation of local development plans, programmes for ensuring social
justice, and environmental management there by making them more responsive to the local
needs. Section 243 (W) of the 74th CAA, 1992, facilitates this.
In conformity with the 74th CAA, various state governments have taken initiative to amend
their respective municipal corporation/ municipalities’ act and the ULBs have been entrusted
with the functions listed in the twelfth schedule of the constitution or section 243 (W) of the
74th CAA, 1992. Similarly, the GoO has also taken this initiative and has recently enacted
the Orissa Municipal Corporation Act, 2003, in conformity with the 74th CAA.
5.2 Legal Framework of Institutions

The city administration is vested with the Cuttack municipal corporation. Cuttack
Development Authority is established based on the Orissa Development Authorities Act
1982. CDA undertakes the preperation of development plans, zonal plans and regulates
development in its area including matter related to building plans.

5.2.1 Municipal Corporation Act 2003:

The provisions of the Orissa Municipal Corporation Act 2003 define the functions of CMC
from 2003 till then Orissa municipal act 1951 is the base for CMC. The Act came into force
with effect from February 11, 2003. The Act provides for the State Election Commission to
conduct and monitor election to the corporations in the state. The Act also empowers elected
persons by assigning them with various functions of the corporation. The Act provides for
four authorities in a corporation as indicated below.
1. The Corporation
2. Mayor
3. Standing Committee
4. The Commissioner
Salient features of Orissa Municipal Corporation Act 2003:

The Act empowers the state to nominate five persons from amongst the residents
of the city having special knowledge or experience in municipal administration
and every member of house of people and state legislative assembly representing
the constituencies, which comprise wholly or partly the area of the city. This
ensures adequate representation of people.
In order to bring in transparency and accountability, the Act has envisaged
democratic decentralisation by devolving powers and functions to the corporation
on the one hand and introducing decentralized planning on the other. Extensive
participation from people’s representativeS in every phase of the process is the
hallmark of the new Act. However, there is a strong need to empower the ward
committee to provide for planning from below and a good and viable public
accountability system.
There is a provision for appointment of Corporation Ombudsman by the
Government who shall receive complaints from any person relating to the
provision of the various services of the Corporation and to consider the same or

arrive at a settlement by agreement through negotiation by passing award in

accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Land Conciliation Act, 1996.
Corporation Valuation Committee and Corporation Assessment Tribunal can be
constituted under the provisions of the new act to take up valuation and
assessment work of property tax and to hear appeals thereof, similarly, the Act
provides for the appointment of a judicial first class magistrate to conduct trials of
offences under the Act.
The new constitutional status of municipal corporations through this Act would
provide an institutional framework for participatory democracy.
5.2.2 Orissa Development Authorities Act, 1982

Cuttack Development Authority CDA was constituted under Orissa Development Authorities
Act, 1982.
The Salient features of the Act are: -

Extension of the provisions of the Act over the identified area and declaring such
area as a development area.
Constitution of Development Authority.
Preparation of interim, comprehensive and zonal development plans.
Publication of development plans for inviting objections and suggestions.
Finalizing the development plan in the light of objections and suggestions.
Approval of the development plan by the State Government.
Enforcement of the provisions of the development plan, zoning regulations and
planning and building standards by the Development Authorities by way of
issuing permissions for construction of buildings.
Preparation of development schemes and their implementation.
5.2.3 Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999
The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999 has been adopted in
the State.
The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 of Government of India came
into force in the state of Orissa w.e.f 17.02.1976 and was applicable to only
Cuttack Urban Agglomeration as the population of the said agglomeration was
more than one lakh at that time.
5.3 Institutional Framework

The Orissa Municipal Corporations Act, 2003, came into effect from 18-04-2003. The State
Government has not passed any specific law in pursuance of the 74th Amendment to the

Constitution. There are 103 urban local bodies (ULBs) in Orissa, which are categorized as
Municipal corporations (2), Municipalities (34) and Notified Area Councils (67) based on the
size of the population.
The elected body consists of the public representatives (called councilors) who
hold office for a period of five years. Members of the State Legislative Assembly
for their respective constituencies are also members of the council. Additionally
GoO nominates a few member to the council. The Council is the policy making
body. Various standing committees are formed for rendering specialized
functions. There are standing committees on finance, public health, hospitals and
dispensaries, public works, etc.
The ULBs functions under the overall administrative control of the State Housing
and Urban Development Department. The Director of Municipal Administration is
the head of the Department. Each ULB is headed by an executive officer who is
ordinarily an officer of the Orissa Administrative Service.
The State Government has the powers to call for information, conduct inspections,
give directions, and dissolve a ULB, cancel orders and even rescind resolutions of
the Council under specified circumstances.
The functions of the ULBs fall under two categories, namely, obligatory functions
such as maintenance of roads, street lights, sanitation, water supply, registration of
births and deaths, public immunization and regulation of buildings; and
discretionary functions such as formation and maintenance of layouts, parks,
schools, hospitals, libraries etc., There are different departments for the
performance of these functions besides an administrative and a finance and
accounts department.
The own resources of the ULBs are very limited. These comprise rates and taxes,
including property tax, license and other fees, income from property, receipts
under special laws like fees, ferry rent, etc. The major source of income of the
ULBs is the grant received from GoO in lieu of Octroi receipts. Additionally,
ULBs receive specific purpose grants from GoO like road maintenance grant, for
payment of salaries for teaching and non-teaching staff. The ULBs also receive
central funds as mandated by the Finance Commission, besides funds for the
execution of centrally sponsored schemes.

It can be seen from the above table that most of 74th CAA functions are not yet transferred to
the Cuttack municipal corporation. CMC at present responsible only for solid waste
management, streetlights, minor storm water drains and municipal roads. Other functions like
water supply, sewerage, and major roads and storm water drains are performed by different
departments. However multiple agencies are responsible for delivering various facilities
leading to lack of coordination accountability and transparency.

5.4 Municipal Corporation
Development of the municipal institution of Cuttack has passed a long way; it started in 1876
when Cuttack was a capital city of the state. However, the status of Cuttack Municipal
Corporation CMC came into being with effect from 05.08.1994 in pursuance to notification
No. 24145/ HUD dt. 28.07.1994. The full-fledged Cuttack Municipal Corporation came into
force on 1st October 2003 with an elected Mayor, Deputy Mayor and 48 Corporators
following enactment of Orissa Municipal Act, 2003. The Orissa Municipal Act, 1951, which
has been amended from time to time, forms the legal basis of municipal governance. There
are nine Standing Committees to advice the Mayor on various fronts.
Representatives of all 48 wards of the city are elected to the general body, which is the apex
body of CMC. The general body elects the Mayor and his Deputy. In order to act upon the
decisions of the general body, various administrative wings function under a Municipal
Commissioner. The total number of employees of corporation at present is approximately
2,700.
The administration is carried out by a team of officers appointed by the State Government.
The Chief Executive Officer of the corporation is assisted by three additional executive
Officers, one health Officer, one project officer and one municipal engineer, each of them
having a chain of support staff as per requirements. Day to day municipal governance is
being carried out in close co-operation and consultation with the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and
ward councilors of the elected council.

5.4.1 Activities of the Corporation:
The main objective of the Cuttack Municipal Corporation is to achieve organic and
sustainable development through improved governance, adequate service provisions through
quality delivery mechanisms and efficient urban management.
The following are the routine functions of the Corporation.
Conservancy Services and Solid Waste Management

Slaughter Houses
Birth & Death Registration
Prevention of Food Adulteration
Preventive Health Care
Construction and Maintenance of Roads & Drains
Storm & Waste Water Drainage
Parks
Plantations
Slum Improvement & Community Management
Street Lighting & Removal of Encroachments
Development & Maintenance of Burial Grounds and Crematoriums
The Engineering, Health and Slum Development Wings of the Corporation discharge the
above functions. The geographical location, topography and inorganic spatial growth accreted
over the years have left the city with poorly inefficient drainage system. As a result, the city
is always vulnerable to risk of health hazards arising from unsanitary conditions and
mosquito menace in a continuous basis.

Employee Strength of CMC
Currently the total number of CMC staff is approximately 2,700 of them there are 858
municipal sweepers, 879 unskilled conservancy workers, 86 peons 86 drain gang workers etc.
5.5 Other Institutions:
Water Supply and Sanitation Sectoral Institution:
Urban Water Supply and Sewerage services in the state are looked after by:
* State Public Health Engineering Organization (P.H.E.O.)
* Orissa Water Supply & Sewerage Board (O.W.S. & S.B.)
The P.H.E.O. and O.W.S. & S. B are under the administrative control of Housing and
Urban Development (H & UD) Department of the Govt. of Orissa.
Presently the Public Health Engineering Organisation is the service provider and plans,
executes, operates and maintains the Urban Water Supply and Sewerage System of the
State. The Orissa Water Supply and Sewerage Board execute major / mega water supply
and sewerage projects and after completion, hands over the projects to Public Health
Engineering Organisation for operation and maintenance.
The Public Health Engineering Organization has a committed work force of 7742
persons consisting of 323 Engineering Personnel, 807 Ministerial Staffs assisting day to
day office administration, 3304 wages staff and 3308 Temporary Field Staff.
5.6 Key Issues:

There is a need to decentralize the local administration as per 74th CAA for the
effective functioning of CMC.
Lack of trained manpower in the corporation.
Lack of inter and intra departmental coordination.
Lack of accountability
Lack of resource management
Lack of transparency
There is no Management Information System (MIS) in the ULB though different
departments prepare different reports as and when required.

5.7 Ongoing Reforms
Cuttack Municipal Corporation has taken up a series of reforms encompassing property tax,
e-governance, user charges, hoarding & license regulation and citizen interface.
E governance:Corporation has initiated e governance in recent times. The CMC web site is
developed and the double entry accounting system is in the process of implementation. The
tender notice are paced on the corporation website and can be. Information technology is
been used by health office for issuing births and death registration only.
Rainwater Harvesting:
Rainwater Harvesting was adopted as a mandatory by CMC in the year 2001. The reform is
applicable for high-rise building, apartments and all institutional buildings.

CHAPTER 6 - Municipal Infrastructure
This chapter covers existing situation analysis of infrastructure facilities development of

performance indicators and identification of key issues for physical infrastructure facilities
like water supply, sewerage, drainage, sanitation, solid waste management, roads and street
lights.
6.1 Existing Water Supply system:
Cuttack municipal area has been divided into four water supply districts: (i) Ranihat
(ii) Kila Area near Stadium (iii) Annpurana Theater in Trankonia Baghicha and (iv) Town
Hall.The other areas and institutions like Police Colony, Mahanadi Vihar, Ravenshaw
College, Cuttack Medical College, Engineering School and Kanika Kothi Area (Bijupatnaik
Chowk, near OWSSB office) are provided with water supply through their own independent
systems. At present out of 48 wards of Cuttack Municipal Corporation only 41 Wards are
fully covered with piped water supply 5 Wards are partially covered and remaining 2 wards
are not at all covered with water supply.
6.1.1 Source – Availability and Adequacy:
The source of water supply is under ground source by large dia tube wells. Cuttack Municipal
Corporation has already sunk 1,954 deep tube well to meet the drinking water requirement in
low-pressure areas / non-supply hours / and areas not covered with pipelines and in identified
and unidentified slums. Average depth of the tube wells is about 100ms below ground level.
Water Supply to Cuttack City and adjoining areas are provided through 116 nos. of large dia
bore wells and around 100 MLD water is being extracted for drinking water purpose. These
are fitted with power pumps. Quantity of treated water supplied per day is 90.13 MLD. Over
the few past years many of the production wells are becoming defunct and need replacement
from time to time.
Below map shows the covered, uncovered and partially covered wards of Municipal
Corporation.

Figure 6-1Ward wise water supply coverage

Existing distribution network of the city City development plan for Cuttack city
Figure 6-2Existing Distribution Network

6.1.2 Distribution system:
The present distribution system comprises of 3 Km pipeline and has 4.78 MLD storage
capacity. Piped water supply is catered through 21979 house connections and 2028 nos.
stand posts and 113 hand pumps. In addition to tube wells rivers Mahanadi and Kathajodi
(Subsidiary source) are also providing drinking water to the residents. About 20,000
households are covered with public taps and another 20,000 with hand pumps. The existing
system will be just sufficient to cater to the drinking water requirements of present
population.
6.1.3 Quality of Water:
The entire distribution mains contain iron particles in the water and the pipeline choke due to
heavy encrustation. The consumers of the Cuttack city are expressing their disadvantage by
taking ground water directly through pumping from the production wells and even those
contains appreciable quantity of total iron maximum Upto 15.8 mg/l. The supply of water is
intermittent and is of eight to ten hours. Due to inadequate distribution system, equitable
distribution is not possible. Beside, consumers tend to store water to meet their demand
during non-supply hours and throw away when the supply releases. This leads to wastage of
water. Absence of water treatment plant in the city.
6.1.4 Non-Revenue Water:
The non-revenue water accounts for more than 40% of the total production. This is due to the
fact that most of the collections are un-metered and there are leakages in the system
especially at the house connection levels and there are no bulk flow meters to keep track of
the system losses. Losses are also due to misuse of public stand posts.
6.1.5 Water supply –Performance Indicators:

The network coverage in the city is over 53% and access to piped supply is only 38%.
Duration of the supply is10 hours daily with a per capita supply of 160 lpcd.

6.1.6 Institutional and Financial Aspects:
Institutional Aspects:
The public health and engineering organization (PHEO) is responsible for construction and
maintenance of city water supply. In addition PHEO is also responsible for planning,
designing, construction, operation and maintenance of the water supply system and
management of wastewater schemes including their transportation and distribution.
Since PHEO is a state level organization the office of the chief engineer (PH- Urban)
coordinates all activities of this department. Superintending Engineers and other technical
and administrative staff assist the Chief Engineer. For ease of administration the
administration in the state is divided into four circles, viz. Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Sambalpur

and Berhampur. These PH circles are headed by superintending engineers (SE), who report to
the chief engineer. In addition, two superintending engineers, who are individually
responsible for projects and management and design, assist the chief engineer. The
superintending engineers are assisted by Executive Engineers and other technical and
administrative staff. Cuttack division further divided into three divisions, viz Division I,
Division II and Division III. Each division is headed by an executive engineer, who reports to
the SE.
Design and project management for provision of water supply system components is jointly
undertaken by the PHEO and the OWSSB of the GoO. However, responsibility of the
OWSSB is limited to design and construction of water supply and sanitary sewerage
schemes on behalf of PHEO and local bodies at their cost and on payment of centage
charges. There is a good coordination between OWSSB and PHEO as there is a clear
delineation of functional responsibilities.
The present water supply system of Cuttack City is being managed by P.H. Division - I under
the C.E. PH (Urban) Orissa.
Financial aspects:
Financial Status of Public Health and Engineering Organisation PHEO:
33 % of O & M cost is recovered from water supply and sewerage charge. Outstanding
charges (arrears) are equivalent to 16 months of monthly sales (billed amount), and
collected amount is less than 50 % of billed amount during the last 3 years.The weighted
average monthly household charge for water supply and sewerage in Cuttack accounts for
only 0.6% and 1.4 % of the household income respectively, which is substantially lower
than people’s affordability.
There are Twenty four thousand consumers who enjoy drinking water supply provided by
Public Health and Engineering Organization. The water tariff for industrial, institutional
and commercial user has been revised during 2005 to close the gap between expenditure
on O&M and revenue receipt. The revision of water tariff for domestic consumers is under
active consideration of Government. The revenue receipts from water & sewerage charges
and the annual O&M cost in last five years are presented blow.

6.1.7 Key Issues:

Many of the pipelines laid in phases are more than 50 years old and are of
inadequate size requiring replacement.
Most of the pipelines are in higher depth due to raising of the roads time to time.
In addition to this, most of the pipelines are filled in with incrustation due to
excessive iron contains which leads to substantial reduction in flow of water.
Equitable distribution is not possible due to inadequately designed distribution
system with required storage reservoir.
Most of the areas are uncovered under pipeline network.
Accounts for more than 40% used and requires immediate attention and calls for
measure such as installation of meters, changing of old pipelines, district metering
etc.

Consumer Services: Consumer service with regards to allocation of new

connection, consumer complaint registration and redressal system, water tax
collection systems are not adequate.
Water quality testing, monitoring and surveillance system : At present there is no
integrated system for water quality testing, surveillance and monitoring system
with required infrastructure (Software and hardware support). With growing
demand to ensure consistent water quality, providing an integrated system is very
much essential.
Technology up gradation & Operational Maneuverability: The existing system do
not have component of automation and therefore operational flexibility and
maneuverability is limited.
The City is growing at a faster rate. The Cuttack Municipal Corporation
jurisdiction has been extended by inclusion of few more adjacent villages like
Sartol, Tinigharia, Nuapada, Mattagajpur and Poparada, Bidyadharpur, Nuabazar,
Mahanadi Vihar, Gopalpur, Balikuda, Pratap Nagari, Telengapentha, Nakhara,
Nimpur and Jagatpur etc. These areas are deprived of any water supply systems,
and there is a need to save the water.
The water demand in the year 2031 is estimated to 186 MLD taking into
account the projected population of 12.4 lakhs with current supply being 115
MLD, the water deficit in 2031 works out to 71 MLD. This calls for source
augmentation to meet the deficit.
6.2 Sewerage System:
A part of the city Professor Para, Saga Diasahi, Ranihat and Mehtab Road area have been
covered by sewerage system for 40,000 people. The existing sewerage scheme is more than
20 years old and the same is functioning now the total sewage generation is 92.13 MLD (80
percent of water supply). Only 8 percent of city’s population has access to sewerage system.
There is no systematic sewerage system or treatment plant in the city; the discharge of
domestic waste through storm water drains goes to river. As a result, the quality of water in
Mahanadi and Kathajori rivers shows deterioration. The discharge of sewerage into storm
water drainageis laso causes ground water pollution.
The existing sewerage system has 4 pumping stations at professor Pada (ward no. 20,21,23),
Chatra Bazar ( ward nos 15, 19 and 20), Raja Baghicha ( ward no. 15,19 and 20) and CDA
Bindasi.the combined sewage goes to drain no.1 and then STP of Matgajpur by gravity. Two
sewerage treatment plants are in operation one at Bindasi.The STP at Bindasi is of 4.5 MLD
capacity operating on “extended aeration”. It contains inlet chambers, screens and grit

chambers. The aeration unit consists of 4 aerators. In Matgajpur STP of 33 MLD capacity is
recently constructed and recently commissioned. The effluent after treatment is discharged
into river Kathajori. It is reported that the Orissa Water Supply and Sewerage Board have
prepared a comprehensive sewerage scheme for Cuttack city
Keys Issues:
• Low network coverage.

• There is no proper treatment facility.
• Less number of pumping stations
6.3 Sanitation:
6.3.1 Access to Sanitation Facilities
Population covered by septic tanks is 4 lakhs and constitutes 71 percent of total population
according 1999 NIUA report. There are 11 public toilets maintained by CMC and 38-
community toilets managed by Sulabha International.

Source: JnNURM Check list, CMC
6.3.2 Key Issues:
1. The city is not fully covered with

sanitation facilities.
2. Lack of sewerage system.
3. The existing community toilets are not
adequate to meet the requirements of slum
population.
4. High dependency on septic tanks.
5. Connected toilets to storm water drains.
6. Poor maintenance of community toilets
7. The city is still suffering from open defecation along the riverbed, which is seriously
polluting the river water.

6.4: Details of Drainage System:

The general topography of the town is gentle slope from west to east. Maximum elevation
is 28 mts in the north and minimum elevation is 20 mts in south east. The central part of
the city is low with an elevation of 17 mts. Major canal known as taldana canal starts from
jobra at about the center of the city and runs in southeast direction bisecting the town. The
western and southern part of the city are divided by the canal. Open surface drains exist
some portion of the town to discharge the storm and wastewater. Total length of the drain
comes to 1729 Kms. Storm water drains known as drain no 1 runs from west to east and
discharges into Kathajori river while drain runs from west to east direction and discharges
into Mahanadi River.
6.4.1 Existing Drainage System
The cities have open drainage system and total drainage length is about 1729 kms. The
main storm water channel runs 17.25 kms and branch storm water channel is about 29
kms. The length of major surface water drain is 650 kms and kuchch drain is 1028 kms.
Below table shows the Drainage status in Cuttack city
Table 6-6 Indicators for roads
Component Indicator
Total drain length in KMS 1729 kms
Percentage of Pucca drains 40.6
Percentage of Kutcha Drains 59.4
The percentage of kutcha drains is very high and need to be upgraded.
Main drain no. 1

The main drain 1 runs for a length of about
10.47 km. It originates at Srivihar Colony
(Hanuman Temple) near Tulasipur which is
to the north west of the city and ultimately
outfalls in to river Kathajori near
Matagajpur at the city’s south east end.
Beyond the Matagajpur sluice, water flows
for about 2.25 km parallel to Kathajori river
inside the flood plain before joining the
stream. This reach is not having defined drain section. At the origin of the main drain 1 a
tributary drain also joins the main drain about a km upstream of Srivihar colony.

Main drain no. 2

The main drain 2 originates from eastern part of Cuttack Railway Station near the railway
track. It runs for a length of 5.175 km from OMP square to bank of Mahanadi beyond
C.R.R.I. campus and thereafter 3.825 km inside the flood plain before joining the same.
Guluguli sluice on Mahanadi right embankment, just on the eastern boundary of C.R.R.I,
controls water flow of river Mahanadi and prevents back flow into the city. The drainage
area of main drain 2 at Guluguli sluice is 565 hectares. No definite drain section is
maintained in the reach inside the C.R.R.I campus.
As stated earlier the (two) main drains carry wastewater of the town as well as the storm
run-off and discharge the same into the rivers Kathajori and Mahanadi respectively.
Except for stagnating pools of sewage and wastewater, there are no other problems in dry
weather and non-monsoon season. The problem becomes acute every year during the
monsoon due to inadequate carrying capacity of the drains. The problem aggravates when
flood water level in the two rivers are above the water levels in the drainage channels.
Over the years the (two) rivers progressively have silted up due to which the floodwater
flow is at higher level than water level in these main drains. This causes flood lockage and
often results in back flow of floodwater in to the town through (leakage in the) control
sluices. During such times many areas in the city remain water logged while low-lying
areas get in undated. The problems are so severe that to drain out rainwater from the city
even during moderate rains and even when the river stages are not at high level, pumping
becomes essential. Given these conditions, there is an urgent need to develop the sewerage
system and rainwater drainage facilities so as to improve sanitary conditions in the city.

6.4.2 Key Issues:
The following are key issues related to storm water drains.
1. Main drains 1 & 2 get silted up frequently due to insufficiency in channels hydraulics.
2. Constriction in the water way and carrying capacity of the drains, further gets
aggravated as silting results in growth of weeds, shrubs, water hyacinth etc.
3. Some portions of main drains have been narrowed by encroachments and widening of
adjacent roads.
4. Pucca houses are constructed at many places at the reaches of main drains leaving no
space for periodic cleaning, maintenance and repair.
5. City gets inundated during heavy down pours due to inadequate drainage systems
coupled with backwater flow of the rivers.
6. Crossing overs by hume pipe culverts, footbridges, low level bridges and (crossing of)
water supply pipelines causes severe obstruction to flow.
7. Clogging of drains gets aggravated due to uncontrolled intrusion of utility services
like electricity, telephone poles etc.
8. Many areas lack drainage channels. These result in prolonged drainage congestion
and localized flooding.
9. Un-civic practice like throwing garbage
into drains is rampart and there are neither
safe guard nor civic awareness against
this.
10. Most tributary drains are with less than
adequate capacity and the water way
provided in general has little relation to
their drainage areas.
11. At several reaches slums have developed by the side of drains and encroachment over
right of way of existing drainage channels. Many of the slum areas inside the city are
not provided with drains of any sort.
12. Roads are often at a lower elevation than drain full flow level causing reverse flow of
drain water on to the roads.
13. Wet lands and water ponds which earlier used to moderate flood flows have been
degraded or lost in the process of urbanization and as a result, intensity of floods
entering the drains has significantly increased.
14. Lockage of drainage sluice during floods and non-existence of adequate infrastructure
and installation, to fall back during such exigencies aggravates the situation of
flooding of low lying city areas quite frequently.

6.5 Solid Waste Management:
6.5.1 Waste Generation, storage and collection:
The total waste generated per day in city is about 264 MT per day, which comprised of 138
MT of silt debris, and inert material and 126 MT organic and recyclable waste. The per capita
waste generation is 0.4 grams.
The city had 70 waste storage depots and 1000 ill-designed dustbins for the storage of waste.
The sweepers as well as the citizens were expected to deposit the waste at these depots. These
waste storage depots were either open or masonry. At some places cement concrete bins were
also placed. Most of them were unhygienic and unscientific. The waste collection is
privatized in 14 wards , collection is always negligible in ward 46,47 and 48.
Waste Generation from various sources:
The major quantity of waste is construction waste, debris and silt from drains, which can be
used to level the low laying areas in the city. Near by 37 % of waste is generated from
households. Hazardous waste amounts to 4% of the total.
Table 6-7 Waste Generation from various sources:
Source Quantity (Tonnes Percentage
per day)
Sweeping 15 6%
Household 97 37%
Hotels and Restaurants 8 3%
Vegetable market, Fish/meat 12
market 5%
Commercial and industrial waste 10 4%
Hospital waste 1.3 0%
Construction waste, debris and 120
silt from drains 45%
Total 264 100%
6.5.2 Street Sweeping:
For Street sweeping the city is divided into beats among the 1350 sweepers (1200 permanent
and 150 daily wastes). 80% of them had handcarts, which were old and had outdated designs.
The sweepers carried the street sweeping to the waste storage depots in traditional
wheelbarrows.

Map showing the wards covered under solid waste collection

Figure 6-5 Solid Waste Collection Coverage
6.5.3 Transportation:
Garbage is collected through Wheel

Barrows/Tractors and disposed off at the dumping
site. There are 1050 municipal vehicles to collect
and transport to dumping yard. About 70% of
scavengers of CMC are women and waste is
transported through handcarts by them.

6.5.4 Treatment and Disposal:
A 5 MT capacity compost plant is in final stage of construction, in addition to 1 MT capacity

composting plant operating at Nehur Palli. Garbage is collected through Wheel
Barrows/Tractors and disposed off to the dumping ground in Mouza, Brajabiharipur with an
area of 10-15 acres. 27 acres of dumping yard is proposed at a distance of 15 kms from city at
Charviharpur. The city does not have adequate land for waste disposal and is disposing 90%
of the waste in the riverbed and low lying areas and only 10 % is being taken to the dumping
site in unscientific manner. There is no segregation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable
waste.
6.5.4 SWM –Performance Indicators

The collection efficiency of solid waste is only 75 % and only 2% percent of total waste is
treated. There is no source segregation.

Source: Solid Waste Management Plan for Cuttack city
6.5.5 Key issues:
1. Often Waste is dumped into drains and along major rivers posing a severe health
hazards and also obstructing the free flow of drain water.
2. There is no source segregation and door to door collection.
3. Existing collection and disposal of solid waste is unscientific.
4. Absence of provisions for municipal waste collectors (gloves, boots etc..)
5. The frequency of collection in slums areas is very less.
6. Disposing the waste without treatment.
7. The waste is often spilling over on the ground during transportation, due to inadequate
vehicular capacity.
8. lack of land fill facilities.


6.6 Traffic and Transportation:
6.6.1 Inter city Transportation facilities:
Two important lifelines of Southeast India namely Kolkata-Chennai railway line and
National Highway No. 5 pass through the city. The city is also connected with Paradeep port
by road as well as canal. In addition to the railway line there are two major entry points by
roads from North and South through NH-5.
6.6.2 Intra city transportation facilities:
The existing intra city pattern in Cuttack is typical of a linear city. The main road that starts
from the railway station passes through the congested parts of the city. The ring road
encircling the city mainly forms the intercity bus and truck route. The link road connecting
the Badambadi road and NH-5 forms another major intra-city road along which the regional
bus traffic as well as the inter-city buses terminate at the Badambadi bus-stand
6.6.3 Details of pucca and kutcha roads:
83 percent of the road in the city is pucca and remaining 17 percent is kutcha road. The
condition of internal roads of the city is very poor.

6.6.5 Traffic and Transportation in the city:
Cuttack is strategically located on South-Eastern Railway line, national Highway No.5,

National Highway No. 42, State Highway No.9, and State Highway No. 12. The means of
transportation are mainly through trains, buses and other vehicular transport. Buses in private
sector are the main mode of transport. About 68 O.S.R.T.C. Buses, 1,787 Private Buses are
plying through and from the Town from different directions. Road transportation by which
goods are moved inward and outward also plays an important role in making the city of
Cuttack a bustling commercial centre. About 40 transport companies having all India network
of operations have their offices within the town. About 4,500 trucks are engaged daily for this
purpose. Apart from this 250 trucks, 1700 tractors, 25 trekkers, 950 jeeps, 3,500 taxis, 72,000
motor cycles/scooters/mopeds, 800 auto-rickshaws, 20 town buses, 70,000 cycles
/cycle/rickshaws/trolley rickshaws are in the city. The internal roads of the city are very
narrow which lead to the traffic congestion. Total there are 27 parking lots for two wheelers

and four wheelers in different parts of the city, which are not adequate. Vehicles are mostly
parked on the both sides of the main roads, creating traffic congestion.
The modal split of Cuttack city shows that about 90 % are two wheelers out of which 45%
are cycles /cycle/rickshaws/trolley rickshaws and 46% are motor cycles/scooters/mopeds.
Because of narrow and congested lanes most of commuter’s uses two wheelers for internal
trips with in city.3 % of total vehicles are trucks for distribution of goods. Followed by 2%
taxis, as most of the tourists use taxis to visit different tourist places in and around the city.
Figure 6-8 Modal split
Due to the Mahanadi and Katjori rivers not being connected trough over bridge for road
traffic, external communications are cut off from 15th June to 15th November each year,
except for the one road to Jagatsingpur. During the dry season months, a temporary bridge
and road are made across the Katjori. while the Mahanadi remains impassable for vehicular
traffic. There is, however, continuous railway communication between Kolkata and Chennai
through Cuttack.
6.6.6 Key Issues:
1. Internal roads of Cuttack city are very narrow

to carry which leads to traffic congestion.
2. Encroachments on roadside
3. Inadequate parking space
4. Poor traffic management

5. On street parking and informal sector on road side increase traffic congestion on narrow
internal roads of the city.
6. Absence of proper signage and signaling, zebra crossing etc.
7. There is a higher dependence on walking, bicycles, rickshaws. These slow moving vehicles
significantly interfere with the vehicular traffic operations and lower the vehicular travel
speed
8. Growing number of two wheelers are increasing the demand for on street parking making
the condition of the road more worse.
6.7 Street Lighting:
6.7.1 Street Lighting Coverage

The total number of street lights are 9902, and road coverage is only 75 percent. There are no
streetlights in some of the slums. Cuttack Municipal Corporation is the responsible authority
for maintaining and for providing new streetlights on road.

2. Most of the slums lack adequate streetlights.
3. Poor maintenance of streetlights

CHAPTER 7 - Basic Services to the Poor
7.1 Growth of Slums:
Poverty is the most intractable problem of Orissa. According to the estimate made by
Planning Commission in 1999-00, Orissa is the poorest among major States with 47.15%
people living below the poverty line.
As shown in the table below percentage of slum population to the total population was
slightly high in the city as compared to the state. Cuttack has been a major centre of political,
socio-cultural and economic activity. The urban administration has been neglected, resulting
in a skewed population-to-services ratio. This has led to the degradation of existing areas and
the development of slums or “clusters”, particularly in low-lying and vulnerable pockets of
the city. The rapid urbanization, Influx of people to city in search of employment
opportunities resulted in mushroom growth of slums. Cuttack is the largest slum populated
city in the state.

The number of slums in Cuttack increased from 35 in 1981 to more than 106 by 1997. These
106 slums have a population of about 1,52,182.With the expansion of the city and up
gradation of Cuttack Municipality as full fledged Municipal Corporation in the year 2003
along with influx of people in search of their livelihood, the number of slums have been
increased to 258 with a total population of 2,23,619. The Municipal Corporation following
the BPL survey conducted during 2004-2005 has newly identified about 152 slums with a
population of 71,437 in 2004. Out of total 258 slums 82 slums are unauthorized and
remaining 176 are authorized.
7.2: Slum Population
The total slum population of the city is 2,23,619, which is about 42 percent of the city
population. As per the BPL survey 55, 245 families have been identified as living below the
∗
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Program

poverty line. This includes families living in slums and other areas of the CMC. Number of
people below poverty line in slum pockets are1.78 lakh and their percentage to the total slum
population is 80%. The BPL population in the city is 47% to the total population, which is
5% higher than the total slum population.

7.3 Literacy Rate of Slum Population.
The literacy rate of slum population is less compared to the city. Most of the slum dwellers
are daily earners. The literacy rate of slum population in Cuttack city was 45.6 % according
to 1991 census, which is very low compared to the city’s literacy rate of 79 % national
average rate of 64 %.
7.4 Status of Slums
According to BPL survey 2004 the total identified slums are 258. Most of the slums are
located on private land. There is a sharp rise in encroachments on public/ municipal land
from 2001 to 2004. Scarcity of land and increasing population in the city has lead to
encroachments of large chunk of municipal/Government land. About 35000 households are
residing on private land. About 10 slums are included in integrated housing and slum
development program costing around Rs 9 crores.

7.5 Housing Status
Basic features of these slums are dilapidated
housing structures with poor ventilation, over
crowding, inadequate lighting, lack of potable
water, and absence of sanitation facilities faulty
alignment of streets/lanes, inundation during
monsoon, lack of access to fire fighting and
control measures and other basic physical and
social amenities. Around 77% slum dwellers
have secure tenure, and remaining 23 % of
slum population has no tenure ship.

7.6 Socio-economic characteristics:

The socio-economic features of slum dwellers relate to low literacy rate, big family size, high
unemployment rate, dense population, high IMR/MMR coupled with poor environmental
condition and shelter. The Cuttack slums have a family size of 5.2, which is higher than the
city family size. Most of the slum dwellers belong to SC/OBC and minority. Many of them
below poverty line, occupational groups, such as rickshaw pullers, fishermen and sweepers
(sanitary workers), are often located together, and their experience of poverty is directly
related to their status.

Urban poor of Cuttack
Rickshaw pullers – “Most of these rickshaw pullers (around 20,000 during peak season
in Cuttack) live in 19 filthy, unhygienic slums without any infrastructure facilities like
water supply, electricity and sanitation facilities. They are mostly settled on encroached
land and in some cases in rented houses located at low-lying pockets of the city.”
(Friends of Cuttack (1999), “Report on the baseline study of the rickshaw pullers of
Cuttack”, Report for Cuttack Urban Services Improvement Project, DFID–India, New
Delhi, pages 7–8.)
Lepers – “The leper beggars in Nehrupalli and Gandhipalli (Cuttack) have lived in these
colonies for the past 15–16 years. The total population of the two leprosy colonies is
5,115, covering 1,177 families. One thousand live on private land and the rest are on
encroached land belonging to the government. Almost 1,000 of these families eke out
their living by begging. The fear and prejudice regarding this disease is so deep-seated
that even the closest of relations are eager to terminate contact with persons suffering
from this disease. These lepers are ostracized and kept out of home and city. Begging is
considered to be a normal source of earning one’s livelihood.” (Jadav, S (1999), “A
report on the problems of the leprosy-afflicted people who beg”, Cuttack Urban
Services Improvement Project, DFID–India, New Delhi.)
Sweepers/scavengers – About 1,500 unskilled employees of Cuttack Municipal

Corporation are from the sweeper or scavenger caste, and are responsible for cleaning
drains. They are mostly concentrated in a handful of slums. “Paradoxically, the lowest
status slum dwellers (in caste terms) are in general the most secure in the city...they
have, alone among slum dwellers, monopoly access to permanent jobs because of their
ritually ‘unclean’ work of sweeper, they have no competition from other castes… With
this economic security (but substantial backwardness in education and status), these
communities own their own pucca houses…and most have built up substantial savings
in banks.” (Harris, J, C Rosser and S Kumar (1993), “Slum dwellers and the Cuttack
labour market”, Report for DFID–India, New Delhi, page 30.)

7.7 Services available in Slums

The level of urban basic services declined rapidly, leaving the city’s poor with more than 180
persons per tap and more than 40 percent of them without necessary sanitation facilities.
Provision of water supply through tube wells, construction of drainage, improvement of

roads, community latrines, dustbins, streetlight, and social infrastructure like community
centers for multi-purpose activities of slum dwellers have been made in few of the 106 slums
under DFID aided Cuttack Urban Service Improvement Project. In addition to that tube
wells, streetlights are being also provided at times on the basis of need in 106 and in few of
the newly identified 152 slums from out of the CMC fund.
That apart, physical and social infrastructure like road, drain, tube wells and community
centers are also created under the centrally sponsored NSDP scheme.
In total -3 of tube wells, 1 community centers, 2 community toilets have been provided so far.
There are 734 public stand posts in slums, one stand post for 50 families.
7.8: Basic Infrastructure in Slums
Public wells and community bore wells are source of water supply for the residents. Only 60
% of slum population has toilet facilities. Only 5% of slum households have access to street
sweeping daily. Most of the slums are un cleaned and un hygienic in condition. About 30 %
households have access to waste collection facility. Majority of slums doesn’t have any
drainage facility and the drain water flows openly through slum clusters. 36% of slum
households have accessed are skill development training programs, which need to be
upgraded to 100%. All slum dwellers are dependant on public stand post for water supply.25
% of slums are not covered with any electric connections.

In all instances, the slum dwellers reported inadequate, poorly maintained toilet facilities.
Municipality is not providing any of the basic service in slums, which are located on
government land. Most of these slums are dependent on public stand post, which are provided
by private owners in charity. None of these slums have sewerage and drainage facilities.
Predominant numbers of slum dwellers go for open defecation along the riverbed.
Social Infrastructure in Slums: There are 203 Anganwadi’s and 12 urban health centers in the
slums of Cuttack.
7.9: Poverty Alleviation Programs
Presently there are only two central sponsored schemes is that Integrated housing and slum
improvement program and national slum development program.

7.15 Poverty alleviation Programmes
Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP)
IHSDP, a component of JNNURM launched during December, 2005 aims at combining the
existing VAMBAY and NSDP for having an integrated approach in ameliorating the
conditions of the urban Slum dwellers who do not possess adequate shelter and reside in
dilapidated condition. The basic objective of the scheme is to strive for holistic slum
development with a healthy and enabling urban environment by providing adequate shelter
and basic infrastructure facilities to the slum dwellers of the identified urban areas. Cuttack
city has been included under this scheme. Under the scheme, provision of shelter including
upgradation and construction of new houses, provision of community toilets, provision of
physical amenities like water supply, storm water drain, community bath, widening and
paving of existing lanes, sewers, street light etc. community infrastructure like provision of
community centers, community primary health care centers have been made. However the
scheme of health, education and social security are to be provided through convergence of
services. This scheme includes all slum improvement/upgradation and relocation projects.

It is anticipated that the implementation of this programme will upgrade and improve the
basic urban infrastructure including the housing of the recognized slum areas. Presently 10
slums are covered under integrated housing and slum development program.
Valmic Ambedkar Awas Yojana (VAMBAY)

Valmik Ambedakar Awas Yojana (VAMBAY) was introduced in the year 2001. The primary
objective of this scheme is to provide shelter or upgrade the existing shelter of people living
below poverty line in the urban slums.
Under this programme, the CMC has identified 250 beneficiaries and 100 families have been
covered with the available subsidy of Rs. 20,00,000=00.
Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana

Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rojgar Yojana comprises of two special schemes named of urban self
employment programme (USEP) and Urban wage employment programme (UWEP) with an
objective of providing self employment and wage employment to the unemployed and under
employed youth living below poverty line.
Under the component of USEP, 443 beneficiaries have been covered for undertaking micro-
enterprise activities. Vocational skill training has also been provided to individuals and
women group for making them self-employed. 503 unemployed youth have been imparted
trainings most of whom belong to slums.
Group economic activities are encouraged under DWCUA and Thrift and Credit societies for
income generation and women empowerment. 4 DWCUA groups have been financed through
Banks for undertaking group enterprise. 45 thrift and credit groups consisting of 403
members have been assisted revolving fund amounting to Rs.4, 03,000=00 for increasing
micro-finance and micro enterprise activities. 208 members from 19 groups have been
covered under insurance scheme.
Uncovered beneficiaries under USEP are provided wage employment in creating social &
economically useful community assets like roads, drains, tube wells, community centers etc.
under wage employment programme.

Social Security Scheme

The various Govt, social security schemes are in operation for converging benefit to slum
dwellers and reducing their future insecurity.
Old age/widow pension:

9595 beneficiaries are being provided with old age/widow pension each month. The
beneficiaries initially received pension amounting to Rs.100/- on 15th of each month. This
amount has been revised to Rs.200/- with effect from 1.04.06.
Orissa Disability pension:

Under this scheme disabled persons are receiving pension amount of Rs. 200/- each month.
Maximum beneficiaries are residing in slums.
BPL Cards:
21,673 families have been identified and provided with BPL cards for receiving ration each
month and getting benefits under various Anti-poverty programme.
Antadoya Anna Yojana :
6695 families have been covered under AAY / Expanded AAY and the beneficiary gets 35 kg
rice each per month @ Rs. 3/- per kg.
Annapurna Yojana:
Under the scheme, 10 kg. rice per month is provided to the poorest of poor/destitute in the
slum. The total nos. of beneficiaries who are in receipt of the benefit is 812.
National Family Benefit Scheme:

233 nos families have been benefited out of this scheme. The scheme envisages one time
financial assistance of Rs.10,000/- or Rs. 5000/- to be given to the legal heir of the deceased
at his untimely demise due to accidence or natural death respectively.
7.16 Key Issues and Concerns

Inadequate basic services in slums i.e. water supply, sanitation, sewerage and drainage
facilities, electricity, streetlights.
Poor financing by banks to urban poor in bankable scheme for self employment and
Income Generation.
Discontinuous community/social development programmes.

Inadequate skill development, exposure and knowledge exchange programme for the
community development staff / officer and members at the office and community level
for efficient and effective delivery of services in the scenario of paradigm shift in
technology advancement.
Lack of innovative approach and skill in planning, monitoring and delivering required
services to the poor in the community.
Inadequate resources of Municipal Corporation.

CHAPTER 8 - Gender Mainstreaming
8.1 Introduction:
City Development Plan must be gender-sensitive if it is to be equitable, sustainable and
effective. Gender based urban development is about promoting cities that respond equally to
men and women. Gender mainstreaming is an accepted worldwide strategy to promote
gender equality. Mainstreaming is about incorporating gender into all aspects of development
programming – policy, dialogue, legislation, structure and institutions, resource allocations
and use, planning, implementation and monitoring. In the CDP, gender mainstreaming will be
about gender neutral infrastructural development.
A better understanding of the urban gender concerns, especially related to provision of basic
services and policy reforms, a roadmap and approach to integrated gender issues within the
urban renewal and reform agenda are very much required.
8.2 Why Mainstreaming Gender:
Women and men, rich and poor use urban spaces and contribute to city economic
development as producers and providers of goods and services. However each has different
service requirements, which needs to be taken into consideration while planning for service
provision. All the infrastructure projects have different impacts on men and women.
Women experience and use the urban environment in different ways from men, they have
different priorities in terms of services and infrastructure, such as transport, housing, water
and sanitation etc. Such priorities rarely feature in urban policy or investments. There has
been insufficient recognition of how women and men use and contribute to the city in
different ways; how this is influenced by their different responsibilities in the home and in
society and how this in turn affects their ability to engage in public life. Too little has been
done to plan and manage cities with a focus on women. A fresh perspective is needed, which
recognizes women as integral players in urban governance and facilitates their participation
in urban partnerships.
Infrastructure planning in India has been traditionally done by and for men. Women have
little control over use of resources. Some infrastructure performs efficiently only when
gender specific interventions are planned, budgeted, implemented and monitored. For
example community based water supply services that means more time spent by women in
water collection, reduce frequency of buses in non peak hours that increased travel time for

women, roads and street lights designed without women’s safety needs or streetlights
increase crime rates against women and are not gender neutral infrastructure services.
Gender blending at a city level will require a thorough and comprehensive understanding of
gender based inequalities in local context together with their cause and effects and the
designing of strategic interventions, estimation of costs and benefits, development of
monitoring frameworks to ensure accountability, and the creation of capacity and
commitment for engendering urban development.
8.3 Current situation:
Here the existing status of women in sectors like demography, literacy, social etc have
discussed in brief. The sex ratio of the city was 870 according to 2001 census figures. The
sex ratio of the city is increasing from past two decades, as well as there is significant
increase in literacy rate from past two decades. The literacy rate of Cuttack is 75 percent
only. Female literacy rate is about 10 percent less than the male literacy rate. Women
working population are less compare to the overall workforce; out of 100 working people
only 13 women are working as per 2001 census record. There is a 5 percent increase in
women workforce participation from 1991 to 2001.most of the women are working as
marginal workers due to availability of less time after household work, and lack of working
skills and low literacy rate. Status of women in slums is in vulnerable condition in terms of
social and safety measures.
Recent times there is a considerable importance known for women participation in different
sectors like political, administrative and also in decision-making process for example the
chairperson of the corporation is a woman.
8.4 Strategies for Integrating Gender Concern:
CDP has undertaken Gender analysis and formulated strategies for integrating gender
concerns as follows:
8.4.1 Water Supply:
1. The present water supply coverage can be increased to 100 percent to avoid waiting time
of women for fetching drinking water.
2. Women and men are consulted in design, operation and maintenance , tariff setting etc

8.4.2 Sanitation:
there is a need to Construct of separate women and girl friendly public and institutional
toilets. This will reduce the girl drop out rate from the schools and also address women’s
problems in work environment. On the whole it will also help in addressing the health issue
faced by women to a certain extent.
8.4.3 Solid Waste Management:

In Cuttack about 80 percent of the municipal sweepers and waste collectors are
women. Need to avail the facilities like gloves, shoes etc. for their health safety
reasons.
Women spend more time in home so improper waste management causes higher risk to
them and hence they become more vulnerable. There is a need to create awareness
campaign for door-to-door collection.

Own Sources of income of the CMC includes income from resource mobilization activities in
the form of taxes, fees, user charges, rent received from corporation properties, etc. Revenue
sources are further classified as tax revenue and non-tax sources that are generated by various
sections of the CMC.
Property tax is the major source of tax revenue while other taxes include water tax, light tax,
latrine tax, advertising (hoarding) tax, entertainment tax and tax on deficit parking spaces.
Non-tax sources included all non-tax revenues such as fees and charges levied as per the
Municipal Corporation Act. Such revenue sources include user charges on pound and kines
houses, rent from crematorium, hire charges of pumps and JCB, road cutting charges, solid
waste management, library fees and town bus collections etc.; and rental income from
corporation properties various fees and fines as per municipal corporation act. Major source
of revenue income is in the form of Entry Tax share in lieu of Octroi Tax & unspent amount
(U/S 197(2) of O.M.C Act 2003) which contributed about three-fourth of the revenue income
on an average. Own sources in the form of Tax revenue contributed on an average about 4.61
percent of the total revenue income. There has been a steady rise in the own sources during
the period 2002-03 to 2005-06. However there has been a declining trend in terms of
dependence on assigned revenues in the form of Entry Tax in lieu of Octroi, which is a
healthy scenario for the self-sustenance of the CMC. But the dependence on Govt. Grant is
increasing. As whole, the revenue income has registered an annual growth of about 7.69
percent on an average during the period from 2002-03 to 2006-07.

property varies with the nature of use, viz. a) residential use - owner occupied, b) residential
use - rental and c) commercial use. The ARV is calculated based on the plinth area, building
and land cost.

Similar growth trend may be observed in current property tax demand, which has increased
from Rs. 108.68 lakhs in FY 2002-03 to Rs. 160.99 lakhs in FY 2006-07. This indicates an
average increase of about 10.37 percent per annum. However during these same assessment

periods, the arrear demand is showing a decreasing trend from Rs. 98.72 lakh in FY 2002-03
to Rs. 81.48 lakhs in FY 2006-07. On an average, about 37 percent of the total demand was
arrears, which is very high compared to other similar ULBs in the country. During FY 2005-
06, total arrear demand was about 37.44 percent of the total demand, which was lower than
the average during the assessment period. The same is the case of FY 2006-07 in which total
arrear demand was 33.60 percent. The collection performanceis also showing improvement
during the assessment period. The overall collection performance was about 96.61 percent
during FY 2002-03, which has increased to 120.52 percent during FY 2003-04 but reduced to
109.86 percent during FY 2004-05. Again this has increased to 122.14 percent in FY 2005-06
and reduced to 111.71 percent in 2006-07. Similarly, collection performance of current tax
has also increased from 72.24 percent (in FY 2002-03) to 72.38 percent (in FY 2006-07) and
that of the arrear collection has improved from 24.37 percent to 39.33 percent during these

9.5 Fixed Assets

Proper fixed asset registers is not maintained by the corporation for movable and immovable
assets though some registers prepared but information about fixed assets scattered in different
departments and are not readily available. In regard to some assets CMC has no proper
records available. However, these assets need to be verified and valued and a fixed asset
register need to be prepared. Identification of all assets and valuation thereof is required to
arrive the correct net worth of the corporation. During our visit and discussion with officials
we were able to identify some of fixed assets, which are:

9.6 Key Issues/ Observations:
The GoO is yet to prescribe a complete set of finance rules required to comply with the
various provisions of the Act of 2003. Consequently, the CMC is still following the
rules given under the Orissa Municipal Rules, 1953, which corresponds to the Orissa
Municipality Act, 1950;
The CMC is yet to adopt the accounting of receivables and payables using accrual
basis as required by the Act;
The CMC is yet to adopt the manner of accounting of the Corporation Fund under five
separate sub-fund accounts as required under the Act;
CMC is yet to adopt the OMC Act in its entirety, the Orissa Municipal Corporation
Rules, 2004 does not cover all aspects of day to day operation of the corporation.
The Accounts Section is working merely as the final bill approval authority and
cheques issuing authority. No finance functions per se are handled by the department;
The pay-roll accounting and the stores/inventory are managed by different sections.
As per Orissa municipal Corporation rules, 2004 the corporation shall decide on the
manner and the form in which the accounts of all financial transactions of the
corporation shall be kept. But, CMC is yet to decide on the form and manner the
accounts are kept. At the same time, the GoO is yet to prescribe the manner and form
for maintenance of accounts.
The CMC is not preparing any Annual Statement of Accounts.
Presently, CMC is following cash-based single entry system of accounting for
maintaining its daily transactions using registers and formats prescribed under the
Orissa Municipal Rules, 1953.
a. Revenues are recorded only when cash or cheques are received;
b. Expenditures are recorded only when payments are made in respect
thereof;
c. Receivables arising due to demand raised are not recorded in the
accounting system;
d. Liabilities are not recognized on receiving of the service and/or goods;
e. The classification between capital and revenue items of receipts and
expenditures is not maintained;
f. Municipal accounts are maintained manually. All transactions are first
entered in the cash book, then they are posted into the head-wise abstract

register. At the year end a statement of income and expenditure is prepared

from the abstract register.
g. Revenue and capital items are not distinguished. Receivables, payables,
non-cash items of expenditure are never considered. The cash book
records only the transaction of receipt and payment in cash.
h. The accounting system is not computerized.
The Orissa Municipal Corporation Act, 2003 is yet to be supported by a complete set
of municipal finance rules, thus the CMC is following the old sets of registers and
forms, prescribed under the Orissa Municipal Rules, 1953.
No fixed asset registers is maintained.
Though there is a staff advance register available in the corporation, but it is not
maintained properly by the corporation.
Budgeting is done on an incremental basis and there is no scientific methodology of
forecasting both revenue and expenditure. The budget documents are not user friendly.
Lack of Public participation in the budget preparation process. There is no multi year
budget for capital expenditure, which is spread over multi years. Budget is not used as
financial management tool or for performance monitoring. A brief study of the budget
document for the year 2007-08 suggests that there seems to be wide variance in the
budgeted and actual figures of revenue and expenditure.
Expenditure on works is taken up according to the budget figures which are not
properly backed by the flow of revenue as a result the payments of contractors for
completed works get delayed due to insufficient funds and those payments are
generally deferred and paid out of the next year’s annual revenue. At the same time,
next year’s budget is also prepared with fund for next year’s new assignments. This
leads to a liquidity crunch situation.
Year-end reconciliation’s are not carried out where necessary. No reconciliation’s are
made for advances given and adjusted with the cashbook and the advance legers.
The CMC is not conducting any physical verification of stocks and fixed assets.
Information in regard to various assets is scattered, and also in regard to some assets
CMC has no proper records available. However, these assets need to be verified and
valued before they are considered in the assets register.
Local Fund Audit is carried out within the Corporation by the LF officers.
No analysis of variance between the budget estimates and the actual are carried out.
Accounting information lays scattered between the finance and account section, and
the other sections like holding section, license section, engineering section, etc.
The team has been informed that no formal Management Information System (MIS)
reports are being generated in CMC. However, under specific requirements of senior
functionaries, the section officials collate information and provide to them as and when
required.

There is no system of maintaining depreciation fund for any assets, which may create a
liquidity crunch situation in case of any major asset breakdown.
There is no cash management, receivable management, inventory management and
expenditure management system for the corporation for better financial management.
Though there is a proper internal control system is in place but some changes required
for a transparent and better financial management.
There is no Management Information System (MIS) is running in the ULB though
different departments prepares different reports as and when necessary.
9.4 Financial Operating Plan
The Financial Operating Plan (FOP) is a forecast of finances of the Urban Local Bodies
(ULBs), generated for a short-medium term or long-term period. FOP for Short-term period
is prepared for 5 to 7 years, and for long-term period is prepared for 20 years. However FOP
prepared for short term period of 5 years or medium term period of 7 years, shows the
forecast of finances accurately. However in this assignment, the FOP is generated for
medium-term of 7 years, as the mission period of UIDSSMT is 7 years. This CDP document
would be utilized for accessing the financial assistance from UIDSSMT for 7 years, i.e., from
2008-09 to 2014-15.
The FOPs are financial forecast of an ULB developed after taking into account the growth
trends of various components of income and expenditure, and is based on the time-series
data. While forecasting the finances of the ULB several assumptions need to be made.
Assumptions are done on the basis of current growth trends, contribution pattern of various
revenue sources and utilization pattern of various expenditure heads. The following section
provides an insight into the various assumptions made, necessary logic and justifications for
such assumptions.
9.4.1 Capital Investment Plan
The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) is a scheduling of Investments for public physical
improvement for a certain number of years in future. The scheduling of the plan is based on
analysis of fiscal resources available for new investment and O&M, technical capacity for
construction and O&M, and the choice of improvements to be taken up over a period of 7
years into the future.
Accordingly, the CIP for infrastructure services in Cuttack Municipal Corporation has been
formulated. Phasing of the investments is also worked out considering the need for the
service and the sustainability of its investments, which forms part of the FOP. The CIP is an
integral part of the FOP and the CIP provides essential inputs in terms of capital transactions.
The Capital Investment Plan involved the identification of public capital facilities to cater to

the demands of the city populace during different stages as per the requirement of various
urban services. The steps adopted in capital investment requirement and formulating the CIP
is: project identification, project screening and prioritization, project phasing.
9.4.2 Capital Investment Estimate, CIP And Phasing

The estimated sector-wise investment required for the mission period (2008-09 to 2014-15) is
furnished in the table given below:

It can be seen from the above table and chart that highest utilization of about 44 percent of
capital investment estimate is envisaged for the Sewerage, Storm Water Drains and
Sanitation. Water Supply is other major sectors with an envisaged utilization of 21 percent.
The next two major sectors with highest utilization are Traffic and Transportation and Slum
Development and Urban Poverty Reduction, with estimate of 13 percent and 14.50 percent
respectively. All other sectors together utilized about 7.50 percent in which major share
being planned for Solid Waste Management and Environment.
The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) has been prepared for a period of 7 years (FY 2008-09 to
FY 2014-15). The phasing has been worked out based on the priorities assigned by the
stakeholders and preparedness of the service providing agencies to prepare the DPR and
initiate implementation of the proposals.

9.4.3 Financial Operating Plan

The objective of this section is to evaluate the investment sustenance capacity of Cuttack
Municipal Corporation with reference to the identified projects given in CIP. The FOP
generated under is in full consonance with City's Vision & approach to development and
priorities and action plans approved by the stakeholders.
9.4.4 Base And Basis

The FOP has been prepared to assess the investment sustaining capacity of the CMC, in
which the fiscal situation is simulated through a Financial Operating Plan (FOP). The FOP is
essentially a multi-year forecast of finances for a term of 7 years. It is used to forecast all

income and expenditure for the period between FY 2008-09 and FY 2014-15. The following
paragraphs provide important considerations towards simulating the fiscal situation of the
CMC:
Following are important considerations towards simulating the fiscal situation of the CMC,

CHAPTER 10 – Vision and Strategic Action Plan
Cuttack is the second largest city in Orissa. It is a water locked city and its growth is
constrained since it is surrounded by two major rivers. That is the reason why Cuttack has the
highest density in the state. The city has also grown very fast over the years being a historical
and cultural capital of Orissa. The state high court is located here. However, the city is
experiencing major floods over the last few years. The city could only grow in two directions
– towards Port Paradeep and towards Jagatpur on NH 5. The city could partner grow
Bhubaneswar as well as western side. The city may not consider intensive vertical
development since the city falls under earthquake zone. In view of this the growth of Cuttack
needs to be discouraged in cntral part f the city and encouraged in the outer areas.

10.4 strategic action plan
10.4.1 Economic development:
Paying special attention to trade and commerce and also to service sector could strengthen economy
of the Cuttack city. To revitalize these sectors appropriate policy, incentives, infrastructure and land
use planning is essential. The following strategies are suggested for promoting economic growth.
Develop Cuttack as a Trade and commerce center of the state.
The city has got regional importance in trade and commerce. There is a need to develop
organized market centers and to improve the transportation linkages. Identifying the inflow
and outflow of goods and their major transship points by upgrading the infrastructure
facilities in wholesale markets. Malgodown one of the biggest wholesale markets in Orissa
needs to be developed. The household industries could be strengthened by providing special
incentives like subsidized loans, flexible policy environment for approval of HH industries
etc. Enhancing the prominent sliver and filigrees works through skill development is needed.
Promoting cluster based activities:

The key economic activities that have potential for growth in Cuttack are trade and
commerce, small-scale industry, education, health, and service industry. A cluster-based
approach should be adopted by allocating land and infrastructure at appropriate places. Right
kind of incentives and support should be provided.
Provision of Infrastructure facilities

There is an urgent need to provide infrastructure facilities like power, water supply, sanitation
and transportation to enhance the competitiveness of the city. The following strategies are
suggested for this purpose.
Effective planning is required to improve the infrastructure such as roads, water

supply, sewerage and sanitation
Improved and uninterrupted power supply for providing better services
Improvements in both physical and social infrastructure to attract service sector like IT
industry etc to develop the economy and improve overall quality of life.
Enhancing the infrastructure facilities at Paradeep port.
Upgrading the infrastructure facilities at Malgodown wholesale market.
a. Development of parking place for heavy vehicles.
b. Providing public toilets for public as well as wholesale market workers.
c. Privatization of operation and maintenance of the market

d. Rebuilding of old structures with sophisticated technology

e. Pavement of all internal roads of the market and provide separate
pedestrian lane.
Favorable Policy and Incentives

With proper incentives offered by the public sector in promoting the private sector, Cuttack,
in future, may also develop as an industrial centre of Orissa with the concentration of
household, small medium and large-scale industries. There is a need to set up single window
cell to clear the applications at one point.
Promote planned development through proper land use planning

To attract national and international investors the city should be developed as a planned city
by developing schemes and layouts as per the standards and norms with adequate amenities.
This should be done based on a review of the existing physical and sectoral plans and
proposals articulated in Comprehensive Development Plan vision 2030.
The western part of the city could be developed as a transshipment point and towards north
side of the city that is towards Jagatpur there is scope for industrial growth.Government
policy should aim at establishing economic activities between Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.
Bhubaneswar - Cuttack Urban Complex should be promoted as a strategic node for tourist
destinations. The emergence of new academic and other institutional activities, corporate
functions will further add to this growth momentum.
Local Economic Development

1. Promoting economic growth drivers through favorable policy framework
2. Integrated development of infrastructure and landuse for economic development
3. Incentives and business friendly environment
4. Livelihood development action plan for the poor
5. Branding Cuttack as a tourism destination through media.
10.4.2 Strategies for Improving Urban Infrastructure and Service Delivery
Considering the Challenges and identified goals, a robust strategy needs to be adopted to
create Cuttack as a regional hub of economic activities. Strategic Action Plan needs to be
articulated which covers policy level planning, reforms, institutional strengthening, source
augmentation and service delivery aspects.

Water Supply
Cuttack has only ground water as a source of water supply. Presently PHED is supplying 115
MLD for 8 hours per day. The existing water supply system is sufficient enough to cater city
population. Quality of water supply is in poor condition. There is proposal for surface water
source at Ph naraj and also for construction of water treatment plant in the city. Existing
pipeline network is 50 years old causing leakages and also affecting the quality of supply.
Transform to 24X7 water supply from intermittent supply.

City is having adequate sources for continuous supply. It requires up gradation of trunk
infrastructure for continuous water supply
Constructing a water treatment plant to improve the quality of the service
Establishing water quality studies
Rationalization of existing tariff system
Subsidized connection cost for poor.
Improving the bill collection efficiency.
Piloting 24x7 zone wise.
Automation of operation and maintenance.
Rainwater harvesting measure to be mandatory
Complaint redressal made rsobust.
Non-Revenue Water (NRW):

It is reported that about 40 percent of the physical losses of water in transmission and
distribution, which add up to the non-revenue water supply. Measures to be taken for leak
detection of pipeline. The un-metered connections need to be dealt with progressively so that
they are bought under metering system.
Institutional accountability:
According to the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act these functions entrusted to the urban
local bodies and it is mandatory to comply with the same under the UIDSSMT/JNNURM
program. Hence the city should formulate a strategy and mechanisms to make the water
supply delivery accountable to the Cuttack Municipal Corporation

10.4.9 Municipal finance:
Double entry accounting system: Transition from single entry cash based accounting
system to double entry accrual based accounting system which is in the process should
be quickly implemented. Capacity building measures should be undertaken for ULB
staff for conversion to double entry accounting system and maintenance thereof.s
Participatory budgeting: Transparency and accountability are the key indicators for
practicing good governance. CMC need to adopt ‘participatory budgeting’ by
involving people at every stage.
Self-sufficient municipal finance system: Currently, large amount of municipal

expenditure is dependent on grants and subsidies. Even the revenue expenditure is not
met from the revenue income. The 74th constitutional amendment promotes
decentralization of power and responsibilities to the local governments by devolving
eighteen functions. To realize CMC to be a third tier government to its full potential,
there is need to attain self-sufficiency in financial management. This requires following
interventions:
Computerization of all municipal operation like accounting processes,

property tax collection, MIS, and grievances redressal system for citizens.
Fixed Asset register should be prepared by identifying all the assets and
correct cost identification and valuation thereof. Fixed asset register should

be maintained at historical cost basis as suggested by National municipal

Accounting Manual (NMAM).
Financial Management manual should be prepared for the corporation.
Financial management tools like cash management, inventory
management, receivable management, expenditure management should be
implemented for smooth operation.
Cash flow estimation or budget should be prepared on a regular basis for
optimum utilization of cash.
Analysis of receivables should be made and efforts should be made to
collect huge arrears of holding tax.
Depreciation fund for the municipality should be created for replacement
of assets.
Business Process reengineering of financial activities should be
undertaken.
Rational budget on accrual basis should be prepared. If accrual based
double entry accounting system is implemented then cash based
incremental based budget also needs change. For the first year after
conversion of accounting system to double entry system, zero base
budgeting may be considered. This will make the budget process more
rational and will help to compare budget and actual performance.
Programme and performance budgeting (PPB) may be implemented
through following steps:
i. By identifying and grouping service activities into
programs;
ii. Preparation of program goals;
iii. Preparation of objectives;
iv. Determination of performance indicators to measure
the achievement of objectives through activity
indicators, performance indicators, efficiency
indicators and effectiveness indicators.
v. Preparation of budget for each programme
Reconciliation of receivables, payables, advances, bank accounts should
be carried out at regular intervals.
Financial statements of the corporation should be prepared at the year end
and audit of such statements should be carried out by external agency.
Costing of Municipal services should be carried out. CMC should target
towards Full Cost accounting.
Proper Management Information System should be implemented in the
ULB for planning, monitoring and performance evaluation.

Appropriate Internal Control System should be implemented in the ULB.

Lack of trained manpower is a major problem so a training need
assessment should be carried out to identify the gap and necessary training
may be imparted for better capacity building because introduction of
double entry system of book-keeping will require trained staff for smooth
operation.
Professionals accountants may be recruited on contractual basis in the
initial years of operation and for capacity building of fellow accountants

The ULB with support from SUDA should set up a CDP monitoring committee comprising
of 1-15 members from elected representatives, officials from key departments and civil
society members. The Committee should be headed by the Chairperson.
The city should establish a CDP cell comprising of 3 or 4 senior officials from the ULB to act
as the Secretariat for the CDP monitoring committee.
The city with support from Housing and Urban Development Department should set up a
Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to implement CDP as well as reforms under the
UIDSSMT.
The city should organize a donor consultation to disseminate the CDP and mobilize
resources.
