CITY SANITATION PLAN - Ministry of Urban Development

CITY SANITATION PLAN BAREILLY
No proper mechanism of solid waste disposal exists. Either the disposal sites are non-existent or
even if they exist, they are located at faraway place which the slum dwellers find inconvenient to
use. The few waste disposal sites that exist are in a sad state of affairs as they are not cleaned on a
daily basis and the waste gets scattered all over the place creating a health hazard.
In most of the slums, no provision has been made to provide storm water drains. Due to which
water logging takes place adding to the unhygienic condition within the slums.
While the city has made provision for public sanitation facilities in a few slums, still about 25-30% of
slum population goes for open defecation, causing both a health hazard and a problem of safety.
At present the number of notified slum is 85 and strategies for rehabilitation and implementation of
central and state government schemes can only be carried out in the notified slums. There is a need
to carry out a fresh survey to cover all slums and poor communities so that the actual demand for
housing and basic services for urban poor can be ascertained and overall city environment can be
improved.
2.4 GOVERNANCE AND INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
'Good governance' is the overarching objective of public administration in the civic arena. In virtually all
sectors of public intervention and service delivery, it is now agreed that unless and until the state of
governance is 'good', service or product delivery will not be proper. In the recent past, a large number of
people and organizations have given a variety of definitions of what governance is all about.
Governance is defined differently in terms of the context. According to one definition, “the ways in
which stakeholders interact with each other in order to influence the outcomes of public policies " is
public governance. According to the World Bank, “the manner in which power is exercised in the
management of a country's economic and social resources for development " is good governance.
There are today dozens of definitions of what governance and good governance is. However, if one has
to summaries and list downs the ten characteristics of good governance, they would be:
Citizen involvement, participation and satisfaction
Transparency in all decision making
Accountability of actions taken
