10. Rehabilitation Policy The Slum & JJ Deptt of MCD (now DUSIB) had earlier been following three pronged strategy for looking after the problems associated with the existence of slums and squatter clusters. Strategy I  Carrying out environment improvement of existing slums under the EIUS scheme in the slum clusters. Strategy II  In-situ redevelopment on the JJ cluster sites, where the land owning agencies gave NOC for utilising their land for planned development and reallocation of plots to the inhabitants. Strategy III  Resettlement of the jhuggijhopri inhabitants on a newly developed site, in the form of allocating either a plot of 18/12.5 sqm. or by providing a built up tenement of 25-40 sqm. covered area.

14. Government Intervention • 46 clusters identified for relocation (15000 Jhuggies) • Beneficiary identification • Cut off date changed from 2002 to 2007 • 40 % JJ dwellers found eligible • 60% population may be in-eligible due to following reasons (??) - Seasonal migration - Lack of Ration Card/ Voter I- card - Frequent change of residence - Change in Employment opportunities

24. Govt. Role and Challenges: • NOC from Land Owning Agency required to allow the people to stay on the land. • Subsequently, Land tenure may be provided to people on a leasehold basis, at the prevalent cost. • People may pay for the land cost through community savings or long-term loans.

25. Govt. Role and Challenges: • Govt. to enable Finance through NGOs and micro-finance institutions as no Banks are coming forward for providing loans • Govt. to work closely with local NGOs to facilitate and encourage the formation of local CBOs for future sustainability, sense of ownership and belonging. • Govt. to provide basic services, infrastructure and social amenities. As much as possible, all infrastructure should involve participation from the local community in construction and maintenance.
