INITIATION OF THE DDP • To introduce the DDP in the Municipality the “Launch Workshop” was held on 8th August 2005. It had representation from various stakeholders (municipal councilors, staffs, ward committees’ members, CDS members, prominent citizens, local trade associations etc.) • The purposes of disseminating information & launching the DDP preparation in the municipality were fulfilled to a great extent through the Launch Workshop. • 30 sensitization workshops (one in each ward) were held in the Municipality involving the concerned Ward Committees, CDS, local residents and other stakeholders.
The Process The methodological approach : • Participation by and consultation with the widest range of stakeholders including the public at large, the NHC, NHG, CDS and the Ward Committees. • Technical analysis to supplement the identified proposals involving experts. • Collation and integration of all components to arrive at the final DDP. • Participatory tools : Focus Group Discussions, Group meeting exercises etc. • Quantitative and qualitative tools: Structured questionnaires were administered on a representative sample for quantitative estimates. Each component of the DDP followed the defined process. • Besides, GIS method has also been used to prepare the base map.
The Stakeholders • Important groups constituted at municipality level for the DDP preparation process: • DDP Policy Group (DPG) • DDP Technical Groups (DTGs): Three such DTGs were formed for the 3 main components of the DDP. • DTG 1: This group had focus on Component 1 (Infrastructure, Land Use and Environment Development) • DTG 2: This group had focus on Component 2 (Social and Livelihood Development) • DTG 3: This group had focus on Component 3 (Municipal Institutional Strengthening) • Other Internal Municipal Stakeholders : the Councilors, Municipality Staffs, Ward Committees, CDS, NHG, NHC, MP, MLA, academicians, leading professionals, General public (including poor and slum inhabitants) and various interest groups like educational institutions, resident’s associations, heritage conservation groups, women’s associations, Trade Associations etc. • External stakeholders : CMU, KMDA, MAD, DLB, MED, ZP etc.

Obstacles & Shortcomings • Limitations in the field of overall resource availability • There were gaps in various socio-economic and infrastructure datasets, thus resulting on a greater emphasis on the use of secondary data, perceived priorities of stakeholders for the purpose of planning. • The “first generation” DDP focused more on the process of preparation of the plans that address short to medium term problems. • Emphasis were on identifying and prioritizing issues in a participatory manner, rather than only rely on detailed technical analysis.
Focus of this DDP • To assess the needs of various stakeholders and identify the gaps of our service delivery or others in a structured manner as guided by the concerned good offices of the State Government. • To prepare feasible solutions subject to the limitation constraints to us. • To maximize citizens’ satisfactions under the current set up and availability of resources in our disposal. • Over and above it was a learning experience to us to solve the problems in a properly planned fashion.
