Contextualizing River Rejuvenation in Urban India

THE ADMINISTRATOR (Journal of LBSNAA), 2020

The extent to which urbanization impacts ecological balance and a river’s natural life has been an area of study for quite some time and the collateral damage is a sought to be reversed through sustainable approaches of river rejuvenation around the world. The paper takes a historical look at the issues crippling river health and the urgent need to address the city planning system to embed the river within the urban fabric in the Indian context. Technology and innovative solutions are being deployed to strengthen the conservation process, while behavioral impact campaigns are being organized to mobilize public thought and action to reclaim the rivers in the cities. Policy changes and institutional frameworks are being put in place for effective river governance. More such efforts that can future-proof urban rivers are the need of the hour and it is time we acknowledged the necessity to practice the best of them to save our rivers. One such approach, as advocated in this paper, is the Urban River Management Plan to safeguard long-term sustainability and provide an assessment framework for river health that will ensure timely monitoring and management of river-related issues.

Recent Initiatives for Affordable Housing

Indian Buildings Congress Publication, 2017

This has resulted in widened housing backlog, aggravated infrastructure deficit and mushrooming of slums and informal settlement. As such, housing has gained paramount importance in the Government policies and private investments. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) under the Housing for All Mission to ensure that the housing backlogs are bridged and a sustainable ecosystem is created for a self-propelled market to address future concerns systematically. Two years into the scheme, the PMAY (U) has fared phenomenally well and is expected to pace up more to soon realize the agenda of housing for all by 2022. This paper briefs about the PMAY (U) Scheme and its present status, various interventions and future roadmap for the housing sector.
