DUSIB surveys 270 slums for Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana

| Wednesday | 9th October, 2019

The survey has covered 1.25 lakh households in roughly 270 slum clusters, who will be issued survey certificates by the Delhi Government. This is a stepping stone towards the task of rehabilitation of slum clusters under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana (MMAY), formerly known as the Delhi Slum & Jhuggi JhopriRehabilitation & Relocation Policy, 2015. This will help to determine number of years the family has been residing in the slum clusters and also define the number of family members in each household. This survey will help the government in estimating the demand for construction of houses for the poor in the coming years." The primary focus of the MMAY-2015 is to rehabilitate the slum clusters within a radius of five kms of the existing slum so that there is a minimum interruption in the lives of people who are rehabilitated.

New Delhi: On the directions of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) is undertaking a demand survey in the 675 slum clusters in the national capital for estimating the total demand for housing the poor. The survey has covered 1.25 lakh households in roughly 270 slum clusters, who will be issued survey certificates by the Delhi Government. This is a stepping stone towards the task of rehabilitation of slum clusters under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana (MMAY), formerly known as the Delhi Slum & Jhuggi Jhopri Rehabilitation & Relocation Policy, 2015. The app-based digital survey is capturing information about households in slum clusters along with photographs of their personal identification certificates like Aadhaar card, Voter ID, electricity bill along with pictures of the family members. This will help to determine number of years the family has been residing in the slum clusters and also define the number of family members in each household. This will help in preventing unfair claims later on during the allotment process, a report stated. The Urban Development Minister Satyendar Jain said, "Delhi government will issue survey certificates to each family living in Jhuggi Clusters, which will have the location, jhuggi number along with photograph of the family. This survey will help the government in estimating the demand for construction of houses for the poor in the coming years." The survey is being undertaken by an external agency under the supervision of DUSIB officials. The App-based survey stores all the information on an online database along with geo coordinates which can be accessed and verified online by the officials, thus minimising cases of error and fraudulent data capture by surveyors. The primary focus of the MMAY-2015 is to rehabilitate the slum clusters within a radius of five kms of the existing slum so that there is a minimum interruption in the lives of people who are rehabilitated. The Delhi Government is also in the process of construction of 5,500 new housing units for the economically weaker sections at prime locations in the city.
