Report of the Steering Committee on Urban Development for Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012)
Draft REPORT OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2007-2012) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Planning Commission New Delhi 1 Draft REPORT OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2007-2012) CHAPTER 1 IINTRODUCTION Urbanization is an indicator of economic development. Urban agglomerations afford economies of scale in both manufacturing and services activities and also in provision of infrastructure services. Urbanization should be seen as a positive factor for overall development. This is manifested in the increasing contribution of urban sector to the national economy. For instance, in 1950-51, the contribution of urban sector to India’s GDP was only 29%, which increased to 47% in 1980-81 and presently it is contributing 62%-63% and is likely to be 75% by 2021. 1.1 National and urban scenario and the global context India’s total population increased about 2.8 times between 1951 and 2001, but the urban population rose about 4.6 times during the same period. The decadal growth rate in urban population has been more than 30% during 1971-2001. Index of urban population has been continuously growing up with an increasing trend since 1951. There has been a remarkable increase in urban population during 1991-2001, which can be attributed to the economic reforms initiated in the year 1991. Notwithstanding, the difference in definitions of constituents of urban areas in various countries, the degree of urbanization in India is amongst the lowest in the world. As per United Nations estimates, 47 per cent of total population of the world lived in urban areas in 2000. -

Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 16 x 2, April - June 2019 ISSN : 0537 - 9679 Editorial This issue contains six papers. The first paper is on “Affordable Housing Provision in the Context of Kolkata Metropolitan Area’’, and is authored by Joy Karmakar who highlights Government of India’s mission of affordable housing for all citizens by 2022. He argues that the mission has become a major talking point for the people including policy makers to private developers to scholars at different levels. The idea of affordability and affordable housing has been defined by various organizations over the years but no unanimous definition has emerged. The need for affordable housing in the urban area is not new to India and especially mega cities like Kolkata. The paper revisits and assesses the affordable housing provision in Kolkata Metropolitan Area and how the idea of affordable housing provision has evolved over the years. It becomes clear from the analysis that the role of the state in providing affordable housing to urban poor has not only been reduced but shifted to the middle class. The second paper titled “Property Tax: Role of Technology in Process Improvement, Transparency and Revenue Enhancement’’ is written by Dinesh Ahlawat, Saurav Sen and Akshat Jain, discusses property tax reforms with a focus on current assessment, collection and record keeping of property tax data in the ULBs and how these issues can be resolved with the adoption of streamlined processes and use of technology. The author explains that property tax is evaluated differently for different properties. Presently, the traditional methods for tax assessment are causing delays in the process, a large number of unassessed properties remain, and several properties are not assessed correctly due to dependency on manual efforts. -

Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada India: Treatment of Dalits by society and authorities; availability of state protection (2016- January 2020) 1. Overview According to sources, the term Dalit means "'broken'" or "'oppressed'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). Sources indicate that this group was formerly referred to as "'untouchables'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). They are referred to officially as "Scheduled Castes" (India 13 July 2006, 1; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). The Indian National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) identified that Scheduled Castes are communities that "were suffering from extreme social, educational and economic backwardness arising out of [the] age-old practice of untouchability" (India 13 July 2006, 1). The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) [1] indicates that the list of groups officially recognized as Scheduled Castes, which can be modified by the Parliament, varies from one state to another, and can even vary among districts within a state (CHRI 2018, 15). According to the 2011 Census of India [the most recent census (World Population Review [2019])], the Scheduled Castes represent 16.6 percent of the total Indian population, or 201,378,086 persons, of which 76.4 percent are in rural areas (India 2011). The census further indicates that the Scheduled Castes constitute 18.5 percent of the total rural population, and 12.6 percent of the total urban population in India (India 2011). -

THE LANGUAGES of MANIPUR: a CASE STUDY of the KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar
Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 34.1 — April 2011 THE LANGUAGES OF MANIPUR: A CASE STUDY OF THE KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar Abstract: Manipur is primarily the home of various speakers of Tibeto-Burman languages. Aside from the Tibeto-Burman speakers, there are substantial numbers of Indo-Aryan and Dravidian speakers in different parts of the state who have come here either as traders or as workers. Keeping in view the lack of proper information on the languages of Manipur, this paper presents a brief outline of the languages spoken in the state of Manipur in general and Kuki-Chin languages in particular. The social relationships which different linguistic groups enter into with one another are often political in nature and are seldom based on genetic relationship. Thus, Manipur presents an intriguing area of research in that a researcher can end up making wrong conclusions about the relationships among the various linguistic groups, unless one thoroughly understands which groups of languages are genetically related and distinct from other social or political groupings. To dispel such misconstrued notions which can at times mislead researchers in the study of the languages, this paper provides an insight into the factors linguists must take into consideration before working in Manipur. The data on Kuki-Chin languages are primarily based on my own information as a resident of Churachandpur district, which is further supported by field work conducted in Churachandpur district during the period of 2003-2005 while I was working for the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, as a research investigator.
