It is named after the ascetic Guru Gorakshnath, a saint that popularized “Hath Yoga” a form of yoga which concentrates on mastering natural power. The Gorakhnath Temple where he studied is a major tourist attraction in the city of Gorakhpur. Gorakhpur has 10 railway stations within its city limit that is Gorakhpur junction, Gorakhpur cantt, Domingarh, Kushmi, Nakaha jungle, Maniram, Sahjanwa, Unaula, Sihapar, and Jagatbela. The Gorakhshapitheshwara (Head Priest of Gorakhnath temple) is the cultural head of the city. The current M.P from Gorakhpur is Shri Adityanath Yogi the successor of Shri Avaidyanath, the head priest of Gorakhnath Mutt. Many promiment poets and politicians are from Gorakhpur. Gorakhpur is often said to be the center of Nath Sampradaya. 1.2 Demographics According to the census data of 2011, Gorakhpur has a total population of 6,73,446 of which 53% are males and 47% are females. It has a sex ratio of 944 females per 1000 males. 10.91% of the population is below the age of six. The city of Gorakhpur has an average literacy of 82.39% with male literacy at 87.76% and female literacy at 76.46%. In order to evaluate the service demand, evaluation of correct population figures is quite vital. The total population of the city is estimated at 11,36,353, tentatively, subject to verification. This estimate is based on the gross number of electorates registered by the Election Commission of India for 2014 General Election, which is 8,11,681 for the Gorakhpur constituencies {Gorakhpur Urban (4,22,488) and Rural (3,89,193)}. This number is much higher than the current population figures maintained by the NNG. A detailed discussion is presented in chapter 2 of CDP. 1.3 Availability of Minerals The district geology is primarily river born alluvium. Few mineral products are mined in Gorakhpur, with the most common being a nodular limestone conglomerate known as kankar, brick, and saltpetre. The last occurs principally in the south and south-east and is manufactured in a crude state in considerable quantities most of it being exported to markets of Bihar. In the Bansgaon tehsil kankar is most abundant and quarries are seen at many places. It is also extracted from 4/136 © CIDC (All rights reserved) CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN GORAKHPUR 2014 some places in Mahrajganj tehsil. Lime is obtained by burning kankar. Brick clay is abundant everywhere and bricks are made all over the district. The soil in the district is light sandy or dense clay of yellowish brown colour. The sand found in the rivers is medium to coarse grained, greyish white to brownish in colour and is suitable for construction 1.4 Administrative Setup Gorakhpur is the headquarters of Gorakhpur Division and District. Gorakhpur division comprises four districts, Gorakhpur, Deoria, Mahrajganj and Kushinagar. The total current population of the city is estimated to be 11,36,353. The literacy rate was 85.64 per cent. As a basic administration unit the district, has assumed a greater development and regulatory role consequent to emphasis on decentralized planning. It is divided into seven Tehsils (Revenue Sub- Divisions) presided over by a Sub Divisional Magistrate. Tehsils are further subdivided into nineteen Development Blocks, Blocks into 191 Nyay Panchayat and these Nyay Panchayats into 1233 Gram Sabhas which consists of 3327 Revenue villages. 1.5 Physical Infrastructure 1.5.1 Reliable Utility Services Reliable, adequate and high quality Utility services is critical in a Smart City. Whether it is electricity or telephony or ICT services, they need to be very reliable and adequate. 24 X 7 services are necessary. For example, a minimum of 100 Mbps of internet bandwidth and wide availability of Wi-Fi will be very important features. It should be the right of every citizen to get these facilities on demand. Similarly, municipal services such water supply, drainage, solid waste management need to be of very high quality and available 24 X 7. Telephone services should be available for every household. A Smart City cannot have only a few hours of water supply a day or electricity that goes off for several hours or the streets littered with garbage. The general appearance of the city has to be pleasing and clean. The main utilities that need to ensure are the following: 1.5.2 Water Supply Based on the estimated population of 11,36,353, the gross current requirement of water for the Gorakhpur City works out to 125 MLD and with an average growth rate of 6% per annum the demand is expected to be 149 MLD and the gap between the demand and supply therefore is expected to be 67 MLD by year 2017-18. The gross deficit expected is proposed to be completely removed in 3 years and therefore the additional facilities needed should be equal to the deficit value of 67 MLD. With a ball park figure of 16 crore per MLD, the gross value comes out to be Rs. 1077.84 Crore. The year wise investment plan for the same would be as follows Total Sector 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Investment (Crore) Potable Water Management 93.20 237.59 747.05 1077.84 5/136 © CIDC (All rights reserved) CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN GORAKHPUR 2014 It may be noted that the costs highlighted above are exclusive of the activities related to project planning and procurement which would be in addition to figures highlighted above, and would be determined while preparing the detailed project proposals. 1.5.3 Sewerage and Sanitation Based on the envisaged requirements, a 100 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is needed with underground pipe networks and open drains. It could be also possible to install and use packaged STP’s with an aggregate capacity of 100 MLD. In such event the effluent from the STP’s could be recycled for ground water recharge/irrigation purposes through open drains and thereby reducing the dependencies on to singular STP and underground drainage pipelines. It is being proposed to have a combination of two systems, central STP and local STP, to receive an optimize solution of this requirement. Proposed investment plan for sewerage and sanitation for next three year is as follow: Total Sector 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Investment (Crore) Sewerage System Management 144.06 395.63 885.05 1424.74 It may be noted that the costs highlighted above are exclusive of the activities related to project planning and procurement which would be in addition to figures highlighted above. 1.5.4 Storm Water Drainage& Rainwater Harvesting As per NNG 2011 reports, the gross length or road network in Gorakhpur City is 1315.85 km, out of which close to about 788.06 km is serviced, therefore the length of unserviced road is equal to 527.79 km. the drainage capacity of 788.06 km is questioned as 180 incidence of water logging is reported. It is assumed that the enhancement of the capacity of such length would also be needed to varying extent. A detailed site investigation would be required to establish actual requirement for the service. However to initiate the primary works, collective sum of Rupees 80 Crore is proposed to be invested for next three years as follow. Total Sector 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Investment (Crore) Strom water drainage 5.00 25.00 50.00 80.00 It may be noted that the costs highlighted above are exclusive of the activities related to project planning and procurement which would be in addition to figures highlighted above. 1.5.4 Solid Waste Management Based on the envisaged requirements, it is proposed to develop land fill area outside the city for waste disposal. It is also proposed to increase the capacity of the sanitary equipment for lifting 6/136 © CIDC (All rights reserved) CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN GORAKHPUR 2014 the solid waste as the existing ones are 10-20 years old vintage so their capacity for lifting the waste reduces and it affects the solid waste management system. The city needs new set of equipment for the effective and efficient management of municipal solid waste. A study for a Incineration Plant is also proposed in the view of growing need of the city. Proposed investment plan for solid waste management for next three year is as follow: Total Sector 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Investment (Crore) Solid Waste Management 34.70 40.44 54.30 129.44 It may be noted that the costs highlighted above are exclusive of the activities related to project planning and procurement which would be in addition to figures highlighted above 1.5.6 Road and Transport As per the development needs articulated by prominent city citizens discussed in Chapter 2, it is proposed to construct a ring road connecting various areas of the city with the national highways with over bridges.
