Procurement of Satellite Imagery & Base Map Preparation• Procurement of Cartosat II 1 Metre Resolution Images from Indian Space

Research Organisation (ISRO)/National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) for City/Urban Agglomeration, Zones/Grids and Slum Locations; Geo-referencing & Preparation of Base Maps (1:5000 scale) indicating Slums and their Internal and External Infrastructure Connectivities

Operationalising Rajiv Awas Yojana – Preparatory Tasks …contd.


Slum Survey & Development of Slum MIS• Establish Slum-free City Cells

Formation of Slum Survey Teams & Supervisory Teams, Conduct Training Programmes involving Municipal Administration/Statistics Departments, Census/NSSO/CSO Trainers

• Development of Slum/Zone/City/Agglomeration Maps using GIS Tools : (i) Cartosat II imagery secured from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)/National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC)/ Other Sources

(ii) Ground truthing and geo-spatial data measurement, collection and collation of data and superimposing the same on the Satellite Images

GIS-enabled Slum Information System• Integration of Slum MIS with GIS Maps to enable the preparation of a

dynamic GIS-enabled Slum Information System - Slum-wise, Zone-wise and for City; Getting an Integrated Picture based on Spatial and Socio-economic analysis of Data



Choice of Land Tenure/Development Model• Putting in place Community Organisation and community engagement

mechanisms – may be led by a Lead NGO for City/Zone

Status updateStatus update• First installment of funds released to 20 states for

preparatory activities

• States in the process of setting up state and city level nodal officers and technical cells.

• Slum Surveys : commenced in many states

• Slum MIS: The MIS software has been developed by CGG and it is under the pilot testing phase. Some ULBs have started entering the data into the software for the purpose.

Status Update -Guidelines for Preparation of Slum Free City plans:
