Kathputli Colony. Under the Kalkaji Extension Project, in-situ Slum Rehabilitation of
three slum clusters namely Bhoomiheen Camp, Navjeevan camp and Jawahar camp

• Sangharsh Nagar Rehabilitation Project was built under the state government‟s Slum
Rehabilitation Scheme (SRS).

• The main objective of this design project was to provide a habitable housing along with
other community and commercial facilities to the slum dwellers of Sanjay Gandhi National
Park.

• The site, a 34 hectares land area, in Chandivili, is situated 10kms to the south of Sanjay
Gandhi National Park. It has a very central location in the city of Mumbai. Previously used as
a quarrying zone, had large craters in the land before construction.
 • The location of Chandivili is such, that though it is situated at a very central position, still it is
isolated from the mass transport systems especially the two main railway lines. - This site
Chandivili, is surrounded by one of the most high-end housing projects of Mumbai, such as
Hiranandani Gardens etc. which are all situated in the close by Powai area. This, on one hand
can be a positive factor, as it creates employment for the people in Sangharsh Nagar. But, on
the other hand, it would not be the best solution when it comes to facilities such as markets.

Proposed amenities to be provided:

Social Infrastructure

• Primary schools, secondary schools, high schools, community halls, women‟s welfare
centres/crèches, balwaris, society offices and religious institutions were proposed to be
built. It is a necessary component of a rehabilitation project. Initiate private participation
and investment in social amenities. Provide opportunity for government – community –
private enterprises partnership.

Open spaces

• Central maidan, neighborhood parks and courts were proposed. Open spaces considered as
an important infrastructure for better social and community life. The open spaces were
closely related to the buildings and activities.

Commercial

• Shops, banks, commercial centres, post office, industrial estates and cinemas were proposed
in the design.
Cluster level planning:
Each cluster would consist of 550 houses and 16 units for the common
facilities, such as, balwaris, welfare centres, society offices and crèches. There
would be a central court which would provide light and ventilation. The
common units would be around this court. Entrance to each building would
have to have a sitting area
Sector level planning:
Three clusters together would make a sector (Wadi). Each sector would have
its own market place with shops, post office, banks and other commercial
facilities. The primary school along with its playground would attempt to
relieve the crowd which gathers at the market place.
It was proposed to have walkways shaded by pergolas between clusters so as
to create a sense of unity between the dwellers.
Sub-Urban level planning:
Along with designing individual dwelling units for the people he even provided
a list of amenities needed by the EWS to uplift their condition.
• The people residing in this area mainly consist of
the skilled and unskilled laborers who are the daily wage earners. For these sections, there is
no specific travelling or conveyance issues, as their place of work is not fixed. But, there even
is a chunk of the population who had their places of work around the National Park. These
sections spend around more than Rs.500 a month as travelling charges. The markets
designed by the architect, never came up. So the residents staying on the ground floor
opened up shops in their houses. As they converted a part of the living space into the shops,
many of them are dissatisfied with the size of the tenements.

• From the table it is seen that in most of the cases the monthly family income is within
Rs.5000. Thus, it is evident that this scheme truly caters to the Economically Weaker
Sections.

 The Sangharsh Nagar project seems more successful at the household level than at a
neighborhood level. The main reason for this can be stated as the basic services and
amenities, which are a very integral part of any housing project, are not provided to a
satisfactory level. Table 18. Present condition of the common amenities in Sangharsh Nagar
From the above table it is evident that there is a high level of uncoordinated development in
Sangharsh Nagar. The reason being the fact that as it is a SRA project, it does not come
under the BMC jurisdiction. The developer, Sumer Corporation is not interested in working
for the betterment of the people but has its own profit gaining motives.
