PROJECTS, PROGRAMMES & TASKS: - ==
Development of Revenue Laws and Jurisprudence: -
Revenue Judicial Work:
Judgements were delivered in 3309 cases, a record achievement as I heard them in just 393 court days in which some cases were pending since 1971-72. This benefited the public at large, especially poor, downtrodden and female litigants. In addition to this by pronouncing one single verdict, ensured the early and final disposal of more than 3000 cases across the State. This important verdict prevented the litigants from undue litigation and harassment. The rate of disposal of cases of my Court was always more than 225%.
Development of Revenue Jurisprudence:
Of the cases disposed in Single Bench, 185 cases were reported in all Revenue Law Journals as Landmark Judgements. In addition to the above achievements, delivered 09 Judgments on behalf of the Division Bench of the Board of Revenue of which 02 judgements were reported in all Revenue Law Journals as Landmark Judgements and 03 Judgments on behalf of the Full Bench of the Board of Revenue of which 02 judgements were reported in all Revenue Law Journals as Landmark Judgements. In all 189 cases were reported in all Revenue Law Journals as Landmark Judgements, on intricate legal issues thereby laying down legal principles and settling many legal issues permanently.
Development of Court Management System for the Board of Revenue, UP:
Court Cases Management System and Computerization of Court records & Judgements were modernised under my supervision for greater efficiency and transparency in the system. Developed a computerized system "Revenue Court Case Management System" to effectively monitor and expedite the disposal of pending cases. All details of these cases have been entered in the computer, which has been made online. As a result of the abovementioned System, Computerized Cause List could be generated for every court enlisting oldest cases first for their early disposal. Cause List, Misil-Band register and order sheets are being generated with the help of the Revenue Court Case Management System. A computerized receipt to the Revisionist/ Appellant/Applicant filing a new case is also being issued and it conforms the filing of his case and other details for which the litigant does have to depend on the lawyers, their clerks or the lower clerical staff.
Execution of Traffic & Transportation Projects and Tasks: -
Decongestion of Charbagh Traffic:
As CEO of UPSRTC, the long pending issues of shifting Charbagh inter-state bus station to new Alambagh inter-state bus station was executed meticulously. This issue was pending since 1946. The new Alambagh bus station, which was till then an unused infrastructure is now being fully utilised. This move has totally removed the congestion and traffic Jam at Charbagh Railway Station and Bus Station area and brought lot of accolades from public. To avoid any inconvenience to bus-passengers due to shifting of bus stand; started a shuttle service between Charbagh-Alambagh every 15 minutes. The inter-city bus establishment, which was literally on road, is now at Charbagh bus station. This has not only utilized the Charbagh bus station but also improved operational efficiency and control.
Take-over of 39 Nationalized State Routes in the Western region of the State:
As CEO of UPSRTC, I directly executed the takeover of 39 Nationalized State routes in the western region of the State by online supervision and coordination, by deployment of branch heads with detailed Action Plans and by allotting specific targets. To complete the above task in a time bound manner a very high degree of coordination with the concerned District Magistrates and Divisional Commissioners was achieved in a very short span and in a swift manner. Print and electronic media’s continuous coverage helped in gaining appreciation and reviving public faith in the organised transport system. This issue was pending since 1959.
Establishing Central City Bus Terminal (CCBT):
As CEO of UPSRTC, the vacated Charbagh Bus Station premises was declared as CCBT for optimum utilization of resources, to enhance facilities to city passengers, better control on operations, and avoiding any attempt of misuse or encroachment.
Financial Achievements:
An increased cash profit of Rs 123.51 Crores is achieved during June-September, 2007. The accomplishment of Rs. 65.48 Crores net profit was made during June-September, 2007. Increase in occupancy and improved bus productivity led to this achievement. Rs. 71.85 Crores was paid as Additional tax to the Government in June-September, 2007 as against Rs.44.46 Crore in June-September, 2006; an increase of approximately 60%. Ensured bus-utilization of 325 kms/bus/day a gain of 09 points over previous period. 94% buses kept on-road during the period of June-September, 2007 for better utilization of buses.
Grievance Redressal System:
Suitable administrative structure for grievance redressal developed for better dealing of grievances. Transparent & honest working created harmony & mutual trust with the trade unions, which enabled everyone to contribute to the best of his capacity & capability. This has increased the productivity of each and every worker. No work disruption took place during this period.
Execution of New & Renewable Energy Projects & Programmes: -
Renewable energy power projects - Grid:
As Secretary, Non-conventional Energy and Director NEDA, submitted proposals to the tune of 664 MW to the GoI, out of which projects of 310 MW capacities were sanctioned and installed. A private entrepreneur was motivated to set up a biomass power project to produce 15 MW power from rice husk. The assistance was provided in obtaining relevant clearances from the government and signing of a power purchase agreement with U.P. Power Corporation Limited. Co-generation projects were also promoted in paper mills for producing electricity, which were based on biomass other than baggasse. Submitted Proposals for 45 MW to GoI, out of which projects of 16.5 MW were installed. Activities were also initiated to obtain power from industrial waste and the efforts in this direction resulted in developing projects of 2 MW.
Renewable power projects - Non-grid:
As Secretary, Non-conventional Energy and Director NEDA, in non-grid category the technology promoted was gasification technology and the raw materials used were mainly rice husk and waste wood chips. Submitted projects to the tune of 2.37 MW to GoI for their approval, out of which 1.2 MW capacities was installed for power generation. In thermal mode, projects equivalent to 12.79 MW thermal were submitted to GoI and 5.84 MW capacity thermal projects were installed in Bakeries and Snack manufacturing units. The projects were small projects and were for captive power generation in small industrial units or for thermal energy generation.
Efforts for renewable energy power development:
Under clean technology initiative (CTI) of USAID, a major programme was launched for capacity building and to create awareness about green power in the industrial scenario of the state. Three large business meetings were conducted with the industrialists and entrepreneurs. The first was at Meerut, second was at Lucknow and the third was as Balrampur. In these business meets, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, technology providers and financial institutions were invited for interaction. Large number of industrialists and entrepreneurs attended these programmes. One business meet was organised at Varanasi, which was devoted for gasifier systems for producing electrical energy as well as thermal energy, utilizing the upcoming gasification technology.
Decentralized systems and devices:
Renewable energy systems such as solar water heaters are used for meeting the supplementary energy requirement in domestic sector and commercial sector. Business meets in major cities of the state were conducted to promote the usage of solar water heaters. A capacity of 1,18,925 lpd was created in the state to save the electrical energy, which would have been otherwise used for heating water.
To provide street lighting in the villages were no such facility is provided by the UPPCL, Solar street lighting systems have been installed. Approx. 390 villages were benefited under this programme by installing 3982 solar streetlights.
Structural Reforms in Housing and Urban Planning Sector : Through Major Policy Initiatives & Legal Interventions:-
Development of New Townships through Private Investment:
I formulated the following two policies to promote private investment in housing and infrastructure through development of new townships: -
(i) Development of Hi-tech Townships with a minimum area of 1500 acres and minimum investment of Rs. 750 crores.
(ii) Land assembly and infrastructure development for housing schemes (Integrated Townships ranging from minimum 25 acres to maximum 500 acres) through private investment.
Both these policies are under implementation in major cities of the state. 10 Hi-tech Township projects were approved with an expected investment potential of about Rs. 20,000 crores, generation of employment opportunities for about 4 lac persons and a housing stock of about 2.50 lac dwelling units during the 5 years’ project period. These policies would also support and enable private investment in other sectors of the state economy.
Blue-Print for Urban Infrastructure Development:
As Executive Director Awas Bandhu, I formulated and executed, the "Blue Print for Urban Infrastructure Development" in the year 2000-01 to ensure integrated development of urban infrastructure in the major cities of the state. The projects identified under the ‘Blue-Print’ comprise completion of gaps and provision and augmentation of infrastructure services like water supply, drainage, sewerage, electricity, and roads, etc. The unique feature of this Programme is the convergence and dove-tailing of resources of various departments connected with housing and urban development viz., Housing, Urban Development, Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation, Public Works Department, Railways, etc.
Simplified Model Building Bye-laws:
A simplified Model Building Code known as "Building Construction and Development Bye-laws, 2000" was prepared to create an enabling regulatory regime where all sections of the society could secure affordable housing. It prescribes simplified procedure for obtaining development and building permits including deemed approval and provides for innovative concepts such as Purchasable FAR and Compensatory FAR. The new Building Bye-laws were enforced in all the Development Authorities and the Housing and Development Board from October, 2000.
Model Zoning Regulations:
Model Zoning Regulations were framed to enhance the functionality of the Master Plans, which provide for greater environmental compatibility between places of work, living and recreation. The new regulations are user-friendly, more flexible, encouraging development both physical and economic, ensuring environmental protection, and increasing the functional efficiency of urban settlements. These regulations were enforced in the Development Authorities and Regulated Areas in the year 2002.
Earthquake Resistant Technologies:
To regulate the construction activity from structural safety angle in the public as well as private sector, the recommendatory provisions of standards and codes relating to earthquake resistant technologies as provided in the ISI Code and National Building Code, were made mandatory in the design and construction of three-storied buildings/buildings above 12 m. height and all infrastructure related buildings with a covered area of 500 Sq.m. and above in the urban areas of the State.
Rainwater Harvesting:
To arrest ground water decline and improve ground water levels, provision of rooftop rainwater harvesting was made mandatory in all buildings having a plot area of 300 Sq.m. and above. Besides, conservation of ponds, lakes and reservoirs in the urban areas is also mandatory at different levels of planning viz., Master Plans, Zonal Development Plans and Layout Plans. Accordingly, provisions were made in the Building Bye-laws so that adoption of appropriate rainwater harvesting techniques is complied with at the time of plan approval.
Regularisation of Unauthorized Colonies:
Problem of unauthorized colonies has become more severe on account of lack of availability of low income housing in adequate numbers at affordable prices in the major cities of the State. In order to tackle the problem of unauthorized colonies, a policy was framed to regularize unauthorized colonies and provide basic infrastructure services like roads, drainage, sanitation and electricity, etc. as per paying capacity of the beneficiaries. Directions were issued to all the Development Authorities to carry out regularisation of unauthorised colonies in accordance with the guidelines prepared by the Housing and Urban Planning Department.
Citizen Charter:
Citizen Charter was framed for the Development Authorities and the Housing and Development Board, which establish clearly enforceable norms to ensure an efficient housing, and related infrastructure delivery system. Directions were issued to implement the citizen charter in its true letter and spirit. It was also provided that an independent agency will be deployed or a Citizen Forum be constituted in every Development Authority for redressal of public grievances.
Integrated Application Software Package (IASP):
An Integrated Application Software Package (IASP) was developed by the Housing and Urban Planning Department through M/s Birla Soft Ltd. The IASP will connect all the housing authorities with 'Single Digital Umbrella' and bring about a qualitative change in their working. Recording, processing, storage, retrieval and management of information for the housing operations of Development Authorities and Housing and Development Board would become simpler and speedy. The working system of the various authorities would improve drastically and ensure transparency in information flow to the public. After complete implementation of the IASP, the public can access on-line the details of payment related to a property, availability and cost of plots/houses in any scheme, status of building permit applications, refund of money, etc.
Finance & Accounts Manual:
As Special Secretary, Housing & Urban Planning and Executive Director Awas Bandhu, "Uttar Pradesh Development Authorities’ Finance & Accounts Manual, 2002" was conceived, designed and developed in order to streamline the financial management of the Development Authorities and to plug the loopholes and lay a futuristic, comprehensive and adaptable approach towards Finance and Accounts Management of the state.
After the Notification of the aforesaid Manual in 2002, some major amendments were made by the Indian Parliament in the Finance and Income Tax laws, which brought the Development Authorities within its ambit. I re-examined and revised the aforementioned "Manual, 2002" with the help of financial experts to bring it in tune with the requirements and it was notified as "Uttar Pradesh Development Authorities Finance & Accounts Manual, 2004.
In the era of E-Governance the Authorities will be at ease to trigger-off total computerization of efficient and transparent functioning, subsequent to the implementation of this Manual. It will also assist in the effective transmission of data between the Development Authorities and the Government.
Human Resource Development through Implementation of Education and Literacy Drives & Programmes: -
Total Literacy Project, Agra: I implemented the project as the Chief Project Coordinator from beginning to the end of the implementation phase. Agra was the first district to be declared as a Total Literate district of Uttar Pradesh. The Monitoring and Evaluation Procedures, Forms & Reports, on necessary parameters, for 'Qualitative Implementation' of the Project were developed by me and the same were accepted as 'Good, Scientific & Meticulous' and it was circulated by the National Literacy Mission to all Project districts. The Total Literacy Project of Agra also got the distinction of being classified as ‘Agra Model’.
Post Literacy Project, Agra:
I formulated and initiated the Execution of the 'Post Literacy Project' for Agra district after we successfully completed the 'Total Literacy Project'. I formulated and presented the project before the National Literacy Mission, Govt. of India that was approved as formulated & presented and immediately the 'Project' was sanctioned. I carried out the first year of implementation.
Total Literacy Project, Faizabad:
I took over the execution of the project as the Chief Project Co-ordinator from the middle of the implementation phase. I redefined the Action Plan for Implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation on the basis of my ‘Agra Experience'.
