Since 1971 KMDA (the then CMDA) has taken up a no. of schemes to impart socio – economic benefit in the slum areas by providing basic infrastructural facilities to improve the quality of life and raise the health standard in the bustees situated within Kolkata Metropolitan Area. Recently, this sector has been renamed as Basic Services to the Urban Poor Sector.
Initially, Bustee Improvement Sector was formed to formulate infrastructural improvement and development programme for providing basic amenities to the underdeveloped slum areas. The then facilities were based on providing one sanitary latrine per hutment, potable water through tape @ 60 to 90 litres PC/Day. In addition drainage, pavement, street lighting and embankment protection of existing ponds were taken care of. Over the past three decades as the population growth went on increasing, the slums imposed more problem over the urban life in the Dominic city . During ’77 to ’85 an expenditure of little over Rs. 35 crores have been incurred in projects concerning slum upgradation. By now 2/3 of the slum dwellers have received the benifits of upgradation within the city limits. Whereas a huge population of slum remains uncovered within the boundaries of CMA. The philosophy of work remaining more or less in the same activity area. In the new perspective the sector will identify small towns and sub-urban areas where such basic services like water supply, sanitation, small street and pathways, basic low cost shelter and other infrastructural facilities would be implemented for providing a better healthy environment within the identified slums on BSUP SCHEMES under JNNURM.
