The above table shows that the Revised Estimates of

revenue income have increased by `407.09 crore as compared

to the Budget Estimates of 2013-14. In the Budget Estimates

2013-14 income of `3362.41 crore was estimated from

Development Plan department. In the Revised Estimates for

2013-14 it is revised to `4743.95 crore showing an increase of

`1381.54 crore as compared to Budget Estimates 2013-14.



This is mainly due to the slightly higher than the anticipated

realization of revenue income from the new source of premium

against fungible FSI. However, the gross income from octroi

estimated at `7840 crore in the Budget Estimates of 2013-14

has been revised to `7300 crore. Thus, as compared to the

Budget Estimates 2013-14, the income from octroi is likely to

be decreased by `540 crore while in the Revised Estimates the

gross income from the source of Property Tax is estimated

equal to Budget Estimates of 2013-14.

In the year 2013-14, the Revised Estimate of Revenue

Expenditure is `16858.84 crore as against Budget Estimates

of `16450.91 crore showing increase of `407.93crore. While

revising the estimates of Revenue Expenditure of 2013-14,

contribution to Capital Fund from Revenue Account is

proposed to be increased to `1718 crore from `1518 crore in

B.E. 2013-14. Similarly, the provision for Infrastructure

Development Fund is proposed for increase from `1330 crore

to `2040 crore. Moreover, in the Revised Estimates 2013-14,

it is proposed to give contribution of `1000 crore to Assets

Replacement Fund.

Likewise, Revised Capital Expenditure is estimated at

`4289.66 crore as against Budget Estimates of `6143.64 crore.

In the B.E. 2013-14, the total Capital Receipt was estimated to

`6214.65 crore. This included internal loan of `2000 crore,



withdrawal from Special Fund of `1669.10 crore and

`200 crore from Central Govt. for BRIMSTOWAD Project,

contribution of `1518 crore from Revenue Account and other

receipt of `827.55 crore. As per Revised Estimates 2013-14,

the Capital Receipts are estimated to `4352.24 crore in which

no amount of internal loan is proposed. It comprises

withdrawal from Special Funds to the tune of `1684.05 crore,

contribution of `1718 crore from Revenue Account and other

receipts of `950.19 crore. Due to revision in Capital

Expenditure, there is no need to raise internal loan of

`2000 crore as envisaged in the B.E. 2013-14.

The estimated revenue for 2014-15 at `17958.82 crore

exceeds the estimated revenue expenditure by `1095.67 crore.

Hence, funds of `1094.50 crore are proposed to be transferred

to the Capital Account.

The estimated Capital Expenditure for the year 2014-15

is `8159.43 crore. It is estimated that internal loan of `2000

crore will have to be raised to meet this Capital Expenditure.

For estimation details of various sources of income

vis-a-vis Budget Estimates of revenue income under Revised

Estimates for 2013-14 and the Budget Estimates for 2014-15,

I refer to Table 2 which gives the details of various sources of

income with comparative position of Budget Estimates for

2012-13.

GOVERNANCE ISSUES

Improved Procurement Procedure in MCGM

In my statement, while submitting the Budget Estimates

of 2013-14, I had discussed the Road Map for improved

procurement procedure. With a view to restoring the

credibility of procurement process and to achieve the

principles of public procurement such as ensuring efficiency,

economy and transparency, providing fair and equitable

treatment to bidders, promoting competition, preventing

corrupt practices and reasonableness of price with quality, the

MCGM has decided to formulate improved procurement

procedure, in consonance with the principles contained in the

Draft Public Procurement Bill 2012 and the tool kit developed

by World Bank and Transparency International. Accordingly,

a Procurement Tab is developed on MCGM portal for

suggestions/feedback on procurement from general public/

organizations. Procurement Redressal Committee has been

established under the chairmanship of a Retired High Court

Judge for redressal of grievances. Integrity Pact has been

introduced to prevent corrupt practices. Technical Advisory

Committees are formed. Best Price/No Cartelization Affidavit

has been introduced and Procurement Manual is prepared for

the support and guidance of various departments of MCGM



for uniform, systematic, efficient procurement of goods,

services and works.

Operation of CFCs for 12 hours in a day including

Sundays and Holidays

Continuing MCGMs efforts to provide optimum level

of services to the citizens of Mumbai, it is proposed to provide

services at CFC for 12 hours in a day (8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.)

including all Saturdays and Sundays excluding only 10 days of

specified holidays in a year. The pilot project is started from

1st February, 2014 in G/N, H/E & L ward. After successful

implementation of this project in these wards, same will be

replicated in all remaining municipal wards on or before

1st April, 2014.

Reforms in the Area Performance Management

I am pleased to state that the trainings for capacity

building and to improve communication and behavioral skills

of staff of several departments has commenced at renowned

institutions like IIT Mumbai, NEERI, All India Institute of

Local Self Government, The Institute of Chartered Accountant

of India, Yeshwantrao Chavan Administrative Institute - Pune,

NIFM Faridabad etc.

A DPR has been submitted to Central Government with

a view to availing grant towards training expenses for a period



of four years. Estimated cost is `112.50 crore. A budget

provision of `30.38 crore has been made in the Budget

Estimates 2014-15 for capacity building.

Providing / Taking over the infrastructure facility like

Water Supply, Sewerage, Storm Water Drains, Roads

and Street Lights in MHADA colonies and colonies on

public lands.

Infrastructure facility like Water Supply, Sewerage,

Storm Water Drains, Roads and Street Lights in MHADA

colonies and colonies on public land are maintained by

respective authorities. The residents complain about inadequate

facilities and also improper maintenance of the facilities leading

to unhygienic conditions. It is proposed to take over such

facilities in these colonies by MCGM to provide improved

services and draft policy therefor will be framed.

Administrative Reforms

Continuing our efforts to deepen use of IT through SAP

backbone, comprehensive use of Project systems (PS) module

and Material Management (MM) module is initiated.

Integration of Vigilance Departments workflow in SAP-PS

system (for works carried out at wards) as well as the MM

module, for the purchase of materials including medicine

supply etc. through Central Purchase Department and other

departments, is achieved.



A new system of preparing Sanction Master in PS

Module System, before issuing work order/purchase order, has

been developed.

Administration has also initiated the bill tracking system

in SAP that can be used by vendors to track the status of their

bill payments. Online verification by vendors will be possible

in the next two months. Presently, a tracker of notification is

under implementation. This will pave the way for a more

efficient payment system in MCGM.

Improvement in the system of settlement of

claim due to retirement

To streamline undue delay in certain cases in settlement

of dues payable to ex-employees and/or their legal heirs, the

appointed consultants have studied MCGM Pension Rules and

existing procedure of settlement of claim and have submitted

their report. Revisions in the procedure of claim settlement

will be completed in the next three months.

Dues from State Government

Municipal administration is vigorously pursuing

recoveries of outstanding dues from different departments of

the State Govt. Total outstanding dues from the various

departments of the State Govt. amounts to `2531.02 crore on

account of Grant-in-aid, Property Tax, Water & Sewerage



Charges, MCGMs share in various taxes collected by the State

Govt., etc., by the end of November, 2013. This includes an

amount of `1685.02 crore on account of grant-in-aid from

Education department of the State Govt.

On the other hand, an amount of `564.36 crore is payable

to the State Govt. by the MCGM. Five officers of the MCGM

have been appointed as Nodal Officers for reconciliation and

regular follow up of the outstanding dues with the respective

departments in the State Govt. The State Govt. has formed a

committee of Secretaries of UD 2, Finance and the concerned

departments, to deliberate with the MCGM officials on

outstanding dues and its payment to MCGM.

I hope this issue will be finalized on priority by the State

Govt. and MCGM would be able to recover its long outstanding

dues in the near future.

The following provisions in Revenue Income have been

proposed in B.E. 2014-15 in respect of Education related dues

from State Government :-

1. Primary Education, Secondary Education, Road Grant, Entertainment

Tax, Non-agricultural Assessment Tax

and other misc. grants.

`322.88 crore 2. Primary Education Grant from Govt. `54.86 crore 3. Secondary Education Grant from

State Govt. `117.53 crore



Structural audit and structural repair and

reconstruction of municipal properties

The unfortunate incident of Babu Genu Mandai collapse

has highlighted the urgency of a systematic structural audit of

municipal properties. An amendment in MMC Act, 1888

incorporating Section 353B directs that buildings in existence

for 30 years and more shall necessarily be structurally audited.

Accordingly all the user departments have been instructed to

carry out structural audit of all municipal buildings which are

more than 30 years old and in exceptional cases, even buildings

which are less than 30 years old, but which on a visual

inspection need a structural audit. Accordingly, the user

departments have already taken up the structural auditing of

municipal properties. These Structural Audit reports will be

scrutinized by an expert committee to decide on a techno-

financial action plan wherein evacuation/propping/demolition/

structural repair/reconstruction of the structures will be decided.

I have proposed a substantial provision of `519.40 crore

under Budget A and `22.10 crore under Budget G in B.E.

2014-15 for project management and consultancy charges for

heritage structures and other municipal properties, their

structural repairs, and for their demolition and reconstruction as

per recommendation in the audit report.



Unified schedule of rates

Every department in MCGM had its own Schedule of

Rates, which lacked linkage with the Fair Market Schedule or

Schedule of Rates of other departments resulting into extra

items and fair rates. A new Unified Schedule of Rates has now

been prepared after conducting a thorough factual market

research and studying schedules of rates of Govt. bodies like

CPWD and PWD. This Unified Schedule of Rates has been

implemented from 16.09.2013 and all the new tenders

thereafter are being invited on the basis of the Unified Schedule

of Rates.

A new Dynamic Rate System (DRS), based on a data

base of quantities and bidding prices of awarded contracts, is

also planned for future. This DRS will help apply necessary

corrections to the Unified Schedule of Rates at specified

intervals. MCGM will now be in a position to revise the

Unified Schedule of Rates every year.

Financial assistance to BEST undertaking

Hike in bus fares proposed by BEST undertaking, while

submitting the Budget Estimates C for the year 2014-15 to

BEST Committee, has not been approved by Standing

Committee and Corporation. While submitting the Budget

Estimates C of BEST undertaking for the year 2014-15 to the



Corporation, the Standing Committee, for the first time in

108 years, has recommended to make provisions in the

Municipal Budget for giving financial assistance to BEST with

a view to recovering the loss to some extent incurred by the

BEST and to provide relief to BEST administration.

With reference to these recommendations and with the

approval of the Corporation under Resolution No.1097 dated

17.03.2011, a special fund viz. Dedicated Urban Transport

Fund has been created and after its creation, a separate budget

head Contribution to Dedicated Urban Transport Fund for

Mumbai has also been created for giving contribution to this

fund. To enable financial assistance to BEST undertaking, it is

proposed to give a portion of income expected in the year

2014-15 from various sources pertaining to transport and traffic

as contribution to this fund. Accordingly, a portion of actual

income of 2014-15 from the sources such as income from Pay

and Park Scheme, income from the advertisement hoardings on

roads as well as on street light poles, income from way leave

charges from various utility companies, income from premium

received from public parking under Section 33(24), or an

amount of `100 crore whichever is less will be diverted to this

fund as a contribution for BEST. This arrangement for



grant-in-aid to BEST will however be restricted for the year

2014-15 only.

Advance for Budget G

It is proposed to give an advance of `500 crore to Budget

G on the same terms and conditions of advance given to

BEST Undertaking for implementing its capital works projects.

Creation of Slum Improvement Cell in MCGM

Inclusive development is a mandated public policy focus.

Access to urban services by the people living in informal

settlements is important for inclusive development. The basic

amenities provided in slums in Mumbai need to be upgraded to

ensure hygienic conditions in slum colonies.

A Slum Improvement Cell has been created under control

of D.M.C.(C.R.A.). The Cell will deal with basic infrastructure

and amenities in slums on MCGM, Govt. of India, Govt. of

Maharashtra, MHADA or private lands. The Cell will assist

administration to take strategic decisions in relation to the

obligations associated with Clause 5A of The Maharashtra

Slum Areas Act, 1971 for providing basic amenities in slums.

Integrated Slum Development Programme

It has been decided to implement an Integrated Slum

Development Programme (ISDP) to fill the infrastructure gap

for providing the necessary basic amenities to slum residents.

Under this programme, plane table surveys of the entire slums



will be carried out and the deficiencies in basic amenities will

be mapped and a road map for integrated development of slums

will be drawn. This Integrated Slum Development Programme

will be implemented in a phased manner. Zonal D.M.Cs have

been directed to implement a master plan for ISDP in their

respective wards. Required funds will be made available only to

those slums for which the exercise of surveys with probable

phasewise fund requirement for the works to be carried out

during the year 2014-15 is done.

A specific budget provision of `50 crore has been

proposed in B.E. 2014-15. A separate provision of `2.40 crore

has been proposed for appointment of Architects/Consultants to

prepare the Master Plan.

Service Level Bench Marking (SLB)

An exercise of assessment of present Service Level

Bench Marks of MCGM has now been completed by All India

Institute of Local Self Government and their report is under

scrutiny.

MCGM has appointed a consultant that will help

MCGM strengthen the process of data collection and

subsequent performance monitoring for the four SLB services.

This institutionalization is critical to the success of

benchmarking initiative and providing a strong platform for

performance improvement and infrastructure planning.



Creation of a new Department of Business Development

Keeping in view the fact that Mumbai is the financial

capital and business hub of India, it is proposed to create a new

department in MCGM, namely Department of Business

Development. This department will target the index of Ease of

doing Business.

It will deal with single window clearances, attracting new

green field investments into Mumbai in sun rise sectors and

development of connectivity & infrastructure in Central

Business Districts located in Mumbai.

Establishing Safety Department in MCGM

To meet the objective of National Safety Policy, 2009

and to implement Safety Rules prescribed under Maharashtra

Factory Rules, 1963 at all installations of MCGM covered

under Factory Act, 1948, it is incumbent to create an

independent desk to consolidate the safety activities of various

departments as well as to fix the responsibility and functioning

and outcome of safety work. The norms and measures

adopted in other institutions, Govt., Semi-Govt. offices are

being studied and an action plan to consolidate the safety

activities of various departments of MCGM will be finalized in

the next financial year.

Extension of services to the urban poor

With a view to extending various civic services to the

urban poor and improving the standard of these services a total



provision of `7923.08 crore is proposed in B.E. 2014-15 under

the following heads :-

(` in crore)

Gaothans, koliwadas and adivasipadas 26.74

Adhar Kendras 5.11

Upgradation of slums 467.97

Improvement, management and

maintenance of chawls for poorer classes.

Secondary Education 211.54

Health 2629.02

Water Subsidies 1237.10

Others 111.51

Total 7923.08

Special provision for implementation of various

schemes for women

MCGM has decided to implement various development

schemes for women within the framework of its obligatory and

discretionary functions laid down in the MMC Act, 1888.

It is proposed to strengthen this activity further for which

a special provision of `15 crore for capital works is proposed in

the Budget Estimates 2014-15 for the first time to focus on the

women issues. I appeal to Councillors, specially lady

Councillors to propose innovative development schemes for

women. Once the scheme is approved, funds will be made

available for project implementation. I am confident that this

step would help in enhancement in development in living

conditions of women in Mumbai.



While making allocation for different sectors and

activities therein, I have kept in mind the obligation cast upon

Urban Local Bodies through the XII Schedule referred to by

Article 243W of the Constitution of India and Obligatory

duties under Section 61 of the MMC Act, 1888.

I, now discuss some of the important activities/services

and facilities related to Budget A, B as well as E.

Excluding Govt. revenue

Implementation of Capital Value Based Property tax system

The Corporation has adopted Capital Value based

property tax system with effect from 01.04.2010 which holds

the promise of transparency, buoyancy and equity. Property tax

bills based on Capital Value System have been served since

January 2013 and the Capital Value based Property Tax System

is under stabilization. Property owners, whose tax liability has

reduced in view of the new Capital Value based system, have



received refunds to the tune of `300.91 crore,

by 31st January, 2014, which includes `17.70 crore by way of

interest for delayed refund.

Web display of Property details with

Capital Value and Tax payable

Services like tax calculator and tax outstanding status are

provided on MCGM Web Portal, which has facilitated the

citizens to work out their property tax and also to pay property

tax online. In future, complaint filing etc. will also be provided

on MCGM Web Portal. MCGM is also intending to provide

integrated solution for visual validation of all properties using

360 degree immersive panoramic data whereby GIS base map

will be created for user departments with 360 degree panoramic

view of the properties. This will ensure better compliances and

detection of missing properties for better realisation of property

tax and licensing revenue.

Future initiatives

Flatwise bills will be issued from the forthcoming year in

case of housing societies who demand for the same.

Issuing of property tax bills via email, payment through

Kiosks, and confirmation of payment made through SMS

will be implemented in phases. Other payment options



like NEFT, credit card etc. to be introduced in the

financial year 2014-15.

Assessment of undeveloped land by procuring details of

the CTS numbers & scanning thereof in the system.

Communication and education campaign for informing

the taxpayers on the details of bills issued, last date of

payment of tax, imposition of penalty, stage of complaint

disposal etc. will be initiated in 2014-15. Call center will

be set up to resolve the grievances of the taxpayers.

Imposition of penalty on account of unauthorized

construction as per section 152A of the MMC Act to be

initiated in 2014-15.

Necessary steps to be taken in the year 2014-15 for

preparation for revision in the capital value and

subsequent taxation from 01.04.2015

It was stated in the last years budget speech that

administration had initiated steps for transition to Local Body

Tax system in place of Octroi by 1st October, 2013. The

necessary amendment for LBT in the MMC Act did not take

place and now MCGM is the only ULB in Maharashtra where

Octroi is collected. Thus, Octroi will still remain the prime

revenue source for MCGM in 2014-15.

In Mumbai, the total length of the roads is 1941.16 Km.

out of which 506.46 Km. length is in City division, 927.64 Km.

length is in Western Suburbs division and 507.06 Km. length is

in Eastern Suburbs.

1) First Master Plan for Roads in Mumbai

For the first time a Master Plan for 3 years i.e. for the

years 2013-14, 2014-2015, and 2015-16 is prepared. This plan



aims to overcome the limitations in selection of roads for

project work, which was time consuming and subjective. It

also gives details about Major Roads (width more than 30) and

Minor Roads (width upto 30) and also gives the information

about number, length and approximate cost of the Roads to be

taken up.

As per the Master Plan, in the coming 3 years Roads

totalling a length of 1239 Km. are proposed to be taken up for

improvement at a total cost of approximately `7774 crore.

This year, a substantial increase from about

`1545.48 crore to `2500 crore in allocation of funds is

proposed for improvement of roads in Asphalt & Cement

Concrete.

The Master Plan will serve as a guideline for taking up

roads in the next 3 years.

A Pilot Study for assessing the Pavement Condition

Index (PCI) is also being taken up for the first time so as to

assess the PCI of roads, with respect to roughness index,

undulations, potholes, rutting of surface etc., and which will

help in maintenance and management of roads.

It is also proposed to get upto 10% of the estimates of

Capital Works prepared by the Engineering staff of the Road

department instead of getting the same through Design

Consultants.



It is now proposed to improve 78 km and 149 Km. of

road length in Cement Concrete and Asphalt during 2014-15.

Accordingly, I propose a provision of `954.93 crore and

`1180.74 crore for Cement Concrete & Asphalt Road works

respectively in the year 2014-15.

N.S. Road (Marine Drive) work was done in 1939. It is

now taken up for strengthening & improvement as per STAC

recommendations. Beautification of the central divider is also

proposed by re-designing the same.

I propose, `7 crore in R.E 2013-14 & B.E 2014-15

`40 crore for this project.

Similarly, S.V. Road in Western Suburbs and R.C. Marg

in Eastern Suburbs are proposed to be taken up for

improvement in the year 2014 -15.

2) First Mobility Plan for Mumbai:

It is now proposed to prepare a Comprehensive

Mobility Plan for entire Mumbai City which will help in the

development of transportation network of all modes of transport

including pedestrians, cyclist & Intermediate Public Transport

(IPT) to achieve convenient and cost effective accessibility to

places of employment and education. It will also help in

optimal utilization of funds and human resources.

The Comprehensive Mobility plan will be completed in

2014-15.



3) Parking Policy :

For the 1st time, a comprehensive Parking Policy has

been proposed which envisages different on-street parking rates

for different locations depending on location of Government

offices, Business Centers / corporate offices where people

frequently visit. The locations have been categorised as A,

B & C with differential rates. It envisages demand

management of Traffic, incentivising Public Transport & I.P.T

vis-a-vis Private transport.

It is now proposed to cover all Pay and Park locations

with operation of hand held devices by appointing agencies

subject to final court order on reservation. New policy on

Resident parking, PPL parking to promote tourism and parking

free Zones near schools is proposed for good governance.

4) New Trenching Policy :-

The trenching policy is now streamlined and the salient

features of which are as under:-

Internal & external utilities should submit their annual

plans for trenching works to be carried out during fair

season.

MCGM appointed contractors will be carrying out the

work of reinstatement which will be monitored by

Trench Tracking System and also audited through Third

Party Quality Auditors.



It is also approved to levy (right of way) access charges

@ `100/- per metre for existing as well as proposed

external utilities which will fetch around `200 crore per

year.

5) Panel of Third Party Quality Auditors :-

This year a Panel of Third Party Quality Auditors is

formed for the work of quality monitoring & quality control of

road works on day to day basis. Consultants of International

repute, M/s. SGS India Pvt. Ltd. and M/s. Indian Register of

Shipping are Empanelled for Third Party Quality Audit of the

road works. From this year it is also proposed to audit the

works of re-instatement of trenches being carried out by

appointing trenching contractors. 20% of the pot-holes will also

be got audited from the panel of auditors.

6) Road Maintenance & Management System (RMMS):

Taking ahead the implementation of RMMS, the same is

integrated with GIS based pothole tracking & management

system which has enabled transfer of data from one system to

another. Also, the numbering of roads carried out in RMMS is

used in SAP and pothole tracking system, making it a common

feature. The pre-monsoon works are also proposed to be

carried out through RMMS.

The ongoing works will also be monitored in Real Time

through GIS based Live Works System, which will track and



record the parameters on Asphalt and Concrete Mixing Plants

as well as on site, related to quality and quantity of materials.

The practice of using RMMS will be continued.

7) Mumbai Coastal Road Project:

The Joint Technical Committee constituted by Govt. of

Maharashtra under the chairmanship of Municipal

Commissioner has recommended about 35.6 km. coastal

freeway starting from Nariman point to Malad-Marve Road,

comprising a combination of coastal road on reclamation,

bridges, elevated roads & tunnels on Western side of Mumbai,

which will create badly needed open spaces in Mumbai for

recreation without involving any Real Estate or Building

Development.

Request For Proposal (RFP), for preparation of Detailed

Project Report (DPR) including Environmental Impact Study

and Clearances thereof, Techno Economic Feasibility and

preparation of Bid documents & Bid Process Management,

have been invited from Consultants and the scrutiny is

underway.

8) Think Tank on Mumbai Traffic & Transport Issues:-

Traffic issues in Mumbai need to be addressed on

priority, in a sustainable manner. Providing spaces for road

transportation, inter-modal integration, leaving spaces for

pedestrians, encouraging non-motorist transport, parking, etc.



are to be dealt with in short and medium term. At the same

time, measures should be such that they are sustainable in the

long run.

As such a multi-disciplinary Think Tank on Mumbai

Traffic & Transport Issues is formed to advise on traffic related

issues to evolve solutions.

The Think Tank consists of experts as well as members

of civil society who will discuss & advise the administration on

transportation planning, incentivizing public transport,

pedestrianization of road spaces etc.

9) Bottleneck Policy:

In order to smoothen the traffic flow in Mumbai, City

and Suburbs, a comprehensive policy for removal of bottleneck,

establishing missing links of D.P. roads, providing alternative

accommodation, compensation to the PAPs is framed.

Dedicated cells under Zonal DMCs have been formed to

expedite implementation of this policy. This will ensure that all

the DP roads come to corporation as soon as possible and we do

not have to wait for request for the development permission in

the adjoining plots to get these roads as setback. The policy is

under execution in eastern suburbs

10) Area Traffic Control (ATC):

In continuation of the World Bank assisted Area Traffic

Control (ATC) project already implemented in Mumbai City



for 253 Traffic signals, the work of upgradation of remaining

373 Traffic signals in Suburbs area is included in the proposed

Comprehensive Mobility plan to be taken up shortly.

The installation work of Digital countdown timers on

non-conventional traffic signals in Suburbs is proposed to be

taken up in 2014-15.

The display of travel time on existing Variable Message

System (VMS) boards installed at various junctions in Greater

Mumbai is proposed to be taken for installation in 2014-15 and

2015-16.

BRIMSTOWAD Project

MCGM had been improving its Storm Water Drain

network based on BRIMSTOWAD report of 1993, which

prescribed design criteria of rainfall intensity of 25 mm/hour

with runoff coefficient of 0.5. However, after inundation of

July, 2005, the Fact Finding Committee (Chitale Committee)



constituted by Government of Maharashtra recommended

revision of criteria, upgrading them to 50 mm/hr and 1 as

run-off coefficient, leading to increase of width as well as depth

of nallas / drains over that recommended in BRIMSTOWAD

report especially in the tidal zone.

The Government of India has sanctioned special funds of

`1200 crore for implementation of BRIMSTOWAD Project as

per DPR of the year 2007, out of which, `1000 crore have been

received till date. Total expenditure incurred till 30.12.2013 is

`1884.34 crore. However, due to increased width and depth of

the drains due to change in design parameters, requirement of

unconventional technology especially in tidal zone and passage

of time particularly due to encroachment issues, total

financial requirement of the project increased from `1200 crore

to `3884.61 crore for which revised DPR is submitted to

Director (WS&LSG), Ministry of U.D., Government of India

on 12.3.2012.

Out of total 58works under BRIMSTOWAD Project,

17 works have been completed till date, while 37 works are in

progress. Work Order for 1 work i.e. Britannia Pumping Station

is being issued shortly. Remaining 3 works are yet to be

tendered. As the city needs to complete these works to protect

itself from any future onslaught of rains equivalent to that of



July, 2005, MCGM has to go ahead with the full

implementation plan for which the provision of `486.25 crore

has been made in the year 2014-15. Liability of

BRIMSTOWAD works on MCGM budget will continue up to

the year 2015-16.

MCGM has also undertaken Non-BRIMSTOWAD works

for improvement of SWD Network. During the year 2013-14

expenditure of `104.30 crore has been incurred till date on Non

BRIMSTOWAD Project work. The provision of `634.82 crore

is proposed in Budget estimate 2014-15 for

Non- BRIMSTOWAD works.

For SWD project works during the year 2013-14

expenditure of `386.19 crore has been incurred till date.

Provision of `1100.19 crore was made in B.E. 2013-14.

Catchment Engineer Concept

The Catchment Area which is also called Water Shed

Area comprises of ridge and valley portion leading the runoff

from the upstream point to the downstream point, up to the

outfall.

It has been proposed on experimental basis to appoint the

Catchment Engineers in various catchments. The catchment

engineer will have all relevant and comprehensive information

of the catchment area. Mumbai City & Suburbs have been



divided into total 122 catchment areas for which it is proposed

to appoint about 80 Sub Engineers.

Besides efficient and effective desilting and cleaning of

storm water drains, safety of personnel is also paramount.

Therefore, mechanized cleaning of such drains is being done by

upgrading machinery. Roadside Open Drain Desilting (RODD)

machine with silt container, Robotic Multipurpose excavator

machine and vehicle mounted suction-cum-jetting Machine

with recycling facility is being used.

In the forthcoming financial year 2014-15, it is proposed

to introduce the Operation and Maintenance wing in Eastern

and Western Suburbs on similar lines as that in City section in

order to have better control on redressal of Mechanical and

Electrical issues.

During the year 2013-14 total 4, 87,116 Cu. M. silt has

been removed from Storm Water Drains, Major nallas, Minor

nallas and Mithi river in City and Suburbs, before monsoon.

In Revenue Budget 2014-15 provision of `207.35 crore

is made for maintenance of Storm Water Drains.

Storm Water Pumping Stations

Under the BRIMSTOWAD Project, the work of design

and construction of storm water pumping stations including

supply, delivery, erection, commissioning of mechanical,



instrumentation & automation work and comprehensive

operation and maintenance of pumping plant at various outfalls

at Haji Ali, Love Grove, Cleave Land Bunder, Britannia and

Irla have been undertaken.

Out of total 8 nos. of pumping stations to be constructed,

pumping stations at Haji Ali and Irla are commissioned in May,

2011. Work of pumping stations at Love Grove and Cleave

Land Bunder are in progress. Pumping station at Lovegrove is

likely to be commissioned from 30 April, 2014 and Cleaveland

Bunder pumping station is proposed to be commissioned by

15 June, 2014. This will provide relief to the flood prone areas

such as Keshavrao Khadye Marg, Dr. Dadasaheb Bhadkamkar

Marg, N.M. Joshi Marg to B.D.D. Chawl, Sane Guruji Marg,

Dadar Market, Bhavani Shankar Road, Fitwala Lane, etc. As

on today, 55 nos. of flooding spots existing in the year 2011 has

been reduced to 40.

The Work Order for construction of pumping station at

Britannia Outfall, Reay Road, is being issued shortly. The

e-tender for proposed storm water pumping station at

Gazdharband is invited and work will be awarded soon.

The provision of `232.41 crore is proposed in Budget

Estimate of 2014-15 for all pumping station works.



Development of Mithi River

Mithi River under MCGM jurisdiction is being improved

for augmenting its water carriage capacity under direction of

Mithi River Development and Protection Authority set up by

Govt. of Maharashtra.

Construction of retaining wall for a length of 10.3 k.m.

out of 20 k.m. is completed. The work order of 4.2 km retaining

wall in group No.2 & 4 was issued in the year 2011 & work is

in progress. The work of retaining wall of 568 mt. out of 1325

mt. of group no. 2 & work of 1161 mt. out of 2800 mt. of group

no. 4 has been completed. The tenders for group No.1 & 3 will

be invited; however there is an encroachment to an extent of

90% in both the groups which will be required to be removed.

As regards to group No.5, the tender notice is issued & the site

is clear to an extent of 70%, & the work can be started on

issuance of work order. Deepening work of Mithi River has

been completed up to 95%.

A provision of `1136.08 crore is made in Budget

Estimates for 2014-15 for Storm Water Drain works.

Mumbai Aarogya Abhiyan :

`cegbyeF& Deejesie DeefYeeeve' was launched on 7th April, World

Health Day 2010. What began as a campaign for outreach

services to slum population has since then grown into a

comprehensive programme to provide quality health care in

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Sectors.

I am happy to announce that year 2013 saw an

unprecedented growth and augmentation in Health Care

Services both in form of commissioning of New Health Care

facilities & Hospitals and also in areas of concern such as

Mental Health, Diabetes, T.B., Cancer, Dialysis and diagnostic

facilities such as MRI & CT scan.



Malaria & Dengue Control Programme :-

`cegbyeF& ceb$e', M.C.G.M.s 5 point programme for Malaria

Control is now recognized by Govt. of India as a role model for

control & reduction of prevalence of Malaria in urban settings.

I am happy to note that 2013 witnessed a further downward

trend in prevalence of malaria in mumbai.

Particulars 2010 2011 2012 2013 % reduction (in

comparison with

2010)

Cases 76755 39822 16086 10565 86%

SPR 5.5 2.4 1 0.7 87%

Death 145 69 45 30 79%

While mumbai has remarkably controlled the once

widespread prevalence of malaria, M.C.G.M. has also put in

place a programme to control new global concern of dengue.

Dispensary upgradation programme.

Under this programme over 100 dispensaries have been

given the necessary facelift and have been branded to ensure

qualitative primary health care service delivery. I have also

proposed adequate provision for the reconstruction of fifteen

existing dispensaries.

While 13 new dispensaries are in the process of being

commissioned in the current year 2013-14, I have also proposed



adequate provision to commission another 15 new dispensaries

especially in slums.

Aarogya Camps

Innovative outreach campaign launched by M.C.G.M.

during monsoon 2011, for reaching primary health care services

to the door steps of communities living in slums, is being

continuously strengthened, and has significantly helped MCGM

in ensuring early detection and correct treatment of not only

malaria & dengue but also diseases of high prevalence such as

diabetes & T.B.

Maternity Home upgradation programme :-

74,754 out of 1,75,208 (42.66%) babies born in Mumbai

are born under a MCGM roof. I am happy to announce

`megjef#ele ceele=lJe DeefYeeeve' M.C.G.M.s progamme to upgrade

and augment maternity home services.

2 new maternity homes at Kherwadi & at Bail Bazar,

Kurla will be commissioned during the year 2014.

Construction for 5 new maternity homes (Kasai wada at

Kurla, Shivaji Nagar & Maharashtra Nagar at Govandi,

Malvani & Pathanwadi at Malad) will begin in 2014, and

I have proposed adequate budget provision for the same.



Adequate budget has also been proposed for

reconstruction of maternity homes at Deonar, Vile Parle

and Goregaon and major structural repairs of maternity

home at Mahim.

5 maternity homes (Marol, Oshivara, Mother & Child

Hospital Magathane, Chembur Naka & Bhandup) will be

augmented as Sentinel Centers while 6 maternity homes

will be upgraded (Vile Parle, Akurli Road, Borivali,

Deonar, Mulund & Mahim).

Overall it is proposed to add 130 new maternity beds,

25 new NICU beds and 130 new pediatric beds to ensure

qualitative health care services for the mother & new

born.

Life long commitment for Diabetic Care :-

MCGM had, in the previous year, commissioned

55 diabetic dispensaries, becoming the first Corporation to offer

lifelong medication for diabetes at the primary health care level.

This commitment to non-communicable diseases (NCDs)

will be further strengthened in this year & I have proposed

adequate budget for the same.

Mumbai Mission for Tuberculoses (TB) control :-

T.B. and especially DRTB (Drug Resistant TB) has been

an area of concern in recent years. I am happy to note



that in order to ensure early diagnosis of DRTB, 4 Gene

Xperts (at Govandi, Kurla, Shivadi & Kandivali) have

been commissioned in the year 2013. I am further happy

to note that LPA (Line Probe Assay) diagnostic facilities

has been commissioned at Shivadi T.B. Hospital. I am

confident that introduction of these state-of-art diagnostic

facilities will improve early detection of DRTB, thereby

ensuring control and reduction of drug resistant TB in the

years to come.

India first hospital for DRTB, provision for which was

made in the previous year has also been commissioned in

the year 2013 thereby addressing a felt need in treatment

of DRTB patients.

Govt. of India has acknowledged MCGMs efforts

towards control & reduction of DRTB in Mumbai. I am

happy to note that Govt. of India has approved in

principle the new proposed algorithm for even earlier

detection of XDRTB (Xtremely Drug Resistant TB) and

patient-centric individualized treatment regime. Govt. of

India has also approved in principle nutritional support to

DRTB patients of Mumbai.



I am also happy to note that Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation (BMGF) has joined hands with MCGM in

Mumbai Mission for T.B. control.

I am confident that we will be able to achieve significant

reduction in the prevalence of DRTB in Mumbai due to

these united efforts.

Dialysis Services :-

Acknowledging the need for more dialysis services in the

suburbs at affordable rates, MCGM has commissioned

67 dialysis beds in the year 2013 through Public Private

Partnership (PPP).

I am happy to note that commissioning of 67 beds for

affordable dialysis has also resulted in a general reduction of

dialysis charges in the private sector thereby addressing a major

concern of patients in need of dialysis.

Similarly another 100 affordable dialysis beds will be

commissioned in the year 2014-15 ensuring much needed relief

for patients in need of dialysis.

24 X 7 Helpline for Stress Depression & Mental Wellbeing:-

I am happy to note that `efnleietpe' a 24 X 7 Helpline for

mental wellbeing (Tel. 24131212) has been launched in the

year 2013. It is proposed to further augment MCGMs services

in the era of Mental Wellbeing in the year 2014-15.



Diagnostic services :-

I am happy to announce that First Ever MRI centers in

public sectors were commissioned at Kandivali Shatabdi &

Govandi Shatabdi Hospitals in 2013, thereby addressing a

major need of affordable MRI centers in the suburbs.

In order to further ensure availability of CT scan & MRI

services to Mumbaikars in the suburbs at affordable rates,

MCGM is in the process of finalizing 5 CT scan centers

(Bhabha Hospital, Kurla, MT Agarwal Hospital, Mulund(W),

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Centenery Hospital, Kandivali,

Siddharth Hospital, Goregaon & Cooper Hospital, Andheri) and

3 MRI centers (Rajawadi Hospital, Ghatkkopar,

Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackray Hospital, Jogeshwari

& Cooper Hospital, Andheri) through PPP (Public Private

Partnership).

Cancer Care :-

I am happy to note that 75 bedded chemotherapy services

have been initiated at Nair Hospital in 2013, thereby

helping in reduction of waiting period for chemotherapy.

I propose to further augment cancer care services in

MCGM hospitals in the year 2014-15.



In order to ensure affordable cancer care to the needy,

MCGM is in the process of finalizing cancer care

hospital at affordable rates through PPP at the sites of

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Maternity Home at Reay Road

and Gaurabai Maternity Home at Kamathipura. I am

confident that these 2 Cancer Care hospitals will, in the

years to come, address the crying demand for affordable

cancer care.

State-of-Art Centre for Burns :-

I have proposed adequate budget provisions to augment

the existing Burns Centre at Sion Hospital & Kasturba Hospital

and create a State-of-Art Burns Centre at the newly

commissioned Cooper Hospital.

Peripheral Hospitals :-

I am happy to note that MCGM has successfully

commissioned 3 new hospitals at Kandivali, Andheri &

Jogeshwari in 2013 thereby creating additional 850 beds

in the suburbs. This has helped in bridging the gap

between demand for & supply of beds in the public

sector to an extent.

With a view to ensure enhancement of affordable beds

and healthcare services along the eastern corridor, I have

proposed adequate budget provision for redevelopment



of Shatabdi Hospital at Govandi, K.M.J. Phule Hospital

at Vikhroli, M.T. Agarwal Hospital at Mulund, work for

which will begin in the year 2014.

Similarly, in order to enhance health care services in the

eastern suburb, I have proposed adequate budget

provision for a 500 bedded new hospital at Bhandup,

which when commissioned will become a part of KEM

Group of Hospitals and work for which will also begin in

the year 2014.

Adequate budget provision has also been proposed for

phase II of redevelopment of Bhagvati Hospital, Borivali

and reconstruction of Kasturba Cross Road, Borivali.

I am also happy to announce that MCGM will be

commissioning its 4th

Medical College at Cooper

Hospital in the year 2014-15 for which suitable budget

has been proposed.

I had, in last budget, announced the concept of paying

beds for the middle class. I am happy to note that

106 paying beds have been commissioned in 2013 in the

newly commissioned hospitals at Dr. Babasaheb

Ambedkar Centenary Hospital, Cooper Hospital and

Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Hospital and

have been welcomed by the middle class and tax payers.



MCGM also plans to add another 500 such paying beds

for the middle class in next 3 years.

Major Hospitals :-

At the helm of M.C.G.Ms 3 tier health care systems are

the 3 renowned major hospitals. I have proposed

adequate budget provision of `126 crore for procuring

state of art equipment in all the 3 major hospitals.

Similarly, I have also proposed adequate budget

provision to further augment health facilities, especially

ICU & NICU facilities at 3 major hospitals.

MCGM beds at Seven Hills hospital :-

I am also happy to note that M.C.G.M. has finally signed

MoU with the Seven Hills Hospital and has operationalized

MCGM quota thereat.

Beautification & upgradation of Crematoriums :-

M.C.G.M. has in principle accepted the policy of conversion

of wood based crematoriums into PNG based green

crematoriums. Accordingly, work for the following 8

crematorium in Phase I and 12 crematoriums in Phase II will

The Budget Estimates for the year 2014-2015 of the

Education department is `2658.34 crore as compared to Budget

Estimates of `2472.43 crore in 2013-14.

1. Introduction of Semi English pattern of

education in MCGM Schools

It is rightly believed that the education imparted in the

mother-tongue is more effective. However the knowledge of

modern technology, computer science and computer software

being mainly available in English language, so also the new

jobs and the economic transactions requiring adequate

knowledge of English, make parents and students to prefer

education in English medium. Keeping these counter factors in

mind, the MCGM has decided to introduce the Semi English

pattern of instructions in its schools. It has been introduced in



177 schools during 2013-2014. The results are encouraging, as

enrollment in many of these schools has increased. The Semi

English pattern of instructions is proposed to be rolled out in all

the 1150 schools in a phased manner during next five years.

Under this pattern Mathematics and Science are taught in

English language and the rest of the subjects in mother tongue.

2. English language training to MCGM teachers

For effective implementation of Semi-English pattern of

teaching it is necessary to impart English language training to

MCGM teachers. The British Council, a world leader in

English language training has undertaken the training of

MCGM teachers. An MOU has been signed with British

Council to train 9600 MCGM teachers during next five years.

Under this programme every teacher is given 20 days training

per year for two years. Training of 2400 teachers has already

started.

3. Connecting MCGM schools and education offices through internet

Computerization and automation is to be introduced in all

the MCGM schools and different branch offices of Education

Department. The Hardware in the form of computers, printers,

and scanners will be provided in all the schools alongwith



broadband internet services. For this purpose budget of

`2.38 crore is proposed in the year 2014-2015.

4. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009

As per schedule appended to the R.T.E. Act, 2009, it is

necessary to comply with the requirements of norms and

standards as laid out in Sections 19 and 25 of the Act.

Neighbourhood school is to be provided within one kilometer

for Standard I to V and within 3 kilometers for Standard VI to

VIII. Following works / actions are proposed in the financial

year 2014-2015 to comply with RTE Act :-

a) Starting of VIII Standard in 100 MCGM schools,

which are currently upto VII standard.

b) Construction of 9 new school buildings and

reconstruction of 8 school buildings with additional

classrooms proposed for complying with the

requirement of satisfying PTR (Pupil Teacher Ratio)

and Classroom Ratio.

c) Implementation of School Management Information

System and Child Tracking System.

d) Providing Bus fare for easy transport wherever

neighborhood school is not available within the

prescribed limits. An outlay of `76 Lakhs for primary



schools and of `4 Lakh for secondary schools is

proposed during the financial year 2014-2015.

5. Upgradation of Science Labs

Concepts of science are better understood by the students

through the experiments in science labs. Provision of

`1.50 crore is proposed for upgradation of science labs in

50 secondary schools.

6. Powai high level Scout and Guide camp site upgradation

Scout and Guide camp is located at the picturesque seven

acre site at Powai. Scouts and Guides camps, Roads Safety

Patrol units of students and sports camps are arranged regularly

at this site. A master plan of development of the camp site with

facilities of adventure sports like rock climbing, valley

crossing, wall climbing, rope climbing, monkey bridge etc. is

initiated. It is proposed to upgrade and develop the camp site in

phased manner. During the financial year 2014-2015 a budget

of `1.02 crore is proposed for this purpose.

7. Virtual Classroom

In the year 2013-14, MCGM, through 4 studios, has

extended interactive education system of virtual classes in 480

Primary and Secondary Schools of Marathi, Hindi, English and

Urdu medium. Audio-visual education imparted in



360 Primary Schools and 120 Secondary Schools by relay of

lectures from Primary and Secondary Teachers and experts

proved to be more effective. A budgetary provision of

`8.12 crore is proposed in the Primary School budget and `4.50

crore in the Secondary School budget of 2014-15 for this

purpose.

Cleaning of roads and other municipally owned premises

is done by MCGM. However, maintaining cleanliness and

collecting of solid waste and to transport to municipal

collection point is the responsibility of the owners of the

premises. Mumbai has large colonies belonging to State Govt,

Central Govt, MHADA, BPT and privately owned, where

responsibility of solid waste is with the owners. A policy

decision has been taken to extend cleanliness facility in all such



colonies by levying service charges. Such a system has been

implemented in Bandra-Kurla Complex owned by MMRDA.

House gullies especially in the island city are privately

owned, but are big accumulators of solid waste. MCGM has

made arrangement with NGOs to clean these house gullies.

890 volunteers have been deployed so far.

Budget provision 2014-15 - `15.03 crore

MMRDA is constructing housing colonies for

accommodating project affected persons. Though cleanliness is

the responsibility of PAPs occupying the units, they are unable

to keep their premises clean. MCGM has taken this

responsibility.
