There is a need to augment and improve the present water supply scheme. the meters are often found to be tampered. the pressure of supply is extremely low. 2006 Key Issues The current distribution system has coverage of only 20% of the city and is outdated.4 6. This will help in reducing the energy cost required for pumping the sewage from these three nallahs to the existing STP. The pumping stations are in a poor condition currently. resulting in several leakages. The result of the same was provided by KMC for the designing of the proposed treatment process. KMC is spending about Rs. which flows into the sewage since no proper sewerage system exists. Also. particularly of COD and BOD.

Sanitation The city has 416 public toilet blocks with 3. the downstream villages such as Ichalkaranji. For administration purpose. there is a shortage of land for the disposal of treated sewage. This leads to choking and problems of suspended solid waste stagnation at various points..200 acres is available for land irrigation. where from the sewage is disposed off into the three major nallahs. 17. the city faced a jaundice epidemic due to the poor quality of water. The current STP undertakes merely primary treatment of the sewage. which can greatly reduce the pollution load on the river. therefore KMC cannot afford to dispose huge quantities of sewage. The major pollution load in surface waters in Kolhapur is due to municipal discharges (sewage). Thus. KMC is endeavouring to set up modern systems for efficient waste management and disposal. Also. there is lack of land for the construction of STPs and for sewerage disposal plant. Key issues 1994.2.

Management of the traffic consisting of heavy vehicles by notifying entry and exit periods during the day 3. Kolhapur City Development Plan and development of some new roads in way that would ensure smooth flow of traffic in the city. All the above factors would lead to a considerable increase in city traffic. On account of the slow development of transportation facilities such as ring roads and internal roads, compared to the development of the city as a whole, Kolhapur is facing tremendous setbacks. In view of the ever-increasing traffic in the highdensity corridors, steps are being taken to improve traffic conditions and to provide better connectivity. In order to tackle the traffic and connectivity problems, KMC has proposed an IRDP under the UIDSSMT scheme. This project will include widening of existing roads, laying down of storm water drains, provision of footpaths and dividers, improvisation of junctions, street lighting and beautification of roads. For the design purpose it is important to determine the capacity of which the road is build and for the same traffic studies be carried out which would include classified traffic volume count survey, origin destination survey (ODS). The survey would help in ascertaining average daily traffic of certain roads, peak hour traffic. The next step would be to undertake a topographical and engineering survey which includes, map study, road inventory survey, material survey, ground survey, pavement surveys, test pit investigation. This would be followed by identification of roads of different carriage capacities, identification of roads & pavements that requires redevelopment, road network design with varying capacities and pavement design, underpasses design. The last step would be to carry the feasibility and based on that narrow down at the cost required to undertake the development and finalise the toll to be collected to cover the capital and operational costs. The total cost of this proposed project is Rs. 311.00 crores. However, KMC proposes to take up the project on a BOT basis. It is seeking a viability gap funding under UIDSSMT to the tune of Rs. 114 crores.

The total cost of this proposed project is Rs. 102 crores. The outer ring road would be build from Rajendra nagar jakat naka to R.K. Nagar Jakat Naka to Baba Jargarnagar Naka to Kalamba Jakat Naka to Apte NAgar Jakat Naka to Phulewadi Jakat Naka. Apart from this six entrance road to the city would be build, two internal roads, 10 link roads be constructed and 2 underpasses to the railway lines would be constructed. Bus Terminus -- Priority needs (2011-12) In order to address these issues, KMC has proposed to build a modern bus terminus with supporting infrastructure facilities for the passengers travelling in and out of Kolhapur through private sector participation. KMC has proposed this project under the UIDSSMT scheme. The idea is to develop a modern transport facility of required standards as per transportation guidelines. The function of a bus terminus is to provide with the necessary facilities that would ensure smooth flow of the vehicles and passengers. The design will take into consideration traffic demand, traffic characteristics, function of terminal, and assessment of capacity, facilities and costs involved. It will also consider locational analyses, key risk factors, weighing of various costs v/s benefits to the various stakeholders and various options for development. The approach road to bus terminus is 30 mts wide. And width of the entry to the terminus will be 15 mts. The site has easy access to National Highway and it is at a distance of 500 mts from CBS. Some major commercial and industrial developments are up coming in the catchments of the proposed bus terminal and thus it is opportunity to encash upon the demand generated from these new developments in the catchment area. It will include a Grade I hotel with modern amenities like a gym and health club, a fast food centre with pool side activities, booking offices, a conference hall, luxurious accommodation for tourists, shops, waiting areas, showrooms, space for IT, space for local commodities etc. It will also include night shelters for the economically weaker class with facilities like a 24 hour restaurant, dormitories and good quality lodging for families. All these wide range of activities in the building expresses a unified & integrated approach to meet the major challenges faced by the city planning management. The total cost of this project has been estimated to be Rs. 15.78 crores.

Due to the increasing problems of traffic congestion, the Government of Maharashtra has enacted that private buses shall not start from within the 200 m circumference from the central bus stand. All private buses now start from major approach roads to the central bus station; thus, traffic congestion takes place beyond this area and major accidents occur in this zone. As a result, travel operators and passengers face several constraints such as the lack of dedicated berths for parking space, limited parking time, absence of passenger seating capacity at the terminal, issues of unofficial/ illegal parking charges, and lack of security in business. Kolhapur Municipal Corporation LO NG BA RE -67- Kolhapur City Development Plan Truck Terminus -- Priority needs (2011-12) Goods transport accounts for about 70-75% of transportation in and around the suburbs of the city. Agricultural and commercial commodities are the primary goods being transported. The city is the transit point for interstate transport routes between Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and the southern states, and also serves as a key transport location. Emerging trends in transportation have caused problems of severe traffic congestion. The major business takes place in the heart of the city, i.e., Shivaji road, Bhausingaji road, Mahalaxmi temple, Mahadwar road, Tarabai road, Rajarampuri main road, Shahupuri, Vyapar Peth, Laxmipuri, the grain market and market yard, etc. All these roads are situated in the congested Gaonthan area. The peak period for business transaction is 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. During this period, heavy traffic causes major traffic congestion. Vehicles entering the city daily, i.e., floating vehicle trucks number 1,500 to 1,600, tempos 2000 to 2100, and all others vehicle approx. Proposed site admeasuring Total construction area Total project cost 20,000 to 25,000. The major roads in Kolhapur city are of 6m-12m width; the five approach roads intercrossing the city are of 15m-18m width. In order to meet the pressures posed by the increasing commercialization of the city and forthcoming projects like multinational industrial offices, corporate offices, IT offices, call centers, and garment parks, traffic congestion needs to be reduced at the earliest. To tackle this problem, KMC has proposed the development of a truck terminus at the junction of NH-4 and the road approaching Kolhapur city. The truck terminus will also include additional infrastructure such as security and administrative offices, octroi offices, transport offices, banking offices, residential premises, a toilet block for drivers, and lodging, i.e, accommodation for traders. The terminus will also have a first aid center, fire station, transformers and general lighting for the campus, warehouses, automobile shops, workshops, service stations, vulcanizing centres, dhaba- restaurants, petrol and diesel filling stations, a motel for traders and drivers, etc. The total cost of this project has been estimated to be Rs. 8.45 crores. 81018.71 sq.m 9181.81 sq.m Rs. 8.45 crores Kolhapur Municipal Corporation -68- Station Road: The site proposed to develop as parking space admeasures 382.

The new source near the dam shall also be able to serve nearby villages. The commissioner recommended that shifting of source is a costly affair; instead KMC shall ask MPCB for establishing effluent treatment plant which will also eradicate the pollution level. He said that water supply from Kaware Dam was proposed in the year 1989 and the cost at that time period was Rs 76 crore but the work for the same was not implemented. Today the cost of the same project is Rs 310 crore. Budget allocation for water supply at state level is to the tune of Rs 17 crore. In view of this it would not be feasible to implement such project. He further explained that KMC has already explored options for improving the water infrastructure and has decided to draw water from Shringpur water source at the rate of 140 MLD. This scheme shall meet the meet demand uptill 2038. He said that presently out of 86,000 households 29,000 do not have piped water supply.

KMC needs to implement a mechanism for having staggered water charges. such as. KMC therefore needs to explore the outsourcing some of these activities. transmission and distribution activities: KMC plans to undertake projects of around Rs. The tariff would be increased exponentially for the quantity used beyond this. It should also create kiosks for collection (for all payments to the corporation including water charges). This would essentially mean paying minimum tariff up to a certain quantity. which mainly includes augmentation and improving the water supply network The bigger challenge for KMC is to maintain these assets once created. The installation of flow meter for each ESR to match the quantity of water supplied and billed would prove them with the amount of losses during this activity.

It attempts to integrate all departments and functions across an organisation onto a single computer system that can serve all those different departments' particular needs. integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can more easily share information and communicate with each other. A Municipal corporation has several functional and administrative departments. Most of the functional departments like water supply. contracts and plant fund functioning. licenses and permits etc have a interface with the citizens and they capture the citizen data relevant to their functioning. Typically the data captured by the departments are not cohesive and integrated with each other leading to data redundancy. 5. values. for example a property tax system whereby the GIS inputs are used to assess the property tax and receipts are accounted in real time. It facilitates an organization's internal planning. In such a scenario ERP system can be a useful efficiency enhancement tool. E governance as it is understood presently focuses on two aspects• • Information dissemination to citizens Information for supporting the decisions of administrators Moreover E-Governance has a micro level systems approach. It is designed for managing general ledgers. Each of these departments and functions usually has its own system optimized for the unique ways that the department works. payroll.Kolhapur City Development Plan 24 ANNEXURE L: ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) It is defined as an information system that integrates all related applications for an entire enterprise. material and work time. 6. It is the integration point that most system components relate in one way or another. However the present E governance approach will not link the property tax information to water consumption data to number of members in the household to occupation of the members (for example to find out whether the family is using unreasonably high amount of household water. may mean that they are using the household water supply for commercial use) ERP will go beyond the mandate of an e governance system and link all the functions of the corporation.

A business consultant studies an organization's current business processes and matches them to the corresponding processes in the ERP system. Production Planning: It manages your company's production process. ERP software systems are typically complex and usually impose significant changes on staff work practices.

A systems architect designs the overall dataflow for the enterprise including the future dataflow plan. 9. and especially those with multiple sites or countries. business process consulting (primarily re-engineering) and technical consulting (primarily programming and tool configuration activity). will often spend considerably more on the implementation than the cost of the user licenses -. transmission and distribution management systems. 2. Quality Management: It aims to improve the quality of the company's goods. Kolhapur Municipal Corporation -118- . transmission. Based on the above. the cost of the implementation will range from around the list price of the ERP user licenses to up to twice this amount (depending on the level of customization required). 6. For most mid-sized organisations. Financial accounting Controlling and budgeting Property tax: Assessment. office and workplace.
