Kanakapura LPA Master Plan 2031 Preface
PREFACE
Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority prepared the Structure Plan (SP) for
Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR) with an inductive approach with the prime objective of
decentralising growth away from Bangalore to harness and constrain its increasing primacy in the
region, lessen the regional disparities and in the process relieve the developmental pressure within the
conurbation. The strategic issues considered to be key determinants to future growth patterns were
studies and summed up as follows:
How effectively the strategic intervention combinations would compliment the
achievement of the induced population growth targets and developmental interventions of
the preferred growth strategy.
How effectively they would counter anomalies and negative development trends identified
in the BMR.
The structure plan was intended to provide a generic model for formulation of such plans for other
regions in Karnataka besides providing a strategic policy framework for planning & development
control locally to ensure that provision of development is realistic and complements with national state
& regional policy guidance and securing consistency between local plans for contiguous or
neighbouring areas.
Structure Plan has proposed five Area Planning Zones and Interstitial zones in the entire
Bangalore Metropolitan Region. For the purpose of planning and development of important and
potential zones, Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 has been extended to various Area
Planning Zones and Planning Authorities have been constituted for controlling and regulating the
developments in these Local Planning Areas. With the increase of Bangalore’s population and spatial
spread in the last 2 decades owing to its increasing global recognition as a preferred IT destination.
Page |A
With increasing outgrowth of Bangalore and the proposed population influx into the
Kanakapura Local Planning Area, BMRDA has rightly taken the preparation of Interim Master
Plan to dovetail the regional policies of development the local requirements of the ever-increasing
population and as a result guide & regulate urban growth for a planned & compatiable physical
development of the region. The preparation of Interim Master Plan started during 2006 and the govt.
have approved the five IMP’s provisionally in 2007 and finally approved them during 2009.
A Master Plan (MP) is defined as “A plan for the development and re-development of the
area within the jurisdiction of the planning authority”. The Master Plan has to be prepared not
later than 2 years from the declaration of the LPA as per Sec 9 of The KT & CP Act. According to the
Act the contents of a Master Plan are defined as follows.
Zoning of land use
Street pattern i.e. Circulation pattern
Area reservation for Parks/Playgrounds/Open Spaces
Area reservation for future developments
Reservation of land for the purposes of Central Govt., State Govt etc.
Declaring and framing regulations for areas of special control
Phasing of development
BMRDA prepared scientific base maps for the Local Planning Area by acquiring Quick Bird
data based on 2009 data as there were no proper base maps. The Planning Authorities incorporated all
approved lay outs and were finalised during 2012.
Government constituted a committee vides its G.O. dated 28-11-2012 under the chairmanship of
Metropolitan Commissioner to finalise the Master Plans for five Local Planning Areas and along with
some guidelines. The following were the members of the committee.

4. Additional Director of Town Planning, BMRDA Member
5. Joint Secretary / Dy. Secretary, UD Member
6. Shri Sitaram, Cistup, IISc., Bangalore Member
7. Member-Secretaries of concerned P.A. Member
Meanwhile there was a petition in High court of Karnataka for delayed preparation of Master
Plans for BMRDA submitted an affidavit saying that the plans would be finalised by June 2012 and
subsequently another affidavit that it would be finalised on 31-1-2013. But, we could not finalise the
plans within date and immediately the committee met on 24-1-2013 and reviewed the progress made
in the preparation of Master Plans. During the discussion it was also observed that notification under
section 10/1 of Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 was not declared so far and it would
be further delayed if we notify it now (2 months) and therefore, it was decided that If BMRDA is to
prepare the Master Plans, then the notification under section 10/1 is not required. However, it was
opined that in one case law the govt. has to delegate/empower the preparation of Master Plans under
section 9/2 of Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961. Accordingly, BMRDA requested the
govt. and govt. have empowered the preparation of Master Plans for five Local Planning Areas to
BMRDA under section 9/2 Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 on 4-3-2013.
The committee formulated broad guidelines’ for the preparation of Master Plans and directed
the Authorities to work out the proposals based on:
1. Existing developments
2. Approved IMP
3. Change of land uses approved by the govt. and P.A. under section 14-A (3)

4. Major road alignment (STRR/IRR/ITRR) was incorporated as per the Karnataka Gazette
notification dated: 13-09-2007.
5. Concept of zoning and scientific allocation of land uses.
6. All the directions of government.
7. Identification of water bodies and natural drains and their protection
8. Structure Plan directives
Based on the above guidelines BMRDA with full support of all Planning Authorities, Cistup
(IISc) and DULT finalised the Master Plan and it was unanimously approved in the committee
constituted under the chairmanship of Metropolitan Commissioner for the finalisation of Master Plans.
Now, BMRDA is submitting the Master Plan for Kanakapura Local Planning Area with plans &
reports for provisional approval as required under section 13 (1) of Karnataka Town and Country

Kanakapura LPA Master Plan 2031 Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Kanakapura Local Planning Area was declared by the BMRDA in 2006. It is located in the south-
west part of the Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR). The total extent of the LPA is 412.78 sqkm
and consists of 86 settlements consisting of 85 villages and Kanakapura TMC. The LPA is well
connected by the NH-206, connecting Bangalore with Mysore via Kanakapura LPA. The Interim
Master Plan of the LPA was commissioned in 2007. It was provisionally approved in April 2007 and
finally approved by the BMRDA in May 2009. The process of Master Plan preparation started with the
preparation of the Basemap and Existing Landuse Map which were prepared by Pixel using 0.6 m
resolution Quickbird satellite Image. The maps were scrutinised by the KSRAC and submitted to the
BMRDA in 2012.
The Master Plan of Kanakapura was prepared with to promote the LPA’s role as a counter magnet to
Bangalore. The Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor passes in close proximity to the LPA on the
north-east which increases its development potential. There are four important growth nodes in the
LPA – Kaggalipura, Harohalli, Kanakapura and Sathanur. Likewise all Master plan Proposals have
made as per the four conurbations – Kaggalipura, Harohalli, Kanakapura and Sathanur.
Kaggalipura is located along the NH 206 and is closest to Bangalore. There is rapid urbanization in
the area with the construction of residential apartments. International schools and spiritual institutions
have come up in the area. Harohalli is characterized by the KIADB industrial estate which has few
industries at present. Kanakapura is the Taluk headquarter of the Kanakapura Taluk and is also a
Town Municipal Council as per Census. The area is mainly residential with few institutional buildings
to cater to the civic needs. Sathanur is the southern-most settlement in the LPA. It consists of
residential areas as few commercial and institutional setups. A township of 65 sqkm has been
proposed at Sathanur by the BMRDA – to form a hub of agro processing industries with work-home-
play concept. The township would further increase the development potential of the LPA.

Kanakapura LPA Master Plan 2031 Executive Summary
The river Arkavathi flows through the LPA and is the only perennial source of water. Depletion of
ground water is a major concern of development.
The Master Plan 2031 has been prepared to uphold the potential of the areas. There have been
some changes in landuse in the LPA under KTCP Act. All changes and approved layouts have been
retained in the Master Plan proposal. Guidelines and standards have been followed and additional
landuse has been assigned scientifically.
The concept of ‘phasing of development’ has been introduced as required under section 12 (g) of
Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1861 to bring about gradual and compact development in
the Local Planning Area. The primary objective of act is to guide and regulate the developments
within the Local Planning Area in a phased manner so as to facilitate planning for the provision of
infrastructure services like water supply, sanitation, drainage, transport and social infrastructure.

Karnataka is one of the fastest growing states in India. It is the 9 th largest state in India in terms of
population with a decadal growth rate of 15.67%1. 38.57% of the state is urbanised with a growth rate
of 31.27%. The BMR has an area of 8005 sq km and a population of 10.57 lakhs as per census 2011.
The decadal population growth rate in the BMR is 25.68%. Needless to say, this fast growth calls for
a strategic planning to sustain the additional pressure on services and maintain the quality of life.
The BMR at present faces the challenges of a rapidly urbanising region on the verge of becoming an
international metropolis. While the strategic location, economic potential and an efficient workforce of
the area provides impetus to the process of globalization, lack of perennial water availability, rising
pressure on infrastructure in core are inevitable constraints in the process of the same. Hence a
policy of decentralisation advocates spatial distribution of population from the core to the outer less
congested areas.
Planning in India, traditionally had been largely socio-economic, restricted to a few urban centres.
The three tier planning system was often overridden by state agenda. The 73rd and 74th
Constitutional Amendment Acts, implemented in the year 1992, provide a spatial framework for
integration between all levels of planning. Known as the decentralisation agenda, the aim was to
facilitate a gradual shift in power to the grass root levels. As a part of the functional devolution, the
local bodies (LB) are now expected to perform urban planning including town planning, regulation of
land use and construction of buildings, planning for economic and social development, planning for
the poor in the society, slum improvement and up gradation and urban poverty alleviation.
The Master Plan for Kanakapura Local Planning Area has been prepared in the context of the BMR
to redefine its role for the future within the overall framework of Structure Plan 2031.

1.2 REGIONAL SETTING
The BMR is disaggregated into six local planning areas and the Bangalore Metropolitan area which
more or less coincides with the limits of the BBMP. In order to provide sectoral and spatial synergy a
Structure Plan had been formulated for the BMR which is more or less a regional perspective plan.
The Structural Plan provides a framework for the master plan of the Kanakapura LPA.
The Structure Plan (SP) 2011 had an inductive approach to planning since it was governed by the
decentralisation policy in the BMR. Hence, the SP 2011 proposed a targeted induced population
distribution of over 7.4 lakhs in the south Karnataka Region, of which 4.9 lakhs were to be
accommodated in the BMR. The Interim Master Plan (IMP) prepared for the Kanakapura LPA for the
plan period 2021 envisaged a population of 11.22 lakhs in the LPA by the year 2021 also prepared by
an inductive approach.
The vision and the growth directions stated in the SP 2011 had not been able to live up to the pace of
growth in the BMR. Hence a Revised Structure Plan (RSP) has been prepared for the region for the
year 2031, to provide strategic policy framework for planning, ensure sectoral development and
coordination and securing consistency between the various local plans.
The Kanakapura LPA (K-LPA) Master Plan 2031

articulates a multi-year vision and plan for the LPA‟s
growth and development, driven by institutions that
reflect the citizen‟s values. The master plan provides
contours of a shared vision and identification of key
issues facing the LPA in the short, medium and long
term. It identifies the development patterns,
KANAKAPURA
infrastructure gaps and deficiencies, project and
reform priorities in the LPA in tandem with the
sectoral visions of the draft Revised Structure Plan
2031.

1.3 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
LAND
Land being a limited and fixed resource, there is competing demand on agriculture and allied
activities, non-agriculture sectors like industries, communication systems, buildings, and power
projects, new townships, mining and so on.
Demand for land from both agriculture and non-agricultural sectors are exerting a great pressure on
land resources. The demand for firewood, timber and fodder for livestock has resulted in excessive
pressure on forest and pasture lands which has progressively affected the grass and tree cover
resulting in accelerated forest and greenery (pasture) degradation leading to ecological imbalance
and environmental problems.
Pasture lands have to be provided to facilitate grazing of animals and also fodder augmentation in
community/government lands. In the LPA the pasture land appears to be significant contributor to live
stock. In the LPA special efforts have to be made to develop pasture lands to encourage animal
husbandry.
PHYSIOGRAPHY
The elevation falls from 833 m to 620 m from north of the LPA to the south up to Arkavathy valley and
increases in elevation generally towards the south-west. Terrain shows undulating topography with
varying elevation between 833 meters to 620 meters above MSL. The lowest elevation being 620 m
is found around Kanakapura town in the valley portion. The slopes vary from 20-150
metres/kilometre.
The Kanakapura LPA lies in the Cauvery basin. The main tributary of Cauvery, river Arkavathy, flows
in the LPA. LPA is covered by the sub basin of Arkavathy and drains southwards. The drainage
density and stream frequency are moderate to high (hilly zone, in northern, eastern and western part)
and medium to low in central part. Drainage map shows the drainage network is integrated with
surface water body within the LPA. The drainage pattern is dendratic and parallel. It encourages for
infiltration than runoff, as the stream frequency and density are medium to low and have good
constant channel maintenance. These drainages are controlled by structures and lithology.
Page |3
GEOMORPHOLOGY
Kanakapura LPA lies predominantly in Pedi plain geomorphic unit. Small patches of Structural and
Denudational hills are also traced in north eastern and southern part. The figure shows geomorphic
pattern within the LPA. This map clearly indicates that, infiltration zones are larger in area than runoff
and are suitable for ground water recharge. The potentiality will also be moderate to good.
Apart from the structural valleys, supported by the surface water bodies as showing better prospects
for ground water developments.Ground water potential clearly shows that the ground water prospects
in the valley portion is good and in majority area of the LPA, it is moderate. This can be converted as
good potential zone by adopting artificial recharge techniques.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The area is underlain with grey and pink granites and granite gneisses and intruded by dolomatic
pegmatite and quartz veins. The map shows the general lithological units in and around Kanakapura
LPA. The inclusions of dolorate and amphibolite dykes are also traced. The general trend of the
peninsular genesis is North West – South East to North East – South West. These show a steep dip
of about 70 to 80 degrees due South East. According to the Earthquake Map of Karnataka, the LPA
belongs to very low damage risk zone and is in stable belt.
Major portion of the LPA consists of red loamy sandy soils, which is moderately porous and medium
permeability. The patches of loamy, loamy clayey, sandy type of soils are noticed within the LPA.
The clayey and loamy types of soils are more in area extent in southern part than in the rest of the
LPA. Uplands show these types of soils. The map shows the soil types in and around the LPA.
The soils are favourable zones for ground water recharge. As permeability and porosity for the soils
are medium, the infiltration rates will be medium to high. Since, the characteristics are almost uniform
across the LPA; it is advisable to avoid the water polluting industries in the entire LPA to avoid
contamination of water.
There is a need for striking a balance between the competing claims of different sectors. It is
imperative to think of a systematic and scientific long range plan to harness the land resources not
only for satisfying the competing demands from various sectors, but also for ensuring sustainability
of the systems.

The soils belong to the Alifisols order. Red soils are predominant. These soils have developed on
gneisses and granites and up to little extent on metamorphic rocks. These soils occur on hills, ridges,
rolling to undulating and gently sloping lands of LPA.
Table 1.1: Physiography and soil types

Physiography Soils
Rolling lands Deep, red gravelly clay soils
Moderately deep, red clay soils

Undulating lands
Moderately deep, red gravelly clay soils
Gently sloping lands Deep, red clay soils
Valleys Very deep, clayey alluvial soils with saline-sodic in patches
These are moderately eroded and severely eroded lands, which need appropriate soil, and water
conservation measures for both agricultural and non-agricultural areas for preventing further
degradation of soils.
CLIMATE
The climate in the region is hot, moist, semi-arid Ecological Sub Region with length of growing period
of 150-180 days.2 The Kanakapura Local Planning Area belongs to the Eastern Dry Agro-Climatic
Zone. The LPA experiences pleasant weather almost all throughout the year. March, April and May
are the predominant summer months while December and January constitute winter.
The nearest IMD station giving the rainfall, humidity, temperature and wind is at Bangalore. Hence,
the data was collected from the IMD station from 1998 to 2008 for the mentioned parameters to
understand the climate in the area.

WIND DIRECTIONS
It is seen from the wind roses collected from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) at
Bangalore that the wind direction is mostly east to west. In the morning i.e., 0830 hrs, the wind is
towards west during May to September and east during November to February. Whereas, in the
evening i.e., 17:30hrs, the wind blows towards west during June to September and east in November
to March. Hence, it can be taken that the wind generally blows towards west. The strongest winds
(>19 kmph) are observed in the months from June to August.

It is also observed from figure 2.1 that the annual analysis of the wind direction indicates west and
east winds. The percentage wind from the north, however, slightly outweighs the one blowing from
south.
It is seen from the IMD data from 1951-80, that the mean wind speeds are greatest in the months of
June and July .According to the Wind Map of Karnataka, the LPA belongs to Low Damage Risk Zone.
Hence, the structure design of infrastructure in the LPA with respect to wind, loading may be taken
into consideration while planning and constructing high rise structures only. Further, the location of
Page |6
industry, generally, should be located in a direction where wind force is going away from the human
habitation.
RAINFALL
Bangalore IMD station recorded an average rainfall of around 875 mm over the years 1998-2010. It is
observed from the IMD data provided that there are two peaks in the rainfall in Bangalore namely
May and September months. But the highest rainfall months are mainly August, September and
October.

TEMPERATURE
The annual temperature in the LPA is around 24-25oC. Generally the mean minimum (January) is 14-
18 oC and the mean Maximum (May) is 32-35oC. The maximum temperature recorded is around 34oC
and the minimum temperature is around 14.1oC. The most appropriate building materials with respect
to temperature in the LPA are bricks and stones which are locally available.

1.4 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
KANAKAPURA
Situated to the (56 km from Bangalore) South of Bangalore is on the right bank of the river Arkavathy.
The place was originally under the Gangas and later under the Cholas, who administered it as a part
of Kilalainad. Later, the Hoysalas made it a major headquarters of province („sime‟). Its name was
changed as Kanakapura from its original Kanakanahalli. But earlier it is mentioned as
„Kanikaranahalli‟ in two Hoysala records dated 1319 and 1317 A.D. from Hachchalu and Nyakanahalli
(Kanakapura tq) villages respectively. Even a recent record dated 1662 A.D by Mysore rulers from
Malagala also mention the place as „Kanikaranahalli‟ being the headquarters of a „sime‟. The local
people universally call it as „Kanikaranahalli‟, which is otherwise corrupted as Kankanahalli, says
Buchanan. He further says Kanikaranahalli has a Tamil origin – „Kani + Karna‟ or „Kanikara‟ signifies
a proprietor of land. „Kanikara‟ literally means an accountant (Karanika) or a teller of fortune. The
fort here is said to have been erected by Jagadeva Raya, the chief of Channapatna. The remains of
the fort can be now seen near the Arkavathy bridge. The town was twice burnt or laid waste by Tipu
Sultan to prevent its being of use to the British army on their march to Shrirangapattana. The place
was conquered by Mysore rulers in 1630 A.D.
The place has temples dedicated to Ranganatha, Valakotamma, Kodandarama, Anjaneya (two), etc.
The Ranganatha temple is a huge structure with a spacious inner Prakara and a gateway having a
Rayagopura. Over the Mukhamantapa along the hara are niches enshrining are in Vijayanagara
style with a cell to the right having images of Rama, Lakshmana and Seetha. Facing this is a shrine
with a seated image of Anjaneya. The Navaranga has a seated image of Vishnu with attributes like
Shankha, Chakra, Gada and Abhaya. Perhaps, this must have been the main deity as it is locally
said that the present image of Srinivasa was installed as the original image was broken. The central
garbhagriha has a ShalaShikhara. There is an Ardhamantapa having niches without images.
Besides the main sanctum is another cell outside to the right having a recent image of Ranganatha.
To the left of the main temple is another shrine of a Padmavati with a small Ardhamantapa and a
Navaranga.
The annual Jatra is held for a span of nine days beginning from Ugadi, when a cattle fair is also held.
The Ganesha temple is an ordinary square structure having an image in Vijayanagara style. In front
of this is a modern Kalyanamantapa. The Kodandarama temple is also an ordinary structure in
Vijayanagar style. The Garbhagriha has a brick and mortar shikara. There is an open
Mukhamantapa in front of the spacious Navaranga. Facing this temple is the KoteAnjaneya, a small
structure. The Kenkeramma temple is about 200 years old with a huge compound. The deity is
P a g e | 10
regarded as Gramadevata, will have special attraction for the devotees during its Jatra held for a
week after Ugadi when about 5000 people assemble. Nearby is another Anjaneya temple whose
image is believed to have been installed by Vyasateertha.
The Valakotamma, another temple of the village deity has an image resembling Durga. The place
has one VeerashaivaMatha called DegulaMatha. It has a stone inscription dated 1667 of
DevarajaWodeyar of Mysore, announcing certain grants made in the Virupasamudra village by one
Timmamma, mother of a Dalavayi to the Matha.
The place has three mosques and the Jamia mosque inside the town is old, perhaps of Tipu‟s time.
There are three Dargahs one ascribed to Hazrath Syed Yakhub Ali, who is said to have lived here
about 200 years ago. The Urus is held at this Dargah during the month of Bakrid when more than
5,000 people assemble. The second Dargah one ascribed to Kambli Peer and the Urus is held
during Ramzan. There is also one more Dargah ascribed to Khan Khan Sab, an official perhaps of
Tipu‟s time and the Urus is held here during Ramzan.
The place has a Roman Catholic church locally called the St. Rita built in 1964. Tippu was running a
huge workshop at Kanakapura with a steel foundry. The place has a Government Silk Filature
Factory founded in 1943. The Rural College here is a good memorial to noted Gandhian constructive
worker S Kariyappa. Malagala (two km from Kanakapura) situated across the Arkavati river (now
within Municipal limits) has a huge temple of Mahadeshwara with a spacious Navaranaga, two
Ardhamantapas and a Garbhagriha. Over the Garbhagriha is a brick and mortar Shikhara with many
stucco images. The pillars of the Navaranga are in later Vijayanagara style. This temple is older
than those in Kanakapura proper. To the left of the main temple is a separate modern shrine of
Parvati.
Outside the temple are two inscriptions. One damaged record dated 1375 A.D. of BukkarayaOdeya‟s
son HariharaOdeya announces one MahasamantaDoddaKallimayaNayaka making some grants to
the temple. The second record dated 1662 of DevarajaWodeyar of Mysore records rich grants for the
maintenance and car festival at the temple of Mahadeshwara and it also mentions „Kanikaianahalli‟,
obviously referring to Kanakapura. The annual Jatra and the car festival are held during Chaitra.
There is also a Sidikamba in wood. Other temples of the place are Morasandamma (Gramadevata)
and one more small shrine of Mahadeshwara. Kallahalli (five km from Kanakapura) is to be
approached by a deviation road to the left from the Kanakapura-Bangalore road. The place is noted
for its huge Srinivasa temple built in Vijayanagara style. The Garbhagriha has a standing image of
Srinivasa (about two meters tall). There is a brick and mortar Shikhara over it. There is a spacious
Navaranga in front of the Ardhamantapa with plain Vijayanagarapillas. The annual Jatraand car
P a g e | 11
festival is held during MaghaPoornima when more than 15 to 20,000 people assemble. The village
also has an Anjaneya temple. There is also a choultry managed by the Dharmasthala trust.
HAROHALLI
Located on the main road (16 km from Kanakapura) appears to have gained prominence under the
Vijayanagara rulers. The place name is referred as „Haruvahalli‟ in a record dated 1532 A.D. from the
same place. This must have been an old Agrahara granted to the Brahmanas. The place has
temples dedicated to Arunachaleshwara, Krishnaswami, Basaveshwara (old), Anjaneya, etc. The
Arunachaleshwara temple is a huge structure with a spacious inner Prakara having many small
shrines such as Someshwara, Narayana, Lakshmi and Subrahmanya. The Garbhagriha has a
Shivalingaperphas of the Hoysala times and also has a Shikhara in Dravidian style. The Navaranga
has four Vijayanagara pillars and all of them have fine relief sculptures. There is an outer Mantapa
said to have been added by the Subedars of Haider and Tippu, SuryanarayanaIyer and
VenkateshIyer respectively. Inside the Prakara, there are a few broken images of Hoysala
workmanship. To the left of the main temple is the shrine of Ammanavaru (Parvati). The entrance to
the temple is from the south which has a tall brick Rayagopura in Vijayanagara style and has many
stucco sculptures on Shiava themes. This temple is in an area described as fort built or expanded
during Tipu‟s times.
The Krishnaswamy temple seen in the fort area has been totally renovated. The Garbhagriha and
the Ardhamantapa have some later Vijayanagara features. There are two cells on either sides of the
Garbhagriha and one to its right has an image of Lakshmi in it. The other to the left has an image of
Venkatesha standing with Shridevi and Bhudevi. This must be the image referred to a Vijayanagara
record found at the western wasteweir of Vengallayyanakere (outskirts) and is dated 1532 A.D.
issued by ViraPratapaAchutaraya. It states that God Tiruvengadanatha was brought to Haruvahalli
by an official VaradaTimmaya who also made land grants to the deity. In the outskirts of the village,
amidst fields is an old Bhimeshwara temple of later Vijayanagara times. The pillars of the Navaranga
have no sculptures but are square with Vijayanagara brackets atop. There are impressive
Dwarapalas in relief at the entrance of the Garbhagriha. The shining Shivalinga rises above the
ground level from the centre of a circular hidden (underground) Panipeetha. To the left of the main
temple is the small shrine of Ammanavaru. The village proper has two mosques in recent style.
P a g e | 12
SATHANUR
Situated at a distance of 10 km from Magadi has been mentioned as „Sathanur‟ in a record dated
1497 A.D. from the same place. The place has temples dedicated to Kabbalamma, Maruti,
Svayambeshwara, VithalaGopalaswami, Shanidevaru, etc. Kabbalamma temple has a deity made
out of clay. The temple is built in Vijayanagara style with octagonal as well as square pillars. The
image of Maruti, about two meters tall, is associated with noted theorist on Hindustani Music
PundarikaVithala, the celebrated author of Ragamala, Ragamanjari, SadragaChandrodaya, etc., who
hailed from this place. The Svayambeshwara temple outside the village amidst fields is perhaps the
earliest monument built in early Vijayanagara style. Interestingly there are a few cylindrical pillars
with cushions atop in typical Ganga style. Inside the temple are placed images of Vishnu (two)
Ganapati and Durga (small). The Garbhagriha has a brick mortar Shikhara in Vijayanagara style.
One inscription stone lying to the south-east corner of the temple is badly damaged but mentions one
official Manchayya, son of Chandra Suri (perhaps a JainaPandita) granting lands to one individual
HiriyaMallinatha of Satanur in the originally of Lakshmi.
One of the striking monuments of the place is the VithalaGopalaswamy with an ordinary structure but,
an impresiveHoysala image. The black stone image of the deity is about one metre tall with two
hands, both placed on the waist. The right hand holds a mouth tied with a rope. The god is flanked
by consorts who hold a Chauri in one hand and a lotus in the other. The Prabhavali or halo has in the
upper portion well curved Dashavatara in relief amidst MakaraTorana. The inside wall of the temple
has a Nagari inscription dated 1497, which announces certain grants made by the children of one
official TirumalaSomayaji of Kaliyuru to God Vithala of Sathanur. Apparently PundarikaVithala might
have been named after this deity. Hujigallu, an interior place situated on a deviation road (four km)
from the Sathanur-Magadi road, is a place with pre-historic antiquities. There is an irregular country
road to reach the place. The place is full of dolmens situated on the verge of a hill. The hill has many
inaccesible caves. On some of the boulders at the foot of the hill there are some Jaina images and
inscriptions not so legible and they must be Nishidhi memorials. The place is fit for pre-historic
excavations.
ACHCHALU
Situated 10 km from Kanakapura and can be approached form a deviation road before Sathanur from
Kanakapura. The place name is found mentioned as Achala, headquarters of a nadu in a hoysala
record of 1318 A.D. (of Ballala III) from the same place. The village has a tall hillock having an
P a g e | 13
ordinary cave on in enshrining a Shivalinga called locally as the GaviMuneshwara temple. The annual
Jatra here is held during MakaraSankranti. The village proper has interesting antiquities all over and
particularly within the precincts of the Hanumantha temple. The Hanumantha image in profile is about
one meter tall and the god holds a branch of a tree in one of his hands. Nearby is a Basaveshwara
temple over a small hillock, below which is many hero-stones. There are in all, three inscriptions in
the area around the Anjanaya temple. One lying in a field is illegible but refers to the rule of
HoysalaNarasimha. The second inscription, also found in a field, states that when HoysalaBallal III
was ruling (1318 A.D.), one Maradeva of Sigalanadu made some grants to one Allappanayaka, son
of Madappa of Kanikaranahalli (modern Kanakapura) for the maintenance of a temple at Achalanadu.
The last record also found in a field is damaged, but tries to say that under Ballala III one
Mahapradhana Someya‟s son Javideva made certain grants to Pattanaswamy Setti, etc.
ARALALU
Situated on the banks of the Arkavathi (3 km from Kanakapura) appears to be an ancient place with
political importance especially in early Vijayanagara times when nearly a dozen hero-stones in the
places are taken into account. In a record from Nayakanahalli dated 1295 AD of HoysalaBallala II the
place is mentioned as “Arulahalu” under Singalanadu in a later record dated 1312 AD from the same
village. The place was the headquarters of Singalanada Prabhus. One record (Kn 97) also speaks of
“Arulahalu Rajya”. All the hero-stones are found in fields around the village and of these one in the
field of one Chikkamarigowda has a horse rider wielding a javelin, beautifully wrought in relief. In
same field remains of an ancient Shiva temple have been unearthed with a huge Shivalinga, perhaps
of the Ganga times. The Narayanaswamy temple here is a considerably big and its outer Mantapa
has fine pillars in Vijayanagara style with relief sculptures on them. In a field called
NarayanswamyKodugeJameenu is an inscription dated 1393 AD. This states that under King
ShangaAppa of Sigalanadu one ArulahalaMaragudana‟s son ChikkaAyivanna made certain land
grants to God Narayana (Kn 100). The annual Jatra is held here in Phalguna. The Venkataswamy
temple here is considerably big and old, and a Jatra is also held here. The Basaveswara, Maramma
and the Kollapuramma are the other temples and shrines of the place, and behind the last named are
two hero stones in a field. There is one more hero stone enshrined in a slab Mantapa across the
river, and two more hero stones in a nearby field. There is also a Basavanna shrine there.
In the Harijana colony is a hero stone illustrating a terrible war scene. Of the other two inscriptions
from the place, the one in the Agrahara to the north-east of the village is dated 1400 AD speaking of
the strengthening the sluice of the local Marasamudra Tank by a Minister Channa Vodeyar under
Hariahara – II of the Vijayanagar when Malla Raya‟s son Narayanadeva was ruling at Arulahala. The
P a g e | 14
other inscriptions at the same village on a stone in the yard of Muddamma Ganiga dated 1390 AD
states that Siddaya, the Minister of Bukka Raya‟s Son ChannaVodeyar accepted the rules of
Arulahala in the Sigalanadu and further states that Marappa, son of AralahalaSiddaya, was wounded
in the Hegabe hill. The place also has a Gadduge of Manteswamy.
KABBAL
A border village in the taluk (14 km from Kanakapura) is noted for a vertical steep hill resembling a
Shivalinga. The place is mentioned as Kabbahala in Hoysala record by Ballala – III from the same
place. At the foot of the hill is the village with a temple locally called Kabbalamma. It appears to have
been a flourishing marketing centre in that time. The deity here is referred as „Kalikadevi‟ in a
Vijayanagara record from the same place. This temple is an ordinary structure in Vijayanagara style
with square pillars without any figures. The Garbhagriha is an ordinary brick and mortar Shikara of
recent times. Besides this is a Basaveswara temple (modern). The Jatra of Kabbalamma is held
during Shivaratri for a span of one week and more than 20000 people assembled. Special poojas are

OVERLAPPING VILLAGES WITH BMICA(Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Area)
The KPA has been declared as per the government order Number
Na Aa E: 496: MIB: 1998 dated 12-07-1999 &

Na Aa E: 62: BemRupra: 2006,
87 villages has been declared as per section 4a of KTCP act 1961, were in the villages Uttari,
Naganayakanahalli & K.Choodalli of Bangalore South Taluk have also been notified by the
government for BMICAPA. These three villages are overlapping in both the planning authorities & in
this regard correspondence with BMICAPA has been made requesting their opinion to delete these
villages from BMICAPA as for these three villages, the IMP has been prepared & as per that the KPA
has issued many planning permissions but BMICAPA has opined that they will retain three villages as
their notification was made quite earlier to KPA. With all these details KPA submitted a proposal to
BMRDA & In turn BMRDA already requested the government to take immediate decision in respect of
these three villages. So far government has not any decision in this regard hence master plan is
prepared including these three villages as per the earlier notification for final approval of the master
plan.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The Master Plan provides scope to redefine circulation pattern and landuse of the LPA in accordance
with the present trend of development. Existing problems of the study area has been addressed and
best possible solution has been provided for them.
The Limitations of the Master Plan process is the lack of primary household data and primary traffic
survey data.

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE AND ECONOMIC BASE
2.1 DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTER
Demography is the study of human population with respect to size, composition, spatial distribution,
and changes in the populationthat occur over time. Future growth scenarios, infrastructure
requirements and utilisation of human resource for different sectors depend on the population of an
area. Hence study of population – size, composition and distribution is important to Planning.
Size of the population gives an overall dimension of the physical environment and supplies a basic
yardstick for the estimation of space requirements for various categories of land use.
Studies of population composition extend this analysis to qualitative considerations like age groups,
household sizes, income levels, and needs of each segment of the life cycle. They can be used to
assist in determining the space required for facilities for all segments of the population.
Analysis of population distribution provides clues as to how these various land uses and facilities
should be located in the urban area.
The population of Kanakapura LPA, as per census 2011 and other thematic data from census 2001
has been studied and analysed to arrive at future growth scenarios and determination of
infrastructural requirements.
KARNATAKA and BMR: FACTS and FIGURES
Karnataka State‟s population according to 2011 Census is 6.11 crores (Table 1). It is observed that
(a) the percentage growth in population has reduced from 17.25% in 1991-2001 to 15.67% in 2001-
2011. (b) the urban percentage growth in population has increased from 29 per cent in 1991-2001 to
31.27% in 2001-2011, and (c) the urban population in Bangalore Urban District has increased from
88 per cent in 2001 to 90.94% in 2011.
P a g e | 21
The BMRDA area includes Bangalore Urban and Rural Districts. As per census 2011, the population
is around 105, 76,167 (105 lakhs). The percentage rural population in the area has reduced from 27
per cent in 2001 to 15.02% in 2011 and the percentage urban population has increased from 73% in
2001 to 84.98% in 2011. Hence, the area has gone through a great deal of urbanization.
Population of the BMRDA area represented 16% of Karnataka‟s population in 2001 and represents
17.3% of Karnataka‟s population in 2011. The rural population of BMR has decreased from 7% of
total rural population of Karnataka in 2001 to 4.2% of total rural population of Karnataka in 2011.
Whereas, urban population which was 34 per cent of Karnataka‟s total urban population in 2001 is
now 8.11%. The growth of the rural and urban population in 2011 is 7.63% and 31.27% respectively.
The urban and rural population figures of Karnataka, Bangalore Urban District, Bangalore Rural
District and BMRDA area are presented in the table below.

It can be noted that the population growth in the town is less which can be attributed to lack of
economic activity and growth generators in the LPA.
POPULATION DISTRIBUTION IN KANAKAPURA LPA
The Kanakapura LPA is composed of 86 villages and 1 town. The present population of the LPA
villages (census 2011) is 126,916. Total population of the LPA, including Kanakapura TMC is
180,931. Figure 2 below shows the population growth in the LPA from1961 to 2011.

It can be seen that there is a negative growth rate in the LPA. The trend suggests out-migration which
can be attributed to the lack of economic activities in the area.
The table below shows a comparison between the population growth in the BMR, the Bangalore
urban, Bangalore Rural+ Ramanagara and the Kanakapura LPA.

It can be seen that the growth of population in the Kanakapura LPA has not been significant as
compared to the other areas of the BMR. The decadal growth rate of Kanakapura LPA is 6.25%. The
slow growth rate may be attributed to the slow pace of industrial development in the LPA. The LPA is
P a g e | 25
rich in agricultural produce but the agro-industry has not been supported. Migration has been a major
trend in many villages in the LPA
POPULATION DENSITY IN THE LPA
The total area of the Kanakapura LPA is 412 sq. km (approx.). The figure below shows the population
density in the Kanakapura LPA.

Figure 2.5: Population density 2 in Kanakapura LPA; Source: Census
It can be seen that Kanakapura TMC has a high density of 145 persons/ Ha3 while the population
density in rest of the LPA, expressed in Hoblis is extremely low, ranging in the order of 3 to 5 persons
per hectare. The population density of the Ramanagara district is 30 persons per Hectare. The low
density is attributed to the clustered growth in the outer BMR.
The Structure Plan 2031 advocates clustered growth around exiting growth nodes; hence the future
scenario for the LPA would also follow the present trend of concentrated growth. However, new
growth centres would be promoted in the LPA around Harohalli and Sathanur to create a spur of
economic activities.

URBAN AND RURAL POPULATION IN THE LPA
The urban and rural population distribution can be seen in the figure below. The urban population is
contributed by the Kanakapura TMC while the population in the villages constitute the rural
population. It can be seen that 30% of the population lives the urban areas while rural population
constitute 70% of the total population in the LPA.

The share of population in the LPA having access to urban facilities should be increased, especially
around the future growth nodes – Harohalli and Sathanur.
SEX RATIO
Sex ratio is defined as number of females per 1000 males. The sex ratio of the Kanakapura LPA has
been shown in context of the larger framework. It can be seen that the sex ratio in Karnataka is 968 4
females per 1000 males, while that of the BMR is 935. Sex ratio is alarmingly low in the Kanakapura
Town where it is 923 females per 1000 males. The table below shows a comparative list of sex ratios
according to census 2011. Ramanagara ranks 18th among the 30 districts of Karnataka in terms of
sex ratio.

SEX RATIO 968 976 941 923

The reasons behind low sex ratio in the urban areas may be the influx of male workers from the
surrounding areas in search of job. However, the ratio is also skewed in the overall Kanakapura
Taluk, indicating poor development.
CHILD POPULATION(0-6 years)
The proportion of child population in an area determines the educational infrastructure demand.
According to census 2011 data the 9.38% of the total population of the Ramanagara district belongs
to age group 0-6 years. The table below shows a comparative table of the child population proportion
in Bangalore, Bangalore rural and Ramanagara.

group 0-6 years
SOURCE: census 2011
It can be seen that the proportion of population in the 0-6 year category is almost similar in all the
three areas, though actual population count is much higher in Bangalore district. Hence the education
sector needs to be promoted in the LPA.
LITERACY RATE
According to census data 2011, the literacy rate in Ramanagara district is 69.2% which is 9% higher
than that of 2001. Literacy rate among men is 76.92% compared to 69.88% in 2001 an that among

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX
The human development index data, according to Karnataka Human Development Report 2005
shows that Bangalore Rural district has a human development index of 0.653 7 . The table below
shows the composition of HD8I in Bangalore Urban and Bangalore Rural district.
7
Karnataka Human Development Report 2005

The HDI for districts is computed on the basis of the methodology used in UNDP Human Development Report 1999. Due to the non-
availability of data on adult literacy rates for 2001, literacy rates for 7 years plus, the combined gross enrolment ratios of primary and
secondary level education (class I-XII) have been substituted. Hence, there is element of double counting in the age group 6-18 years for
educational status. It may be noted that due to changes in methodology, i.e. adopting the logarithm method in computation, there has been
a sudden increase in the values of the income index. Another important factor is that changing the base year from 1980-81 to 1993-94 for
estimation of GDP at constant prices for India and the states (introduced by the CSO) has contributed to higher values of income indices for
1991-92 and 2001-02. In Karnataka, the estimates of life expectancy at birth for districts and the state have been made on the basis of the
regression method involving the crude birth rate, the crude death rate, the rate of natural increase in population and the infant mortality rate

2.2 ECONOMIC BASE: INTRODUCTION
Kanakapura Taluk has been classified as “Most backward” Taluk in the BMR 9. The population of
Kanakapura LPA has grown from 1.7 lakhs in 2001 to 1.8 lakhs in 2011. The net growth in population
over the last decade is ten thousand, the decadal growth rate being 6.25% and the annual growth
rate being 0.58%. The annual growth rate of Bangalore urban district however is 5.1%10. Needless to
say, the growth of the LPA has been slow. It is evident that the intensity and scale of economic
activities in the LPA are in tandem with this pace of growth.
Under the framework of the draft RSP 2031, a scenario of 75-25 population sharing between the core
and the outside is being aimed for. Since this includes inducing a considerable amount of population
from the core to the outside, there is a need to provide an economic impetus to the LPA.
Bangalore has been experiencing rapid development because of accelerated industries and
economic activities. This has resulted in growth of congestion of Bangalore, because of which there is
tremendous pressure on infrastructure. Land is becoming scarce and hence costly day by day.
Investors are opting to move outwards from Bangalore to the nearest town. Investors prefer
Kanakapura Taluk as their investment destination. Since Harohalli is nearer to Bangalore and
already has a developed industrial base, more and more projects are proposed in this location. Thus
Kanakapura Taluk is expected to register faster economic growth.
These initiatives taken viz, development of infrastructure & housing facilities in mega scale have
enthused major investors to opt Kanakapura taluk for their investments.
WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION
The BMR RSP 2031 states the work participation rate of the BMR as a little over 41%. The workforce
participation rate of the Kanakapura town is however 17.5%11. The industrial work participation rate of
the BMR is considered to be 21%12.WPR13 of Kanakapura Taluk is 49%.

was 38.1%, while the percentage of marginal workers was 11.1%. Non-workers constituted 50.9% of
the total population. The figure shows the workforce distribution in the Kanakapura Taluk.
Performance of the government employment programmes such as the PMRY, MGNREGA etc should
be analysed in the LPA to uncover the cause of unemployment in the LPA. Economic activities
should be introduced to combat unemployment and reduce out-migration.
DISTRIBUTION OF MALE AND FEMALE WORKERS
The figure below shows the gender wise distribution of the total workforce in the Kanakapura Taluk. It
can be observed that 62% of the total workforce is composed of males while the female share is
much lower comprising of just 38%

As seen in the chart above, the proportion of male „main workers‟ is almost double that of the female
„main workers‟. Women are more marginally employed or unemployed than their male counterparts.
Measures should hence be taken at policy and proposal level to augment the share of female
workforce in the economy.
DISTRIBUTION OF WORKFORCE IN URBAN AREAS: KANAKAPURA TMC

The Kanakapura TMC constitutes the urban area in the LPA. The figure below shows the workforce
distribution in the TMC. It can be seen that 35% of the total workers are main workers, 2% are
marginal workers and 63% are non-

The gender wise distribution of workers in each category shows that, male workers constitute the
majority among Main workers. In the marginal worker category, the population of men is slightly
higher than that of women. There is a huge population in the non-worker category; clearly depicting
that unemployment rate is high among both men and women.

WORKFORCE DISTRIBUTION IN RURAL AREAS

It is interesting to note that total workers constitute 48% of the total population, higher than that of the
urban areas (37% in Kanakapura TMC).

Kanakapura Taluk is classified in Zone 2 i.e. potential taluks for textile development, under the
Karnataka Suvarna Vastra Neethi- 2008-2013 (Textile policy), which entitles it to receive normal
incentives for textile development. Hence, sericulture can be developed as a foremost sector using
the incentives of this scheme.
At present however there exists a cocoon market and an area earmarked for Silk industries in the
Kanakapura TMC. Industrial activity is however extremely meagre.

COMMERCE AND RETAIL
Trade and commerce is mainly concentrated along the major roads of the town. Dense commercial
establishments exist along the NH 209 near the KSRTC bus stand and also along the State Highway
in parts. Commercial activities mainly consist of retail activities and few whole sale activities. There
exists an Agricultural Produce market along the NH 209 which is a daily market used for exchange of
farm produce.
A commercial centre is absent in Kanakapura town.Since Kanakapura is the only town with urban
facilities in the LPA; a regional commercial centre should be located which can amalgamate functions
of a retail as well as a wholesale market.

EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMES
Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana (PMRY)
The District Industries Center (DIC) is conducting self-employment programmes in the Taluk mainly
to provide self-employment opportunities to unemployed educated persons. In the recent times,
Under PMRY scheme, the number of persons seeking assistance has increased substantially. During
the year 2003-04, 237 cases were recommended to Banks, of which only 106 cases were
sanctioned.
During 2005-06, 211 persons received assistance out of 439 cases recommended. There is a need
to encourage more number of persons to take up self-employment activities under the scheme by
increasing the allocation of funds. The details are furnished in the Table

bodies constituted the other major works.
PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC OFFICES
Kanakapura is a class II town so public and semi-public buildings are few and dispersed. The Taluk
office forms a central node around which schools, colleges, hospitals and commercial activities are
centred. The BWSSB office and the BESCOM electric substation and office are the major public and
semi pubic offices in Kanakapura Town.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Banks are important financial institutions that are indispensible for economic growth. Kanakapura
has fairly good banking network. There are 21 nationalised banks, 5 grameen banks, one DCC and
one KSCARD bank, 22 credit cooperatives and one non-credit cooperative in the LPA.

CREDIT FACILITIES
NABARD, the apex Development Bank, has been preparing District-wise Potential linked Credit
plans (PLPs), with a view to bringing about a qualitative improvement in the credit planning exercise
undertaken annually by banks.
The Potential Linked Credit Plan looks at the resource endowments of the District, the present stage
of development in Agriculture & Rural sectors and estimates the potentials for rural economic
activities both in physical and financial terms. It also takes into consideration the present state of the
infrastructure of the District, institutional support available, the policy/thrust being given to various
sectors of the economy, etc. while estimating the realizable potential for various sectors.
Potential linked plan (PLP), prepared by NABARD for Bangalore Rural District projects a credit
requirement of Rs.462.48 crores of which Rs.41.36 crores (9%) were for non farm sector and balance
amount for other sectors.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Major strength of Ramanagara District in general, and Kanakapura taluk in particular, is

derived from the reputation of Bangalore as a preferred global destination, particularly for hi-
tech, knowledge industries and land-intensive industrial projects.
The erstwhile Bangalore houses a substantial percentage of Fortune 500 Companies and
other MNCs in diverse sectors such as apparel, automobile, food processing, machine tools,
precision engineering, software, IT enabled services, etc.
The State Cabinet has approved the Mega Plan envisaged by Bangalore Metropolitan
Regional Development Authority (BMRDA) for infrastructure development of Bangalore Urban
& Rural and Ramanagara Districts. Some industry groups are expected to be re-located from

The Mega Plan proposes a network of 8-lane / 6-lane 734 km. roads comprising 284 km.
Satellite Towns Ring Road (STRR), 188 km. Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) and 262 km.

The existing Bangalore –Dindigal Road which passes through the Taluk has been upgraded
to National Highway (NH 209) by the National Highway Authority of India and has potential for
investment in industry and tourism related projects.
The Bangalore International Airport is about 75 km from Kanakapura, is likely to provide a vital
link to international destinations enhancing the overall economic development.
The existing domestic Airport at HAL, Bangalore is 45 km away.
The flow of investment into Bangalore (Urban) will be constrained due to non-availability /
expensive land.
Ramanagara District will be the emerging investment destination for industrial segments such
as pharmaceuticals, automobiles & auto components, aerospace, apparel, food
processing, machine tools, floriculture, precision components, tooling, etc., because of
the proximity to Bangalore and due to the constraint on the availability of land in Bangalore
Urban District.
Kanakapura is known for Granite quarrying and processing and the products have export
potential.
Ramanagara District is covered under Agri Export Zone (AEZ) for gherkins, rose onion and
flowers. The climate of the Taluk suits for cultivation of these commodities.
Ramanagara District including the Taluk ranks third in milk production in the State.
Continuous market availability for milk products in Bangalore
Kanakapura Taluk is rich in attractive tourist spots viz, Sangama and Makedatu.
Scope for improvements at Sangama and Chunche falls, construction of hanging bridge at
Makedatu.
Opportunity for attracting investment in good holiday resorts, recreation clubs, hotels,
ethnic food courts, community / convention centers, nursing homes etc.
Scope for commercial exploitation of biotechnology.

ISSUES
Agriculture is the primary activity in the LPA and the yield is high, but in order to induce
population industrial base has to be created. Care has to be taken in the process to conserve
precious agricultural land.
Industrial activity is concentrated in the Harohalli region while activity in the rest of the LPA is
extremely low.
Even though earmarked provision for sericulture industries exists in Kanakapura town, its
growth and productivity is slow .
The Kanakapura Town lacks a commercial centre.
There is a inadequate power infrastructure in the LPA for large industrial setup.
Local entrepreneurship is lagging in the LPA.
There is no perennial water source in the LPA. Ground water sources are depleting fast -
hence water availability is a major constraint of development.
Transport infrastructure in the LPA is poor with poor maintenance of major arterial roads.

CHAPTER 3
HOUSING AND URBAN POOR
3.1 HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
Housing comprises the largest land use component in any urban planning. Further, it is a multi-
faceted and multi-dimensional activity. Today it is understood that housing transcends much beyond
the concept of physical planning parameters and embraces socio-economic components as well.
Good housing is linked to good health and nutrition, better employment opportunity, better living and
quality of life.
Housing is certainly a basic human need. No single type of housing can serve the varied needs of
today‟s diverse households. Whether a home owner or renter, senior citizen, school aged child or
disabled adult, all residents need an affordable, comfortable and safe place to live. A place is better
to live and work when a variety of appealing and affordable housing options exist.
Affordable housing has a positive impact on educational outcomes, health, and wealth accumulation.
Hence housing initiatives must be viewed in the back ground of overall economic development and
the needs of the people. The State Housing Policy aims to provide “Affordable Housing for All”. The
poorer sections of the society often do not have access to formal land markets and access to
financial institutions. Supplementing the condition is the severe mismatch of demand and supply
arising from dynamic socio-economic conditions and inadequate land policies which make affordable
housing scarce.
Providing housing is not limited to provision of a built structure. The Karnataka Housing and Habitat
policy, 2009 therefore advocates a „Habitat‟ approach to housing, which translates into access to
basic services such as water, sanitation, clean fuel, electricity, healthcare, education and livelihood.
Hence the aspects of water supply, sanitation and waste disposal should be taken into account
during spatial planning of residential areas.

RESIDENTIAL LAND USE IN KANAKAPURA LPA
The area under residential land use in the major settlements in the Kanakapura LPA is shown in the
table below. The total area under residential Landuse in Kanakapura LPA is 550.87 Ha which is
approximately 1.34% of the total area. However, majority of the LPA is undeveloped; hence the
developed residential area forms 6.8% of the total developed area.

HOUSING SCHEMES IN KANAKAPURA LPA
ASHRAYA SITES SCHEME AND ASHRAYA HOUSING SCHEME
The Ashraya scheme is a housing scheme introduced by the Govt. of Karnataka to aid people in
economically weaker section, in both urban and rural areas to avail improved housing through
financial assistance in the form of loans and subsidies. The maximum value for financial assistance
including both loan and subsidy is 20,000 in rural areas and 25,000 in urban areas. Under the
Ashraya rural housing sites scheme free house sites may be distributed to the houseless
beneficiaries of the EWS in rural areas. The tables below shows a list of housing sites allotted and
houses constructed under Ashraya scheme in Kanakapura Taluk.

It can be observed that a total of 1062 sites have been allotted under the Ashraya scheme. 174 sites
have been allotted to scheduled castes and 119 to scheduled tribes, while the rest have been allotted
to other castes. 617 houses have also been constructed under these schemes. 153 houses have
been for scheduled castes, 12 for scheduled tribes and 452 for others.
INDIRA AWAS YOJANA
Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) is a flagship scheme of the Ministry of Rural Development to provide
houses to the poor in the rural areas. The objective of the Indira Awaas Yojana is primarily to help
construction/up gradation of dwelling units of members of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, freed
bonded labourers, minorities in the below poverty line category and other below poverty line non-
SC/ST rural households by providing them a lump sum financial assistance.

SPECIAL HOUSING SCHEME FOR FISHERMEN

Houses have also been constructed under ‘Special Housing Scheme for Fishermen’ in the LPA. A
total of 4 units have been constructed according to government data , hence it can be assumed that
the impact of the scheme in the LPA is considerably low.

INTEGRATED HOUSING AND SLUM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
The basic objective of Integrated Housing and Slum Development programme is the holistic slum
development with a healthy and enabling urban environment by providing adequate shelter and basic
infrastructure facilities to the slum dwellers who do not possess adequate shelter and reside in
dilapidated conditions as identified by the Urban Local Body.

3.2 HOUSING SHORTAGE
The total no of census houses in Ramanagara district is 3,51,784 out of which 33,840 are vacant and
3,17,944 are occupied. The total population of Ramanagara district is 10,82,739 2. The number of
households in the district is 2,35,378 3. It can be seen that housing shortage does not exist in
terms of number of houses as per census data of Ramanagara District; hence primary housing
survey is required to estimate the housing shortage in the LPA.
However, census data suggests that the „housing indicators‟ performance (facilities in dwelling unit,
no of habitable rooms per person‟) in the LPA is poor, implying poor condition and congestion in
dwelling unit which is an indicator of housing shortage.
There is an increasing trend of township development in the LPA. Private developers have entered
the housing market with elaborate housing schemes. Residential townships are presently under
construction near Kaggalipura and Harohalli in properties abutting the NH 2094. Needless to say,
industrial development and proximity to Bangalore will increase population in the LPA and would
augment the current trend of residential township development.
Plate: Upcoming housing projects in Kanakapura LPA
3.3 URBAN POOR AND SLUMS
The total slum area in the Kanakapura LPA is 16 Acres and 31 gunta. There are 13 slums in total out
of which only 8 are registered. The ownership and the details of the declared slums are specified in
the table below.

ISSUES
1. PROVISION OF HOUSING FOR INDUCED POPULATION: Induced population constitute a

major proportion of the future population of the LPA. As such, the present housing supply is
inadequate for the future growth scenario.
2. CONDITION OF DWELLING UNITS: Condition of dwelling unit is poor in many parts of the
LPA. As such they would not contribute to the housing stock in future.
3. Low „habitable rooms per person‟ in the LPA suggesting housing shortage.
4. SLUM IMPROVEMENT: Slum Improvement Schemes have to be introduced in the LPA to

recognise the slums and provide for their upgradation.

EXISTING LANDUSE AND TRANSPORTATION
4.1 EXISTING LAND UTILISATION
The Kanakapura LPA is comprised of part of the Kanakapura Taluk and the Bangalore South Taluk. It
is a part of the Ramanagara district. The major growth nodes in the LPA are Kanakapura town, which
is a class III census town, Harohalli which has been identified as an industrial growth node due to its
spatial proximity to Bidadi and Ramanagaram town, Sathanur which has been identified as a potential
growth centre and is the location of the upcoming township and Kaggalipura in the north, which has
the potential of being developed into the fourth node in the LPA. Besides these nodes the rest of the
LPA has sparse development, as their economic mainstay is agriculture.
Tables below show the existing land utilisation and landuse in the LPA.

GRAND TOTAL 313.94 3.13 100%
Residential land use
The Residential area contributes to around 68.90 per cent of the developed area. These are mainly
concentrated in wards 3 to 9. The older areas have higher density when compared to the new
extensions. These wards have organic growth pattern with irregular plot sizes and irregular pattern of
roads. The newer extension shows a regular grid iron pattern of growth.
Commercial Land Use

The Commercial area is only 4.75 per cent of Kanakapura; commercial activities are along the NH
and SH passing through the town. These commercial establishments cater to the day to day needs of
P a g e | 71
the people and mostly consist of petty shops. Other daily commercial setups are distributed sparsely
in various wards. Most of the main roads have developed mixed land use.
Industrial Land use

There is negligible (less than 1 per cent) industrial area in the town. This mostly includes the silk
industries, small scale industrial layout and granite industry. These are distributed along some main
roads of the town.
Public and semi-public Land use

Around 7.15 per cent of the area belongs to Public & Semi Public use, which mostly consists of
schools, rural college, temples, hospital and government department buildings. Most of the buildings
are located along the East-West axis abutting the main roads in the central portion of the town.
Smaller areas of public and semi-public use are found all along the residential areas in the form of
schools and temples.
Parks/Playgrounds/Open Spaces
Parks, Playgrounds & Open spaces is around 1.78percent of the total area. There are no organized
parks in Kanakapura. Hence the playgrounds and open spaces some of which are burial ground
contribute to the area. The area under play grounds is bare minimum. The old areas having high
density do not have lung spaces. Incidental open spaces are found due to the irregular growth pattern
of the town.
Utilities and services

Utilities and Services include water tank area, substation, etc., contributing to 2.69 per cent of the
town area.
Traffic and transportation

The area under this land use accounts to 13.96percent of the total area of the town. The NH 209 and
SH 92 form the main connectivity to the town. The road pattern shows a hierarchy of road widths
varying from less than 3m lanes to 9m cross roads and 12m main roads. The condition of the roads in
the old parts of the town is moderate. The location of the bus depot/terminal adds to the congestion
along the road. The NH and SH have high mixed traffic flow.

4.2 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION: INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the transportation scenario in Kanakapura Local Planning Area. Key issues like
road network and its characteristics, impact of enhanced regional connectivity due to formation of the
STRR, PRR, ITRR, its potentials and drawbacks have been discussed here. 2.23%of the total area in
the LPA is devoted to transportation.
REGIONAL LINKAGES
ROAD LINKAGE
The Kanakapura LPA is well connected to the various urban centres of the region. It is intercepted by
the NH 209 which connects Bangalore to Mysore. Traffic volume on this road is low as major traffic in
the Bangalore-Mysore corridor flows through SH 17 (Mysore road). The PRR, the STRR and the IRR
are proposed regional roads that pass through the LPA. The PRR is the northernmost road in the
LPA which connects to NICE corridor in the north-west and the Bannerghatta Main Road in the east.
The IRR connects Harohalli to Bidadi in the west and Anekal in the east. The STRR connects
Kanakapura town with Ramanagaram town in the west and Anekal in the east.
LINKAGE OF IMPORTANT GROWTH NODES IN THE KANAKAPURA LPA: HAROHALLI
Harohalli is intercepted by NH209, which connects the town to Bangalore in north and Kanakapura in
the south. Harohalli is connected to Bidadi by a regional road, which joins the Mysore Road (SH 17)
near Bidadi town. The Anekal-Harohalli road connects it to Anekal town in the east. The Maralwadi
road is another regional road in the town that connects Harohalli to Dhodda Maralwadi.
LINKAGE OF IMPORTANT GROWTH NODES IN THE KANAKAPURA LPA: KANAKAPURA TOWN
Kanakapura town is a class III census town. It is intercepted by the NH 209 which connects the town
to Harohalli in the north and Sathanur in the south. The SH 3 connects Kanakapura to Ramanagara
in the west and Hunasanahalli in the east. The SH-92 (Kanakapura-Sangam road) is another important
regional road.
P a g e | 77
LINKAGE OF IMPORTANT GROWTH NODES IN THE KANAKAPURA LPA: SATHANUR
Sathanur is a village that lies in the southern end of the LPA. The NH 209 connects it to Kanakapura
in the north and Malavalli in the south. Sathanur is connected to Channapatna in the north and to
Cauvery river valley and the elephant corridor in the south.
4.3 RAIL LINKAGE
There is no rail
linkage at present in
the LPA. The draft
RSP 2031 however
proposed a railway
corridor in the region,
connecting Sathanur,
Kanakapura and
Harohalli with
Bangalore.
SEAPORT
The nearest seaport is at Mangalore, which is about 380 km and Chennai Seaport is around 415 km
from Kanakapura Town. The existing Mangalore Port is an all-weather port-providing gateway for
exports & import trade throughout the year.
AIRPORT
The nearest airport at present is the Bengaluru International Airport, Bangalore at a distance of
about 90 kms from Kanakapura Town.
P a g e | 78
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN KANAKAPURA LPA
BUS TRANSPORT SERVICE
Major travel demand between Bangalore and Kanakapura is catered by KSRTC buses which forms
the major mode of transport in the LPA. KSRTC bus stands are located in Kanakapura town,
Harohalli and Sathanur. Private bus service is also present in Kanakapura Town and Harohalli
connecting the villages and towns of the LPA with Bangalore.
Plate 7.1: KSRTC bus stand in Kanakapura
PARATRANSIT SERVICE
Para-transit or Intermediate-transit service like Auto-rickshaw service exists in Kanakapura Town and
Harohalli. Both intra-settlement and inter-settlement service is available. Organised auto stand is
located in Kanakapura town beside the KSRTC bus stand.

CONNECTIVITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND ROAD DENSITY
The connectivity of the region is measured in terms of length of roads in km per sq km of area. The
road density of the Planning area is 0.948 km per sq. km of area, compared to the national value of
.115 km of road per Sqkm1.
The World Bank report for Rural accessibility index says Rural access is measured in terms of no of
people within 2kms (walking distance of 20-25 min) of an all-weather road as a percentage of the
total rural population. An “all-weather road” is a road that is accessible all year round by the prevailing
means of rural transport (typically a pick-up or a truck which does not have four-wheel-drive).
Occasional interruptions of short duration during inclement weather (e.g., heavy rainfall) are
accepted, particularly on lightly trafficked roads.
“The relationship between transport and poverty reduction is neither straightforward nor automatic.
However it is apparent that improvements in transport have the greatest impact on poor people when
made in concert with activities in other sectors. It is similarly apparent that development in other
sectors will be hampered without attention to transport issues.”
Accessibility in urban areas can also be defined in terms of kilometres of road length per 1000
people. As per data, the accessibility index for Kanakapura Taluk is 4.47 km per 1000 population.
TRIP CHARACTERISTICS
There is no defined Central Business District or Commercial Area in the Kanakapura Town, though
commercial activities are concentrated mainly along the National Highway and the State Highway.
More over the entire town has a predominant residential land use. So deriving specific trip directions
is not possible. However, the KSRTC bus stand can be considered as the origin and destination of
major outstation trips in the peak hours.

FREIGHT MOVEMENT
The KIADB industrial estate is the major industrial area in the Kanakapura LPA. Since the National
Highway 209 is the primary regional linkage, it forms the major corridor of freight movement. Phase 1
and 2 of the Industrial Estate has been commissioned presently and occupancy of the plots is
presently low2, hence the impact of freight movement on the traffic flow is not visible presently.
However, with increase in the number of industries in Harohalli and development of Harohalli-Bidadi
Industrial corridor, a separate freight route would be necessary, especially around the Kanakapura
Town, which sees heavy traffic on the NH 209.

Primary Survey observation
P a g e | 86
MAJOR ISSUES
Road hierarchy is non-existent in the road network of Kanakapura Town. As such all major
traffic flows through the NH 209 and SH 3. Proper segregation of intra-settlement and inter-
settlement traffic is essential to ensure unhindered flow to regional traffic.
Regional Freight route originating in the industrial areas should be delineated to avoid conflict
with normal traffic flow.
On street parking of two wheelers and four wheelers on NH 209, SH 3 and other major roads
cause hindrance to regional traffic flow. Adequate parking facility should be provided in the
commercial areas.
P a g e | 87
Plate 7.6: Issues in LPA: Parking situation in commercial areas,

inadequate road width
The regional roads in the LPA – SH3, Bannerghatta main Road, and Anekal-Bidadi Road
have inadequate carriageway width and are ill maintained3. Initiative should be taken to
improve the existing regional linkages of the LPA.
The National Highway has given rise to major commercial activities in the adjacent properties
in Kanakapura Town. Pedestrian-vehicular traffic movement conflict is hence a major problem.
Footpaths and adequate pedestrian transfer facilities are required in the areas.

INFRASTRUCTURE
5.1 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
WATER SUPPLY
Water supply is related to the main themes in the development agenda – poverty alleviation,
environment protection, private sector led growth, participatory development and good governance.
The growth process and the expansion of economic activities inevitably lead to increasing demands
for water for diverse purposes of which drinking and domestic needs attains paramount importance.
However this essential commodity for sustenance of life is not adequately available to a large number
of people especially in the rural areas and even in parts of urban settlements. Domestic and industrial
water needs have largely been concentrated in and around principal cities but with steep population
hike, demand for water is increasing at a superfast pace. As a result water, which is already a scarce
commodity, is going to become a scarcer commodity in future.
Water quality deterioration has also set in and maintaining water quality is a foremost requirement. It
is one of the most crucial elements in planning. Efforts to develop, conserve, utilize and manage this
immensely important resource have to be whole heartedly made keeping the National perspectives in
view. AT the same time a strong database needs to be prepared to monitor and integrate the water
based activities like city planning, industrial planning and development etc. Serious wastage of water,
water loss in transmission, wastage by public are also issues that need to be addressed.
SITUATION APPRAISAL: RAMANAGARA DISTRICT
The figure below shows the distribution of households in Ramanagara district by the source of
drinking water. According to census 2011, 80% of the households are supplied by tap water and 16%
by tube wells. Smaller number of households is supplied by wells (0.7%), hand pumps (1.6%) and
spring water (0.1%).

water source to the LPA. The surface sourceis Cauvery River at a distance of 10km from the town.
An average of2.5 MLD of water is drawn from thesource through BWSSB pipelines.
SOI maps followed by field observations supplemented by WRDO reports, indicates that there exists
many lakes and tanks network systems in the conurbation area and neighbouring villages. The
ground water source includes134 borewells out of which 74 borewells are fitted with power pumpand
the remaining bore wells arefitted with handpumps. A total of 1.5MLD of water is extracted from
borewell sources. The present water supply to thetown is 4.8 MLD 1with per capita rate of water

WATER TREATMENT AND TRANSMISSION: URBAN AREAS
There is no water treatment plant in Kanakapura Town. The head works are located at
Jakkegowdnadoddi constructed on banks of River Cauvery at a distance of about 10 KM from the
town. The town doesnot have separate town level water pumping and raw water storage system for
the surface water source.The BWSSB which provides water to Bangalore city also provideswater to
the Kanakapura town. The treated water is distributed through the BWSSBpipelines to the service
reservoirs.The borewell water is pumped by pumping stations located at Malagala road and Rural
police station. The pump house at Malagala road is situated on the banks of Arkavati River. It pumps
water from 3 borewells and supplies to a 75 KL sump.From there it is pumped to OHT at
Chamundeshwara choultry using submersible25HP pump with 100% standby. The pump house at
rural police station also has asump of 75KL and pumps water from 3 borewells by 25 HP pump with
100% standby. It is further pumped to the service reservoir.
EXISTING STORAGE CAPACITY: KANAKAPURA
There are 4 Over Head Tanks (OHTs) and 2 Ground Level Storage Reservoirs (GLSR) in the town.
The total storage capacity of the reservoirs in the town is 3.05ML (2.45 ML in OHT and 1.5ML in the
GLSR). The details of the service reservoirs in the town are listed in the table below.

WATER SOURCE: VILLAGES
Surface water, tanks and ground water are the primary sources of drinking water in rural Kanakapura.
The Major and Medium irrigation projects are potential sources for drinking water supplies in their
respective command areas. Cauvery if the major source of drinking water in the urban areas though
P a g e | 94
rural areas are excluded from its coverage. There is a recorded history of providing priority to tank
development in each village. They were primarily meant for irrigation and as a source of drinking
water. Their development was mostly done on a aquifer basis and was in a networked and cascading
manner i.e. over-flow of upper (higher elevation) tank used to reach the next tank and so on until the
last tank (lower most elevation) was filled. Their capacity was decided more on the basis of local
needs. Geology and soil type make ground water recharge favourable in the LPA. Hence ground
water is a major source of drinking water.
WATER QUALITY
With increasing industrialization, urbanization and deforestation, the quality of water resources
available to mankind is deteriorating day by day. The supply of drinking water in terms of both quality
and quantity is a major concern now. Out of many chemical and biological contaminants in drinking
water, excess Fluoride and arsenic are of the utmost concern due to their serious health impacts. The
study conducted by Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission during 1990-1992 has reported 15
States (including Karnataka) endemic for the Fluorosis. Therefore, effective surveillance and
monitoring of water quality becomes very important in the state of Karnataka.
The quality of drinking water affects health of the consumers because certain bacteria and microbial
diseases, toxic chemical compounds etc. can be transmitted to the human body through water.
Experience has shown that community health and water quality is directly related to each other and
that an improvement in the quality of drinking water supply is followed by an improvement in
community's health. The „Karnataka Ground Water Quality Data‟ report3 says that out of 612 villages
in the Kanakapura Taluk, 16 villages were affected with excess fluoride in drinking water while 4
villages were affected with excess Iron.

1. The per capita water supplied to Kanakapura Town at present is 75-80 lpcd, which is
considerably lower than the 135 lpcd stipulated by the CPHEEO norms. As such there is
water scarcity in the LPA. The gap between supply and demand would increase in future as
shown in figure 9.3.

Prepared by Karnataka Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency
P a g e | 95
2. At present only 75% of the Kanakapura TMC is covered by the water supply network,
whereas ideally the entire town should have access to potable water.
3. Excess fluoride (above 1.5 ppm)4 and iron in drinking water has been reported in the villages
of Kanakapura posing serious threat to health.
4. Brackishness in water has also been reported in ground water in rural areas. Such
characteristics of water are highly harmful for public health and should be removed by
treatment.
5. Only 20% of the total population get treated water from taps. Water treatment is an important
aspect of water supply
6. 14% of the population avail water from a source away from their dwelling unit. Care should be
taken to provide potable water within or near the dwelling unit for the entire population.
7. Water supply system should be designed in consideration with the natural topography of the
land, to assure adequate water pressure in all areas.

DRAINAGE AND SANITATION
CPHEEO suggests standards for physical level of sanitation services according to population of
urban and rural centres. For sanitation, it is envisaged to achieve 100% of population coverage for
Class I urban areas (population 1 lac and above), 80% of population coverage in other urban centres
with provision for sewerage, sewage treatment facilities and low cost sanitation methods. However
the shortfall in achieving the target is significant. According to projection of Census of India 2001, only
73.7% of the urban population has access to latrine facilities of various types and it is estimated that
by the year 2025, more than 50% of the country‟s population will settle in urban areas when issue
related to sanitation in urban areas will assume a very serious dimension. Needless will be to
mention, sanitation has a close and direct link with environment, water supply and its cleanliness,
health and hygiene. The problem of sanitation, associated with steep influx of population in urban
areas, therefore needs to be addressed forth with, debated and deliberated at length, by the policy
planners for the development of urban/city areas. The capital-intensive nature of sewerage system
has put many roadblocks in urban planning primarily due to weak financial positions of most of the
ULBs
INTRODUCTION
Efficient sewerage and sanitation system is a pre requisite for maintaining health and hygiene in
society. Diseases, especially water borne diseases spread due to unsanitary conditions. Due to rapid
growth of population in Kanakapura LPA, additional pressure would be created in the existing
network. Hence, upgradation and extension of the system is necessary.
DRAINAGE NETWORK
The general topography of the town slopes towards the River Arkavathy which flows adjacent to the
town. The total length of drains in the town is approximately 55km out of which 8km of drains is in
major valley portions. 33 km of the total drains is of pukka type and 13km is kachha type. The storm
water drains also receive partial sullage since the town is only partially covered by underground
drainage system.
With respect to the existing road network, there is 70% coverage of storm water drains in the town.
P a g e | 97
SEWERAGE GENERATION IN THE LPA
The sewage generation is approximately assumed to be 80 % of total net water supply has
beenconsidered out of which water supplied for green areas, washing streets, Horticulture, Fire
fighting would cover the ground water infiltration. Present sewage generation in the LPA is calculated
as shown in the table below.

UNDERGROUND SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Kanakapura Town is only partially covered by underground sewerage system. A total of 71.6 km of
sewerage network is proposed to be laid to cover the entire town area. 19.28 Ha land has been
acquired in Aralalu village for construction of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).

It can be seen from the statistics of the Kanakapura Taluk that, 53.4% of the households in the Taluk
have access to bathroom facility while only 24.8% had access to a toilet. Thus more than half the
population in the LPA lives without a toilet facility. In urban areas however, 87.4% of the households
have access to a bathroom and 83.6% have access to a toilet. The situation is alarming in the rural
areas where only 15.6% of the households have access to a toilet.
RURAL SANITATION
Promotion of rural sanitation is being carried out through the implementation of Nirmala Grama
Yojane. Providing toilet facilities to primary schools with water supply facility is also a component of
the programme. Efforts have also been made to create awareness among the people on hygiene and
cleanliness through the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC).
ISSUES
The critical issues for sewerage and sanitation in the Kanakapura LPA are as follows:
P a g e | 99
1. Access to toilets in rural areas is alarmingly poor (15.6%). Abandoning of open defecation is
needed not only for human health but also for economic and social development. It pollutes
ground water, contaminates ground water and spreads diseases like diarrhoea and cholera.
2. Underground sewerage system has only partial coverage in Kanakapura town whereas ideally
the entire town limits should be under coverage.
3. In majority of the urban area – surface drains are either absent, improperly constructed and
maintained or are blocked.
4. There is lack of municipal maintenance of the drainage system.
5. Total coverage of the town area is absent.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Solid waste can be defined as material that no longer has any value to the person who is responsible
for it, and is not intended to be discharged through a pipe. It is generated by domestic, commercial,
industrial, healthcare, agricultural and mineral extraction activities and accumulates in streets and
public places.
The production of solid waste in an urban area is an attribute of the socio – economic profile of the
population and activities in the area. More the city is developed; more is the generation of wastes.
Again, the pre dominance of the industrial and commercial land use in the city increases the
generation of wastes.
It is estimated that about 1, 00,000 MT of Municipal Solid Waste isgenerated daily in the country. Per
capita waste generation in major cities rangesfrom 0.20 Kg to 0.6 Kg. Generally the collection
efficiency ranges between 70 to90% in major metro cities whereas in several smaller cities the
collectionefficiency is below 50%. It is also estimated that the Urban Local Bodies spendabout Rs.500
to Rs.1500 per tonne on solid waste for collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. About 60-
70% of this amount is spent on street sweepingof waste collection, 20 to 30% on transportation and
less than 5% on final disposalof waste, which shows that hardly any attention is given to scientific and
safedisposal of waste.
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste generated in a society can be classified, as per CPHEEO as follows:

Residential waste:This category of waste comprises the solid wastes that originate from single and
multi-family household units. These wastes are generated as a consequence of household activities
such as cooking, cleaning, repairs, hobbies, redecoration, empty containers, packaging, clothing, old
books, writing/new paper, and old furnishings etc
Commercial waste:Included in this category are solid wastes that originate in offices, wholesale and
retail stores, restaurants, hotels, markets, warehouses and other commercial establishments. Some
of these wastes are further classified as garbage and others as rubbish.
P a g e | 101
Municipal Waste:Municipal wastes include wastes resulting from municipal activities and services
such as street waste, dead animals, market waste and abandoned vehicles. However, the term is
commonly applied in a wider sense to incorporate domestic wastes, institutional wastes and
commercial wastes.
Industrial Waste:In the category are the discarded solid material of manufacturing processesand
industrial operations. They cover a vast range of substances which are uniqueto each industry. For
this reason they are considered separately from municipalwastes. It should be noted, however, that
solid wastes from small industrial plantsand ash from power plants are frequently disposed of at
municipal landfills.
Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) involves management of activities associated with
generation, storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing and disposal of solid waste.
INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Management of Industrial Solid Waste (ISW) is not the responsibility oflocal bodies. Industries
generating solid waste have to manage such waste bythemselves and are required to seek
authorizations from respective State PollutionControl Boards (SPCBs) under relevant rules. However,
through joint efforts ofSPCBs, local bodies and the industries, a mechanism could be evolved for
bettermanagement.
Assessment of industrial solid waste management problem greatly variesdepending on the nature of
the industry, their location and mode of disposal ofwaste. Further, for arriving at an appropriate
solution for better management ofindustrial solid waste, assessment of nature of waste generated is
also essential.
Industries are required to collect and dispose of their waste at specificdisposal sites and such
collection, treatment and disposal is required to bemonitored by the concerned State Pollution Control
Board (SPCB) or PollutionControl Committee (PCC) in Union Territory. The following problems
aregenerally encountered in cities and towns while dealing with industrial solid waste
There are no specific disposal sites where industries can dispose their waste;
Mostly, industries generating solid waste in city and town limits are ofsmall scale nature and
even do not seek consents of SPCBs/PCCs ;
P a g e | 102
Industries are located in non-conforming areas and as a result they causewater and air
pollution problems besides disposing solid waste.
Industrial estates located in city limits do not have adequate facilities so thatindustries can
organize their collection, treatment and disposal of liquid andsolid waste;
There is no regular interaction between urban local bodies andSPCBs/PCCs to deal such
issues relating to treatment and disposal of waste
and issuance of licenses in non-conforming areas.
SOLID WASTE GENERATION
By comparing the per capita waste generation in different Indian cities, CPHEEO has suggested
norm for solid waste generation according to different activities.
Residential refuse: 0.3 to 0.6 kg/cap/day Commercial refuse: 0.1 to 0.2 kg/cap/day
Street sweepings: 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day Institutional refuse: 0.05 to 0.2 kg/cap/day
Hence the total waste generated in the LPA can be computed as follows:

ISSUES
1. INADEQUATE LANDFILL SITES FOR FUTURE SCENARIO
A landfill site of 10 acres has been allocated in Kanakapura TMC. Even though it is adequate for
2011, it would be inadequate for 2031. Provision for landfill sites is also required at Harohalli,
Kaggalipura and Sathanur.
2. INADEQUATE RESOURCE
There is inadequacy of resource in terms of municipal workers, solid waste management tools and
equipment in the municipality.
3. NO WASTE SEGREGATION
Concept of segregation of waste is largely absent and people are totally ignorant about the
significance and necessity of segregation of Solid waste
4. ABSENCE OF PROPER COLLECTION AND TRANSPORT:
The process of collection, which requires substantial man and logistics management, is very poor.
This coupled with lack of proper transportation has resulted in a situation wherein 50-70% of the
waste is not collected at all.
5. LACK OF AWARENESS IN GENERAL PUBLIC
There is no awareness among the general public about the solid waste management. People are not
aware of the way to dispose the waste. Careless disposal of waste on streets has resulted in littering
of waste.

POWER AND TELECOMMUNICATION
INTRODUCTION
The power supply is an important component of physical infrastructure for any city or town to work
efficiently. Efficient supply of power ensures proper working of all other infrastructure facilities like
water supply, sanitation etc.
Based on the estimated requirements of power supply in urban area as per the new master plan of
Delhi, the consumption works out to be about 2kw per household/day. The allocation of electric sub-
stations is to be done as per the population that is one 11 kV of sub-station for every 15000
population. (UDPFI guidelines) It is the general standard for all categories of towns/ cities.

5.2 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
Education is recognised as a fundamental human right, along with other necessities, such as food,
shelter and water in The Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1948). The advantages it confers
on individuals and nations are multi-dimensional and multi-faceted. It sustains economic growth by
providing basic as well as specialised skills that ensure increased productivity and higher per capita
incomes.
Achievements in education in Karnataka have been quite remarkable, and the state is moving
towards universal literacy at a steady pace. The literacy rate increased from 56.04 per cent in 1991 to
66.64 per cent in 2001
EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE LPA
According to Department of Public Instruction, Govt. of Karnataka there exist 324 primary schools
and 185 higher secondary schoolsin Kanakapura Taluk. The table below shows the distribution of
educational facilities in the Taluk.

It can be seen that the enrolment after 9th grade shows a sharp decrease. The reason for such high
dropout rate should be investigated. It can be absence of senior secondary schools in the villages
which makes commuting an obstacle for education. It can also be absence of proper incentives which
make literacy difficult.

education.
EDUCATION SCHEMES
Akshara Dasoha Program
The Akshara Dasoha program is an initiative to provide free food to school children and improve their
health and nutrition. It is anticipated that improvement of health and nutrition would automatically
improve the education level and would also support the education objectives of the state.
“Akshara Dasoha” program aims at providing hot cooked meals to all the children studying in 1 st to 5th
standard in all the Government Primary Schools of the State. The Mission of the program is to free all
the primary school children from hunger, improve their learning abilities and bring about equity.

HEALTH
INTRODUCTION
Health status is an important indicator of the socio economic conditions of a society since it has far
reaching effects across all socio economic strata. Hence commitment to improvement of health status
especially among women, children and vulnerable population such as schedule casts and scheduled
tribes, is an important goal of any planning process. Efficient planning requires an appraisal of the
current infrastructure and policies, assessment of progress, identification of gaps and proposals to
mitigate the condition.
HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE LPA
Health care infrastructure in Kanakapura Taluk consists of one Taluk headquarter hospital, 22 govt.
hospitals, one nursing home and 22 clinics. The table below shows the distribution of healthcare
facilities in the Taluk.

HEALTH SCHEMES
The National Rural health mission has been introduced to provide universal access to equitable,
affordable and quality healthcare which is responsive to the needs of the people. Initiatives for
reducing child and maternal mortality, stabilising population along with gender and demographic
balance have been taken.
The key features for delivery of NRHM in Karnataka includes making public health delivery system
fully functional and accountable to the community, working in a mission mode, decentralised
planning, delegation of power, human resource management, community involvement, rigorous
monitoring and evaluation against standards, convergence of health related programs and flexible
financing.
The NRHM program has five distinct agenda
Promotion of maternal and child health: Maternal ill health and death impacts families, communities
and societies and has far reaching impacts across all socio-economic strata. Promotion of maternal
and child health is an important objective of NRHM, since mother hood encompasses reproductive
health, family planning, pregnancy, childbirth, infant and maternal mortality.
In view of the above goals, an umbrella scheme has been initiated called the “Thayi Bhagya”
scheme which consists of three sub schemes – Janani Suraksha Yojna, Prasooti Araike and Madilu.
Under Janani Suraksha scheme, poor pregnant women are given financial and institutional
assistance through a decentralised medical infrastructure system. Prasooti Araike is also a part of the
maternal healthcare program in which health care and check up facilities are provided to women.
Madilu is another scheme that was devised to encourage women to deliver in hospitals for which they
would be entitled to medical kit for the baby and the mother.
P a g e | 115
Child health care: Health and well being of children during their intra-uterine period, toddler years,
school age and adolescence needs intervention which is reached out through Maternal and child care
programs and the public delivery system, Anganawadis, ASHAs and schools.
Immunisation: It is the most cost-effective and effective intervention in public health system. Polio,
DTP, BCG, Measles, TB and Hepatitis B vaccines are administered through the various PHCs and
FRUs. Beside this childhood diseases and neonatal illnesses are taken care of through IMNCI
(Integrated Management of Neonatal and childhood illnesses) program.
Disease control program: In order to provide health care facilities to patients with diseases like AIDS,
Leprosy, Tuberculosis and terminal diseases like cancer, several programs have been introduced at
the Taluk level, like AIDS control program, Leprosy control program, TB control program and Cancer
control program, vector disease control program etc.
Inter-sectoral convergence: In additional to the above, facilities like ambulance service have also
been introduced. One ambulance per 1.1 lakh population has been provided for rural areas with a
maximum reaching time of 25.5 minutes.

There is no formal report on air quality in Kanakapura. However approximately 6000 Ha of industrial
area has been proposed in the master plan 2031 out of which manufacturing consist of almost fifty
per cent. Hence, air pollution might be a reality in the area in near future. Proposals have been made
in the master plan for action for prevention of industrial pollution.
SOIL EROSION
Kanakapura has good quality agricultural land within its limits which would transform into urbanised
land due to growth pressure. Sustainable agricultural practices should therefore be adopted in the
remaining agricultural land form maximising and sustaining productivity.
6.2 RAIN WATER HARVESTING
Rainwater system is an alternative plumbing system that helps to conserve our limited water
supply. Currently, most of us use clean drinking water straight from the tap to water our gardens.
Rainwater system gives another water choice for irrigating and can save money. Using non-potable
water to irrigate your gar-den can also help replenish local aquifers.
Rainwater harvesting is collected precipitation from rooftops and other above-ground impervious
surfaces that is stored in catchment tanks for later use. Rainwater harvesting systems can range from
a simple barrel at the bottom of a downspout to multiple cisterns with pumps and filtration. The
harvested rainwater is low in sodium and chloramine and fluoride free.
There are two main types of rainwater harvesting systems that vary in complexity, volume of water
stored and permitting requirements.
P a g e | 117
Kanakapura LPA Master Plan 2031 Chapter 6 : Environmental Issues
Rain Barrel A rain barrel system is a simple rainwater collector that captures and stores a portion of
the runoff from a roof downspout. A hose attached to the bottom of the rain barrel can be used to
irrigate your garden. A rain barrel will only capture a small fraction of the rainwater that flows off your
roof, the rest of the runoff will still need to drain to a safe overflow location.
Cisterns Cisterns are larger systems that can hold much more water and may include pumps to move
the rainwater to the garden. More complex systems can involve plumbing and electrical work, soil
excavation or other structural work. For rainwater collection projects of this scale, consult a
professional to review design, construction and safety considerations. Permits and zoning certificates
are required for cistern systems.
Proposal has been forwarded in the Master Plan 2031 for rainwater harvesting techniques in the LPA.
6.3 DISASTER MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES
Till recently, the approach to Disaster Management have been reactive and relief centric. A paradigm
shift has now taken place at the national level from the relief centric syndrome to holistic and
integrated approach with emphasis on prevention, mitigation and preparedness. These efforts are
aimed to conserve developmental gains as also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and property.
A typical Disaster Management continuum as shown below, comprising of six elements i.e.,
Prevention, Mitigation and Preparedness in pre-disaster phase, and Response, Rehabilitation and
Reconstruction in post-disaster phase, defines the complete approach to Disaster Management.
Industrial hazards leading to chemical and

biological disasters and fire hazard are the
most prominent hazards that the LPA
faces. The master plan proposes
guidelines for undertaking detail studies at
the micro level for equipping the
authorities for the same.

VISUALISING THE FUTURE
8.1. INTERIM MASTER PLAN POPULATION PROJECTION - 2021

As per the approved Interim Master Plan 2021, the total population in the LPA as projected at 11.22
lakhs. However the projection has been based on the census 2001 data. The population for Master
Plan 2031 has been estimated using census 2011 data. It also takes into account the growth trends
in the region.
The IMP recognises four important growth nodes in the LPA – Kaggalipura, Harohalli, Kanakapura
and Sathanur. The following are the landuse statistics of the four conurbations in the Interim master
Plan 2021.

8.3. FACTORS AIDING POPULATION GROWTH
The growth of the LPA would largely be dependent upon the industrial proposals in the region.
However, this may not be the sole contributing factor. The other factors that are expected to affect
population dispersal to the Kanakapura LPA are as follows:
Its proximity to Bangalore
Development of Major roads near and passing through the LPA like the IRR passing through
Harohalli, STRR ( approximately coinciding with SH3) connecting Anekal and Ramnagaram,
via Kanakapura, proposed Ring road around Kanakapura, PRR passing through Kaggalipura
and Uttari, Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor to the north of LPA and NH 209 passing
right through the LPA by 2021.
KIADB industrial estates in Harohalli-Bidadi area: The industrial estates would create
employment opportunities for people in and around the region and spur development and
growth in eth LPA.
Availability of ground water in the region as compared to the others: The Kanakapura LPA has
a higher availability of ground water as compared to the rest of the BMR since it is closer to
the Cauvery region. Hence developments are more sustainable and feasible in the LPA.
The Taluk Industrial Plan for the Kanakapura Taluk envisages promoting around 800 tiny & SSI
units including services. The Taluk also has potential for promotion of 168 units in large & medium
sector spread over five years. These investments are likely to generate direct employment for about
60,000 persons and indirect employment to about 24,000 persons.
P a g e | 124
8.4. POPULATION PROJECTION
There are two components of projected population
- Natural Growth of the LPA
- Inmigrating population
NATURAL GROWTH OF POPULATION IN THE LPA
The natural increase in the population has been calculated through statistical methods like arithmetic
progression, geometric progression and ANGM (Annual National Growth Method). It has been
observed from the data that many of the villages have a negative growth rate while some of the
villages have compounding positive growth rates. The growth of the population calculated through
various statistical methods is as follows:
Table 8.5: Natural growth of population calculated through various

statistical methods.
Statistical method used Projected population
Arithmetic Progression 2.75 lakhs
Geometric Progression 2.72 lakhs
Annual National Growth Rate Method 2.82 lakhs
All the statistical methods adopted for projection of population in the LPA yield more or less similar
results.

TOTAL 225061 272932
2.8 lakhs has been considered as the natural growth in the LPA till the year 2031.
INMIGRATING POPULATION IN THE LPA
The Revised Structure Plan 2031 envisages a 70%-30% population distribution between the core and
the outside by 2031. Hence the local planning areas must be planned to create job opportunities to
realize the regional vision.
In IMP and Provisional Master Plan 410 Ha were earmarked for KIADB 1st and 2nd Phase. New
industrial areas (800 Ha) under KIADB phase III & IV has been added to the existing Industrial area in
Harohalli.
The Kanakapura LPA has about 450 tiny and SSI unit at present. KIADB industrial area also exists in
Harohalli area. As such the Industrial Perspective Plan for the Kanakapura Taluk envisaged
promoting around 800 tiny & SSI units including services till 2011. The Taluk also has potential for
promotion of 168 units in large & medium sector spread over five years. These investments are
likely to generate direct employment for about 60,000 persons and indirect employment to about
24,000 persons by 2011.
Since, maximum potential of job creation has not been reached presently; it has been assumed that
the LPA has the potential to create 80,000 jobs by the year 2031. Hence an additional 3.2 lakhs
population will be inmigrating in the LPA by the 2031, out of which 1.25 lakhs is envisaged to be
migrating in 2021 and rest by 2031.
P a g e | 128
Hence the total projected population in the LPA till the year 2031 is as follows.
Table 8.7: Projected population in Kanakapura LPA 2031

POPULATION 2031
Natural Increase in the LPA in 2031 2.8LAKHS
In migrating population in the LPA in 2031 3.2 LAKHS
PROJECTED POPULATION 2031 6LAKHS
Hence 6 lakhs has been taken as the projected urban population in the LPA till the year 2031.
DISTRIBUTION ION OF POPULATION
There are four important growth centres in the LPA – Kanakapura, Kaggalipura, Harohalli and
Sathanur. The urban population in the LPA has been distributed in these growth centres which
includes natural growth and inmigrating population. The table below show the distribution of
population in the four growth nodes and the villages of the LPA.

A township has been proposed at Sathanur by the BMRDA to host textile and apparel industries. The
township would accommodate a population of 3.2 lakhs. The master plan proposals do not take into
account the population of the township since facilities would be planned separately for it.

8.10 PARTICIPATORY APPROACH
As per the provisions of KTCP Act 1961, the Master Plan would be put up for public display after
provisional approval of the plan by the government. The issues and objection raised by the public
would be then considered and included in the proposal if found feasible and for the greater good.
The RTI Act provides scope for gaining information by the public. The Disclosure Act also provides
scope for discussion on the Master Plan.
8.11 S.W.O.T ANALYSIS
The SWOT analysis of the LPA has been shown below.
STRENGTH WEAKNESS
1. High Potential for Sericulture 1. Low Ground Water Potential

2. Lack of Mass Transit System.
1. Ground Water pollution due to 1. Industrial Incentives as per the

industrial development Industrial Policy 2009-14
2. Damage to Sericulture due to 2. Sericulture Incentives as per
Industrial Development. Karnataka Vastra Neethi
THREAT OPPORTUNITY
8.12 VISION 2031
The vision of the Master Plan 2031 is as follows;

1. To develop the LPA as a self-sufficient counter magnet to Bangalore.
2. To develop industrial base in the LPA for employment in the region.

CHAPTER 9
MASTER PLAN PROPOSALS
9.1 COMPONENTS OF THE MASTER PLAN

The contents of a Master Plan are elaborated in Section 12 of the Karnataka Town and Country
Planning Act 1961.
As per the act, the Master Plan should contain a series of maps and documents indicating the
manner in which the development and improvement of the entire planning area within the jurisdiction
of the Planning Authority are to be carried out and regulated, such plan shall include proposals for the
following, namely –
a. Zoning of land use for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, educational
and other purposes together with Zoning Regulations.
b. A complete street pattern, indicating major and minor roads, national highways and state
highways and traffic circulation pattern, for meeting the immediate and future requirements
with proposals for improvement;
c. Areas for parks, playgrounds and other recreational uses public open spaces, public buildings
and institutions and area reserved for such purposes as may be expedient for new civic
developments;
d. Areas earmarked for future development and expansion;
e. Reservation of land for the purposes of central Government, the State Government, Planning
Authority or public utility undertaking or any other authority established by Law, and the
designation of lands being subject to acquisition for public purposes or as specified in the
master plan or securing the use of the landing in the manner provided by or under this Act;
f. Declaring certain areas, as areas of special control and development in such areas being
subject to such regulations as may be made in regard to building line, height of the building,
floor area ratio, architectural features and such other particulars as may be prescribed;
g. Stages by which the plan is to be carried out.
P a g e | 138
9.2 MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Master Plan can be stated as follows:
1. To provide growth direction in the LPA
2. To promote industrial development in the LPA
3. To enhance linkage between the LPA with other areas of the BMR.
4. To plan for population in 2031.
9.3 DENSITY
Sathanur. The urban population in the LPA has been calculated for these growth centres which
population and the density in the four growth nodes.

9.4 STRATEGY FOR OBTAINING LAND FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES

Development of public infrastructure like parks and playgrounds, roads and institutions require land
acquisition. A conventional mode of land acquisition has been through the Land Acquisition Act of
1894. Since the process lacks definite benefits to the landowner, it has faced considerable protest in
recent past. Consequently, a more democratic way of land pooling has been adopted in many of the
Indian states called Town Planning Schemes.
Since the process of land pooling through Town Planning Schemes present definite advantages to all
stakeholders, it should be adopted as a means to develop infrastructure in the LPA.
Town Planning Schemes could be adopted for pooling land for development of the major roads
STRR, IRR, ITRR and RR.
9.5 BASIC CONSIDERATION FOR PROPOSAL

The basic considerations for the Master Plan 2031 proposals were as follows:
1. Existing development in the area: The existing developments have been given priority in
determining the proposed landuse of the Master Plan 2031. In most of the cases the existing
landuse has been retained to minimise public distress and loss of property.
2. IMP Proposals: IMP proposals for landuse have been retained in all places barring places
where it conflicts with the existing landuse.
3. Scientific landuse allocation: New areas have been brought under the proposed land use to
integrate the existing and IMP proposed landuse judiciously. New areas have also been brought
under proposals to satisfy the requirements of the population in 2031.
4. All the directions of government.
5. Identification of water bodies and natural drains and their protection
6. Structure Plan directives
7. Change of land uses approved by the govt. and P.A. under section 14-A (3)

9.6 PROPOSALS
9.6.1 PROPOSED LANDUSE PLAN 2031
KANAKAPURA CONURBATION AREA
Kanakapura is the Taluk headquarters of Kanakapura Taluk as well as the only TMC in the LPA. As
such it is a node of prime importance owing to already superior administrative stature. The town has
enormous economic potential in terms of agriculture, sericulture and other small scale industrial
activities. The Landuse of the town has been proposed as to boost its economic potential and
supplement its hierarchy in the region.
The total urbanisable area of the conurbation is 27.92 sqkm and 1.8 lakhs population is proposed in
the town by 2031. 14.11% of the total area is proposed for industrial use while whereas 4.59% of the
total area is dedicated to public and semi-public uses. 40.15% of the total area is reserved for
residential purposes. 9.02% of the total area is commercial and 11.40% is under parks and open
spaces. The rest of the area is comprised of quarries, water bodies and agricultural landuse as

9.6.2 PROPOSED TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2031
Progress follows the lines of transportation. Transportation Corridors are generally considered as
lifelines of any town / city. An efficient Traffic and Transportation system promotes socio - economic
activities. Kanakapura LPA hasone National Highway (NH-206), one State Highway (SH 3), four
Major District Roads with good network of roads. One of the major objectives of MP is to provide
broader roads within Kanakapura LPA with good hierarchy of roads. Its aim is to provide an efficient
and feasible circulation plan for the entire LPA.
The total area covered by traffic and transportation use in the conurbation area is 105 ha,
constituting 4.1% of developed area. By and large the inter town traffic movement is convenient. But
due to very narrow road network in the town area, there are many intra town traffic problems and
proposals for the same are to be made.
Some general guidelines for better connectivity are addressed:

All village roads within LPA having width less than 18 m are proposed for widening to 18 m
Right of Way (ROW).
Within the Town limits, Major roads are proposed for widening to ease out the traffic
movement vide
o Budikere Main Road
o Pipeline Road
o Sangama Road
P a g e | 146
Parking space needs to be proposed along commercial access roads and around bus-stand
areas by undertaking detailed studies.
Improvements of major intersections: Sufficient space for pedestrians, signals and utilities
along with wide footpath and cycle tracks are to be provided along main market,
shopping/commercial street through detailed studies.
Wherever feasible cycle tracks are separately provided.
Buffer zones/green spaces are proposed for NMT.
Pedestrian Refugee islands and other road features are to be proposed for road width above
18 m ROW.
Any road development/ redevelopment/ widening proposal shall be done according to the
road sections annexed (Annexure 8) are implemented.
City Traffic and Transportation Studies (CTTS) are made for BMR, 2031. This CTTS would
be referred to for provision of Traffic Management proposals in the Kanakapura LPA. Road
circulation plan for the entire LPA is prepared under this master plan exercise showing the
alignment and pattern of all existing and proposed roads in the LPA.
PROPOSALS
1. Widening of Village Roads:

All village roads within LPA which are less than 18 m are proposed for widening to 18 m.
2. Segregation Of Regional And Intra-Settlement Traffic

Town Ring road has been proposed around Kanakapura which is the major growth node of
the LPA. It would act as a conurbation boundary as well as serve the purpose of diverting
traffic from the centre of the town.
3. Segregation Of Freight Traffic

Since major industrial areas have been proposed in the LPA a separate freight corridor is
required separating the intra settlement traffic and freight traffic. Presently the NH 206 is the
route for both freight as well as normal traffic. TRR (town ring road) has been proposed so
serve the purpose by diverting heavy traffic away from the town Centre.
4. Proposal Of New Roads To Increase Connectivity

New roads have been proposed to increase the connectivity to developed areas in the LPA.
New roads are also proposed for better zoning and guide future developments. However, if
further need arises for improving connectivity, study (DPRs) should be taken up for feasibility
P a g e | 147
analysis for new road development. Roads should be constructed as per accepted road
design norms.
5. Improvement of Intersections
Improvement of major intersections at all conurbations should be carried out as per the
accepted road design guide lines. Signalization of intersections should be carried out
wherever feasible. Detailed studies (DPRs) should be taken up for this purpose.
6. Planning For Non-Motorized Traffic (NMT) And Pedestrian Facilities

Kanakapura town and all the major settlements in the LPA have to be planned for NMT and
easy pedestrian movement. Studies should be taken up at the town level to arrive at detailed
planning proposals for NMT mainly for cycling and pedestrian friendly circulation pattern. Old
market area is proposed for Pedestrian Zone by restricting the traffic movement during
specified hours. This can be achieved besides other measures that will be adopted Buffer
zones/green spaces under HT lines, along major drainage lines and area surrounding
lakes/ponds/tanks will be explored for NMT infrastructure for better NMT accessibility as per
DULT recommendations.
7. Planning For Parking Facilities

Parking facilities is completely absent in the LPA. With the growth of the population in the LPA
and the consequent vehicular growth, proper planned parking facilities are indispensible part
of the development. Studies (DPRs) will be taken up at LPA level to recognize inherent
problems and to arrive at detailed proposals for parking in the four conurbations.
8. Planning for Public Mass Transit

There is no mass transit mode in the LPA at present. However, it is anticipated that there
would be a high demand in this corridor due to the huge industrial developments. Feasibility
study (DPRs) for mass transit between the Harohalli to Bangalore should be taken up to
examine the viability of mono rail or metro rail in this corridor.
9. Planning for Multimodal Transit
To encourage multimodal transit integration, it is desirable to have the terminals located

wherever more than one mode like rail and road are present and they can be integrated. Such
facilities may be looked into in Kanakapura, Harohalli and Kaggalipura through detailed
studies.
P a g e | 148
10. Location of Bus Stands, Bus depots and Bus Bays

Within the town limits, bus stands/stops are proposed for every 250-300 m with suitable
shelter facility. In all layouts with more than 10 ha extent, bus bays shall be indicated as a part
of the layout within the property boundary of the layout. The existing properties of
BMTC/KSRTC are reserved for traffic and transport use. Such transport facilities should be
studied and designed in the four conurbations.
11. Truck Terminals/ freight complex/ logistics hub and Provision of Infrastructure near
Truck Terminals/ freight complex/ logistics hub
As far as possible the traffic and transportation use should be located as per the envisaged
activity. It is desirable to have truck terminal/ freight complex/ logistics hub next to or along the
side of the industrial use/ KIADB industrial areas.
Map no 27 shows the proposed Circulation Pattern in the Kanakapura LPA. The following tables
show the statistics of the roads in the LPA.

ECONOMY
The existing situation shows that the major industrial locations are concentrated on the North-West
part of the region, starting from Peenya and extending towards Nelamangala and beyond. The rest of
the region dominated by textiles and agro industries are concentrated in and around the existing
towns. An analysis of the present investment trend, as depicted by the BMR RSP 2031, however
shows the presence of major investment attraction potential along Kanakapura road, Mysore road
and BMIC. The national and state level strategies have spurred economic growth in the regions in the
post 2000 period. The emergence of the SMEs and creation of major infrastructural facilities like the
BIA have given rise to a major growth to the Bangalore region. However, basic infrastructure like
power, transport and water are still concerns for sustained economic growth. High land prices have
lead to a shortage of affordable housing leading to increasing informality in housing and longer travel
hours. In view of the above economic situation the draft BMR RSP 2031 proposes the following
economic policies as listed in the table below.
Table 9.12: Structure Plan proposals – Economy
SL POLICY RECOMMENDATION
1 E1 A comprehensive and elaborate land allocation strategy should be formulated for BMR
2 E2 Industrial and any other economic locations should be identified based on land capability.
P a g e | 152
3 E3 Spatial spread of economic activities should be planned
4 E4 Growth of service sector in the BMR should be encouraged.
5 E5 Encouraging SMEs in the region
BMR should be developed as a nodal area for locating educational, healthcare facilities
6 E6
and research institutions
7 E7 BMR should be developed as centre for high-end scientific and engineering industries.
8 E8 BMR should be developed as business tourism destination
Spatial developed initiatives like new townships / residential areas outside BBMP should
9 E9 be made integral with the local economy of existing settlement and in conjunction with
larger hinterland.
10 E 10 Small scale and medium scale polluting industries should be located outside the BBMP
Settlements in BMR should be made economically sustainable by clustering of economic

11 E 11
activities.
The areas within the city and emerging investment destinations across BKR and existing
12 E 12 towns (cluster and growth nodes) should be connected with efficient public transport
system.
Local Economic Development (LED) policy should be developed at each town level as a
13 E 13
part of the Local Area Development Plan to boost employment in the surrounding towns.
Special hawking zones within the Bangalore city and in identified locations in each zone
14 E 14
should be earmarked.
15 E 15 Environment impact of industrial estates
Proposed industrial estates and large investment destinations should be so developed to

16 E 16
integrate with local economy and livelihood.
TRANSPORT
The BMR draft RSP 2031 compliments the policy recommendations of the SP 2011 for a balanced
regional growth. The policies are hence aligned towards removing the regional imbalances and
increasing the efficiency of the transport systems. The table below highlights the policies of the draft
RSP 2031 for transport sector.
P a g e | 153

Traffic and Transport Study
Overview of the Transport Recommendations of BMR 2031 for Kanakapura LPA
Road Transport Recommendations:
The Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) and the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) should be realigned
in locations where they intersect ecologically sensitive areas and in areas where there are
existing major roads nearby.
The right of way (RoW) of the major roads, i.e. arterial road ( 55m) , sub-arterial roads (35m)
and other major roads (25m), have been specified. Exclusive bus lanes have been suggested
for the arterial roads and the sub-arterial roads. Access from arterial roads shall be only
through service roads whose access would be controlled. Sub-arterial roads shall have
access to adjoining properties but interval for median opening and intersections should at
least be one kilometre.
P a g e | 154
Freight Transport Recommendations:
There is a proposal for development of integrated freight hub at Kanakapura near Harohalli.
HOUSING
The draft Revised Structure Plan 2031 makes policy recommendations for reducing the demand-
supply gap in the housing sector and to reduce the regional imbalance in terms of housing types. The
RSP recommends provision of serviced land with transport and employment facilities to give the
growth nodes and the clusters a spur of development. It also suggests about shifting the role of the
KHB from housing builder to more of a housing facilitator and providing housing to the poor at
subsidized rates. In-situ up gradation programmes of the slum areas should be undertaken and
housing needs of the urban poor should be addressed as a part of the housing strategy. The table
below lists out the housing policy of the draft RSP 2031 which remains same in aggregate as the SP
2011.
Table 9.14: Structure Plan proposals – Housing
Government land should be provided within the priority growth centres and new urbanisable

WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION
The RSP 2031 has the following recommendations for water supply and sanitation.
Table 9.15: Structure Plan proposals – Water Supply
1 W1 Adequate measures to augment supply from surface water source in the BMR
2 W2 Ensure quality supply in the BMR
3 W3 Improve efficiency of utilization
4 W4 Advocate better waste management and conservation measures
5 W5 Implement measures to protect water bodies and tanks
Table 9.16: Structure Plan proposals – Sanitation
1 S1 Maximise the utility and efficiency of the existing sewerage systems in the BMR
2 S2 Measures to be taken for augmentation of sewer network
Encourage waste water treatment using appropriate technology to protect

3 S3
environment and promote the reuse of treated water for non-potable uses
4 S4 Enforce vigilance against uncontrolled discharge into network.
POWER
The BMR RSP 2031 proposed increase in power generation in the region by using alternative and
ecologically friendly sources and municipal wastes. It also envisages private players on the power
generation region. It strives to ensure quality supply of power by use of clean coal technology and
renovation of the old power plants in the region. Stringent efficiency standards and emission norms
P a g e | 156
on vehicles to reduce demand of conventional fuels is also proposed. Operational and financial
performance of distribution network should be improved and demand may be reduced by replacing
power intensive industries through R&D.
Table 9.17: Structure Plan proposals – Power
1 P1 Enhance power generation capacity with optimum utilization of source
2 P2 Ensure quality supply of power to the BMR region

demand for energy
TELECOM
Table 9.18: Structure Plan proposals – telecom
1 TC1 Improve telecom connectivity in the rural districts of BMR
TC2 Provide fair and transparent policy environment forth e telecom market
TC3 Enhance capacities of telephone exchanges
The BMR draft RSP 2031 provides policy guidelines for the up gradation of the solid waste
management process in the BMR. It proposes the setting up of an integrated solid waste
management facility in the region and utilization of advanced technology to make solid waste disposal
a safe and profitable affair. It also proposed involvement of people for better facilitation of MSW
management by creating awareness through concepts like concepts of source segregation. The
table below lists out the policy guidelines.
P a g e | 157
Table 9.19: Structure Plan proposals – Solid Waste Management
SWM 1 Integrated solid waste management in the region
Advanced technologies and practices are to be developed to treat the waste

SWM 2
before final disposal and create new economic opportunities
SWM 3 Stakeholder involvement in solid waste management
Encourage decentralized small waste treatment and disposal facilities with the
SWM 4 support of community based organizations to reduce pressure on the
centralized facilities and to extend the life of the centralized facilities
SWM 5 Private public participation in waste treatment and disposal
SWM 7 Mandate segregation of waste at household level
The RSP 2031 proposed the establishment of integrated solid waste management facility at
Kanakapura. These facilities are proposed to be centres for waste storage, processing and disposal
in the area. A buffer zone of 500 m should be created around the site as no development zone by
notifying the prohibition of development in a buffer zone.
EDUCATION
The draft RSP envisages removing the regional disparity in education level and raising the general
education level in the region. It also provides policies to create a workforce more apt to the
requirements of the region.
Table 9.20: Structure Plan proposals – Education
1 ED1 Mandate minimum standard for all the schools
Enhance capacity of vocational education courses so as to match the

2 ED2
employment potentials of the region
3 ED3 Improve access and availability of quality education in the rural areas
P a g e | 158
HEALTH
There exists regional disparity in terms of health status as in reported by the Task Force on Health
and Family Welfare 2001. The high level of privatization in the health sector in the Bangalore Urban
district creates a sophisticated pool of medical resource which is absent in the surrounding Bangalore
rural and Ramanagara district. The heath policies of the draft RSP hence aims at up grading the
health scenario in the region.
Table 9.21: Structure Plan proposals – health
1 HE1 Improved access and availability of quality healthcare in Bangalore rural district
2 HE2 Use of technology to improve accessibility and availability of health services
3 HE3 Decentralised and participatory process in health planning and monitoring
9.6.5 SECTORAL PROPOSALS
ECONOMY
INCREASING WORK PARTICIPATION IN THE LPA
The work participation rate in the LPA (Kanakapura Taluk) is 38% that of Kanakapura Town is 17.5%,
whereas that in Karnataka is 41% and at the national level it is 39%1. An increased work participation
rate of 40% should be targeted for the entire LPA (including Kanakapura Town) till the horizon year
2031.
Government employment programmes such as Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana (PMRY),

Swarnajayanthi Shahari Rozgar Yojna, and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee
Act should be enforced efficiently to increase work participation.
The industrial potential of the area should also be used to generate employment for local people.
Industrial estates and large investment destinations should be so developed as to integrate with the
local economy. Open settlements should be preferred over closed or gated communities.
1
Census 2011
P a g e | 159
PROMOTING SMALL SCALE, TINY AMD COTTAGE INDUSTRIES
Small scale, tiny and cottage industries should be promoted through proper financial, marketing and
distribution schemes. Small scale and cottage industries requires less start-up capital, are labour
intensive, offer better employment opportunities to women and are often better platforms for local
craftsmanship. Hence promotion of such industries serves the purposes of employment generation,
preserving local craft and empowering women.
IMPACT OF INDUSTRIES ON GROUND WATER
The industrial perspective plan for Kanakapura Taluk lists a range of industries in small scale and
medium scale sector as potential investment options. However, the LPA along with the entire BMR
region is under a threat of water scarcity. Hence proper water management plan should be prepared
before commencement of industrial activities to address issues like ground water depletion, ground
water recharge through water treatment, ground water pollution etc.
RELOCATION OF INDUSTRIES FROM BANGALORE
The RSP 2031 specifies relocation of industries from BBMP limits to outer BMR as one of the
economic strategies. Viability of relocating these industries in the LPA may be looked into, to
introduce industries with established markets into the area. Total of 1168.3 HA of land has been
proposed under KIADB industrial area in four phases. 101.17 Ha of land has been allocated for
women entrepreneurs in phase IV of KIADB industrial area.
DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL ECONOMY
Local economy should be strengthened in the entire LPA. Planned commercial centers should be
introduced at the major growth nodes in the LPA – Kanakapura, Harohalli-Kanakapura and Sathanur.
The influx of population in the LPA would demand a proper commercial network within the LPA for
basic service delivery. Regularization of Delivery chains and markets should be taken up as a major
project
SERICULTURE TO BE GIVEN A BOOST
The provisions of the ―Suvarna Vastra Neethi 2008-1013‖ should be utilised to develop sericulture as
the prime activity in the LPA.
The centrally sponsored ―Catalytic Development Programme" should be implemented with the
assistance of Central Silk Board. Schemes under Catalytic Development Programme like Drip
P a g e | 160
irrigation, construction of rearing houses, raising of mulberry saplings, Installation of multi end reeling
machines, Incentive for Bivoltine Silk etc. are very popular. In order to ensure production of better
quality cocoons and silk with increased productivity, these programmes under Catalytic Development
Programme should be stepped up for which adequate funds will be made available under the State
and Central sector.
The initiatives of The National Research and Development Corporation (NRDC) should be supported
and expanded to establish Chawki Rearing Centre (CRC) and for capacity building and skill
development of the local farmers.
Detailed study should be undertaken to investigate the cause of slow development of sericulture
despite high potential and necessary investment plan for the sector. Kanakapura Town should be
used as the focal center for the LPA for development of capacity building, processing and marketing
facilities subject to its viability during the detailed study.
INTEGRATION OF LARGE INDUSTRIAL ESTATES WITH LOCAL ECONOMY & LIVELIHOOD
Large industrial units have been planned in the Harohalli Bidadi Cluster. Precision Engineering and
Machine Tools, Textiles, Plastics, Construction Material and Rubber and Agro and Food based
Industries have been proposed in the Taluk Industrial development Plan.
These are some of the sectors with highest backward and forward linkages. Forward and backward
linkage of these units should be analyzed in detail to boost the local economy. Art silk, Synthetic
textile manufacturing, Land based Transport, Petroleum products, retail, rubber tyre manufacturing,
recycling industries, Real estate should be used as key industries for boosting the local economy.
Detail studies should be carried out for estimating the quantum of forward and backward linkage and
the investments required.
AGRICULTURE
Food Park has been proposed at Harohalli by the department of Horticulture/ Food Karnataka Ltd.
Agro and Food Industries have been proposed as primary industries in the Taluk Industrial Plan. The
Taluk is also an AEZ for Gerkins and Rose onions. Processing industries should be promoted for
value addition.
Capacity building of the farmers in terms of knowledge development and awareness of latest
technologies, soil health improvement (by crop rotation etc.), water conservation and micro irrigation,
integrated post-harvest processing, crop insurance and credit facilities should be undertaken.
P a g e | 161
Soil moisture conservation and soil fertility improvement program through watershed approach.
Composting/green manuring/ tank silt recycling should be promoted.
Promoting alternate land use systems like Agri-horti system for arable lands (mango, sapota,
tamarind, jack fruit etc.) and Horti-silvi system (mango, sapota + silver oak, casurina, teak),
Silvipasture (block plantation of acacia, silver oak, casurina, D.Sisso, Meliaazardicta, cassia and
muthuga + S.hamata, S.scabra, calaproimum, anjan, Guinea macuaena, etc.) for non-arable lands.
Dryland vegetables (chilli, beans, brinjal, tomato, cluster bean, gourds etc.), Floriculture
(chrysanthemum, jasmine, crossandra marigold, roses etc.) fruits (guava, papaya, banana),
sericulture and coconut plantations should be promoted.
Livestock component (local draught animals, dairy, sheep, piggery, rabbit, apiculture) should be
developed.
COMMERCIAL CENTRE AT KANAKAPURA
There is an absence of a commercial center in the LPA. Since Kanakapura is the Taluk headquarters,
a regional commercial level should be planned in the town. The proposed landuse plan hence shows
a large area dedicated for commercial activities.
HOUSING
AUGMENTATION OF HOUSING SUPPLY
Housing Stock for both affordable and other categories has to be augmented to support the induced
population in the LPA.
Private real estate development should be encouraged and properly planned along with other models
of housing for viability and utilization of common delivery chains.
Composite and Joint venture housing schemes of the government along with private sector should be
encouraged.
P a g e | 162
25% of proposed industrial area2 should be used or housing workers and model of housing should be
subsidized by the industrial authority.
Housing Schemes such as Indira Awas Yojna, Dr.Ambedkar Housing Scheme, Ashraya Schemes
should be promoted to increase its reach among people.
SLUM IMPROVEMENT
Detail exercise of slum identification should be carried out in the LPA.
Slum development should be brought under National Programmes such as the Rajiv Awas Yojna.
Internal ear-marking of local body funds should be carried out for provision of basic services to the
poor. Security of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring
delivery of other already existing universal services of the government for education, health and
social security should be planned for. Earmarking at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing
projects (both public and private agencies) for EWS/LIG category with a system of cross-
subsidization should be carried out.
Development programmes for Slums should also be carried out under the programmes funded by
The Karnataka Slum Development Board.
ENVIRONMENT
CONSERVATION OF PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL LANDS
The Kanakapura LPA has some of the most fertile agricultural land in the BMR and has been
designated as an Agri Export Zone (AEZ). Hence all new developments and landuses have been
planned protecting the productive agricultural lands in the LPA.
PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
Sustainable agricultural practices should be followed in the LPA. Soil health should be continuously
monitored and programmes such as "Bhumi-TayiyaArogya" should be promoted to recover soil
quality and fertility. Drip Irrigation should be introduced for crops which do not require flooded fields.
2
According to Industrial Policy 2009-14
P a g e | 163
Crop rotation practices should be introduced into the cropping practice to ensure soil fertility and
productivity.
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
Integrated Water management programmes should be adopted by the municipalities and urban local
bodies to ensure sustained supply of water to the LPA. Incessant digging of bore well should be
controlled and water loss during transmission and distribution should be minimized. Waste water
treatment should be introduced to recycle and reuse waste water. All surface water bodies should be
protected, maintained and enhanced for long term ecological well-being and water supply.
MINING AND QUARRYING
Uncontrolled mining and quarrying activities should be stopped. Mining and Quarrying activities
should run with proper licensing along with detailed survey and inspection of potential damage to
natural resources, human settlements and otherwise.
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
WATER SUPPLY
Any plan on water supply must be preceded by a land use plan. New water treatment should be
planned to serve principally first to serve new development areas and then to serve the deficit areas.
Dead end system of distribution of water supply should be adopted as the network system due to its
cost advantage. Minimum capacity for water purification system must be for 1 MGD from economic
point of view, below which it is not recommended.
PROPOSALS
AUGMENTATION OF WATER AVAILABILITY FOR DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL NEEDS
The area experiences shortage of water and wells are the main modes of sustenance in rural areas
as well as part of urban areas. Ground water in this area is fast depleting. The water supply demand
P a g e | 164
for future has been discussed above. Hence supply of tap water to the LPA needs to be augmented
for both domestic and industrial use.
AUGMENTATION OF WATER QUALITY
It has been shown in the study that at present only 20% of the population in the LPA avails treated
tap water supply. At present there are no treatment plants in the LPA. Water treatment has to be
made an integral part of the water supply scheme to supply water free of iron and fluoride.
NEW WATER SUPPLY SCHEMES
The study shows that 14% of the population avail water away from their dwelling unit. Water source
close to dwelling unit should be provided in all areas – urban and rural. New water supply schemes
should be introduces to make drinking water available to all.
CREATION OF WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Water treatment plants need to be created in the LPA for providing clean drinking water. 0.22 sq. km
area has been assigned for utilities in the proposed Landuse plan of the Kanakapura LPA while
Harohalli and Kaggalipura have 0.69 and 0.19 sq. km of area assigned for utilities and services.
Treatment plants can be setup centrally for the entire LPA or decentralised in north and south zones.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Operation and maintenance of water supply pipes and water treatment plant is necessary to meet
the future demand of water. All the above strategy will fail if there is no proper maintenance. All
pipeline leakages need to be identified to prevent loss of water. While ULBs shall enhance the tariff
base over a period of time to ensure that O&M is payable from the revenues, there is an immediate
requirement of O&M funds so as to ensure that the assets created under the scheme are properly
maintained.
REDUCTION IN LOSSES IN WATER SUPPLY BY PUBLIC AWARENESS
A series of workshops should be organised across the region to create public awareness on the
importance of water as a national resource and the severe consequences of wasting and polluting
water. Industrial clusters are a source of severe water loss which can pose a serious threat in future.
The State Government along with NGOs should come forward for campaigning.
STRUCTURED PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTICIPATION
P a g e | 165
Private sector participation is desirable in the PPP format in the sector so that there is a balance
between risks and responsibilities between the government Agencies and the Private Sector.
In view of the same, private Sector Participants shall be invited to leverage on the following possible
benefits:
• Reduction of involvements of Public finance or redirecting them to the poor;
• Induction of greater technical and management expertise;
• Provision of a more responsive service to the customers;
• Sourcing of additional financing;
IMPROVEMENT OF GROUND WATER SITUATION
1. Industrial growth should be effected in a planned manner and it will be mandatory for the
units to allow periodical monitoring of water quality from nearby wells on a regular basis by
agencies like SPB/PHE and should be open for cross checking;
2. For ground water based industries, regular water level and quality monitoring have to be
made compulsory;
3. Rain water harvesting measures have to be adopted by all the industrial establishments
where the water level is not shallow;
DRAINAGE AND SANITATION
Considering that there is virtually no systematic drainage system, it is felt necessary for each city to
draw up an integrated drainage and sewerage system for the entire area. Accordingly it will be the
endeavours of the city to design and implement an integrated system on a phase wise basis. The
drainage system will be set up initially in Kanakapura and then extended to the other areas of the
region. The drainage plan shall be worked out on the basis of Master Plan, GIS, Land Use & Control
Plan and the existing Drainage Channels. Generally, drains shall be provided along the existing
roads, existing rails and proposed roads and rails. The cost of the Integrated Drainage System shall
be worked out through Detailed Studies and Assessment and will be taken up for implementation
thereafter.
P a g e | 166
However, the present situation merits urgent attention and requires implementation of immediate
improvement schemes. In view of the same, immediate action plans have been worked out for
implementation.
OBJECTIVES
To develop and improve the storm water drainage in KLPA and the new developing areas by
2031.
To solve the water logging problems in the urban areas with better networking of drains.
To cover all existing drains after their repairing by 2021.
To achieve complete coverage of sewer network in newly developing areas along with
progress of development.
To provide total sanitation to major rural areas by 2021.
To achieve complete coverage of sewerage network by 2031, since laying of sewer lines in
already developed and congested areas would be difficult.
To make KLPA free from open defecation by 2031 as per Government of India‘s total
sanitary campaign.
The Industrial waste generation has not been considered in the above calculation. Industrial waste
has to be treated separately before releasing into the network. The tolerance limit of the of the
release fluids must conform with the standards prescribed in IS:3306-1974. The volume of industrial
waste would depend on the type of industrial units proposed.
The design volume of the sewerage system would therefore be calculated on the basis of domestic
and industrial waste generated in the LPA.
PROPOSALS
IMPROVEMENT OF DRAINAGE NETWORK
The surface drains do not have total coverage in the LPA. Kanakapura town has surface drainage
system in the 5 percent of the total area. In rural areas surface drains are absent. Surface drains
have to be constructed to cover all settlement areas. Drain covers to be provided to all new and
existing drains.
P a g e | 167
COMPLETE COVERAGE OF SEWER NETWORK
The sewerage system has to be extended to cover all settlements in Kanakapura LPA. 71.6 km of
sewerage system is already under proposal to be constructed in Kanakapura town. The total area
proposed to be developed in the LPA is 27 sqkm and the total length of road network proposed is
10152 km.
Hence an additional 10125 km of sewerage network has to be constructed in order to bring the
coverage up to 100 percent. The design period of the sewerage system should at least be 30 years.
The trunk sewer line from the sources to STPs shall be laid along the contour. The advantage of
natural slopes along the streams, rivers and road network should be adopted while designing the
trunk sewer line.
TOTAL SANITATION TO RURAL AREAS: SANITARY TOILETS
Provision has to be made for assistance to BPL households to build sanitary toilets and upgrade their
septic tanks and construct soak pits, to extend sanitation facilities in the entire LPA.
CONSTRUCTION OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
Sewage treatment plants have to be constructed in the LPA for treating sewage. Tertiary treatment of
sewage can be used as a strategy for ground water recharge through reclaimed sewage, since water
scarcity is a major issue in the LPA. For treated industrial wastes to be released for irrigation
purposes, the final fluid must conform with BIS code IS: 3307-1965.The STPs shall be accessible for
ease in construction and repairing of plant and machineries.
COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
A community awareness campaign is needed to make people aware about the benefit of sewer
connections and how it can enhance the present living conditions and environmental quality in their
areas.
SAFE DISPOSAL OF WASTES AND UTILISATION
Appropriate measures have to be taken for safe disposal of septic tank and other wastes. Detachable
dumping chutes should be constructed at selected points in the sewerage system for disposing of the
P a g e | 168
night soil collected from individual houses. The sewage after treatment should be disposed of either
into a water body like lake, stream, river, ocean or into the land.
The sewage may be utilised for several purposes such as (i) Industrial reuse or reclaimed sewage
effluent in cooling systems, boiler feed, process water etc., (ii) Reuse in agriculture and horticulture,
watering of laws, golf courses etc. (iii) Ground water recharge for augmenting ground water
resources.
PUBLIC TOILETS
Provision of public toilets in the market areas and in the LIG areas.
CONSTRUCTION OF COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS
Construction of common effluent treatment plants (CETP) must be made mandatory in the industrial
areas for treatment of industrial wastes before release into the sewerage network.
MUNICIPAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Proper fund allocation must be made for operation and maintenance of the sewage system.
Appropriate organisational/ institutional framework must be provided in the newly developed areas of
Harohalli, Kaggalipura and Sathanur for operation and maintenance of sewage network.
In, India municipal wastes have to be managed as per the provisions of Municipal Solid Wastes
(Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 promulgated under Environment Protection Act, 1986. As
per these rules, all the biodegradable municipal solid wastes shall be required to be processed by
appropriate biological processing method.
Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 has made MSWM the Litigation
responsibility of Urban Local Bodies (City Corporations and Municipal Corporations), which asks for
source segregation of waste for cleaner composting and recycling. Further, the Supreme Court of
India, acting on Public interest Litigation directed all urban local governments to install scientific solid
waste treatment plants before a set deadline. Thus the installation of a scientific solid waste
management system, though a costly proposition for most of the urban bodies, has become an
P a g e | 169
imminent necessity. Also the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF), Government of India, has
issued the Municipal Solid Wastes (management and handling) Rules in the year 2000, which identify
the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) as the agency to monitor the implementation of these
rules.
PROPOSALS
INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
In view of the projected growth in population and absence of any MSW facilities it is proposed to have
Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) complex.
MANAGING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Existing municipal solid waste management system would follow the following strategies for efficient
management in the future.
COLLECTION OF WASTE
Increasing the coverage and efficiency of collection mechanism would help in better management
and in reducing the formation of unhygienic and open dump sites. Segregation of waste into
biodegradable and non-biodegradable Components shall be carried at source or at primary collection
centres.
TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WASTES
On the basis of availability of land and financial resources with the service provider, either of the
methods — aerobic composting, anaerobic Digestion or sanitary land filling could be adopted for
treatment and disposal of waste. However, since it appears that land filling would continue to be the
most widely Adopted practice in India in the coming few years, in which case certain Improvements
need to be done to ensure sanitary land filling and not mere dumping of Waste.
AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Awareness Campaign shall be carried out in order to educate the general public about the disposal of
solid waste at the right place. Awareness campaign shall also be carried out to show and illustrate the
segregation of solid waste. Benefits about cleanliness and hygienic environment should be taught.
P a g e | 170
LANDFILL FACILITY
Landfill facility is present for Kanakapura town, though it is not adequate for horizon year 2031. Land
has been allocated for utilities and services in the Landuse plan of Harohalli, Kaggalipura and
Sathanur. Land fill facilities should be located within those areas after proper design considerations.
INSTITUTIONAL AND REGULATORY REFORM
Strengthening urban local bodies to perform efficiently in managing the waste and ensuring
strict enforcement of the recently introduced municipal solid waste (Management and
handling) rules.
It is also imperative to harness and integrate the role of three emerging actors in this field —
the private sector, NGOs, and rag pickers — into the overall institutional Framework.
MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES
WASTE SEGREGATION
Many wastes are mixtures of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Much of their contents may
even be water. By segregating key toxic constituents, isolating liquid fraction, keeping hazardous
streams away from non-hazardous wastes, generator can save substantial amounts of money on
disposal or find new opportunities for recycling and reuse of wastes. The Ministry of Environment,
Government of India, had identified toxicity of different chemicals, through the ‗Manufacture, Storage
and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989‘ in exercise of power conferred by Section 6, 8 and
25 of Environment Protection (E.P). Act, 1986, and had notified mandatory requirements for its
management. In India quantum of generation of wastes (solid/liquid and hazardous/non-hazardous)
for different industry has not been detailed, which is necessary for wastes exchange system or for
adopting treatment/ disposal alternatives for different wastes segregated.
COLLECTION, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The unsatisfactory state of storage of hazardous wastes can be remedied to a large degree by such
low-cost measures as restricting access, fencing off the storage area to minimize any wind-blown
nuisance, providing separate covered storage for putrifiable of hazardous wastes, and ensuring
regular and frequent collection. There are certain measures a municipal authority can take to control
the transportation of industrial wastes, even if it does not want to become actually involved itself. For
instance, contractors should be licensed after ensuring that they are technically competent and
P a g e | 171
environmentally aware and should be allowed to handle industrial wastes. Labelling and coding of
hazardous waste load can be made mandatory so that in the event of an accident, the emergency
services know how to handle a spillage. Municipal authorities can be given the responsibility to
monitor the contractors to minimize cases of fly-tipping and ensure that industrial wastes are
disposed at the appropriate sites. If a municipal authority can also collect industrial waste; industries
must pay the charge which will be based on the quantity and nature of the waste. This might minimize
the quantity of waste produced by industry and at the same time the programme will become
financially viable and self-sustaining. The principle ‗the polluter pays‘ should be adhered to in all such
cases.
COMBINED TREATMENT FACILITIES
Small-scale industries, which contribute about more than half of the total production, also generate
huge quantity of wastes. The small-scale industries are not in a position to treat their solid wastes or
liquid effluent because of space, technical know-how and financial constraints. It is, therefore,
deemed that in a cluster of small-scale industries the different wastes are characterized, identified,
quantified and stored for treatment through a combination of recycling, recovery and reuse of
resources such as, raw material, bio-gas, steam and manure, besides providing an efficient service
facility, to make the system less expensive. The combined effluent treatment plants (CETP) are to be
operated by the local bodies, where the cost of construction, operation and maintenance need to be
shared by individual industries depending upon the quality and quantity of wastes generated.
However, such common treatment facility may require pre-treatment at individual industry to the
extent specified by the State Pollution Control Board. With regard to availability of wastes along with
their identification, quantum of waste generated should also be ascertained so that technology
development/adoption can be considered on economic grounds for a small-scale or organised sector
of industry. If economics justify movement of wastes over longer distances for a centralised plant,
specific subsidies for storage, collection and transportation could be considered. CETPs are being
successfully operated in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh and such facilities should be promoted in other
States. Small scale industries having waste characteristics similar to those of nearby large industry
having waste treatment facilities can take help in treating their wasteson payment basis.
DISPOSAL METHODS
Depending upon the characteristics of the wastes, different types of disposal methods can be used
for hazardous and non-hazardous industrial wastes. The most predominant and widely practiced
methods for wastes disposal are: (a) Landfill, (b) Incineration and (c) Composting.
P a g e | 172
Landfilling is still the major disposal method in many countries. Yet in many instances landfilling sites
are not properly chosen in terms of geophysical soil properties, hydrogeology, topography and
climate. On a proposed site there is a need to carefully consider the potential for ground or surface
water contamination from pollution by leachate migration or surface run-off from the site.
Nonetheless, even when a site appears to have the right geophysical properties, its selection and use
are not an absolute guarantee that contamination of ground water can be avoided. Hence, continuous
surveillance of the site and its surroundings must be maintained to check that the disposal of
hazardous wastes can continue without posing a threat to the environment and to the general public.
To reduce this threat landfill sites have been lined, for example with plastic materials, in order to
prevent leaching into groundwater supplies.
Landfill sites for industries should be proposed in the industrial Landuse area after proper
consideration of contours and design specifications of the industrial park.
P a g e | 173
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The pivotal role of social infrastructure in development has been recognized in the various national
and state level planning policies. In conformation with the national and state agenda, healthcare has
been given prime importance during the master planning process. A stock of existing facilities has
been taken and the deficiencies and requirements for year 2031 have been calculated. The existing
indicators of the health have been analysed and targets have been set till the year 2031.
HEALTH
INCREASING HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS
Healthcare facilities need to be augmented as per the requirement of the LPA.

INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTHCARE
Healthcare facilities should be set up for every village, cluster and major town so that basic
healthcare is accessible to all people. Regulatory and administrative framework should be
strengthened to ensure availability of medical professionals in all healthcare institutions.
Mobile health clinics can be introduced to improve accessibility in remote areas. Healthcare should
also be made a part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for the industries that would be set up in
the region.
Technology like telemedicine should be used to make healthcare accessible in remote corners of the
LPA.
HEALTHCARE MONITORING
Regular monitoring of health statistics should be undertaken in the LPA to prepare a database and
monitor increase or decrease in health status. Monitoring should be specially undertaken in and
around industrial areas to analyse the impact of industries on public health.
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Institutional and administrative framework should be strengthened and organized to ensure swift
service delivery and strict monitoring and operation of healthcare services. Decentralization of
healthcare service should also be accomplished at LPA level, wherein monitoring can be done
through Panchayats and Civil Societies.
P a g e | 174
EDUCATION
EDUCATIONAL FACILITY REQUIREMENT
The following table shows the requirement of educational facilities in the LPA. Basic education would
be strengthened by providing primary and secondary schools at settlement level ensuring proper
accessibility and connectivity from all areas of the LPA. Colleges would be provided at the three
major clusters i.e. Kanakapura, Harohalli – Kaggalipura and Sathanur. Technical Institutions,
Engineering colleges and Medical colleges would be planned across the LPA to increase technical
capacity in the workforce to match the employment potential of the region.
INCREASE LITERACY RATE IN THE LPA
The literacy rate of Kanakapura Taluk is 65.1%, whereas that in Karnataka is 75% and the national
literacy rate is 74.5%. Basic education facilities need to be strengthened to increase the literacy rate.
Education programmes such as mid-day meals, free bicycles, free uniforms and bags should be
promoted in order to achieve the goal.
INCREASE ENROLMENT RATIO IN THE LPA AND DECREASE DROPOUT RATE
There is a sharp decrease in enrolment rates in the LPA in secondary schools. Schools should be set
up within communicable distances from villages so that education is accessible to everyone.
Incentives should be provided so that students do not have to leave education to support their
families economically.
STUDENT TEACHER RATIO
Student teacher ration should meet the standards prescribed by the ‗Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Education Act 2009‘. A ratio of 1:30 should be maintained in primary schools and 1:35
should be maintained in secondary schools.
INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES IN SCHOOLS
Infrastructure facilities should be improved in schools across the LPA. Separate girls‘ toilet should be
provided in every unit. Drinking water facility and play grounds should be made compulsory in all
schools. Universally accessible design of structures should be followed for all units.

CHAPTER 10
ENFORCEMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND

EVALUATION
As per Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961, Master plan is prepared to guide and
regulate the growth of dynamic urban areas; Master Plan is a physical development plan or land use
plan and is prepared taking into account the land requirement for various uses for a growing
community.
In many ways, Master plan lays down the blueprint for the development of a region and direction in
which growth of the region must be shaped. The proposals of Master Plan have to be implemented
by all concerned stakeholders for it to be an effective instrument for urban planning. The
implementation of Master plan proposals must be reviewed on a periodic basis and a mechanism
must be in place for evaluation of the extent to which identified actions are successfully
accomplished.
10.1 ACTIONS
The identified actions for monitoring can be summarized broadly as follows:
1) To develop compact and complete urban communities
Compact community is a high density urban settlement and is the most sustainable urban form.
Compactness has many advantages, less cost of providing services, less carbon footprint, forging
strong community links being the foremost. A complete urban form has a well-defined and developed
street network with equitable allocation of road space for all modes; mixed land use that reduces the
need and length of a trip; focus on public transport and walking and cycling.
Parameters for review:
Density of development; Completeness of street network with specific focus on completion of missing
links; width and quality of footpaths; creation of bus-bays; development of bus terminals; priority to
public transport by providing dedicated lanes for buses; development of cycle tracks etc.
P a g e | 182
2) To enhance the character and quality of public realm to suit the varied requirements of
the community.
What makes an urban community liveable? Historically, many towns/cities always had a main market
streets, public plazas etc. where people could congregate and interact. The public realm comprises of
the places where the children could play; the old could meet and chat and the young could hang-out,
and the people in other age-groups could catch up with their friends after work or exercise in the
mornings or do their shopping without the threat of being run over by a passing vehicle. Public realm
must have something for every age group. Well-developed Parks, play grounds, pedestrianized
areas etc. enhance the quality of public realm.
Parameters for review: Development of parks on hierarchical basis (neighbourhood/ city /town
level); Networking of green spaces along nalas, lakes, rivers etc./ buffer spaces to form a network of
green links for walking/cycling; Pedestrianization of market streets, temple streets, heritage areas etc.
3) To proactively encourage the development of a sustainable community by

discouraging use of personal vehicles and thereby, reduce the carbon footprint of the
community.
Unbridled growth of personal vehicles adds to congestion, air-pollution and increase in unproductive
time spent in commuting for the community. Many indirect costs like parking costs are not considered
when people make a choice to buy a two-wheeler or a car as parking is free in many of our
cities/towns. Parking on streets also reduces the road width available for movement of
people/vehicles and further causes congestion problems. Like good habits that need to be inculcated
from childhood, paid parking has to be implemented irrespective of the fact that the city/town has
manageable traffic.
Parameters for review: Implementation of parking policy with parking pricing; demarcation of areas
where vehicles can be parked and where they cannot be parked; enforcement measures;
Provision of cycle parking etc.
4) To facilitate seamless freight movement while ensuring that the ambience of the city is not
affected due to movement of trucks etc. through the city.
Parameters for review: Development of designated parking areas for heavy goods vehicles/logistic
hubs.
5) To preserve historically and culturally important landmarks, and to ensure that public
infrastructure and facilities within the city/town are aesthetically designed and constructed
P a g e | 183
from architectural and functional point of view, and contribute to enhancing the ethos of the
city/town.
Parameters for review: Identification of historically and culturally important buildings and
development of plans for their preservation; developing design guidelines for new public
buildings.
6) To enhance the per-capita green space in the city/town with attention to protection of
local bio-diversity.
Parameters for review: Development of guidelines for city plantation; extent of plantation proposed
during the year etc.
10.2 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Master plan for the plan period 2031 will be successful only if the objectives listed above are
implemented in co-ordination with all implementing agencies. It is necessary to put in a mechanism
to ensure that implementation of master plan proposals are periodically reviewed.
A master plan review committee is set up under the Deputy Commissioner of the district as follows,
for this purpose.
Sl. Members
1 Deputy Commissioner of concerned District Chairman
2 Representative of B.M.R.D.A not below the rank of Deputy Director Member
3 Executive engineer, P.W.D. Member
4 Representative of Zilla Panchayat Member
5 Commissioner/ Chief Officer of respective Municipality Member
6 Member Secretary of Local Planning Authority Member-Convener
7 Representative of BWSSB,BESCOM ,KAIDB & KHB( invitees as Member

and when required)
The committee is expected to meet every quarter to review the performance with respect to specific
targets that must be identified in the first meeting of the committee. All the proposals/ projects/
schemes identified for implementation or enforcement are prioritised to be developed in phases over
the plan period of 20 years depending on the mode of development and funding.
P a g e | 184
An independent evaluation of master plan will be done by BMRDA every five years to gauge
the effectiveness of the implementation of the Master plan proposals.
10.3 FISCAL PLAN FOR 2031
The fiscal requirement for infrastructure provision based on the proposals of the Master Plan 2031,
have been calculated as shown in the table below. Unit prices have been considered from similar

PART II
ZONING REGULATIONS
Kanakapura LPA Master Plan 2031 Zoning Regulations
ZONING REGULATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In order to promote public health, safety and the general social welfare of the community, it
is necessary to apply control and reasonable limitation on the development of land and
buildings. This is to ensure that most appropriate, economical and healthy development of
the entire Kanakapura Local Planning Area including Kanakapura Town takes place in
accordance with the land use plan, and its continued maintenance over the years. For this
purpose, the LPA is divided into number of use zones, such as Residential, Commercial,
Industrial, Public and Semi Public, Park and Open Space etc. Each zone has its own
regulations, as the same set of regulations cannot be applied to the entire area.
Zonal Regulations protects residential areas from the harmful invasions of commercial and
industrial uses and at the same time promotes the orderly development of industrial and
commercial areas, by suitable regulations on spacing of buildings to provide adequate light,
air, protection from fire, etc. It prevents overcrowding in buildings and on land to ensure
adequate facilities and services.
Zoning is not retrospective. It does not prohibit the uses of land and buildings that are
lawfully established prior to the coming into effect of these Zonal Regulations. If these uses
are contrary to the newly proposed uses, they are termed non-conforming uses and are
gradually eliminated over years without inflicting unreasonable hardship upon the property
owner.
The Zonal Regulations and its enforcement ensure proper land use and development and
form an integral part of the Master Plan. It also ensures solutions to problems of
development under-local conditions.
The Zonal Regulations for Kanakapura Local Planning Area prepared under the clause (a) of
sub-section (1) of section 12 of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 are

1.2.9B Archeological/ Historical Monuments and Precincts
The historical monuments in any city reflect the past glory of the city. As they attract
tourists both from inside and outside the country. While permitting developments around
historical monuments, care has to be taken to see that their aesthetic environs are not
affected. In order to preserve aesthetic environs around these monuments it is necessary to
declare the areas surrounding these monuments as zones of special control and impose the
special regulations around these monuments.
The Archeological Survey of India has not yet declared any of the monuments in the
Kanakapura town and the State Archeological Department has also not identified any of the
monuments in the Kanakapura town.
If the Planning Authority observes any Heritage structures, precincts of historic and/or
aesthetic and/or Architectural and/or cultural or environmental significance and natural
features and sites of scenic beauty, then Authority may demarcate special Development
control areas for regulation of development around these areas, to preserve the importance
of the concerned heritage structure and also to control the surrounding developments so that
they do not mar the grandeur or beauty or view of the heritage structure for the purposes of
implementation.
A special Heritage committee may be constituted with the prior approval of the Government
to examine the proposals of development or any matter related to development, in the
various regulation areas, if received by the Authority, under the provisions of special
Regulations and to make recommendations to this Authority for consideration.
