Maharashtra government’s Dharavi development policies need to be fair to the residents

Reacting to the government policy, Babo Rao Mane, President, Dharavi Bachao Samiti & Ex-MLA Shiv Sena told B&E, “We are totally against it and will wage a war against this injustice. The families residing here should get a minimum of 400 square feet each. We have 1,50,000 families living here, but only 67,000 are getting an apartment, which is unfair to the others.” The builder mafia is ferociously ambitious to grab this prime land (worth $10 billion) and convert the garbage dump into a gold mine. The lure for lucre is so great that foreign builders, Emaar & Al- Nakheel (from Dubai), an investment fund from New York and our domestic giants Reliance, DLF, Larsen & Toubro, HDIL et al, are vying to have a piece of cake. Talking about the bids, Ashok Kumar Gupta, Director, HDIL said to B&E, “We are looking forward to the bids for rehabilitation of Dharavi slums. We have a strong presence in Mumbai and our company has several on-going slum rehabilitation schemes.” Babo Rao Mane however feels that, “The government has sold out to the builders lobby. Earlier, government said that they will take the consent of 70% people at Dharavi, but then conveniently broke this promise. Government is resorting to dadagiri.”

That doesn’t really surprise a majority of economists and analysts. Says well known economist, Jay Dubashi, “In my view, it is an anachronism to have a market economy a n d five year plans together. It is not possible. Both are contradictions in terms.” Of course, no one denies that planning remains a critical requirement even for modern capitalistic economies (See box). Yet, those are the strategies adopted by policy makers for Five Year Plans and the manner in which they are implemented that have spelt doom for the otherwise noble aspirations of Five Year Plans. The Tenth Five Year Plan is a classic example of why and how planning – despite its immense promise and potential – has failed in India.
