Preface
The Mysore City is located at 76
o
12 (East) longitude and 12
o
18 (North) latitude. It is the
second single largest city in the state of Karnataka. It was the capital of the former princely state
of Mysore and is now a divisional headquarters having a population of about 9.95 lakhs, as per
provisional population table of Mysore 2011.
Mysore City is one of the important tourist destinations in India. The major touristic spots are
Mysore Palace, Zoo gardens, Somanathpura Temple, nearness to Wildlife Sanctuaries, like
Bandipur Reserve Forest, Nagarhole Reserve Forest and its proximity to world famous Belur &
Halebedu Temples, which are just within 160 km from the Mysore City. It is the second cleanest
city in India as per 2010 survey.
The State government, under the provisions of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act
1961, which provide for regulation of planned growth of land-use and development for Urban
Areas, constituted a City Planning Authority for Mysore for preparation of development plans
for the Mysore Local Planning Area. The Planning Authority for this Local Planning Area
prepared a Comprehensive Development Plan for the Mysore City Local Planning area and the
same was approved by government (final) in 1981. The Local Planning Area was subsequently
extended during 1983 to include Nanjangud and environs, and the total extent of the combined
Local Planning Area was 495.32 sq km .
The Mysore Urban Development Authority was constituted under the provisions of the KUDA
Act 1987, on 16.05.1988 & the Urban Development Authority took up the planning functions, as
provided under sec (69) of the Act. A separate planning wing headed by the Town Planner
Member of the Authority came in to being, and the Urban Development Authority started
functioning as the Planning Authority for the Mysore- Nanjangud Local planning Area.
Revision of Master Plan (Revision-I) was taken up by MUDA and the Master Plan was finally
approved by Govt. vide Govt. order No. HUD/337/TTP 96 dated 16.5.1997, for the plan period
up to 2011 A.D. As per Sec13 (D) of KTCP Act 1961, revision of Master Plan was supposed to
have been taken i.e. before 2007, but fixing up the agency for preparation of Master Plan and
obtaining of GIS maps has taken much time.
Now, the Authority has taken all steps to take up the revision of Master Plan & SAI Consulting
Engineers Pvt. Ltd, Ahmedabad is fixed as Agency for Preparation of Master Plan. The revision
of the Master Plan (Revision II) includes a total area of 509 sq km including the recently added
villages to the Local Planning Area. The Draft Master Plan prepared by the Town Planner
Member, through SAI Consulting Engineers, Ahmedabad, was considered by the Authority in its
meeting held on 24.01.2011 vide subject no. 2, and resolved to submit the Draft Plan to
government for provisional approval. The Authority has, on this occasion also resolved to thank
all the concerned who have made it possible to finalize the Draft Master Plan. Particular mention
is made in respect of the Mysore City Corporation and the Town Municipal Council, Nanjangud
for their suggestions offered during the presentations made before them by the Town Planner
Member. The authority also thanks Sri H. B. Mukunda, Director of Town Planning, Bangalore,
for his valuable suggestions offered during the several reviews of the Draft Plan on all his visits
to the Authority. The Authority also wishes to thank the various department heads in the Local
Planning Area for offering their useful suggestions during the stakeholders meeting. The
Authority is also thankful to the technical staff of the TPM Section and also the technical staff of
SAI Consulting Engineers and the Planning Advisors to the Consultants for their efforts in
finalizing the Draft Master Plan.

believed to have been founded in 1399 near the modern city of Mysore. The Wodeyar family,
initially served as a vassal state of the Vijayanagara Empire, ruled the kingdom. With the decline
of the Vijayanagara Empire by 1565, the kingdom became independent. The 17
th
century saw a
steady expansion of its territory and under Narasaraja Wodeyar I and Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar;
the kingdom annexed large expanses of what is now southern Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu
to become a powerful state in the South. The maps below show the territory of Mysore Kingdom
in 1703 and at the turn of the 17
th
century where the kingdom had shrunk and was surrounded by
the British dominance areas.

In defining the individuality of Mysore City, it is difficult to avoid a comparison with Bangalore,
which essentially means focusing on their contrast. Bangalore developed mainly as a British
cantonment after Tipus fall, its dominant character being that of a typical cantonment, with its
largely European Classical public buildings, shopping malls, parade routes and barracks,
churches and colonial bungalows. Mysore, on the other hand, has retained its studiously built
character of a native princely city: its ambience and atmosphere are characterized largely by
the towering presence of the Amba Vilas palace, the focal point of the citys meticulous planning
and symmetrical axis. There is a very palpable impression left by the Maharajas, their Dewans
and the talented luminaries of their durbars, on the citys heritage of numerous buildings,
gardens, boulevards and planned markets each having a bearing to a master concept of the
overall aesthetics. Apart from the royal aura of its palaces and stately public buildings, the city
exudes a locally cultivated bouquet of civic planning and orchestrated architecture, which puts it
in a class by itself. It is almost as if a poet architect planner had let himself go with a computer
designer and come up with an inspired mosaic of palaces, promenades, colonnaded markets,
mohallas, parks, statue circles, vistas and water bodies.
Among the casualties of the modern day approach to urban planning and civic architecture;
thanks to the mounting pressure on building space and the rapidly escalating land values is the
time honoured principles which must dictate the spatial setting of a public building, especially a
major edifice planned in a focal area of the city. It is too often forgotten that space, particularly
the foreground, has to be tailor made to the size and expanse of the structure. Urban planning and
architectural conceptualization of civic structures and monuments in the earlier eras - especially
the era of Krishnaraja Wodeyar, Sir M. Visveshwaraya and Sir Mirza Ismail in the erstwhile
Mysore State are a lesson in the richly rewarding application of these principles. Examples
abound in Mysore City especially in the half century of its development after 1890 of integrally
planned complexes, comprising whole sections of the city, in which suitable extents of land, as
dictated by the aesthetics of the structure, were assigned to individual buildings. As part of the
same concern for city aesthetics, spaces measured to scale were set apart for plazas, promenades
and parks in the overall setting of which they formed a part. Mysore is, besides, a city of long
boulevards radiating from a well-defined central axis, with well-recessed public buildings
balanced on either side: a model for any town-planner. This is prominent from the city plan of
1861 and 1902 shown below. The city is planned with boulevards and wide roads. The maps
below show the growth of the city of Mysore since 1865 to 1903. Mysore also had the privilege
to have the first City Improvement Trust Board to be formed in India in 20
th
century.

The civic architecture of Mysore is a blend of the Indo-Saracenic and European-Classical.

There
is, besides, a sprinkling of some remarkable colonial-style, ridge-roofed, monkey-top
bungalows in the Bangalore tradition, which lend variety and distinction to the citys
architectural scene. The European Classical public buildings and mansions which came up in the
city between 1805, when the residency building was completed, and the 1940s especially in the
decades which followed the rendition of 1881 are a tribute to the cultivated building sense of
their builders whether the British or the Maharajas and their Dewans. It is obvious that they
wanted these structures both to enhance the citys skyline and to proclaim a benign rule: for
every stately residential mansion, palace or courtiers residence that they built, they also built ten
times as many buildings for the public.
Though many public buildings of the era were built in self consciously Hindu or pointedly Indo
Saracenic style, the European-Classical became, for a long spell, the fashionable vogue, being
modern and imported. The buildings at the beginning of the nineteenth century, were in any
case built or influenced by the British Residents, Commissioners or tutors and guardians of
royalty, who had not yet learnt to appreciate Indias own tradition of sophisticated and
environment-adapted architecture. Among the European Classical buildings built in this era, the
Government House and Yelwala Residency stand out for their restrained and dignified classicism
unmixed with extraneous element, stylistic or decorative.
The buildings of European Classical style built by the Maharajas carry a typical quaint touch
found only in Mysore City and rarely in the more British Bangalore. The Hindu motif in the
Graeco-Roman pediment or other focal point of the faade much like the three piece-suited local
aristocracy and bureaucracy of the times who found nothing incongruous in wearing the gold-
striped Mysore turban and even the denominational mark on the forehead. The Oriental (Jubilee)
Institute, the Dewans Katchery (District Offices, Gordon Park), Chaluvamba Vilas (C.F.T.R.I)
and the Krishnarajendra Hospital are among the most remarkable buildings in this group. Lalit
Mahal by far the most outstanding European-Classical building of the city outshines and towers
over all the other European-Classical buildings, alike with its scale, its purity of Wren like lines,
its profusion of decorative elements and its tailor-made and dream-like setting. Both
Chamarajendra Wodeyar and the Maharani Regent commissioned many distinguished buildings
including some remarkable buildings in the European- Classical style between 1881 and 1902.
However, it is Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Saint King, who stands out among the great
builders of Mysore City and creator of its remarkable aesthetics: perhaps no other princely
builders of the present century can match his record of buildings commissioned or inspired by
him. The map below shows the Mysore city planned with wide road, boulevards, housing
layouts, public buildings and large open green areas developed by 1930.

The residential localities of Mysore have the Mohalla or Agrahara character, which is rare to
find in Bangalore, even in the older Pettah areas of that city. Many of these mohallas or
Agrahara were founded by the earlier Maharajas some going back more than 200 years and
remain with their original names and more or less the original shapes. Maharaja Krishnaraja
Wodeyar III, who spent most of his long reign sulking behind the curtain which had been
metaphorically drawn over him by the British in 1831, founded a few good mohallas in the
city. Hayavadana Rao, author of the monumental Mysore Gazetteer, notes in 1927: the present
Hale-Agrahara, the Fort, Dodda Petta and the Lashkar Mohalla mainly constituted the limits of
the old town of Mysore in the early days of the 19
th
century.
It was only during the 70s and 80s of the last century that some kind of systematic improvement
in the city was taken up. Schemes for decongestion of the Fort were formulated. Purnaiahs Nalla
was partially filled and the present day Sayaji Rao Road was formed over it. The ditch around
the fort was similarly filled and converted into Curzon Park. The first few sewerage works were
taken up. A statute to govern municipal work was introduced in 1888.
The Great Plague of 1898 infused urgency into the city improvement measures and soon after, a
City Improvement Trust was set up. New extensions, parks and markets were laid out and a
comprehensive system of drainage later developed and completed on elaborate lines by Sir. M.
Visveshwaraya was adopted in 1910. The city got its electric lighting about this time. It was,
again, around this time that the citys exemplary and spacious planning was conceived and put
on the drawing board. These years also mark the beginning of the Citys golden era of
architecture. Work on the Amba Vilas Palace had already begun and the stately Krishnarajendra
Hospital building precUrsor of many more imposing public buildings was to come up just a few
years later.
Though a city with a hoary past, the present day Mysore, its setting and its architecture have
taken shape mostly in the last century. It is an impressive saga of the work commissioned by
highly cultured and public-spirited Maharajas and their Dewans a glittering string of visionary
administrators. It must, however, be said to the credit of Mysore Citys architecture and city
aesthetics that almost none of its new buildings obscures or undermines its distinguished
predecessors. Again, the citys newer, PWD built public buildings like the Rangamantapa
building commemorating Vishwa Kannada Sammelana (1986) are better in style and elevation
composition than comparable buildings in Bangalore though that may not be saying much.
Today, Mysore is Karnataka's second largest city and according to the state government, it is
poised to take off as the newest destination for investment in the industrial, educational and
tourism sectors. Mysore over the past decades transformed itself into a destination for modern
industries in the manufacturing, service and Information Technology sectors.
The LPA also consists of the town of Nanjangud, which is one of the historic temple towns of
south India. Nanjangud is located on the bank of river Kabini. Nanjangud is a temple town well
known for the Nanjundeshwara or Srikanteswara temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is one
of the ancient temples located within the region. The great ruler of Mysore Haider Ali Khan and
his son Tipu Sultan of Mysore were great patrons of the God Nanjunda of the Nanjundeshwara.
A major event in Nanjangud town is the Rathotsava or the car festival of Nanjundeshwara.
Nanjangud is a home to many industries, which are mainly located in the Nanjangud Industrial
Area. It all started with the now closed Sujatha Textile Mills, which at its peak used to employ
about 3,000 people. However, there are other industries, which thrived. Some of the major
businesses located in and around Nanjangud are Nestle India Ltd, AT&S India Pvt. Ltd., TVS
Motor Company, Bannari Amman Sugars Ltd, South India Paper Mills, S. Kumars, Reid &
Taylor, ABB, Jubilant Organosys and Indus Fila to name a few.
1.2 Regional Setting
1.2.1 Physical Environment
Mysore district lies in the Southern maidan (Southern Plateau) and it is in the southernmost part
of Karnataka State. Physiographically, the region in which the district is found may be classified
as maidan and partly semi malnad (malnad hilly lands). The district forms the southern part of
the Deccan peninsula with Tamil Nadu to its southeast, the Kodagu district to its west, Mandya
district to its north, Hassan district to its northwest and Bangalore district to its northeast. Mysore
district forms a distinct land unit, besides being a cultural entity lying between 1130' N to
1250' N latitudes and 7545' E to 7745' E longitudes. It covers an area of 6854 sq. km. that is,
3.57 per cent of the states total geographical area. It holds the sixth place in the state in terms of
the area with a population of 2.641 million in 2001.
1.2.2 Location and Area
The region lies on the Deccan plateau, east of the hilly Malenadu region, which includes the
eastern foothills of the Western Ghats range. The LPA consists of gently rolling plains,
punctuated by several of the large rivers that rise in the Western Ghats and flow eastward to
empty into the Bay of Bengal. Mysore region, also known as the Southern Karnataka Plateau, is
made up of the low rolling granite hills from 600 to 900 meters elevation. It is bounded on the
west by the Western Ghats and on the south and east by ranges of hills, and on the north it drops
to the lower-elevation northern Maidan. It includes Bangalore, Bangalore Rural, Chamrajnagar,
Hassan, Kolar, Mandya, Ramanagara and Tumkur districts. Most of the region is covered by the
South Deccan Plateau dry deciduous forests eco region, which extends south into eastern Tamil
Nadu. Some of the larger cities and towns of the Maidan include Bangalore, Mysore, Tumkur,
Chitradurga, Bellary and Davangere. Agriculture and animal husbandry are the mainstays of the
region, and the main crops include cotton, sorghum, millet, and peanuts. The region lies in the
rain shadow of the Western Ghats, and is generally much drier than coastal Karnataka and the
Western Ghats. It was originally covered by extensive, open-canopied tropical dry deciduous
forests, characterized by the trees Acacia, Albizia and Hardwickia, but much of the original
forest has been cleared for agriculture, timber, grazing and firewood. Overexploitation of the
forests for fuel wood and fodder has resulted in much of the original forest being degraded into
thickets and scrublands.
1.2.3 Linkages
Mysore is located about 140 km from Bangalore and well connected by rail and road to parts of
the state and the country. A network of state highway and national highways connects the city to
various nearby towns and the neighboring states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Bangalore is
connected to Mysore via the state highway 17. This road has now been widened to a four-lane
highway, which passes through towns of Ramanagara, Chennapatnam, Maddur, Mandya,
Srirangapatnam and enters Mysore city from the north east side. This highway has been
upgraded to a four lane recently in 2006. This has now reduced the travel time drastically than
before. There is also a proposal for a Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure corridor; which will have
a four lane dedicated express highway between Bangalore and Mysore. It is assumed that this
express highway will reduce the travel time to 90 minutes. The state highway 88 passes through
Mysore connecting the towns of Mangalore through Hunsur. The state highway 33 passes
through Mysore, Bannur, Malavalli, Kanakapura and hits in to Bangalore.
The railway line from Mysore goes to Bangalore and Arsekere in North and to Chamrajnagar in
the south. At this point of time, the double tracking of the Bangalore link is under progress.
In order to improve air connectivity with the major cities of the country, up gradation and
expansion of the existing airport under the first phase is completed and is open for air traffic.
Mysore is well connected to nearby towns like Hunsur, Bannur, K. R. Nagar, H. D. Kote, T.
Narsipur, Mandya, Maddur, Kollegal and Malavadi.
1.2.4 Climate
The district enjoys cool and equable temperature. Mysore shares the wider climatic pattern of the
state as a whole, although there are some distinctive features. The climate of the district
described is essentially tropical monsoon type, which is a product of the interplay of the two
opposing air masses of the southwest and northeast monsoons.
The minimum temperature in winter is around 15C and in summer, the maximum temperature is
around 35C. Mysore gets most of its rains during the monsoon between June to September. The
temperatures during the cold weather season (November to February) ranges from 16.1C to
31.3C. The hot weather season begins in the month of March and increases in its intensity
towards the end of May. In this season, the temperature ranges from 19C to 35C. Land
becomes very hot and there is a wide range of variations between day and night temperatures.
However, there is occasional relief from pre-monsoon thunderstorms.
1.2.4.1 Southwest Monsoon
The southwest monsoon sets in about the end of June and it continues with some intervals until
the end of September. It is dominant in the district and it brings heavy rains to this region. The
district receives a major portion of its rainfall from the southwest monsoon. The normal annual
rainfall is around 760 mm, spread over a period of four months. The annual average rainfall
ranges between 600 mm and 1,100 mm.
1.2.4.2 Northeast Monsoon
The northeast monsoon commences in October and ceases by the end of December. The
monsoon winds bring some rain to the eastern parts of the district. The duration of the monsoon
is shorter, rains are also very low, and they are confined to smaller area of the district.
1.2.5 Temperature
Temperature influences considerably the socio economic activities of the people in a region. The
district in general enjoys cool and equable temperature. In the period from March to May, there
is a continuous rise in temperature. April is the hottest month with the mean daily maximum
temperature at 35C and the daily minimum at 21C. Please refer to the table for temperature for
Mysore and Nanjangud taluka.
1.2.6 Humidity
Relative humidity is generally high during the southwest monsoon season. Relative humidity is
about 70 per cent throughout the year, while in the afternoons, humidity is comparatively lower
except during the southwest monsoon. The period January to April is the driest part of the year
with relative humidity of about 30 per cent and still lower in the afternoons.
1.2.7 Rainfall
The variation in the annual rainfall from year to year is not large during the 85 years from 1901
to 1985, the highest annual rainfall amounting to 156 per cent of the annual rainfall that occurred
in 1903 and the lowest occurred in 1918. In the same 85-year period, the annual rainfall was less
than 80 per cent of the normal rainfall in 7 years, none of them consecutive, considering the
rainfall at the individual stations. However, two or three consecutive years of good rainfall
occurred once or twice at fifty-two out of sixty-five rain gauge stations. It has been observed that
the average annual rainfall in the district was between 600 mm and 900 mm in 66 years out of
the 85 years. Refer to the table below for the average annual rainfall for Mysore below.

Source: Karnataka Government Bureau of Economics and Statistics
The distribution in the district is confined to the months of April to September. January receives
the lowest rainfall of 2.02 mm. The rainfall from June to September constitutes only about 55.07
per cent of the annual rainfall. The rainfall during the pre-monsoon months of April and May and
during the post monsoon months of October and November are as much as 25.37 percent and
15.13 per cent, of the annual rainfall respectively.
1.2.8 Special Weather Phenomena
During October and November, some of the depressions and cyclonic storms which originate in
the Bay of Bengal, cross the east coast and move across the peninsula. Such depressions and
storms pass through or remain in the neighborhood of the district causing widespread, heavy
rains and high winds. Thunderstorms are common during the hot season and the post monsoon
months.
1.2.9 Geology
Geologically, the district is mainly composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks of Pre-
Cambrian age either exposed at the surface or covered with a thin mantle of residual and
transported soils. The rock formation in the district falls into two groups, charnockite series and
granite genesis and gneissic granite. A wide area of the district consists of charnockite series of
rocks, particularly along the southeastern borders of Yelandur and Biligirirangana hills and at the
western border near Hangod in Hunsur Taluk. The intervening ground consists of granitic
genesis with thin beds, lenses and elongated runs of various hornblendic rocks, pyroxenites and
durities containing chromate and manganese. Dolerites are in large numbers to the west of
Hunsur and Gundelpet taluka. These rocks are of great economic importance because of the
presence of graphite, corundum and granites in them. They extend from Bilikere region up to the
southern border of the district in the south-southwest direction for nearly 50 km. Fine textured
granite beds are found in Mysore taluka and around Mysore city.
1.2.10 Drainage System
Mysore district is endowed with a number of perennial and non-perennial rivers. The Cauvery
and Kabini rivers are essentially the two major rivers within the LPA. The Cauvery, which is the
major river system of the district, traverses the Mysore plateau from northwest to east along with
its tributaries Kabini, Suvarnavathi, Laxmanathirtha and others. The total catchment area of the
river is the second largest in the State and it covers nearly 18 per cent of the land area of the
State. It is the only river, which has been harnessed for irrigation from ancient times, and it is
estimated that as much as 95 per cent of its surface flow is put to use before it enters into the Bay
of Bengal. The Kabini river passes through the LPA on the northern bank of Nanjangud town. It
is one of the major sources of water supply for the Nanjangud Town.
1.2.11 Soil
Soil is a natural resource, forms base for growth of natural vegetation, agriculture crops,
horticulture plantation and fodder. The soils of the districts can broadly be classified as laterite,
red loam, sandy loam, red clay and black cotton soils. The laterite soil occUrs mostly in the
western part of the district while the red loam soils are found in the northwest. In the talukas of
T. Narsipur and Nanjangud, there is deep red loam occasionally interspersed with black soils.
The red soils are shallow to deep well drained and do not contain lime nodules. The black soils
are 1 to 1.5 meter in bases with good water holding capacity for a longer time.
1.2.12 Natural Vegetation
Mysore has two types of forests and they are moist deciduous where the rainfall is 900-1100 mm
and dry deciduous where the rainfall is 700-900 mm. Mysore district is the third richest in forest
wealth in the State. The Principal species of trees in the forests are teak, honne, rosewood,
dindiga, eucalyptus and sandalwood. Indirectly, forests of the region confer various ecological
benefits on the land such as salubrious climate and good rainfall.
1.3 Local Planning Area of Mysore - Nanjangud
Mysore is the second largest and one of the important cities in Karnataka after Bangalore where
urban sprawl is taking place at a faster pace. Realising the importance, Mysore city planning
authority was first constituted in the year 1966 for the LPA for Mysore city, which included
entire Mysore City Municipal Area, 13 numbers of villages of Srirangapatna and 43 villages of
Mysore taluka. The LPA has been revised by government several times on the recommendations
of the State Town Planning Board, in view of the need to bring these additional areas for
regulation of development, from time to time. The development plans for these LPA have been
prepared and enforced by the City Planning Authority as provided under the provisions of KTCP
Act 1961.
The present LPA includes Mysore City Corporation area, Nanjangud Town Municipal Council
area, 84 villages within Mysore taluka, 19 villages within Nanjangud taluka and 14 villages
within Srirangapatna taluka. It covers an area of 509.03 sq. km. The list of various urban areas
and rural areas of the Mysore Nanjangud Local Planning Area and the running boundary is given
below:

In the Mysore city corporation area, there are 65 corporation wards with wide variations of
density. The densest ward is ward no. 60 where the density was 925 persons per hectare while
the lowest dense ward was ward no. 65 which was the lowest during the year 2001. The other
dense wards have variations between 208 persons per hectare to 659 persons per hectare in as
many as 15 wards. The rest of the wards have relatively low density. It may be observed that the
densely populated wards are in planning district nos. 1, 2, 3 and 7 located on the north eastern
part of the city and in planning district numbers 12, 13 and 15 in the southern part of the city.
Rest of the planning district located in the north, west and the south east have relatively low
population density.
In Nanjangud Town Municipal area, there are 27 municipal wards. It is observed that there are
wide variations i.e. from 694 persons per hectare in ward no. 12 to 6 persons per hectare in ward
no. 27, which includes the industrial area. Ward no. 3, 9, 11, 12, 16 and 17 are observed to be
relatively denser. It is observed that the old town part (southern portion is densely populated) and
ward no. 12 located on the west of Bangalore-Nilgiri road also shows a high density.
2.3 Population Composition
The total population of the LPA, as per 2001 census was 1,023,166 out of which 521,758 are
males and 501,408 are females. The breakup of population, age group wise for Mysore urban and
Nanjangud urban areas given in table 2-4 and 2-5, which shows that in Mysore urban area, the
male population was 406,363 and that of female population, was 392,865. This shows a sex ratio
of 967 and in the case of Nanjangud Town, the corresponding population figures were 24,393
and 23,839. The sex ratio was 977.
The sex ratios during 2001, both in Mysore (Urban) and that of Nanjangud Town very nearly
tally with that of the Mysore District population sex ratio of 965. As could be seen from the
above data, we may infer that the migration that might have occurred has not followed the male
selective migration, which would be a probable indication of large-scale employment oriented
migration. The structure of population during the year 2001 for urban areas with particular
reference to Mysore city and Nanjangud Town are given in the tables below. Table showing the
Age-Sex structure of the Mysore city (Urban) and Nanjangud for 2001are given below.

2.4 Occupational Structure of Population
A study of the industrial classification of workers during the census decades of 1981 & 2001
may appear relevant here, which give the pattern of employment of the citys population in the
various industrial categories of workers. However, the census categorization of workers in the
secondary and tertiary sectors is not bifurcated to clearly access the sector of employment. Only
the workers participation aspect and the dominance of the urban character can be visualized. The
particulars of workers in Mysore & Nanjangud urban area are extracted from the census tables
and are given below for purposes of analysis. The tables below give the extract of the industrial
category of workers for 1981 & 2001 for Mysore & Nanjangud urban areas.

In 1981 census data in Mysore, we observe that there are 131,794 main workers in a total
population of 479,081. Thus the workers participation rate was 27.51p.c. The component of the
main workers other than the agricultural laborers, cultivators and household industry workers is
the bulk of the main workers (i.e. 122,223), which account for 92.73% of the total main workers.
In 2001 census data in Mysore urban area, there were 265,973 workers, which constituted
33.28% of the total population. The main workers (i.e. 253,518) accounted for 95.31%. The
component of other main workers (242,237) is 95.55%.
It may be observed that in 1981 the worker participation rate in Mysore was 27.51%, whereas
during 2001 the same is observed to be 33.28%. In the case of Nanjangud town, during 1981, the
worker participation rate was 30.69% and during 2001it was 34.09%.
As per the age group of Population in Mysore urban and Nanjangud town worked out (vide
tables 2-6 and 2-7 given above). Employment potential in the working age group (20-59), is
observed to be 55% of the total population in the case of Mysore urban area, 53% of the total
population in Nanjangud urban area which constitutes the working age group in the year 2001.
2.5 Population Projection Methods
The various methods, which are generally adopted, for projecting future populations by
demographers are cited below. Some of these methods are used when the design period is small
and some are used when the design period is large. The particular method to be adopted for a
particular case or for a particular city depends largely upon the factors discussed in these
methods. However, none of these methods are exact, and they are all based on laws of
probability, and thus, only approximate estimates for the possible future populations can be
made.
2.5.1 Arithmetic Increase Method
This method is based upon the assumption that the population increases at a constant rate: i.e.
the rate of change of population with time is constant.
The population data for the last five decades, is, therefore, obtained and the population increase
per decade is calculated the average of which (X) is then used as the design growth rate for
computing future population.
Therefore final form of Arithmetic Increase Method is: Pn= [Po+ n. (X)]
Where P
n
= Prospective or forecasted population after n decades from present (i.e. census 2001)
P
o
=Base Population (Census 2001)
n = No. of decades
(X) = Average of population increases in the known decades
2.5.2 Geometric Increase Method
In this method, the per decade percent growth rate (r) is assumed to be constant, and the increase
is compounded over the existing population every decade. This method is, therefore, also known
as uniform increase method.
The basic difference between arithmetic and geometric progression methods of forecasting future
populations is that: whereas, in arithmetic method no compounding is done; in geometric method
compounding is done every decade. The computations in two methods are, thus, comparable to
simple and compound interest computations, respectively
Therefore final form of Geometric Increase Method is: P
n
= {P
o
[1+r/100] n}
Where P
o
= Base Population
P
n
= Future population after n decades
r = Mean growth rate (%)
2.5.3 Trend Method (Method of least squares)
The population projections made by this method is based on working out the trend of population
growth experienced during the past by a statistical analysis. The projected population is given by
the formulae
y= ab
x

Where y = prospective population
a and b are the constants which can be determined by using the following two simultaneous
equations namely
log y = log a + log b (1)
y=A + Bx (2)
The normal equations to determine the values of A and B are
y=NA + Bx and
y=A x + Bx
2

2.5.4 Exponential Method
In this method, the population of the future decades is projected assuming the growth rate will
follow an exponential growth. The method involves determining the growth rate using the
formulae given below.

Pt = P
0
e
rt
where,

P
0
= base population
P
t
= prospective population
e

= exponential constant
r = growth rate and
t = time period
2.6 Population Projection for 2031
Population projections as obtained from the various methods cited above are given in the table
given below. The Local Planning Area for Mysore-Nanjangud is conveniently grouped under
four categories for design purpose which are as follows:
Mysore Urban
Nanjangud Urban
KRS Area
Other Rural Area (LPA Rural)

Note * constant growth is considered.
The projected population is an assessment based on the assumption that the rates, at which the
city has grown during the previous decades would continue even during the coming decades up
to the design period i.e. 2031. However, it would be more appropriate to analyse the probable
situation that is likely to be during the coming years.
As is well known, Mysore and its environ has many factors which act as catalyst for further
growth. To cite a few, the Mysore-Bangalore rail link is getting a boost. The number of trains
between Mysore-Bangalore has increased in the recent past and the ongoing track doubling
project will further increase the passengers & freight traffic. The Express Highway between the
cities and the completion of the B.M.I.C.P.A proposals (i.e. the completion of the express
highway project) will increase the interaction and the investments in the city and commuter
traffic will increase several fold. The commissioning of the Airport, which is located in the LPA,
will give further boost. Tourism sector may also grow. In view of all these infrastructure
development and the existing tourism potential in the LPA, the IT-BT investments, and the
proposals of KIADB to develop more industrial area may encourage further development.
On a perusal of the population projection by various methods, it is observed that the Geometric
method, the exponential method and the Trend Methods (Method of least squares), more or less
tally. A growth of about 39 percent is seen, based on the past trends.
However, in view of the factors cited above the most probable reality in the coming design
period will not be the same as the past trends, which was the basis on which the population
projections were attempted. Hence, it will be more appropriate to assume a higher growth rate
for purposes of design. Therefore, a growth rate of 40 percent is assumed for the major urban
areas in the LPA, i.e. Mysore city and Nanjangud Town. At this rate of growth, the present
population of Mysore urban area (i.e. for 2009) works out to 10.55 lacs and in the case of
Nanjangud 63600.
Further, it is also observed that many rural pockets immediately around the Mysore city is
already showing growth trend and many pockets of land around these villages have already been
either converted for non agricultural uses or they are recommended for the change of land use.
The village Gramatanas will be encircled within these developments and these Gramatanas are
sure to become urban villages. The population of these villages as per 2001 was 60,037 and their
population for 2011, 2021 & 2031, as per the taluka rural growth rate works out to 71,500 ,
85,000 & 100,000 respectively. Therefore, the population of Mysore city for the plan period (i.e.
by 2031)) may be assumed as 21.00 lakhs (including the probable urban villages within the
developable limits) and the population of the Nanjangud Town would be about 110,000. The
population in various areas of local planning area, for design period is presented in the following
table.

Chapter 03
Economic Base
3 Economic Base
3.1 Introduction
The economic base of the urban area will be best judged from the data of the occupation of the
working population of the city or town. It is also important to know the trend of pattern of
employment over the history of the area and also the future possibilities, to assess function of the
urban area at different points of time.The definition of the worker and reference period during
the various census operations are not uniform. Therefore, comparison of the available data on the
industrial classification of workers is not possible. Therefore, it will be more appropriate to study
the growth of the various activities or areas like the industries, trade and commerce and other
tertiary activities observed from other records. An attempt is made here to analyse the various
economic activities in the LPA and relate it to the land use pattern.
3.2 Industrial Sector
In Mysore local planning area, the major industrial area has been developed by KIADB, in the
Hebbal Industrial Estate. Similarly such industrial estates have been developed in Thandavapura
and Nanjangud. Industrial estate exists at five places namely Hebbal, Belavadi, Hootgalli,
Belagola and Metagally. Major industries like Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML), Kirloskar,
Vikrant Tyres, Jay Bearings, Automotive Axel, etc have come up here. High
technology/software technology training center like Infosys, Wipro, L&T, SPI, etc. have also
come up here. In Nanjangud the industrial estate is developed in north western part of the town,
where industries like AT&S, Nestle, granite cutting industries, Reid and Taylor, cement building
blocks, etc have come up here. The TVS Company is located in Nanjangud Taluka just outside
the LPA in Sindhuhalli village limits, which is close to Kadakola. Similarly Bannari Amma
Sugar factory is located just outside the LPA, on Nanjangud Chamrajnagar road. In
Thandavapura, an industrial estate is being developed, where we find the South India Paper
Mills, Raman Boards and a number of granite cutting industries. The table below gives the list of
the various types of industries in Mysore Nanjangud obtained from the Industries Association of
Mysore.

A review of the taluka plan statistics published by the District Statistics Officer, Mysore has
revealed some of the useful data regarding the industrial activity in Mysore and Nanjangud
Taluka. These do not give exact picture of the figure in the LPA, but is useful to draw inference
as Mysore and Nanjangud urban areas are the only urban areas in these talukas. It may be seen
that there are 449 factories like textile industries, engineering products, wood and paper units,
etc. of the different employing capacities where 71,740 employees which account for 93.48% of
the total employees in similar categories of Industries in the district.

Total for the Talukas 64,732
District Total 491 68,840
Source: Mysore District Statics at a Glance 2006-07
Similarly, the data on small scale industrial (SSI) units of various categories registered in District
Industries Center (DIC) as on 31.03.2007 show a total number of 14,179 SSI units employing
71,740 employees in Mysore and Nanjangud Talukas. It is observed that 75% of the total
employed in the districts is in Mysore and Nanjangud Taluka.
In the present land use pattern (2009) of Mysore - Nanjangud LPA reveals that in Mysore, the
total area under industrial use is 1194.74 Ha, out of the total area of 13959.85 Ha of urbanised
area. This means that the component of the industrial use is 8.56 percent of the total developed
area. Similarly, in Nanjangud town the total area under industrial use is 221.71 Ha, out of total
developed area of 1021.87Ha, which is 21.53 percent of total developed area. This is a reflection
of the present character of the function of the town.
3.3 Trade and Commerce
The rich agriculture belt under Cauvery and Kabini river command area surrounds both Mysore
city and Nanjangud town. There are two regulated markets, one each at Mysore and Nanjangud
and one sub market in Nanjangud taluka (outside LPA). The turnover in these wholesale markets
is of Rs. 255.37 crores and Rs. 45.56 crores respectively. This accounts for 44.5% and 5% of the
district total turnover. The table below gives the types of commercial activity in the Mysore City
Corporation area.

The data reveal that there are 43,370 shops, which include the formal and informal shops for
which trade licenses are issued, or some form of toll is collected by MCC. The data do not
include the pushcart street hawkers and unauthorized hawkers on the streets or on the footpaths
at several locations in the city. There is need to provide provision for informal market areas at
potential identified areas n the city.
Other commercial activity in the LPA is the banking sector. It is observed that there are 98
commercial banks both national and private banks, 14 number of urban cooperative banks and a
number of marketing societies, milk cooperatives and vegetable marketing society like
Hopcoms.
Among the other sectors of employment we may consider the tertiary sector (both organized and
unorganized) which have substantial employment potential. The important areas are
Construction activity in the LPA
The transportation sector (both passenger and freight) (state and others)
Services like health, education, etc including government service employment
Due to lack of adequate data on all these aspects, detailed analysis has not been done as to the
employment generated in these sectors. However, a study of the employees in the various
educational institutions is the LPA, which furnished particulars of employment in their
individual institutions were studied. It is observed that 10,078 employees, both teaching and non-
teaching staffs were on their rolls. This does not include the employment in the various
administrative sections of the department and university, which manage the education sector.
Similar studies on the other aspects stated above may give interesting information.
Future Possibilities
Apart from the various specific industrial and commercial activities in the organsied sector a
trend is seen in the city that is the culture of departmental stores at selected potential commercial
locations. The big Bazaar, Fab mall, food world, more retail, etc all products under one roof
concept is becoming popular. We may observe direct and indirect employment potential in these
sectors.

Existing Land use Analysis
4 Existing Land use Analysis
4.1 Existing Land use 2009
In the local Planning Area, there are two major urban areas viz. Mysore City Corporation Area,
the Nanjangud Town Municipal Area, and a few outgrowths in the KRS area and the industrial
estate developments around Thandavapur, village between Mysore and Nanjangud. Besides,
there are a number of spot developments in the rural belt and around these urban areas. For the
purposes of the existing land use analysis, the entire L.P.A is divided into 45 planning districts. .
In the plan approved by Government, for the plan up to 2011, planning district delineation was
done only for the Mysore city.. Nanjangud was not included. The rest of the local planning area
was considered as rural part and was not assigned any planning district number.
The planning district delination of the core part of the approved plan, inforce, for Mysore City is
retained, where as the outer planning districts of Mysore City viz, 8, 9 10 11, 13 14, 28, 29 & 30
have been revised to accommodate the creation of an ECO PLANNING DISTRICT, viz.,
Chamundi hill area and the environs and new planning districts viz, 31 to 45 to cover the rest of
the rural areas of the Local Planning Area. Nanjangud Town and the environs to be included in a
separate planning district i.e.42, whereas the outgrowths around Thandavapura area and the
industrial area around it, in a separate planning district. Three villages of Jayapura Hobli and
four villages of Elvala hobli were included into the Local Planning Area in 2009. These villages
are included in planning District No.38 (Jayapura Hobli Villages) and Planning District No.41
(Elvala Hobli Villages) .The existing developed area around Mysore city is covered in PD nos.1
to 31 and Nanjangud Town area is covered in Planning District no. 42. The rest of the rural areas
are covered in planning district 32-41, 43 ,44 and 45.while delineating the planning district
boundaries the existing physical boundaries (if any) or village boundaries have been considered.
The land use analysis of planning districts around the two urban areas and rest of the planning
districts are given separately for convenience.However the land-use analysis of each planning
district are also given in the following pages.
The existing land-use of the Mysore City Local Planning Area is given below:

As already stated the developed area of the city can be observed in 1-31 however the analysis of
the existing land use of Mysore is made for the area, which include in addition PD nos. 32-41
and part of PD 43, where large areas have been permitted to be converted for non agricultural
uses. The existing land use map together with the map showing the changes of landuse permitted
can be viewed for analysis. The existing land use for Mysore city and environs as given below

The existing land use pattern of the city show that the residential area (including the vacant land
in the developed area) 7032.89 ha. The dominant other uses being the industrial use and the
public and semi public use. While discussing the various aspects of economic base of the LPA it
was observed that the industrial activity and other tertiary activity were observed to be the
providers of employment among the working population of the city. In particular the various
industries, the educational and health sectors and the trade and transportation sectors were all
responsible for the citys function. Thus, Mysore city has been observed to be a multi functional
town having characters of trade and commerce cum industries cum administration.
4.3 Nanjangud Town
The existing land use for Nanjangud town and environs are assigned a planning district (P.D No.
42). This planning district covers the Nanjangud Urban area and the surrounding rural areas
limiting to existing physical boundaries or village boundaries. The total area of the planning
district is 1779.46 Ha. The total developed area is 876.10 Ha, which is 49.23% of the total area
of the district.

The residential area is 410.44 Ha, which accounts for 46.84 % of the developed area.(This
includes a total area of196.72ha. of vacant land).The new residential extension on the west of B-
N Road and towards Hullahalli road are partially built. Many private layouts are partly
developed except Deviramanahalli area, south of J.S.S College.
Industrial use is another important dominant use in Nanjangud town, which is 219.92 Ha, which
accounts for 25.10 percent of total developed area. Major industrial uses are found in new
industrial estate developed by KIADB located on the north west of the town at an elevated place.

Organosys, Brakes India Pvt Ltd, Sujatha paper mills, Zenith textiles etc. A few other industries
like rice mills, brick industry and stone crushers are also located in Hullhalli Road. The land-use
pattern in Nanjangud appears to be highly inclined towards industrial character in view of the
existence of the industrial estate developed by KIADB. This industrial area is more dependent on
Mysore for its supporting uses, like housing etc rather than Nanjangud town. Hence the character
of Nanjangud town is just any other normal town with functions like the pilgrimage cum sub-
divisional head quarters with agricultural background of its hinterland with few industries
oriented towards the agro based character.
Traffic and transportation use is the next major use which is 141.66 Ha, which accounts for
16.17 percent of the total developed area. The major uses are the railway yard and the goods

Traffic and Transportation
5 Traffic and Transportation
5.1 Introduction
Mysore-Nanjangud Local Planning Area, as already stated is located at a distance of about 140
km from the state capital and is approachable from different directions by both rail and road
transportation network. The Mysore city has also an airport facility, which is yet to be brought
under civil aviation network. The Local Planning Area has both the state road transportation and
private transportation facilities. Mysore city railway station is a junction, which provides scope
for transportation towards Bangalore, Arsekere (Mumbai and Mangalore) and Chamrajnagar
side.
5.2 Existing Road Network
5.2.1 Mysore city
The existing road network can be grouped and conceived as a system of ring roads, in
combination of several important roads of the city, including the various radial roads which

Nanjangud-Chamarajnagar-Satyamangalam Road
Nanjangud-Hullhalli Road
Nanjangud-Suttur-T.Narasipur Road and
The Bangalore-Nilgiri Road (Towards Ooty)
The important roads in Mysore city is conceived by a system of ring roads using the existing
important roads. These are as follows:
1. The inner ring Road, which encompasses the Central Business District, on the west of the
Bangalore-Niligiri Road includes the following important roads.
Bangalore- Nilgiri Road
Chamaraja Double Road
Jhansilakshmibai Road
Railway Station Road
Dewans Road and
Sawday Road
2. The intermediate ring road is conceived by including roads such as B-N Road, Hyderali Road,
Vasantmahal Road, RacecoUrse Road (E), B-N Road(S), JLB Road, Kantharaja Urs Road,
Vishwamanava Double Road, Radhakrishna Avenue , Open Air Theater Road, Hunsur Road,

3. The Outer Ring Road is newly constructed and connects the Mysore -Bannur Road on the east
to the B-N Road in the north, the Hunsur Road, Bogadhi Road and the H.D.Kote Road on the
west and is again linked to the B-N Road on the south. This ring road is proposed to be
connected to Bannur Road on the east by an alignment already fixed on the south-east of
Chamundi Hills via T. Narsipur Road.
The important roads of the Mysore city, including those which link the system of ring roads
conceived above and identified are listed in the table given below:

On a perusal of the existing road network of Mysore City it is observed that some of the
important roads identified are not uniform in their width and some stretches needs widening to
reduce congestion and ease traffic movement. This aspect has already been identified in the
approved plan and the proposed widths are suggested. To achieve this objective, these important
roads are listed and building lines are suggested to regulate the development and ultimately the
proposed width is achieved. It is felt necessary now to review this list of the proposed building
lines, road widths and any road widening proposals that may be necessary.
On a perusal of the existing road network it is observed that the Shivaji Road from Fountain
Circle running towards northeast; ends at the existing burial Ground on a small access road of
9m width. This needs to be connected to the existing road proposed to be widened to 30m road
as per the approved plan on the northeast which links Mahadevapura road and the Outer Ring
Road. Srirampura Road from Vivekananda Circle to H.D.Kote Road which is identified as an
important Road suddenly changes its width and hence needs to be widened to 18m at the
southern tip from Telephone exchange upto H.D.Kote Road.
Some of the schemes developed by the Urban Development Authority have wide roads which
end as a cul-de-sac on the western part and south western part of the city. These wide road
networks have to be linked with a new circulation pattern that has to be worked out to make the
circulation complete.
The existing 24m road in Ramachandra layout near Bogadhi-Gaddige road is not linked to the
major circulation network. This as to be linked to Bogadhi-Gaddige Road on the north and the
existing 24m road in the Treasury House Building cooperative society layout, which is in
continuation of the New Kantharaja Urs Road. Similarly an 18m road ends in a cal-de-sac in the
same layout (Ramachandra Layout).This has to be properly linked to the circulation pattern.
In the approved Master plan while discussing the need, for special regulations under section
12D; to have Architectural control and building line, a few avenues have been identified for
purposes of implementing the special regulations. It is also felt now that there is need for
identifying additional roads and boulevards in view of the emphasis to maintain the cultural
Heritage of the city. It is therefore suggested to introduce a special development regulation in
this plan to take care of this aspect. In this context the following avenues and roads have been
identified for purposes of covering them under this special regulation.

5.3 Intersections, Junctions and Circles in Mysore City and Nanjangud Town
5.3.1 Mysore City
There are 97 circles, junctions in Mysore City, out of which 31 are signalized where as the rest
are non signalized. Out of above 97 Junctions 10 are T. Junctions, three of which are signalized.
It is observed that some intersections have more than four roads and there is scope for
constructing a rotary with large island in the centre and road medians along all the arms of the
various roads which approach the intersection for segregation of traffic at the intersection. The
following such intersections are indentified
Harding Circle in B.N Road
Gandhi Square in CBD
Andolana Circle in Ramakrishnanagar
Vivekananda Circle
Ring Road Junction at B.N Road in the North
Ring Road Junction at Hunsur Road
Ring Road Junction at Bogadhi Road
Ring Road Junction at Bannur Road
Terracian College Circle (T. Narasipura Road Circle)
These intersections are important, as heavy traffic can be anticipated and in view of the fact that
there is scope for designing roundabouts, it is desirable to workout suitable designs for
constructing Rotaries with Medians on all the arms of the intersection to segregate the traffic
movements and minimize accidents and such rotaries will obviate the need for signaling and
policing at these intersections.
There are seven important junctions in Nanjangud Town out of which only one is signalized.
5.4 Parking Areas
The parking areas are an important component in the urban transportation network. The parking
areas become very important in the commercial activity areas and public activity area, where the
traffic movement will be heavy. The location of parking area facility in demarcated areas are at
six places and are identified by the Mysore city traffic police which have a total Two wheeler
capacity of 1435 and LMV vehicle capacity of 540 and Heavy vehicle capacity of 50. Apart from
the above demarcated parking area identified, the off street parking facilities are available in the
following locations where heavy traffic movement or public activity is observed.
Devaraja Market North Gate
Palace Northern Gate
Zoo Garden gate

Regarding on street parking as many as 22 roads have been identified by the Mysore traffic
police where total parking capacity of 6,305 two wheelers, 660 number of LMV vehicle are
available. The actual requirement of parking is a function of the commercial activity that exists
in the respective roads. The list of the names of all roads is given in table.

It is observed that need for additional parking area is keenly felt in CBD area which is already
congested with heavy traffic. In fact, since the kerb parking reduces the carriage way width, the
regulation authorities take action to allow parking on one side only. There is no scope for
increasing the on street parking in CBD area during peak hoUrs. In view of this, there is need for
providing off street parking facility in potential commercial areas or in close proximity in CBD
area. Multi level parking can be resorted to provide the needed parking facilities. The following
locations are suggested for additional parking facilities.

Under the JNNURM programme, the project taken up by the State transport department, in
Mysore city, has proposed to provide parking facilities at various locations, where transport
infrastructure is being upgraded. Eight places have been included under this progamme. The
parking facilities proposed in these locations are given below.

The data reveals that the registration of two wheelers increased by 67.34%, during the period
2001-2008, where as the three wheelers, which include Autos and three wheel luggage carriers
increased by 49.62%. Light motor vehicles (LMV) grew by 93.955% and heavy duty motor
vehicles increased by 215.9%. It is evident that almost all types of vehicles have been growing
steadily. It may be observed that LMV and HMV type of vehicle have been growing at relatively
faster rate.
The two wheelers and three wheelers have also not lagged behind. The growth rates observed
above will have a telling effect on the traffic conditions of the city roads.

transport services running to different inter and intra state communication facilities. Private bus
transport is also available. The transport services operated by transport corporations of Tamil
Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, are operating through Mysore using the available infrastructure.
It is reported that Karnataka State Transport Corporation carries 1.78lakhs passengers per day in
its mofussil services during 2006. Private bus carriers are reported to have carried 14,677
passengers (during 2006). It is reported that other transportation modes such as Maxi cabs (697),
Tempo travels (1615), Jeeps (945), Tangas (174), were the other intermediate transportation
facilities plying in Mysore (as per data available).
5.7.3 Road Transport Services
The data of the vehicle population as obtained from the Regional Transport Office Mysore reveal
that a total number of 7,947 transport vehicles were in Mysore taluka and 490 in Nanjangud
Taluk as on 31.03.2007. The lorry and tempo association at Mysore has reported that there are
2,130 lorries and 905 tempos having membership with them and have been carrying all types of
materials. From the data available it is observed that 330 lorries (180 registered in Mysore
Lorries Association and 150 goods shed lorry association are engaged in carrying all materials
throughout the country. The remaining lorries carry building materials to various destinations
like T. Narsipur, Chikmangalur, Bannur and Hunsur.
There are 905 tempos registered in Tempo association. These operate within the Local planning
area. Further it may be observed that there are as many as 64 numbers of parcel carrying or
miscellaneous good carrying services like TVS, Vijayananda road lines, CPC Lorry service,
Mahalingeshwara transport and others which have state and interstate services.
5.7.4 Air Transport
As already stated the air transport terminal is yet to be brought under the civil aviation network.
Only chartered flights and tourist flight operations during Dasara for sightseeing purposes are
operational, as of now. The salient features of the airport terminal and the future proposals from
the Airport Authority of India are given below.

5.8 Existing Rail Network and Rail Transportation
The Indian railway transportation network with its south western division has a railway junction
at Mysore; which links the Bangalore railway line, Arsikere- Mysore railway line and
Chamarajanagar railway line. There are eight railway stations in the Mysore- Nanjangud LPA.
Mysore city and Nanjangud has goods transportation facilities. At Mysore there is a separate
goods transshipment yard, located between Mysore-Bangalore and Mysore- Arsikere railway
lines. In Nanjangud, the goods yard is attached to the railway station itself. There are two railway
sidings at Mysore exclusively for Reserve Bank of India Mint and the FCI godowns and the
Indian oil depot.
As far the passenger transportation facility is concerned, it is observed that there are 180 trains
every week. This includes 118 passenger trains and 62 express trains. The express train includes
one weekly express each to New Delhi (Hazrat-Nizamuddin) via Arasikere (Swarnajayanthi
express), one to Mumbai (Sharavathi express), two biweekly express trains each to Ajmer and
Jaipur, one weekly express train to Howrah and Shatabdi express six days a week.
Various particulars of passenger trains which serve the Mysore- Nanjangud LPA area from
Mysore city Junction are given below.

A study of the regular passenger commuter traffic can be visualized from the data available in
Mysore city railway booking offices in regard to monthly and quarterly season ticket users. This
is not a complete picture of the movement from Mysore junction, as the data pertain to the
outward passenger to which the season tickets are issued at Mysore railway station. The number
of such seasons tickets purchased from Bangalore and en-route railway stations and similarly
from Arsekere railway station and Chamrajnagar railway stations are not included in this data. It
is observed from the data of last three years (ie 2006-07, 2007- 08 and 2008- 09) that the
quarterly season tickets holders varied between 160-180. Similarly the monthly season ticket
holders varied between 2,008 to 2,647 (this data pertain to the season tickets issued at Mysore
city railway station).
There are two reservation counters in Mysore, one at the city railway station and one at the
Kuvempunagar. As for as the passenger movement in passenger and express trains are
concerned, the average yearly inward passengers were 4.77 lacs and yearly outward passengers
were 4.70 lacs population (during the period 2006-07 to 2008- 09).
It may be observed that the transportation by rail is becoming more popular, as the movement is
relatively fast, safe and cheaper. The general observation that could be made is that the gauge
conversion and increase of the speed, capacity of trains and the increase of frequency has
increased in the recent past. Further, if the ongoing doubling of the rail tracks between Bangalore
and Mysore is completed, there is no doubt about the increase in interaction between Bangalore
and Mysore further.
The data in respect of the freight movement is not discussed here for want of adequate
information. However, with the increase of population of Mysore and the demand for the
essential commodities in Mysore-Nanjangud LPA and the corresponding growth in the hinter
land, the essential commodities like food, fuel, cement, steel etc increases. These commodities
usually are moved by rail transport.
In view of this aspect, it is very necessary to demark additional land for rail goods transport yard
adjacent to the existing goods yard at Mysore for future development.

6.1 Existing Scenario for Housing
Being recognized as an emerging IT hub in Karnataka, Mysore like any developing market is
witnessing sustained real estate demand in all segments. The proposed Bangalore Mysore
Infrastructure Corridor along with the coming of IT giants in Mysore, have transformed the
Residential Market Scenario of the city.
City of Mysore spread over 20 kms. Radius, its a well spread city .The heritage nature of the
city brings about a natural liking to design structures with an architectural flavour. While the
growth of apartments is a recent phenomenon, there is a restriction on very high rise buildings as
it endangers the heritage value of the city. The most important residential localities of the city are
listed below:
1) Siddhartha Nagar: Siddhartha Nagar is situated on the foothills of famous Chamundi Hills
and adjacent to Historical Lalitha Mahal Palace, beautiful Karanji Lake, and Race CoUrse.
The most popular adjoining localities are Alanahalli Extension, JSS Lay out, Teachers Lay
out, Nandini Lay out, Netaji Nagar Phase-I and Phase II, KSRTC Lay out and many more.
Siddhartha Nagar is located in Mysore East.
2) Gokulum, Jayalakshmi Puram, and Ontikopal: These are situated adjacent to one another
on KRS Road. It is just 3 K.M. away from Mysore City centre and two kms from Mysore
Railway Station. Gokulum is situated in Mysore Central and North.
3) Saraswathi Purum: Saraswathi Puram is just 2 K.M. from Mysore City centre and it is
adjacent to Kukkarahalli Lake, Mysore University Campus. Saraswathi Purum is located in
Mysore Central and West.
4) Kuvempu Nagar: It is the biggest and most popular place in Mysore. Kuvempu Nagar has
several blocks and is spread out at around 5 km area. The centre point is 8 K.M. from the
Mysore Central. The most popular adjoining localities are Ramakrishna Nagar, Aravind
Nagar, SBM Colony, LIC Colony, and TK Lay out, Sharadadevi Nagar, CFTRI layout,
Gangotri Lay out, Bogadi and many more. Kuvempu Nagar is situated in Mysore West and
South.
5) Vijayanagar: Vijayanagar Phase I, II, III, IV gained popularity after Mysore became IT hub
and after Infosys started their world famous Centre in 250 Acres of land. Vijayanagar is 8 kms
from the Mysore Central. The most popular adjoining localities are Hebbal, Railways Colony,
Hootagalli, Elaval and many more. Vijayanagar is situated in Mysore West.
6.2 Growth of Real Estate
Mysore, the City of Palaces has been the cultural capital of Karnataka. Mysore due to close
proximity to Indias Silicon Valley Bangalore and blessed with exotic natural beauty, is gaining
recognition as to be the next attractive destination for IT & ITES Sector in the State. This city's
emergence as one of the fastest growing real estate destinations in India has provided investors
with an opportunity to make good profits.
Over the last three years, property prices and rentals in Mysore have witnessed an unprecedented
boom. With the advent of large investment projects in and around the city, other players have
also shown keen interest in properties in Mysore.
The landscape of Mysore City is fast changing, also because of builders and developers stepping
up their activity. There are many major groups like Brigade, Sankalp, Mittal, etc. who have
already completed many projects. Many more are in the pipeline. The price boom is not limited
to the city but it is extending to the suburbs such as Vijayanagar, Yadavgiri, Saraswathipuram,
Vivekananda Nagar and Siddhartha Layouts.
Migration of IT companies to Mysore due to its proximity to Bangalore (150 km) is driving
residential and retail real estate developments and pushing up prices in some parts of the city.
Mysore is to get heritage funding under the 'Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission'
and in addition to this, a number of other infrastructure projects like the completion of the
Bangalore-Mysore expressway, up gradation of the existing airport and doubling of the
Bangalore-Mysore railway track, are expected to boost the city's growth. Once the commuting
time between Bangalore and Mysore is reduced, the scope for office market development will
increase in the city in the view of increasing number of corporates planning to expand their
operations in Mysore. Due to the availability of land at relatively competitive rates, a number of
Bangalore-based developers have entered the real estate market in Mysore, but it is local players
who are already working on strategies to promote Mysore as a second home to individuals and
corporates in Bangalore. Mysore is emerging an important educational, commercial and
administrative centre with a high literacy rate of 84.5 percent, greater than the state average.
The city currently boasts of major IT and non-IT campuses like Infosys, L&T Infotech, Wipro
and Software Paradigm India. In addition to this, Mysore houses many non-IT companies like
Reid & Taylor, L&T Electronics, S. Kumars, Kirloskar Gensets, Bharat Earth Movers, Venlon
Polyster, Automotive Axles and South Indian Paper Mills.
During the last few years, Mysore has been witnessing unprecedented growth in real estate, with
a large number of housing co-operative societies having secured land for development of
residential colonies. This has set the base for the city to propel on its own.
Property prices in Mysore have doubled during the year 2005-2009 as compared to price range
2000-2004. IT professionals from Bangalore are looking at parking their money in property here
with a second or even third site. Nearly 7,000-8,000 sites are up for grabs in Mysore today. The
scenario in the apartment market too is buoyant. Nearly Rs 600-700 crores is being pumped into
these private housing projects in the city by property developers.
Of the enquiries real estate consultants receive, nearly 30 percent are from IT professionals, and
that too from techies based in Bangalore. Most of these IT professionals are looking at making a
second or third investment here, and 15 percent of these techies are actually investing in the city.
The real estate market is the city is on an upswing. Property dealers say prices are surging and
they will continue to do so in the near future.
In the light of strong and proactive initiatives from the State Government, including providing
quality infrastructure and a rapidly responsive administrative system, Mysore has emerged as a
front-runner in attracting investments. Vijayanagar Stage IV, Dattagalli, Srinagar, and
Rajivnagar, with substantial off take, have registered increases in prices. While a majority of the
investors are keen on investments in developed land, others prefer built units. 60 percent of the
people are looking for residential properties. 70 percent are short-term investors, while 30
percent are long-term investors. Investors today are very knowledgeable. They are looking at
buying sites in areas where development is happening.
Most of the IT professionals who are buying property here, are working in Bangalore, and have
invested here, in anticipation of the city being tipped to take a good share from the IT capital in a
matter of few years. The Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project which will reduce
travel time to an hour and a few minutes has also been a factor that has worked on the minds of
investors. The introduction of AC buses to commute between the two cities has given the city a
major thrust.
The Ring Road is today a hotspot for potential investment. The Outer Ring Road that runs along
the city's periphery, where land is available, is a good place to invest in. With the city rapidly
growing, and the city's old localities already bUrsting at their seams, its time to look beyond.
With the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project, IT belt, Textile Park, and airport
located in the vicinity of the Outer Ring Road, the potential of development along this stretch is
immense. It is for this reason that sites are being picked up in Vijayanagar Stage IV, Dattagalli,
Srinagar, and Rajivnagar. Currently, there are three types of layouts available in the city. Layouts
developed by Mysore Urban Development Authority and Karnataka Housing Board are well-
developed layouts that will be available after around 15 years from the time of application. Then
there are the layouts formed by Societies.
6.3 Supply Demand Analysis for Mysore
Mysore has always been considered as Pensioners Paradise due to its laid back life. It provides a
restful environment to all residing population. But the scenario is rapidly changing with
increased number of industries and in migration. This is changing the housing scenario within
Mysore and its surroundings. To keep up with the supply of the housing needs it will be essential
to have the required housing availability for the future. For the calculation of the housing needs
within Mysore and Nanjangud the data from various sources such as MCC, MUDA, KSCB,
KHB, NTMC have been taken.
As of 2009, as per the Mysore City Corporation the total properties are about 1.88 lacs. For the
purpose of the LPA which is beyond the MCC limits we need to consider the existing
conurbation area. This includes areas developed outside the existing MCC limits. Hence for the
purpose of the analysis, the housing requirements will be calculated for the urbanized area as of
December 2009. Hence, adding these areas to the MCC area an approximate number of dwelling
units to be considered will be two lacs for the existing Mysore conurbation.
6.4 Supply Demand Analysis for existing Mysore Conurbation
The following factors are taken into consideration while arriving at the supply demand analysis
for the housing in Mysore.
The number of households for 2009, 2011, 2021 & 2031 has been estimated / projected by
assuming the average size of the household as 4.75.
The number of houses as available from the corporation sources in 2009 was 188,000.
From this total housing stock of 188,000, 2.5 percent of the total housing stocks have been
deducted due to structural conditions which are not fit for living.
After deducting this, it is assumed that 10 percent of the total houses have more than one
dwelling unit. Therefore, the total number of dwelling units as on 2009 has been arrived.
To calculate the housing shortage for 2011, the existing housing stock (dwelling units) the
annual addition to the housing stock has been assumed by taking into consideration the number
of licenses issued by City Corporation, MUDA and the number of dwelling units built by central
and state government departments (examples: Railways, Housing Board, PWD, CFTRI, DFRL,
Education Institution, etc)
The following table shows the Supply and Demand for existing Mysore conurbation area:

6.5 Supply Demand Analysis for Nanjangud Town
The number of households for 2011, 2021 and 2031 have been estimated/ projected by assuming
the average size of the household as 5.
The number of houses as available by projection for 2009 was 12,733.
From this total housing stock of 12,733, 2.5 percent of the total housing stocks have been
deducted due to structural conditions which are not fit for living.By considering the annual
addition to the housig stock, based on the number of licences issued by the local body, the
requirement of dwelling units are worked out.The following table shows the Supply and demand
for Nanjangud TMC
Table 6-2: Demand Analysis for Housing in Nanjangud

2 2021
95,000
19,000 1,620
3 2031 110000 22000 1870
From the above analysis of the housing shortage it can be noted that the existing (2009) housing
shortage is about 20,000 dwelling units in the case of Mysore. This shortage is likely to increase
to about 40000 by the year 2031.It may be observed from the existing land use that adequate
developed land is available for residential development.
But the scenario for Nanjangud is very different from the shortage of housing in Mysore. The
existing (2009) population for Nanjangud is approximately 63,000 and the shortage of housing is
only1138dwelling units. . This is likely to increase to about 1870 by the year 2031.
With real estate business in Bangalore reaching the point of saturation and becoming
unaffordable for common man, buyers are targeting the second largest city in the state, Mysore.
This has increased the demand for residential property in Mysore. The common practice in
Mysore is to buy land and keep it vacant for future development and this practice is still
continuing. The landscape of Mysore City is fast changing due to speculation and increased
activity by builders and developers. There are many major groups like Brigade, Sankalp, Mittal,
etc. who have already completed many projects. Many more are in the pipeline. The cost for per
square foot for an apartment was about 1500 in August 2005; now it is Rs. 2300. Similarly, a 50
x 80 site available for about 8 lakh three years back is now costing Rs. 45 lakh to Rs. 60 lakhs.
Demand of residential is high in newly developed residential areas like Vijaynagar, Kovampu
Nagar, Laxmipuram, Jaylaxmipuram and Saraswathipuram. Central Mysore is more or less
saturated.
Residential land market is most active in Mysore. The general aspiration of people in Mysore is
to own their own land and construct house on it. This has caused increase in land prices all
across the micro markets. Plotted ventures are mostly coming up in and around the outer ring
road. At present these areas are target of lower and middle class population segment. The
apartment culture which was trickling down slowly has suddenly gained momentum and a
number of new entrants to the city are looking at developing residential properties. The influx of
IT/ITeS professionals is predominantly cited as instrumental in driving the demand for
residential property in Mysore. Land rates are comparatively low when compared to Bangalore
which is one reason for the movement of ITeS companies to the secondary cities like Mysore.
As Mysore City that has developed over the past 150 years, Mysore comprises a diversity of
housing styles and stock, and residential environments. Consideration of housing issues must
incorporate urban growth, urban consolidation, neighborhood character and opportunities to
facilitate new development within the existing urban fabric.
There is also a greater need to focus on housing for the lower and middle income group of
families. Most of the private layouts and the MUDA layouts have large plot sizes which are
impossible for the middle income and lower income groups to have a house.
In Mysore city increase in household size and broad changes in family structures over the past
decades have placed differing demands on housing and its provision. Consumer preferences have
also changed with many people now seeking to move into residential apartments. This will
provide opportunities for residential apartments to form part of mixed use development. Some of
these areas / housing layouts where the apartment buildings are coming up are Yadavagiri,
Siddhartha nagar, Jayalaxmipuram, Gokulam and parts of Kuvempunagar. This is also a positive
sign as for re densification of the existing low density areas within the city.
6.6 Slum Details of Mysore City

Urban Infrastructure
7 Urban Infrastructure
Introduction
The urban infrastructure of the LPA is discussed in the following chapters. Urban infrastructure
include
1. The economic infrastructure like water supply, underground drainage, storm water drain, solid
waste management and power. These aspects are discussed in the following pages.
2. Social infrastructure like health service and educational service
7.1 Water Supply
Mysore City mainly receives the treated water from the Cauvery river source with intake and
treatment units located at various locations downstream of Krishnarajasagar Reservoir. The city
of Mysore got its first treated piped water during the year 1896 from the Belagola water works.
As the city grew new water supply schemes were added at frequent intervals. After Belagola
phase I commissioned, keeping the same source second and third phase schemes were
commissioned in the year 1924 and 1998. Further augmentation of the water supply system has
been taken up under ADB assistance with intake works at Melapura on the right bank of Cauvery
River downstream of Srirangapatnam.
Nanjangud town receives mainly water from Kabini River. The present water supply to
Nanjangud town is from a old intake well on the right bank of Kabini river in the town itself and
from a new intake works at Debur village on the right bank of the Kabini river.
The water supply to various villages in the Local planning area is through a system of bore wells
and service reservoirs located in the villages itself. The villages such as Belagola, Balamuri,
Hongally and Majjigepura in Srirangapattana taluk, which are located close to the intake works
located at Hongally and Belagola are supplied with treated water from the intake itself.

The population studies discussed in chapter 2 reveals that the designed population by 2031 is
23,77,000 for the local planning area, out of which Mysore citys population is 21,00,000 and
Nanjangud town is 1,10,000.For purposes of working out the adequacy of the water supply, a
per capita supply of 135 LPCD and 15% treatment plant and transmission losses is considered,
as per national norms. As on date, the probable population of Mysore city is 10 Lacs and at the
above rate the capacity required is 171 MLD.
To meet the requirement of prospective population by the year 2031, the total capacity required
for the Mysore city urban area works out to 283.5MLD.Simillarly, the Nanjangud town needs a
total capacity of 14.85MLD by the year 2031.The existing system of water supply, as already
discussed above has a capacity of 251MLD in Mysore urban area and a capacity of 14.96MLD in
Nanjangud urban area. The present supply level in the Mysore city works out to be around
190LPCD. Similarly for Nanjangud TMC the supply level is 188LPCD. The present water
supply system has been designed by the concerned department to meet a much larger population
and is found to be adequate for the present. The particulars of the existing and required water
supply are given below.

Proposed water supply Schemes under different Projects:
It may be stated here the authorities have proposed following proposals of treated water supply
schemes.
1. The Zilla panchayath Mysore is implementing the treated water supply scheme to cater the
villages around Elawala. The particulars are as follows.
Location : Intake on the right bank of the Cauvery River in Balamuri village.
Treatment plant at Elawala village.
Villages Covered: Elawala, Kurgalli, Belawadi and Huilalu
Per capita supply: 55LPCD
2. Under the JnNURM, the project proposal to draw the water to Mysore city from Kapila River
near Bidargodu village of Nanjangud taluk with an ultimate capacity of 185MLD by 2039 in 3
phases has been approved by central government. Tender process have already been started.
Under this project it is proposed to supply 57MLD for present, 64 MLD for Intermediate and
64MLD for ultimate year i.e. 2039.The Ist phase is expected to be commissioned by the end of
2015. II phase by 2024 and III phase by 2039.
3. Similarly, there is a proposal for drawing the 50MLD of water from the Melapura water
supply scheme in addition to the existing 100MLD( ie the capacity of 150MLD for which it was
designed). The DPR is submitted and early approvals are expected.
Under the circumstances explained above the gross quantum of water required and available at
different horizon years of master plan is calculated and are tabulated below.

Similarly in Remodeling of distribution system package, it is proposed to replace or discarded
some of the existing distribution pipes. The existing pipes which are very old and in dilapidated
condition particularly pipes of material CI, GI, AC etc. The total length of distribution mains
proposed is about 1072 Km with diameters varying from 110 mm HDPE to 559 mm OD MS.
The storage capacity of the existing service reservoirs within the MCC limits is found to be
35.60ML,to meet the CPHEEO standards 31 nos of new elevated service reservoirs have been
proposed inside MCC limits with a total capacity of 40.00ML.
With the aim of Supply drinking water to all consumers in all wards and extensions of Mysore
Municipal Corporation limits 24 hoUrs a day and 7 days a week, Mysore city Corporation has
entrusted the work of 24X7 water supply scheme to JUSCO. The particulars and objectives of
the schemes are as follows.
1. Conversion of all water connection to 24x7 continuous water supply.
2. Improvement in collections of water charges.
3. To reduce the difference between the quantity of bulk water supplied and the quantities for
which revenue is collected (to reduce Non-Revenue water)
4. To respond to the complaint within 24 hoUrs in the 24/7 continuous water supply zone.
5. To reduce the leakages in the 24/7 continuous water supply zone to 20%.
6. To maintain the qualities of water to 100% in the 24/7 continuous water supply zone.
7. To maintain the minimum residual pressure of 7mtr at the consumer point in the 24x7
continuous water supply zone.
Under the circumstances explained above and from the analysis it is found that the total quantum
of water available at different horizon years is well above the demand and the per capita water
supply is above the CPHEEO standards.
It may be suggested here to adopt the same scheme of 27/7 to the entire conurbation area of both
Mysore city and Nanjangud town.
7.2 Sewerage System
7.2.1 Mysore City
The Mysore City was one of the earliest cities to have Underground drainage System in India.
The first efforts for providing UGD were made during 1904 and core areas of city were provided
with UGD. In 1955 comprehensive scheme for providing UGD was under taken and the areas
like Ashokapuram, Mandimohalla, Narasimharaja Extension, Gandhinagar, Vanivilasa puram
and Paduvara halli were covered. There were two Sewage Treatment plants located one at
sewage farm in Vidyaranya puram and one more in the Kesare sewage farm to facilitate the
treatment of sewage.
During the year 2000-01-2002 under the ADB assisted KUID project the entire Mysore city
corporation limit was divided into four drainage districts namely A, B, C and D and three sewage
treatment plants at Rayanakere for drainage district A & D, Vidyaranya puram sewage farm for
the drainage district B and Kesare along the outer ring road were constructed.
7.2.2 Salient features of the Existing sewerage System in Mysore City
The Existing Sewerage system covers the 75% of the total Mysore city corporation area and
some of areas under MUDA; the sewer net work caters to an area of approximately of 84 Sq kms
and covers approximately 70% of the total population. Presently the entire MCC and out growth
area is divided in to 5 drainage districts A,B,C, and D there are 3 nos of Treatment plants.
7.2.2.1 Drainage District A & D
Location of treatment plant : Near Rayanakere on Manandwadi road

Total area covered : 24.56Sqkm
Total capacity : 30MLD
Under the urban renewal project Mysore City Corporation has proposed to take up the new
sewage treatment plant for the drainage district E. The drainage district E covers the areas
coming under MCC wards nos 55 and 56, part of the MUDA layouts like Alanahalli, Sathagalli,
Yaraganahalli and the areas all along the TN pura road and Bannur road. Approximate area
covering under this drainage district is 6.06 sq km and is proposed to be located at the point 4 km
ahead of the outer ring road junction on Bannur road. Similarly the drainage district G covers the
MCC wards 26 and Hebbal surroundings. For this drainage district treatment plant is proposed
along the Mysore-Arsikere railway line near Infosys training center.
7.2.2.4 New Schemes Proposed Under JnNURM
Under the Urban renewal mission programs three more drainage districts are proposed to be
added for the Mysore city and its out growth and the particulars are as follows.
7.2.2.5 Drainage District E
The fifth district E covers the areas coming under MCC wards nos 55 and 56, part of the
MUDA layouts like Alanahalli, Sathagalli,Yaraganahalli and the areas all along the TN pura
road and Bannur road is also forms the part of this district. The approximate area of this
drainage district is 6.06 sq km and the population proposed to serve by 2011 is around 44000.
There is no existing STP for Zone E, The required capacity of the proposed STP is estimated to
be 10 MLD for the 2021. Sewage treatment plant is proposed to be constructed to cater the
sewage generated in this district and the suitable land is also identified at 4km away from the
Outer ring road junction in Mysore Bannur road.
7.2.2.6 Drainage District F
This drainage district comprises of MCC wards 25 part, 27, 28, 29 and 45 part. The treatment
facility for the sewage generated in this district is proposed to be in the existing Kesare STP with
required modernization to accommodate the additional load. The estimated sewage generation
from this drainage district is 2.35MLD for the year 2011 to cater the population of around 19000.
7.2.2.7 Drainage District G
The drainage district G covers the MCC wards 26 and Hebbal surroundings catering population
of around 37000 for year 2011. The estimated sewage generation by the year 2011 is 4.63MLD
and Sewage treatment plant under this drainage district is proposed along the Mysore-Arsikere
railway line near Infosys training center.
The details of the existing and proposed schemes are tabulated below:

Nanjangud Town does not have UGD system. Some of the house owners have their own
individual latrines with septic tank. Nanjangud TMC has taken up the underground sewerage
scheme for the town and its out growth.
Under the new scheme, town and its Out growth is divided into two Zones based on the
catchment as Zone- A and Zone- B. The Zone A is designed for the ultimate projected
population of 78754 by 2016. The sewage from this zone is collected in the existing 8mts dia wet
well situated on Chamarajanagar road. The treatment plant for the Zone A is proposed to be
located at 3km from this point on the Chamarajanagar road. Similarly the Zone B covers the area
around the Deveerammanahalli and its layout, to cater the treatment of the sewage from this zone
the treatment plant is proposed on the Gundlupet road.
7.2.3.1 Zone- A
Location of the treatment plant: 3 km from the town adjacent to Chamarajanagar road
Areas covered : Old Town
Total population covered : 78754
7.2.3.2 Zone-B
Location of the treatment plant: Adjacent to Gundlupet road
Areas covered : Deveerammanahalli and its surrounding s
Total population covered : 5836
The total length of the sewer lines proposed for both the zones A and B is 62 km.
The above discussion reveals that the present sewerage system in Mysore city is adequate to
cater the present population requirement. The future requirement of sewerage treatment works
capacity is worked out based on the water supply norms adopted for the design of treated water
suppy system of the city & also taking into consideration about 10% of the norms for untreated
sources like borewells etc. and allowing for infilteration, a total capacity of 262 MLD of
sewerage will be generated by the year 2031.
The existing capacity of the sewage treatment plant in the city is 200MLD in the drainage
districts already created. The JnNURM projects on hand, together with the additional capacity
required has to meet the future requirement, ie. for the year 2031. It is suggested that additional
capacity has to be created .The capacity of the Rayanakere (A & D drainage districts) STP and
anew STP for district E can meet the requirement. It is nessary to achieve an ultimate target of
269MLD by the year 2031Necessary lands for the new STP is suggested in the land use plans,
for increasing the capacity and also the new STP
Similarly Nanajangud town needs a total capacity of 7.03Mld by the year 2031
7.2.4 Rural Areas of LPA
At present, the villages in the LPA are not covered under any of the UGD system. The rural
sanitation scheme has been adopted in many of these villages. It may be observed that some of
the villages, which are in the immediate surroundings of the Mysore city, are likely to be
enveloped and are the probable urban villages (as discussed in demography chapter 2). Such
villages, which are outside the conurbation, the decentralized system is suitable and the same
would be adopted under any of the state schems.

7.3 Storm Water Drains
7.3.1 Mysore City
The Topography of the Mysore is characterized by series of well defined natural Valleys which
radiates from the ridge on high ground profile and fall gradually in all the direction. It is
observed that the general slope is from North to South. The general ground elevation of the city
varies from North West to North East portion with level difference of 40mt. Similarly, North to
South with difference in elevation of 25mt. The storm water form Mysore city and its out growth
follow well defined twelve important valleys. Valleys from North and Northeastern part of the
Mysore city like Kesare, Yadavgiri, Kumbarakoppalu, Hebbal, R S Naidu nagar Kalyanagiri etc
are discharging in to the Cauvery River after passing through the series of tanks or nalas.
Similarly the rest of the south, south eastern and south western part valleys are discharging in to
the Kabini River.
In the Mysore city corporation limits most of existing Roads have been provided with primary
drains and are connected to the secondary drains. The particulars of the primary drains and
important valleys are given below.

Figure 7-15: The Lined and unlined Drain in Alanahalli Layout

In Nanjangud Town limits, around 60% of the existing roads are provide with side drains. These
drains are connected to the secondary drains or major storm water drains. Ultimately these drains
are drained to the Hullahalli canal or Kabini River.
From studies it is understood that, the poor annual maintenance like de-silting and de-weeding of
the drains leads to artificial flooding and stagnation of water.
Unauthorized occupancy adjacent to the valleys, cause hindrance in regular maintenance of
drains such as de-silting, de-weeding, etc., results in artificial flooding even for little intensity of
rainfall.
As the sewer lines follows the storm water drain, puncturing the adjacent sewer line and letting
the waste water in to drain whenever the sewer line chokes up putting the drains under ugly and
hazardous condition. These practices of letting the sewage in to the drains are causing pollution
of important tanks inside and periphery of the Mysore city beyond the limits. As the maximum
quantity of sewage is flowing through the drains and valleys the sewage treatment plants are not
working for their ultimate capacity.
During the previous developments of sewerage system, sewer lines are laid inside the storm
water drains with anchor blocks. Theses anchor block and sewer lines have reduced the carrying
capacity of the drain and causing artificial flooding.
In the light of above it is desired that all the roads needs to be provided with the side drains of
required cross section and valleys to be preserved.
Similarly, the Nanjangud town, which is fairly on the plain terrain, needs proper drainage
network.
Most of the drains in the town are found to be carrying the sewage and sullage and this has posed
severe health hazard in public. As the implementation of the sewerage system in the town is
nearly completion the local authority should take the steps to make arrangements to divert all the
sewage in to the sewer lines and keep the storm water drains for carrying the rain water only. In
addition, the efforts should be taken to cover all the roads with side drains and lead off to the
major valleys.
7.4 Solid Waste Management
7.4.1 Mysore City
In Mysore city, prior to 2001, the municipal solid waste generated was dumped near the sewage
farm without any type of treatment. As a part of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSW)
Program taken up under ADB assisted KUID Project. MSW treatment facility with a capacity of
200 TPD is established inside the sewage farm. In addition to the above-centralized processing
unit, there is a unit at Kumbarakoppalu having the capacity of handling the 2 MT of waste.
7.4.1.1 Salient features of the Solid Waste Management in Mysore
The solid waste management activity in Mysore consists mostly of Door to Door collection and
partly of throwing the waste to nearby MS Containers. The pourakarmikas and other privatized
agencies sweep the streets, drains and collect the waste from households transfer the waste in to
small wheeled syntax bins and same is transferred in to the higher capacity MS containers. The
waste is lifted from the bins, containers and other waste collection points using a combination of
trucks, tractors and Hydraulic Dumper placers.
Figure 7-16: Primary Collection (left), Secondary Collection (right)

The MSW collected from the city is transported to the Compost plant situated in Sewage farm
near Vidyaranyapuram. The Compost Plant is working with an ultimate capacity of 200MT
daily. Mysore City does not have the land fill site; the non degradable remaining of the waste
after it is composted is dumped in nearby open land. In view of above Mysore City Corporation
has identified 110acre of land in Bettadabeedu village of Heggadadevanakote taluk for the
scientific land fill site. District commissioner has been requested for allotment of this land.
Figure 7-17: Composting of the waste in compost plant In Sewage farm Vidyaranyapuram

In Nanjangud town the municipal solid waste generators throw the waste to the community RCC
bins placed at various locations of the town. Street sweepings done by Pourakarmikas are
dumped in to the community bins. The waste from community bins and street sweepings are
transported through tractors to land fill site. At no point segregation of waste is carried out. The
details of existing vehicles for handling the Municipal solid waste are given in the table below.
The Nanjangud town does not have the Engineering sanitary land fill site for the disposal of
waste. Under the MSW management act TMC Nanjangud has proposed establish the new
Engineering /sanitary Land fill site at Mahadevanapura. The proposed land fill site is located at
distance of 5.5 km from the Town area is around 7.2 acres. In the proposed land fill site
Provisions are made for composting of wet waste, recovery of recyclable waste and disposal of
inert in land fill.
The population studies discussed in chapter 2 reveals that the designed population by 2031 is
23.77 lakhs for the local planning area, out of which Mysore citys population is 2100000 and
Nanjangud town is 110,000. For purposes of working out the adequacy of the Composting plant
and Engineering sanitary land fi1l site a per capita municipal solid waste generation is
considered as 300gm/capita/day. As on date, the probable population of Mysore city is 11 lacs
and at the total solid waste generation in the Mysore City is 300 MT. Similarly for the
Nanjangud town for the probable current population of 67,500 the solid waste generation is
around 20 MT.
To meet the requirement of prospective population by the year 2031 the total capacity of
treatment units required for the Mysore city urban area works out to 630 MT. Similarly, the
Nanjangud town needs a total capacity of 33 MT by the year 2031.The existing system of solid
waste management as already discussed above has a capacity of 202 MT in Mysore urban area
and no treatment unit in Nanjangud urban area. The particulars of the existing and required
capacity of the Solid waste management units are given below.

As per the CPHEEO manuals standards and field data for the medium income cities, the
putrescible organic matter (Food waste) amounts 20-60% of total weight of the waste. 15-45%,
of the waste is recyclable waste like paper, plastic and rubber. Hence around 80% of the total
waste produced can be used as a raw material for the production of a useful by product like
organic manure, paper, plastics etc., and rest needs to be disposed scientifically in the sanitary
land fill site.
From the above it reveals that segregation of Solid waste at the source needs to be done.
Composting and recovery of recyclable materials shall be expedited to reduce the load on the
dumping yard. Similarly the steps need to be taken for early completion of proposed landfill
sites.
7.5 Power Supply and Telecommunication
7.5.1 Power Supply - Existing Scenario
The Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) is responsible for power
transmission in the state. While Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CHESCOM)
is the nodal agency for the power distribution within Mysore and Nanjangud. In Mysore Power
Grid Corporation supplies power through its 400 KV substation located at Maidanahalli and
Bastipura.
Power is a basic infrastructure influencing the growth of industrial, agricultural and service
sectors and ultimately the economic development. One of the determinants for quality of life is
the level of availability and acceptability of affordable and continuous power supply. It is one of
the sectors, to which Government is giving priority in fixing the plan outlays at National as well
as State levels.
7.5.2 Existing Scenario
Mysore is one of the earliest cities in the state to have the supply of electricity. CHESCOM
supplies the power supply to Mysore which has five types of connections i.e., residential,
commercial, small-scale industries, large scale industries and temporary services. The total
number of connections within Mysore is over 3.5 lacs and 4.5 lacs units of power supplied for
the year 2008. Power supply covers most part of the Mysore city. During summer season,
interruption of power supply is very high because, generation of electricity for Mysore and
Nanjangud is through hydropower station, which is exclusively dependent on southwest
monsoon and tapping the power supply from other states. If the monsoon fails or is less for a
particular year, it causes a major electricity problem within the city. The tables below show the
breakup of the number of connections and the power consumption for various sectors within
Mysore for 2008.

Source: CHESCOM
The table shows that that the maximum number of connections within Mysore and Nanjangud
are for residential use. It is also indicating that the maximum power consumption is being
utilized by the large-scale industries both in Mysore and Nanjangud. This is because there are
majorly engineering based industries within Nanjangud that require high power consumption.
While in Mysore there, are IT and ITes related industries that are growing and they are power
intensive industries. The power demand for the industries is about 2.5 that of the residential
areas.
Power supply is through several sub stations within Mysore and Nanjangud. Mentioned below is
the list of sub stations for the supply of power.

The two main receiving stations for power supply for Mysore and Nanjangud is Hootgalli and
Kadakola. The Hootgalli station receives 163 MW supply and the Kadakola station receives 111
MW of power supply. These are the two main receiving stations for distribution of power to
Mysore and Nanjangud. Other sources of power supply are from the Power grid corporation
which has a 400 KV line supply, the 220 KV KPTCL supply line, Karnataka Power Corporation
supply from the Shivasamudra hydro power station. There are other captive power generating
stations by private sources. They use the power for their industries and supply to the main grid.
They list of private sources supplying power to Mysore and Nanjangud is mentioned below.

Mysore receives its power mainly from the hydropower generation. Hence, it is dependent on the
rainfall and water availability. Hence, there is a necessity of either another parallel source of
power generation or tapping it from other sources. This is essential for the economic
development and the growth of Mysore. Due to the IT and ITeS based industries there is a
necessity of a continuous supply of power. This is related to the investments and the quality of
life of people staying within the city.
There are also many unauthorized developments observed within the right of way of the high-
tension lines passing through the city. It has been observed at Ragavendra Nagar, Yaraganahalli,
Gandhi Nagar, J.P. Nagar, Belavadi and Hootgali.
7.6 Communication
Most part of the Local Planning area has well developed communication system. Post, telegraph
and telephone service is available.

8.3 Mysore Heritage
By definition (KT&CP Act 1961), heritage buildings means a building possessing architectural,
aesthetic, historic or cultural values which is declared as heritage building by planning authority
within whose jurisdiction such building is situated. The term heritage literally means, that which
is inherited, inherited by the people of a State or nation. So, a building which has its own history
reflecting may be the culture of the people when it came into existence. Naturally such structures
have to be preserved for the benefit of the future.
They are dynamic and evolving, they reflect the socio cultural history of the community and
provide a sense of belonging and they also often have scenic qualities. This wealth of heritage
buildings is central to each communitys character. There are innumerable heritage buildings
spread across Mysore city. Mysore city, one of the prime heritage cities, in the country combines
historical facts and anecdotes with a harmonious combination of both natural and built heritage.
In spite of the causalities of the modern-day approach to urban planning and civic architecture
owing to lack of building space the city continues to retain its special characteristics as a native
princely city. These buildings and palaces are well maintained and are used for different
purposes like housing government offices, hotels, law courts, research institutes etc., The
architecture of these buildings reflect the styles of Indo-Sarcenic , Greco-Roman, Traditional
Hindu, Gothic and European Classical Styles. They add to the beauty of the city and are the
reminders of the bygone era.
There are a few churches in Mysore built by the Europeans and St. Philomenas Cathedral, built
in gothic style is the most notable among all. Mysore also houses a few mosques. The Kutchi
Momein mosque built by the traders from Kutch (Gujarat) is a highly attractive structure.
Thanks to a local population who are vehemently passionate about their culture, much of
Mysores architecture remains intact, making it perfect for city walks, toUrs and to wander
around marveling the architectural splendors of the city. Mysore can boast of over 200 historical
structures. Most of the heritage buildings are repainted before Dasara every year. The palaces,
which were built for the kings and their families, were not for the pleasure but they are glowing
with artistic beauty, hence they attract people from all parts of the world. Mysore being a
heritage city and to preserve the heritage for times to come the Archaeological Survey of India
have marked some of the buildings and preserved under the ASI monument protection Act. The
list of protected monument is given below.

Note: The list of heritage buildings mentioned above has-been identified byThe Mysore
Heritage Area Development and Preservation Expert Committee, constituted by
government.This committee has recomended that these heritage buildings be preserved by
the MUDA under the KTCP Act 1961.
The list of heritage buildings mentioned above consists of various buildings such as palaces,
institutions, residential, commercial, public buildings (hospitals, schools, colleges, university
buildings), places of religious importance (temples, mosques, church), hotels, educational
institutions, government offices, etc.
Of the above-mentioned list, detailed description of the buildings of importance is mentioned
herewith.
8.4 Places of Heritage importance
1. Amba Vilas Palace (Mysore Palace)
The city of palaces is proud home to many of historical palaces known for its architectural and
historical elegance. Mysore Palace, the most famous among them is the biggest attraction for the
tourists of historical city of Mysore. Known as Amba Vilas, it is one of the most magnificent
monumental edifices of the country. Rebuilt magnificently (several part of the palace was burnt
to ashes) by Krishnaraja Wodeyar king in 1912, the palace regained its architectural beauty as
well as its royal importance. Modeled on Indo-Saracenic design style, the artwork in every part
of the palace boasts of its incomparable beauty.
The Amba Vilas Palace stands as a monument to the living tradition of skills of the local
artisans, chisellers and engineers who instantly grasped and meticulously executed the somewhat
unfamiliar design ideas of Saracenic inspiration, which they were bidden to incorporate in the
elevation. At the same time, they proved, while sculpting, carving and molding innumerable
native design ideas, particularly in the interiors that the skills, which went into the temple craft of
the Hoysala era, have all been there to be tested and employed. The impressive three-storied
building with the height of 245 feet and breadth of 150 feet respectively is endowed with series
of square towers and arches covered by domes. The open courtyard in the centre of the building
has gold plated domes magnifying its architectural beauty. The most splendid thing is the
collection of art work which includes paintings and portraits of the palace.
Figure 8-2: Buildings Amba Vilas Palace (Mysore Palace)

2. Karanji Vilas Palace
This palace was constructed for the second princess. The construction started in 1902 and was
completed in 1914. It is Indo-Greek style and encompasses 38acres of land. This palace is
located next to Karanji tank. The elevation is remarkable for highly ornate features and
painstakingly executed embellishments and a variety of cusped arches and sun-shades, stone
hewn balconies, each resting on a lotus base, intricately carved stone columns and brackets. A
rich mix of Saracenic and Hindu elements, each somewhat overdone but all of them combining
to produce a balance and quality pleasing elevation.

3. Jagan Mohan Palace
Jagan Mohan Palace was constructed in the year 1861 by Krishna raja Wodeyar III as an
alternate retreat for the royal family. The Mysore Palace, which was the original home of the
royal family, was burnt down in a fire and the construction of a new palace in its place was
started in the year 1897. Till the new palace was completed in 1912, the Jaganmohan Palace was
used by the royals as their home. The palace was used for his daily durbar by the king and also
the special Dasara durbar during the Dasara period. In 1915, the palace was converted into an art
gallery, which was later renamed in 1955 in the name of Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, as the Sri
Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery. The early convocations of the Mysore University were also held
in this palace. The first session of the Legislative Council of the Mysore state was held here in
July 1907.

4. Jayalakshmi Vilas Palace
It is located in the green surroundings of Manasagangotri, the campus of the University of
Mysore. It rises on a hillock on the west side of Kukkarahalli Lake. The Jayalakshmi Vilas
Mansion houses a museum of priceless collections of artifacts.
The mansion was built in 1905, during the period of Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, for princess
Jayalakshmi Ammanni. The location was intentionally chosen to be on top of a small hillock
above Kukkarahalli lake. It was originally called 'the First Ramkumar Mansion'. The mansion
was acquired by the University of Mysore to establish a postgraduate centre in its campus known
as Manasagangotri.

5. Oriental Research Institute
The Oriental Library was started in 1891 on instructions from Chamaraja Wodeyar, the then
Maharaja of Mysore State. It is located at one end of the road Krishnaraja Boulevard, in the
architecturally attractive building to commemorate the golden jubilee of queen Victoria`s
accession to the British throne. It was a part of the Department of Education until 1916, in which
year it became part of the newly established University of Mysore. The Oriental Library was
renamed as the Oriental Research institute in 1943. The tiled roof of the building is supported by
the King Port Trusses.
Figure 8-6: Oriental Research Institute

6. Maharajas and Yuvarajas Colleges
Though built nearly 40 years apart the foundation stone of Maharajas College was laid back in
1889 by the visiting Prince Albert. The two buildings are almost identical in the major stylistic
features of arcaded verandahs on two floors, ventilators niches with circular opening set with
remarkably beautiful cast iron work, a central roof of the Mansard kind, and projecting end-
blocks with smaller conical turrets.
Figure 8-7: Maharajas College

7. Lalit Mahal Palace
This is the second largest palace in Mysore located near the Chamundi Hills on eastern side of
the city. The palace's construction was completed in 1931, by Krishnaraja Wodeyar-IV. It was
specifically built to house the king's guests. The palace is eye-catching by its whiteness, which
comes from the granite stone brought from Italy for the construction of the building. The
building is a majestic two storey composition of twin ionic columns, a projecting porch on the
ground floor on which rests a slightly-recessed pediment pavilion on the first floor and spherical
domes with lanterns, placed on colonnaded drums. The central dome, which dominates the
elevation, rises above the circular entrance hall.
After Indian independence, and the integration of the Mysore state with the Union of India, the
palace became a property of the state Government of Karnataka. It is now one of the elite hotels
in Mysore.
Figure 8-8: Lalit Mahal Palace

8. Cheluvamba Vilas (CFTRI)
This palace was built for the third princes in the year 1910 - 1911 and is beautiful to view. The
dome atop the palace adds to the beauty of the palace. This palace is now CFTRI (Central Food
Technology and Research Institute). The palace hosts the office of CFTRI and surrounded by the
CFTRI housing quarters and office.

Figure 8-9: Cheluvamba Villas (now CFTRI)

9. Devaraja Market
Devaraja market is situated adjacent to Sayyaji Rao Road and is the oldest market in Mysore.
The market can be accessed from four places (D Devaraja Urs Road, Sayyaji Rao Road,
Dhanavatri Road and Santhepet). The building was constructed in early 1900s. The buildings
retain their old charm but have lost some sheen after years of it being used for commercial
activity. The market is spread across five acres with innumerable shops and vendors dotting the
area. The market has different sections for fruits, vegetables, flower, groceries, meat etc.
The heritage building is slowly deteriorating and facing a number of problems with growing
pressure on it from the day-to-day usage and activity within the area. The walkway between the
shops buildings have been occupied by hawkers. It attracts a large crowd every day, particularly
in morning and evening shopping hoUrs. During festivals, it becomes over crowded. The traders
within the market are facing space problem and lack of certain basic requirement for trading. The
market area is not cleaned regularly which leads to decaying of the organic waste dumped in an
around the shops. Lack of proper walking space for customers, and lack of space for vehicles
coming inside the market for loading and unloading makes the whole market very congested.

Figure 8-10: Devaraja Market

Mysore boasts of a large number of public buildings. The rulers of Mysore made ten times more
number of buildings then they made for themselves. Most of the buildings are today utilized for
the same purpose as it was constructed. Some examples of these buildings are the K.R. Hospital,
The law courts, Public offices, Crawford hall, Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts, etc.
mentioned below are some of the buildings.
10. Crawford Hall
Crawford Hall is the administrative seat of the University of Mysore. The prominent crafted
Corinthian columns add to the beauty and grandeur of the building. A heavy Multiple molded
entablature and wide spanned plaster relief picture of goddess Saraswati distinguish the center
block. The building was constructed in 1947.
Figure 8-11: Crawford Hall

11. Krishnarajendra Hospital
Krishna Rajendra Hospital popularly known as the K R Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospitals are
both tertiary referral centers and teaching hospitals attached to the Mysore Medical College in
Mysore. Built in 1876, this stately building is pronouncedly Greco Roman revivalist. A huge
dome resting on an octagonal drum, dominates the elevation. Set in a vast ground, the edifice
deserves a well laid out garden.

Figure 8-12: K. R. Hospital

12. St. Philomenas Cathedral
St. Philomenas is one of the grandest churches within India. Designed in the gothic style its
constructed began in 1933. Located in the north of the city, on Cathedral Road, is St.
Philomenas Cathedral, among the most majestic churches in India. The Reverend Rene Feuge
designed drawing inspiration from Germanys Cologne Cathedral, this colossal church built in
the neo-Gothic style. The twin spires of the Cathedral, 175 feet in height, are seen from miles
around making it a distinctive city landmark. The main hall is designed to seat more than 800
worshippers, is as awesomely handsome as the cathedrals richly crafted exterior. The multiple-
molded columns, bisected by Corinthian capitals, end in stately arches, which in turn guide the
eye to vaults which spring from a sumptuous architrave, converging 55 feet above the flooring.
Mysore is the key city and a focal point of all the tourist and visitors within Mysore and its
surroundings areas. Mysore is the key city where tourist stay and pass by to visit the excUrsions
like Srirangapatnam, Krishnaraja Sagara Dam (Brindavan Garden), Bandipur forest, Nagarhole
reserve forest, etc,. In this context, there are some necessities of infrastructure that have to be
considered for the tourists. Infrastructure like hotels of all grades (low budget to five star hotels),
conference halls, business centers, permanent exhibition centers, art galleries and museums need
to be designed and constructed to promote Mysore as a tourist destination coupled with strong
local economic development.
There are issues of parking within the tourist places; the most prominent of them is the Mysore
Palace, which does not have a designated parking area. There must be requirements for parking
fulfilled where the tourists are major generators of traffic congestion. Hence, land requirement
needs to be made available for the same.
Within the city core, area where most of the buildings are of heritage importance it is necessary
to streamline the control regulations to safeguard the old structures and the construction of new
structures in accordance to the already existing. An example of the same is a new building
constructed near the Makaji chowk on the backside of the Town hall. This is a very new building
and has no resemblance to the town hall or its surrounding buildings. In addition, there is a
dispute over the height of the building. Hence, this type of construction will degrade rich
heritage character of the old Mysore city.
Many buildings and palaces like Lokaranjan Mahal, Rajendra Villas Palace, Gun House etc., are
lying in dilapidated condition and need immediate attention to revive and conservation of these
dying buildings.
It should also be examined if some part of the old Mysore city especially near the palace can be
made pedestrian and decongest the city center area.
With the construction of the new city bus stand there is a little sigh of relief for the traffic
congestion created by the city buses. However, there is a dire need to move the city bust stand
and relocate it.
The existing development control regulations do not have any regulations for the heritage and
old city area. Hence, the special regulations for the heritage area need to be considered for a
better planning and urban conservation within Mysore.
8.5 Tourism
Mysore has always mesmerized the tourists with its quaint charm, rich heritage, magnificent
palaces and grand buildings. Not only Mysore but also its surroundings do have an impact on the
tourists. Tourism is one of the main industries within Mysore. The places of sightseeing, historic
and religious importance in and around Mysore draw huge number of tourists every year both
domestic as well as international. Dasara is the main attraction for the tourists to visit Mysore.
Tourists who visit Mysore also visit the surrounding areas of interest such as Brindavan gardens,
Bandipur forest, Nagarhole tiger reserve, Ooty, Ranganthittu bird century, etc.
Of the total tourists visiting Mysore about 14 lakhs are domestic while 43800 are international
tourists as per a survey conducted by the tourism department of Karnataka. A projection of the
tourist traffic made by the tourism department is given in the table below.

Other major spots within the city are St. Philomenas Church, Zoo Gardens, Balmuri, etc. There
are many tourist attraction centers in and around Mysore and Nanjangud, which attracts a large
number of tourists. Mysore city acts as a connecting link for tourist from all over the world to
these tourist spots like Bandipur National park, which is connected via NH 212, Nagarhole
National Park, is connected through Kodagu district and Kabini River Resorts comes in Mysore
Ooty road.
8.6 Major Tourist Centers in and around Mysore
1. Chamarajendra Zoological Garden
The Mysore zoo is one of the attractions within the city. Houses with some of the rare species of
birds and animals it was set up by Chamaraja Wodeyar. The access to the zoo is from Lokaranjan
palace road. Since the access of the zoo is on the road, it becomes congested and gets blocked by
vehicles and the visitors. There is necessity of proper parking within the zoo premises. The area
can also be organized for hawkers and vendors.
2. Chamundi Hills
A very well known landmark 1050 meters (approx. 3400 feet) high, Chamundi Hills can be
viewed from all the corners of Mysore City. At the top of the hill is a 12
th
century temple of
Chamundeshwari, the patron goddess of the Wodeyars. The hills hence got their name and a
temple of the goddess was built on the top. In earlier days, the Maharajas of Mysore would ride
the ceremonial Dasara elephant during the annual Dasara festival. A 13km road or 1,000 steps
can reach Chamundi hills. Half way up along the stone steps is Nandi, Lord Shivas Bull a
majestic 4.8-meter monolith. Nandi statue is one of the major attractions of Chamundi hill.
Figure 8-13: Nandi atop Chamundi Hills

The Chamundi hill is a reserved forest under the forest department covering an area of 6.4 sq.
km. hence there is no development allowed except for the village of Chamundi next to the
temple atop the hill. The popularity of the Chamundi hill among pilgrims and tourist has
increased over the years and the number of visitors increased to almost six lacs in 2007 - 2008.
Figure 8-14: Chamundi Hills (left) and the temple (right)

Figure 8-15: Hawkers and Street vendors (left) the telecommunication (center) garbage disposal (right)

Key Issues
1. The temple area has been encroached by informal shops and hawkers encroaching on the
road to the temple.
2. There is lack of proper arrangements for organized parking near the temple. There is
requirement of a larger parking space dedicated for four wheelers and buses.
3. Solid waste generated on the hilltop is not collected and dumped properly, due care and
necessary action has to be taken immediately.
4. The physical infrastructure like sanitation facility, hotels for lodging and boarding are
required
5. The telecommunication towers have been erected within the Chamundi hill area
6. The solid waste is dumped within the hill area, which is a threat to the ecosystem of the area
over long period.
7. The conversion of the land use within the reserved area need to be checked and restricted
immediately.
Following measures are suggested to improve the environment of the area around the temple
complex on the top of the hill
1. To meet the contingency of the tourist traffic and to reduce the pressure on the physical
infrastructure, ecology and aesthetic appeal of the temple region, it is necessary to remove
the street hawking business, dabbas, etc and hawking shall be prohibited and only controlled
business be permitted under supervision.
2. Throwing of plastic shall be totally prohibited
3. Any type of development shall be regulated as per the special regulations to be enforced
under this plan.
4. Spots of earth caving in and slips on the hill slopes occurring during monsoon shall be
identified and suitable action be taken to prevent them.
5. Grazing of livestock in the region shall be prohibited and action should be taken to increase
the tree cover on the top of the hill. The existing flora and fauna on the hill shall be
maintained.
3. Krishnarajasagar (KRS)
Krishna Raja Sagar is the first irrigation dam project in India constructed in 1924. Sir M.
Vishweswariah, the engineer who designed and built this dam, has shown his acumen in
converting a dam site into an ornamental garden with colorful fountains and ponds downstream,
called Brindavan Gardens. The dam serves as a means of irrigation for Mandya and Mysore
districts as well as a drinking water source for Mysore and Bangalore districts.

4. Brindavan Gardens
Brindavan Garden is located 18 km northwest of Mysore city. It lies adjoining to the
Krishnarajasagar dam. As per the data available, it is visited by close to two million tourists per
year. The garden is one of the major attractions near the city. It is spread across an area of 60
acres. The main attraction of the garden is the musical fountain in which bUrsts of water is
synchronized to the music of songs.

Many tourist spots near Mysore are easily accessible and are just a few hoUrs away. Some of the
important and frequented places are mentioned below.
1. Kabini River Resort
Kabini River resort is located at the south eastern end of Nagarhole, by the back-waters of
Kabini River 69 Km from Mysore. This area is well known for elephants, about 1500 of them
roam free in the jungles. Another extraordinary thing about the Kabini area is the existence of 60
sq.km of static water inside the forest precincts, the result of a dam built across the river
Beechanhalli. The area is under the control of State Forest Department, and has all necessary
facilities for the tourist.
2. Bandipur National Park
Bandipur National Park (B.N.P.) is one of India's best known protected areas and is an important
Project Tiger reserve. It is located in the Chamarajanagar district of southern Karnataka in South
India, and is contiguous with the Mudumalai National Park in the neighboring state of Tamil
Nadu, the Wynad Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala In 1973, Bandipur became the first Tiger
Reserves in India and the southern most of the nine reserves specially established under Project
tiger. In 1974, it was declared under the Wildlife Protection Act to notify it as a national Park.
3. Nagarhole national Park
Nagarhole National Park, also known as 'Rajiv Gandhi National Park,' is located 94 km from
Mysore. It is spread between Kodagu and Mysore districts. Located to the northwest of Bandipur
National Park, Kabini reservoir separates the two. The exclusive hunting reserve of the former
rulers of Mysore, the park has rich forest cover, small streams, valleys, and waterfalls. It
stretches over 640 km, protecting the wildlife of Karnataka. Together with the adjoining
Bandipur National Park (870 km) and Mudumalai National Park (320 km), it forms the largest
protected area in southern India
4. Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary
Ranganthittu is an important tourist attraction from Mysore City and is barely 20km away. The
bird sanctuary is situated on the banks of the Cauvery River, includes a group of six islets as
well. The islets came into being when a dam across Cauvery River was built in 1700s. The
ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali observed that the isles formed an important nesting ground for birds
and persuaded the Wodeyar the kings of Mysore to declare the area a wildlife sanctuary in 1940.
5. Balmuri and Edmuri
Located on the way to K.R.S from the Mysore City, 3km away from the main road, there are
small waterfalls which are the hot spots for the students and nature lovers. People visiting
Balmuri get an opportunity to visit an ancient Ganesh temple in the vicinity.
6. Himavad Gopalswamy Betta
It is located 70km away from Mysore, situated in one of the chains of Western Ghat and is a fine
hill station at the height of 4769ft surrounded by a fort. The temple on top is dedicated to Lord
Krishna. Throughout the year the hill top will be covered by a veil of cloud or mist and hence the
name Himavad.
7. Shivanasamundra
Shivanasamundra near Malavalli in Mandya district is fast attaining its splendor following an
increase in the quantum of water discharged from the Kabini reservoir. Situated in a rocky terrain
with traces of vegetation, Shivanasamundra is nature at its best during rainy season, with heavy
rainfall expected in the catchment areas of the Cauvery during monsoon and coupled with a good
discharge from the Kabini reservoirs. Located about 60km from Mysore, Shivanasamundra is as
alluring spot where the Cauvery branches off into two streams, each of which make a descent of
about 200ft with a roaring sound when the river is in full flow.
Key Issues
1. One of the requirements for the easy access to the tourist places is the improvement of the
access and connectivity to places like Ooty, Bandipur and Nagarhole. There is also a
requirement for hotels of various grades and categories to cater to different tourists visiting.
Lack of lodging and boarding facilities for different categories is required. Need for
dormitories are also required for tourist plying from nearby rural villages.
2. With increase in floating population of the city, the pressure on infrastructures like water
supply, drainage and waste management etc will be more, the same needs to be taken care
during designing the new system.
3. Guesthouses and restaurants are suggested at places like Shivanasamundra, Srirangapatnam
to attract more tourists.
4. There is a lack of solid waste management in major public places creating debris and waste
littering on the roads and open areas.
5. There is only one tourist information center near the railway station. There is a necessity for
information center near important tourist places.
Chapter 09
Urban Environment
9 Urban Environment
9.1 Introduction
Sustainable development in the City of Mysore begins with a respect and understanding of the
natural systems that provide us with the resources necessary to function and grow, and that
support our outstanding natural environs. These include basic functions such as clean air and
water, but also include stable and fertile soils and irreplaceable natural communities. These
resources and natural systems not only provide drinking water, breathable air, habitats, and
agricultural opportunities, but also serve as the cornerstone to enhancing our overall quality of
life. They offer numerous recreational opportunities and enhance our competitive advantage for
future growth and prosperity. Traditionally, planning for the environment and natural resources
has focused on specific issues affecting public health (water quality, toxic reduction, air
pollution, etc.) and the protection of individual sites or species. What these approaches often fail
to consider is the fact that everything is interconnected.
Mysore city recognizes its environment and natural landscape as part of an urban ecosystem.
This ecosystem includes not only natural resources, habitats, but also human adaptations and
enhancements such as street trees, culverts, and storm water runoff. Environmental problems
associated with urban planning can be classified into two categories, namely, strategic planning
and urban management.
9.2 Water bodies
Mysore city has a good green cover and has eight lakes that add to the beauty and calmness of
the city. Mysore has eight major tanks/lakes, which are a source of open areas within the rapid
urbanizing city. Of these eight lakes, the most frequented are Kukkarahalli and Karanji. These
are popular among citizens as picnic spots, family outings, walking, jogging and other activities.
These tanks were majorly created for the purpose of drinking water to the city of Mysore in the
early 19
th
century. The list of lakes and their details is given below:

One of the nonexistent lakes today; the Doddekere tank near the palace, stands testimony to the
royal dynasties who took keen interest in providing healthy drinking water to the citizens.
Doddekere tank was one of biggest lakes in the city that was a value addition to Mysore Palace.
It was a source of water for inhabitants around. Located to the east of the Mysore Fort, it was in
use some 100 years ago. Surrounded by open space mainly used by rulers of Mysore, the water
body was a remarkable sight. In its surroundings are Summer Palace, Vasanth Mahal, Palace
stables, which is now KSRP head quarters, and Karanji Mansion, the villa of sister of Nalwadi
Krishnaraja Wodeyar. Doddekere now being converted and is used for the purpose of exhibition.
9.2.1 Water Bodies within LPA
In India, both in urban and rural area tanks and lakes are an important aspect of water supply for
drinking and irrigation. In Mysore city, Kukkarahalli, Karanji, Lingambudi, Dalvoy, Devnoor are
the five manmade lakes. These lakes were constructed during Maharajas rule during 19
th

century to fulfill the needs of water supply for drinking, irrigation, industries and other related
works. The source for those lakes was mainly rainwater and urban runoff. By 1910 with the
introduction of electrical services and pumped freshwater from river Cauvery, reduced drinking
water dependency on these lakes. These lakes also enhanced the ground water table.
However, today the fresh water lakes have been the dumping ground for release of sewage,
garbage and silt inflow. There have also been cases of land encroachment or diversion of natural
runoff from the lakes, illegal construction, cutting of foreshore trees leading to soil erosion,
discharge of sewage, silting are the major problems faced by these lakes. The photos below show
the dumping of sewage into the Kukkarahalli and Hebbal lake.
Figure 9-3: Sewage entry into Kukkarahalli Lake (left) and Hebbal Lake (right)

9.2.2 Current Scenario of the Water Bodies in Mysore
Kukkarahalli Lake
Figure 9-4: Location Map, Kukkarahalli Lake

Kukkarahalli lake is located in the heart of the Mysore city, adjoining University of Mysore, the
Kalamandir (Rangayana) and the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI)
campus (separated by the Hunsur Road). The lake has a water spread area of 55 ha. The lake
used to be a source of water supply to the city of Mysore but over the years, sewage, excessive
land encroachments and blockage of water flow sources have led to the degradation of the water
quality. The University of Mysore is taking necessary steps to rejuvenate the lake. Currently the
University of Mysore is preparing a DPR for the up gradation of the foreshore of area of the lake
and improve the water quality for providing a better environment to the visitors of the lake. The
lake serves as a recreational centre for the public, with the jogging path providing space for
people for walk.
Karanji Lake
Figure 9-5: Location Map, Karanji Lake

Karanji Lake is one of the favorite haunts of migratory birds like herons and egrets. The lake
started getting polluted when sewage from the nearby residential areas were let into the lake.
This pollution led to the destruction of aquatic life in the lake and with the food source getting
depleted, the migratory birds started to avoid the lake. The lake, which is surrounded by a nature
park consisting of a butterfly park and a walk through aviary the biggest in India. There is also
the Regional Museum of Natural History, which is located on the banks of this lake. The total
area of Karanji Lake is 36.4 ha. While water spread area is about 22 ha, the foreshore area
measures about 14 ha. Karanji lake is owned by the Mysore Zoo Authority.
Government approved the proposal of Restoration & Development of Karanji Tank under Asian
Development Bank Project through Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development Finance
Corporation (KUIDFC). The important works taken up include cleaning and protection of
damaged portion of the feeder channel, improvement to feeder channel, construction of wetland,
visitors facilities etc.
Lingambudi Lake
Figure 9-6: Location Map, Lingambudi Lake

The lake was constructed by Krishnaraja Wodeyar-III in 1828 AD in memory of his wife,
Lingajammanni. The lake is spread over 52 ha, is being conserved and developed by Minor
Irrigation Dept and the Zoo Authority. It is one of the biggest and oldest lakes in Mysore, home
to wide variety of water birds. Despite heavy rains in the catchments, only small quantities of
rainwater can be seen in the lake. Six island formations are within the tank bed for the promotion
of birds habitation and wild life in that area. A unique feature of the lake is the Herbal Park,
which is of great use to the research students and scholars.
Hebbal Lake
Figure 9-7: Location Map, Hebbal Lake

Hebbal Lake is situated on the North of the existing KIADB Hebbal industrial area. The Hebbal
Lake is constantly polluted by untreated sewage from the nearby residential layouts. The lake has
potential to receive industrial effluents due to its proximity with the industrial area. There were
two sewage inlets to the lake.
Devanur Lake
Figure 9-8: Location Map, Devanur Lake

Devanur Lake is situated between N.R Mohalla and Udayagiri area. It is one of the most polluted
Lakes in Mysore city, and it has turned into a breeding ground for mosquitoes. With feeder,
canals that bring fresh water into it are virtually blocked due to dumping of solid waste into the
lake, mainly plastic papers and bottles. Refer to the photo below.
Figure 9-9: Blockage of feeder canal near the eastern side (left) and weeds within the lake (right)

The storm water channels mostly carry sewage from the nearby layouts, which encourages the
growth of weeds, which intern hampers the visibility of the lake. Sewage is supposed to enter the
lake from the eastern side through the storm water drain and exit into other on the western side.
The absence of underground drainage system seems to be the major problem leading to the
pollution of the lake.
Dalvoy Lake
Figure 9-10: Location Map, Dalvoy Lake

Dalvoy Lake is located 5km south of Mysore city towards Nanjangud on the Bangalore Nilgiri
road. The total catchment area of the lake is approximately 360 acres. The main source of water
to this lake is rainfall, urban runoff from elevated areas through storm water drains. The lake is
primarily fed by storm water through drains from the major part of the city. The major quantum
of water/sewage generally enters into the lake through one of its inlet drain. The lake water is
used for agricultural purpose towards the eastern side of the lake through a sizable earthen bund.
40 MLD of sewage water into the lake and two outlets having discharge of same quantum of
water.

9.3 Protection of Natural Resources / Forest
Figure 9-11: Land use map of Chamundi hill and its surrounding

Mysore and its surroundings are rich in flora and fauna. Mysore has managed to save large tracts
of land as reserved forests and open areas. Within the LPA, there are reserved forests and
conserved green areas. The largest of them is the Chamundi Betta Reserved Forest, which covers
an approx. area of 613 ha. Rest of the areas is within the west of the LPA at Yelwala,
Bomannahalli and Bastipura. The total area of coverage of the reserved forest under the Forest
Department is 950 ha. Mentioned below is the table showing various areas under the reserved
forest and notified under the Karnataka Forest Act 1963.

Chamundi Reserved Forest
The Chamundi Hills Reserve Forest comprises an isolated range of hillocks, popularly known as
Chamundi Betta, with a periphery of 613 ha, situated southeast of Mysore city. Being an
overpowering geographical feature of the landscape, Chamundi Hills influence on the ecology
of the region plays a crucial role in the microclimate of Mysore. Chamundi Hills not only
provides green cover and lung space for Mysore, but is also a major watershed and helps in
ground water recharge and regulating the micro climatic conditions. It is a prominent part of the
Cauvery River basin, and an important watershed for the lakes and tanks. The Karnataka state
forest department presently protects the reserve forest. Chamundi Hills' fragile eco-system is
already under threat due to encroachments. Several buildings have come up in the region
increasing encroachment upon the buffer zone. It is imperative to draw a buffer zone to prevent
encroachment and conserve its pristine environs. The Chamundi Hills is already under
tremendous stress due to land encroachment at the foothills and construction works taken up on
the top.
Thousands of pilgrims visit the hills during the weekdays and about 20,000 during weekends.
Mysore is in danger of losing its green cover as large tracts of forestland around the Chamundi
Hills have been encroached upon and destroyed. The hills are an intrinsic part of the
environmental, cultural and spiritual heritage of Mysore. Garbage menace Heaps of non-
degradable garbage is dumped on and around the hills. Even today, the authorities concerned are
unable to handle the garbage left by tourists and devotees at the top and on the way up to hills.
Below is the photo showing the garbage dumped on the side of hill.
The village of Chamundi is also facing threat with the construction of new houses and the
increased pressure on infrastructure like provision of water supply, solid waste management,
sewerage, etc. the demolition of old houses and construction of new houses is changing the face
of the hill top. The dumping of construction material and impermeable surface also will affect
the surface runoff and hence affect the ground water table.
9.4 Open spaces within the LPA
Increase in population and unbridled urbanization of Mysore city has eaten away open spaces
and agricultural areas around the Mysore city, as the city continues to expand horizontally. The
Mysore Urban Development Authority has proposed new residential layouts on the periphery of
the city, which is an indication of vanishing of more agricultural land around the city. The city
has open green areas as parks, gardens and water bodies. It is mandatory for all the housing
layouts constituted by MUDA or private developers to reserve areas for parks and open within
them. These areas are taken over by MUDA or MCC to be converted into parks for public use.
The authority then provides the infrastructure facilities. Due to this, there are many green spaces
within the Mysore city. Some of the parks are maintained by MUDA and MCC as part of large
public spaces. The total area of the parks, play grounds and other open spaces within Mysore
urban area is 700.25 Ha and Nanjangud is 2.68 Ha. Other open areas are the glades cricket
ground, the oval playground, open ground of the Maharajas College and spaces within the
University of Mysore campus. The water bodies like Kukkarahalli, Karanji, Lingambudi, etc also
form the part of the open areas. Chamundi Vihar stadium, the Race Club and the Golf club are
other big open spaces within the city. With rapid urbanisation and increased land prices, there is
a serious need to save and conserve these spaces within the LPA.
Mysore also lacks spaces for sports such swimming pool. It has one swimming pool at
Saraswathipuram maintained by the university of Mysore. Places like sports clubs are missing.
Zoo is another lung space that the city has. The list of selected parks and open green spaces
within the city of Mysore are described in the table below.

9.5 Agricultural lands within the LPA
Major agriculture areas situated in the east and west between the developed areas of Mysore and
the LPA boundary either have got approval for the Conversion of land use or is under
consideration for the approval for change of land use from agriculture to non agriculture use. On
the east side of the LPA the villages of Hanchya, Vajamangala, Bhugatagally, Chikkanahally,
Choranahalli, Lalithadripura, Yandahally, Uthanalli, Madapar, Hosahundi, Bandipaliya and
Marasatthanally are the ones where most of the agricultural land has been given the approval for
the non agriculture use. While on the west of the LPA, the villages of Elwala, Huiyalu, Belavadi,
Madagally, K. Hemanahally, Martikyatanahally, Kergally, Nagarathanally, Yadahalli, Halalu,
Kenchanagudu and Dadahally are the ones, which have most of the lands that are deemed to be
converted to the non-agricultural use. While the villages of Bastipura, Hulikere, Belagula,
Hongalli, Mogarahalli in the north and Mandakalli, Gude Madanahalli and Kadakola in the south
have been reserved for natural growth o f these villages for urbanisation. It may be noted that the
urbanisation trend for the city of Mysore will be more toward west as there are more dry lands as
compared to North and east. The north portion of LPA has wetlands under the KRS irrigation
channels.
9.6 Air Quality
Mysore was one of the cities with major green areas and open spaces. Mysore has now been
undergoing rapid urbanisation and hence it is necessary to understand the air quality within the
city. The ambient air quality monitoring is necessary as it is related to the health of the citizens,
spread of diseases and other conditions within a city. In Mysore, the air quality has been within
the permissible limits specified by the Pollution Control Board.
In Mysore, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) is the authority responsible for
the monitoring of air quality. There are three monitoring stations at Mysore one at KSPCB office
building in Hebbal Industrial area, second at KSRTC building at Krishnarajendra circle and the
third at Government First Grade College building at Kuvempunagar, which is in the midst of a
residential locality. The parameters analyzed are Sulphur dioxide (SO
2
), Oxides of Nitrogen
(NO
X
), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM).

The table below describes the air quality in Mysore city for the last ten years, which has been
monitored by KSPCB.

The ambient air quality of the Mysore city is well within the permissible limits. With the
increase in the vehicular traffic and traffic load, it is evident that the pollution limits will
increase. The concentration of all the four parameters is well within the prescribed standards of
the pollution control board. The reason for the decreasing in concentrations may be use of
advanced equipments in the indusrial sector, green areas with in the city and awarenes of the
citizens.

Location of Identified Problems
10 Location of Identified Problems
There are a few HT line alignments in the city area, where certain stretches have residential
developments below them. These are undesirable developments. These have to be got vacated
and clear buffer, as required under the Electricity board rules, have to be provided in the urban
limits in the LPA.
10.1 Industry
There are no non-conforming industries in residential areas. The nuisance is only limited to the
location of the workshops and most of these are car service & car repair establishments and
then location of meat shops which are unhygienic. The hopcoms outlets and fish selling outlets
located on the footpath, milk both, cobbler shops located on the footpath need to be suitably
relocated.

Proceedings of Karnataka State Government
Sub: Revision of Local planning area limits of Mysore to meet the requirements of the probable
satellite towns reg.,
Read: Letter No; Urban development Department 431 MUDA 2009 dated 1-10-2009 of Director
of Town and Country planning Bangalore.
Proposal: In the letter referred above The Director Town and Country planning Bangalore has
informed the Government that the Mysore Urban Development Authority has taken up the
revision of the Master plan for Mysore-Nanjangud Local planning area and in this context the
Authority has felt the need for three alternative satellite Urban units, in view of the
developments in two hobli namely Jayapura hobli (3 villages) and Elawala hobli( 4 villages)
limits adjacent to the existing Local planning area, hence the authority has sent a proposal to
extend the limits of the local Planning area to include theses 7 Villages. Mysore city being the
second largest and important city center at a distance of 140kms from the state capital and that
the city is a center of tourism, education and administration, the citys growth at this stage is
considered as prime and in the days to come the control of developments may become difficult
if the planning efforts are not made properly.
The express Highway project between the Mysore and Bangalore under BMICPA is in progress
and the Bangalore Mysore railway track is being doubled and if these projects are completed
the Mysore city has high growth potential, it is necessary to take all the precautions and frame
the policies. It is also necessary to control the developments in the Gram panchayaths adjoining
the Local planning area. Under These circumstances The Director Town and country planning
Bangalore has recommended to declare the area of these seven revenue villages as Local
planning area.
Government Order No: UDD 431 MUDA 2009 dated 24-12 -2009
In View of the reasons cited above the Mysore city Local Planning area has been extended to
include seven revenue villages as per the schedule I appended to this order and declare it as the
Local planning area under section 4(a)(1) of KT&CP act 1961

By order in the name of Governor
