FOREWORD
Rampur town is situated on the left bank of Satluj River in the interior Himalayan region at a
distance of 130 kms. from Shimla, in the North-East direction. Town is well known for its rich
architectural and cultural heritage and numerous historical monuments. Town has served as a trade
and commerce centre from times immemorial. Rampur town has been seat of erstwhile Bushahar
Princely State since 1681 A.D. The town has potential for development as regional development
hub by virtue of its location on National Highway-5 amidst rich horticultural hinterland.
Town has status of Municipal Council having population of 5,655 persons as per Census
year 2011, and is one of the fastest growing towns in Shimla District, owing to rapid urbanization as
well as ribbon development along the National Highway No.5. Besides, town has acute shortage of
service and developable land and other facilities.
In order to have planned and regulated growth of this town, the Government of Himachal
Pradesh, vide Notification No. PBW (B&R) (B) 26 (29)/86, dated 01.05.1986, extended the
Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act (Act No. 12 of 1977) to Rampur Planning Area.
The Existing Land Use of this Planning Area was prepared and adopted/frozen vide Notice No.
HIM/TP-RPB-DP/87-11305-454, dated 30.03.1987. Subsequently, Development Plan for Rampur
Planning Area was finalised after consideration of objections and suggestions of public and was
approved by the State Government vide Notification No.TCP/F(6)-15/95 Shimla, 171002, Dated
18.07.1996.
However, it has been observed that since rapid development has taken place in town
vicinity, thus Development Plan needs to be revised immediately. Also the plan period of existing
Development Plan is already over in the year 2001.
Consequently the revised Development Plan for Rampur Planning Area was prepared.
However, it was returned by Directorate to field office for enhancement and enrichment. The
enrichment was on final stage; however, in the mean time the areas across Sutlej River, falling
within Kullu District consisting of Revenue villages of Thachwa, Tunan and Poshna, were excluded
from Rampur Planning Area by the State Government vide Notification No. TCP-F (10)-1/2008-II
Shimla, dated 1st August, 2012. The area excluded planning area falling under these Revenue
Villages measures about 809.90 Hectares. Due to exclusion of these prominent residential areas,
now the remaining area of 660.00 hectares is taken up for Revised Development Plan, 2021.
This revised Development Plan for Rampur Planning Area contemplates an increase of
population from 10,653 persons in 2011, to 13,849 persons in 2021. Keeping in view the future
requirements for various land uses like Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Support facilities and
Services, Public and Semi-Public, Parks and Open Spaces, Traffic and Transportation etc., an
additional land are of 113.99 Hectares shall be required. Phasing and implementation of
development has been worked out in view of development priorities to meet needs of growing town
as well as regional dependent population. Total cost of creation of service land for urbanisable area
has been estimated at about Rs. 8.0 Crores (Rupees Eight Crores) which includes the construction
cost of community car parking, whole sale market and warehousing complex as well as
improvement of bye-passes in the urban area.
Zoning and Sub-Division of land Regulations have been framed to achieve objectives of a
well planned and regulated growth, incorporating the Town and Country Planning Rules, 2014.

public representatives and Non Government Organizations (NGOs) have been organized in
Rampur planning area to know their views on various problems and potentials of the town
and suggestions thereof.
1.2
To examine the quantitative and qualitative aspects of various land uses, development
activities, problems and potentialities of the Rampur planning area, primary and secondary
sources of data has been utilized, which form the basis for working out projections, proposal

CHAPTER – 2
RAMPUR TOWN OVER TIME
2.1
NOMENCLATURE
The legend of Bushahr Dynasty revealed that, this town was founded in the 16th century by
Maharaja Ram Singh and setup as capital of Bushahr State. Town has various temples
majority of which are dedicated to Lord Shiva showcasing typical hill architecture style of
designed sloping slate roofs and continuous rows of windows. In Bushahr State, Rampur
town was famous for exchange of goods and services from Tibet to Indian plains. The
National level annual fair and festival i.e. Lavi and Fag are organized in Rampur town.
2.2
LOCATION AND PHYSICAL SETTING
Rampur is located along the left bank of Satluj River on the National Highway No.5,
connecting Kaurik in District Kinnaur on one hand and Shimla, Kalka and Chandigarh on
the other. Geographically, it is situated at an altitude of 1000 Mts. above Mean Sea Level
(MSL), and is located at 31° 27’ North Latitude and 77° 41’ East Longitude. The town is
bounded by high mountains cliffs on both sides, running parallel to river Sutlej, and major
development has come up along small river terraces of Sarahan-Narkanda and Nirmand-
Jalori ranges.

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
Rampur town has peculiar geographical setting in a narrow valley and has sub - tropical
climatic conditions characterized by hot summer and cold winters. The temperature ranges
between 10°C to 41°C. The January is the coldest and June is hottest month of the year. The
town enjoys sunshine only for four hours during the winter leading to extremely cold
weather. Majority of rainfall occurs during the Monsoon season in the months of July up to
September. Snowfall is very rarely experienced at this altitude. Local wind affects micro-
weather conditions of the town. The panoramic view of lofty snow clad mountains provides
a unique attraction. The lush green majestic deodar forest and meandering serpentine water
of river Satluj in deep gorge is highly attractive natural features of Rampur town.
2.3
EVOLUTION
The historic Hindustan-Tibet trade route was well known as ‘Pashmina Road’ in earlier
period of 16th Century. The Namgiya Pact for exchange of goods and trade was accorded
between Raja Kehar Singh and his Chinese counterpart in respect of Pashmina, dry fruits,
horses and jems & jewelry as well as services. The Bushahr chronicles reveales that Raja
Kehar Singh, the founder of Bushahr kingdom, ruled from 1639 to 1696 A.D with his
headquarters at Saharan in upper Satluj Valley. Later on headquarter was shifted from
Sarahan to Rampur. In the year 1948, Bushahr State became part of central administration
as the Chief Commissioner's province. After reorganization of the States in the year 1971, it
was established as Headquarter of Sub- Divisional Tehsil.
2.4
MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Rampur town enjoys the status of a Municipal Council in Shimla District. It has population
of 5,655 with an area of 174.0 Hect. and urban limits extend from Khaneri to Dakolar
within 8.5 Kms stretch. About 58.55% of total planning area population is residing within
urbanisable limits and remaining 41.45% resides in rural area. Majority of commercial
activities are concentrated in M.C. area, which accounts for 85% of the total commercial.
Street pattern in M.C. area is linear along river terrace, while width of street is narrow,
causing constant congestion and bottlenecks to free movement of resident as well as
shoppers. Municipal Council, Rampur is divided into seven wards.
2.5
STATUS OF TOWN
The existing land use of Rampur Town was frozen in 1986 under H.P Town and Country
Planning Act 1977 for the planned and regulated development of town as well as the region.
The rapid pace of urbanization process and force of consumerism has made town chaotic
and haphazard. Constant jams and bottlenecks in town traffic and haphazard uncontrolled
commercial activities are prime concerns. Inadequate availability of serviced land is
another major concern of Rampur town. With increased car ownership, the majority of
community cars are parked along roadsides, which causes inconvenience to free and smooth
movement of heavy traffic. The Revised Development Plan 2021 has envisaged the
requirements keeping in view the sustainable and comprehensive development of rapidly
growing town. Population as well as migration forces in Rampur town are increasing
rapidly on each and every spur of town in irregular, uncontrolled and haphazard manner.

CHAPTER – 4
REGIONAL SCENARIO
4.1
RAMPUR REGION
Rampur was historically a seat of Bushahr Kingdom-cum-capital of Bushahr State. By
virtue of strategic location, a confluence place of River Satluj was halting centre for traders
and regional communities. Over time, last remaining glory of town has depleted and forces
of consumerism, materialism with urbanization has speed up manifold. In this view,
morphology and dimension of townscape has altered, development has come up on river
terrace between the parallel hills running along the river as well as National Highway-5.
Town plays a pivotal role as regional centre as well as Sub. Divisional H.Q. of Rampur
Tehsil as about 10% of total district population is housed in Rampur Tehsil.
4.2
REGIONAL LINKAGES
Rampur town is well connected by roads and air services. Luxury and Govt. coaches,
ordinary buses ply to Rampur, Shimla, Chandigarh, Delhi and Kinnaur. Long route bus
services connects all parts of the District HQs.

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
Two Air service Helipads exists, one is with in Planning Area at Shinlga and other is
located in hinterland at Sarahan. Besides, Army Buses ply to remote regions i.e. Kinnaur
and Spiti. Major regional road N.H. -5 cuts throuhg the town, which connects Kaurik in
Kinnaur to Shimla, Solan and Chandigarh in plains.Other neighbouring town like Mandi,
Karsog, Nirmand and Kullu by Jallori pass are well connected throgh major district roads.
In addition to this, Northern Railway has proposed to connect it by Trains due to its regional
importance and Hydro- electric potential, strategic border area for Army and untapped
potential of Tribal heritage and cultural Tourism development.
4.3
REGIONAL RESOURCES
Agriculture and Horticulture are main stay of economy of this region. The geo-climate
features of this region are very much congenial for the development of horticulture pursuits,
especially the temperate zone fruits. During recent years, the horticulture has become a
major concern of economy of this region. A strategic shift from agriculture to horticulture
practices in the economic pattern of this region has revolutionized the economic condition
of people. This has led to commercialization, industrialization, marketing and urbanization.
The production of apple has become single major horticulture produce of the state, which
alone covers about 1,03,644 hectaer area as on 2011. The apple production has increased
from 1200 tonnes in 1950-51 to 10.08 Lakh tonnes by 2010. During the year 2013-14 apples
season about 3.32 Crores Apple boxes were produced in the state. Rampur Tehsil is also
famous for potato and peas production. It is anticipated that Rampur Town will continue to
serve as a major collection and distribution hub of a vast regional hinterland.
4.4
REGIONAL ATTRACTIONS
In
Shimla
district
Rampur is one of the
renowned destination
for culture, social and
religious
activities.
Majority of hinterland
attraction are Saharan,
Shri Khand, wild life
Sanctuary and Hot
water natural source
at Jurri in north of the
planning area. South
of
it
Narkanda,
Shimla as well as
Nimand Anni and Jalori
pass is a quite attractive tourist spot.
4.5
REGIONAL IMPERATIVES
Strategies of the Development Plan are being set out in consonance to regional context for
sustainable and comprehensive development of the regional growth centers. Emerging
growth centers along the National Highway-5 and State Highways is prime concern of
today. In order to ensure planned and regulated growth the Development Plan has been
envisaged within the framework of spatial planning.

CHAPTER – 5
PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ENVIRONMENT
5.1
PHYSICAL CHARACTER AND ITS DETERIORATION
The sloping grounds and many skylines of Rampur Bushahr were
famous for its sacrosanct as well as known for religious
confluence of the Lord Ram and Shiva, which exposes by the
present symbol of Temples. Once these religious monuments
were sources of harmony, preserver and village Devta of area
concerned. Growing consumerism and urbanisation process
depleted the value of landscape, which was maintained by the
Bushahr Kingdom, once in the period of 16-17th Century. Most
of the traditionally contributing factors such as transhumance,
terracing and vernacular architecture are now bounded by the
massive concrete residential buildings, destroyed the value of
natural landscape.
Majority commanding sites, hill architectural structures
developed and maintained by the Bushahr Kingdoms was
almost get over and mixed with the force of consumerism in
unplanned and haphazard manner. The natural heritage and
landscaping preserved by Dynasty was not in consonance of
systematic and scientific manner. Even, natural flow of
melodious Satluj River went away from intended people
and nature lovers due to advent of massive concrete
structures along the banks of river.
The fast pace of economic development and tourism
potential are leading to a large scale recreational,
infrastructure projects and land use changes taking place in
absence of adequate measures, in terms of environmental
norms like carrying capacity, environmental impact
assessment etc. having a direct visible impacts on the eco-
fragile
landscape
of
planning
area.
Infrastructure
requirements and the demands of creating new linkages and
roads, water, energy etc. is creating pressure over prime land resources.
In this view, diappearence of traditional form of pristine forests, orchards and agriculture
land in planning areas are having massive social, economic and ecological repercussions.
Increasing population and migrant labours are prime concern, usually occupying a single
room by six persons without availability of convenient utilities like urinal, toilets and water
supply. Massive housing constructions spreading along steep hill slopes without considering
the proper gradients, accessibility and scientific technical assistance is another major
concern of the town. The multi-storeyed buildings on hill slopes, with RCC foundations and
framed structures have become a common phenomena. Even this type of construction is
unsafe for the geological stability of slopes is aesthetically discarded. Thus, micro-climate
of town is also changing due to manifold increase of concrete jungle. Encroachments have
reached serious proportions and much of the activity pertains to the business establishments.
The congestion in Bazaar area is mainly due to such encroachments. Most of the residential
buildings are unauthorised constructions in Municipal Council as well as in Planning Area.

MOUNTING PRESSURE ON LAND RESOURCES
Original structure of town was developed and evolved by the Royal Bushahr Dynasty ruled
upto 1824 to 1856 AD; namely by Raja Ram Singh, who was regarded as a founder of the
Rampur Bushahr in upper Mahasu District.
Over the time, the size and structure of Town has increased manifold, primarily after
constitution of Sub. Divisional Head Quarter of Rampur Tehsil. Resultant pressure over
land has increased with its various requirements of infrastructure and basic amenities. The
housing stocks, water supply, Traffic & Transportation, sewerage lines, Electricity supply
and tourist infrastructure are under severe stress and strain. No single piece of land
remained in Town is fully utilized and cater for infrastructure requirements. The immense
pressure on land resources has led to degradation of eco- fragile landscapes. Every
commanding sites, gorges and flat spurs are by cutting, eroding for constructions, haphazard
development, traffic hazards, over concentration in main market areas. Pollution level is
very high in terms of vehicular pollution, noise, air, water and inadequate coverage of Green
areas around the Town has grossly effect its ecosystem. High rate of construction activity is
damaging the natural soil profiles as well as its scenic beauty.
5.3
CLIMATIC VARIATION
Increasing heat in summers, declining quantum of snow in winters, unusual behaviour of
monsoon and frequent spells of dry weather the prime climatic concerns. The highest
temperature during summer months of the May, June and July goes even more than 40°C.
The temperature, how ever goes down even below 10°C during winters. The Town has rare
experiences of snow falling in winters.
5.4
GEO- HAZARDS
There is constant environmental and aesthetic degradation. Increased commercial activity,
unplanned physical growth and mass
influx of rural population have erupted the
fragile relationship between the built form
and nature. Metamorphosed Himalayan
system
has
Shali
series,
permo-
carboniferous and sedimentary rocks. The
upper layer of soil constitutes the mixture
of sandy hill soil; depth of soil is very
shallow. The type of forest is northern
mixed deciduous forest, scattered in patches
below Chir Pine (1200m) on the banks streams as well as river Satluj. The recent two
decade mass organic growth, on account of establishment of Government Offices, influx of
people in Town from hinterlands for employment and urbanisation force, resulted in to

unplanned growth of Town. The residential buildings developed along the river beds are
prone to occurring the natural calamities like flood, cloudburst, earthquake. During the year
2000, natural floods washed away nearly 30 houses along both the banks of river Satluj with
in the planning area. In this view, development Plan envisaged that residential development
along river shall not be allowed to reconstruct at considerable distance from the river beds.
Adjoining area of town’s physiographic is susceptible to land slide and sinking areas. Two
multi-storeyed Government Buildings has been sinked due to geologically lose strata and
shallow soil layers nearby the Victoria Bridge namely, Bushahr Sadan and Tar Bhavan. In
Jagatkhana area the residential houses are constructed between the cracks and vacuum as
well as sliding areas of the spurs without sound technical assistance and plans. It is
imperative that, conservative planning measures be adopted for improving the quality of
Rampur Town’s environment on priority basis.
5.5
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION CHAOS
Rampur town is situated along the National Highway-5, which connects from Kaurik in
Kinnaur to Kalka- Chandigarh plain. Traffic on this road is the busiest in terms of local and
regional movement of vehicles whether it is
small and heavy traffic like Hydel Projects
Machines, Army and loaded Apple trucks.
Besides this, Town has substantial number
of Taxis, Auto rickshaw and private
vehicles, which is usually queued up and
parked on Highway, causing maximum
accidents due to inadequate space for free
movement of vehicles. Thus, smooth traffic
movement is being seriously effecting. In
spite of this, basic amenities like sewerage
which is usually queued up and parked on
Highway, causing maximum accidents
due to inadequate space for free movement of vehicles. Thus, smooth traffic movement is
being seriously effecting. In spite of this, basic amenities like sewerage, drainage and waste
disposal is prime concerns. Planning and management of these are essential. Drains along
the buildings are open, generating with nuisance smells and untreated sewers disposed of in
Satluj river. Major streets in market area are congested and overcrowded and commercial
goods and services cannot be provided conveniently by vehicles upto shops. Almost all
major and ninor streets are connected by a well planned network of interconnecting steps.
Majority of vegetable vendors occupies a plenty of space along and on the steps thus
causing inconvenience to pedestrian movement. Informal sector is gradually mushrooming
and encroaching on roadsides, leading to chocking of major access points.
5.6
GREEN COVERS
Beautification
of
town
is
dependent
over
maximising green cover and green buffers
interlinking various landuses thus creating a
healthy,
wealthy
and
vibrating
townscape.
Inadequate green covers in Rampue town appears
ugly as concrete jungle is dominating its skyline
and threatening its fragile environs. Area like Pat-
Baunglow, Pipty, Chuhabagh and Khopri has good
amount of green cover and have a gamut of
plantation, but rapid pace of housing construction
is encroaching these green areas also.

DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTER
6.1
POPULATION GROWTH
Rampur Teshil, as per Census 2011, has population of 77,542 persons, which accounts for
9.52% of total District population. In Rampur tehsil about 67,232 persons are rural
inhabitant and 10,310 urban. About 13.74% of the total Tehsil level population is
accommodated in Rampur Town as well as Planning Area. The population of Planning Area
has increased from 8,896 persons in 2001 to 10,653 persons in 2011 at a decadal growth
rate of 19.75%. There has been a negligible change in M.C. area population during the
same period but Shingla, Khaneri and Dhakolar area has grown rapidly. As per Census
2011, Rampur is classifed as ‘Class V’ category town and regarded as a status of Municipal
Council having seven (7) Electoral wards with 1507 households. Total number of
households in planning area is about 2877. The decadal population growth variation for
Rampur Plannig Area is shown below in Table 6.1.

Table reveals that, for Rampur
Planing area, on an average
decadal growth variation is about
2500 persons and an avergae
decadal growth rate of nearly
30.00%. Year 2011 has been
taken as base population year
and
accordingly
future
projections has been worked for
the planning horizon year 2021
A.D.
As per estimates, the planning area population is likely to increase from 10,653 in 2011 to
about 13,849 persons by the year 2021. Thus, future planning strategies are to be envisaged
in accordance to population growth and its changing social environment. Projected
population and growth trends is shown in Figure 11.
6.2
DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION IN PLANNING AREA
The occupied landscape for the built environment is historically famous and time memorial
in view of trades, fair-festivals and other socio-cultural activities. Major Bushahry
traditional activities are still being organised in front of Padam Palace, like ‘Lavi’ and ‘Fag’
fairs. Majority of spatial distribution of population has come up along 8.5 kms. long stretch
Figure 11: Rampur Town Population Growth Trends

6.3
AGE AND SEX COMPOSITION IN PLANNING AREA
The comparative figures of age groups for the Town and District reveal close similarity in
the percentage distribution among the various age groups. Being a service Town and Sub
Divisional HQ, a large number of population in 25 to 58 years age-group dominates as this
age group holds employment in various Government and Semi-Government organisations.
Sex-ratio composition of the planning area is given below in Table 6.3.
Table 6.3: Sex- Ratio Composition in Planning Area, 2011
Source: Census Hand Book, 2011
The sex-ratio of Rampur Planning Area is quite low at 902 as compared to other small
towns and the state figure of 972. The sex-ratio in M.C. and other areas, mostly in rural, is
almost same. Reason behind a lower or a skewed sex-ratio is that Rampur being a service
and administrative town, more males are involved in service sector and in majority of cases
their familes resides in native places.
6.4
POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS
6.4.1 Household
Household size while related to number of habitable rooms gives an idea about occupancy
ratio and the degree of congestion. It has its utmost use in estimating the future housing
requirements of the Town according to Census 2011, it is observed that there are about
2,877 households and average household size is about 4 members.
6.4.2 Density Pattern
Density reveals to understand the intensity of the use of urban land, problem of
overcrowding arising out of congestion and high occupancy rate, building bulk, adequacy

and inadequacy of household of open space etc. As per survey the Net Density of Rampur
town is over 300 persons/Hect. Total area under Town & Country Planning Act, 1977 is
660.0 hectares.
6.4.3 Literacy
As per Census 2011, literacy rate in Rampur town is quite high as 85.27% persons in M.C.
are literate. Positive factor in literacy is due to the presence of numerous educational
institutions and professional training centres. Literacy among female is marginally lower
than male, i.e. 82.59% as against 87.69% literate male. In Rampur planning area the literacy
rate is marginally lower at 82.15%. Male literacy is higher at 85.34% as compared to
78.61% females in planning area.
6.4.4 Work force
Being in the category of service town, Rampur M.C. has a population of 5,655 persons as
per Census 2011, of which only 1886 are workers. About 1839 workers are main workers
and 47 are marginal workers and non workers are about 3769, which is comparatively
higher than other workers. It reveals that the dependent population includes a large number
of old age persons and small children within planning area.
6.5
REGIONAL URBAN POPULATION IN SHIMLA DISTRICT
In State, Shimla alone enjoys the status of Municipal Corporation with a population of
1,69,578 as per Census 2011. Eight more small Towns, of which three(3) towns have status
of Nagar Parishad(Municipal Council) and five(5) towns have status of Nagar Punchayat.
Rampur town has status of Municipal Council (Nagar Parishad) consisting of seven
electoral wards and is one of the rapidly growing town in Shimla District. Status of regional

As per Census data from 1991 to 2011, in urban areas the growth of population and
urbanisation process is less than lower Himalayan Districts Towns of the State, owing to
geographical constraints and limited resources in upper hill areas. The settlement patterns in
these areas are more dispersed than in lower part of the State. The growth process in
Rampur town hinterland is increasing rapidly and expending mainly along the N.H–5
corridor. Important nodes like Nogly, Duttnager, Nirth, Bhadrash, Kingle and Kumarsen
located towards Shimla in south direction and Jakhari, a place of SJVN at distance of 10
Kms, Jeori and Saharan in the north of the Planning area are growing rapidly to prominence.

Figure 12: Comparative Population Growth of Urban Centres in Shimla District, 1991-2011
These growth poles are playing a vital role at regional context in terms of economic and
social development. It is imperatives to note that, this Development Plan has contemplated
the impact of these dependent nodes also for a systematic, well planned and sustainable
regional development.
6.6
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
From 1961 onward population growth in planning area has grown manifolds in terms of
demographic characters i.e. household density, sex-ratio and workforce. Based on these
indicators, future anticipation has been worked out for the year 2021 with the rate of 30.0%
decadal growth and 600 persons are to be estimated as floating population in planning area.
Town being located in very strategic area, the influx of floating population may be higher
than other towns in Shimla. Thus, growth and development of planning area population
shall depend upon collective and individual factors of Demographic characters.
6.7
FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH RATE
As already noted the increasing trend of birth and decreasing death rate would affect the
population projection. Rampur Town’s changing socio-economic condition and better
health facility is now a major full factor of rural population migration to the Town. If the
migration is unchecked no doubt, it will have its effect on the growth of population
projected for future vis-à-vis town and its hinterland has huge potential.
6.8
RECAP
Municipal Council as well as planning area population is growing rapidly due to mass
influx of regional population in town. The town provides all kinds of regional level facilities
and services to its dependent hinterlands. This town doesn’t have any satellite towns in its
vicinity of planning area. Therefore, majority of houses and population concentration is in
main town area. It is imperative, to decongest the central town core area with acceptable
density as per norms of hill town.

HOUSING
7.1
SHELTER – THE EXISTING SITUATION
Residential land constitutes a greater share in the land use plan than single other uses. Being
a vital aspect of urban residential land use has increased from 21.50 Hect. in 1987 to 37.04
Hect. in 2001-04. Every commanding sites
within planning area is already developed
for residential houses. Major developed
residential areas are namely; Central Town
area, Lahasa and Khopri towards Nogli and
Pat-Bunglow, Pipty and Khaneri towards
Jhakri, along the left bank of river Satluj.
Kullu district area, which are excluded now,
along right bank of Sutlej River namely;
Brow, Jagatkhana and Chatti are also fast
developing as residential hub dependent on
Rampur town. These localities on the right
bank of river are easily accessible by means of road and enjoys a good linkage of other
related facilities, services and communication network with the main central town. At
present planning area has 2,877 households as per Census 2011, of which 1,507 households
are in M.C. area.
Town & Country Planning Deptt. has surveyed about 3583 housing structures in the year
2002-03, which includes the building of excluded Kullu area as well. From total surveyed
structures, about 2.34% (84) building are under public and semi-public use and 11.94%
(427) units are used for commercial activities. About 3070 dwelling units in Rampur and
Kullu Area together are used for residential purposes. As per survey, the average family size
is 4 persons and tenant to owner ratio is 4:1.
7.2
SECTOR WISE NUMBER OF EXISTING STRUCTURES IN URBANISED AREA
The central Town area is the
densely packed mixed kind of
residential
and
commercial
buildings, which, as per survey
constitutes 16.85% of the total
structures in the urban area. Pipty-
Khaneri sector has accommodated
about
2038
buildings,
which
accounts for 70.37% of total
structures.
High
percentage
structures in this area indicates
that the area has long stretch of
dispersed localities within 3.5 kms
stretch along the N.H.-5. Besides, urbanisable area extends up to Dhakolar, a newly
developed residential sector in the planning area. Total number of surveyed buildings is
given in table 7.1.

Dwelling units are considered number of habitable set in particular building. Major
dwelling units and commercial shops are concentrated in central part of Town. In
quantitative terms high percentage of habitable units are in Pipty-Khaneri area, which
constitutes 70.37% of the total
dwelling units and followed
by
16.85%
in
Central
Town area. As per analysis,
the occupancy rate of the
housing is 4 but this is a gross

7.2.2 Number of Building Storeys in Urban Area
Number of building storeys in Rampur Planning area is ensured accordance to zoning
regulation and norms, standards for different uses i.e. residential, commercial and industry
etc in earlier Development Plan in view of plot size. As per T.C.P. Deptt. Survey, 2002-03 it
reveals that, Ground+2 and Ground+3 structures are higher than others, which account for
45% and 23% respectively. While Ground+1 and Ground+4 is 7% and 5% of the total
structure in urbanized area. The figure no. 16 is given below.

ARCHITECTURAL BUILDINGS IN RAMPUR BUSHAHR
The buildings in Rampur planning area are ancient, which erected since 1668 AD in
architectural and modern neo-style. Most of hill architectural buildings, particularly
Bushahry style are in Shish Mahal area. A few of them are dilapidated condition except
Padam Palace a masterpiece of town, was made in 1919 AD. At present most of these
ancient buildings except Padam Palace is used for the Government Offices and staff
quarters like Sub-Divisional Office, Teshil Record room, Police Station, Fire Station and
Post and Telegraph Office etc. Varied hill architectural designed structures are given below.

FACILITIES AND UTILITIES
A requirement of decent house is prime desire of people, while consideration of each related
parameters i.e. legal, environment, socio-economic and proper planning, sub-division of
land is ignored and violated the TCP Act, 1977. Therefore, proper facilities and utilities like
sewerage line, water connections, electricity supply and waste disposal system doesn’t
match with 20 years before planned and regulated Development Plan’s schemes,
implemented plan by way of Land Acquisition and Reconstitution Mechanism, which is still
not exhausted. Bottlenecks and loophole of previous Development Plan is sorted out in this
Plan and future planning strategies are made in accordance to present trends of societal
changes and economic development. Most of the residential houses in Planning Area have
only septic tanks and are not connected with sewerage lines. Town’s sewerage line is
concentrated in and around the central parts of Town and a few parts of Khaneri Area.
7.5
PLACING OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSES ON HILL SLOPE
In blind race for housing, most of housing constructions has come up on hill slopes in
varied vogue as per convenience to developers, without consideration of ambit environs,
geological strata and suitable space. Besides, exploitation of natural resources is under
cutting, eroding and fillings in unaesthetic and insensitive way i.e. stepped; pile foundation

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS PLACED ALONG THE SATLUJ RIVER
It is prime concern that residential development has come up
along the both banks of river in the mixed form i.e. residential
and commercial. Even geologically, the strata of riverbanks
are inadequate with solid rocks and substantial carrying
capacity. Pace of blind race for housing constructions is
prevented in absence of landscaping, hill architectural
landscaping, structural stability and proper layout of sites is
being insensitively underway. There is lack of any Riverfront
Development in view of scientific assistance and proper River
Front Management planning. It is imperative that, either there
should be provision of RFMP or Construction should not
allow close to the riverbanks. Which is prime concern and
prone to natural calamities in unusual monsoon.
7.7
ATTACH FACILITIES AND UTILITIES
Sewerage line, water connections, electricity and waste disposal are not in planned fashion,
drains are open along the house. Residential houses have septic tanks and sewerage line
still underway in the central town area with a provision of Treatment Plant. As per building
condition is concerned 68.40% of structures are old and followed by 31.6% new. Before,
1987 erected building is considered as old category and after that is in new category, which
constitutes 68.04% old and 31.6% new respectively. Majority of structures have equipped
by G.I. sheets and followed by RCC slab, while traditional roof style is rare. Only Bushahr
legendary times houses have equipped with sleet and wooden beams.

7.8
CRITICAL HOUSING SCENARIO
Rampur is witnessing exodus of haphazard and unplanned residential development with the
growing materialism and consumerism on one hand and hike in land prices and construction
costs on the other. Even the environmental norms and guidelines too are grossly neglecting.
Rampant encroachment of vital virgin lands, green cover and steep slopes are endangering
inhabitants. A house is a vital element of built environment and most of human pursuits of
family and society are performed inside the house, thus it has to be viewed as a planned,
functional, secure and aesthetic entity. Due to paucity of developable land an unprecedented
haphazard and unauthorized housing on irregular and zig-zag plots has become a major
concerns of the town today.
I
Illegal sub-divisions of land parcels have added fuel to the fire and thereby leading to
creation of slums. In addition, the growing presence of unplanned mix of residential house
without considering any class i.e. HIG, MIG, LIG and EWS, is a prime concern. Proper
circulation and allocation of space for each category of housing is a big challenge in
Rampur town. The paucity of suitable developable land is a major reson for unplanned and
haphazard development of the town.
7.9
RECAP
Congestion and overcrowding of residential zones is causing unplanned and haphazard
growth. Major concern is the growing imbalance between housing demand and supply. On
one hand the housing supply is facing an acute shortage while demand is skyrocketing on
the onter. Also, the paucity of developable land, high construction costs, high rural-urban
migration influx are adding the the town woes. This whole scenarios is resulting into an
insensitive and unethical mass destruction of natural resources in eco-sensitve and fragile
area in and around town.

CHAPTER – 8
TRADE AND COMMERCE
8.1
GLIMPSES OF TRADE & COMMERCE
The legendry of Bushahr and ancient
monuments reveals that, town was earlier
known as a trade and confluence place to
Indian and Tibet traders. The 16th century
trade articles are yet used for the trading
activities in Bushahr valley. By virtue of its
location on the NH-5, a traditional route was
popularly as ‘Pashmina’ road, it flourished
as trade center of Pashm wool, dry fruits,

horses and day to day needs in Himalayan region. Historic ‘Lavi Fair’ and ‘Fag Fair’
popularly known trade related festivals. A famous trade and peace agreement known as
‘Namgiya Pact’ signed between Raja Kehar Singh and his Chinese counterpart.
8.2

ANTICIPATION
It has been observed that, Rampur Town is effectively serving to its local population as well
as neighboring Districts i.e. Kinnaur, Spiti and west part of Kullu District, by virtue of
strategic location. Town is well connected with Air and Roads facility. Yet town has
inadequate with wholesale and warehouse facilities in the vicinity of planning area, which is
prerequisite for effective servicing. In order to fulfill requirements the Development Plan
2021 has been envisaged anticipated requirements as per public aspirations and local
stakeholders.
8.7
RECAP
Congestion in market area for circulation is main concerns. There is 2.5 m wide street,
which is inconvenient to shoppers and pedestrian movements. It is imperative that, future
market development is to be properly planed with adequate circulation space and parking
facilities. The commercial activities have come up here and there in every nook and corner
of town. Haphazard commercial pursuits, an encroachment on the roads intrusion and
collision thereof with other activities is playing havoc. Planned and regulated development
of commercial pursuits along with their proper location and spatial manifestation including
requisite provision of parking, walkways is essential for sustainable development of town.

AVAILABILITY OF ESSENTIAL AMENITIES
Of which 10% of schools have equipped with the modern amenities i.e. Computer, Lab and
Library. Those away from main centre of town are inadequate with such facilities.
Generally these are Government Primary and Middle schools. No any schools have hostel
facility. Playgrounds and other facilities are inadequate due to paucity of urban serviced
land.

As per infrastructure is concerned
60% schools are newly built
structure, while 40% of schools
are in fair condition. Majority of
schools are made by RCC and
covered by GI sheets.
11.4
HEALTH FACILITIES
There is a well equipped hospital at
distance of 5 km. from main town
placed at Khaneri in a panoramic view
area on commanding site. This caters
to the regional level for far off tribal
areas i.e. Spiti and Kinnaur District.
The Five storey hospital is equipped
with 200 beds and per day patient
arrival is 316. In all about 29 doctors
are available in hospital including a
few specialists as well. On an average,
bed occupancy ratio is one bed by two patients and one doctor caters to ten patients.
Besides, there are four numbers of private practitioners/clinics functioning in Town.
11.5
BANKS
In pace of growing commercial activities town has all type of Nationalized Banks for
various financial transactions and these banks also cater to hinterland as well as regional
businessmen, housing loan, education and other business related matters.
11.6
OTHER ESSENTIAL FACILITIES
Town has well equipped modern fire fighting station, police force, Post, Telegraph and
Communication facilities. Most of the Govt., Semi Govt. offices and educational institutions
do not have fully equipped basic amenities in terms of sewerage connection, garbage
disposal site and canteen etc. Even schools are lacking by hostel facilities, which is prime

concern of today. Parking is major issue in town, no single office has parking, private and
public vehicles are parked on roadsides, causing nuisance to free movement of traffic. No
offices have any canteen facility. Therefore, development plan has been envisaged
anticipated requirements in the year 2021 in order to comprehensive socio- economic
development in the planning area as well as regional level.
11.7
RECAP
In order to cater for requirements and smooth development of the town, facilities like
schools, primary health centre and professional training centre as Poly Technique etc. are
urgently required for mass influx of rural migration in to town. Existing facilities and
services are compatible to cater planning area population as well as regional level. In order
to fulfill requirements i.e. facilities utilities and services, space for these proposals have
been proposed on private as well as Government land through ‘Land Pooling Mechanism’.

CHAPTER -12
GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND INSTITUTIONS
Rampur town has developed on Ambala-Kaurik, National Highway–5. It was cherished as
Sub Divisional Headquarter after reorganization of Shimla District in 1972. Therefore,
various Government offices have come
up for various developmental activities.
At present, 55 Govt. and Semi Govt.
Offices has been surveyed by the Town
& Country Planning Deptt., of which
20 offices are in private sector and
functioning in private rental buildings.
Town's landmark masterpiece houses of
Police, Fire and Telegraph Office in
heart of Town.
12.1
SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF OFFICES
Out of total 660.00 Hect. Planning area, around 402.77 (61.02%) Hect. land area has been
earmarked as urbanisable area in the left bank of Satluj river on the National Highway-5.
Offices are spatially distributed and
scattered within the 10 km stretch from
Khaneri in north to Nirmand Bridge in
South. Use of urban land is in mixed
manner
i.e.
residential,
commercial,
Facility and Services uses. Majority of
office complexes with spatial distribution
are as below in table Combined Office

As per survey, highest numbers of Government and Semi Govt. offices are located in central
part of town or in combined office
complex,
which
accounts
for
36.36% and followed by 21.82%
offices in Shish Mahal locality,
adjoining area of the Padam Palace
i.e. Sub-Divisional office and other
Revenue offices. Majority of these
offices are on rental basis in
private houses. Besides, 18.18%
offices are in Pat-Bunglow and
Kalyanpur locality followed by
14.56% in Khopri locality.
About 9.09% offices are housed on
right bank of Satluj River Jagatkhana
and Bro, which comes under the jurisdiction of Kullu District and part of urban area.
12.2
NUMBER OF GOVT. EMPLOYEES
As per survey, about 700 employees are engaged in various Government and Semi Govt.
offices. Majority of employees are residing in central town as well as Shish Mahal area on
rental basis and out of the town area i.e. from hinterland. On an average about 12 employees
are serving in each office.
12.3
NUMBER OF STOREYS IN GOVERNMENT OFFICE BUILDING
Majority of Government offices
are housed in Ground floor,
which accounts for 54.54%
followed by 23.64% are in

architecture as per envisaged in the Development Plan.
12.5
AVAILABILITY OF PARKING
About 90% Government office doesn't have well equipped parking facility and 10% offices
have such facilities for vehicles. Majority of Government vehicles are parked on road side
due to scarcity of serviced land as well as garage. Dispersed Government and Semi-
Government in each nock and corner is prime concern of today, because of inadequate
availability of space and sub division land in the vicinity of planning area.
12.6
OTHER ESSENTIAL AMENITIES
Most of the Government offices are newly constituted with well RCC framed structures but
availability of canteen and sufficient quantum of water supply is inadequate as per URDPFI
Guidelines norms. Besides, technological facilities like computers are inadequate, while
demand of such facilities is very high in each Govt. office. Only a few Govt. offices are
equipped with this facility like Forest Deptt. and PWD office.
12.7
RECAP
Due to scarcity of serviced land, Govt. Office buildings are located everywhere in urban
area. Majority of offices are in main town area. Physical constraints dictate the spatial
distribution of Govt. office buildings setup. Anticipated Office buildings shall be made in
Dhakolar area. Majority of sectors in urban area has been saturated in view of massive
upcoming of built structures. Existing critical appraisal of parameters reveals that, town's
carrying capacity is incompatible to take mounting pressure. Therefore, future requirements
of Government and Semi-Government office shall be made in proper landscaping and
consonance with its environs.

CHAPTER –13
BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE
13.1
WATER SUPPLY
Baulies and springs were main source of potable water to Rampur Bushahr. The oldest
Baouly of town is situated at the bank of Satluj
River. With the passage of time, Baoulies are
insufficient to cater town’s increasing population
as well as urbanization process. In order to fulfill
growing water demand, Deptt. of I&PH has
augmented water sources through W.S.S scheme
in phased manner, i.e. in Phase I, water is lifted
from the Nogli Khad and Rajpura, situated at
south of planning area, caters to central town and
Khopri- Lahasa localities. Phase II, Baruni
Nallah, situated in the north of planning area
caters to Khaneri, Chuhabag, Pat Bunglow and Kalyanpur localities.
5278
jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
13.2
WATER SOURCES
Two major sources, Nogli Khad-Rajpura and Bharoni Nallah, which contributes 3.95 and
4.21 lac liter respectively. These sources are situated in the vicinity of planning area in the
direction of north Bharoni
Nallah and in south Nogli-
Rajpura Khad. After treatment
through rough filtration and
sedimentation
from
Nogli
khad, water storage tank is
located
at
Shish
Mahal
locality with a capacity of
1,30,000 gallon over head
tank, which caters to M.C.
area as well as its surrounding
localities. Similarly, second
water storage tank with a
capacity of 8,50,000 gallon is located at Sarla Prog area, which caters to northern part of
urban locality i.e. Khaneri to Pat-Banglow. Average water intake from the sources is about
5.5 lacs litter per day. Water supply to residents is about 52 liters per head in overall context
without separating the different sector requirements i.e. residential, commercial and
industry. But normal water supply availability should be 135 lpcd as per URDPFI
Guidelines norms. Besides, under Rehabilitation & Resettlement scheme, the SJVN has
augmented water for Project affected persons in order to fulfill their demand of potable
water in planning area.
13.3
SEWERAGE
Restoration work of sewerage system is underway, which was washed away by floods in
2000. Two treatment plants with capacity of 1.0 mld and 0.5 mld are located at Khopri
along the bank of River Satluj. In this system, out of 1500 residents about 1200 residents are
connected with the facility and other are in
pipeline. Majority of households have septic
tank. Open Drains flowing along the residential
buildings and outfalls of drain waste is directly
into the river. Open drains, the installed
sewerage line & Treatment Plant area causing
health and environment hazard to the town
residents. Only town centre is connected with
sewerage lines and same for surrounding
localities shall be installed in phase manner.
No more direct waste disposal shall be allowed
into the river by which, water can be polluted
and contaminated. Proper planning of basic facilities is to be envisaged in Development
Plan for sustainable development of town in view of hill town norms.
13.4
SOLID WASTE
The waste generation is directly depending over the
socio-economic status of the town. Earlier, Rampur
town is known for confluence place of trade and
commerce for other district and to states. In this view,
business activities are much more as compared to
other towns and generation of waste is too high. On

an average generation in M.C. area is 1.5 ton at rate of per person generation 0.25 kg per
day as per URDPFI Guidelines. Majority of bins are placed in M.C area, which is about 30
bins placed along the street roads. A few dumpers are
placed in town as well as along the N.H.-5. Wastes are
disposed of through a tipper vehicle up to dumping
site. Average waste generation in urbanized area as
well as planning area is about 4 ton per day. Majority
of dumpers posing inconvenience to pedestrian traffic
and vehicular traffic movement dumpers are placed
along the roads and delay in disposal of waste creates
nuisances to residents and causing health hazard. Lack
of proper site for waste disposal is prime concerns. A site for waste is envisaged beyond
Mahatma Gandhi Hospital at Khaneri near Bhatrash nallah.
13.5
ELECTRICITY
Town has the oldest Hydro-electricity power station on Nogli Khud in south of planning
area, which was erected in 1952 with a capacity of 2.15 megawatt. In addition, electricity
supply comes from Dehar powerhouse. At present town is equipped with the various
capacity transformers, located at different place as requirement of planning area. The
following capacity wise transformers are given in Table 13.1 below.

Industry is 0.43% and 0.74% respectively. Figure 47 gives percentage wise availability of
connections.
13.6
RECAP
This Development Plan has been envisaged to proper designed and layout of the basic
facilities and amenities to town in view of projected population size. On one hand, there is
acute shortage of serviced land, on other hand mounting pressure over civic amenities.
Future requirements of these are proliferating due to mass influx of rural population in town
for want of livelihood and better life standard; a blind race for housing construction is in
high demand for various uses, without landscaping and accessibility or technical assistance.
____________
CHAPTER-14
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
The town is developed in organic as well as linear pattern along the National Highway–5 on
8.5 km. stretch from Khaneri to Dhakolar on a river terrace. The total land under this use
was 10.0 Hect. in 1987 and it has been increased 42.0 Hect. (44.6%) of the total land use,
which reveals that demand is quite high in
planning area. It is well connected with the
major National and State High ways from
the Kaurik-Kinnaur, Kalka- Chandigarh,
Nirmand-Kullu,
Mandi-Karsog.
Major
Town's traffic is carried through the National
Highway-5, which passes through the main
town and caters to all kinds of mechanized
modes. Besides, all SJVN and other Hydro
Electric project in Kinnaur District, vehicles
pass through same road. Traffic is increasing
at much faster rate and haphazard manner in
town day by day.
14.1
ARTERIES AND THEIR CHARACTERIZES FEATURES
National Highway-5 is main lifeline of town; it
caters as arteries as well as sub arteries. Major
Planning area roads are namely; Gaura road,
Shingla Rampur and Bro- Jagatkhana road.
These roads are connected to the entire upper
rural areas with the main town. Even main
town's passage or path is directly link with
National Highway –5 or convenient roads/paths
are connected with each locality. Even gamut of
roads widening is inadequate within the
urbanized area due to haphazard development of
mixed structures i.e. residential and commercial.
NH-5, which facilitates communication of men
and materials between the various growth
centres as well as rural centres.

14.2
TRAFFIC SCENARIO
Management of town traffic is prime concerns of today. There is inadequate provision of
bye-passes, mixed kinds of vehicular traffic is plying i.e. public, private, Para transit and
pedestrians as well as office goers during morning and evening time. In this view,
congestion and overcrowd has increased manifold. Majority of accidents are occurring in
the main town area due to mass movement of traffic in peak hours. The Peak hour Traffic
Volume survey conducted during December, 2012 revealed that, about 220 heavy vehicles,
528 light motor vehicles, 403 three wheelers and 170 two wheelers are plying to different
destination in peak hours. i.e. 8 AM to 10 AM & 4 PM to 6 PM. Besides 3500 pedestrians
daily visit various places i.e. offices, schools and work places. In addition, about 236 private
and Govt. light vehicles are parked on the both side of road, while carriageway is under
pressure with heavy traffic. Vehicles movement is not smooth. Daily jam is common. The
traffic volume is increasing and the consequent traffic problem aggravated due to
administrative Sub. Division H.Q. Signs of sever traffic strain are already visible in the
existing Bus stand, Taxi stand and other major functional areas. At present 95 private as
well as Govt. Buses are plying under the Rampur HRTC.
Figure 49: Passenger Car Unit (PCU)1
14.3
TERMINAL AND PARKING FACILITIES
Town has two bus terminals; one the old Bus terminal
has capacity of ten Bus bays and is situated in the north
of town nearby the Buddhist Gompha. The numbers of
incoming and outgoing buses are much more as against
capacity of old bus terminal. Present location of old bus
stand is unsuitable; distance from the residential area is
150 m as against 0.5km as per URDPFI Guidelines
norms. Majority of Buses are parked on the road and
outside the terminal are unsafe, inconvenient and are
mostly in haphazard manner. As parking is concerned, town doesn’t have substantial
community as well
as individual car parking, due to inadequate availability
of serviced land.
New bus terminal was built at Pat-Bangalow, at a
distance of 1.0 km from old terminal. It has capacity of
11 bus bays and also night/idle parking facility for 100
buses. New bus terminal serves various destinations
within and outside the state. Besides, space for 100 cars
is identified at Indra Market area, which shall be
multistoried up to Highway level. Truck terminal as

well as Transport Naggar including workshops shall be identified at Khopri area below the
Highway, about 50 mtrs away from the highest flood level. Majority of truck too are parked
on roadside near Indra market area causing inconvenience to smooth traffic movement.
14.4
HOUSEHOLDS TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS
Over all per capita trips rate is observed in terms of all mechanized modes. Nearly 70% of
the trips are performed on foot. Average trips length is 0.5 to one km. Besides, 63% of trips
are for work, which consists of education, and other purposes and accounts for 27% and
10% share respectively. Of the total trips by mechanized modes are created by public
transport while the rest is by personal vehicles.
14.5
PUBLIC TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS
Morphology of town plays vital role in transportation and land use development. Major
roads in town are developed according to local topography; settlements are come up along
the roads in unplanned and insensitive manner in the 8.5 km stretch. Public transport
services are quite substantial as well as private and Para transports. Besides, private vehicles
per person are quite high as compared to other towns.
14.6
BOTTLENECK
A stretch of 0.5 km. is major bottleneck concerns in main town area. Most of the loading
and unloading functions are being performed amidst the NH-5 in town area. Besides,
Chuhabag area is facing acute bottleneck, due to nonconformity workshops here and there
on the roadside. In this view, proper widening of road is to be required to reduce the
existing bottlenecks.
14.7
RECAP
Provision to shifting of NH-5 has been made in Development Plan from main town to right
bank of the river i.e. Brow-Jagatkhana side. Major Highway traffic shall ply through the
bypass road; simultaneously pressure will reduce in town area as well as pollution level.
Preserving of heritage monuments are prime concerns with traffic, transportation and land
use planning. A smooth, systematic transportation and Landuse planning is required and
also envisaged in Development Plan 2021.
___________
CHAPTER- 15
EXISTING LAND USE
Historically, an area of around 1469.00
hectares was freeze under the Rampur
Planning Area in 1987. Of which just
357.57 hectare area was earmarked for
the various uses in the urbanisable area.
Presently, about 94.11 Hect. area is
consumed under various urban land uses.
As per this Revised Development Plan
(RDP), urbanisable area has been
increased from 357.57 to 402.77 hectare,
which accounts for 61.03% of the total
planning area. About 38.97% area is
beyond the urbanisable limit, which is
occupied by the rural settlements, that is about 32 villages and agriculture fields etc. The
distribution of planning area under major land uses is given in Fig 53.
Figure 52: Existing Planning Area
5283
jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
In order to have planned and regulated growth of town, the Govt. of Himachal Pradesh has
extended the H.P. Town & Country Planning Act (1977) to Rampur planning area and froze
the existing Landuse vide Notification No.HIM/TP-RPB-DP/87-11628-777 dated
31.03.1987, which was published in official gazette on dated 23.05.87. The sector wise
existing land use under the various uses is detailed in the following pages.
15.1
RESIDENTIAL USE
The residential use comprises of 37.04 Hect. area, which accounts for 39.36% of the total
urbanisable planning area of 94.11 Hect. Till now about 3100 residential units have come up
in the urban area. Majority of houses are Ground+3 and Ground+4 respectively with mixed
nature of residential-cum-commercial. Residential localities are scattered in every sector in
the urban area namely; main bazaar town area, Pat-Bunglow, Khaneri and Dhakolar.
Majority of houses are made up of RCC frame structure as against local materials i.e. wood
and stones. New residential area, Dhakolar, has been included in urban area, which
comprises of an area of 25.75 % of the total urbanized area.
15.2
COMMERCIAL USE
Commercial establishments are concentrated in central town area within walkable distance
of just 0.5 km. There are about 144 shops of the M.C, of which 35 shops are situated at
Indra market area. Besides, convenient shops are existing in each and every locality of
urban area from Khaneri to Dhakolar on the left bank of the river as well as right bank, Bro
and Jagatkhana localities. In addition to this, hotel, restaurants, banks and guesthouses are
also included in commercial. In this wake, total area under commercial use has been worked
around 6.29 hectares, which accounts for 6.68% of total urban area.
15.3
INDUSTRIAL USE
Physical constraints have restricted development of the large scale industries in Rampur
planning area. However, small scale industries including service industries have come up
i.e. Steel Fabrication, Foot Wear, Printing Press, Auto Repairing & Spare Parts. Besides
Handloom and Handicraft industries also exist in town. The industrial use, thus occupies an
area of about 0.48 hectare, which constitute just 0.51% of the total planning area.
15.4
GOVT. AND SEMI-GOVT AND FACILITY AND SERVICES USE
An area of about 5.98 hectares is under this use. It accommodates all Govt. Offices,
institutions like schools, hospital, post office, ITI, water works, sewerage, sanitation, solid
waste disposal site, electricity networks and telephone exchange area. It accounts for 6.35%
of the total urban area.
15.5
PARKS AND OPEN SPACES USE
There are two only organized park and open spaces i.e. Padam Palace lawn and College
ground. An area of 0.81 hectare is under this use, which accounts for 0.86% of total urban
planning area. Other sectors don’t have sufficient number of open space and organized
parks to serve active and passive recreational needs of town residents as well as visitors.
15.6
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION USE
The major roads include National Highway-5, and State Highways emanating from the
town, local and sectoral roads as well as bye-passes and lanes interlinking various localities
and villages. Besides, Bus Terminal, workshops, parking lots have an area of 42.00 hectare,
which accounts for 44.63% of total urban area.

AGRICULTURE/FOREST AND BARREN LANDUSE
Agriculture, forest and barren land occupies 244.55 hectare area, which works out to be
60.72% of the total urbanisable planning area of 402.77 Hect. In addition, sliding sinking
and steep slopes are included in this use.
15.8
WATER BODIES
Area under this use includes, Satluj River, Nallah and Khads is 54.00 hectare, which is

area, which consists of Rampur Municipal Council area, urbanisable rural areas as well as
regional area of the importance of the town. It envisages for the requirements of population
of planning area, dependent regional population and tourists during the peak season.
Therefore, proposals have been finalized in view of community aspirations, effective role of
local bodes, guidelines and series of deliberation with professional experts of different
fields, following participatory approach of both private and public sectors. The
Development Plan is contemplated as document of common man, a document of the
public/community and that of local bodies, authorities and Govt. Departments. Allocation of
Developable land for different uses to meet with the requirement for the next 7 years, i.e. by
the year 2021 is made and proposed land use structure devised accordingly. The various
land uses have been proposed keeping in view the availability of developable land in each
sector, holding capacity in terms of population and activities.
17.1
REGIONAL CONTEXT
Rampur apart from seat of Sub-Divisional level administration function is a multifaceted
settlement. It serves population of outer Seraj of Kullu District. Whole of the Spitti of
Lahoul & Spitti Disrtict, District Kinnaur, Sainj and whole of the Rampur Tehsil of Shimla
District as well as part of Karsog of Mandi District with respective to trade and commerce
activities as well as services functions including health and education. It is also a base
station for destination in the hinterland namely, Sarahan, Shri Khand, Kullu Nirmand and
Jalori pass. The Development Plan thus has been devised giving due consideration to the
regional importance of the town
17.2
POPULATION PROJECTION
The population of the Planning area has grown at an average growth rate of 40.45% during
the decade 1991-2001 and at 19.79% during 2001-2011 decade. It is observed that
population growth trend in Rampur town is governed by various local factors especially the
flood hazard etc. It is anticipated that a higher growth trend going to continue for long on
account of new potential growth areas around the town and quality infrastructure and
5288
jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
availability of serviced land within the urban limit. The future projections have been worked
out at an average growth rate of 30.0% during period 2011 to 2021, which shall increase

17.3
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
Ribbon development is coming up all along the National Highway-5. The entire urban area
is divided in to 4 sectors from Khaneri in north to Dhakolar in the South of the planning
area. The proposals have been prepared with due consideration to the various limitations
like topography, problems involved in acquisition of land from private owners and right of
people to develop land according to their own requirements. The forest area, area under
water bodies and un-developable areas are kept as such. Majority of the proposed land for
various activities, availability has to be ensured from the private agricultural land holding. It
has been considered in wake of acute shortage of Government land in order to meet present
and future requirements. The following proposals have been detailed out as per
requirements of anticipated population.
17.4
ALLOCATION OF LAND USES
17.4.1 Residential Use
An area of 92.23 hectares has been proposed for residential use in the four sectors, of which
centre town sector i.e. Sector-1 has become saturated and no further new construction shall
be allowed except reconstruction on old line and in other sectors development shall be
accommodated as per availability of developable land. As area of convenient shopping,
nursery schools, sub-post offices, electric sub-stations and local parks cannot be detailed out
in Development Plan, their space requirements are included in predominant use i.e.
residential area and may detailed out in the sector plans to be prepared subsequently.
17.4.2 Commercial Use
For development of commercial establishments 2.69 hectare has been allocated for
anticipated shops. No more commercial activities shall be allowed in main town area.
Proposed shops shall be in the proposed residential areas as convenience to availability of
space as per assumed area of 50 sqm. In addition, space for wholesale and warehousing has
been allocated at khopri with an area of 1.0 hectare area. The total area under commercial
use shall be 8.98 hectares by 2021.

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 29 vxLr] 2017@7 Hkknzin] 1939
17.4.5 Parks and Open Spaces
The space occupied by various organized parks and open spaces is inadequate as compared
to other towns. Due to paucity of developable land in the planning area, an area of just 0.81
hectare exists against an anticipated requirement of 14.94 hectares as per needs of different
sector by the year 2021. Therefore, an additional area requirement for this use shall be 14.13

proposed infrastructures are to be on both Government land as well as on private lands.
Therefore, public involvement has to be ensured by adopting participatory approach in
planning to accomplish various proposals for Rampur Planning Area. Joint efforts needs to
be initiated by the concerned Departments like Town & Country Planning Department,
Urban Development, Development Authority and other Local Bodies to implement the plan
in an effective and timely manner.
