EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Project Context

Himachal Pradesh is one of the leading hill States in India with a population of 68,64,602 persons

as per 2011 Census. There are 54 Urban Local Bodies and 59 census towns in the State. Apart from

these, there are 34 Planning Areas and 35 Special Areas notified under the provisions of the

Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1977.

In the wake of rapid urbanisation and economic growth, the Government of Himachal Pradesh

(GoHP) intends to regulate the development process in its urban settlements, to ensure that these

urban settlements continue to serve their purpose without causing inconveniences and difficulties to

the population, and the administration. To achieve the same, the Department of Town and Country

Planning has prepared this Development Plan.

the Planning Area by the year 2035, at the rate of 4.5 persons per family norm, nearly 3889 families

shall be residing in the planning area. Considering the present housing shortage of 311 dwelling

units, about 4200 dwelling units shall be required by the horizon period 2035. In view of present

trend of low residential density, at the rate of 75 persons per hectare, 104.83 hectares of additional

area is required to cater to the additional population of 7589. As 132.60 hectares area is existing,

therefore, the total developable area by 2035 would be 237.43 hectares including 2.37.hectares of

provision of convenient shopping, basic service infrastructure including water supply, sewerage

drainage, electric supply, road and other requisite facilities and services in view of creation of plots.

The owners may construct houses only for their own purpose without exhausting this process. The

housing areas are proposed to be developed by integrating future work areas and evolving

safeguards for forest areas. The proposed housing sectors/ clusters are proposed to be developed on

the neighbourhood principles of self-sufficiency by making provision of requisite infrastructure

therein. The concerned local body/Panchayat will be responsible for ensuring the implementation

of basic services and infrastructure at local level, by raising the resources through process of

undertaking remunerative schemes in the area on land to be got surrendered in its name during the

course of Land Pooling and Reconstitution mechanism. In case of bigger land parcels of vacant

land the same are to be developed by a development agency which has to play an effective role.

village along the NH-3 and about 10 hotels shall be required to cater to the tourist population by the

year 2035. The land required for plot @ 350-400 sq.m. area per hotel which includes parking and

circulation area works out to 1.67 hectares. Beside this, an area of 1.84 hectares is required for

Retail Shopping Centre at Jalari, Kuthar and Tillu Khas villages. Thus, total requirement works out

to 8.70 hectares. As existing area under commercial use is 6.88 hectares, therefore, total additional

requirement works out to 1.82 hectares.

4.03

Mixed Use

Mixed land use zone has been proposed at strategic location along the NH-3 and NH-303. It

accounts of an area of 2.41 hectares within the planning area.

scale or cottage industrial units are proposed in the industrial area viz., Handicraft industries, and

agro processing industries.

4.05

Transportation

An area of 21.83 hectares is under the existing transportation network. Town level, inter-sectoral,

sectoral and cluster roads are required to be developed in the Planning Area.

With increase in traffic it is envisaged that present NH-3 and NH-303 will not be able to

accommodate traffic hence, it is proposed to increase the width of the present NH-3 and NH-303

from present 10 m ROW to 15 m ROW.

As most of the traffic entering Nadaun is E to E i.e., External to External, two by-passes have been

proposed one parallel to NH-3 and NH-303 traversing from the right bank of Beas river and

entering Bela near Nadaun Fort and then entering Tillu Khas village before meeting NH-3 at Jalari

and the other connecting old NH-70 (new NH-3) and old NH-88 (new NH-3) via Bharmoti Kalan at

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 02 fnlEcj] 2017@11 ekxZ'kh"kZ] 1939

Jalari. The NH-303 and NH-3 by-passes have been proposed with an ROW of 24 m and the other

by-pass of 15 m ROW.

Three junction improvements have been suggested one at present junction of NH-3 and NH-303

near the Bus stand, another at the junction of NH-3 and proposed By-pass in Bharmoti Kalan and at

the junction of NH-3 with the two proposed by-passes at Jalari.

A truck terminal is proposed at the cross junction of the proposed by-pass and MDR-36in Jalari

hectares. The truck terminal has been strategically located in close vicinity of the proposed

Wholesale and Warehousing Centre (Mandi) located on the other side of the NH-3 in Jalari village

as the two activities are correlated and dependent on each other.

The present bus terminal is in the heart of the town in the main market. As per the traffic

projections it is envisaged that the present bus terminal will not be able to accommodate the future

traffic volume of vehicles/people. Hence, a new bus terminal is proposed along NH-3 in an area of

about 0.56 hectares in Nagarada village.

A part from these, new roads of 6m and 9m and widening of important roads have also been

proposed in the planning area

To cater to the town level parking requirement, parking lots and taxi stand have been proposed at

various locations amounting to an area of 1.0 ha. Local level parking requirements of each land use

zone have to be met locally.

4.06

check on encroachments, cleanliness of town, integration and systematic and planned marketing of

tourist destinations in surrounding areas, like Nadaun Fort and other heritage sites within the

developed at cluster/sector level. At the rate of standard of 1.00 hectares per 1000 population, 17.50

hectares land is required to cater for population of the Planning Area by the year 2035. As 7.27

hectares area is existing, therefore, 18.92 hectares area is required more. It is proposed to develop

the old Nadaun Fort area into a tourist spot-cum-recreational area with landscaped gardens with

fountains, and conducting light and sound show within it. About10 hectare land has also been

earmarked for proposed Botanical and Zoological Park in Tillu Khas village.

8375

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 02 fnlEcj] 2017@11 ekxZ'kh"kZ] 1939

4.09

Forest Areas

Nearly about 111.06 hectares of land falls under Demarcated Protected Forest use in Nadaun

Planning Area. This has been indicated in the existing land-use map as well as the proposed land-

Historical Setting

2.6.1 Pre-Independence

During the Medieval times, Nadaun was a part of the Princely State of Kangra. It was the

headquarters of the Nadaun Jagir in the Princely State of Kangra. Maharaja Sansar Chand II⁵ of

Kangra held his court during summer for a number of year during his reign⁶.

Raja Jodhbir Chand, son of Raja Sansar Chand II, was the first king of Nadaun. He was granted the

jagir of Nadaun in 1823.⁷ Nadaun soon emerged as a centre of arts and commerce.

Nadaun was a cheerful place, during the reign of Sansar Chand II. There was a saying in Kangra

hill that "Aaye Nadaun Jaaye Kaun" (who comes to Nadaun would never want to go back).⁸ Bulleh

Shah, a famous sufi poet, in his famous poem "Bulla Ki Janna mein Kaun", also mentions Nadaun

as "Na mein rehnda vich Nadaun" (nor do I live in Nadaun).⁴ Ghulam Mohiuddin also, writes in

Tarikh-i-Punjab that it is peaceful town with a good Rest House, an Old Palace and Shiva temple.⁵

However, the history of Nadaun dates back to the seventeen century, when the famous Battle of

Nadaun was fought. The Battle of Nadaun was fought on the banks of Beas River, between Raja

Bhim Chand of Kahlur (Bilaspur) and the Mughals under Alif Khan in the year 1691. The Mughal

emperor, Aurangzeb's expeditions in Deccan in the 1690s, had put considerable strain on the

Mughal exchequer. As a result, Aurangzeb issued orders to the Governor of Punjab, Azim Khan, to

recover annual tributes from the rulers of hill states, who had been defaulting on the payment for

three consecutive years.

Azim Khan assigned the duty of collecting tributes to Mian Khan, the viceroy of Jammu. The duty

of collecting tributes from Kangra and adjoining principalities was assigned to Alif Khan.⁹ The

Raja of Kangra and Raja Dayal of Bijarwal agreed to the demands of Alif Khan. However, Raja

Bhim Chand of Kahlur (Bilaspur) refused to oblige and formed an alliance with other chieftains

opposed to the Mughals.

As per the tenth Granth of Guru Granth Sahib (holy book of Sikhs), Guru Gobind Singh (the tenth

Sikh Guru) fought his second battle in Nadaun on 4th April 1691 and is described as ‘Nadaun

Jang’. The first battle was fought between Guru Gobind Singh and King of Bilaspur near Bhagani

Paonta Saheb. The second battle was fought by Guru Gobind Singh with Mughals on the invitation

of Raja Bhim Chand of Kahlur (Bilaspur). Guru Gobind Singh came to fight the battle along with a

group of 500 Sikhs with Mughals lead by Alif Khan.¹⁰

Mughals and his aides were defeated at a battle in Nadaun. After the battle ended, Guru Gobind

Singh stayed in Nadaun for eight days, before returning to Anandpur. Later, Maharaja Ranjit Singh

built a Gurudwara on the spot where the Guru had pitched his tent.⁷ The Gurudwara was built to

commemorate Guru Gobind Singh's victory in the Battle of Nadaun. The Gurudwara known as

Gurudwara Dasvin Patshahi or Gurudwara Nadaun Sahib,¹¹ is a prominent place of worship.

2.6.2 Post-Independence

Post-Independence, Nadaun was a part of Kangra District. As a result of trifurcation of Kangra

District as Kangra, Hamirpur and Una on September 1, 1972, Nadaun became a part of Hamirpur

District of the new State of Himachal Pradesh.

2.7

Evolution of Town

Nadaun town started to evolve in the vicinity of the Patshahi Gurudwara on the North West. When

Nadaun came under the jagir of Raja Jodhbir Chand, his palace was built on the north east near the

bank of the River Beas. A small settlement in Amtar began to evolve in close vicinity of the king’s

palace. However, the main city continued to grow on the north-western side primarily due to its

nearness with Kangra, the then State Capital and its location on the trade route.

Over the years, the Nadaun town is divided into the Old Town and the New Market Area. The Old

Town comprises of Old-Market Area (also called Pattan Bazaar) and Old-Bus Stand Area (also

called Jesri). The New Market Area comprises the New Bus-Stand and the Main-Market Area.

The old-market area used to be main center of shopping when the market shifted to what is

currently the main-market area. The main-market area is further divided into two parts- the upper

bazaar which is close to the Bus-stand and the main-bazaar. Main-Bazaar is in the heart of Nadaun

town and is the center of business in Nadaun. Pattan area has got a big play-ground which hosts

various cultural events like Ramlila and sometimes used for political and election rallies.

Nadaun is known for Lavneshwar Mahadev temple which is said to be have been founded by the

Pandavas. It is the birth place of famous freedom fighter Inderpal. A statue of the famous freedom

fighter has also been erected at the junction of the New Bus Stand and the junction is named after

him. The Patshahi Gurudwara was affiliated to Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee in

1935.

The town is also famous for the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Stadium where National level cricket

matches are organised. It is located at the North-eastern edge of Nadaun Planning Area in Bela

Gram Panchayat.

Geology and Soil Character

Nadaun belongs to the Middle Shiwalik Sub group. The Middle Shiwalik Sub-group comprises of

large thickness of coarse micaceous sandstone along with some interbeds of early clay. It normally

succeeds the Lower Siwalik along a gradational contact. The sandstone is less sorted than those in

Lower Siwalik. Clay bands are dull coloured and silty. The general thickness is 1400 to 2000

metres.

In the low-lying areas, along river beds newer alluvium of recent again is seen. The new alluvium

deposit comprises alluvium fans and terraces of unsorted sand, silt and clay and rock fragment and

boulder beds.¹⁵

The soil in general is brown and varies in texture from loamy sand to clay loam. This type of sandy

loam soil with coarse texture which enhances the nutrients and fluid movements that is very good

for plant growth and agriculture.¹⁶

At present, few items viz. building stone, sand, stone grit, etc. are being mined in the name of

mineral resources. In addition to it glass and silica sand pebbles are also found in the area of

Kunah, and Man khads but as yet no commercial exploitation of these minerals have been made.¹⁷

projection methods are as follows: -

 Arithmetic Increase

 Incremental Increase

 Compound Annual Growth Rate

 Geometric Increase

 Exponential Increase

8390

jkti=] fgekpy izns'k] 02 fnlEcj] 2017@11 ekxZ'kh"kZ] 1939

As the population projected by the arithmetic increase and incremental increase are very low and

that by geometric and exponential growth method are moderate. The projected population by

CAGR method being more appropriate to be adopted.

Hence, the projected population for Nadaun Planning Area for the year of 2035 is estimated to be

17,501 approximately at a growth rate of 2.3%.

3.4 Settlement Pattern

3.4.1 Proposed Settlement Hierarchy and Facilities for 2035

Settlement planning at the sub-regional level shall be linked with on-going development process in

the region and shall focus on integration with socio-economic development.

Hamirpur is a regional trade and educational centre, increasing trade and commercial activities with

potential for allied agro/forest based industries in the vicinity have strong bearing on its future

growth. Hence, Nadaun will also come under its influence, which will trigger the economic activity

and trade between the cities and region.

Balanced settlement development strategy is essential for envisaged economic growth of the region

and the planning area.

2035
