Mysuru civic body to use women SHGs to collect property tax
MYSURU : Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is set to use the services of women self-help groups (SHGs) to collect property tax and water dues from defaulters. Among the 20 women SHGs that applied for the job, the civic body has finalised eight groups. MCC has provided the necessary training to them and will soon give permission to these groups to start collecting taxes. Only women self-help groups registered under the DAY-NULM (Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission) scheme, who have digital literacy, computer knowledge, education and qualifications, were selected and trained. MCC will give a 5 percent commission of the amount collected from property tax and water cess payers to the SHGs. The women will not only visit door-to-door for the collection of the water and property cess but also help them in pay via both online and offline after calculating the amount. Among the 8 SHGs that were finalised in all the 65 ward limits, five of them will collect property tax and the rest the water cess. The following were the 5 SHGs selected for the collection of property tax: Chamundeshwari Women SHG, Alanahalli; Daneshwari Women SHG, Vidyaranyapuram; Sharathy of Saraswathipuram; Angalaparameshwari of Janatha Colony; and Arora Women SHG of Agrahara. Meanwhile, Spoorthy Women SHG of Azeezsait Nagar, Mallige of Kuvempu Nagar and Sanjeevini Women SHG of Rajiv Nagar were entrusted with the responsibility of collecting water cess. MCC also selected another six women self-help groups in the city for maintaining parks after cancelling the contract system of awarding contracts to contractors and agencies for its maintenance. They are Annapoorneshwari, Lakshmi Saraswathi, Sammathi, Ya Abeeb, Gulshan and Noor-like women self-help group organisation members of the city. MCC will pay Rs 2 to 10 lakh for the maintenance of parks for each organisation. Speaking to TOI, MCC deputy commissioner (revenue) Somashekhar Jigani said MCC has roped in the services of women self-groups to achieve 100 percent tax collection, as property tax and water cess are the two major sources of its revenue. This initiative also helps SHGs to earn revenue, he said.

PCMC launches initiative to promote inclusive urban development as part of City Livelihood Action Plan
The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on Wednesday launched an ambitious initiative to empower weaker sections and promote inclusive urban development as part of the City Livelihood Action Plan (C-LAP), officials said. Under this initiative, a two-day series of focused group discussions with key stakeholders including government officials, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), private sector representatives and academic institutions has already commenced on Wednesday, May 21, officials said. These discussions will guide the preparation of the C-LAP, which is being developed under the Government of India's Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM). The C-LAP will address city-specific livelihood needs and help chart a roadmap for skills' development, self-employment, and socio-economic resilience for vulnerable communities, they said. Shekhar Singh, municipal commissioner, PCMC, said that this initiative is a crucial step toward inclusive and sustainable urban growth. 'The C-LAP will help create a skilled and resilient workforce, enable dignified livelihoods, and ensure that no section of society is left behind. The learnings and outcomes will also be shared with the state government,' he said. According to officials, a comprehensive sample survey will be conducted from May 26 to May 31 across the city to ensure that the plan remains rooted in ground realities. This survey will capture demographic, economic, and occupational data—focusing on informal workers; slumdwellers; households run by women; persons with disabilities (PwDs); and the transgender community, they said. What is C-LAP? The City Livelihood Action Plan is being prepared under the central government's Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM). Recognising that livelihood needs vary from city to city, the C-LAP will take into account Pimpri-Chinchwad's unique socio-economic and geographic context. The plan will provide a roadmap for enhancing income-generating opportunities through policy interventions, entrepreneurship support, skilling programmes, and social protection measures. Box Institutional mechanism A City Livelihood Task Force (CLTF) has been constituted under the PCMC's leadership to drive the C-LAP's formulation and implementation. This task force comprises representatives from government agencies, NGOs, the private sector and academia. The CLTF will guide policymaking, coordinate funding, monitor progress, and ensure alignment between various schemes and implementing partners. Target beneficiaries Urban poor and residents of informal settlements Women and women-led households Persons with disabilities, senior citizens, transgender persons and migrant workers Informal workers such as construction labourers, domestic workers, drivers, and rickshaw pullers
