Mumbai: The Dharavi Redevelopment plan proposes easy access to essential public amenities such as education, healthcare, retail markets and open spaces within 5, 10 and 15-minute walking distances. Today a slum spread over 2.5 sq kms, the masterplan proposes that more than 80% of Dharavi will be within 5 minutes from a transit station, that more than 80% neighbourhoods will be within 5 minutes of a public open space, that more than 70% neighbourhoods will be within a five-minute walk to social amenities. In a presentation to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday, Dharavi Redevelopment Project CEO and chairman of Navbharat Mega Developers Pvt Ltd S V R Srinivas put forth a blueprint for a multi-modal transit hub with Metro Lines 3 and 11 passing through the area with strengthened pedestrian and vehicular connections from Dharavi to surrounding neighbourhoods. Five new transit points are to be created connecting T K Marg to the arterial 90-feet road by an underpass; a new road is to be developed connecting to S B Marg; the Dharavi Depot road will connect to Chunabhatti-BKC Link road; another connector will come up along the Western Railway line to Mahim Sion flyover; an underpass below the Harbour line near Mahim will connect to S B Marg; and another underpass to Sion.

According to Dharavi's 2016 Development Plan, there are 26 schools here which are run in temporary slum structures; only the Kamraj school in sector 3 is in a legal structure. "Students are crammed in small rooms with inadequate space and no playground facilities," states the report.
