Dharavi Redevelopment Project to hold mega documentation camp for residents

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) will launch a two-week camp to collect eligibility documents across Dharavi to close all pending surveys and ensure every eligible family is included in the government’s redevelopment scheme. The initiative aims to ensure that no household is left behind.

DRP officials said the camp will be held from November 1-15.

“It is a major outreach initiative to verify and complete unprocessed or partially verified cases. All these households will be covered through focused engagement and documentation to convert them into completed status. We request all residents to proactively come forward and complete their survey documentation at our designated document collection centres,” a DRP official said.

“The DRP has started releasing the Draft Annexure-II, giving priority to residents who have already completed their household survey,” the official said, adding “those who are finishing their surveys now, or have just started, will be included in the next round of lists.”

According to latest survey data, more than one lakh residents have already completed their household surveys. The upcoming “mega documentation camp” is seen as a key push to include those households which may have been left out due to various reasons.

“This drive will be managed by DRP/GoM duly supported by NMDPL teams. Sector-wise offices will be set up under Deputy Collectors, Tehsildars, and Surveyors to handle document scrutiny and grievance resolution. NMDPL will deploy field surveyors supported by a central call centre that will inform residents about schedules and required paperwork. The documentation drive will be operational all seven days of the week from 10 am to 6 pm with a lunch break between 1 and 2 pm at the designated offices within Dharavi,” the official said.
