N2  - The report presents the background against which a slum upgrading  program has been proposed by the Ahmadabad Municipal Corporation for the  city of Ahmadabad . The details of the program and its matching with the  objectives of the XSSS, a non-governmental organization , have been presented in relation to the physical upgrading of the slum settlement of  Mahaj an no Vanda in the Jamalpur area of Ahmedabad. A detailed study of  the physical conditions of the settlement with reference to the slum upgrading program showed that intervention within the slum settlement can  lead to better and more efficient utilization of residential space. This  indicates potential for greater improvement in slum conditions in the city  than has been anticipated under the slum upgrading program, wherein t he  slum occupants are t o be granted security of tenure for built-up areas  occupied at the time the Census of slums was undertaken in 1976. The  report explores the possibility of undertaking the upgrading program in  Mahajan no Vanda in stages that are identified from the need for priority  of action for the improvement of the physical conditions . The terms and  conditions under which security of tenure can be granted t o the households  in Mahajan no Vanda and calculations for the costing of t he project and  requirements for recovery of costs from the households show that the  proposed strategy provides a feasible solution for improvements in the  conditions of the settlement
