AAMCHI MUMBAI

INTRODUCTION• The city Mumbai, know as Bombay until 1995, is a great port city, situated on the

west coast of the Indian peninsula.• It is one of India's dominant urban centers and, indeed, is one of the largest and

most densely populated cities in the world. • Deriving its name from Mumba Devi, a goddess of the local Koli fishing peoples,

Mumbai grew up around a fort established by the British in the mid-seventeenth century to protect their trading interests along India's western coast.• The city's superb natural harbor provided a focal point for sea routes crossing the

Arabian Sea, and Mumbai soon became the main western gateway to Britain's expanding Indian empire. • The city emerged as a center of manufacturing and industry during the eighteenth

century. • Today, Mumbai is India's commercial and financial capital, as well as the capital

city of Maharashtra State.

HISTORY

• Mumbai is built on what was once an archipelago of seven islands: Bombay Island, Parel, Mazagaon, Mahim, Colaba, Worli, and Old Woman's Island (also known as Little Colaba).• The city then was known as Heptanesia (Ancient Greek: A Cluster of Seven

Islands) to the Greek geographer Ptolemy.• In 1543 AD, the Portuguese seized the isles from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat and

they remained in their control until 1661.• Following this period, the isles were ceded as dowry to Catherine de Braganza

when she married Charles II of England.

• He, in turn, leased the isles to the East India Company during their colonization in 1668 and that's when the city was named Bombay.• In 1687, the English East India Company transferred its headquarters

from Surat to Bombay.• King George V and Queen Mary visit Mumbai. Gateway of India is

built to commemorate their arrival in 1911.• Post-independence, the city expanded drastically and a number of

suburban towns were incorporated within the city limits such as Borivali, Andheri, Malad, Thane and Bandra. • In 1st May 1960, Bombay became the new capital of Maharashtra.

GEOGRAPHY• Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is

located on the western seacoast of India on the Arabian Sea at 18°53’ N to 19°16’ N latitude and 72° E to 72°59’ E longitude.

• The present day city is divided into two revenue districts, Mumbai City District, i.e, the island city in the South and Mumbai Suburban District comprising the Western and Eastern suburbs.

• Mumbai occupies an area of 468 square kilometers (sq. km.) and its width is 17 km. east to west and 42 km. north to south.

• Bombay has numerous creeks with close to 71KM2 of creeks and mangroves along its coastline.• The Vasai Creek to the north and Thane Creek to the east separates

Salsette Island from the mainland.• Within the city the Malad (Marve) Creek and the Gorai (Manori) Creek

inundate the suburban region. • The Mahim Creek forms the border between the two districts. There are

also the Mahul Creek and the Mahim Creek.• There are three hill ranges with the city limits. The Ghatkopar Hills, The

Trombay Hills, The Powai Hills.

• The Climate of Mumbai is a tropical wet and dry climate. • Mumbai's climate can be best described as moderately hot with high

level of humidity.• Its coastal nature and tropical location ensures temperatures won't

fluctuate much throughout the year.

ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM

• The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) also known as. Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai is the civic body that governs the capital city of Mumbai in Maharashtra and is India's richest municipal organization.• The BMC's annual budget is more than that of some of the small

states of India. Established under the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act 1888,it is responsible for the civic infrastructure and administration of the city and some suburbs of Mumbai.• In 2014, Trishna Vishwasrao became the first female corporator to be

leader of the Corporation's house.• The corporators are responsible for overseeing that their constituencies

have the basic civic infrastructure in place, and that there is no lacuna on the part of the authorities.

• The BMC was created in 1865 and Arthur Crawford was its first Municipal Commissioner. • The Municipality was initially housed in a modest building at the

terminus of Girgaum Road.• In 1870, it was shifted to a building on the Esplanade, located

between Watson Hotel and the Sassoon Mechanics Institute where the present Army & Navy building is situated.• On December 9, 1884, the foundation stone for the new building of

the Bombay Municipal Corporation was laid opposite Victoria Terminus now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, by the then Viceroy, Lord Ripon.

MUMBAI POLICE• Mumbai Police motto is-" “ सद्रक्षणाय खलनिग्रहणाय which

means "To protect the good and to destroy the evil“• The origins of the present day Mumbai police can be traced

back to a militia organised by Gerald Aungier, the then Governor of Mumbai in 1669. • This Bhandari Militia was composed of around 500 men

and was headquartered at Mahim, Sewree and Sion.• The Mumbai Police is headed by a Police Commissioner,

who is an IPS officer. • There are a total of 91 police stations in the jurisdiction of

Mumbai Police. • Mumbai Police’s elite commando force, which is a

specialised counter terrorism unit to guard the Mumbai metropolitan area, is called Force One

OCCUPATION• Mumbai has traditionally owed its prosperity largely to its textile mills and its

seaport till the 1980s. • These are now increasingly being replaced by industries employing more skilled

labour such as engineering, diamond polishing, healthcare and information technology.• Mumbai is also the primary financial centre for India, both the major Indian stock

exchanges (BSE and The National Stock Exchange), brokerages, asset management companies (including majority of the mutual fund companies), headquarters of most Indian state-owned and commercial banks, as well as the financial & monetary regulatory authorities of India (SEBI and RBI among other institutions).

• As Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, government employees make up a large percentage of the city's workforce. • Mumbai also has a large unskilled and semi-skilled labour population, who

primarily earn their livelihood as hawkers, taxi drivers, mechanics and other such proletarian professions. • The port and shipping industry too employs many residents directly and indirectly.

Like most metropolitan cities, Mumbai also has a large influx of people from rural areas looking for employment.• Mumbai is home to some of India's largest and wealthiest industrial

conglomerates, such as the Aditya Birla Group, Godrej, and Tata & Sons.• More specialized economic activities are diamond cutting, computers, and movie

making (in sheer numbers,"Bollywood," produces more movies than any other city in the world, including Hollywood).

BOLLYWOOD• Even if you’ve never actually seen a film from India, the word Bollywood

immediately conjures up images of sumptuous, brightly colored productions shot in exotic locales featuring beautiful stars partaking in impressively choreographed song and dance numbers. Now it has grown to become one of the country’s most powerful and financially lucrative industries, and the world leader in both the number of films produced each year as well as audience attendance.• The word Bollywood is (obviously) a play on Hollywood, with the B coming from

Bombay (now known as Mumbai), the center of the film world. • The word was coined in the 1970s by the writer of a magazine gossip column,

though there is disagreement as to which journalist was the first to use it.• However, Indian cinema dates all the way back to 1913 and the silent film Raja

Harishchandra, the first-ever Indian feature film.

• Its producer, Dadasaheb Phalke, was Indian cinema’s first mogul, and he oversaw the production of twenty-three films between 1913-1918. Yet unlike Hollywood, initial growth in the industry was slow.• 1931 saw the release of Alam Ara, the first talkie, and the film that paved the way

for the future of Indian cinema.• The number of productions companies began to skyrocket, as did the number of

films being produced each year—from 108 in 1927, to 328 in 1931.• With the recent success of films like Slumdog Millionaire and the injection of

foreign capital into the Indian film industry.• Bollywood is perhaps entering a new chapter in its history, one in which the eyes

of the world are now paying closer attention

DABBAWALA• In 1890 Bombay, Mahadeo Bhavaji Bachche started

a lunch delivery service with about a hundred men. • In 1930, he informally attempted to unionize the

dabbawallas. Later, a charitable trust was registered in 1956 under the name of Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Trust.

• The commercial arm of this trust was registered in 1968 as Mumbai Tiffin Box Supplier’s Association. And as the city grew, the demand for dabba delivery grew too.

• . In 1998, Forbes Global magazine, conducted a quality assurance study on the Dabbawalas’ operations and gave it a Six Sigma efficiency rating of 99.999999; the Dabbawalas made one error in six million transactions.

• That put them on the list of Six Sigma rated companies, along with multinationals like Motorola and GE.

CODING OF DABBA

DHARAVI• Dharavi is a locality in Mumbai, India. • It houses one of the largest slums in the world.• Dharavi slum was founded in 1882 during the British colonial era.• The slum grew in part because of an expulsion of factories and

residents from the peninsular city centre by the colonial government, and from rural poor migrating into urban Mumbai

•  Estimates of Dharavi's total population vary between 700,000 to about 1 million.

•  It currently covers an area of 217 hectares (535 acres).

• In addition to the traditional pottery and textile industries in Dharavi, there is an increasingly large recycling industry, processing recyclable waste from other parts of Mumbai. • The district has an estimated 5000 businesses and 15,000 single-room factories.• There have been many plans since 1997 to redevelop Dharavi.• Companies from around the world have bid to redevelop Dharavi,including

Lehman Brothers, Dubai's Limitless and Singapore's Capitaland Ltd.• The latest urban redevelopment plan proposed for the Dharavi area is managed by

American-trained architect Murkesh Mhata.
