New Delhi 14 March, 2023 23 Phalguna, 1944 (Saka) Shri Rajiv Ranjan Singh Alias Lalan Singh Chairperson Standing Committee on Housing and Urban Affairs REPORT Part-I I- Introductory According to Census 2011, the decadal growth of urban population was higher than rural population, with 31.2 percent of the population living in urban areas.

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of large cities.

While rapid urbanization brings in new opportunities of growth, it also poses several challenges.
A comprehensive development of physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure is required to sustain this urban growth.

The transition has not been accompanied by a commensurate increase in the supply of basic urban services like water supply, sewerage and drainage network, solid/liquid waste management facilities, citywide roads, public transport, and public safety systems like street lighting and pedestrian pathways.
The challenge of urbanization in India is to ensure service delivery at enhanced minimum standards.

2.

Urban development is a State subject and the Constitution (seventy-fourth) amendment Act, 1992 has delegated many functions to urban local bodies which are listed in the Twelfth Schedule.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs plays a catalytic role by providing schematic and programme support through its various flagship Schemes/programmes, viz., Smart City Mission, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (Urban), Atal Mission for Rejuvination and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban), Prime Minister’s Street Vendors’ Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi), Deendayal Antyodaya Yojna- National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM).
These are implemented through a number of Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes.

II- Implementation status of the recommendations contained in the Twelfth Report of the Committee on Demands for Grants (2022-23) of the Ministry on Housing and Urban Affairs.

The Finance Minister has made following announcements falling under the domain of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in the Budget Speech (2023-24): i.

Sustainable Cities of Tomorrow -States and cities will be encouraged to undertake urban planning reforms and actions to transform our cities into ‘sustainable cities of tomorrow’.
This means efficient use of land resources, adequate resources for urban infrastructure, transit-oriented development, enhanced availability and affordability of urban land, and opportunities for all.

ii.

Making Cities ready for Municipal Bonds-Through property tax governance reforms and ring-fencing user charges on urban infrastructure, cities will be incentivized to improve their credit worthiness for municipal bonds.

iii.
iii.

Infrastructure Development Fund-Like the RIDF, an Urban Infrastructure Development Fund (UIDF) will be established through use of priority sector lending shortfall.

This will be managed by the National Housing Bank, and will be used by public agencies to create urban infrastructure in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

States will be encouraged to leverage resources from the grants of the 15th Finance Commission, as well as existing schemes, to adopt appropriate user charges while accessing the UIDF.
We expect to make available Rs.10,000 crore per annum for this purpose.

iv.

Urban Sanitation- All cities and towns will be enabled for 100 per cent mechanical desludging of septic tanks and sewers to transition from manhole to machine-hole mode.

Enhanced focus will be provided for scientific management of dry and wet waste.

13.
As regards the Budgetary announcement of the Finance Ministry pertaining to Municipal Bonds, it is stated that the Committee in their Twelfth Report on ‘Demand for Grants (2022-23) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs had recommended that the Ministry should impress upon the various State Governments the need to take suitable steps to improve the credit worthiness of various Municipal Bodies and ensure that adequate capacity building training is conducted so that they can raise additional funds through Municipal Bonds.

It may be seen that in certain Scheme(s), the utlization has been less than 50% till January, 2023.

As regards the query regarding low utlization of funds in certain scheme(s), Ministry in their written reply has informed as under:- “With the introduction of revised procedure of Ministry of Finance for flow of Central Share (CS) through Public Finance Management System (PFMS), the States/UTs have to realign their systems to comply with the mandatory requirements of the revised system.
Most of the States were not ready for this and most of the States took time for compliance.

In the absence of the mandatory compliance of MoF’s instructions, CS funds couldn’t be released even though funds were concurred by Finance Division.

This resulted in the low quantum of CS fund release in spite of the fact that sufficient proposals from the States/UTs were already received and approved by the Ministry.” 16.
A Statement showing the Scheme-wise BE/RE/Expenditure for last five Financial Years and BE 2023-24 in respect of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is placed at Annexure I.

In reply to the query as to whether financial allocations made during 2023-24 is sufficient keeping in view the target of completion of 122.69 lakh till 31.12.2024, The Ministry replied as under:- “Keeping in view the balance Central Assistance to be released during the extended scheme period, HFA Directorate has projected the requirement of Rs.30,196.44 crore under PMAY-U as Budget Estimate for FY 2023-24.

However, only Rs.25,103.03 crore has been provided to the scheme.
Additional fund would be sought at appropriate stage during FY 2023-24.” 19.

The Projected outlay for the Scheme for the FY 2023-24 was Rs.30196.44 crore.

However, financial allocation of Rs.25103.03 has been made in the BE 2023-24.
In this regard, replying to the question, Secretary, MOHUA during the oral evidence deposed before the Committee: “हमने आज तक पीएमएवाई मे एक लाख तीन हजार करोड़ रूपये खर्च ककए है। आप एवरेज देख लीकजए की बीस से तीस हजार करोड़ रूपये आ रहे है। इस साल भी यह पर्ीस हजार करोड़ रूपये है। हर साल एवरेज पर्ीस के करीब ही होता है। एक लाख बारह हजार घरो को बनाने के कलए हमने प्रजेंटेशन में टोटल फण्ड रीक्वारमेंट बताई थी की करीब 59 हजार करोड़ रूपये है। 25 हजार करोड़ रूपये 2023-24 में प्रोवाइड ककए जा रहे है और करीब 34 हजार करोड़ रूपये नेक्स्ट ईयर प्रोवाइड ककए जायेगे। ये 59 हजार करोड़ रूपये अगर सारे घर कजतनी हम एक्सपेक्ट कर रहे है, पाांर् परसेंट तो डर ाप आउट भी होांगे ही, एक्सपेक्टेड है की हांडर ेड प्रेसेंट तो नहीां होांगे, तो टोटल 59 हजार करोड़ रूपये, कजसमे 25 हजार करोड़ इस साल और बाकी अगले साल फण्ड की रीक्वारमेंट है।” 20.
On being asked whether Ministry will be able to meet the committed financial outlay of Rs.2.03 crores upto 31.12.2024 looking to the pattern of expenditure and the General Election Scheduled in 2024.

The Ministry replied as under:- 8 “Out of approved Central Assistance of Rs.2.03 lakh crore, a total of Rs.1.39 lakh crore has already been released to States/UTs/CNAs as on 15.02.2023 which will reach up to Rs.1.44 lakh crore by the end of current financial year.
Further, after adding the budget allocation of FY 2023-24, the total release of Central Assistance under the scheme would be Rs.1.68 lakh crore.

The Ministry is reviewing the progress of implementation of PMAY-U with States/Uts regularly for early completion of all compliances for timely release of Central Assistance.
In view of the progress being made by the States/Uts, it is expected that the Ministry may seek additional funds at appropriate stage in FY 2023-24 itself to meet a considerable portion of the demand.

Hence, remaining demand of committed Central Assistance would be released to States/Uts in FY2024-25(upto December, 2024).” 21.
As regards rushing of expenditure during the closing years of the Scheme, the Ministry in their written reply submitted as given: “During initial years of scheme, the demand of funds from States/UTs was less as only 1st installment was released in sanctioned projects.
However, during later period, the requirement of fund under the scheme increased considerably with the progressive sanctioning of new projects and progress made by States/UTs in already sanctioned projects and claims were received for release of remaining installments.

Accordingly, Mission projected enhanced demand of funds during later years of the scheme.

An allocation of Rs.

21,853.26 crore in FY 2019-20; Rs.

31,000.00 crore in FY 2020-21; Rs.

27,023.57 crore in FY 2021-22, Rs.


28,708.01 crore in FY 2022-23 and Rs.

25,103.03 crore in FY 2023-24 has been provided for PMAY-U through Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) and Extra Budgetary Support (EBR).” 22.

As regards the variation between BE and RE for the Financial Year 2022-23, the Ministry submitted before the Committee that in order to meet requirement towards release of interest subsidy, Rs.5,500.00 crore was sought in RE 2022-23 over and above BE allocation.
However, scheme got Rs.708.00 crore additional in RE 2022-23 and balance would be re-appropriated from other heads of the scheme.

And they are also ensuring that entire allocation will be utilized in the remaining period of current Financial Year.

(ii) Urban Transport / Metro Rapid Transit System 23.

The details of Budget Estimate (BE), Revised Estimate (RE) and Actual funds released in r/o Metro/RRTS Projects since 2018-19 are as under:- Year Budget Estimate (BE) Revised Estimate (RE) 9 (Figure in Rs.

The Details regarding completion of various metro projects funded by Government of India in the Country is placed at Annexure-II.

25.

It may be perused that the physical and financial progress of the Metro Projects in Patna, Surat, Agra, Bhopal and Indore is very slow.
As regards the reasons for delay in completion of some metro projects, Secretary, MOHUA informed the Committee as under:- “हमारे तीन मेटर ो प्रोजेक्ट्स सबसे कडले है, पटना भोपाल और इांदौर। ये काफी समय से नॉन स्टाटचर थे। हमने राज्य सरकार को भी कर्ट्ठी कलखी है की मेटर ो में फु लटाइम एमडी लगाया जाए। मेटर ो बड़ा ही कॉम्प्लिके टेड सब्जेक्ट है। टेंडर करते है, तो टेंडर की प्री क्वाकलकफके शन, ररक्वायरमेंट्स, टर्म्च और कां डीशांस बहुत ही कॉम्प्लिके टेड होती है। अगर एमडी पाटच टाइम होता है, तो समझने में भी कदक्कत होती है। भोपाल , इांदौर और पटना में ये समस्या रही है। हमने राज्य सरकार से कहा है की फु ल टाइम एमडी रखीये और उनको बार बार न बदले। मध्य प्रदेश में यह भी समस्या रही है की मेटर ो के सीईओज़ बदलते रहे है। मैने कपछले वीक भोपाल का ररव्यु ककया था, अब लग रहा है कक वहाां स्पीड ठीक हो रही है। उन्ोांने सारे वकच आडचर कर कदए है। भोपाल और इांदौर में मेटर ो के काफी कपछड़े हुए के सेज है। भोपाल , इांदौर और पटना के अलावा कोई नहीां है। पटना में तो डीएमआरसी को कदया गया है। उसके बाबजूद भी काफी कडले हुआ है। अभी जायका का लोन भी स्वीकृ त नहीां हुआ है।“ 26.
During the evidence meeting, it was brought to the notice of the Committee that one of the reasons for delay in completion of Metro Projects is the absence of a dedicated Managing Director (MD) in Metro Corporations.

This accelerated project completion is noteworthy, as the cities have been able to achieve despite multiple challenges on-ground, including COVID 19 pandemic scenario, political & regional considerations, local challenges related to land, labor etc.

Further, most of the cities/ULBs are developing such multi-sectoral urban projects for the first time (eg- Technology projects like ICCC, Smart Education, Smart Water and Energy projects etc).
Considering these challenges, the mission period of Smart Cities Mission has been extended till June 2023 and all Smart Cities are expected to complete their projects within the stipulated time.” 50.
As regards the slow progress of the Mission the Secretary, during the evidence Sitting deposed as under:- “सर, एक र्ैलेंज कजसके बारे में आप ने बताया है की 25 शहरो में, कजनमे प्रगकत कम है। हमने कमशन कम्पलीट करने के कलए 30 जून, 2023 को लास्ट डेट तय ककया हुआ है। अब इनसे कडमाांड आ रही है कक इसे आगे बढ़ाया जाए। यह एक कवषय है, कजस पर हमें कडपाटचमेंट ऑफ़ एक्सपेंकडर्र के साथ र्र्ाच करनी है कक अगर हम इसे आगे बढ़ाते जायेंगे, तो जाकहर है कक यह धीरे -धीरे र्लता रहेगा। यकद इसे बांद कर देते है, तो वे प्रोजेक्ट्स आधे पड़े रहेंगे। जहााँ स्टेट गवनचमेंट अपना फण्ड दे देगी, वहाां तो ये प्रोजेक्ट्स कम्पलीट हो जायेंगे, नहीां तो इन्कलिीट रहेंगे। अतः यह एक ओपन इशू है, जो हमारे सामने है।“ (v) Swachh Bharat Mission – SBM (U) & SBM 2.0 51.
The Government of India launched the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) on 2nd October 2014, with a target to make the country clean by 2nd October 2019.

As regards reasons for sudden enhancement in the funds sought vis-à-vis the expenditure pattern of the previous years, the Ministry replied that the enhancement of the funds sought vis-à-vis the expenditure pattern of the previous years is justified in view of the fact that proposals amounting to Rs.10364.21 crore have already been received and under consideration for release and it is estimated that an amount of Rs.5000 crore will be required during 2023-24.

55.

The State wise financial progress of the SBM-U 2.0 is placed at Annexure V. 56.

Regarding physical progress for SBM-U 2.0, the Ministry has informed that funds have only been released recently to States/ UTs, and hence the actual physical progress will be reported after implementation of the Action Plans by the States/ UTs on ground after some time.

Absence of Annual Physical and Financial Targets under SBM (U) 18 57.
In their written replies the Ministry has submitted that under SBM (U), there are no yearly physical and financial targets and hence the question of co-relation between yearly targets – physical and financial and variations or reasons therefore do not arise.

Further, under SBM (U), implemented for the five year Mission period, the physical targets were decided accordingly for entire period.

58.
58.

On being asked as to why no yearly physical or financial targets set under SBM (U) and how without annual targets the performance of the Mission is assessed, the Ministry replied as given: “The Mission Period of SBM-U 2.0 is of 5 years, i.e.01.10.2021 to 01.10.2026.

The Operational Guidelines of the SBM (U) 2.0 stipulates allocation of CS Funds on Mission period basis and not on yearly basis.
This is so because various States/UTs are free to draw any quantum of CS fund (from the allocation made to them for the Mission period) at any time during the currency of the Mission as per their requirement, and their state of administrative readiness to undertake and execute the projects on ground.

The cities prepare the Action Plans, which are aggregated by the State Governments and thereafter, placed for approval of the National Advisory and Review Committee (NARC).
However, the Output and Outcome targets are decided with subsequent yearly targets for the entire mission period.” Information Education and Communication (IEC) and Capacity Building (CB) 59.

Under SBM (U), behavioural change, spreading awareness and capacity Augmentation for ULBs are critical components to spread the importance of sanitation and cleanliness.
However, as per information provided by the Ministry, the expenditure on Information, Education and Communication (IEC) in most of the states is almost ‘nil’.

As regards, Capacity Building (CB) also, the expenditure is also minimal.

When asked about the funds released under SBM(U) and SBM 2.0 under these component, the Ministry in their written reply informed that under SBM (U), an amount of Rs.1010.67 crore and Rs.277.59 crore was released under IEC and CB component respectively.
However, under SBM-U 2.0, an amount of Rs.141.17 crore and Rs.123.88 crore have been released so far under IEC and CB component respectively.

60.

Total funds allocated and the actual expenditure under IEC and CB components in the last two F.Y.

2021-22 and 2022-23 under SBM-U 2.0 are as under : Component Mission FY 2021-22 FY 2022-23 Total Allocation 19 IEC CB 3630.50 Cr 123.19 Cr 20.30 Cr 143.49 Cr 2118.20 Cr 120.00 Cr 24.21 Cr 144.21 Cr 61.
To ensure behavioural change and sustainability of the Mission, Ministry agreed that there is a need to increase expenditure under IEC and CB components as the Mission require a more intensified and focused approach to ensure participation and active engagement from each and every citizen and every stakeholder to achieve the vision of Garbage Free Cities.

Operation and Maintenance(O&M) of Public Toilets(PT)/Community Toilets(CT) 62.
The Operation and Maintenance of Public Toilets/Community Toilet are essential for sustainability of Mission.

In this regard, the Ministry has informed that the operation and maintenance of these assets remains a responsibility of the State Govt.

which delivers it through their own funds and they have the liberty to operate any model for operation and maintenance of Community/Public Toilets which also include levying of user charges.
However, under SBM-U 2.0, the States/UTs have to fulfill compliance of certain entry level conditions which inter alia also include levying of user charges by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) for the use of public toilets to be eligible for claim of Central Assistance under various components.

However, the States UTs have the relaxation period of two years (the first two years of SBM-U 2.0 Mission) for levying of the user charges.
Ministry apart from 3rd party certification, facilitates O&M through steps like Swachh Survekshan, Swachhata App that enables citizens to register sanitation related complaints including those pertaining to Public Toilets, mapping all CT/ PTs on Google maps and providing feedback and rating facilities of public toilets etc.

Promotion of Indore as a Model City under SBM (U) in achieving cleanliness and Solid Waste Management 63.
During the Study Visit of the Committee to Indore, the Committee were informed that people’s participation in the Swachhta Abhiyan (Cleanliness drive) is the most important factor in achieving the ‘most clean city’ status.

It was also informed that since the beginning of the Mission, the city focused on one particular theme during the period of 01 year and the theme was reinforced through hoarding, billboards, local radio, continuous announcements in public transport system etc.
which created awareness amongst the residents of Indore.

As a 20 result, the entire city of Indore is undertaking six way segregating of waste at source which not only improves the quality of waste but also the quality of output after its processing.

The efficient segregation of waste also makes the processing faster and easier.

64.
64.

The Committee also inspected trenching ground being used for segregation and processing of dry waste and bio-remediation park which has been developed after clearing landfill site and approximately 100 acres of land has been reclaimed in the process which is now being developed as garden and city forest.

When asked about whether the Ministry will be able to spend rest 62.65% of allocated funds in less than two month and whether this is financially prudent to spend about 70% of funds in last two months, the Ministry in the written reply submitted as under:- “The duration of PMSVANidhi was initially upto March, 2022 and the earmarked budget for FY 2022-23 was Rs.150 crore only.

Accordingly, Rs.433.94 crore under RE for the FY 2022- 23 was made available only in end of December, 2022.

Thereafter, the Ministry is taking sincere efforts to utilize the funds as per the RE.
As on 01.02.2023, Rs.242.08 crore has been released under PM SVANidhi Scheme and proposals for release of approx Rs.143 crore are under process at various stages.

In total approx Rs.385 crore (88% of RE) shall be utilized in another few days.

As such, the total loans to be disbursed till December 2024 is 57 lakh, out of which 41.4 lakh loans have already been disbursed.
Out of the remaining loans a target of 8 lakh has been kept for FY 2023-24, which appears reasonable.” Regarding the reasons for less number of applications for Second Loan as compared 71. to the first loan, the Ministry during the evidence deposed as under: “Sir, a reference was made to first loan and second loan.

Any street vendor becomes eligible for second loan when he returns back the first loan.
That is why, the number of beneficiaries, who are eligible for second loan, is slightly lower, close to 14 lakhs.

But second loan is given only if we classify him as an eligible beneficiary.

He takes the loan only if he is willing to take it.

Many beneficiaries have not taken second loan.

In fact, we have found that many beneficiaries do not take first loan also.
People are more interested in certificate of vending.” As regards provision of fourth tranche of loan amounting to Rs.1 Lakh, the Secretary, 72. during oral evidence made the following submission: “As I said, we are talking to the banks and DFS to rework what we can do, what is the increased fund requirement, and how to meet it”.

Owing to the rapid growth in the construction sector and growing need for productivity enhancement and income increase linked to skills, an Innovative & Special Project (I&SP) project under DAY-NULM named National 'Initiative for Promotion of Upskilling of Nirman Workers' (NIPUN) has been launched w.e.f.
20.06.2022 by Hon’ble Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs to bring positive impact in the lives of more than one- lakh construction workers through an innovative skilling and fulfilling the future needs of construction sector.

This project is a path-breaking skilling initiative for the largely unorganized labour force in the construction sector.
The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MoSDE) has been engaged as ‘Implementation Partner’ for all the three modes / components of NIPUN namely Recognition to prior learning (RPL), Fresh Skilling and International placement.
In the project, major real-estate developers’ associations like National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) and Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI), besides Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) like Water Management and Plumbing Skills Council (WMPSC) and Infrastructure Equipment Skill Council (IESC) etc.

have been engaged.

As regards steps taken for improvement in the implementation of the scheme, the Ministry submitted as under:- “Various correspondence made with concerned for nomination of in-service Engineers for improvement in the implementation of scheme.

The major fund required under the object hear GIA (19.01.31) which depends upon the nominations received for PHE Training programme and R&D activities from various State/ UTs departments and empanelled academic institutes.” 82.
Further, the PHE Sector Development scheme includes PHE training, Applied Research, Capacity Building and monitoring &evaluation of projects etc.

being operated by CPHEEO.

In the year 2021-22, Applied Research is carried out through various Academic and Research Institutes in the field of Water Supply, Sanitation including Solid Waste Management.

83.
As regards challenges faced regarding implementation of schemes and role of CPHEEO in imparting training, the Ministry during the oral evidence deposed as under: “सीपीएर्ओ का स्टेटस टर ेकनांग देने का है, दू सरा सीपीएर्ओ के अलावा इांजीकनयररां ग कॉलेजेज और आईआईटीस बगैरह में भी पम्प्िक हेल्थ इांजीकनयररां ग में काफी ेकनांग प्रोवाइड कर रहे है । फस्टच स्कीम के फां ड्स एक्सपटीज है । उससे भी हम टर भी यूज़ कर रहे है । आपकी बात कबलकु ल सही है बहुत ज्यादा टर ेकनांग की जरूरत है । टेम्प्िकल एक्सपटीज, सर् बात तो है कक जब बात करते है, तो लोगो को बेकसक काांसेप्ट म्प्ियर नहीां होते है इवन इांजीकनयरस बगैरह है सबको िैररटी नहीां होती है।” Various Performance Tracking Dashboards developed by the Ministry under (ii) different Schemes and Missions 84.
During the examination of various Schemes/Missions of the Ministry, it was brought to the knowledge of the Committee that for better monitoring of various Schemes, such as PMAY(U), SBM (U), AMRUT, etc., the Ministry after consultation with all the stake- holders have launched ‘Performance Tracking Dashboards’ carrying the state/UT wise 26 information related to progress of projects, fund released, Utilization pending, project timelines, graphical view of various -stages of execution etc.
It will also have information, viz., timeline of project, sanction orders, UC etc.

The above Dashboards have been developed because providing crucial and important and timely information is an instrument in successful implementation of any scheme especially when the project is of immense national importance and which cater to aspiration of public at large.
*** 27 PART –II OBSERVATIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation No.1 Need to Increase Budgetary allocation of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs The Committee appreciate that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has been able to utilize more than 99 percent of the funds allocated during the last two financial years i.e.
2020-21 and 2021-2022.The Committee, however, note with concern that even though the total expenditure budget of the Government has increased by more than 5.5 Lakh Crore, the allocation to Ministry has been reduced from Rs.76,549.46 crore (1.94% of total expenditure budget) in 2022-23 to Rs.76,431.60 crore (1.70% of total expenditure budget) in 2023-24.
The Committee further note that the percentage share of allocation of the Ministry in Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Sector Schemes has also been reduced from 10.23% in FY2022-23 to 9.68% in FY2023-24 and from 2.33% in FY2022-23 to 1.80% in FY2023-24 respectively.
The Committee are of the opinion that such reduced allocation to the Ministry is in stark contrast to the rapid urbanisation and rising aspirations of Urban India whose contribution in India's Gross Domestic Product is estimated to be more than 60% and whose population is projected to reach 55 Crores in 2030 from 37.71 Crore in 2011.
The Committee feel that in order to meet the challenges of urbanisation and realise the full potential of human capital in our cities, comprehensive development of Physical, Institutional, Social and Economic Infrastructure is required and the various schemes/missions of the Ministry are contributing towards achievement of this goal.

The Committee are of the view that the budgetary support for the Ministry is required to be in tune with the entrusted responsibility of comprehensive urbanization.
The Committee therefore recommend the Ministry to take up the matter with Ministry of Finance and impress upon the need to increase the Budgetary allocation of the Ministry for funding urban infrastructure requirement to make our cities sustainable, safe, resilient and inclusive.

28 Recommendation No.2 Utilisation of funds under various Scheme(s) The Committee have observed that there has been gross underutilization of funds under some Major Scheme(s) during the financial year 2022-23 till January, 2023.
Responding to the Committee's apprehension about the utilization of remaining amount within the period of less than 02 months, the Ministry submitted that the they are hopeful to spend almost the entire funds made available under various schemes in the Revised Estimate (RE).
The Ministry informed that one of the reasons for under- utilization of funds till January, 2023 was introduction of revised procedure of Ministry of Finance for flow of Central Share (CS) through Public Finance Management System (PFMS), wherein the States/UTs have to realign their systems to comply with the mandatory requirements of the revised system.

Most of the States were not ready for this and most of the States took time for compliance.
In the absence of the mandatory compliance of Ministry of Finance (MoF)’s instructions, CS funds couldn’t be released even though funds were concurred by Finance Division.

This resulted in the low quantum of CS fund release in spite of the fact that sufficient proposals from the States/UTs were already received and approved by the Ministry.
The Committee have observed from the scheme-wise utilization details furnished by the Ministry that as on 01.02.2023, in some Schemes/ Mission more than 70% of allocation has been utilized viz.

PMAY-74.35%, AMRUT- 84.85%, MRTS & Metro Projects-87.64%, whereas, it is less than 50% of RE in others viz.

Swachh Bharat Mission-46.90%, DAY-National Urban Livelihood Mission-21.21%, PM Svanidhi Mission-37.35%.

The Committee, therefore, do not agree with the submission of the Ministry.
The Committee are of the view that rush of expenditure at the fag end of the financial year is against the principles of financial propriety and a violation of the prescribed guidelines issued by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance.
While impressing upon the needs to follow the principles of financial propriety of even utilization of funds throughout the financial year, the Committee recommend the Ministry to take all necessary steps to utilize the balance of allocated funds of the current financial year.
29 Recommendation No.3 Exercising financial prudence in utilization of allocated funds under Pradhan Mantri AwasYojna (Urban) [PMAY(U)] to meet the financial commitment under the Scheme The Pradhan Mantri AwasYojna (Urban) was introduced in 2015 with the estimated investment of Rs.8.31 lakh crore wherein the Central Assistance is limited to 24%, i.e., Rs.2.03 lakh crore, in overall expenditure.
In 2022-23, the Scheme had the highest Budgetary allocation which was 36.6% of the overall Budgetary allocations, i.e.

Rs.28,000/- crore and was subsequently upwardly revised to Rs.28,708.01 crore at the RE stage.

The Committee have been apprised that to meet requirement towards release of interest subsidy, Rs.5,500.00 crore was sought in RE 2022-23 over and above BE allocation.
However, the scheme got Rs.708.00 crore additional in RE 2022-23 and balance would be re-appropriated from other heads of the scheme.

As on 01.02.2023, the expenditure under the Scheme stands at 74.35% of the allocated funds.

In the ensuing Financial Year also, the proposed Budgetary allocation to PMAY(U) is highest, that is, 33% of the total BE.
As per the Ministry’s submission, out of approved Central Assistance of Rs.2.03 lakh crore, a total of Rs.1.39 lakh crore has already been released to States/UTs/CNAs as on 15.02.2023 which will reach up to Rs.1.44 lakh crore by the end of current financial year.

Further, after adding the budget allocation of FY 2023-24, the total release of Central Assistance under the scheme would be Rs.1.68 lakh crore.
The Committee have also been informed that the Ministry is reviewing the progress of implementation of PMAY-U with States/UTs regularly for early completion of all compliances for timely release of Central Assistance and in view of the progress being made by the States/UTs, it is expected to seek additional funds at appropriate stage in FY 2023-24 itself to meet a considerable portion of the demand.

The Committee apprehend that the utilization of remaining balance commitment for the Scheme i.e.
Rs.35,000 crore (approx.)

in the Financial Year 2024-25 that too by 31st December, 2024 to meet the target of 1.23 lakh houses will be a challenging task.

The Committee feel that since this is a demand driven scheme, the Ministry needs to work in a mission mode to get the early completion of formalities from States/UTs to ensure timely utilization 30 of funds and therefore, desire the Ministry to take immediate steps in the direction.
The Committee hope that after channelizing the State/UTs, the Ministry will be able to utilize the budgetary allocations for the year 2023-24 and can seek additional funds at RE stage to make the objective ‘Housing for all’ achievable.
Recommendation No.4 Stressing the need of appointing a full-time Managing Director in a Metro Corporation The Committee have observed from the data provided by the Ministry that the physical and financial progress of some of the metro projects particularly in Patna, Surat, Agra, Bhopal and Indore is very tardy.
The Committee acknowledge that metro is a complex subject and progress of the Metro projects depends upon various factors such as land acquisition, finalization of financial tie ups with external agencies, Statutory clearances, etc.

The Committee are, therefore, of the opinion that the role of leadership in various metro projects become utmost important and crucial to understand, resolve, negotiate, facilitate and monitor these complex issues.
However, the Committee are surprised to note that some of the Metro Corporations/Projects, namely Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) Limited, Mumbai Metro Line 3, Noida Metro Rail Corporation, Patna Metro Rail Project, Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited are operating without any full time/dedicated Managing Director.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that the Ministry should stress upon the need of appointing full-time Managing Director in all the Metro Corporations/Projects and take up the matter with various State Governments at the earliest.

The Committee also recommend that frequent transfers of Managing Directors of various metro corporations/projects may also be avoided to ensure constant and continued focus.
Urban Transport Planning & Capacity Building Scheme Recommendation No.5 The Urban Transport Planning & Capacity Building Scheme was formulated in August, 2008 for taking up Transportation and Traffic related studies.
The Committee note that in line with National Urban Transport Policy 2006, this Scheme aims to promote Comprehensive and Integrated Urban 31 Transport Planning, Integration of usage of land and transport by means of preparing Comprehensive Mobility Plans (CMPs)/ Detailed Project Reports (DPRs)/ Transportation Studies; adoption of Intelligent Transport Systems; launching of awareness campaigns etc..

The current tenure of the scheme is up to 31.03.2023.
The Committee feel that most of the cities in the country are grappling with congestion and traffic related issues.

Hence, this scheme can immensely contribute in preparation of comprehensive mobility plan and Integrated Urban Transport Planning leading to efficient, comfortable and fast mobility in urban areas which can have a multiplier effect on productivity, sustainability and livability of our cities.
The Committee have also observed that there has been a rising tendency to announce metro projects without proper study of their need/feasibility taking into account the population density, area of the city and other relevant factors which results in poor ridership and under utilization of valuable resources which could have been utilised elsewhere more judiciously and productively.
Against this background, the role of Urban Transport Planning & Capacity Building Scheme become all the more critically important in sanctioning of such capital intensive projects.
The Committee, therefore, recommend the Ministry to review the tenure of Urban Transport Planning & Capacity Building Scheme and consider its extension as its competence in the area of transportation and traffic related issues can have a lasting effect in urban planning reforms and making our cities 'sustainable cities of tomorrow'.
Recommendation No.6 Augmentation of City Bus Services Including Associated Infrastructure and Green Urban Mobility Initiatives In the Budget Speech 2021-22, the Finance Minister announced the launching of a new scheme at a cost of Rs.18,000 crores to support augmentation of public bus transport services.

It was stated that the scheme will facilitate deployment of innovative PPP models to enable private sector players to finance, acquire, operate and maintain over 20,000 buses.
Since the announcement, the Committee in their 5th Report (17th Lok Sabha) on Demands for Grants (2021-22) and their 12th Report (17thLok Sabha) on Demands for Grants (2022-23) enquired about the non-implementation of the Scheme so far 32 and stressed upon the need to implement the Scheme on a Mission mode.
In the half-yearly statement by the Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs regarding the status of implementation of the recommendations contained in the 12th Report of the Committee, the Ministry submitted that the draft Cabinet Note of the proposed scheme, which was sent to the Ministry of Finance on 17.05.2022 for their approval, has since been approved.
Regarding the latest status of this Scheme, the Ministry have informed that the approval of Hon’ble Finance Minister on the draft cabinet note has been obtained on 05.12.2022 and submitted for the consideration and approval of the Cabinet.

The Committee are surprised to note that though this is the third Financial Year since the announcement of this Scheme, yet it is at approval stage and even in budgetary allocation for the financial year 2023-24, no provision has been made for this scheme.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that on receiving the Cabinet approval for the Scheme, the necessary financial allocation may be sought from the Ministry of Finance and may be briefed about the modalities finalized for the implementation of the Scheme at the earliest.
Recommendation No.7 Setting of timeline for completion of pending/ongoing projects under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 1.0 The Committee note that the financial outlay of the AMRUT 1.0 was Rs.1 lakh crore with Central Assistance of Rs.50,000 crores (50% of total outlay) over 05 years, i.e., from 2015-16 to 2019-20.

The total approved plan size of the mission was Rs.77,640 crore covering 500 cities.
The Mission was subsumed in AMRUT 2.0 and extended till March, 2023 to complete the ongoing projects.

The Committee have been informed that out of 5,883 grounded projects, 4,764 projects have been completed.

Physical works worth Rs.68,730 crore, i.e.

88% of the approved plan size has been completed so far.

As regards funding, as per AMRUT 2.0 Mission Guidelines, Rs.10,000 crore central funding is allocated for AMRUT projects till March 2023.
The clarification for delay in completion of AMRUT 1.0 projects furnished by the Ministry is that the projects under AMRUT are large infrastructure projects with long gestation period and take significant time for completion.

The delay is largely because of COVID-19 pandemic, delayed approvals/NOCs from 33 concerned departments.

The Ministry has submitted that the ongoing AMRUT projects will take another 6 months to one year for completion.
The Committee observe that even after completion of the extended period of AMRUT 1.0 Mission, the projects taken under the Mission are yet to be completed.

Moreover, the Ministry has launched AMRUT 2.0 in October, 2021 and subsumed the pending projects of AMRUT 1.0 in AMRUT 2.0 while keeping separate funding.
The Committee are of the view that gestation period forms the very basis of setting timelines in any project and it can be inferred from the submission of the Ministry, gestation period involved in the various projects submitted by the State/UTs to MoHUA under AMRUT was not taken into account while sanctioning of projects.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that (i) The Ministry should set timeline for completion of the pending projects and all the pending/ongoing projects undertaken under AMRUT 1.0 must be completed within that stipulated timeline; (ii) The Ministry should ensure completion of projects under first phase of any Scheme/Mission before launching any subsequent phase.
Recommendation No.8 Regular monitoring and reviewing of sanctioned projects under AMRUT 2.0 and seeking additional Budgetary allocation in coming years The Committee appreciate that AMRUT 2.0 is a paperless online mission which has significantly improved the process of project approval and so far projects amounting to Rs.

1.29 lakh crore has been approved by the Ministry.


However, the data furnished by the Ministry show that only 202 projects worth Rs.2787 crore has been grounded and 10 projects worth Rs.90 crore has been completed.

As regards financial progress, out of committed Central Assistance of Rs.76,760 crore, only around Rs.5800 crore of Central Assistance has been released so far.
The Committee have also observed that 6 States/UTs are still in the process of submission of first tranche of State Water Action Plan (SWAP).

The Committee, therefore, feel that the physical and financial progress is very negligible despite the fact that the Mission is in the Second phase and various stakeholders, viz., the States and ULBs are likely to be more aware of the modalities of the Scheme.
With this pace, the Committee apprehend that like the first phase of AMRUT, it will be difficult to achieve the projected targets within the 05 year period of the Mission.

The 34 Committee also feel that since 6,527 projects worth Rs.1,29,000 crore have already been sanctioned by the Ministry, the demand for funds under the Scheme is likely to increase substantially in the future.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that:- (i) MOHUA may constantly monitor and review the physical and financial progress of the Scheme and engage with the States/ULBs to ensure timely completion of sanctioned projects; (ii) The Ministry may seek enhanced Budgetary allocation for the Scheme in the coming years to meet the likely increase in requirement of funds so that projects sanctioned under the scheme may not languish due to paucity of funds.

Recommendation No.
Recommendation No.

9 Ensuring completion of Projects within the extended period of the Smart City Mission (SCM) The Committee note that the last round of selection under Smart City Mission was made in January 2018 and hence the stipulated period of 05 years has completed.
As regards financial allocation made by the Ministry, out of overall financial support of Rs.48,000 crore to the Mission, Rs.36,561 crore has been released and Rs 33,012 crore (90% of total released) have been utilized by the Smart Cities.

The Committee further note that 100 Smart Cities have proposed projects worth Rs.2,05,018 crore under the Mission.

Out of which 7821 projects worth Rs.1,81,349 crore have been taken up.

So far, 5343 projects worth Rs.1,00,450 crore could be completed.
However, the City-wise physical progress of projects taken up under the Smart City Mission shows that there is a contrasting difference in the performance of various Cities.

On the one hand, 32 Smart Cities have completed more than the number of Projects planned for implementation under SCM in some cases even four times more than the actual target.

On the other hand, remaining 68 Smart Cities are yet to meet the project completion targets wherein the performance of some cities is quite dismal.
Therefore, the total number of completed Projects gives a misleading picture because it also takes into account the excess projects accomplished by 32 performing Smart Cities.

The Committee are of the opinion that if the number of ‘excess projects’ is removed from the total completed projects then the actual number of projects completed under 35 the Mission would be far less than projected as on 31.01.2023.
The fact remains that as on 31.01.2023, 68 Smart Cities have not achieved their physical targets under the Mission.

The Mission period has been extended till June, 2023 to complete these projects and the Ministry has submitted before the Committee that all the Smart Cities are expected to complete their projects within the stipulated time.
The Committee while acknowledging the multiple challenges on-ground, including COVID-19 pandemic scenario, multi-sectoral projects, local challenges related to land, labour etc., stress that (i) the Ministry should rigorously pursue with the lagging Smart Cities and ensure that both the physical and financial targets are actually achieved within the extended time period, i.e., June, 2023; (ii) no further extension of time should be granted without a detailed assessment and addressing of reasons leading to such inordinate delay in completion of these projects.
Recommendation No.10 Setting of Annual Physical and Financial Targets under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) [SBM (U)] The Committee have been apprised that as such no Annual Plans were finalized under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban).

Under SBM(U) 1.0, total mission allocation was Rs.14,622.73 crores.

Under SBM (U) 2.0, launched on 1st October, 2021, mission allocation of Rs.36,465 crores was provided for the mission period 2021-2026.
The Mission is implemented for the five year Mission period, the physical targets were decided accordingly for entire period.

There are no yearly physical and financial targets and hence the question of co-relation between yearly targets – physical and financial and variations or reasons therefor do not arise.
According to the Ministry, this is so because various States/UTs are free to draw any quantum of Central Sector fund (from the allocation made to them for the Mission period) at any time during the currency of the Mission as per their requirement, and their state of administrative readiness to undertake and execute the projects at ground.
The Cities prepare the Action Plans, which are aggravated by the State Governments and thereafter, placed for approval of the National Advisory and 36 Review Committee (NARC).

However, the Output and Outcome targets are decided with subsequent yearly targets for the entire mission period.
The Committee are not convinced with the argument forwarded by the Ministry because under other Missions of the Ministry, namely, Smart City Mission, AMRUT or PM SVANidhi, total outlay and committed Central Assistance is decided at the launching of the Mission but then to monitor and proper implementation of the Mission, Annual financial and physical targets are set and strived for.
The Committee are of the opinion that the absence of Annual physical and financial targets leaves the Mission without any accountability till the Mission period ends.

The Committee are of the view that a realistic budgetary allocation can be sought on the basis of annual targets, and therefore, recommend that under SBM (U) 2.0 the Ministry should both set financial and physical targets from the Financial Year 2023-24 onwards.
Recommendation No.11 Need for optimal utilization of funds allocated under Information Education and Communication (IEC) and Capacity Building (CB) heads of Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) [SBM (U)] The Committee understand that under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) [SBM(U)], behavioural change, spreading awareness and capacity Augmentation for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are critical components to spread the importance of sanitation and cleanliness.
However, as per the information provided by the Ministry, the expenditure on Information, Education and Communication (IEC) in most of the States is almost ‘nil’.

As regards, Capacity Building (CB) also, the expenditure is also minimal.

About the funds released under these component, the Ministry submitted that under SBM(U), for IEC Rs.1010.67 crore, for CB Rs.277.59 crore and under SBM2.0, Rs.141.17 crore for IEC and Rs.123.88 crore for CB have been released so far.
The Committee feel that Swachhta is a concept which is required to be followed constantly and continuously throughout the year by all the stakeholders.

Further, public awareness and people's participation is most crucial ingredient for spreading the importance and benefits of cleanliness and safe sanitation.

The Committee appreciate that the Ministry has launched certain application and portal related to Swachhta for people's participation in 37 this Mission.
At the same time, the Committee are of the view that unless the general public is informed and made aware regarding the usage of these applications/portal, the desired outcomes will be difficult to attain and for the purpose, the role of IEC and CB activities throughout the year is crucial.
Taking note of the fact that under this Scheme better performing States are the ones which are utilizing the funds under this head optimally, the Committee, therefore, recommend that the Ministry should encourage all the States and UTs to optimally utilize the funds allocated under IEC and CB heads of SBM (U) 2.0 and ensure compliance by all the States/UTs to achieve lasting impact of the Mission.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of Public Toilets(PT)/ Community Toilets Recommendation No.
12 (CT) The Operation and Maintenance of Public Toilets/Community Toilet are essential for sustainability of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban).

In this regard, the Ministry has informed that the operation and maintenance of these assets remains a responsibility of the State Government which delivers it through their own funds and they have the liberty to operate any model for operation and maintenance of Community/Public Toilets which also include levying of user charges.
However, under SBM-U 2.0, the States/UTs have to fulfill compliance of certain entry level conditions which inter alia also include levying of user charges by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) for the use of public toilets to be eligible for claim of Central Assistance under various components.

However, the States UTs have the relaxation period of two years (the first two years of SBM-U 2.0 Mission) for levying of the user charges.
The Ministry apart from 3rd party certification, facilitates O&M through steps like Swachh Survekshan, Swachhata App that enables citizens to register sanitation related complaints including those pertaining to Public Toilets, mapping all CT/ PTs on Google maps and providing feedback and rating facilities of public toilets etc.
The Committee note that one of the Mission objectives of SBM(U) was to augment capacity of ULBs to create an enabling environment in CAPEX (capital expenditure) and OPEX (operation and maintenance) and accept that in this direction levying of user charges plays a pivotal role.
38 The Committee, therefore, stress that under SBM (U) 2.0, even though operation and maintenance of Public Toilets (PC) and Community Toilets (CT) is the State governments’ responsibility but since assets have been created with central assistance and outcome of the Mission should not be restricted to mere creation of physical assets.
There is a need for constant monitoring over operation and maintenance of PTs and CTs otherwise the assets created under the Mission and public money invested in them will go wasted.
Recommendation No.13 Promotion of Indore as a Model City under SBM (U) in achieving cleanliness and Solid Waste Management The Committee during their Study Visit to the city of Indore which has won the ‘Most Clean City’ status in the Swachh Survekshan Awards, consecutively for the last six years, were informed that people’s participation in the Swachhta Abhiyan (Cleanliness drive) is the most significant factor in achieving the ‘most clean city’ status by Indore.
It was also informed that since the beginning of the Mission, the city focused on one particular theme during the period of 01 year and the theme was reinforced through hoarding, billboards, local radio, continuous announcements in public transport system etc.

which created awareness amongst the residents of Indore.

As a result, the entire city of Indore is undertaking six way segregation of waste at source which not only improves the quality of waste but also the quality of output after its processing.
The efficient segregation of waste at source also makes the processing faster and easier.

The Committee desire that Indore city should be promoted as a ‘Model City’ under SBM (U) in Solid Waste Management& cleanliness and all the other Cities should be encouraged to emulate and adopt the ‘Indore model of cleanliness’.
Introducing fourth tranche of loan of Rs.1 lakh under PM SVANdhi Scheme Recommendation No.14 This Committee in their Tenth Report on PM SVANidhi had suggested MoHUA to explore the possibility of extending the Scheme beyond March, 2022 as it directly benefits the street vendors and has been received well.

The Committee are pleased to note that PM SVANidhi scheme has been extended beyond March, 2022.
Accordingly, loaning under the Scheme shall continue till 39 December, 2024 and the disbursement of interest subsidy @7% till Financial Year 2027-28 with total outlay of Rs.2187.49 crore.

Accordingly, Rs.433.94 crore under RE for the FY 2022-23 was made available only in end of December, 2022 to the Ministry and by 01.02.2023, the Ministry was able to utilize only 37.35 % of the allocated funds.
However, the Ministry has submitted before the Committee that it is expected that the remaining amount shall also be utilized by the end of the financial year 2022-23.

In the Financial Year 2023-24, the proposed allocation is Rs.468 crore against which a target of 8 lakh vendors has been fixed.
On the observation of the Committee that loan target proposed for the Financial Year 2023-24 has been reduced vis-à-vis the targets set for the previous Financial Years, the Ministry explained that as per the approval accorded by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), the targets for loan disbursal for 1st, 2nd and 3rd tranches of loans of Rs.

10,000, Rs.

20,000 and Rs.50,000 respectively are 42 lakh, 12 lakh and 3 lakh respectively till December 2024.
As such, the total loans to be disbursed till December 2024 is 57 lakh, out of which 41.6 lakh loans have already been disbursed.

Out of the remaining loans a target of 8 lakh which includes both loan to the new Street Vendors and to the Street Vendors who wants to avail higher loan after repayment of earlier loans, has been kept for the Financial Year 2023-24.

The Committee believe that with the extension of the Scheme, the availability of funds is not an issue under PM SVANidhi.
As the Scheme played a vital role in empowering the lowest rung of the society, i.e., the street vendors by making financial assistance available to them, incentivizing regular payment and has successfully brought vendors in the formal banking system, the Committee urge the Ministry to consider introducing a fourth tranche of loan of Rs.1 lakh under PM SVANidhi for those interested vendors whose credit rating is good and intend to expand their business.
The Committee would also like the Ministry to conduct an ‘Impact assessment Study' of the PM SVANidhi Scheme and report to the Committee.

Recommendation No.15 Need for extension of Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) 40 The Committee note that the Scheme is primarily aimed at reducing poverty of urban households by enabling them to access self employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, building strong grassroots level institutions of Urban Poor etc.
The period of the Scheme is ending on 31st March, 2023.

From the data furnished by the Ministry, the Committee have observed that since 2018-19, there has been more than 97% utilisation of funds.

The Committee also note that under this Scheme placement of around 70% of the skilled persons has been achieved.
The Committee appreciate that the Ministry has started a path-breaking skilling initiative for the largely unorganized labour force in the construction sector named National 'Initiative for Promotion of Upskilling of Nirman Workers' (NIPUN) w.e.f.

20.06.2022 to bring positive impact in the lives of more than one-lakh construction workers in partnership with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MoSDE).
The Committee are of the view that large rural population who are often unskilled migrate to our cities in search of employment opportunities.

With the increasing use of technology and machines in various spheres of life, acquiring skills is of paramount importance for their employability, a fact that has also been underlined by various industries from time to time.
In view of the fact that skill based training programmes are necessary for sustainable growth of cities, the Committee feel that there is need to continue the programme in future also and recommend that the period of the Scheme may be extended beyond 31st March, 2023.
Recommendation No.16 Utilisation of Budgetary allocation of the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Sector Development Scheme The Committee note that the erstwhile PHE Training programme was converted as PHE Sector Development Scheme a Central Sector Scheme, with a dedicated budget head.
Under the Scheme, Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPEEHO) which is the technical wing of MOHUA provides training in the field of Water Supply and Sanitation Sector to in-service engineers and para- engineering staff of the various 41 State Public Health Engineering Departments, Water Supply and Sewerage Boards, Urban Local Bodies etc.

The Committee further note that the Budget under PHE Sector Development Scheme is Rs.

2 Crore.
2 Crore.

However, in the FY2022-23, nothing has been spent by the Ministry.

Taking note of the fact that one of the roadblocks in implementation of various scheme related to AMRUT, SBM(U) is lack of technical expertise among various State Government Departments, ULBs etc., the Committee feel that a substantial amount of work is required to be done in capacity building, training etc.
to fully equip various civic agency working under State Government and ULBs to maximise the benefits of the various Scheme(s) implemented by MOHUA.

However, it is ironical that on one hand MOHUA is underlining the need to improve technical expertise of State Government departments/ULBs implementing various scheme(s) of the Ministry and on the other hand the budget meant for said training is not being fully utilised by them.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that the Ministry may devise and conduct suitable training programme(s) for various State Government Departments/ULBs and other stakeholders involved in various Scheme(s) of MOHUA so that the available funds may be utilised meaningfully.

Recommendation No.
17 Providing of Login Credentials of Performance Monitoring Dashboards of various Mission and Projects to all the Members of Parliament During the examination of various Schemes/Missions of the Ministry, it was brought to the knowledge of the Committee that for better monitoring of various Schemes, such as PMAY(U), SBM (U), AMRUT, etc., the Ministry after consultation with all the stake-holders have launched ‘Performance Tracking Dashboards’ carrying the State/UT-wise information related to progress of projects, fund released, Utilization pending, project timelines, graphical view of various -stages of execution etc.
It will also have information, viz., timeline of project, sanction orders, UC etc.

The above Dashboards have been developed because providing crucial, important and timely information is an instrument in successful implementation of any scheme especially when the 42 project is of immense national importance and which cater to aspiration of public at large.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that Login credentials for all such Dashboards created by the Ministry may be created and provided to all the Members of Parliament for enabling them day-to-day monitoring of status of execution of projects in districts, cities falling in their respective constituencies.
