## MODIFIED GUIDELINES FOR

## SUB-MISSION ON BASIC SERVICES TO THE URBAN POOR (BSUP)

## Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

## February 2009

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION NEW DELHI

## MODIFIED GUIDELINES  FOR PROJECTS OF JAWAHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL URBAN RENEWAL MISSION (JNNURM) ON BASIC SERVICES TO THE URBAN POOR (BSUP)

1. Need  for  Sub-Mission  on  Basic  Services  to  the  Urban  Poor (BSUP) under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

As per 2001 population census, 285.35 million  people  reside  in  urban areas.    It  constitutes  27.8%  of  the  total  population  of  the  country.    In  postindependence era while population of India has grown three times, the urban population has grown five times.  The rising urban population has also given rise to increase in the number of urban poor.  As per 2001 estimates, the slum population  is  estimated  to  be  61.8  million.    The  ever  increasing  number  of slum  dwellers  causes  tremendous  pressure  on  urban  basic  services  and infrastructure.  In order to cope with massive problems that have emerged as a result of rapid urban growth, it has become imperative to draw up a coherent urbanization policy/strategy to implement projects in select cities on mission mode.

## 2. Mission Statement

Reforms driven, fast track, planned development of identified cities with focus on  efficiency in urban  infrastructure/services  delivery  mechanism, community  participation  and  accountability  of  Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs) towards citizens.

## 3. Mission Strategy

- 3.1. Planned urban perspective frameworks for a period of 20-25 years (with 5  yearly  updates)  indicating  policies,  programmes  and  strategies  of  meeting fund requirements would be prepared by every identified city.  This perspective plan would be followed by preparation of Development Plans integrating land

use with services, urban transport and environment management for every five year  plan  period.  In  this  context,  a  City  Development  Plan  (CDP)  would  be required before the city can access Mission funds.

- 3.2. Cities will be required to prepare Detailed Project Reports for undertaking projects under identified areas.
- 3.3. Private Sector Participation in development, management and financing of Urban Infrastructure would be clearly delineated.
- 3.4. Funds  for  identified  cities  would  be  released  to  the  designated  State Nodal  Agency,  which  in  turn  would  leverage  additional  resources  from  the State Government their own funds, funds of implementing agencies and funds from the financial institutions/private sector/capital market and External Aid. A revolving fund would be created to take care of operation and maintenance of various assets created under the Mission.

## 4. Mission Objectives

- 4.1. Focused  attention  to  integrated  development  of  Basic  Services  to  the Urban Poor in the cities covered under the Mission.
- 4.2. Provision of Basic Services to Urban Poor including security of tenure at  affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery through convergence of other already existing universal services of the Government for education, health and social security.   Care will be taken to see that the urban poor are provided housing near their place of occupation.
- 4.3. Secure effective linkages between asset creation and asset management so that the Basic Services to the Urban Poor created in the cities are not only maintained efficiently but also become self-sustaining over time.
- 4.4. Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in the Basic Services to the Urban Poor .

- 4.5. Scale  up  delivery  of  civic  amenities  and  provision  of  utilities  with emphasis on universal access to urban poor.

## 5. Duration of the Mission

The duration of the Mission would be seven years beginning from the year 2005-2006.  During this period, the Mission will seek to ensure sustainable development of select cities. An evaluation of the experience of implementation of the Mission would be undertaken before the commencement of Eleventh Five Year Plan and if, necessary, the programme calibrated suitably.

## 6. Scope of Mission Programme

The main thrust of the sub-Mission on Basic Services to the Urban Poor will  be  on  integrated  development  of  slums  through  projects  for  providing shelter, basic services and other related civic amenities with a view to provide utilities to the urban poor.

## 7. Mission Components

The  sub-Mission  on  Basic  Services  to  the  Urban  Poor  will  cover  the following:-

## (a) Admissible components:-

- i. Integrated development of slums, i.e., housing and development of infrastructure projects in the slums in the identified cities.
- ii. Projects  involving  development/improvement/maintenance  of basic services to the urban poor.
- iii. Slum improvement and rehabilitation projects.
- iv. Projects on water supply/sewerage/drainage, community toilets/baths, etc.
- v. Houses at affordable costs for slum dwellers/ urban poor/EWS/LIG categories.
- vi. Construction and improvements of drains/storm water drains.
- vii. Environmental improvement of slums and solid waste management.
- viii. Street lighting.
- ix. Civic amenities, like community halls, child care centers, etc.
- x. Operation and maintenance of assets created under this component.

- xi. Convergence of health, education and social security schemes for the urban poor
2. NOTE:

Land cost will not be financed except for acquisition private   land   for   schemes/ projects in the    North    Eastern States & hilly States, viz., Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand     and Jammu & Kashmir.

## (b) Inadmissible Components

Projects pertaining to the following will not be considered :

- i) Power
2. ii) Telecom
3. iii) Wage employment programme & staff component
4. iv) Creation of fresh employment opportunities

NOTE: DPRs will have to be prepared by the implementing agencies for funding under the Mission including specific project components, viz, health, education and social security.  However, the schemes of  health,  education  and  social  security  will  be  funded  through convergence of schemes and dovetailing of budgetary provisions available  under  the  programmes  of  respective  sectors  (Health, Human Resource Development, Social Justice and Empowerment and Labour, etc.), but will also be monitored by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation in so far as urban poor are concerned.

## 8. Sub-Mission Coverage

- 8.1. Keeping in view the paucity of resources and administrative constraints in taking up all cities and towns under this Sub-Mission, only selected cities will be taken up, as per norms/criteria mentioned below.
- 8.2. List of these cities is at Annexure-A.

|    | Category                                                            |   Number |

of

8.3. National Steering Group may consider addition or deletion of cities/towns under Category-C (other than State capitals).  Total  number of cities under the Mission shall, however, remain about the same i.e. 63 .

## 9. Agenda of Reforms

- 9.1. The main thrust  of  the  revised  strategy  of  urban  renewal  is  to  ensure improvement  in  urban  governance  so  that  Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs)  and para-statal agencies become financially sound with enhanced credit rating and ability to access market capital for undertaking new programmes  and expansion of services. In this improved environment, public-private participation  models  for  provisioning  of  various  services  would  also  become feasible.    To  achieve  this  objective,  State  Governments,  Urban  Local  Bodies and para-statal agencies will be required to accept implementation of an agenda of reforms.  The proposed reforms shall broadly fall into two categories:-
- i) Mandatory reforms
- ii) Optional reforms
- 9.2. List of Mandatory and Optional reforms is at Annexure-B.
- 9.3. National  Steering  Group  may  add  additional  reforms  to  the  identified reforms.

## 10. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA)

The  State  Governments  and  the  ULBs/Parastatals  will  be  required  to execute  a  Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MoA)  with  Government  of  India indicating their commitment to implement the identified reforms.  MoA would also  spell  out  specific  milestones  to  be  achieved  for  each  item  of  reform. Signing of this tripartite MoA will be a necessary condition to access Central assistance.    This  tripartite  MoA  would  be  submitted  along  with  Detailed Project Reports (DPRs).  The Central assistance will be predicated upon the

State Governments  and the ULBs/Parastatals agreeing to the reforms platform.

## 11. National Steering Group under JNNURM

## 18. Revolving Fund

Under Sub-Mission on Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP), wherever State Level  Nodal Agency releases  Central and State funds to the implementing agencies as soft loan or grant-cum-loan, it would ensure that at least  10%  of  the  funds  released  are  recovered  and  ploughed    into    the Revolving Fund.  This fund will be utilized to meet operation & maintenance expenses  of  the  assets  created  under  the  Sub-Mission.      At  the  end  of  the Mission period, the Revolving Fund may be graduated to State Basic Services to the Urban Poor Fund.

## 19. Financing Pattern

19.1. Financing of projects under the Mission would be as under:-

| Category of cities                                                             | Grant Share   | State/ULB/Parastatal share, including Beneficiary contribution   |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|

Note: The percentage is on the total project cost.

- 19.2. Central  assistance,  as  aforesaid,  would  be  the  maximum  assistance available under JNNURM. The Central assistance provided under the Mission can be used to leverage market capital, if and where required.
- 19.3. In  order  to  prepare  City  Development  Plan  (CDP),  Detailed  Project Reports (DPRs), training &  capacity building, community  participation, information,  education  and  communication  (IEC),  a  provision  of  5%  of  the Central  grant  or  the  actual  requirement,  whichever  is  less,  may  be  kept  for sanction to cities/towns covered under the Mission.
- 19.4. In  addition,  not  more  than  5%  of  the  Central  grant  or  the  actual requirement,  whichever  is  less,  may  be  used  for  Administrative  and  Other Expenses (A&OE) by the Centre and the States.  However, the Centre's share shall not exceed 1% of the Central grant.

## 20. Mobilization of State share

20.1. If  necessary,  internal  resources  of  implementing  agencies,  Member  of Parliament  Local  Area  Development  and  Member  of  Legislative  Assembly Local Area Development funds may be substituted for institutional finance or for State/ULB/ Parastatal share.  However, MPLAD/MLALAD fund would not substitute beneficiary contribution.

20.2. In case any Mission project is also approved as Externally Aided project (EAP), the EAP  funds  can  be  passed through as ACA  to  the  State Government as funds contributed by State / ULBs / FIs and Mission funds can be used as Government of India contribution.

## 21. Beneficiary Contribution

Housing should not be provided free to  the  beneficiaries  by  the  State Government.    A  minimum  of  12%  beneficiary  contribution  should  be stipulated,  which  in  the  case  of  SC/ST/BC/OBC/PH  and  other  weaker sections shall be 10%.

## 22. Release of Funds

22.1. Funds  would  be  released,  as  far  as  possible  in  four  instalments , as Additional Central Assistance (100% Grant in respect of Central share) to the State Government or its designated State level agencies.  The first instalment of 25%  will  be  released  on  signing  of  the  Memorandum  of  Agreement  by  the State Government/ULB/Parastatal for implementation of JNNURM projects. The balance amount of assistance shall be released as far as possible in three instalments upon receipt of utilization certificates to the extent of 70% of the Central  fund  and  also  that  of  State/ULB/Parastatal  share,  and  subject  to achievement  of  milestones  agreed  for  implementation  of  mandatory  and optional reforms at the State and ULB level as envisaged in the Memorandum of Agreement.

## 22.2.

In respect of the implementation of BSUP the reforms critical to slum improvement are:

- i) Internal  earmarking  within  Urban  Local  Body  budgets  for  basic services to the urban poor - eventually developing a Basic Services to the  Urban  Poor  Fund    so  that  adequate  resources  are  available  for meeting the needs of the urban poor;
2. ii) Provision  of  basic  services  to  the  urban  poor  including  security  of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery of other already existing universal services of the government for education, health and social security in a time-bound manner; and
3. iii) Earmarking at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing projects (both  Public  and  Private  Agencies)  for  EWS/LIG  category  with  a system  of  cross-subsidization  so  that  land  is  available  for  affordable housing for the urban poor.

22.3.  Accordingly, release of Central assistance to States/Union Territories  under  the  Sub-Mission  on Basic  Services  to the Urban Poor (BSUP)  is  linked  to  the  progress  of  implementation  of  3  pro-poor reforms under JNNURM that are critical to slum improvement.

## 23. Outcomes of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission

On completion of the Mission period of seven years, it is expected that ULBs will achieve the following outcomes:-

- Modern and transparent budgeting, accounting, financial management systems, designed and adopted for all urban services

and governance functions;

- City-wide framework for planning and governance will be established and become operational;
- All urban poor people will be able to obtain access to a basic level of urban services;
- Financially  self-sustaining  agencies  for  urban  governance  and service  delivery  will  be  established,  through  reforms  to  major revenue instruments;
- Local services and governance will be conducted in a manner that is transparent and accountable to citizens;
