- (c) the reasons for such under-utilizations along with the corrective steps being taken by the Government in this regard?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION (RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

****

- (a) &(b):    The  Ministry  has  been  implementing  Jawaharlal  Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban)-Housing for All {PMAY  (U)-HFA}  schemes  for  extending  central  assistance  to States/UTs for providing houses and related basic civic amenities to urban poor including slum dwellers.

State-wise details of central grant released during the last three years and current year under these schemes and percentage of funds utilised by the States/UTs is annexed which reflects that 4 States have utilized less than 50% of the funds released.

(c): The  reasons for such under-utilizations are due to nonavailability of encumbrance free land, reluctance of slum dwellers / beneficiaries to shift temporarily in cases of in-situ redevelopment projects etc. For ensuring optimum utilization of funds, the Ministry reviews  status  of  ongoing  projects  under  these  schemes  through Quarterly and Monthly Progress Reports, in the meetings of Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) and review meetings at  the  level  of  Secretary  (HUPA).  Through  these  reviews,  State/UT Governments are advised to utilize the funds released by Govt. of India and to complete the on-going projects at the earliest.
