## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

(a)& (b): Government  of  India  has  launched  Atal  Mission  for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) on 25 June, 2015 to provide basic civic amenities in 500 selected Mission cities in the country. The thrust areas of the Mission are Water supply, Sewerage &  Septage  management,  Storm  Water  drainage,  non-motorized Urban  Transport  and  development  of  Green  spaces/parks  in  the Mission cities. Under the Sewerage & Septage management sector, projects related to decentralised, networked underground sewerage systems,  including  augmentation  of  existing  and  rehabilitation  of old  sewerage  systems  &  Sewage  Treatment  Plants  (STPs)  can  be taken  up  by  the  States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  Further,  projects related to cleaning, transportation & treatment of faecal sludge and mechanical and biological cleaning of sewers & septic tanks may also be taken up under AMRUT by the States/UTs.

Out of the total State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) of ₹77,640 crore approved by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs for the entire  Mission  period  (25  June,  2015  to  31  March,  2020)  under AMRUT,  ₹32,456  crore  has  been  allocated  to  projects  in  the Sewerage  &  Septage  management  sector.  So  far,  761  projects worth ₹32,816 crore, including projects related to STPs, have been

taken up by the States/UTs in the sewerage & septage management sector,  of  which,  contracts  have  been  awarded  for  638  projects worth ₹26,784 crore including 112 completed projects worth ₹1,200 crore.  Further,  123  projects  costing  ₹6,031  crore  are  at  various stages  of  tendering.  Some  States/UTs  have  taken  up  projects  in excess of their approved SAAPs. In such cases, the entire additional cost of the projects will be borne by the concerned State/UT.

Under AMRUT, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs approves only  the  SAAPs  prepared  and  submitted  by  the  States/UTs  and releases  committed  Central  Assistance  as  per  Mission  guidelines. Selection, appraisal, approval and implementation of projects, including their operation, maintenance and upkeep is the responsibility of the States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).

(c) to (e): Public health and sanitation is a State subject and it is the  responsibility  of  the  States/ULBs  to  ensure  management  of sewage in the cities. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States/ULBs through its various flagship schemes/missions.

Government  of India has approved SAAPs  amounting  to ₹77,640 crore submitted by all the States/UTs for the entire Mission period under AMRUT, which include committed Central Assistance of  ₹35,990  crore.  Central  Assistance  is  not  released  project  or sector-wise  under  the  Mission.  The  State/UT-wise  list  of  Central Assistance released during the last 3 years and the current year is placed as Annexure-I.

Under AMRUT, end-to-end support for project design, development, implementation and management  is provided to ULBs/States by Project Development and Management Consultants. The Mission also provides for augmenting the capacity of the ULBs through its capacity building component.

(f)& (g): The  Ministry  is  regularly  reviewing  the  progress  of  the works  carried  out  under  the  Mission  through  various  meetings, video conferences apart from visits to the States/UTs by the senior officers of this Ministry. The State/UT-wise details of progress made in  the  Sewerage  &  Septage  management  sector  is  placed  as Annexure-II.
