- (c) to (e)   Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs(MoHUA) approves
- the overall State plans and releases the central financial assistance under its flagship programmes- Atal Mission for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation  (AMRUT), Smart Cities Mission(SCM), Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojana-Urban(PMAY-U) Swachh Bharat MissionUrban(SBM-U) and Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission(DAY-NULM).

State  Plans  under  AMRUT  were  approved  in  three  phases during 2015-2017. Selection of Smart Cities under SCM was done  through  competition  in  multiple  five  rounds  during 2015-18. Under other Missions, plans submitted by States/Union Territories(UTs) are approved as per guidelines. The detailed projects under these programmes are conceived, appraised, approved and implemented by the States/UTs thereafter.  The Missions (except for DAY-NULM) support urban infrastructure. DAY-NULM addresses livelihood  concerns  of  urban  poor  and  funds  are  released annually  for  its  activities.  Urban  infrastructure  projects generally  require  three  years  or  more  for  execution  and completion after selection of cities, approval of plans and setting up of implementation structures. Utilization of funds under  the  Missions  accordingly  depend  on  these  aspects. Utilization certificate becomes due after one financial year from the financial year in which the Central Assistance (CA) was released.

The  financial  progress  under  these  Missions/Schemes  in

Odisha is given in the Annexure.
