## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

- (a)  &  (b):  The  Government  of  India  has  launched  Atal  Mission  for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) on 25 June, 2015 with  focus  on  water  supply,  sewerage  &  septage  management, storm  water  drainage,  parks  &  green  spaces  and  non-motorized urban transport in 500 Mission cities across the country.

The details of financial assistance provided to States/Union Territories (UTs) during each of the last three years and the current year under AMRUTis at Annexure-I.

(c)& (d):Yes, Sir. As part of the National Housing and Habitat Policy 2007,  States  are  required  to  prepare  a  State  Housing  and  Habitat Policy.  In  this  backdrop,  Ministry  had  constituted  an  Affordable Housing  Task  Force  (AHTF)  in  2010  which  submitted  its  report  in Financial Year 2012-13. In order to take forward the recommendations  of  the  AHTF,  this  Ministry  had  organised  a number  of  consultations  at  the  National  level  and  also  engaged separately  with  the  State/UT  Governments,  academic  institutions, various associations, and the civil society, among others.

Based  on  the  inputs  received  and  in  view  of  the  various  policy developments, it was decided that the housing sector needs to be addressed  as  a  whole  rather  than  focusing  on  specific policy prescriptions for  the  affordable  housing  segment.  It  was  therefore decided  that  the Ministry  will  focus  on  finalizing  a  'Template  for Preparation of State Housing  Policy for Urban  Areas' with a guidance note  on  various  conceptual  frameworks,  including  good practices  available  across  the  country.  The  scope  of  different policies undertaken by the Ministry was also examined.

A Guidance Note on the 'Template for Preparation of State Housing Policy for Urban Areas' was subsequently prepared and shared with States/UTs for their adoption.

(e): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas  Yojana  (Urban) [PMAY(U)] for providing assistance to States/UTs in addressing the housing requirement of the  people  belonging  to  Economically  Weaker  Sections  (EWS), Lower Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) categories in urban areas including the Metro Cities.

A  total  83,62,975  houses  have  so  far  been  sanctioned  under  the Scheme, out of this 26,07,913 are completed.In Metro Cities (Million Plus Population), a total 19,93,424 houses  have  so  far  been sanctioned under the Scheme, out of this 7,50,637 are completed.
