## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a)  to  (d):  Government  of  India  launched  the  Smart  Cities  Mission (SCM)  on  25  June  2015. 100  Smart  Cities,  including  those  in  West Bengal, Bihar, and Haryana, have been selected through 4 rounds of competition from January 2016 to June 2018. State/UT/Smart City-wise details of projects is given as Annexure-I.

The implementation of SCM at the City level is done by SPVs created for the purpose. These  SPVs  are  entities registered  under  The Companies Act, 2013 with 50:50 ownership of Urban Local Bodies and respective  States.  They  plan,  implement,  operate,  and  monitor  their development projects. As per Mission Guidelines, Smart City Advisory Forums (SCAF) have been established in all Smart cities. These SCAFs, inter alia, consist of Member(s) of Parliament, Member(s) of Legislative Assembly, Mayor, District Collector, local youth, technical experts, and other stakeholders. All 100 Smart Cities have established their SCAFs. As on 3 March 2023, 749 SCAF meetings have been convened by these 100  Smart  Cities.  SCAFs  have  the  mandate  to  advise  and  enable collaboration among various stakeholders in Smart City development. Approval to projects is provided by the Boards of SPVs.

At  State  level,  Mission  implementation  is  coordinated  by  the  State level High Powered Steering Committee (HPSC).   At the National level, implementation of SCM is monitored by an Apex Committee headed by Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).  Nominee Directors  of  MoHUA  on  the  Boards  of  SPVs  monitor  progress  in respective cities on a regular basis.  MoHUA regularly interacts with the  States/Smart  Cities  through  video  conferences,  review  meetings, field  visits,  regional  workshops  etc.  at  various  levels  to  assess  the performance  of  cities  and  handhold  them  for  improving  the  same. Smart  Cities  are  assessed  on  various  parameters  including,  but  not limited to, project implementation and utilization of funds through the Real Time Online Geospatial Management Information System (GMIS).
