'Therefore, schemes  related  to  housing,  urban  services,  sanitation  for  their citizens are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs). However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  in  urban  areas  through various  Missions,  such  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -  Urban (PMAY-U), Smart Cities Mission (SCM), Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and  Urban  Transformation  (AMRUT  2.0),  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  Urban 2.0 (SBM-U 2.0).

Further,  based  on  the  learnings  from  the  experiences  of  9  years implementation  of  PMAY-U,  MoHUA  has  revamped  the  scheme  and launched  PMAY-U  2.0  'Housing  for  All'  Mission  with  effect  from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across the country for 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries with an estimated investment of ₹10 lakh crore.

SCM  promotes  cities  by  providing  core  infrastructure  and  gives  a decent  quality  of  life  to  its  citizens  through  application  of  'Smart' Solutions. This approach promoted investment from multiple funding sources like convergence with other Central and State Government schemes, Public Private Partnership etc. 100 cities have undertaken a total of 8,063 projects amounting to ₹1,64, 545 crore in the Mission. As on 04.03.2025, 7,504 projects amounting to ₹1,50, 306 crore have been completed, as per the data provided by 100 Smart Cities.

To  carry  forward  the  progress  made,  SBM-U  2.0  was  launched  on October  1,  2021,  with  a  vision  of  creating  Garbage  Free  cities, remediation  of  all  legacy  waste  dumpsite  and  treatment  of  used water in the cities having population below 1 lakh.
