## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to (c): As per the provisions of Article 243W of the Constitution, in conjunction  with  the  Seventh  and  Twelfth  Schedules,  matters relating to urban development fall within the purview of States/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) provides programmatic support to the States/Union Territories  (UTs)  in  their  urban  development  agenda  through  its various flagship Missions/Programmes viz. Atal Mission for Rejuvenation  &  Urban  Transformation  2.0  (AMRUT  2.0),  Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0), Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban 2.0 (SBM - U 2.0), Urban Transport (UT), etc.

Through these Missions/Schemes, the Central Government approves the  State  Plans  and  provides  the  Central  Assistance  (CA)  to  the States. The projects are selected, designed, approved and executed by the States/UTs and the cities. The State Governments release funds to the cities/districts.

AMRUT: This mission was launched on 25 June 2015 in selected 500 cities (485 cities including 15 merged cities) and towns across the country. The Mission focuses on development of basic infrastructure, in the selected cities and towns including poor, in the sectors of water supply; sewerage and septage management; storm water drainage; green spaces and parks; and non-motorized urban transport. AMRUT 2.0 was launched in the year 2021 in all ULBs/ cities, enabling the cities to become 'self-reliant' and 'water secure'. Providing universal coverage of sewerage and septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is one of the major focus areas of AMRUT 2.0. Under the Mission, States/UTs are empowered to select, appraise, propose and implement projects. As reported by the State/ UTs on AMRUT  Portal,  against  the  approved  plan  size  of  ₹77,640  crore, 6,008 projects worth ₹83,463 crore have been taken up of which works worth ₹80,469 crore have been physically completed. Under AMRUT 2.0 so far, the proposal of the States/UTs for 8,804 projects worth  ₹1,93,427.02  crore  have  been  approved  by  MoHUA  which include 3,516 water supply projects worth ₹1,18,226.61 crore, 588 Sewerage & Septage Management projects worth ₹67,840.59 crore, 3,031 water body rejuvenation projects worth ₹6,270.51 crore a nd 1,669  parks  projects  worth  ₹1,089.31  crore. Under  the  Mission, central share of funds are allocated/released/sanctioned to States/ UTs and not to the City/ ULBs.

Under AMRUT, against Central share of ₹36,036 crore for projects, ₹34,901 crore have been released.

Under  AMRUT  2.0,  against  Central  share  of  ₹66,750  crore  for projects,  ₹19,138.21  crore  have  been  released/sanctioned  so  far. State wise fund released/sanctioned under AMRUT 2.0 and AMRUT during the last 03 years is attached at Annexure-I.

So far, as reported by the States/ UTs, 228 lakh water tap connection and  169  lakh  sewer  connections  (including  households  covered through  Faecal  Sludge  and  Septage  Management)  have  been provided  through  AMRUT,  AMRUT  2.0  &  convergence.  State-wise details are attached at Annexure-II.

SBM-U:  This  Mission  supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  by providing  policy  directions,  financial  and  technical  support.  The initiatives  under  SBM-U  are  targeted  at  benefitting  the  entire population of the city including backward areas and not restricted to any particular area/section of the city. SBM-U is being implemented in 4910 ULBs of the country. Under SBM-U, funds are released to States/UT Administrations for construction of Community/ Public Toilets (CT/PTs) and Individual Household Latrines  (IHHLs)  on  need  basis  to  all  citizens  of  urban  areas including  backward  area.  The  CT  and  IHHLs  are  targeted  for  the under-privileged  sections  of  the  society  who  cannot  afford  these facilities.  On  the  other  hand,  PTs  are  targeted  for  the  floating population  and  common  persons  in  public  places  in  urban  areas. Under  SBM-U  2.0,  Central  Share  of  funds  are  released  to  the States/UTs on the basis of receipt of action plans from States/UTs duly approved by State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) which are further transmitted to ULBs by the concerned State/UT as per their action plan.

Funds under SBM-U are allocated for the entire mission period and not on yearly basis. Under SBM-U 2.0, the total financial outlay of the States and UTs for the entire Mission Period i.e. from 1 st  October, 2021 to 31 st  March, 2026, is ₹1,41,600 crore, including committed Central Assistance (CA) of ₹36,465 crore. Under SBM-U, all ULBs of 35 States/UTs became ODF in October, 2019. This has been achieved
