## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) & (b): 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.  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),  Swatchh  Bharat Mission - Urban 2.0 (SBM - U 2.0), Pradhan Mantri Street Vendor's AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi), 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.

SBM-U: Government of India launched the Swachh Bharat MissionUrban (SBM-U) on October 2, 2014 with the objective of making all cities Open Defecation Free (ODF) and for 100% scientific processing of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in the urban areas of all States/UTs including Ballia Lok Sabha Constituency. To carry forward the progress made, SBM-U 2.0 has been launched on October 1, 2021 with a vision of achieving Garbage Free Status for all cities through 100%  source  segregation,  door  to  door  collection  and  scientific management  of  all  fractions  of  waste  including  safe  disposal  in scientific landfills.

Under  SBM-U,  funds  are  released  by  Government  of  India  to  the States/UTs on the basis of action plan duly approved by State Level Technical  Committee  (SLTC)  submitted  by  States/UTs  which  are further  transmitted  to  ULBs  by  the  concerned  State/UT  Govt. Therefore, details of financial assistance/projects approved in respect  of  Ballia  Lok  Sabha  constituency  under  SBM-U  are  not available. Details of funds allocated to Uttar Pradesh are as below:

Further,  Sanitation  is  a  State  subject  under  7th  schedule  of  the constitution,  it  is  the  responsibility  of  State/ULBs  to  plan,  design, execute and operate sanitation projects in the urban areas of the country.

Providing universal coverage of sewerage & septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is other major focus of AMRUT 2.0.
