## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f): Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation (AMRUT) 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, in the sectors of water supply; sewerage and septage management; storm water drainage; green spaces and parks; and non-motorized urban transport.  As  reported  by  the  State/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  on  AMRUT Portal,  against  the  approved  plan  size  of  ₹77,640  crore,  6,010  projects worth ₹83,483 crore have been taken up.

Under AMRUT Mission in convergence with the States, 189 lakh water  tap  connections  (new/  serviced)  have  been  provided  against  the target of 139 lakh; 149 lakh sewer connections (new/ serviced) (including households  covered  through  Faecal  Sludge  and  Septage  ManagementFSSM) provided against the target of 145 lakh; Sewer network of 21,753 kilometers  and  water  supply  network  of  73,519  kilometers  have  been constructed;  4,622  Million  Litre  Per  Day  (MLD)  Sewerage  Treatment Capacity  (STP)  and  4,933  Million  Litre  Per  Day  (MLD)  Water  Treatment Capacity (WTP) have been developed; 1,456 kilometers length of drains have been constructed resulting in eliminating 3,759 numbers of water logging points; 5,092 acres of Green space, 430 km pedestrian/ walkway and 43 km of cycle track have been developed. State-wise tap & sewer connections provided (including Maharashtra) under AMRUT & Convergence are given in ANNEXURE I & ANNEXURE II respectively.

(g) to (i): So far, as reported by the State/ Union Territories (UTs) on AMRUT  Portal,  under  AMRUT  works  worth  ₹80,103  crore  have  been physically completed.

AMRUT  guidelines  have  provisions  for  formation  of  State  High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the State, to monitor and supervise the implementation of the scheme at the State/ UT level. State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) headed by the  Secretary,  Urban  Development  &  Housing  Department  provides technical support to the SHPSC in monitoring and supervising the scheme at the State level. Further, an Apex Committee constituted under the ambit of  Mission  guidelines  reviews  and  monitor  the  Mission  periodically.  For assessment and monitoring of work done under AMRUT in the States/ UTs, there  is  a  provision  of  Independent  Review  and  Monitoring  Agencies (IRMAs).  Funds  are  released  to  the  States/  UTs  upon  satisfactory compliance of IRMA reports. Also, in order to fast-track the implementation  of  AMRUT,  the  progress  is  periodically  reviewed  and monitored through regular video conferences/ webinars/ workshops/ sitevisits  etc.  by  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  with  the States/  UTs  and  ULBs.  There  is  a  dedicated  AMRUT  online  portal  for tracking the progress and project-wise outcomes of provisions of water tap  connections  provided  by  the  States/  UTs.  Further,  NITI  Aayog  had conducted a review in June 2020 on the evaluation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes in the Urban Transformation Sector, including AMRUT. The study assessed  key  parameters  such  as  coverage,  incorporation  of  universal design, gender mainstreaming, pro-poor design, migration, and beneficiary targeting. The performance under the scheme was reported satisfactory as  it  aims  to  improve  the  quality  of  life  of  all  including  the  poor  and disadvantaged.
