## ANSWER

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

- (a) & (b) : Government of India launched Smart Cities Mission (SCM) on 25 June 2015.  100 Smart Cities have been selected through 4 rounds of competition from January 2016 to June 2018. In the State of Andhra Pradesh, 4 cities, i.e. Kakinada & Visakhapatnam (Round-1), Tirupati (Round-2) and Amaravati (Round-3) have been selected for development as Smart Cities.

As per SCM Guidelines, Central Government will provide financial support to the extent of ₹ 48,000 crore over five years i.e., on an average ₹ 100 crore per city per year.  An equal amount on a matching basis will be contributed by the State Government/Union Territory (UT)/Urban Local Body (ULB).  This ratio was  later changed  to  90:10  for the 13  Smart  Cities in  NorthEastern/Hilly  States.  The  State/Union  Territory  (UT)/-wise  details  of  funds released and utilization thereof under SCM are given in Annexure-I.

(c)  :  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  implements  urban programs  and  Missions  which  help  deal  with  issues  related  to  rapid urbanization across all towns and cities of the country. Under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) launched in June 2015, 16 water body rejuvenation projects worth ₹ 76 crore were taken up. AMRUT 2.0  has  been launched on 1 October 2021 for 5 years. So far, 2,129 water body rejuvenation projects worth ₹ 3,751 crore have been approved in 1,430 ULBs under AMRUT 2.0. To help tackle water inundation, 719 Storm Water Drainage  (SWD)  projects  worth  ₹  1,622  crore  have  been  completed  and another 93 SWD projects worth ₹ 1,376 crore are in progress under AMRUT.

(d) :  Projects under SCM are aimed at improving liveability, economic-ability, and  sustainability  in  cities.  The  focus  is  on  sustainable  and  inclusive development and the idea is to look at developing compact areas, creating replicable  models  which  will  act  as  light-houses  to  other  aspiring  cities through work on four pillars of comprehensive development - institutional, physical,  social,  and  economic  infrastructure.  Projects  under  the  Mission, inter  alia,  include  development  of  Integrated  Command  &  Control  Centers (ICCCs),  Smart  Energy,  Smart  water  &  wastewater  infrastructure,  Smart Mobility,  Vibrant  Urban  Spaces  including  smart  streets,  etc.  Most  Smart Cities  have  addressed  issues  related  to  sustainable  development,  climate change,  disaster  preparedness,  mitigation  and  adaptation  as  part  of  their projects. Climate Smart Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF) was launched in 2019 as a mechanism to strengthen climate-sensitive development practices in cities.  The  results  of  CSCAF-2.0  are  available  at https://niua.org/c-cube/c-cube-documents .
