**(SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)**

| (a): Yes Madam. The Mission Guidelines are available on the Ministry’s web-site (  [www.moud.gov.in](http://www.moud.gov.in/)  ).  (b):  Under the Smart City Mission, the selection process of Smart Cities is based on the idea of Competitive and Co-operative Federalism and follows a Challenge process. In stage-1 potential Smart Cities are selected by States through an intra-state competition thereafter the shortlisted potential Smart Cities participate in Stage-2 of the competition. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development giving a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of Smart Solutions to improve services and infrastructure.  Five hundred cities are covered under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). The Mission Cities under AMRUT will soon be announced based on norms given in AMRUT Guidelines. The AMRUT will support provision of basic urban infrastructure.   The components of the AMRUT are water supply, sewerage and septage management, storm water drainage, urban transport and development of green spaces and parks etc.  P-5/-  ..5..   |
