## ANSWER

THE MINISTER FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT

(SHRI M VENKAIAH NAIDU)

(a) to (e) : A Statement is laid on the table of the House.

## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *19 FOR 24.02.2016 REGARDING AMRUT AND HRIDAY.

- (a) The details of Central Assistance sanctioned and released (up to 20.02.2016) under AMRUT and HRIDAY are at annexure-I and II.
- (b) Under the AMRUT, the Mission Guidelines provide for approval by
- the  Central  Government  of  State  Annual  Action  Plan  of  each State/UT against allocation made to them out of funds available in the Mission. The State/UT Governments appraise and approve the  individual  projects  to  be  taken  up  in  various  cities/sectors after  selecting  them  by  following  the  principles  of  prioritization specified in the Guidelines.

The details of projects taken up under HRIDAY are at annexureII.

- (c) Yes, Madam. The AMRUT incentivizes accomplishment of reforms by setting aside 10% of annual budgetary allocation from second year onwards to be given as incentive. The Mission also provides a penalty clause impressing upon the States to release the Central Assistance (CA) along with State share to the ULBs within  seven  working  days  of  release  of  Central  share  failing which  interest  at  the  rate  specified  by  the  Ministry  of  Finance shall be levied on the State and also appropriate deduction made from future installments. There is no incentive or penalty clause under HRIDAY.
- (d) Yes,  Madam.  The  AMRUT  mandates  States/UTs  to  explore  the possibility of using Public Private Partnership (PPP) for funding, execution, operation/ maintenance of projects by State Governments.  The  model  is  expected  to  include  appropriate service level agreements and citizen feedback system built into it.  The  model  is  likely  to  attract  private  investments  in  urban sector,  improve  efficiency  and  also  make  the  projects  self sustaining  in  operation  and  maintenance.  HRIDAY  does  not provide for PPP in projects.
- (e) AMRUT  envisages  coverage  of  500  cities/towns  in  accordance with  the  criteria  specified.  The  Guidelines  also  provides  for notification  of  list  of  cities  at  appropriate  time.  Presently,  497 cities/towns have been identified for coverage under the Mission. Under HRIDAY, 12 cities have been identified. Presently, there is no proposal to include more cities.
