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

(a) to (c): Sanitation is State subject; and setting up and management of Sewerage Treatment Plants (STP)/ sewerage system is the responsibility  of  the  State  Governments  and  concerned  Urban  Local Bodies  (ULBs)/  Urban  Development  Authorities.  Government  of  India supplements the efforts of the States through schematic interventions/ advisories.  It  provides  financial  and  technical  support  to  the  States through various Mission/ Schemes such as Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation 2.0 (AMRUT 2.0).

The State Government of Telangana has requested the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) for financing the project regarding Comprehensive Sewerage Master Plan for Hyderabad city to lay sewer network  covering the core city, peripheral circles  and  27  ULBs surrounding Hyderabad at a cost of ₹17,212.69 crore, under AMRUT 2.0 or as a special project.

Under AMRUT 2.0, States/ Union Territories (UTs) are empowered to  select,  appraise,  prioritise  and  implement  the  projects.  State  Level Technical Committee (SLTC) headed by the Secretary, Urban Development & Housing Department provides technical support to the State High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the State, to approve, monitor and supervise the implementation of the scheme at the State level. On recommendation of the  SHPSC,  Apex  Committee  of  Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA)  approves  projects  within  the  broad  framework  of  Mission. Further, under AMRUT 2.0 the total outlay of the Mission for the projects has been allocated to the States/Union Territories (UTs) at the beginning of the Mission, based on the urban population (as per Census 2011) and geographical area of the States/ UTs. The total central allocation (CA) for the State of Telangana under this Mission is ₹2,789 crore.

The State Water Action Plans (SWAPS) of Telangana under AMRUT 2.0  comprising  of  252  projects  with  total  cost  of  ₹9,584.26  crore (including  admissible  CA  of  ₹2,788.03  crore)  has  been  approved  by Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs,  which  includes  3  sewerage/ septage  management  projects  worth  ₹3,849.10  crore  (including  ₹645 crore of CA), in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
