## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION [SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO]

(a) & (b): As  per  the  information  received  from  the  States/UTs,  as  on 29.02.2016, a total of 770 shelters have been sanctioned by 20 States/UTs under the scheme namely 'Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH)', a component  of  Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Urban  Livelihoods Mission.  A  statement  showing  the  State/UT-wise  details  of  the  shelters sanctioned under SUH since its inception is at Annexure I.

CONT….

(c): It  is  the  primary  responsibility  of  the  State  Governments  to  provide shelter  for  the  Urban  Homeless  people.    In  order  to  complement  and supplement  the  efforts  of  the  State/  UT  Governments,  the  Ministry  of Housing  &  Urban  Poverty  Alleviation  is  implementing  a  scheme  namely 'Shelter for Urban Homeless  (SUH)' as a component  of Deendayal Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Urban  Livelihoods  Mission  for  providing permanent  shelters  with  basic  facilities  to  urban  homeless.    Under  this component, Government of India provides 60% of the cost of construction/refurbishment  of  the  shelters  and  40%  would  be  the  State contribution.    In  case  of    North  Eastern  and  Special  Category  States (Arunachal  Pradesh,  Assam,  Manipur,  Meghalaya,  Mizoram,  Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand), this ratio will be 90:10.  Central Government also provides 60% or 90% of the O & M cost as the case may be, for each shelter for the period of first 5 years of operation.

(d):  The  Ministry  is  constantly  pursuing  with  the  States/UTs  for  effective implementation of the scheme and timely completion of the projects.
