## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f):   Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) was launched on 25 June 2015 in selected 500 cities (485 cities including 15 merged cities) and towns across the country. The Mission was focused on development of basic infrastructure, in the selected cities and towns, in the sectors of water supply; sewerage and septage management; storm water  drainage;  green  spaces  and  parks;  and  non-motorized  urban transport.

Under AMRUT, States/ Union Territories  (UTs)  were  empowered  to select, appraise, prioritise and implement the projects. The States/ Union Territories  (UTs)  have  grounded  6,000  projects  worth  ₹83,493.22  crore under AMRUT, of which works worth around ₹81,177 .67 crore have been physically completed. These projects include 1,403 water supply projects worth  ₹43,378.59  crore,  889  sewerage/septage  management  projects worth ₹34,471.1 crore, 838 drainage projects worth ₹3,017.13 crore, 348 non-motorised urban transp ort projects worth ₹1,022.27 crore and 2,522 green spaces & park projects worth ₹1,604.13 crore.

Through  AMRUT/  AMRUT  2.0  and  in  convergence  with  the  States, around  246  lakh  water  tap  connections  in  the  urban  areas  have  been provided, 93,457.51 km of water pipeline network has been laid/ replaced and 5,429 Million Litre per Day (MLD) water treatment capacity have been created so far. In the sewage and septage management sector, around 182 lakh  sewer  connections  (including  households  covered  through  Faecal Sludge  and  Septage  Management  (FSSM))  have  been  provided  so  far through  AMRUT/  AMRUT  2.0  and  in  convergence  in  AMRUT  Cities, 26,995.61 km of sewer network has been laid/ replaced completed and 5,178 MLD sewage treatment capacity has been created. As reported by the State/ UTs, the total number of households covered with new/ serviced water tap connections and sewer connections so far, State-wise including Maharashtra, are given in Annexure.

Through the grounded green spaces and park projects under AMRUT, 5,286 acres of permeable green space area have been developed so far. Under NonMotorised Urban Transport component of AMRUT, 431.14 km of pedestrian walkways and 43.2 km of cycle track has been created.

(g): The Mission guidelines have specific provisions for formation of State High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the State, to monitor and supervise the implementation of the scheme at the State/ UT level. State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) headed by the  Secretary,  Urban  Development  &  Housing  Department  provides technical support to the SHPSC in monitoring and supervising the scheme at the State level. Further, an Apex Committee constituted under the ambit of Mission guidelines reviews and monitor the Mission periodically. Also, in order to fast-track the completion of projects, the progress is periodically reviewed  &  monitored  through  regular  video  conferences/  webinars/ workshops/  site-visits  etc.  by  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA)  with  the  States/  UTs.  There  is  a  dedicated  online  portal  for tracking the progress and monitoring of projects by the States/ UTs.
