- (a) There is no proposal in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), at present, to bring the Namami Gange Programme under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
- (b)     Sanitation is a state subject. Government of India supplements the efforts  of  the  States  through  schematic  interventions/  advisories.  It provides  financial  and  technical  support  to  the  States  through  various Missions/  Schemes  such  as Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and  Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and AMRUT 2.0 to improve the basic infrastructure  in  urban  areas  which  inter  alia  include  sewerage  and septage management.

AMRUT 2.0 has been launched on 01 October, 2021 in all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/ cities, enabling the cities to become 'self-reliant' and 'water secure'. Providing universal coverage of sewerage and septage management  in  500  AMRUT  cities  is  one  of  the  major  focus  areas  of AMRUT 2.0. So far, 588 sewerage/septage projects worth ₹67, 840.59 crore have  been  approved  by  MoHUA.  Approved  projects  cover  6, 710.04  MLD sewage treatment capacity (new/augmentation). The State-wise details of STP under AMRUT 2.0 is given in Annexure-I.

Earlier,  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 for development of  basic  infrastructure  including  sewerage  and  septage  management. AMRUT was subsumed under  AMRUT  2.0  on  its  launch  on  1st  October 2021.

Under  AMRUT,  890  sewerage/  septage  management  projects  worth ₹34,460 crore  have  been  grounded  covering  creation/  augmentation  of 6,299 Million Litre per Day (MLD) sewage treatment capacity. The Statewise  details  of  Sewage  Treatment  Plant  (STP)  under  AMRUT  are  at Annexure-II.
