## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to  (c):  As  per  the  provisions  of  Article  243W  of  the  Constitution,  in conjunction with the Seventh and Twelfth Schedules, matters relating to urban development fall within the purview of States/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) provides programmatic support to the States/Union Territories (UTs) in their urban development agenda through its various flagship Missions/Programmes viz.  Atal  Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation 2.0 (AMRUT 2.0),  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  -  Urban  2.0  (SBM  -  U  2.0),  Smart  Cities Mission (SCM), etc.

Through these Missions/Schemes, the Central Government approves the State Plans and provides the Central Assistance (CA) to the States. The projects are selected, designed, approved and executed by the States/UTs and the cities. The State Governments release funds to the cities/districts.

AMRUT: AMRUT was launched on 25 June 2015 in selected 500 cities (485 cities  including  15  merged  cities)  and  towns  across  the  country.  The Mission focuses 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 nonmotorized urban transport. AMRUT 2.0 was launched in the year 2021 in all  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.  Under  the  Mission,  States/UTs  are  empowered  to  select, appraise, propose and implement projects.

Under AMRUT, Punjab State has taken up 33 projects worth ₹608.28 crore in Fatehgarh Sahib Lok Sabha Constituency which include 11 water supply projects worth ₹81.01 crore, 16 sewerage/septage management projects worth  ₹523.57  crore  and  06  green  spaces  &  park  projects  worth  ₹3.7

crore. Details of Projects are attached at Annexure-I.

Under AMRUT 2.0 so far, 16 water supply projects with total project cost {including Operation & Maintenance (O&M) cost} have been  approved  in  Fatehgarh  Sahib  Lok  Sabha  Constituency.  Details  of approved projects  are  attached  at  Annexure-II.  Funds  under  AMRUT  &

of ₹450.77 crore AMRUT 2.0 are allocated/released/sanctioned to State/UTs, not town/citywise.

Under AMRUT, against the committed CA of ₹1,204.47 crore for projects, ₹1,190.77 crore has been released to Punjab State. Under  AMRUT 2.0, against the committed CA of ₹1,836 crore for projects, ₹329.69 crore has been released/sanctioned to Punjab State.

SBM-U: Sanitation is a state subject under 7th schedule of the constitution.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  State/ULBs  to  plan,  design  and execute  sanitation projects in the  urban  areas  of  the  concerned States/UTs. Under SBM-U 2.0 Central Share of funds are released to the States/UTs and not to the cities/constituencies. Hence, details in respect of Fatehgarh Sahib Lok Sabha Constituency including Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib, Mandi Gobindgarh and Bassi Pathana are not maintained at Ministry level.

To  supplement  the  efforts  of  States/UTs,  SBM-U  2.0  was  launched  on 01.10.2021  with  a  vision  of  achieving  Garbage  Free  Status  for  all ULBs/cities in the country through 100% source segregation, door to door collection and scientific management of all fractions of waste.

As reported by the State of Punjab on the Swachhatam Portal, out of 3,199 total wards in the State, 3,194 wards (99.84%) are practicing door to door collection and 3,165 wards (98.94%) are practising source segregation. Out of 4,022 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) waste generated in the State, a total of 3,833 TPD (95.32%) of waste is being processed.  ULB-wise details of progress under SBM-U can be accessed at https://www.sbmurban.org/swachh-bharat-mission-progess.

Under SBM-U 2.0 (20212026), ₹1 ,054.20 crores have been allocated to State of Punjab, out of which ₹294.20 crores have been earmarked for Solid  Waste  Management  (SWM).  Further,  action  plans  worth  ₹893.52 crores having central share of ₹293.29 crores has so far been approved under  SWM  component  of  SBM-U  2.0.  It  includes  action  plan  for remediation of 53.89 lakh ton of legacy waste, waste to composting plants of  600  TPD,  bio-methanation  plants  of  1,544  TPD,  Material  Recovery Facilities (MRFs) of 597 TPD, Waste to Electricity (WtE) plants of 831 TPD, Sanitary  Landfill  (SLF)  of  680  TPD,  Construction  and  Demolition  (C&D) plant, of  374  TPD and 20 mechanical road sweepers. Details of all the projects under SBM-U reported by State of Punjab are available at SBM-U, MoHUA portal https://sbmurban.org/swachh-bharat-mission-progess.
