No. 2830

SHRI NANDI YELLAIAH:

Will the Minister of HOUSING AND URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION be pleased to state:

(a) the details of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and its modes  of  implementation  and  main  lapses  detected  so  far  during  its implementation under Medak and Mahbubnagar Parliamentary Constituencies of Telangana State; and

(b) the losses incurred and detected so far and necessary action taken in this regard?

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION

(SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

(a): Government  of  India  launched  the  Jawaharlal  Nehru  National  Urban

Renewal Mission (JNNURM) on 3rd December, 2005 for assisting States/UTs in providing housing and basic civic facilities like water, sanitation etc. to urban poor/ slum dwellers initially in 65 select cities under the Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) and in other cities and towns, under Integrated Housing and Slum Development  Programme  (IHSDP). Government  has recently extended the Mission period upto 31.03.2017 for completing on-going work only on the projects sanctioned upto 31.03.2012.

Under  JNNURM,  a  total  of  1512  projects  with  a  total  project  cost  of  Rs. 32,815.00 crore involving Central share of Rs. 17,495.75 crore for construction of  12,50,741 houses have been approved.  Till now, construction of 9,83,704

houses have been completed of which 7,67,544 houses are now occupied.

No lapses have been detected so far during implementation of JNNURM under Medak and Mahbubnagar Parliamentary Constituencies of Telangana State.

(b): No  losses  have  been  reported  under  JNNURM  so  far.      There  has, however, been delay in completing some projects due to reluctance of slum dwellers to shift temporarily in case of in-situ development of project and nonavailability of encumbrance free land, resulting in cost overruns.

The Ministry, however, reviews of the status of ongoing projects under these schemes on basis of Quarterly and Monthly Progress Reports submitted by States/UTs and also in the meetings of Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee  (CSMC)  and  review  meetings  at  the  level  of  Secretary  (HUPA). Through  these  reviews,    State/UT    Governments  have  been  advised  to complete  the    ongoing    projects  as  early  as  possible  within  the  extended period of JNNURM i.e. by 31.03.2017, submit plan of action for completion of ongoing projects, plan for 100% occupancy and project completion certificates.
