ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU) (a) to (d): ‘Land’ and ‘Colonisation’ are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related to housing, water, sanitation and other basic amenities for their citizens are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs) in their respective areas. However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements the efforts of States/UTs to provide transport, sanitation, water and housing in urban areas of the country including in Tier-II and Tier-III cities through various Missions, such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) & PMAY-U 2.0, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) & AMRUT 2.0, Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban (SBM-U) & SBM-U 2.0 and PM e-Bus Sewa. …2/--2- MoHUA has been implementing PMAY-U since 25.06.2015 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme period has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 ‘Housing for All’ Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across the country to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries including slum dwellers in next five years.

States/UTs and Cities have to develop suitable mechanisms for effective and efficient monitoring of the progress of Mission at various levels. The Ministry conducts regular review meetings with States/UTs to monitor the progress of the scheme to ensure the completion of houses and occupancy within the stipulated timeframe. The SBM-U benefits entire cities and is implemented across 4,910 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Funds are provided to States/UTs for constructing Community/Public Toilets (CT/PTs) and Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs). CTs and IHHLs primarily serve underprivileged households, while PTs cater to the general public and floating population. Under SBM-U 2.0, Central funds are released based on State/UT action plans approved by State Level Technical Committees and then passed on to ULBs. Funds are allocated for the full mission period, not annually. The total financial outlay for SBM-U 2.0 is ₹1,41,600 crore, including ₹36,465 crore as committed Central Assistance. By October 2019, all ULBs in 35 States/UTs were declared ODF following the construction of …3/--3- 63.81 lakh IHHLs (108% of target) and 6.36 lakh CT/PT seats (125% of target). Progress is regularly monitored through continuous interaction with State/UT officials, weekly expenditure reviews, and field visits by Central teams. Under AMRUT scheme, State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) amounting to ₹77,640 crore including committed Central Assistance of ₹36,035.79 crore have been approved for projects in all States/UTs for the entire Mission Period. So far, Central Assistance amounting to ₹34,900.97 crore has been released to States/UTs for AMRUT projects for water supply, sewerage & septage management, storm water drainage, green spaces & parks and non-motorized urban transport.
