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
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 non-motorized urban
transport. As reported by the State/ Union Territories (UTs) on AMRUT
Portal, against the approved plan size of ₹77,640 crore, 6,010 projects
worth ₹83,483 crore have been taken up.
…2/--2-
Under AMRUT Mission in convergence with the States, 189 lakh
water tap connections (new/ serviced) have been provided against the
target of 139 lakh; 149 lakh sewer connections (new/ serviced) (including
households covered through Faecal Sludge and Septage Management-
FSSM) provided against the target of 145 lakh; Sewer network of 21,753
kilometers and water supply network of 73,519 kilometers have been
constructed; 4,622 Million Litre Per Day (MLD) Sewerage Treatment
Capacity (STP) and 4,933 Million Litre Per Day (MLD) Water Treatment
Capacity (WTP) have been developed; 1,456 kilometers length of drains
have been constructed resulting in eliminating 3,759 numbers of water
logging points; 5,092 acres of Green space, 430 km pedestrian/ walkway
and 43 km of cycle track have been developed. State-wise tap & sewer
connections provided (including Maharashtra) under AMRUT &
Convergence are given in ANNEXURE I & ANNEXURE II respectively.
(g) to (i): So far, as reported by the State/ Union Territories (UTs) on
AMRUT Portal, under AMRUT works worth ₹80,103 crore have been
physically completed.
AMRUT guidelines have 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. For
assessment and monitoring of work done under AMRUT in the States/ UTs,
there is a provision of Independent Review and Monitoring Agencies
(IRMAs). Funds are released to the States/ UTs upon satisfactory
compliance of IRMA reports. Also, in order to fast-track the
implementation of AMRUT, the progress is periodically reviewed and
monitored through regular video conferences/ webinars/ workshops/ site-
visits etc. by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) with the
States/ UTs and ULBs. There is a dedicated AMRUT online portal for
tracking the progress and project-wise outcomes of provisions of water
tap connections provided by the States/ UTs. Further, NITI Aayog had
conducted a review in June 2020 on the evaluation of Centrally Sponsored
Schemes in the Urban Transformation Sector, including AMRUT. The study
assessed key parameters such as coverage, incorporation of universal
design, gender mainstreaming, pro-poor design, migration, and beneficiary
targeting. The performance under the scheme was reported satisfactory
as it aims to improve the quality of life of all including the poor and
disadvantaged.
