ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (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. …2/--2- 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 non- motorized 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.

Under AMRUT 2.0 so far, 16 water supply projects with total project cost of ₹450.77 crore {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 & AMRUT 2.0 are allocated/released/sanctioned to State/UTs, not town/city- wise. 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. …3/--3- 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.
