AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation)

  • The scheme was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in June 2015 under Ministry of Urban Development with the focus of the urban renewal projects is to establish infrastructure that could ensure adequate robust sewerage networks and water supply for urban transformation. The scheme is dependent with public private partnership model (PPP) model.

    Purpose

    • Ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water and a sewerage connection
    • Increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces (e.g. parks)
    • Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling).

    All these outcomes are valued by citizens, particularly women, and indicators and standards have been prescribed by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) in the form of Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs).

    Thrust Areas

    • Water supply
    • Sewerage facilities and Septage management
    • Storm water drains to reduce flooding
    • Pedestrian, non-motorized and public transport facilities, parking spaces
    • Enhancing amenity value of cities by creating and upgrading green spaces, parks and recreation centers, especially for children.

    Since GMDA, Jal Board are involved in number of water supply projects hence no project is submitted for water supply. On the basis of mandatory component Parks & Open Spaces SLIP has been proposed.
