Answer:
In the urban sector, the provision of amenities and basic services, viz., water supply,sewerage and urban transport in cities which improve the quality of life for all, and especially the poor and the disadvantaged is a national priority. It is considered that along with infrastructure creation, the last mile connectivity such as providing taps and toilet connections to all households would have a direct impact on the real needs of the people.
To ensure these objectives, Government of India has launched an ambitious mission “Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)” in June, 2015 covering 500 towns which has a population of 100,000 and more. . The AMRUT Mission aims to achieve the following:
- Every household has an access to tap with assured supply of water and sewerage connection;
- Increase amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained parks;
- Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorised transport like cycling and walking.In other words, the Mission focuses on the following thrust areas:
- Water supply
- Sewerage facilities and septage management
- Storm water drains
- Pedestrian, non-motorised public transport facilities, parking spaces; and
- Creating and upgrading open spaces, parks and recreation centres.
These outcomes could be valued by all citizens, particularly women and children; and the standards and indicators would meet the Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs) prescribed by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) in 2011. To sustain the created infrastructure, the Mission Towns need to implement a set of reforms (11) proposed by the Government.
