The Government launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) on December 3, 2005 aimed at provision of city-wide infrastructure and basic services to the urban poor especially slum dwellers. Under the Basic Services for the Urban Poor (BSUP) component of JNNURM, Additional Central Assistance is provided to States/Union Territories for undertaking affordable housing and related infrastructure facilities in 65 select cities including major metro cities. Other cities/towns are covered under Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP). The details of funds allocated by the Government for Mission Period (2005-2012) under BSUP and IHSDP are annexed.
The details of funds spent/un-spent funds under BSUP and IHSDP are as under:
(Rs. Crore)
Scheme | Central share released | Utilization Certificates submitted | Balance for which UCS need to be submitted |
BSUP | 6281.36 | 3297.14 | 2984.22 |
IHSDP | 3732.01 | 797.49 | 2934.52 |
Total | 10013.37 | 4094.63 | 5918.74 |
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation undertakes periodic review of all Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) projects through review meetings at State, Regional and National level. In addition, a Mid-term appraisal study of the 11th Plan by the Planning Commission, which covers implementation of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) among other things, reveals that there is a renewed focus on the urban sector across the country due to schemes like JNNURM, which has allowed States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to raise their aspirations. However, the need to raise capacity and investment resources is substantial.
