Infrastructure in Cities/Towns

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) was launched on 3^rd December, 2005 with the objective of reforms driven and fast track development of cities across the country, with focus on bringing about efficiency in urban infrastructure, service delivery mechanisms, community participation and accountability of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and Parastatal agencies towards citizens. 65 Cities based on population as per 2001 census are covered under the Urban Infrastructure & Governance (UIG) component of JnNURM. Details as annexed. The remaining cities are eligible for Additional Central Assistance (ACA) under Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) subject to availability of funds. This was stated by the Minister of State for Urban Development, Shri Saugata Roy in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

            It was proposed to include the following 28 cities/urban agglomerations with population of 5 lakh and above under the UIG component of JnNURM:-

S.No.	Name of the State	Name of Town
1	Andhra Pradesh	Guntur Warangal
2	Chattisgarh	Durg- Bhilai Nagar
3	Gujarat	Bhavnagar Jamnagar
4	Karnataka	Belgaum Hubli-Dharwad Mangalore
5	Kerala	Kozhikode
6	Madhya Pradesh	Gwalior
7	Maharashtra	Amravati Aurangabad Bhiwandi Kolhapur Solapur
8	Orissa	Cuttak
9	Punjab	Jalandhar
10	Rajasthan	Bikaner Jodhpur Kota
11	Tamilnadu	Salem Tiruchirappalli Tiruppur
12	Uttar Pradesh	Aligarh  Bareilly Ghaziabad Gorakhpur Moradabad

On account of resource constraints,  the Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance could not agree to include these cities under UIG of JnNURM.  JnNURM aims to leverage and incorporate private sector efficiencies in development, management, implementation and financing of projects, through Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements, wherever  appropriate.   Encouraging private partnership for provision of various services is one of the key reforms to be undertaken by the States/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) under the Mission. To achieve this, cities are to undertake a number of reforms aimed at improvement of municipal governance and financial sustainability. The Mission Directorate has prepared and circulated a “Toolkit for analysis of Urban Infrastructure Projects for Public-Private-Partnerships under JnNURM”. This toolkit contains a simple checklist for the ULB functionaries to determine whether the project is amenable to PPP. The Mission Directorate has also provided support to select cities to operationalise  the toolkit.
