Information
The purpose of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is to:
Ensure that every household has access to a tap with the 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) and
Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling).
Eligibility
This is an open scheme and there is no eligibility required for the scheme.
Five hundred cities have been selected under AMRUT.
Application Procedure
The applicant need not apply for the scheme.
Projects will be executed by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).
In case the ULBs do not have adequate capacity to handle projects, the State Government may recommend in State Annual Action Plan (SAAP), upon a Resolution passed by the ULB, for the execution of the projects by specialized parastatal agencies of the State or Central Governments. Such arrangements should necessarily be executed by way of a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) amongst the State Government, the specialized Parastatal agencies and the concerned Municipality.
