AMRUT Scheme Guidelines - Summary

Ensuring basic services like water supply, sewerage, and urban transport for households, while enhancing amenities in cities to improve the quality of life for everyone, especially the poor and disadvantaged, is a vital focus of the AMRUT Scheme. According to the High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) in 2011, a comprehensive estimate indicated that a whopping Rs. 39.2 lakh crore is required to boost urban infrastructure over 20 years, based on 2009-10 prices. This includes Rs. 17.3 lakh crore allocated for urban roads and Rs. 8 lakh crore aimed at essential services like water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, and stormwater drainage. Additionally, the estimated need for Operation and Maintenance (O&M) is Rs. 19.9 lakh crore.

Key Focus Areas of the AMRUT Scheme

The Mission will concentrate on several important areas:

Water supply,
Sewerage facilities and septage management,
Stormwater drains to minimize flooding,
Facilities for pedestrian, non-motorized, and public transport, including parking spaces, and
Improving the amenity value of cities by creating and upgrading green spaces, parks, and recreation centers, particularly for children.
