1. Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is a development mission launched by the Government of India in 25 June 2015 with the focus to establish infrastructure that could ensure adequate robust sewage networks and water supply for urban transformation by implementing urban revival projects. AMRUT stands for Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation. It is a national urban renewal program . The scheme aims to improve the quality of life in urban areas . It provides basic amenities such as water supply , sewerage , and stormwater drainage . It also aims to improve the urban environment by promoting green spaces and public transportation . It comes under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs of the Government of India in compliance with the Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

2. Objectives of AMRUT Scheme Access to Tap water & Sewage Connection: To ensure that every household has access to a tap with an assured supply of water and a sewerage connection . Maintaining Greenery: To Increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well-maintained open spaces (e.g. parks) Reduction in pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). Setting up Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs): All these outcomes are valued by citizens , particularly women , and indicators and standards have been prescribed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs ( MoHUA ) in the form of Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs). Prerequisite Objective: The Priority zone of the Mission is water supply followed by sewerage .

3. Components of AMRUT Mission The AMRUT’s components include capacity building , reform implementation , water supply , s sewerage , and septage management , stormwater drainage , urban transportation , and the development of parks and green spaces . The Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will make an effort to incorporate some smart features in the physical infrastructure components during the planning process. Water Supply Water supply systems including augmentation of existing water supply , water treatment plants , and universal metering . Rehabilitation of old water supply systems , including treatment plants . Rejuvenation of water bodies specifically for drinking water supply and recharging of groundwater . Special water supply arrangement for difficult areas, hill, and coastal cities, including those having water quality problems (e.g. arsenic, fluoride)

4. Sewerage Decentralised , networked underground sewerage systems which include augmentation of existing sewerage systems and sewage treatment plants. Rehabilitation of old sewerage system and treatment plants. Reusing wastewater and recycling water for beneficial purposes. Storm Water Drainage To lessen and eventually eliminate flooding, stormwater drainage systems are being constructed and improved.

5. Urban Transport Footpaths/ walkways, sidewalks, foot over-bridges, and facilities for non motorized transport (e.g. bicycles). Multi-level parking. Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) Green space/parks Creation of green space and parks with unique features for young people, the elderly, and Divyang -friendly components.

6. Eligibility for Amrut Mission Here are the eligibility criteria for the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation scheme: The AMRUT scheme is eligible for cities and towns with a population of over one lakh (100,000) as per the 2011 census . The AMRUT scheme is also eligible for the capital cities of states and union territories . The scheme is also eligible for heritage cities that have been identified by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs . The AMRUT scheme is also eligible for cities that are located on the banks of major rivers . The scheme is also eligible for cities with tourist potential .

7. Performance of AMRUT Phase I There have been 1.1 crore connections for household faucets and 85 lakh for sewer or septage systems. 1,210 Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) of the 6,000 MLD treatment capacity for sewage is now in place, and 907 MLD of the processed sewage can be recycled. 3,600 acres have been transformed into 1,820 parks, and another 1,800 acres are being planted in vegetation. 1,700 flooding points have already been removed. In 470 cities, credit rating work has been finished. 36 of these have an Investable Grade Rating (IGR) of A- or higher, making 164 of these cities Investable Grade Rated (IGR) cities.

8. AMRUT 2.0 AMRUT 2.0 scheme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 1 October 2021. The Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation 2.0 (AMRUT 2.0) is established in order to achieve (SDG 6) and expand the ease of living in the water sector from 500 to all statutory towns. By 2030, Sustainable Development Goal 6.4 intends to significantly improve water usage efficiency across all sectors, ensure sustainable freshwater withdrawals, and significantly reduce the number of people who experience water scarcity. It will also guarantee that 500 AMRUT cities have complete coverage of sewage/sewage management.

9. Name: United Nations Human Settlements Programme. Year of Formation: 1978 Headquarter: Nairobi, Kenya Sector: Urbanization and Development Is India a Member: Yes In 2019, India was elected to the Executive Board of the first UN-Habitat Assembly United Nations Human Settlements Programme

10. United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) The United Nations Human Settlements Programme outlined the mandate of the organization are the Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements, Habitat Agenda, Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements, the Declaration on Cities and Other Human Settlements in the New Millennium, and Resolution 56/206. UN-Habitat works in partnership with governments , international organizations , UN agencies , civil society groups , foundations, academic institutions , and the commercial sector to solve the problems of urbanization and provide long-lasting outcomes. The operational activity of UN-Habitat takes many forms of technical support , building on its particular experience in sustainable urbanization and disaster response . Projects are carried out by UN-Habitat to offer nations value-added and specialized assistance.

11. Through information, policy guidance, technical aid, and cooperative action, UN-Habitat works in over 90 countries to create transformational change in cities and human settlements. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all . The new strategic plan for UN-Habitat, 2020-2023, takes a more strategic and comprehensive approach to address the possibilities and problems faced by cities and other human settlements in the twenty-first century.

12. UN-Habitat Assembly The UN-Habitat Assembly is an international assembly comprised of the United Nations’ 193 member nations that meet every four years. The inaugural session of the UN-Habitat Assembly will be held from May 27 to May 31, 2019, at the UN-Habitat headquarters in Nairobi , Kenya, with the subject Innovation for Better Quality of Life in Cities and Communities. The UN-Habitat Assembly is responsible for: Review the main urbanization and human settlement trends. Examine international guidelines and criteria for sustainable urbanization and human habitation. Adopt resolutions, declarations, recommendations, official decisions, reports, and other paperwork relating to political and strategic direction in line with its mission.

13. The outcome of the UN-Habitat Assembly Contributions of more than $152 million towards making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, by the member countries. Communities, cities or towns that improve their solid waste management and reduce their waste management expenditure will be publicly recognised as ‘Waste-Wise Cities ’. The initiative asks communities, cities and towns around the world to “rethink, reduce, recycle, refuse and reuse waste”. The strategic plan of the UN human settlements programme for the period 2020–2025 is presented. The plan aims to advance sustainable urbanisation as a driver of development and peace, to improve living conditions for all.

14. Participating nations also presented their statements on efforts to promote the New Urban Agenda (NUA) and sustainable urban development.
