'''Strategy of the Mission'''
====Strategy of the Mission====
 
(1) Preparing City Development Plan: Every city will be expected to formulate a City Development Plan (CDP) indicating policies, programmes and strategies, and financing plans.
 
(2) Preparing Projects: The CDP would facilitate identification of projects. The Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) / parastatal agencies will be required to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for undertaking projects in the identified spheres.
 
(3) Release and Leveraging of Funds: It is expected that the JNNURM assistance would serve to catalyse the flow of investment into the urban infrastructure sector across the country. Funds from the Central and State Government will flow directly to the nodal agency designated by the State, as grants-in-aid.
 
(4) Incorporating Private Sector Efficiencies: In order to optimise the life-cycle costs over the planning horizon, private sector efficiencies can be inducted in development, management, implementation and financing of projects, through Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.<ref>{{Cite web|last=NNVNS.ORG|date=2021-11-08|title=Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission [All Details]|url=https://www.nnvns.org/jawaharlal-nehru-national-urban-renewal-mission/|access-date=2021-11-29|language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Discrepancies in funding for small cities ===
Based on research conducted by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements, 65 cities were allocated 75% of the funding through JnNURM for projects related to Urban Infrastructure and [[Governance]] (UIG) and Basic Services for the [[Urban poor|Urban Poor]] (BSUP).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |first= |title=Urban India 2011: Evidence |url=https://iihs.co.in/knowledge-gateway/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IUC-Book_02-03-12-LOW-RES.pdf}}</ref> In contrast, 640 cities received the remaining 25% of funding for initiatives like the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) and the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT).<ref name=":0" />
Bigger cities received greater per capita investment under JnNURM compared to smaller cities. Moreover, while JnNURM encompassed all residents in cities with a population of one million or more, it only encompassed slightly over half of those in class I cities and less than half of those in classes II, III, and IV cities.<ref name=":0" /> According to JnNURM, none of the cities in classes V and VI were included. Larger cities have a greater proportion of urban population served by JnNURM compared to smaller cities.<ref name=":0" />

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) was a massive city-modernization scheme launched by the Government of India under the Ministry of Urban Development. It envisaged a total investment of over $20 billion over seven years. It was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. The scheme aimed to encourage reforms and fast-track planned development of identified cities. The focus was on efficiency in urban infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms, community participation, and accountability of urban local bodies and parastatal agencies towards citizens.[1] The scheme was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 3 December 2005[2].

Structure[edit | edit source]

Sub-missions[edit | edit source]

JNNURM primarily incorporates two sub-missions into its program:

Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) under JNNRUM for slum improvement and rehabilitation

In addition to this, it has two further components:[5]

  • The Sub-Mission for Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) administered by the Ministry of Urban Development, with a focus on subsuming the schemes of Integrated Development of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT) and Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme (AUWSP) which aim at planned urban infrastructural improvement in towns and cities under its purview.[6]
  • The Sub-Mission for Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) administered by Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA) was envisaged and brought into effect in 1993–94 in accordance with providing the entire population with safe and adequate water supply facilities. This sub-mission was mainly implemented in towns with populations less than 20,000 as per the 1991 census.[7]

Objectives[edit | edit source]

  • Focused attention relating to infrastructural services in the context of integrated development is to be covered under the mission.
  • Make efficient and increase self-sustaining capabilities of cities as per the sector proving infrastructural services by securing the linkages between asset creation and asset management[1]
  • Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in the urban infrastructural services.
  • Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, out growths, urban corridors, so that urbanization takes place in a dispersed manner.
  • Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on universal access to urban poor.
  • To take up urban renewal programme, i.e., re-development of inner (old) cities area to reduce congestion.[8]
  • Provision of basic services to the urban poor including security of tenure at affordable prices, improved housing, water supply and sanitation, and ensuring delivery of other existing universal services of the government for education, health and social security.

Duration[edit | edit source]

The duration of the mission was initially seven years beginning from December 2005. During this period, the mission sought to ensure sustainable development of participating cities. An evaluation of the experience of implementation of the mission would be undertaken before the end of the Eleventh Five Year Plan in 2012. The duration of the mission was extended by two more years: until 31 March 2014.[1]

funds are channeled through state-level agencies, where grants from the central and state governments are pooled and passed on as grants or soft loans to cities provided that they have prepared development strategies and that the investments identified fit within these strategies. The mission emphasises transparency and accountability. It supports public-private partnerships and cost recovery to make service providers financially self-sustaining.[4] The share of grant funding by the central government can vary from 35% in the largest cities to up to 90% in cities in the Northeast. Most cities receive grants covering 50% or 80% of costs depending on size.[9] Capacity building is also included in the mission to assist urban local bodies to prepare strategies and projects.

Currently, ten projects are covered by JNNURM funds pertaining to road network, storm water drains, bus rapid transit system, water supply, solid waste management, sewage treatment, river and lake improvement, slum improvement and rehabilitation, all fall under its scope.

Strategy of the Mission[edit | edit source]

  1. Preparing City Development Plan: Every city will be expected to formulate a City Development Plan (CDP) indicating policies, programmes and strategies, and financing plans.
  2. Preparing Projects: The CDP would facilitate identification of projects. The Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) / parastatal agencies will be required to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for undertaking projects in the identified spheres.
  3. Release and Leveraging of Funds: It is expected that the JNNURM assistance would serve to catalyse the flow of investment into the urban infrastructure sector across the country. Funds from the Central and State Government will flow directly to the nodal agency designated by the State, as grants-in-aid.
  4. Incorporating Private Sector Efficiencies: In order to optimise the life-cycle costs over the planning horizon, private sector efficiencies can be inducted in development, management, implementation and financing of projects, through Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.[1]

Expected Outcomes[edit | edit source]

  1. Modern and transparent budgeting, accounting, financial management systems, designed and adopted for all urban service and governance functions.
  2. City-wide framework for planning and governance will be established and become operational.
  3. All urban residents will be able to obtain access to a basic level of urban services.
  4. Financially self-sustaining agencies for urban governance and service delivery will be established, through reforms to major revenue instruments.
  5. Local services and governance will be conducted in a manner that is transparent and accountable to citizens.
  6. E-governance applications will be introduced in core functions of ULBs/Parastatal resulting in reduced cost and time of service delivery processes.[1]

Coverage[edit | edit source]

As per the JNNURM guidelines, only select cities/Urban Agglomerations (UAs) as per 2001 Census have been chosen for the implementation of the programme as per norms/criteria mentioned below:[8]

A Cities/UAs with 4 million plus population as per 2001 census 07
B Cities/UAs with 1 million plus but less than 4 million population as per 2001 census 28
C Selected cities/UAs (state capitals and other cities/UAs of religious/historic and touristic importance) 28

State level reforms[edit | edit source]

As of 2012 Gujarat led the tally for the state level reforms, being the only state to have achieved all 10 reforms required by the mission. Five states have achieved 9 out of 10 reforms: Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh.[10] Public disclosure and community participation laws have initially progressed slowly, with only five states managing to enact them as part of the reform agenda as of 2009.[11] However, as of 2012 community participation laws have been enacted by 22 out of 31 states, and public disclosure laws were enacted by 27 states. 20 states had decentralised the responsibility for water supply and sanitation from the state level to ULBs, and 19 had done so for city planning functions.[10]

City level reform of 2012[edit | edit source]

Visakhapatnam, Surat and Pune had the distinction of having accomplished all 8 city level reforms. Chennai, Greater Mumbai and Hyderabad had achieved 7 out of 8 reforms. Out of 67 cities, 30 had achieved the 90% target for property tax collection, 20 had achieved full operation and maintenance cost recovery for water supply and sanitation, but only 8 had achieved cost recovery for solid waste.[12]

Sanctioning of projects[edit | edit source]

As of 2009, 415 projects requiring an investment of 440 billion (US$6.2 billion), equivalent to half the total envisaged program amount, were approved. Among the states, Maharashtra has been sanctioned the maximum number of projects under the mission. Among cities, Bangalore has had the highest number of approved projects.[11]

Midterm appraisal[edit | edit source]

A midterm appraisal carried out in 2009 by the consulting firm Grant Thornton recommended to establish a single directorate for the ministries in charge of the mission; more involvement of city administrations in the preparation of city development plans that were prepared by consultants; broader stakeholder consultation during environmental and social impact assessments; the development of a national procurement manual; separation of the approval process for projects in two stages; financial support and capacity development for the implementation of reforms in addition to funding for infrastructure; the use of policies for public-private partnerships and pooled funding mechanisms at the state level, such as urban development funds that exist in Tamil Nadu and Orissa.[13]

Discrepancies in funding for small cities[edit | edit source]

Based on research conducted by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements, 65 cities were allocated 75% of the funding through JnNURM for projects related to Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG) and Basic Services for the Urban Poor (BSUP).[17] In contrast, 640 cities received the remaining 25% of funding for initiatives like the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) and the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT).[17]

Bigger cities received greater per capita investment under JnNURM compared to smaller cities. Moreover, while JnNURM encompassed all residents in cities with a population of one million or more, it only encompassed slightly over half of those in class I cities and less than half of those in classes II, III, and IV cities.[17] According to JnNURM, none of the cities in classes V and VI were included. Larger cities have a greater proportion of urban population served by JnNURM compared to smaller cities.[17]
