JAGDAMBIKA PAL, New Delhi; Chairperson, 11th September, 2020 Standing Committee on 20 Bhadrapada, 1942 (Saka) Urban Development 1 Chapter-I (Report) This Report of the Standing Committee on Urban Development (2019-20) deals with action taken by the Government on the Observations/ Recommendations contained in the Second Report (Seventeenth Lok Sabha) on Demands for Grants (2020-21) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs which was presented to the Parliament on 03 March, 2020. 2 Action Taken Replies have been received from the Government in respect of all the 27 recommendations contained in the Report. These have been categorized as follows: (i) Recommendations/Observations which have been accepted by the Government: 1,2,3,5,9,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 and 21. (Total 14) (Chapter-II) (ii) Recommendations/Observations, which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of Government's replies: 4 (Total 1) (Chapter-III) (iii) Recommendations/Observations, in respect of which replies of Government have not been accepted by the Committee: 6 (Total 1) (Chapter-IV) (iv) Recommendations/Observations, in respect of which final replies of the Government are still awaited: 7,8,10,11,12,22,23,24,25,26 and 27. (Total 11) (Chapter-V) 2 3 The Committee desire that specific replies to the comments contained in Chapter-I and recommendations included in Chapter V of this Report may be furnished at the earliest and in any case not later than three month from the presentation of this Report. 4 The Committee will now deal with and comment upon the action taken by the Government on some of their recommendations. (Recommendations Serial No. 1) STRENGTHENING RESPONSE AND STRATEGY FOR ACHIEVING THE GOAL OF 5 MILLION ECONOMY BY 2024 RETREATED IN VIEW OF POSSIBLY SLOW DOWN OF ECONOMY ARISING OUT OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS 5 The Committee had recommended: “The Committee’s examination of Demands for Grants (2020-21) of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs that seeks to propose a gross provision of Rs.57,786 Cr and net provision of Rs. 50,039 cr. deducting anticipated recoveries is within Ministry’s vision of providing ease of living, responsive governance etc is part of Government’s response to urbanization challenges by way of implementation of prominent flagship programmes of PMAY (U), SCM, SBM (U) and DAY-NULM through a Three Level Strategy addressing three big issues of ‘Poverty Alleviation’, ‘Affordable Housing’ and ‘Cleanliness’ and also covering the areas of Water Supply, Sewerage and Improving infrastructure, so that urban India can play an important role in achieving $5 Trillion Economy target by 2024. The Committee however feel that in the light of 2030 development agenda of the United Nations with emphasis on sustainable cities and in view of rising urbanization trends witnessing as high as 53 cities with more than one million plus population, both the response of the Government and strategy available need to be strengthened for achieving the intended goals. The Committee therefore recommend that extra efforts are needed to materialise intended goals”. 6 The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in their action taken reply stated as under: “From May 2014 onwards, Government embarked on one of the most comprehensive programme of urbanization. Critical issue of higher funding required for urban infrastructure was addressed by substantial increase in budgetary allocation under various schemes launched from 2014-15 onwards. The 3 annual average Budgetary allocations during the preceding 10 year period(2004- 05 to 2013-14) was around 15,800 crore, which has now increased to around Rs. 47,000crore i.e. more than three times. Taking into account the investment made in Urban Sector in past 6 years, Budgetary allocation for 2020-21 and the projected investment of Rs.17,74,167 Cr. on urban infrastructure in the National Infrastructure Pipeline, MoHUA is targeted to contribute to achieve the goal of five trillion dollar economy by 2024. Scheme-wise details are given below:- (i) Swachha Bharat Mission – SBM(U) The cleanliness initiative that began under the SBM (U) has shown impressive success. In order to sustain the results on the ground on a long term basis and institutionalize the concept of ‘swachhata’ or cleanliness, it is proposed to extend the SBM (U) for another 5 years. This extension has been proposed with a projected financial outlay of Rs. 2,11,869 crores, covering sustainable sanitation value chain (toilet construction, maintenance, complete fecal sludge management and waste water treatment) and Solid Waste Management value chain (including complete processing of Municipal Solid Waste, Construction & Demolition waste management and remediation of legacy dumpsites), to ensure holistic cleanliness across Urban India. (ii) Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) Jal Jeevan Mission (Urban) is being proposed with major objective of providing tap water connection to households in all statutory towns. Total allocation proposed for this is Rs. 2,79,500 crore including central share of Rs. 78,800 crore. Public Private Partnership (PPP) is being encouraged under the Mission for implementation of projects wherein cities having million plus population will be mandated to take up PPP projects worth minimum of 10% of their total project allocation. (iii) Smart Cities Mission Smart Cities Mission (SCM) is committed to complete Rs. 2,05,018 crore worth of projects giving 5 years to each city from the date of selection.

  • Improving Public Transport in India; Part Ii
    IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN INDIA; PART II An Overview in Pictures on advisable Rolling Stocks for Light Rail and Regional Rapid Transit - the Future of Mobility in India with Urban Rail By Dr. F.A. Wingler, Germany, April 2020 INTRODUCTION With a massive drive, India is on the way to provide MOBILITY as a SERVICE, MaaS, and to mitigate its often chaotic Urban Transport Environments. Investing in METRO- RAIL alone – although deployed in India in a large scale – does not solve the transport and traffic problems in congested areas. “Urban Rail” is a technical collective term encompassing Metro Rail, Commuter Rail, Light Metro, Light Rail Transit (“Metro-Lite”), Regional Rapid Transit and (Ultra) Very Light Rail Vehicles. India is proceeding to integrate Metro-Rail, Commuter Rail and Governmental Indian Railways within multimodal urban, suburban, interurban and regional public transport schemes by Hubs with LIGHT-METRO, LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, METRO-LITE and REGIONAL RAPID (Semi-High Speed) TRANSITS, RRTS. With Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite there is in India the aspect of INTEROPERABILITY of Light Rail Transit/Metro-Lite with Metro Rail sharing track, lines and infrastructure as TRAM-METRO-TRAIN within a comprehensive Urban Rail Concept. Other affiliated transport modes to be connected and integrated are Rubber Tyred Bus Rapid Transit, BRT or METRO-NEO, WATER-METRO and Aerial METRO ROPEWAY: 1 Artist`s Concept for Dehradun Metro Ropeway; by F.A. Wingler The cost effective METRO-LITE can be regarded as the “YOUNGER SISTER OF METRO-RAIL”, and REGIONAL RAPID TRANSIT as the “FASTER BROTHER OF METRO RAIL”. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT, LRT, WITH LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES, LRV The origin for LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT or “METRO-LITE” is based on electric City Trams, that started worldwide at begin of the last century.
