A total of 80 projects worth Rs 4.06 billion have been completed in three cities of Jammu and Kashmir under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) mission, while the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) the government has asked for the territory of the Union to ensure the rapid implementation of 24 other works, for which contracts have already been awarded.
AMRUT was launched in 2015 in 500 cities and towns across the country, and in Jammu and Kashmir there are three such cities: Jammu, Srinagar and Anantnag. The focus of the mission is on the development of basic infrastructure in areas such as water supply, sewage and septum management, rainwater drainage, green spaces and parks and non-motorized urban transport. According to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs document on the progress of AMRUT projects, in the three mission cities of Jammu and Kashmir, apart from the 80 completed projects, contracts for works worth Rs 1.94 billion have been awarded.
AMRUT has been extended to meet its goal and is under AMRUT 2.0 until March 31, 2023, and States/UTs must complete AMRUT projects by this date. AMRUT 2.0 was launched in October 2021 for a period of five years, from 2021-22 to 2025-26.
