Saugata Roy raises Question on JNNURM Scheme | Transcript
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission was a mission mode, reform linked programme which extended from 2005 to 2012 and total outlay was envisaged at Rs 1 lakh crores.
The Mission as has been mentioned by Navneet Singh ji was given a two year extension till March 2014. Even now very significant work is being done, you may have noticed Ma’am, in Indore, the ‘Janmarg’ or BRTS was made, in Ahmedabad the Janmarg or BRTS was made from the money from JNNURM.
Now, there is a peculiar situation because many of these schemes under JNNURM remain incomplete and the Centre has totally stopped funding of these schemes.
My question is simply this that for nine months we have been hoping that a new mission maybe not in Jawaharlal Nehru’s name maybe in Dindayal Upadhyay’s name would be launched for the development of the cities. May I ask the Hon’ble Minister that what is the exact plan for an alternative mission to follow up the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission which had done quite significant work 65 mission cities throughout the country.
