Urban Renewal Mission

The Government of
India has launched a Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to encourage
cities to initiate steps to bring about
improvement in the existing service levels in a
financially sustainable manner. The JNNURM
consists of two sub-mission: the Urban
Infrastructure and Governance and the Basic
Services to the Urban Poor. It believes that in
order to make cities work efficiently and
equitably, it is essential to create incentives
and support urban reforms at state and city
levels; develop appropriate enabling and
regulatory frameworks; enhance the
creditworthiness of Municipalities; and
integrate the poor with the service delivery
system. |

primary objective o the JNNURM is to create economically productive,
efficient, equitable and responsive cities. In line with this objective,
the Mission focuses on:
