AMRUT - LSGD

The purpose of Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is to ensure that every household has access to a tap with the assured supply of water and a sewerage connection, increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces (e.g. parks) and reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). The Priority zone of the Mission is water supply followed by sewerage. Rejuvenation of water bodies, green spaces, and parks are other components. Outcome-based funding is a major feature of AMRUT 2.0. Funding for the projects under AMRUT & AMRUT-2.0 will be shared by the Centre, States/ UTs and ULBs. The AMRUT 1.0 cities of Kerala are Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kochi, Thrissur, Kozhikode and Kannur Corporations, and Alappuzha, Guruvayur and Palakkad Municipalities. All 93 Urban Local Bodies in Kerala are included in AMRUT-2.0 except for the Sewerage and Septage sector, which covers only the ULBs included under AMRUT 1.0.

AMRUT Mission was launched on 1st September 2015.
