Atal Mission For Rejuvenation And Urban Transformation

About Atal Mission For Rejuvenation And Urban Transformation

The Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is built to:

1. Give every household a tap connection with assured water supply and a sewerage connection. 1. Raise cities’ liveability by developing green spaces and well-kept open areas like parks. 1. Cut pollution by shifting toward public transport or building infrastructure for non-motorised transport, such as walking and cycling.

These outcomes matter to citizens — women especially — and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has set out indicators and standards for them as Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs).
