Salient Features

Cities are required to prepare City Development Plans (Vision

Documents) as participatory frameworks for
Infrastructure planning and prioritization, and
Framing urban reform agendas

Funding support for infrastructure is linked to reforms

Cities and State need to enter into Memorandum of Agreement with Government of
India to implement urban reforms in order to access JNNURM funds

Urban Infrastructure Projects are prepared and executed by the

Cities
Cities are provided funding assistance for implementing urban projects based on
Detailed Project Report.
 Eligible projects

 Key Issues in Implementation

Lack of capacity of the ULBs :

Dealing with delivery of specialized services such as fire services and
planning and Urban forestry - many states have not transferred these
functions
Lack of Political support in some areas :
Implementation of urban planning, rent control and Community
participation law require considerable political support
Political consensus is also required for levy of property tax, doing away
with exemptions, periodic surveys and improving administration of ULBs
to enhance coverage and collection.
Resistance from states/ULBs to implement reforms:
Resistance on account of loss of revenue due to stamp duty reduction
Resistance to levy of user charges for solid waste as in many states it is
recovered under property tax ;
People are reluctant to pay additional user charge as it is considered as an
obligatory responsibility of the ULB hence
 Peer Experience and Reflective Learning (PEARL)

An initiative for knowledge sharing among cities launched

Objective: To create manageable networks between JNNURM cities

for cross learning and knowledge sharing

Progress so far: 5 groups have been formed -

A: Mega Cities with global character in socio-economic profile,
B: Major industrial cities,
C: Mixed economy cities
D: Cultural and religious cities,
E: Hill and environmentally sensitive cities
Major Impact
Firmly established a focus on the development of cities
Strong focus on cities taking responsibility

19
Lessons learnt
Need to build capacity before launching such a huge program
Special emphasis to hand hold lagging states needed financial
incentives not enough
Sustained focus on reforms can be difficult needs the right
visionaries political pressures on the investments
