MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION ( KUMARI SELJA)
(a)to(d): Slum being a State subject, the Ministry of Housing &
Urban Poverty Alleviation does not regularize slums. However,
for integrated development of slums through projects for
providing shelter, basic services and other related civic
amenities with a view to provide utilities to the urban poor,
Central Assistance is provided through the Sub-Mission on Basic
Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) of Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and a scheme called Integrated
Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP). BSUP is
implemented in select 63 cities in the country, which include 2
cities from Karnataka (i.e., Bangalore and Mysore). In the
remaining cities/towns in the country, IHSDP is implemented.
Both BSUP and IHSDP are demand driven schemes for which
States/ULBs are required to submit Detailed Project Reports and
sign Memorandum of Agreements committing to implement reforms.
