number of cities under the Mission shall remain around 60. At present there are
65 cities covered under UIG of JNNURM and no more cities have been added. However,
cities that are not covered under UIG are eligible for assistance under Urban
Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) subject
to availability of funds.
It was proposed by the Ministry to include the following 28 cities/urban
agglomerations with population of 5 lakh and above as per 2001 Census under the
UIG component of JNNURM:-
Guntur, Warangal, Durg-Bhilai Nagar, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Belgaum, Mangalore,
Hubli-Dharwad, Kozhikode, Gwalior, Amravati, Bhiwandi, Aurangabad, Kolhapur, Solapur,
Cuttak, Jalandhar, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Kota, Salem, Tiruppur, Tiruchirappalli, Aligarh,
Bareilly, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur and Moradabad.
On account of resource constraints, the Planning Commission and Ministry of
Finance could not agree to include these cities under UIG of JNNURM.
Sufficient funds are available for providing Additional Central Assistance
(ACA) to State Governments/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to enable them to undertake
the already approved projects. JNNURM also encourages ULBs to leverage and
incorporate private sector efficiencies in development, management, implementation
and financing of projects, through Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements,
wherever appropriate.
