Progress: 3 Pro Poor Key Reforms

·                    Internal earmarking within local body budgets for Basic Services to the Urban Poor

56 cities have so far undertaken implementation of this reform

·                    Earmarking of at least 20-25% of developed land in all housing projects (both public and private agencies) for EWS/LIG category

22 States (51 cities) have issued the policy directives to reserve developed land in public and/or private housing projects

·                    Implementation of 7- Point Charter: Provision of 7 Basic Entitlements/Services

This reform is to be implemented in a staggered manner over the Mission Period in convergence with the programmes of other Ministries as this is also an outcome of the Mission. Four cities (Pune, Vishakhapatnam, Surat and Raipur) have achieved the target. As the implementation of this reform involves a complete package of basic entitlements/services — land tenure, affordable housing, water, sanitation, education, health and social security, most cities have programmed their achievements towards the end of the Mission period i.e. 2011-12. The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation has issued an advisory to States/UTs regarding the modalities to be adopted to complete the implementation of the three pro-poor reforms under JNNURM and to draw an action plan and set clear milestones for occupation of the houses constructed under BSUP and IHSDP as early as possible.
