| OVERVIEW - 2 |
With a view to facilitating
implementation of JNNURM in a planned and sustained manner, certain
strategies have been devised by the Mission, as follows : |
| |
-
Each city shall formulate a
City Development Plan (CDP) indicating the perspective
of development in the medium term, the policy and
institutional framework, the
infrastructure sector development strategies and programmes
and financing plans;
-
Detailed Project Report (DPR)
will have to be prepared for each project to be posed for
financial assistance under JNNURM, with the project having
been identified in the CDR
It is essential that the projects are designed in a manner
that would cover the capital
outlays and the attendant O&M costs over the life cycle of
the project. A revolving fund
would need to be created to meet the O&M requirements of the
projects;
-
The disbursement of funds,
which would come in the form of grant under
JNNURM, would be conditioned by certain agreed milestones
including those on urban
sector reforms;
-
With a view to optimizing the
life cycle costs over the planning horizon, private sector
participation in infrastructure development and management
is encouraged for projects
under JNNURM.
|
| |
As for the urban sector reforms, two
sets of reform viz. mandatory reform and optional reform - both at
the State as well as ULB level - are called for under JNNURM.
Release of fund, as already mentioned, has been related to
implementation of the agreed reforms. |
| |
Mandatory reforms at the level of ULBs and para-statal agencies
include adoption of accrual based double entry system of accounting;
introduction of e-governance using IT applications such as GIS and
MIS; enhancement of collection efficiency reaching at least 85% by
the end of JNNURM tenure; levy of user charges to meet at least the
recurrent O&M costs; earmarking of municipal budgets for basic
services to urban poor; and provision of basic services - both
physical and social infrastructure - to urban poor including
security of tenure at affordable prices.
It should be worthwhile to mention in this context that almost all
the ULBs within KMA have already switched over to accrual based
double entry system of accounting. Many of the ULBs have already
adopted GIS based applications towards property tax and other
service delivery management. |
