Civic Agencies have to perform to get funds
Civic agencies have been told to perform to receive funds. To make smart cities a reality, every city should prepare a vision document for the coming decade, based on the people, public, private partnership (PPPP) model per Union Minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu.
The grants to the States and the municipal corporations for urban development would depend on their performance. The States and the civic bodies should maintain development projects with the help of their own assets. To establish such a system, the Centre was planning to rate cities and local bodies in credit, affordability, sanitation, open land and greenery. “Central funding will depend on the performance of the State governments and the municipal corporations. There has to be rating for both the States as well as the corporations. Who will give money without credit-worthiness,” he asked.
“Every city should prepare a vision document for the next 10 years that will envisage a comprehensive development plan. The plan should be based on the suggestions of the people,” Mr. Naidu said.
Mr. Naidu also released the first instalment of Rs. 230 crore under the Swachh Bharat mission for western and central States. The money would be used for building individual and community toilets and solid-waste management. While Maharashtra got Rs. 135 crore, Gujarat was given Rs. 40.95 crore. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Goa got Rs. 30.79 crore, Rs. 18.81 crore and Rs. 2.59 crore respectively. more
