JNNURM was initiated by the Government of India in 2005, which comprises four components. Which one was not included in the four major components?
- a.Urban Infrastructure & Governance (UIG)
- b.Basic Service for the Urban Poor (BSUP)
- c.Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP)
- d.Atal Mission for Rejuvenation Urban Transformation (AMRUT)
Answer: (D) Atal Mission for Rejuvenation Urban Transformation (AMRUT)
AMRUT is not a JNNURM component; it is a separate mission launched in 2015 that replaced JNNURM. JNNURM's four components were Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG) and Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) for the larger mission cities, and UIDSSMT and the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) for small and medium towns. So (A), (B) and (C) were all part of JNNURM. The Smart Cities Mission was launched in 2015 along with AMRUT.
