Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation- It is undeniable that the Indian government has far more influence in determining policies and programs for the country than the Constitution allows. Various centrally sponsored housing and urban development schemes, as well as lending through national financial institutions, are also implemented by the Government of India on national policy issues. Policies and program contents are decided when Five Year Plans are formulated. A greater influence is exerted on the pattern of urbanization and real estate investment by indirect effects of fiscal, economic, and industrial location decisions taken by the Indian Government.

As the apex authority of the Government of India on all issues of urban employment, poverty, and housing, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation formulates policies, sponsors, and supports programs, coordinates the activities of various Government Ministries, State Governments, and other nodal authorities, and monitors the programs.

National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana- There is a wealth of natural resources, historic sites, and cultural resources in India. The nation is a melting pot of different cultures, religions, and traditions, as well as home to a variety of art forms & handicrafts, music and literature, architectural styles, etc. In spite of this, it has not yet fully tapped into the full potential of such resources.

As part of its Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) scheme, the Ministry of Urban Development launched an initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of heritage cities holistically. By creating an aesthetically pleasing, accessible, informative, safe, and secure environment, the scheme aims to preserve and revitalize the soul of the heritage city.

Objective- Heritage-sensitive infrastructure planning, development, and implementation.

• In historic central areas of cities, the provision of infrastructure and the provision of services is ensured.
• Ensure that tourists can directly interact with the city's unique culture by preserving it and revitalizing it.
• To develop an inventory of heritage assets in cities - natural, cultural, living, and built - to provide a foundation for planning, growth, and service provision.

 National Urban Digital Mission- Through the National Urban Digital Mission, urban ecosystems will be able to solve complex problems at scale and speed by establishing a shared digital infrastructure.  Providing ready-to-use platforms, standards, specifications, and frameworks for ecosystem actors, it is built as a public good.

Schemes

Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation AMRUT-  A guarantee of water supply and a sewerage connection should be available to every household.

• Develop green and well-maintained spaces (eg. parks) to increase the amenity value of cities
• Developing walking and cycling facilities or switching to public transportation can reduce pollution. MoHUA has prescribed Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs) as indicators and standards to measure all of these outcomes that are valued by citizens, especially women.

 Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana (National Urban Livelihoods Mission)- The development of strong grassroots level institutions for the poor will assist in reducing poverty and vulnerability among urban poor households by providing them with gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities. This will lead to a sustainable improvement in their livelihoods. The urban homeless would gradually receive housing and essential services as part of the mission. As well as addressing livelihood concerns, the Mission would also facilitate access to suitable spaces, institutional credit, social security, and skills for urban street vendors in order to access emerging markets.

Green Urban Mobility- By providing impetus to green and clean urban mobility projects, this Scheme will help to drive their development. Contributes to climate change mitigation and sustainability.

Non-motorized Transport (NMT) infrastructure is being improved, innovative urban transit methods are being promoted, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) facilities are being strengthened, buses are being retrofitted for energy efficiency and clean fuel, and other technological and innovative measures are being taken to make urban transport green. For projects selected through Green Urban Mobility Challenge, an outlay of about 3,000 crores is reserved. Through changes in travel practices, improving urban mobility infrastructure and services, enhancing IT applications, and adopting innovations in urban mobility project implementation and financing, will help reduce pollution levels.
