Urban renewal idea in state capitals

SANTWANA BHATTACHARYA

NEW DELHI, JANUARY 4: The Centre is so keen to re-do
the urban infrastructure that it is holding workshops
on the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
at seven state headquarters instead of waiting for
state governments to approach it with project
proposal.

Billed as the single largest Central government
initiative in the urban sector, it has a provision of
Rs 50,000 crore over the next seven years. The Urban
Development Ministry has already held one such
in-depth workshop in Lucknow. More are lined up?in
Guwahati on January 9, Jaipur on January 16, Hyderabad
on January 20, Bangalore on January 24, Mumbai on
January 27 and Kolkata on January 31.

To do away with apprehension of smaller metros about
being treated as poor cousins of the seven
mega-cities, UD officials said, locations of workshops
were chosen with care. The Prime Minister expressed
keenness to appear non-partisan as far as urban
infrastructure development and urban reforms are
concerned have also been taken care of. Non-Congress
ruled states, even BJP-ruled states headquarters have
to chosen for workshop cites "to get everyone involved
the Mission"...
