Question

Which of the following refers to the Mission focused on development of basic infrastructure for water supply, sewerage and septage management, storm water drainage, green spaces and parks, and non-motorized urban transport?

A.

HARIT

B.

AMRUT

C.

MRITI

D.

JALJEEVAN

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) AMRUT
Explanation:
· AMRUT stands for the  Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation, launched by the Government of India in June 2015.
· The primary objective of AMRUT is to ensure that every household in 500 selected cities has access to basic infrastructure services like an assured water supply and a sewerage connection.
· The mission specifically focuses on five thrust areas: water supply, sewerage and septage management, storm water drainage, urban transport (non-motorized), and development of green spaces and parks. 
Information Booster:
· AMRUT 2.0 was launched on October 1, 2021, to provide universal coverage of water supply to all statutory towns and full sewerage/septage management in the initial 500 cities.
· The mission aims to reduce pollution by promoting public transport and facilities for non-motorized transport like walking and cycling.
· Rajasthan was the first state to submit its State Annual Action Plan under the original AMRUT scheme. 
Additional Knowledge:
(a) HARIT
· "Harit" generally means green. The National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) is an initiative by the Indian government aimed at boosting green hydrogen production to meet climate targets and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. It is not an urban infrastructure mission. 
(c) MRITI
· "MRITI" is not a widely recognized major national mission in India for urban infrastructure development mentioned in the sources. Mission Amrit Sarovar is a different initiative focused on constructing or rejuvenating 75 water bodies (ponds) in every district across the country, primarily in rural areas. 
(d) JALJEEVAN
· Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is a national mission aimed at providing safe and adequate drinking water through individual household tap connections to  all households in  rural India by 2024 (as per initial goals). It focuses on rural water infrastructure, not the broad urban infrastructure mentioned in the question.
