Ministry of Urban
Development (MoUD), Government of India (GoI) is currently
implementing the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal
Mission (JNNURM) to improve infrastructure and basic
services in 65 cities across the country, This process of
urban transformation, which was launched in 2005-06 for a
period of 7 years, is being supported by central grant
funding of around Rs 50,000 crores. As a part of the
Mission, states and mission cities have to implement a set
of reform measures, as committed under a tri-partite
Memorandum of Agreement, in order to avail of mission
funds.
MoUD has and is continuing to take steps to acknowledge the efforts undertaken by the mission cities to improve urban services. In 2007, MoUD instituted awards for cities, which have demonstrated improvement in urban services and financial management. Continuing this practice, MoUD intends to felicitate mission cities for improvement demonstrated by them in 2009, in the following 3 categories: (1) Achievement for Improvement in Basic Services, (2) Achievement for Financial Sustainability and (3) Achievement for Environmental Initiatives. MoUD proposes 6 Sector Awards, within these categories. Each Sector Award is proposed to cover 2 cities - one award for best performing city and one award for runner-up city. The sectors for awards are as following:
With a view to obtaining an objective and fair assessment, MoUD has constituted an independent expert committee to conduct the exercise and select cities eligible for awards. A pro-forma has been developed and circulated to all 65 mission cities, seeking data on specific performance indicators. |

Objective: To recognize the achievement of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) which have undertaken initiatives in the areas of urban reforms and service delivery achievements. In addition, it is envisaged that some of the innovative initiatives undertaken by the ULBs will be showcased and shared with other ULBs, and, as such, this will provide an opportunity for ULBs to learn from the experience of their peers. Areas for Assessment/Award Categories: While the focus will be on implementation of projects in basic sectors and reforms under JNNURM, steps taken by ULBs to strengthen their financial position in order to ensure sustainability of infrastructure investments as well as efforts to initiate pro-active partnerships with the private sector will be recognised. Finally, initiatives to strengthen transparency in urban governance as well as efforts to deal with environmental degradation will also be taken into consideration. Based on above, the following award categories are proposed - Achievement for Improvement in Basic Services Water Supply Sewerage, Sanitation & Drainage Solid Waste Management Project undertaken through PPP in the above Achievement for Financial Sustainability through Reforms Implementation Implementation of ULB Reforms in Municipal Accounting, Property Tax, User Charges Achievement for Environmental Initiatives - Projects taken up under the CDM for earning carbon credits. Assessment Methodology: Data - For each of the above categories, a set of parameters along with indicators will be developed. Indicators for the basic services will be taken from the Standardized Service Level Benchmarks Workbook prepared by the Technical Cell. Data will be provided by the ULBs in prescribed formats. The ULBs will be responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of the data. Ranking - the ranking of ULBs in each category will be on the basis of a final score. A scale of 1 (low), 2 (medium) and 3 (high) will be assigned for each parameter. Individual scores for each parameter will be totalled and the ULB with the highest score in the category will be adjudged the winner. A runner-up award will be also be given.
