1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Cities are engines of growth for the economy of every nation, including India. Nearly
31% of India’s current population lives in urban areas and contributes 63% of India’s
GDP (Census 2011). With increasing urbanization, urban areas are expected to house
40% of India’s population and contribute 75% of India’s GDP by 2030. This requires
comprehensive development of physical, institutional, social and economic
infrastructure. All are important in improving the quality of life and attracting people and
investments to the City, setting in motion a virtuous cycle of growth and development. In
this regard, the Government of India launched Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban
Transformation (AMRUT) a flagship programme on 25th June, 2015.
The aim of the mission is to provide basic services (e.g. water supply, sewerage, urban
transport) to households and build amenities in cities which will improve the quality of life
for all, especially the poor and the disadvantaged. Under this programme, Government
of India has selected 500 AMRUT Cities in the Country based on the urban population of
the State/ UT. In which 2 Cities / Towns, have been selected in Puducherry viz.,
Puducherry and Oulgaret, which are contiguous.
1.2 FOCUS AREAS
The Mission will focus on the following Thrust Areas. Viz.,

 water supply,
 Sewerage facilities and septage management,
 Storm water drains to reduce flooding,
 Pedestrian, non-motorized and public transport facilities, parking spaces, and
 Enhancing amenity value of cities by creating and upgrading green spaces, parks
and recreation centers, especially for children.
1.3 FUND ALLOCATION

The total outlay for AMRUT is Rs.50, 000 Crore for five years from FY 2015-16 to FY
2019-20 and the Mission will be operated as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme. The
AMRUT may be continued thereafter in the light of an evaluation done by the MoUD and
incorporating learning’s in the Mission. The Mission funds will consist of the following
four parts:
 Project fund - 80% of the annual budgetary allocation
 Incentive for Reforms - 10% of the annual budgetary allocation
 State funds for Administrative & Office Expenses (A&OE) - 8% of the annual
budgetary allocation
4
 MoUD funds for Administrative & Office Expenses (A&OE) - 2% of the annual
budgetary allocation
The project fund will be divided among States/UTs at the beginning of each year. An
equitable formula will be used to distribute the annual budgetary allocation in which
equal (50:50) weightage is given to the urban population of each State/UT (Census
2011) and the number of statutory towns in the State/UT. As the number of statutory
towns are notified by States/UTs and will change during the Mission period, the formula
will take into account changes in this number every year. The amount of project fund
allocated will be informed to the States/UTs at the appropriate time. The Central
Assistance (CA) for the projects will be in three instalments of 20:40:40 of the approved
cost.

1.5 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work is divided into two phases:
Phase I – Preparation of Service Level Improvement Plan

Phase II – Preparation of State Annual Action Plan
PHASE I – PREPARATION OF SERVICE LEVEL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
 First Step is to assess the service level gap in the infrastructure delivery like water
supply, sewerage, Storm Water Drainage, NMT and Green Spaces
 Second is to identify the project components to bridge the gap in the existing service
level facilities
 Estimate the project cost for the identified project components
 Prioritize the project components to be taken up in the first, second, third, fourth and
fifth year of the Mission
PHASE II – STATE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The basic building block for the SAAP will be the SLIPs prepared by the ULBs. At the
State/ UT level, the SLIPs of all Mission cities will be aggregated into the SAAP.
Therefore, the SAAP is basically a State /UT level service improvement plan indicating
the year-wise improvements in water-supply and sewerage connections to households
and to provide the comprehensive storm water drainage facilities. The section under
SAAP would include the principles of prioritization, Importance of O&M, Financing of
Projects & Execution.

preparing the DPR for the left out areas in both the cities.
2.4.3 Storm Water Drainage
The objective of this plan is to present a comprehensive description of the present

service delivery of Storm water Drainage System in the selected AMRUT Cities. The
section shows the status of Storm Water Drainage system in the AMRUT Cities.
11
Figure 2-5 : Percentage of Storm Water Drainage facilities available in AMRUT Cities
The above pie chart represents, the cities / towns are having averagely 70% of Storm
Water Drainage system. The Public Works Department, Puducherry is preparing the
DPR for Puducherry and Oulgaret Municipalities to implement the comprehensive storm
water drainage system for the entire city. Though the city has adequate coverage ,the
capacity of the drains are inadequate to carry the storm water run-off during the
monsoon period which results in inundation/flooding in many parts of the City. The city
has higher and lower contours having elevation difference of about 15-20 m. The storm
water run-off from the catchment areas such as Lawspet, Mettupalayam, JIPMER
campus which are located in the higher contour is flowing towards low lying areas such
as Krishna Nagar, Rainbow Nagar, Venkata Nagar, Indira Gandhi Square, Boomianpet,
Natesan Nagar, Anna Nagar etc. and causes inundation every year. It is a recurring and
long term problem and these areas are severely affected every year. The poor drainage
system is also due to encroachment of drains by the public in certain drains and choking
of drains due to indiscriminate disposal of municipal solid waste. During
November/December, 2015, due to vigorous rainfall intensity, many households in the
aforesaid locations were under storm water and prolonged inundation forced the people
to vacate their houses and stayed outside and on their rooftop as the situation was like a
flooding which was a disaster condition in Oulgaret and Puducherry Municipalities.

3. STATE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

3.1 INTRODUCTION
The State Annual Action Plan (SAAP) has been prepared on the basis of Service Level
Improvement plan of 2 Urban Local Bodies. The SAAP provide the details of projects
prioritized per ULBs and fund allocated for each ULBs. The document indicates the
year-wise improvements in water-supply and sewerage connections to households in the
respective ULBs. The projects of each Urban Local Body have been prioritized based on
the gap analysis and financial strength of the respective. The Government of
Puducherry has considered undertaking improvement of water supply and sewerage
systems for the first year. As per MoUD guidelines, the following table has been

1. Has the State Government diagnosed service level gaps?
Yes. Government of Puducherry has analysed the Service Level Improvement Plan of
each ULB and finalize the projects accordingly. The suggestions were also incorporated
in the SLIP.
2. Has the State / UT planned for and financed capital expenditure? (350 words)
As per Ministry of Finance LetterNo.D.O.No.32/PSO/FS/2015 dated October 28th 2015,

for Union Territories, the Centrally Sponsored Schemes (AMRUT) will be funded 100
percent by GoI.
3. Has the UT moved towards achievement of universal coverage in water supply and
sewerage/septage? (350 words)
Yes, the State Government has assessed the existing service levels particularly in water
supply and sewerage through Service Level Improvement Plan of each municipalities
and also considered the on-going schemes related to the water supply and sewerage.
Govt. of Puducherry has prioritized water supply and sewerage sector with a view to
improve the water quality and also providing sewerage facilities in the areas where
sewer network does not exist. It is proposed to construct 5 MLD water treatment plant at
Thirukanchi with a view to treat and blend the tubewell water abstracted from
Thirukanchi with a view to supply water for both Municiapalities. 2 nos. of RO plants
are also proposed at Kattamanikuppam (Puducherry Municipality) and rainbow Nagar
(Oulgaret Municipality ) for treating the tubewell water yielding high TDS. It is also
proposed to lay sewerage network in velrampet & Engineers Colony and its surrounding
areas, Puducherry Municipality and Dr.Radhakrishnan Nagar and its surrounding areas
in Oulgaret Municipality.
The storm water run-off from the catchment areas such as Lawspet, Mettupalayam,
JIPMER campus which are located in the higher contour (About 20 M above the plain
areas) is flowing towards the low lying areas such as Krishna Nagar, Rainbow Nagar,
Venkata Nagar, Indira Gandhi Square, Boomianpet, Natesan Nagar, Anna Nagar etc.
and causes inundation every year. It is a recurring and long term problem and these
areas are severely affected every year. Though, there is an urgent need to divert the
storm water run -off from the upper catchment to the existing water bodies/sea to
prevent inundation in the aforesaid posh localities, the proposal is not considered under
AMRUT as priority is to be given for water supply and sewerage.
4. What is the expected level of the financial support from the Central Government
and how well have State/ULB and other sources of finance been identified and
accessed? (300 words)
As per Ministry of Finance Letter No.D.O.No.32/PSO/FS/2015 dated October 28th 2015,

for Union Territories, the Centrally Sponsored Schemes will be funded 100 percent by
the GoI.

5. How fairly and equitably have the needs of the ULBs been given due
consideration? (300 words)
The Government of Puducherry has considered the water quality problem and low
coverage of sewerage network and proposed measures for improving water quality and
sewerage coverage.
6. Have adequate consultations with all stakeholders been done, including citizens,
local MPs and other public representatives?
Yes. The consultations were held with MPs, MLAs of the respective Constituency and
also consultation were held with various line departments and implementing agencies
like Puducherry Public Works Department, Local Administration Department, Road
Transport Department, Town & Country Planning Department etc. The comments /
suggestions received from various officials and elected representatives were considered
during the preparation of Service Level Improvement Plan of the respective ULBs.
3.2 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED IN PREPARATION OF SAAP IS SUMMARIZED BELOW;
3.2.1 Principles of Prioritization
As per MoUD Guidelines, the Government of Puducherry has prioritized the projects
based on the following principles;
 Water quality issues and low coverage of sewerage network

 Impact of Natural Disaster (flood/prolonged inundation)
 Inter-ULB allocation based on gap analysis and financial strength of ULBs.
 ULBs having higher gaps in provision of Water Supply and Sewerage
 Consultation with local MPs and Commissioners of the concerned ULBs
 ULBs with a high proportion of Urban Poor could receive higher share.
 ULBs with low per capita revenue have given priority in the first year.
 First preference to be given to the Smart Cities
During the prioritization of the project, the GoP has taken into consideration the existing
coverage of water supply and sewerage system in the ULBs and the condition of storm
water drainage. Govt. of Puducherry has prioritized water supply and sewerage sector. It is
proposed to construct water Treatment Plant and RO plants and also to increase water
supply coverage by providing additional HSCs. Online water quality monitors are proposed
for measuring water quality at prominent locations. In sewerage, it is proposed to increase
the coverage by extending House service connections by laying sewer networks in the areas
such as Velrampet, Engineers Colony and its surrounding areas in Puducherry Municiaplity
and Dr. Radhakrishnan Nagar and its adjoining areas in Oulgaret Municipality.
7. Has consultation with local MPs/ MLAs, Mayors and Commissioners of the
concerned ULBs been carried out prior to allocation of funding? Please give details.
16
Yes. Local MPs/MLAs, and Commissioners of the respective ULBs were consulted and
prioritized the projects accordingly. The allocation of funds for each sector in the SAAP
is based on the outcome of stakeholder’s discussion.
8. Has financially weaker ULBs given priority for financing? If yes, how? (200 words)
Govt. of Puducherry has prioritized water supply and sewerage sector in both
Municipalities. Oulgaret Municipality is given top most priority keeping in view its financial
condition.
9. Is the ULB with a high proportion of urban poor has received higher share? If yes,
how? (250 words)
Yes. The cities with higher share of urban poor have been given priority.
10. Has the potential Smart cities been given preference? Please give details.(150

As per the AMRUT guidelines, water supply and sewerage has ben prioritised .
However, considering the recent impact of natural disaster (flood) the Government of
Puducherry has also identified and prioritized the projects for improving the Storm Water
Drainage System in most affected areas of both municipalities. There is an urgent need
to divert the storm water run -off from the upper catchment to the existing water
bodies/sea to prevent inundation in the posh localities of the city.
