The purpose of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is to: y Ensure that every household has access to a tap with an assured supply of water and a sewerage connection. y Increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well-maintained open spaces. y Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g., walking and cycling).
One of the key efforts of the Mission is to improve governance through a set of Reforms, of which formulation of a GIS-based Master Plan is an important one. The objective is to develop common digital base maps/ land use maps using Geographical Information System (GIS) in each AMRUT city to enable them to make more informed strategic decisions for Master Plan Formulation.
