The Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) focuses on providing basic infrastructure services in urban areas. The five key thrust areas identified under AMRUT are: 1) Water supply, 2) Sewerage and septage management, 3) Storm water drainage, 4) Urban transport, and 5) Green spaces and parks.
Option A (Water supply), B (Storm water drainage), and D (Green spaces and park) are explicitly listed as thrust areas.
Option C mentions “Motorized urban transport and capacity building”. While Urban transport is a thrust area, the focus is primarily on non-motorized and public transport options and improving infrastructure for them. “Motorized urban transport” as a standalone or primary thrust area is not accurate; the emphasis is on sustainable transport. Capacity building is a component but not listed as one of the five core thrust areas in the same category as the others. Therefore, option C is the statement that does not correctly represent a core thrust area of AMRUT.
AMRUT aims to improve urban infrastructure through projects related to water supply, sewerage, drainage, urban transport (sustainable forms), and green spaces. It also includes reforms and capacity building components.
AMRUT was launched in 2015 with a focus on transforming 500 selected cities and towns. It complements other urban missions like Swachh Bharat Mission and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban).
