ATAL MISSION FOR REJUVENATION AND URBAN TRANSFORMATION (AMRUT)

the purpose of Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation
(AMRUT) is to 
(i) ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water
and a sewerage connection;
(ii) increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and
well maintained open spaces (e.g. parks); and 
(iii) reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). 
All these outcomes are valued by citizens, particularly women, and indicators and standards have been prescribed by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) in the form of Service Level
