1. Need for Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) :
As per 2001 population census 285.35 million people reside in urban areas. It constitutes 27.8% of the total population of the country. In post-independence era while population of India has grown three times, the urban population has grown five times.

The rising urban population has also given rise to increase in the number of urban poor. As per 2001 estimates, the slum population is estimated to be 61.8 million. The ever increasing number of slum dwellers causes tremendous pressure on urban basic services and infrastructure.

In order to cope with massive problems that have emerged as a result of rapid urban growth, it has become imperative to draw up a coherent urbanization policy/strategy to implement projects in select cities on mission mode.

2. Mission Statement :
Reforms driven, fast track, planned development of identified cities with focus on efficiency in urban infrastructure/ services delivery mechanism, community participation and accountability of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Parastatals towards citizens.

3. Mission Strategy :
i. Planned urban perspective frameworks for a period of 20-25 years (with 5 yearly updates) indicating policies, programmes and strategies of meeting fund requirements would be prepared by every identified city.

This perspective plan would be followed by preparation of Development Plans integrating land use with services, urban transport and environment management for every five year plan period.

ii. Cities/Urban Agglomerations/Parastatals will be required to prepare Detailed Project Reports for undertaking projects under identified areas.
iii. Private Sector Participation in development, management and financing of Urban Infrastructure would be clearly delineated.

iv. Funds for the identified cities would be released to the designated State Nodal Agency, which in turn would leverage, to the extent feasible, additional resources from the financial institutions/private sector/capital market.

v. Funds from Central and State Government will flow directly to the nodal agency designated by the State, as grant. The nodal agency will disburse central assistance to ULBs or para-statal agencies as the case may be, as soft loan or grant-cum-loan or grant.

vi. A revolving fund will be created to meet the operation and maintenance costs of the assets created under the Mission.

4. Mission Objectives :
a) Focused attention to integrated development of infrastructural services in the cities covered under the Mission.

b) Secure effective linkages between asset creation and asset management so that the infrastructural services created in the cities are not only maintained efficiently but also become self-sustaining over time.

c) Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in the urban infrastructural services.
d) Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, out growths, urban corridors, so that urbanization takes place in a dispersed manner.

e) Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on universal access to urban poor.
f) To take up urban renewal programme, i.e., re-development of inner (old) cities area to reduce congestion.
