Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — C, ₹700 crores. In the Madhya Pradesh Budget for 2017-18, the amount earmarked for the AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) scheme was ₹700 crore, as recorded in the commission's key. AMRUT is the Centre's flagship urban mission (launched 2015) for basic services — water supply, sewerage, storm-water drains, urban transport and green spaces — in selected cities.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) Not the figure provided for AMRUT in the MP 2017-18 budget.  (b) Not the amount budgeted for the scheme that year.  (d) Higher than the actual 2017-18 provision for AMRUT.

Concept: AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) is a centrally-sponsored urban mission launched in June 2015. Its priority is universal household water supply and sewerage/septage, along with storm-water drainage, non-motorised urban transport and parks/green spaces. States match central funds and make their own budget provisions; MP's 2017-18 provision for it was ₹700 crore.
