The government has also launched a mobile app Geo-Rurban, for Geo-tagging of the assets in rural areas created under SPMRM. The users can update the physical status of the works being executed on the ground in the clusters at regular intervals, with geo-tagged images.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has taken up many projects for urbanization and developmental works to turn cities into smart cities. Parallelly, the government has also recognized the need to urbanize India's rural areas systematically. For this, the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM) was launched.
SPMRM Mission: How does it work?
Large parts of India's rural areas are not stand-alone settlements but a cluster of settlements, which are relatively proximate to each other. These clusters typically illustrate the growth potential, have economic drivers, and derive locational and competitive advantages. Govt has mandated 300 such Rurban clusters across the country to be developed under the SPMRM Mission.
Status of Rurban clusters
Out of the mandated 300 clusters, 296 have been identified and approved by the government. For the identified 296 Rurban clusters, 289 Integrated Cluster Action Plans (ICAPs) has been approved. ICAPs refer to key documents outlining the Cluster requirements and the interventions needed to address these needs.
Progress Made
272 Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) have also been approved by respective State Level Empowered Committees across the country (as of 27.10.2020). Details Project Report is prepared under every ICAP, which comprise the work-wise technical details, estimates, and approvals –for implementation. Total investment (the year 2020-21) stands at Rs. 27,941.51 crore for all the clusters across the country.
Clusters in Maharashtra, MP, and Jharkhand
In Maharashtra, there will be a total of 20 clusters whereas 19 in Madhya Pradesh and 18 clusters will be developed in Jharkhand.
AIM and efforts by Govt
SPMRM clusters focus on interventions, including civic, economic, social, and digital amenities. Strengthening economic activities is one of the key priorities in cluster development. This is achieved by investing in skill development linked to economic activities and employment generation through the promotion of Self Help Group (SHGs), agri-processing, and tourism activities.
The government has also launched a mobile app Geo-Rurban, for Geo-tagging of the assets in rural areas created under SPMRM. The users can update the physical status of the works being executed on the ground in the clusters at regular intervals, with geo-tagged images.
