Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) is a government initiative launched in 2005 to improve urban infrastructure and governance across Indian cities. Its primary goal is to enhance urban living by upgrading transportation, water supply, sanitation, and housing facilities. The mission aims to promote sustainable development, reduce urban poverty, and improve quality of life for residents. Funding and technical support are provided to ensure cities undertake projects that create better urban environments, attract investment, and manage resources efficiently, ultimately fostering balanced growth and modernization of Indian urban areas.
