[[Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission]] was renamed to '''Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)''' and then relaunched by [[Prime Minister of India]] [[Narendra Modi]] in June 2015 with the focus to establish infrastructure that could ensure adequate robust sewage networks and water supply for urban transformation by implementing urban revival projects. [[Rajasthan]] was the first state in the country to submit State Annual Action Plan under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). The scheme [[Housing for all in India|Housing for All]] by 2022 and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) were launched on the same day. The scheme is dependent with [[public–private partnership]](PPP) model. If required, various other schemes like [[Swachh Bharat Mission]], [[Housing for All scheme in India|Housing for All]] 2022, along with the local state schemes like that related to water supply and sewerage and other infrastructure related schemes can be linked to AMRUT.<ref>{{Cite news|title = States to have greater say in three flagship schemes|url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/states-to-have-greater-say-in-three-flagship-schemes-launched-by-narendra-modi/article7354189.ece|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 2015-06-25|access-date = 2015-11-04|issn = 0971-751X}}</ref>

==Mission==
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).
