Rurban Mission (SPMRM) on 16.09.2015. Now Shyama Prasad Mukherji
Rurban Mission (SPMRM) is renamed as National Rurban Mission
(NRuM).
The Government of India has launched National Rurban
Mission (NRuM), aimed at developing rural areas by provisioning of
economic, social and physical infrastructure facilities. The vision
of NRuM is to Develop a cluster of villages that preserve and
nurture the essence of rural community life with focus on equity
and inclusiveness without compromising with the facilities
perceived to be essentially urban in nature, thus creating a
cluster of Rurban villages.
A Rurban cluster, would be a
cluster of geographically contiguous villages with a population of
about 25000 to 50000 in plain and coastal areas and with a
population of 5000 to 15000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas.As far
as practicable, clusters of villages would follow administrative
convergence units of Gram Panchayats and shall be within a single
block/tehsil for administrative convenience.
1. Skill development training linked to economic activities
2. Agro Processing, Agri Services, Storage and Warehousing.
3. Fully equipped mobile health unit.
4. Upgrading
school/ higher education facilities.
5. Sanitation
6. Provision of piped water supply.
7. Solid and liquid
waste management.
8. Village streets and drains.
9. Street lights
10. Inter-village road connectivity.
11. Public transport
12. LPG gas connections
13. Digital literacy.
14. Citizen Service Centres (CSC)
- for electronic delivery of citizen centric services/e-gram
connectivity.
In order to achieve the above
envisaged outcome, under NRuM, the State Government shall identify
existing Central Sector, Centrally Sponsored and State Government
Schemes relevant for the development of the cluster and converge
their implementation in an integrated and time bound manner.
The funding for Rurban Clusters will be through
convergence of various existing schemes of the Central and State
Government.
The NRuM will provide an additional funding support of up to
30 percent of the project cost or Rs.30 crores per cluster,
whichever is lesser for plain areas and Rs. 15 crores per cluster
or 30 percent of the project cost in desert, hilly and tribal
areas, as Critical Gap Funding (CGF) to enable development of such
Rurban Clusters.

key interventions needed to address these needs and to leverage its
potential.
It indicates the resources to be
converged under various Central Sector, Centrally Sponsored schemes
