  • 4. National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy — 2007.
  • 1. Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) — 2015.

  • The correct order is 2 → 4 → 1 → 3, option (a).

Additional Information

  • AMRUT aims at water supply, sewerage, septage management, storm-water drains, urban transport and green spaces in selected cities; AMRUT 2.0 was launched in 2021 to make cities "water secure" and self-reliant through a circular water economy.
  • Jal Jeevan Mission (2019) targets Functional Household Tap Connections to every rural household. Its urban counterpart is JJM (Urban).
  • Other urban missions launched in 2015 alongside AMRUT: the Smart Cities Mission and PMAY-Urban; Swachh Bharat Mission had been launched in 2014.
  • Water supply and sanitation are State subjects, so these are centrally sponsored schemes implemented by the states.
