CITIIS 2.0 has been conceived by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in partnership with the French Development Agency (AFD), KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW), the European Union (EU), and National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA). The period of the program would be for 4 years. CITIIS 2.0 has 3 major components:

Component-1: Financial and technical support for up to 18 Smart Cities for projects promoting circular economy with focus on Integrated Waste Management.

Component-2: Support to all States/Union Territories (UTs) for Climate action.

Component-3: Interventions at National level to support scale-up across all cities and towns.

12 cities were selected under CITIIS 1.0 program through a challenge process. City-wise details of the twelve projects under the CITIIS 1.0 program are given in Annexure-I.

The National Project Management Unit based at NIUA conducts regular visits to project sites and provides necessary support through capacity building and peer-to-peer learning to ensure effective implementation of the program. Each project under CITIIS 1.0 was assigned a domestic expert and an international mentor to provide detailed on-site guidance in implementation of the project. Additionally, periodic reviews are conducted by the Government at the level of the program Apex Committee headed by the Joint Secretary & Mission Director (SCM), MoHUA.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Housing And Urban Affairs, Shri Kaushal Kishore, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
