The Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja has said that under the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) – component of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), total 1439 Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) have so far been received out of which 1020 projects have been approved for construction of 549862 houses and related infrastructure facilities. The remaining DPRs have not been either approved for lack of availability of Central allocation for the concerned States/Union Territories or returned to concerned Agencies/States/Union Territories for rectification of deficiencies. 

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today she said, no DPR is pending in the Ministry.  State/Union Territory-wise details of projects received and approved during each of the last three years and the current year are annexed.

She said, completion of projects in cities/towns depends on the implementation schedule/capacity/financial resources available for projects by States/Implementing Agencies. No target has been fixed for any city/town.
