The Mission strives to strengthen rural areas by providing economic, social and infrastructure amenities, thus leading to sustainable and balanced regional development in the country.
Launched the Scheme
Hon’ble Prime Minister has launched this scheme on 21st February, 2016 in the State of Chhattisgarh. The Mission aims at development of rurban clusters, which would trigger overall development in the region.
Vision
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 urban villages”.
Aims
Under this National Rurban Mission (NRuM), to ensure organized development of the clusters, the areas would be well delineated and would be duly notified as planning areas under the relevant Planning Acts of the States.
Mission
These clusters would be developed by provisioning of economic activities, developing skills & local entrepreneurship and providing infrastructure amenities. The Mission aims at development of 300 such clusters over the next 3 years, of which 100 clusters would be formed in the first phase.
