Other cities/towns are covered under Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP). No year-wise, State-wise allocation has been made for BSUP and IHSDP during last three years. However, the details of funds allocated by the Government for Mission Period (2005-2012) under BSUP and IHSDP are annexed.
(c): The details of funds spent/un-spent funds under BSUP and IHSDP are as under:
(` Crore) Scheme Central share released Utilization Certificates submitted Balance for which UCS need to be submitted BSUP 6281.36 3297.14 2984.22 IHSDP 3732.01 797.49 2934.52 Total 10013.37 4094.63 5918.74

In addition, a Mid-term appraisal study of the 11th Plan by the Planning Commission, which covers implementation of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) among other things, reveals that there is a renewed focus on the urban sector across the country due to schemes like JNNURM, which has allowed States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to raise their aspirations. However, the need to raise capacity and investment resources is substantial.
