Under the new Metro Policy, TOD has been

mandatory while under Green Urban Mobility

and is given priority for receiving central assistance.
[Look out for mandatory/ optional tags for now]
Since Swacch Bharat is a Flagship scheme of the

Government.Any scheme related to it is very
important for prelims.
(Schemes say the objective of the scheme thus

hardly any chance the scheme could be asked)
[Proof of test] Andhra Pradesh Government has

resorted to Land Pooling for acquiring land for its
Amaravati Capital Project under which farmers have
given land in return for developed land parcels.
Gujarat and Haryana also used this tool for some
projects.
[What to look for in future] Ministry of Urban

Development is working to develop a comprehensive
VCF framework so that it can be used efficiently and

financing infrastructure and enhancing the finances

provisions of HIV/AIDS Bill are prohibition of

infection management, protection of property of
affected children, safe working environment and
appointment of ombudsman in every State.
