The projects approved under MUKTA are climate resilient work, which includes creation of civic amenities like mini park, open air gym, child play station, playground, walking track, vending zones, and other public utility works like open space development, water body development, construction of multipurpose community centers, wall painting, city beautification and other labour-oriented works. 

All these 37 ULBs have developed ward-wise feasible Annual Action Plans under MUKTA through a participatory process involving local citizens and key stakeholders. All these projects are demand driven, technically feasible and environmentally sustainable.

‘Mukhya Mantri Karma Tatpara Abhiyan’ (MUKTA) was launched by the CM on 18th April 2020 with an objective to generate rapid, immediate and mass employment opportunities for urban poor, informal and migrant labourers rendered unemployed and vulnerable in the face of Covid-19 pandemic, while addressing the needs of creation of climate resilient, cost-effective sustainable and replicable community assets.

MUKTA adopts a community driven, participatory and bottom-up approach ensuring transparency and accountability during entire stage of project implementation. MUKTA is a community driven scheme tailor made for Community Based Organisations (CBO) such as Women Self Help Groups (SHG) and Slum Dwellers Associations (SDA) to take the centre stage.
