Meghalaya Urban Development Agency

What Meghalaya Urban Development Agency does

The Meghalaya Urban Development Agency (MUDA) is a state government nodal agency established in May 1991 and registered as a Society under the Meghalaya Societies Registration Act, 1983. Headquartered in Shillong at the Lum Shyllong Building on Secretariat Hill, MUDA operates with a small core staff of 8 employees under the administrative supervision of the Government of Meghalaya's Urban Affairs department. The agency is governed by a General Council and Governing Body, with the Director serving as Executive Officer; the current Director, Shri P. Kr Boro, MCS, took office in October 2024.

MUDA's mandate is to plan and assist local bodies in implementing urban poverty alleviation schemes and to coordinate convergence of activities across sectoral departments. The agency acts as the state-level channel for centrally sponsored missions: it administered the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM) from its inception until 30 September 2024, when DAY-NULM was discontinued and replaced by the Deendayal Jan Aajeevika Yojana - Shehari [D-JAY (S)] pilot mission. Scheme components under its purview include Social Mobilization and Institutional Development (SM&ID), Capacity Building and Training (CB&T), Employment through Skills Training and Placement (EST&P), Self-Employment Programme (SEP), Support to Urban Street Vendors, Scheme of Shelter for Urban Homeless (SUH), and Innovative and Special Projects.

The agency has no commercial revenue model; it functions as a publicly funded implementation and coordination body. Implementation is delivered through six Municipal Boards (Shillong, Tura, Jowai, Williamnagar, Baghmara, Resubelpara), which serve as direct implementing agencies, supported by District Urban Planners and Assistant Engineers at the district level. The agency's digital presence is limited to an informational website designed and hosted by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Meghalaya State Centre, with no proprietary technology, mobile application, API, or commercial product offerings. The beneficiary population is the urban poor across Meghalaya's six cities.
