## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

(a) This  Ministry  maintains  data  regarding  rural  drinking  water  supply  in  terms  of habitation  and  not  in  terms  of  villages.  As  reported  by  States  /  UTs  on  Integrated Management  Information  System  (IMIS)  of  this  Ministry,  the  state-wise  details  of habitations having access to safe drinking water as on 16.07.2017 is at Annexure-I.

(b) The existing IMIS does not capture safe drinking water availability throughout the year in the rural habitations. As reported by States / UTs on IMIS of this Ministry, the state-wise  details  of  habitations  not  having  access  to  safe  drinking  water  as  on 16.07.2017 is at Annexure-II.

(c)  &  (d)  Under  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP),  Ministry  of Drinking  Water  &  Sanitation  (MDWS)  has  prepared  a  Strategic  Plan  for  the  rural drinking water sector for the period 2011-2022 for providing the piped water supply in the rural areas. As per this, by 2022, the goal is to cover at least 90% of rural households with  piped  water  supply  and  up  to  10%  from  hand  pump  or  other  safe  &  adequate private water sources.
