## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (Shri Ramesh ChandappaJigajinagi)

(a)&  (b)In  view  of  enhanced  devolution  of  funds  to  States  under  14 th Finance Commission, the Central share allocation of funds under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) to all States including Kerala has been reduced in 201516 and 2016-17.

(c)& (d) This Ministry allocates funds under NRDWP as per pre-approved criteria as envisaged in NRDWP guideline and there is no provision of giving more funds to any State over & above the allocation. However, this Ministry estimates savings at the end of financial year and additional funds are allocated to performing States. The proposal for second instalment of funds under NRDWP this year has been received from the state government of Kerala. Upon examination of its proposal, it has been found that State needs to submit revised proposal along with requisite document and clarification.  Moreover,  the  Ministry  does  not  fund  for  any  specific  drinking  water project.

- (e) and (f) Yes Madam. The funding pattern under NRDWP has been changed and the component-wise changes in funding pattern are at Annexure .
