States Governments are vested with the power to plan, design, approve and implement rural drinking water supply schemes after getting the same approved by the State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC).  Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  &  Sanitation  neither  releases  funds  to  any NGO directly nor is any such proposal under consideration of this Ministry.
- (c) The State/UT-wise details of financial assistance provided by the Union Government under the drinking water schemes including Chhattisgarh during each of the last three years and the current year are at Annexure .
- (d) & (e) Under NRDWP, though funds are not directly released to any NGO, various Information Education Communication (IEC), Human Resources Developing (HRD) activities, public awareness campaigns related to usage of safe drinking water, water conservation,  levying  of tariffs from  community,  water  security  /  rain  water harvesting,  State  Governments  may  engage  the  services  of  NGOs  working  in  this sector at State, district  block or village level.
