State-wise funds released under NRDWP during the last 3 years and the current year is at Annexure-III. Utilizing funds provided with the recommendation of NITI Aayog, 41 community water purification plants have been set up in arsenic affected habitations in West Bengal.  Further,  using  NITI  Aayog  recommended  funds,  Andhra  Pradesh  (80 Plants), Karnataka (1 Plant), Odisha (1 Plant), Rajasthan (20 Plants) totaling 102 community  water  purification  plants  in  fluoride  affected  habitations  have  also been  installed.
