## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a) Total amount collected from Swachh Bharat Cess since inception to January, 2017 is Rs. 13036.23 crore.

(b) to (e)  Under the SBM (G), incentives are given for the toilet construction. The incentive given  is  not  a  reimbursement of  the  construction  cost  which  in  most  of the  cases  is  much higher. Budget allocation in the past has been less than the financial projection made on the basis  of  Annual  Plans  submitted by the  States.  To  meet  the  financial  constraints,  alternate sources like CSR funds, MGNREGS and convergence with other social sector schemes have been  considered,  apart  from  seeking  additional  Budgetary  Support  from  the  Government. State/UT-wise, Central share released under Sanitation Programmes during last 3 years and current  year  as  per  information  uploaded  by  the  States/UTs  on  the  online  Integrated Management Information System of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is at Annexure-1 .

- (f) The focus of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is on behaviour change of people to adopt safe sanitation and use toilet. In order to educate the people, the programme lays emphasis on community  involvement.    Under  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Gramin),  upto  5%  of  total resources  can  be  spent  on  Information,  Education  and  Communication(IEC)  for  State  and District  level.  3%  of  the  resources  can  be  used  at  the  Central  level  for  the  same  purpose. Further  for  creating  awareness  about  sanitation  and  generating  demand  for  sanitation facilities, including toilets, a Sanitation and Hygiene Advocacy and Communication Strategy Framework has been adopted by the Ministry for activities under Information, Education and Communication (IEC). States are preparing and implementing State and District  level IEC Plans  based  on  this  strategy  framework.  Massive  media  campaigns  have  been  started  at National level using Audio Visual (TV) and Audio (Radio). States are also carrying out IEC campaign including interpersonal Communication (IPC). Also cleanliness campaigns are held at regular intervals.
