- (a) & (b) Rural drinking water supply is a state subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the  states  by  providing  them  with  technical  and  financial  assistance  through  the  centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) for improving the coverage of  clean  drinking  water  to  rural  population.  Under  NRDWP,  states  are  empowered  to  plan, design and execute rural water supply schemes which are approved by State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC) and do not come to this Ministry for approval.

Further, this Ministry had launched National Water Quality Submission (NWQSM) for which proposals  submitted  by  the  States,  proposals  considered  in  the  Ministry  and  funds  released under NWQSM as on 22 nd December, 2017 is at Annexure .

Moreover,  States  seeking  external  assistance  from  international  lending  agencies  for  rural drinking  water  supply  projects  do  submit  proposals  to  this  Ministry  for  recommendation  to Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance. Since 2014-15, eighteen such proposals have been received from the States. Six of these proposals were deficient in respect of requisite documents and the remaining 12 have been recommended to the DEA.
