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

- (a) Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) (SBM-G), incentive is provided to BPL families and  specific  identified  APL  families  (all  SCs  /STs,  small  and  marginal  farmers,  landless labourers with homestead, physically handicapped and women-headed households). State/UT-wise,  Central  share  expenditure  on  construction  of  Individual  household  latrines (IHHLs)  for  Below  Poverty  Line  (BPL)  and  these  Identified  Above  Poverty  Line  (APL) householdsduring  the last  three  years  and  the  current  year  as  on  13-12-2016  as  per  online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is at Annexure-1 .
- (b)  The  amount  of  per  unit  financialassistance  provided  to  BPL  and  Identified  APL households during each of the last three yearsand the current year is as under :-
- (c)-  (d)The  incentive  to  eligible  beneficiaries  for  construction  of  toilet  has  been  increased from  Rs.  10000  to  Rs.  12000  with  effect  from  2 nd October,  2014  with  the  launch  of  the Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G). This programme emphasizes on behavior change and is not a supply-driven construction led programme. Therefore, Rs. 12,000 per toilet is an incentive amount and not a reimbursement of the cost of the toilet, which may be lower or higher  than  this  incentive  amount,  depending  upon  several  factors.  Therefore,  proposal  to increase this financial assistance is not under consideratioin.
