## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI S.S.AHLUWALIA)

As per information  entered  by  States  on  Integrated  Management  Information  System  (IMIS)  of  the Ministry, as on 05.03.2018, state-wise details of habitations including the state of Odisha where Piped Water Supply (PWS) has been provided under  National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) is at Annexure-I.

(b)  Under NRDWP, funds are not being released separately for Piped Water Supply (PWS) till 10 th November, 2017. After this date, funds are mainly released for Piped Water Supply Schemes. The  State  /  UT-wise  details  of  funds  sanctioned,  allocated  and  utilised  under  NRDWP  which includes funds  for  PWS Schemes during each of the last three  years  and the current  year is  at Annexure-II.

- (c) As per restructured guideline, allocation of funds under NRDWP is made as per below criteria:

| Criteria                                                                                                                                                           |   Weightage (%) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|
| Rural Population ( as per last Census )                                                                                                                            |              40 |
| Rural SC and ST population ( as per last Census )                                                                                                                  |              10 |
| States under DDP, DPAP, HADP and special category Hill States in terms of rural areas                                                                              |              40 |
| Population ( as per IMIS ) residing in habitations having affected by chemical contaminants including heavy metals (as on 31 st March of preceding financial year) |              10 |
| Total                                                                                                                                                              |             100 |

The funds received under NRDWP is allocated to all States including Odisha as per above criteria. (d) As per restructured NRDWP guideline, the focus is mainly on providing Piped Water Supply to  rural  population  ultimately  by  2030  to  honour  the  commitment  made  by  the  country  in  the international forum while agreeing for UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-2030.

- (e) Rural drinking water supply is a state subject. This Ministry provides technical and financial assistance to complement the efforts of state government in providing safe drinking water to rural population. Rapid increase in population and gradual decrease in natural resources including water due to environmental factors have paved the way for providing drinking water to rural population using sustainable sources. Sustainability of any sources depends on community participation and availability  of  resources.  As  per  restructured  guideline,  the  focus  is  mainly  on  providing  Piped Water  supply  to  rural  households  which  will  in  turn  help  in  minimizing  wastage  of  water  and enhances efficient utilization of water.
