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

(a) The  state-wise  details  of  number  of  habitations  provided  with  Piped  Water  Supply (PWS)  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year  as  on  05.03.2017  is  at Annexure .

(b) Rural water supply is a State subject and this Ministry supplements the efforts of State Government by  giving  them  technical  and  financial  assistance  for  providing  safe  drinking water in rural areas. Proposals for providing PWS do not come to this Ministry for approval. State  Governments    are  empowered  to  plan,  design,  sanction  and  execute    rural  drinking water supply  schemes. The rural drinking water supply schemes are approved by the State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC)..

(c). The Ministry provides Piped Water Supply (PWS) in rural areas upto standpost only.  As per data entered by States on the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of this Ministry,  as  on  05.03.2017,  coverage  of  total  population  with  PWS  is  53.67  %.  Under NRDWP the household tap connection with PWS is not mandatorily provided.  This Ministry under  its  Strategic  Plan  intends  to  provide  50%  of  all  rural  households  with  piped  water supply by 2017 and subsequent goal is to cover 90% of rural households with piped water supply by 2022.

(d)  This Ministry has prepared a Strategic Plan for providing drinking water supply in rural areas of the country for the period 2011-2022. The interim goal till 2017 is to cover 50% of all  rural  households  with  piped  water  supply.  By  2022,  the  goal  is  to  cover  90%  of  rural households  with  piped  water  supply.  Further,  this  Ministry  has  mandate  to  provide  Piped Water  Supply  up  to  the  stand  post  only  .  Household  connection  is  a  voluntary  action  for which State has been advised to take extensive Information Education and Communication (IEC) activities  to motivate rural population in this direction. As per the data entered by the States on the Ministry's Integrated Management Information System(IMIS) the percentage of households with tap connections in their premises in the rural areas of the country  is 15.35.
