(a) Rural drinking water supply is a state subject. This Ministry provides financial and technical assistance to States for coverage of rural drinking water supply through centrally  sponsored  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP).  Under NRDWP, the execution of rural water supply scheme is done by the respective State Government. States are free to plan, design and execute Rural Drinking Water Supply Scheme  after  getting  the  same  approved  by  the  State  Level  Scheme  Sanctioning Committee  (SLSSC).  During  2017-18,  an  amount  of  Rs.  6050  Crore  has  been allocated  under  NRDWP  for  coverage  of  rural  water  supply  schemes.  Out  of  this amount, as on 08.08.2017, Rs. 1297.83 Crore has been released to States. As reported by  State  Governments  on  the  online  monitoring  portal  of  this  Ministry,  as  on 06.08.2017, there are 67,733 drinking water supply schemes being implemented in the State.
