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

(a) & (b) This Ministry maintain information regarding supply of drinking water in rural areas  in  terms  of  habitations  and  not  in  terms  of  households.  Coverage  of  safe  drinking water in rural areas is maintained in terms of Fully Covered habitations (i.e. getting more than 40 litre per capita per day (lpcd) safe drinking water), Partially Covered habitations (i.e.  getting  less  than  40  lpcd  safe  drinking  water)  and  Quality  Affected  habitations  (i.e. containing  chemical  contaminant).  State-wise  details  of  number  of  habitations  including Maharashtra having access to supply of drinking water is at Annexure.

(c)  &  (d)  As  reported  by  States  on  Integrated  Management  information  System  (IMIS), 17.93% of rural household have been provided with tap connection. The subject matter is a state  subject.  However  this  Ministry  assists  the  states  in  their  efforts  for  improving coverage  of  Piped  Water  Supply  in  rural  areas  through  National  Rural  Drinking  Water Programme  (NRDWP).  Further,  the  Ministry  has  restructured  NRDWP  to  make  it  more competitive, outcome based and result oriented. Ministry has also launched SwajalProgramme  which  will  increase  the  coverage  of  piped  water  supply  in  aspiration districts of the country.
