## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

(a)  &  (b):  Public  health  and  sanitation  is  a  State  subject.  However, Government of India supplements the efforts of the States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in providing infrastructure for basic services such as sewerage infrastructure including Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in urban areas through its various flagship Missions. The Government

has launched Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) on 25 June, 2015 in 500 Mission cities. Construction of STPs is one of the admissible component under the Mission. The State-wise number of STPs constructed/under construction during the last three years under AMRUT Mission is placed at Annexure.

- (c) So far, 4 STPs have been completed and 155.50 Million Litres per Day (MLD) treatment capacity has been added under AMRUT Mission.
- (d)    According  to  the  data  released  in  the  report  'Inventorization  of Sewage  treatment  plants,  2015'  by  the  Central  Pollution  Control Board, the treatment capacity that is available is only for 37% of the total 62,000 MLD of human waste that is generated in urban India.

The  Government  has  launched  Atal  Mission  for  Rejuvenation  and Urban  Transformation  (AMRUT)  on  25  June,  2015  for  basic  urban infrastructure  development  in  500  Mission  cities  and  sewerage  & septage  management  (including  construction  of  Sewage  Treatment Plants) is one of the thrust areas under the Mission. Against total State Annual  Action  Plans  (SAAPs)  of  Rs.77,640  crore  approved  under AMRUT for all States/ UTs, Rs.32,456 crore (42%) have been allocated to sewerage & septage management sector.
