## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FORMINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a) Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin)[SBM(G)] is a demand driven scheme, hence State/UTwise targets are not fixed. However, State/UT-wise number of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs)  constructed  in  country  including  Maharashtra  under  SBM(G)  from  2.10.2014  to 16.7.2018 is at Annexure.
- (b) Funds released to the State of Maharashtra and its utilization by the State during each of the last three years and the current year is as under :-

| Year                    |   Funds released (Rs. in crore) |   Funds utilised(Rs. in crore) |
|-------------------------|---------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 2015-16                 |                          567.45 |                         644.5  |
| 2016-17                 |                          528.94 |                         616.11 |
| 2017-18                 |                         1235.34 |                         839.04 |
| 2018-19(upto 16.7.2018) |                            0    |                         109.56 |

(c) and (d) Sanitation is a State subject and hence the responsibility for implementation of the programme  lies  with  the  States.    Government  of  India  provides  technical  and  financial support to supplement the efforts of the State Governments.  Complaints, if any, received are forwarded to the respective State Governments for appropriate corrective measures.
