## ANSWER

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

(a)The State-wise details of funds allocated and released under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) during each of the last three years and current year is at Annexure-I.

(b)  As  reported  by  States  on  Integrated  Management  Information  System  (IMIS), 80.39% of rural habitationsare Fully Covered (i.e. getting more than 40 litre per capita per day  (lpcd) safe  drinking  water), 16.03% of  rural habitationsare Partially  Covered (i.e.  getting  less  than 40  lpcd  safe  drinking water)  and 3.58% of  rural habitations  are Quality Affected (i.e. containing chemical contaminant) as on 17.12.2018.

(c)  A  web-based  online  'Integrated  Management  Information  System  (IMIS)'  is  in place to monitor the progress of the schemes and expenditure of the funds released to the states under NRDWP.  From time to time, review meetings are also held with the State  Secretaries,  Engineers-in-Chief  in-charge  of  rural  water  supply  for  effective monitoring of completion of schemes and expenditure of funds.

(d)  &  (e)  Under  NRDWP, the execution of rural water supply scheme is done by the respective State Government. States are free to plan, design and execute scheme after getting the same approved by the State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC). As  far  as  NRDWP  release  at  the  central  level  is  concerned,  there  are  no  unspent balances of the allocated amount in any  year. Some States are not able to fully utilize the funds released under NRDWP possibly due various reasons specific to the State. As sometimes,  States  send  their  proposals  along  with  the  requisite  documents  in  last quarter of the financial year, the funds are being released in fag end of the year which is possibly  one  of  the  reasons  for  unspent  funds  with  the  States.  The  State  /  UT-wise details of fund unutilized in a particular year under NRDWP during last three years and current year till 17.12.2018 is at Annexure-II .However, such fund does not get lapsed is always available with them as rolling opening balance.

(f) This Ministry carries out Annual Action Plan (AAP) meetings every year between February  and  April  which  are  held  with  the  Departments  of  the  State  Governments dealing with rural drinking water supply, wherein the progress achieved under different components of NRDWP is reviewed and States are directed to expedite the utilization of funds. The physical & financial progress of NRDWP is also monitored in National / Regional / State level review meetings, conferences and video conferences. Officers of the Ministry are also deputed to States to make field visits and review the progress of implementation.
