## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI  RATTAN  LAL  KATARIA)

(a) to (e)   Government of India in partnership with States, is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) to provide potable tap water supply of prescribed quality to every rural household in the country including Chhattisgarh, by 2024. As per Operational Guidelines for the implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission, BIS-10500 proocol is to be followed by States/ UTs for ensuring potable drinking water to rural households.

Under  JJM,  while  planning  water  supply  schemes  to  provide  tap  water  supply  to  rural households,  priority  is  given  to  quality-affected  habitations,  which inter  alia includes habitations having  Fluoride  contamination  beyond  permissible  limit  in  drinking  water sources.

Since, planning, implementation and commissioning of piped water supply schemes based on a safe water source likely to take time, States/ UTs have been advised to install community water  purification  plants  (CWPPs)  in  such  habitations,  purely  as  an  interim  measure,  to provide potable water to every household at the rate of 8-10 litre per capita per day to meet their drinking and cooking requirements.

While  allocating  the  funds  to  States/  UTs  in  a  particular  financial  year,  10%  weightage  is given to  the population  residing  in habitations  affected by  chemical contaminants  including Arsenic and Fluoride, as on 31 st March of the preceding financial year.

In  Chhattisgarh,  as  reported  by  the  State,  at  the  time  of  launch  of  Jal  Jeevan  Mission,  268 habitations  were  having  Fluoride  contamination  beyond  permissible  limit  in  drinking  water sources. Now, such 150 habitations are left.

(f)   The State/UT-wise details of fund allocation, fund drawn and reported fund utilizations under  JJM  including  Chhattisgarh  for  2019-20  and  2020-21  is  at Annex-I and Annex-II respectively.
