.

- (a) Yes, Madam.
- (b) Yes,  Madam.  State/UT-wise  rural  sanitation  coverage  as  on  2.10.2014  and  as  on 30.09.2018 is given at Annexure-1 .
- (c) State/UT-wise  number  ofindividual  household  latrines  (IHHLs)  constructed  under Swachh  Bharat  Mission  [SBM(G)]as  on  17.12.2018,as  reported  by  the  States/UTs  on Integrated Management Information System of SBM(G),are given at Annexure-2
- (d) The budget allocation under SBM(G)  as per Budget Estimates 2018-19 is Rs.15343.10 crore. In addition, funds up to Rs.15,000 crore havealso been provisioned to be raised as Extra Budgetary Resources.

(e) Sanitation  is  mainly  a  behavioral  issue.  It  involves  change  of  mindset  of  people  to stop  open  defecation  and  to  adopt  safe  sanitation  practices.Under  SBM(G),  the  preferable approach  is  to  adopt  Community  Approaches  to  Sanitation  (CAS)  focusing  heavily  on triggering entire communities and on achieving collective behavioral change with emphasis on awareness generation.  Upto 5% of the programme funds can be spent on Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and capacity building at the State and District level, and upto 3% at the Central level. Massive media campaigns have been started at national level using Audio Visual (TV) and Audio (Radio) aids. States are also carrying out IEC campaign including interpersonal Communication (IPC). Cleanliness drives and awareness campaigns are also held at regular intervals.  NigraniSamities have been formed in the villages to ensure that the people use the toilets and not go for open defecation.  Regular field visits including morning  follow ups are undertaken by the Government officials to monitor and ensure the usage  of  toilets.    Besides  conventional  IEC  tools,  social  media  is  also  being  used  for spreading the mass awareness. Swachh Bharat Whatsapp group has been created involving officials of Government of India and all the States.  Similar groups for individual States have been formed.  A Facebook page for SBM(G) has been created and twitter handles are also active. Media celebrities have been roped in as brand ambassadors.

(f) The  SBM(G) and  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme(NRDWP)  guidelines also provide for convergence towards implementation of the programmes of sanitation and water, and to maximize the availability of water for sanitation purposes.  Advisories have also been issued to the States for prioritizing provision of Piped Water Supply in Open Defecation Free (ODF) villages.
