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

(a)  to  (c)  Government  of India has  launched  Jal Shakti  Abhiyan  (JSA)  to  spread  awareness among  all  stakeholders  in  256  water  stressed  districts  about  water  conservation  in  two phases, Phase-I from 1 st July, 2019 to 30 th September, 2019 and Phase-II from 1 st October, 2019 to 30 th November, 2019 in the Southern States which receive retreating monsoon.

Under Jal Shakti Abhiyan, officers, groundwater experts and scientists from the Government of India have worked with State and District officials in these water-stressed districts of the country to  promote  water  conservation  and  water  resource  management  by  focusing  on accelerated implementation of five target interventions, viz. water conservation & rainwater harvesting, renovation of traditional and other water bodies/ tanks, reuse and recharge of bore wells, watershed development and intensive afforestation. With this campaign, huge awareness  has  been  generated  and  various  stakeholders,  viz.  government  departments, agencies,  NGOs,  officials, Panchayats,  individuals,  etc.  have  started  taking  steps  for  water conservation.

Government of India has also launched Jal Jeevan Mission - Har Ghar Jal in August, 2019 which aims at providing potable water at service level of 55 litre per capita per day (lpcd) to every rural household through Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) by 2024.

Water  being  State  subject,  power  to  plan,  approve  and  implement  rural  water  supply schemes  is  vested  with  State  governments.  Government  of  India  supports  the  efforts  of State governments by providing technical and financial assistance. A budgetary allocation of Rs.10,000.66  Crore  has  been  made  for  the  financial  year  2019-20  under  JJM  and  as  on 04.02.2020,  an  amount of  Rs.  6,914.45  Crore  has  been  released  to  the  States/  UTs.
