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

- (a) Under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), the Ministry maintains data regarding coverage of piped water supply in terms of habitations and not in terms of  villages.  As  reported  by  States  on  the  online  portal  of  Integrated  Management Information  System  (IMIS),  the  State-wise  number  of  habitations  which  have  been supplied piped water supply during each of the last three years is at Annexure-I.
- (b) & (c)  As reported by States / UTs on IMIS, as on 16.07.2018, 78.14% of total rural habitations are fully covered (getting at least 40 litres per capita per day (lpcd) of safe drinking water), 17.85% habitations are partially covered (getting less than 40 lpcd of safe drinking water) and 4.01% habitations are quality affected (where drinking water is  contaminated  with  at  least  one  chemical  contaminant).  State  wise  details  are  at Annexure-II. With  regards  to usage of drinking  water  sources, 56.04% of  total  rural population is covered with piped drinking water supply. The remaining population is using  drinking  water  from  other  sources  like  handpumps,  tubewell  and  open  wells etc.Separate data for these sources is not maintained by the Ministry.
- (d)Rural  drinking  water  supply  is  a  state  subject.  This  Ministry  provides  financial  and technical  assistance  to  States  for  coverage  of  rural  drinking  water  supply  through NRDWP. Under NRDWP, the execution of rural water supply scheme is done by the respective  State  Government.  States  are  free  to  plan,  design  and  execute  Rural Drinking  Water Supply  Scheme. During 2018-19, an amount of Rs. 7000 Crore has been allocated under NRDWP for coverage of rural water supply schemes and out of which  Rs.  1966.67  Crores  has  been  released  till  date  to  the  States  for  coverage  of drinking water supply.
