## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

- (a)  to  (c).As  per  the  Handbook of Urban Statistics, 2019 published by  Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban  Affairs,  91.4%  households  in urban  India  have  access  to  source  of  drinking  water,  81.4% urban  households  have  access  to  latrines  and  81.8%  urban households have access to drainage facilities.

Drinking water and sanitation are State subjects. The Central Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  States  and  Union Territories  (UTs)  through  various  program  interventions,  in improving  these  facilities  in  the  selected  cities/towns.  The Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)was launched by the Government of India on 25 June, 2015 to improve basic infrastructure in500 selected cities/towns  throughout  the  country  with  focus  on  water supply;  sewerage  and  septage  management;  storm  water drainage; non-motorised urban transport; and development of parks and green spaces.

Selection, appraisal, approval and implementation of individual projects  under  AMRUT  is  the  responsibility  of  the  State/UT. The  Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban  Affairs  approves  the  State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) submitted by the States/UTs and releases Central Assistance as per Mission guidelines.

SAAPs  of  all  the  States/UTs  amounting  to  ₹77,640  crore, including committed Central Assistance of ₹35,990 crore, have been approved for the entire Mission period under AMRUT, of which, projects costing ₹39,011 crore have been approved in the  water  supply  sector  and  projects  costing  ₹32,456  crore septage have been approved in the sewerage and management sector.

Similarly, Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U) was launched by  the  Government  of  India  on  02.10.2014.    Under  SBM-U, assessment of requirement of sanitation infrastructure is done by  the  State  Governments    and  the  proposals  are  sent accordingly to Government of India for funding of the Central Share  of  the  project  cost.    The  proposal  are  formulated  and approved by State High Powered Committee.

- (d). Central Assistance for implementation of projects under AMRUT & SBM-U are allocated for the entire Mission period, which are financial year 2015-16 to financial year 2019-20 for AMRUT and financial year 2014-15 to financial year 2019-20 for SBM-U, and not year-wise.
