## ANSWER

## MINISTEROF STATEFOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RATTAN LAL KATARIA)

(a) to (f) Rural water supply is a State subject. Government of India supplements the efforts of States/  UTsby  providing  financial  and  technical  assistance  through  the  centrally  sponsored scheme Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)which aims at providing potable waterto every rural household with Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) at service level of 55 litre per capita per day (lpcd)  by  2024.While  allocating  the  fund  under  JJM  to  States/  UTs,  10%  weightage  has  been given  to  the  population  residing  in  habitations  affected  by  chemical  contaminants  including Arsenic and Iron.

States have also been advised to ensure potable water in quality affected habitations especially with Arsenic and Fluoride contaminants on priority while implementing schemes under the JJM. As planning and implementation of piped water supply scheme based on a safe water source will take  time,  as  a  purely  interim  measure,  installation  of  Community  Water  Purification  Plants

(CWPPs) may be taken up to provide 8-10 lpcd potable water to meet drinking and cooking need of every household residing in such villages/ habitations.

In  March  2016,  with  the  recommendation  of  NITI  Aayog,  an  amount  of 1,000  Crore  was released  to  various  Arsenic  &  Fluoride  affected  States  for  installation  of  community  water purification plants and commissioning of piped water supply schemes.

Further, in March 2017, National Water Quality Sub-Mission (NWQSM) was launched as a part of National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), which has now been subsumed under JalJeevan  Mission,  to  provide  safe  drinking  water  to  27,544  Arsenic/  Fluoride  affected  rural habitations in the country.

The state-wise number of community water purification plants installed is at Annexure-I.

State-wise  details  of  fund  released  and  expenditure  incurred  under  NWQSM  and  'With recommendation of NITI Aayog' is at Annexure-II.
