## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH  PATEL)

(a)  to  (d)  During  the  12th  Five  Year  Plan,  States/  UTs  had  targeted  to  provide  safe  drinking water at reasonable distance to 5.56 lakh partially covered [with service level of less than 40 lpcd potable  water]  and  quality-affected  [water  quality issues in ground  water  sources]  rural habitations  and  as  reported,  achieved  the  coverage  in  5.92  lakh  rural  habitations  across  the country. State/ UT-wise details of targets and achievement made therein during the 12th Five Year Plan period is annexed .

(e)  Since  August,  2019  Government  of  India  in  partnership  with  States,  is  implementing  Jal Jeevan  Mission  (JJM)  after  subsuming  erstwhile  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme (NRDWP)  to  make  provision  of  potable  water  to  every  rural  household  through  tap  water connection, by 2024.

A number of steps have been taken to plan and implement JJM in the whole country with speed, inter alia, which  includes joint discussion and finalization of saturation plan and annual action plan (AAP) of States/ UTs, regular review of implementation, workshops/ conferences/ webinars for  capacity  building,  training,  knowledge  sharing,  field  visits  by  multi-disciplinary  team  to provide technical support, etc. A detailed Operational Guideline for the implementation of JJM; Margdarshika  for  Gram  Panchayats  &  VWSCs  to  provide  safe  drinking  water  in  rural households; and Guidelines on a special campaign to provide piped water supply in anganwadi centres, ashramshalas and schools have been shared with States/ UTs to facilitate planning and implementation  of  Jal  Jeevan  Mission.  For  online  monitoring,  JJM-Integrated  Management Information System (IMIS) and JJM-Dashboard has been put in place. Provision has also been made for transparent online financial management through Public Financial Management System (PFMS).
