## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

- (a) District-wise  number of Individual household latrines (IHHLs) constructed under Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)] in Gujarat, as per the data reported by the State on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM(G) are given at Annexure . Under  SBM(G),  funds  are  released  to  States/UTs.  Further  distribution  of  the  same  to  the Districts/Blocks/Gram  Panchayats  is  done  by  the  States/UTs.    Details  of  Centre  share  funds released to the State of Gujarat under SBM(G) during the last three years and the funds utilised as per the utilisation certificates received from the State are as under:

| Financial Year   |   Funds released (Rs. in crore) |   Funds utilised (Rs. in crore) |
|------------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 2018-19          |                          192.92 |                          191.69 |
| 2019-20          |                          238.45 |                          660.19 |
| 2020-21          |                          312.56 |                          383.13 |

Utilisation  of  funds  in  2019-20  and  2020-21  is  more  than  the  release  amount.    This  is  on account of availability of unspent funds of previous years with the State and interest amounts accrued, etc.

(b) All the villages in the country including Gujarat have declared themselves Open Defecation Free (ODF) as on 2.10.2019.  The benefits of ODF are accrued to all the people in a village. However, with reference to no. of IHHLs constructed, estimated number of persons benefitted under SBM (G) in Gujarat (assuming 5 persons per household) is 2,10,17,030.

(c) As  per  the  data  reported  by  Gujarat  on  the  IMIS  of  SBM(G),  42,03,406  Individual household latrines (IHHLs) have been constructed in the State under SBM(G) from 2014-15 to 2021-22.
