- (c) the time by which the benefit of the said scheme is likely to be provided in Ratlam, Jhabua and Alirajpur of Madhya Pradesh which are tribal dominated and fluoride-affected areas?

## ANSWER

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

(a)  Drinking  water  is  a  State  subject.  Power to  plan,  design,  formulate,  approve,  implement, operate and maintain water supply schemes is vested with States.

As per the operational guidelines for the implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM),  single village schemes (SVS) are to be implemented in villages having adequate groundwater/ spring water/ local or surface water sources which are either of prescribed quality or treatable.

Multi Village Schemes (MVS) through bulk water transfer are planned in villages with water quality issues and paucity of surface water sources. Further, in drought-prone and desert areas, where  it  is  not  possible  to  have  water  supply  through  conjunctive  use,  a  similar  approach  to transfer bulk water from long distance are adopted. In States with water-scarce/ areas lying in rain-shadow region with inadequate rainfall, it is necessary to plan for regional water supply schemes covering both urban and rural areas of this region by sourcing water from a perennial surface source.

The  States  have  to  judiciously  plan  works  under  MVS,  keeping  in  view  the  availability  of resources and future operation & maintenance expenditure.

- (b) The number of rural households in the country for which provision for tap water supply has been made, as on 11.3.2022, along with the number of remaining rural households, State/UTwise, is annexed.

(c) The State Government of Madhya Pradesh has informed that works under JJM have been started in Ratlam, Jhabua and Alirajpur districts and rural households in these districts are to be provided tap water supply by 2024.It has further informed that the fluoride affected habitations in Ratlam, and Alirajpur districts have been covered through supply of safe drinking water and there are no fluoride affected areas in Jhabua district.
