## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f) Since August 2019, Government of India in partnership with States is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)-Har Ghar Jal to make provision of potable water to every rural household of the country by 2024, through tap water connection.

At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission, 3.23 Crore (17%) households were reported to  have  tap  water  connections.  So  far,  around  7.48  Crore  (38%)  rural  households  have  been provided with tap water connections in last 3 years. Thus, as on 12.12.2022, out of 19.36 Crore rural households in the country, around 10.71 Crore (55%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes and the remaining 8.65 Crore rural households are planned to be covered by 2024. State/ UT-wise details of tap water connections provided so far are annexed .

For  successful  implementation  of  the  mission  across  the  country,  in  2019-20,  a  sum  of  Rs. 10,000 Crore, in 2020-21, Rs. 11,000 Crore, in 2021-22, Rs. 40,125 Crore was utilized. Further, in 2022-23, out of Rs.60,000 Crore allocated for the mission, as on 12.12.2022, an amount of Rs. 22,774.55 Crore has been released to the eligible States/ UTs.

Under JJM, it has been envisaged to carry out regular functionality assessment, evaluation and impact assessment. So far, no impact assessment has been carried out by the Ministry. However, Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation, undertakes annual assessment of the functionality of household tap water connections provided under the Mission, through an independent thirdparty agency, based on standard statistical sampling. During the functionality assessment 202122, it was found that 86% of households had working tap connections. Out of these, 85% were getting water in adequate quantity, 80% were getting water regularly as per the schedule of water supply for their piped water supply scheme, and 87% of households were receiving water as per the prescribed water quality standards.
