## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI ( SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU )

(a)  to  (c) The State  Governments  are  mandated  to  take  up  re-vitalisation  and  rejuvenation  of  water  bodies  in  their respective  State.  However,  this  Ministry  is  providing  partial  financial  assistance  to  the  identified  projects  under  the scheme Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies, which is a component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana -Har Khet Ko Pani (PMKSY-HKKP).

The details of water bodies re-vitalised/ rejuvenated with financial assistance under the above scheme of this Ministry, for the period 2014-15 till date, State and year wise, are given at Annexure-I.

Further, approval of a cluster of projects is normally the financial year in which its first installment is released. The work is targeted for completion in two years subsequent to the release of first installment. However, in deserving cases, time extension is also being provided by this Ministry on case to case basis.

Apart from the above scheme, in 2019, renovation of traditional water bodies is also being supported by this Ministry under Jal Shakti Abhiyan. The campaign was launched in 2019, followed in 2021, by 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch The Rain' (JSA:CTR) campaign. Focused interventions under these annual campaigns taken up by the Government of India and the State Governments, inter-alia, include renovation of traditional and other water bodies/ tanks, enumeration, geotagging  and  making  inventory  of  all  water  bodies,  and  removal  of  encroachments  of  tanks/  lakes,  and  de-silting  of tanks, and protection of water catchment area. After inclusion of hte activitiy under this Ministry's Jal Shakti Abhiyan in 2021, details of the water bodies covered under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan of this Ministry is placed at Annexure-II.

(d) & (e) Government of Punjab is yet to submit any proposal for financial assistance under RRR of Water Bodies scheme in the last five years.
