## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

- (a): Sanitation  and  water  supply  are  State  subjects.  Government  of India through its various program interventions, supplements the efforts of  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  in  improving  these  facilities.  Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) was launched in June 2015 to improve basic infrastructure in 500 cities with focus on water supply, sewerage & septage management, storm water drainage,  non-motorized  urban  transport  and  development  of  parks  & green  spaces.  Of  the  fourteen  Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs),  three  cities namely Kaithal, Thanesar & Yamunanagar are covered under AMRUT in Kurukshetra Parliamentary Constituency of the State of Haryana. State has taken up 24 projects worth ₹179.97 crore in these AMRUT cities. Of this  23  projects  worth  ₹146.27  crore  have  already  been  completed, details are at ANNEXURE. Further,  as  per  the  information  updated  by

Government of Haryana on AMRUT 2.0 collaboration platform, out of total 3,04,977  households  2,22,478  households  (73%)  have  tap  connections and 1,86,429 households (61%) have sewerage connection / are covered with septage facilities.

(b): AMRUT 2.0 scheme has been launched on 01 October, 2021 for the period of 05 years i.e. from the financial year 2021-22 to 2025-26. Mission envisages  to  make  cities  'water  secure'  through  circular  economy  of water focusing on universal coverage of functional water tap connections  in  all  the  statutory  towns  in  the  country,  water  source conservation, rejuvenation of water bodies and wells, recycle/ reuse of treated water and rainwater harvesting. Mission also aims at providing sewage/ septage management to all households of 500 cities covered in first phase of the AMRUT scheme in convergence with State schemes.

All the 14 ULBs/ Cities of Kurukshetra Parliamentary Constituency are covered under AMRUT 2.0.

(c): Yes Sir. Under AMRUT  2.0, Pey Jal Survekshan is being undertaken in all 500 AMRUT cities as a challenge process to assess the compliance of service level benchmarks with respect to quality, quantity and coverage of water supply, sewerage & septage management, extent of reuse & recycle of used water and conservation of water bodies in the city. Pey Jal Survekshan will instill healthy competition among cities and act  as  a  monitoring  tool  and  Mission  accelerator.  Field  verification  for Pey Jal Survekshan is underway.
