## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JALSHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a) to (c) Since August 2019, Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), a centrally sponsored scheme, is being implemented in partnership with States, to make provision of potable tap water supply to every rural household of the country including Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, on regular and long-term basis.

As reported by Govt. of Maharashtra, at the time of launch of Jal Jeevan Mission in the State on 15 th August, 2019, out of 146.73 lakh rural households, 48.44 lakh households (33%) had tap water connections.  Since  then,  60.10  lakh  additional  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water connections. Thus, as on 21.03.2023, the provision of tap water supply is available to 108.62 lakh (74%) households in Maharashtra.

Similarly, as reported by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh, at the time of launch of Jal Jeevan Mission in the State on 15 th August, 2019, out of 265.18 lakh rural households, 5.16 lakh (2%) households had tap water connections. Since then, 84.93 lakh additional households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 20.03.2023, the provision of tap water supply is available to 90.10 lakh (34%) households in Uttar Pradesh.

Power to plan, approve and implement water supply schemes under Jal Jeevan Mission is vested with  respective  State  Governments.

However, year-wise details of Central fund allocated, fund drawn and fund utilization reported by the State of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh under Jal Jeevan Mission, are at Annex .I
