## ANSWER

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

- (a) and (b) Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)] was launched by the Government on 2nd October, 2014 with the main aim to make the country Open Defecation Free (ODF) by 2 nd October, 2019, by providing access to toilets to all the rural households. The progress under the programme is regularly reviewed/monitored by Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation through the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM (G) and review meetings held with the States. As per the data reported by the States/UTs on the IMIS, more than  10.8  crore  individual  household  latrines  (IHHLs)  and  1,99,755  Community  Sanitary Complexes  (CSCs)  have  so  far  been  constructed  from  02.10.2014  to  13.12.2021,  across  the rural areas of the country (including Maharashtra). State/UT-wise details of IHHLs and CSCs constructed under SBM (G) are given at Annexure .    The Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation  has  also  conducted  three  rounds  of  National  Annual  Rural  Sanitation  Survey (NARSS) during 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20, through an Independent Verification Agency. As  per  the  results  of  NARSS  2019-20,  94.4%  rural  households  had  access  to  toilets.    Rural sanitation coverage in the country as on 2.10.2014 was 38.7%. This has now increased to 100% and  all  the  villages  in  the  country  (including  Maharashtra)  have  declared  themselves  ODF. Having achieved the outcomes of ODF, Phase II of SBM (G) is now being implemented with the  focus  to  sustain  the  ODF  status  and  to  cover  all  villages  in  the  country  with  Solid  and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) by 2024-25 i.e. to convert the villages from ODF to ODF Plus.
- (c) Under SBM (G), Centre share funds are released to the States. Further, distribution of the  same  to  the  districts  is  done  by  the  States.    Total  Centre  share  funds  amounting  to Rs.4594.47 crore have been released to Maharashtra under SBM (G) from 2014-15 to 2021-22, and as per the utilisation certificates submitted by the State, Rs.4125 crore have been utilised.
