Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state:

(a) the details of works and projects undertaken under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in Kerala;

(b) whether the Government has taken any special initiative for districts with large percentage of households without water supply and if so, the details thereof; and

(c) whether the Government proposes to provide water connection to all households and if so, the estimated time of completion proposed for the projects?

## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c) Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jalin partnership  with  States/  UTs.  Drinking  Water  is  a  State  subject  and  accordingly  the responsibility  to  plan,  design,  approve  and  implement  drinking  water  supply  schemes  lies with States. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States by providing  technical and financial assistance.

As reported by Govt. of Kerala, at the time of launch of Jal Jeevan Missionin the State on 15 th August, 2019, out of 70.68 lakh rural households, 16.64 lakh households (23.54%) had tap water connections. Since then,12.92 lakh households (18.28%) have been provided with tap water  connections  as  on  15.07.2022,  thus  increasing  the  tap  water  supply  to  29.56  lakh households  (41.82%).  Remaining  41.12  lakhs  rural  households  areplanned  to  be  provided with tap water connection by 2024.

Under  JJM,  to  ensure  deployment  of  sufficient  financial  resources  for  completion  of remaining work, 20% weightage is assigned to balance individual household connections to be  provided,  while  allocating  the  fundsto  States/UTs.  The  JJM  is  implemented  with  a saturation approach and accordingly higher priority is given to districts with relatively lower coverage.
