## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (d): Water is a State subject and management of drinking water is the responsibility of the State Government/ Urban Local Bodies. Government  of  India  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  through schematic interventions/ advisories. It provides financial and technical support to the States through various schemes/ Missions such as Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation 2.0 (AMRUT 2.0).

Under  AMRUT  2.0,  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs),  through  their respective SHPSCs, have been empowered to select, appraise, prioritise and implement projects within the broad framework of Mission guidelines. The  Mission  guidelines  have  provisions  for  formation  of  State  High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the State, to monitor the implementation of the scheme at the State/ UT level. State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) headed by the Secretary, Urban Development & Housing Department provides technical support to the SHPSC in monitoring and supervising the scheme at the State level. Further,  an  Apex  Committee  constituted  under  the  ambit  of  Mission guidelines reviews and monitor the Mission periodically. For assessment and monitoring of work done under AMRUT in the States/ UTs, there is a provision of Independent Review and Monitoring Agencies (IRMAs). Also, in order to fast-track the implementation of AMRUT 2.0, the progress is periodically reviewed and monitored through regular video conferences/ webinars/ workshops/ site-visits etc. by Ministry of  Housing and Urban Affairs  (MoHUA)  with  the  States/  UTs  and  ULBs.  There  is  a  dedicated AMRUT 2.0 online portal for tracking progress and project-wise outcomes.

In Ernakulam District, 86 projects worth ₹ 471.96 crore have been approved under AMRUT 2.0. The details of projects approved in various Urban Local Bodies of Ernakulam District are as under:
