## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a) Since August, 2019, Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), in partnership with States, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household of the country, including in Kerala. As reported by the State Government of Kerala, at the time of launch  of  Jal  Jeevan  Mission  in  the  State  on  15.08.2019,  approximately  16.64  lakh  rural households had tap water connections. Since then, 21.14 lakhs additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 30.07.2024, the provision of tap water supply  is  available  to  more  than  37.78  lakhs  (53.33%)  rural  households  in  Kerala.  The parliamentary constituency-wise details under JJM are not maintained at the Government of India level. However, the number of tap water connections provided to rural households, under JJM, in Kerala during the last three years (2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24) and current year, district- wise is annexed.

As  reported  by  the  state  government,  the  number  of  tap  water  connections  provided  to Mavelikkara Lok Sabha constituency during the last three years and the current year is given as under:

*as on 26.07.2024

| Year     | No. of tap water connections provided   |
|----------|-----------------------------------------|
| 2021-22  | 53,007                                  |
| 2022-23  | 44,052                                  |
| 2023-24  | 22,699                                  |
| 2024-25* | 9,236                                   |
| Total    | 1,28,994                                |

- (b) and (c) There is no lack in submission of utilization certificates of Jal Jeevan Mission funds or progress report updation.

(d)  Under JJM, funds are released directly to the States/ UTs and their further district-wise allocations are made and maintained by respective States/ UTs only and not at the Government of India level. As such, the funds allocated to state government of Kerala during last three years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 are Rs.1,804.59 crore, Rs.2,206.54 crore and Rs.1,342.36 crore respectively.  Further,  in  financial  year  2024-25,  an  amount  of  Rs.1,949.36  crore  has  been allocated to state government.

As informed by state government of Kerala, under JJM, approval was obtained for providing 54.45 lakh FHTCs to cover all rural households. As on 26.07.2024, more than 21.14 lakhs FHTCs have been provided which is 38.82% of the total approved tap water connections under JJM. Further, the state has tendered all the schemes under JJM.
