## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a)  Government of India is committed to make provision for safe & potable tap water supply in  adequate  quantity,  of  prescribed  quality  and  on  a  regular  &  long-term  basis  to  all  rural households in the country. Towards this end, the Government of India launched the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), being implemented in partnership with States, since August 2019, including in  Uttar  Pradesh. The  Government of  India supports the States by  providing technical and financial assistance.

Significant  progress  has  been  made  in  the  country  since  the  launch  of  Jal  Jeevan  Mission, towards enhancing access to tap water to rural households. At the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 3.23 Crore (16.71%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections.  So  far,  as  reported  by  State/UTs  as  on  25.03.2025,  around  12.31  Crore additional  rural  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water  connections.  Thus,  as  on 25.03.2025, out of 19.36 Crore rural households in the country, approximately 15.54 Crore (80.29%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh, at the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 5.16 Lakhs (1.93%)  rural  households  were  reported  to  have  tap  water  connections. As  on  25.03.2025, around 2.32 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections in  the  State.  Thus,  as  on  25.03.2025,  out  of  2.67  Crore  rural  households  in  the  State, approximately 2.37 Crore (88.81%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

(b) The details of the funds allocated and released to State of UP under JJM during the last three years and the current year are as under:

However, further fund could not be released due to revision of budget at Revised Estimate (RE) stage and  Rs.  22,694  crore  only  was  provided  at  RE  stage, in  view  of  the  total  Central  outlay approved by the Cabinet in 2019.
