## ANSWER

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

(a) Since August 2019, Government of India, in partnership with States, is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household in the country.

Water is a state subject. The responsibility of planning, approval, implementation, operation, and maintenance (O&M) of drinking water supply schemes lies with State/UT Governments. The Government of India supports the States by providing technical and financial assistance.

Under JJM, this department maintains the data of coverage of rural water supply in terms of households. At launch of the JJM in August, 2019, there were 3.16 Lakhs rural households in the  State  having  tap  water  supply.  Since  then,  157.19  Lakhs  rural  households  have  been provided  with  tap  connections  in  the  State.  As  on  date,  out  of  total  166.91  Lakhs  rural households in  the  State,  160.36  Lakhs  (96.07%)  households  have  been  provided  tap  water connection. District wise details are at Annex.I

(b)  Based  on  pre-defined  criteria,  this  department  allocates  funds  to  all  States  which  are released subsequently to States fulfilling the criteria for release of funds. At Central level, only State wise allocation and release is made. Further district wise allocation/ release of funds is done by States. State wise details of fund allocation and release is at Annex.II.
