## ANSWER

## 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.

Further,  under  JJM,  this  department  regularly  conducts  'Functionality  Assessment  of  tap connections'  through  an  independent  3rd  party  agency.  Under  the  assessment  exercise,  the functionality of tap connection is assessed on three parameters i.e. quantity (55 lpcd or more), quality and regularity i.e. water supply for all 12 months in a year or on daily basis. All these parameters are taken to define the functionality of the HH tap water connections, as per specified criteria. As per findings of the last such assessment conducted in 2022, nationally, a total of 3.01 Lakhs households (HHs) from 13,303 villages across the country were randomly covered.

Out of these HHs, tap connections were found working in 86% HHs out of which, 85% HHs were being supplied with drinking water in adequate quantity, 87% of HHs were supplied water of prescribed quality and 80% HHs were found receiving full regular water supply. The assessment

finds that 62 percent of the HHs receive fully functional tap water connections within the premises. Report of the assessment is available in public domain and can be accessed at:

https://jaljeevanmission.gov.in/sites/default/files/202210/national\_report\_of\_functionality\_assessment\_2022.pdf

The  reports  of  the  functionality  assessment  survey  are  shared  with  States/  UTs  for  taking corrective measures as early as possible.

(b)  &  (c)      Government  of  India,  in  partnership  with  States/UTs  including  Maharashtra  is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission, since August, 2019, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household in the country. The district-wise number of households including those in Nagpur  district,  getting  tap  water  supply  in  their  homes  under  JJM  since  its  inception  in Maharashtra is at Annexure .

(d)   Drinking water is a state subject and the power to plan, approve and implement drinking water  supply  schemes/projects  is  vested  in  the  State  Government.  As  per  the  operational guidelines  of  JJM,  the  State  Water  and  Sanitation  Mission  (SWSM)  and  District  Water  and Sanitation Mission (DWSM) is responsible for the overall implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission at the state and district level respectively.

Under  Jal  Jeevan  Mission  (JJM),  the  Department  of  Drinking  Water  and  Sanitation  provides financial,  policy  guidance  and  technical  assistance  to  the  States  and  Union  Territories  for implementing their drinking water supply schemes.

Significant progress has been made in the country since the launch of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), towards enhancing access to tap water to rural households. At the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August  2019,  only  3.23  Crore  (~17%)  rural  households  were  reported  to  have  tap  water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 24.03.2025, around 12.31 Crore additional rural  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water  connections  under  JJM.  Thus,  as  on 24.03.2025, out of 19.36 Crore rural households in the country, more than 15.54 Crore (80.26%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.
