## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *201  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  13.03.2025  IN  LOK  SABHA  REGARDING  'WATER  SECURITY WORK PLAN'

(a) Water  is  a  State  subject  and  the  Central  Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  through technical and financial support. The State of Uttar Pradesh has developed the River Basin Assessment and Plan for  their  all  major  River  Basins.  The  State  of  Maharashtra  has  prepared  Integrated  State  Water  Plan  for Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, W.F.R, Tapi and Narmada Basin. The State of Gujarat has prepared Action Plan for Sabarmati River Basin (INDIA). All the three plans have been accepted.

(b) The State Specific Action Plan (SSAPs) was envisioned as a comprehensive policy for integrated water resource management to promote a sustainable outlook on water governance aligned with the State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCCs) formulated by the States under the National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC). The 'Framework for SSAP for the Water Sector' was developed in 2015 and consequently SSAPs were taken up as a strategy in 2016 under Goal-5 of the National Water Mission. The State Specific Action Plans  essentially  consist  of  three  stages  viz.  Draft  Status  Report,  Interim  Report  and  Final  Report. NWM provides  grants  to  all  the  States/UTs  for  the  formulation  of  the  SSAPs  with  the  approval  of  competent authority.  A  sanction  to  the  tune  of  Rs.  50  lakhs  for  'Major'  States  and  Rs.  30  lakhs  for  'Minor'  States  is provided.

(c) The  State  of  Madhya  Pradesh  is  already  included  under  SSAP.  An  amount  of  Rs.  50  lakh  has  been sanctioned,  out  of  which,  amount  of  Rs.  20  lakh  and  Rs.15  lakh  have  been  released  in  2016  and  2023 respectively.

(d) The list of States/UTs which have submitted their reports under various stages of SSAP is annexed .
