## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

- (a) & (b) Since August 2019, Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), in  partnership  with  States/  UTs,  to  make  provision  of  tap  water  supply  to  every  rural household of the country. Drinking Water is a state subject, and hence, the responsibility of planning, approval, implementation, operation, and maintenance of drinking water supply schemes, including those under the Jal Jeevan Mission, lies with State/UT Governments. The Government of India supports the States by providing technical and financial assistance. As reported by State Government of Andhra Pradesh, all 427 villages of Nandyal District are identified for piped water supply infrastructure under JJM. Out of 427 villages, the water supply in 349 villages are planned with single-village-scheme (SVS) and 78 villages are planned with multi-village schemes (MVS).
- (c) 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. Since the launch of JJM, Rs. 16,855.67 crore has been allocated to Andhra Pradesh, of which the state has drawn only Rs. 2,254.89 crore.

Further,  as  informed  by  the  State  Government,  the  total  expenditure  for  the  schemes  in Nandyal  district  is  Rs.  23,969.64  lakh  is  shared  in  the  ratio  of  50:50  between  Central government and State Government.

- (d) There are 1612 Schemes taken under JJM in Nandyal district. The work order for all the schemes have been issued. Out of 1,612 Schemes, 5 Schemes are completed and the work of 1,607 schemes is ongoing. The non-availability of timely State share had been major impediment in completion of Schemes, inter alia.

To  expedite  the  provision  of  tap  water  connections  to  all  rural  households  in  the  state including  Nandyal  district,  concerted  efforts  have  been  made  to  accelerate  the  pace  of implementation of JJM on ground. These include measures such as holding high level joint review meetings with the State government on regular basis and visits of multi-disciplinary teams  from  the  department  to  highlight  areas  which  need  attention  for  expediting implementation in a mission mode to make provision of tap water supply to all households in a time bound manner.

- (e) As reported by the State government, in Nandyal district, at the start of JJM, 1,22,973 rural households had tap water connections. Since then, 1,36,661 additional  rural  households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 25.11.2024, out of 3,46,130 rural households, the provision of tap water supply is available to 2,59,634 (75.01%) rural households in the district. The State government of Andhra Pradesh has informed that all rural  households,  including  those  in  Nandyal  district,  will  be  provided  with  tap  water connections by March, 2027.
- (f) As informed by State government, there are no greywater  management  systems implemented under JJM. However, as reported on SBM(G) IMIS there are 129 villages where  greywater management system has been  implemented in Nandyal district and 30 villages have been saturated with grey water management, systems. There are 91 community level  greywater  management  systems  using  Phytorid,  DEWATS,  Wetlands,  Duckweed Pond  and  40  WSP-3/5-Pond  System  implemented  in  the  District.  In  addition,  6,191 household level greywater management system such as Soak pits, leach pits, Magic pits, Kitchen Gardens are implemented in the District.
