## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

(a) to (e) 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), to be implemented in partnership with states including Karnataka, in August 2019. 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.

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 (16.8%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 11.12.2023, around 10.55 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 11.12.2023, out of 19.24

Crore  rural  households  in  the  country,  approximately  13.79  Crore  (71.67%)  households  are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

Similarly in Karnataka, at the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 24.51 lakh (24.23%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by State, as on 11.12.2023, around 47.42 lakh additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections  under  JJM.  Thus,  as  on  11.12.2023,  out  of  1.0117  Crore  rural  households  in Karnataka, approximately 71.93 (71.10%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their  homes.  The  district-wise  details  of  household  with  tap  water  connection  in  Karnataka  is Annexed . The state government has been advised to achieve the targets within the Mission Period.

To expedite the planning and implementation, as well as monitoring and handholding States/ UTs including Karnataka, Government of India has taken a number of steps which inter alia includes discussion and finalization of annual action plan (AAP) in consultation with States/ UTs, regular review of planning and implementation, workshops/ conferences/ webinars for capacity building and knowledge sharing, field visits by multi-disciplinary team to provide technical support, etc. To bring  transparency  and  effective  monitoring,  an  online  'JJM  dashboard'  has  been  created, which provides State/ UT, district, and village-wise progress as well as status of provision of tap water supply to rural homes. Third party inspection agencies have been deployed to ensure quality of implementation.

The year-wise details of funds allocated, released, and utilized by Karnataka along with state share, under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) are as under:
