## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) : Government of India is committed to make provision for safe & potable tap water supply in adequate quantity i.e. 55 LPCD, of prescribed quality and on a regular & longterm  basis  to  all  rural  households  in  the  country.  Towards  this  end,  since  August  2019, Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in partnership with States to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household. Water being a state subject, the responsibility  of  planning,  approval,  implementation,  operation,  and  maintenance  of drinking water supply schemes/ works, 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.

At the time of launch of JJM, in Andhra Pradesh, 30.74 Lakhs rural households (32.18%) of the State had tap water connections. Since then, about 39.72 Lakhs households in rural areas have been provided with tap water connections and as on 09.02.2025, out of total 95.53 Lakhs rural households in the State, about 70.46 Lakhs (73.76%) households are having tap water connections including 8.66 lakhs SC and 3.78 lakhs ST household, respectively.

Similarly, at launch of JJM, around 2.40 Lakhs rural households (57.58%) in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh had tap water connections. Since then, about 1.76 Lakhs households in rural areas have been provided with tap water connections. As on 09.02.2025, out of total 4.17  Lakhs rural  households  in  the  district,  around  4.16  Lakhs  (99.82%)  households  are having  tap  water  connections  including  1.19  Lakhs  SC  and  0.26  Lakhs  ST  households, respectively. Data of OBC is not maintained by this Department.

As per information provided by State Government, as on 09.02.2025, there are total of 4,018 habitations in the Tirupati district, of which 487 habitations are marked as 'ST-concentrated' and 1,331 habitations are marked as 'SC-concentrated'. Out of these, 485 'ST- concentrated' and 1,328 'SC-concentrated' habitations have been saturated as on 09.02.2025.

To encourage the community participation, the operational guideline for the implementation of JJM provide for constitution of a Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC)/ Paani Samiti/ User Group, etc. to carry out the responsibilities of water supply management in the village. This Committee typically consists of 10-15 members including up to 25% elected panchayat  members,  50%  women,  and  the  members  from  weaker  section  (SC/  ST)  in proportion to their population out of the remaining 25%.

In Tirupati district, there are 908 villages out of which VWSCs have been formed in 901 villages.  This  has  resulted  in  increased  participation  of  women  in  water  management  at village level.

The State-wise details of tap water connections provided under JJM during last 5 years is attached at Annexure .
