## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) in respect of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. *53 for reply on 25.07.2024 regarding drinking water projects in Rajasthan asked by Shri Rajkumar Roat

(a) & (b) 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/  UTs,  in  August  2019.  JJM  follows  a  universal coverage approach with a strong focus on service delivery to ensure parity in coverage. As such, 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 rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by  States/  UTs  as  on  23.07.2024,  around  11.76  Crore  additional  rural  households  have  been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 23.07.2024, out of 19.32 Crore rural households in the country, around 15 Crore (77.65%) rural households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

Further,  under  JJM  district-wise  details  of  individual  projects/  schemes  covered  under  the  Fifth wise  details  of  tap  water  connections  provided  to  rural  households  in  ST  majority  areas  in  the

Schedule in the country, are not maintained at the Government of India level. However, State/ UTcountry as on 23.07.2024 are at Annex-I.

(c) & (d) As informed by State Government of Rajasthan, total 20 drinking water projects were sanctioned during last five years for the scheduled areas in the State. Out of these 20 projects, work of 13 projects are in progress, 6 projects are under bidding process and 1 project is under financial sanction process. The details of these projects including the timeline for their likely completion are at Annex-II.
