Statement referred  to  in  reply  to  parts  (a)  to  (b)  in  respect  of  Lok  Sabha  Starred Question no. 470 for reply on 03.04.2025 regarding Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin asked by Smt. Manju Sharma

(a) & (b) To address the problem of delay in the release of State shares, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure has  introduced a new system for just-in-time release of funds under  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  (CSS)  called  Single  Nodal  Account  -  Samayochit Pranaalee Sheeghr Hastaantaran [SNA-SPARSH] which is integrated with e-kuber system of RBI and States' Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS). In this new system, funds are allocated in Public Financial Management System [PFMS] to the States by issuing Mother Sanction in respect of the Centre share. The State Govt. has to make provision for proportionate State share (already defined for the State at the time of onboarding this system) to enable its implementing agencies to push payment files in the new system. The sanction order is issued by Government of India, for corresponding Centre share for each payment file, on daily basis based on payment files received from State Government which is then credited to the intended beneficiaries/working agencies on real time along with matching State share. Hence, in this new system there will not be any delay in release of State share as the State Governments have to make provision for State share in advance against the Mother Sanction and funds are actually released alongwith matching State share.

(a) Assessment  of  Dynamic  Ground  Water  Resources  of  each  State/UT  is  being  annually  carried  out  jointly  by Central  Ground  Water  Board  (CGWB)  and  concerned  State  Nodal/Ground  Water  Departments.  As per  the  latest Assessment of 2024, the Total Annual Ground Water Recharge for Nalgonda district is 1.21 Billion Cubic Meter (BCM) and Total Annual Ground Water Extraction for all uses has been estimated as 0.572 Billion Cubic Meter (Bcm). The Stage of Ground Water Extraction (SoE), which is a measure of Annual Ground Water Extraction over Annual  Extractable  Ground  Water  Resource  is  arrived  at  52.35%  for  the  district  as  a  whole,  indicating  that  the district is in 'Safe' category overall. Further, out of the total 33 Assessment Units (Mandals) in the district, 25 units have been categorized as 'Safe' and only 2 units have been categorized as 'Over-exploited'.

In  addition  to  the  above,  CGWB  also  monitors  groundwater  levels  throughout  the  country  including Nalgonda District of Telangana, four times in every year. Perusal of ground water level data of Nalgonda, monitored during November, 2024, indicates that about 95% of monitored wells are showing water levels in the range of 0 - 10 mbgl (meters below ground level) indicating ease of access to ground water.

Further, in order to assess the long term fluctuation in ground water level in Nalgonda District, the water level  data  collected  by  CGWB  during  November  2024  has  been  compared  with  the  decadal  mean  of  November (2014-2023). Such analysis of water level data indicates that about 65% of the wells monitored have registered rise in ground water levels.

(b) to (e) Atal Bhujal Yojana is not being implemented in the State of Telangana.
