## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) Government of India, in partnership with States, is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)  since  August,  2019  to  provide  potable  tap  water  supply  in  adequate  quantity,  of prescribed quality and on regular & long-term basis to every rural household in the country. Drinking Water being a state subject, 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 including Bihar 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 18.12.2023, around 10.61 Crore additional rural  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water  connections  under  JJM.  Thus,  as  on 18.12.2023, out of 19.24 Crore rural households in the country, approximately 13.84 Crore (71.94%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

State/ UT-wise details of Central fund allocated, fund drawn and fund utilization reported under Jal Jeevan Mission during 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 as on date for supply of safe and potable water to households including to test and monitor the quality of drinking water are at Annex-I. The State Government of Bihar has not drawn funds from 2021-22 onwards.

As per the Operational Guidelines, States/ UTs can utilize up to 2% of the annual allocation of funds under JJM for Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance (WQM&S) activities inter alia which includes setting up and strengthening of water quality testing laboratories, procurement of equipment, instruments, chemicals, glassware, consumables, hiring of skilled manpower, surveillance  by  community  using  field  test  kits  (FTKs),  awareness  generation,  educational programmes on water quality, accreditation/recognition of laboratories, etc.

As reported by States/UTs, so far 2,111 drinking water quality testing laboratories at different levels  viz.  State,  regional,  district,  sub-division  and/or  block  level,  have  been  set  up  in  the country. State-wise details of drinking water quality testing laboratories is at Annex-II. To encourage water quality testing  to  ensure  potable  drinking  water  supply,  States/  UTs  have opened water quality testing laboratories to general public for testing of their water samples at a nominal rate.

Under Jal Jeevan Mission, as per existing guidelines, Bureau of Indian Standards' BIS:10500 standards are adopted as benchmarks for quality of water being supplied through the piped water supply schemes.  To enable States/ UTs to test water samples for water quality, and for sample collection, reporting, monitoring and surveillance of drinking water sources, an online JJM - Water Quality Management Information System (WQMIS) portal has been developed. The State-wise details of water quality test reported through WQMIS are available in public domain and can be accessed at: https://ejalshakti.gov.in/WQMIS/Main/report

In order to empower the communities to monitor the water quality States/ UTs have also been advised to identify and train 5 persons, preferably women, in every village to conduct water quality testing using Field Testing Kits (FTKs)/ bacteriological vials at village level and report the same on the WQMIS portal. So far, as reported by States/UTs, more than 23.49 lakh women have been trained for testing water using FTKs.
