## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f) 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, including those in the villages of Kalahandi and Naupada districts in Odisha. Towards this  end,  the  Government  of  India  launched  the  Jal  Jeevan  Mission  (JJM),  to  be  implemented  in partnership  with  states,  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. States have been advised to complete all the works taken up under JJM within the Mission Period.

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 3.11 lakh (3.51%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections in the

State of Odisha. So far, as reported by State as on 11.12.2023, around 57.66 lakh additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 11.12.2023, out of 88.64 lakh rural households in the country, approximately 60.77 lakh (68.56%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes. Year-wise and block-wise details of tap water connection in Kalahandi and Naupada districts of Odisha are annexed . Further, as on 11.12.2023, out  of  2,016  villages  in  Kalahandi  district,  1,641  are  reported  to  have  tap  water  connections. Similarly, out of 644 villages in Naupada district, 639 are reported to have tap water connections.

Under JJM, the funds are allocated and released State wise. Further distribution/ allocation of funds is  done  by  respective  States/  UTs  and  district-wise  and  project-wise  fund  allocations  are  not maintained centrally. Since launch of JJM in Aug, 2019, the details of funds allocated to the State of Odisha is given below:
