## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a)  to  (e)  Drinking  Water  being  a  State  subject,  it  is  States,  who  plan,  design,  approve  and implement  drinking  water  supply  schemes.  Government  of  India  supplements  the  efforts  of  the States by providing technical and financial assistance. Since August 2019, Government of India, in partnership with States, is implementing centrally sponsored programme Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)Har Ghar Jal to enable all rural household identified by the  respective state  government, to have assured potable water through tap connection, by 2024.

Further, States carry out survey in respect of number of rural households which are to be provided with tap water connection and update the same on JJM-IMIS portal. At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission, 3.23 Crore (17%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 07.08.2023, around 9.52 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 07.08.2023, out of 19.41 Crore rural households in the country, around 12.75 Crore (65.69%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes and the remaining 6.66 Crore (34.31%) are likely to be covered by 2024.
