## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI VEERANNA SOMANNA)

(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 (16.75%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 05.08.2024, around 11.80 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 05.08.2024, out of 19.32 Crore  rural  households  in  the  country,  approximately  15.04  Crore  (77.87%)  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 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 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 2,165 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 Statewise 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 24.64 lakh women have been trained for testing water using FTKs.

A 'Citizen Corner' was also developed on the JJM Dashboard. The corner included display of water quality test results in the public domain to further create awareness and build confidence among people about the quality of water supplies through the PWS in rural areas.
