## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a)  &  (b)  The  Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  and  Sanitation  under  National  Rural Drinking water Programme (NRDWP) has recently issued directions to States to prioritize coverage of all arsenic and fluoride affected habitations and to cover all such  habitations  either  through  piped  water  supply  from  safe  source  or  with  at least 8-10 litres per capita per day (lpcd) potable water through community water purification  plants  by  March  2017.  The  States  have  also  been  asked  to  provide piped drinking water supply to all Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojna (SAGY) villages and to prioritize coverage of all Open Defecation Free (ODF) villages with piped water supply.

The funding pattern of the NRDWP has been recently modified. The component wise details of the changes in funding pattern of NRDWP, component wise is at Annexure-I.

- (c) & (d) Providing drinking water to the rural population is a dynamic and continuous process. This Ministry provides financial and technical assistance to the States to strengthen  rural  drinking  water  supply.  The  State  Governments  are  vested  with powers  to  select,  plan,  approve  and  implement  drinking  water  supply  schemes. States have State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC) which approves the  rural  drinking  water  supply  projects  to  be  taken  up  in  the  State.  As  per information provided by State Governments on online portal Integrated Management  Information  System  (IMIS)  of  the  Ministry,  as  on  18.07.2016, 76.25% of the rural habitations have been covered with a provision of at least 40 litres per capita per day (lpcd). 19.58% rural habitations are partially covered i.e. rural population in these habitations are getting less than 40 lpcd of drinking water supply. Further, remaining 4.17% of rural habitations are quality affected in which one or more water sources contain chemical contaminant like Arsenic, Fluoride, Iron etc. The State/UT wise details of fully covered, partially covered and quality affected habitations as on 18.07.2016 are at Annexure-II.

The  coverage  of  a  rural  habitations  with  drinking  water  supply  is  not    static  as many  of the fully covered habitations slip back to partially covered status due to factors like drying up of source due to insufficient recharge of groundwater during scanty rainfall or in drought situation.

- (e) & (f) The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation reviews the implementation of  the  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP)  periodically  by conducting national and regional review meetings and video conferences with the State  Department officers dealing with rural water supply. Conferences of State Secretaries in-charge of Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation of all States was recently held on 03.02.2016, wherein the progress achieved under NRDWP was reviewed. Senior Officers / Technical Officers of the Ministry also visit the States to observe the progress of implementation of the programme. The review meetings and visits provide information about the implementation of the Programme and enables the Ministry and State Governments to focus on the areas where progress is lacking.
