## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION

## (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

- (a) Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), there is a provision for providing an incentive of Rs. 12,000 for the construction of Individual household latrine (IHHL) to all Below poverty Line (BPL) households and to identified Above Poverty Line (APL) households (all SCs /STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homestead, physically handicapped and womenheaded households).

Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban), Central government incentive for construction of toilets is Rs. 4000 per household toilets for each identified beneficiary households.

(b)  Yes.  The  incentive  to  eligible  beneficiaries  for  construction  of  toilet  has  been  recently increased from Rs. 10000 to Rs. 12000 with effect from 2 nd October, 2014 with the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G). This programme emphasizes on behavior change and is  not  a  supply-driven  construction  led  programme.  Therefore,  Rs.  12,000  per  toilet  is  an incentive amount and not a reimbursement of the cost of the toilet, which may be lower or higher than this incentive amount, depending upon several factors.

(c) Based on the data of coverage given by the States on the IMIS of the SBM-G, State/UT-wise, number and percentage of rural households defecating in open as on 30-11-2015 is at Annexure1.

State/UT-wise,  number  and  percentage  of  urban  households  defecating  in  open  as  per  Census 2011 is at Annexure-2.

(d) State/UT-wise, Central share released during the last three years and the current year under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (1.4.2012 to 1.10.2014) / SBM(G) (2.10.2014 onwards) is at Annexure3.

State/UT-wise,  Central  share  released  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year  under SBM(Urban) is at Annexure-4.

(e) The capturing of photographs has been included in the IMIS for proper accounting. The GoI assists the States in respect of any practical difficulties faced by the States in this regard. Under SBM-G, the States have been given flexibility to adopt appropriate procedures to ensure desirable  outcomes.  The  GoI  has  also  written  to  the  States  to  simplify  various  administrative processes and financing mechanism for providing incentives to the people under the scheme.
