## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

- (a) to  (c)  Under  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP),  the Government provides financial and technical assistance to States to supplement their efforts to provide adequate safe drinking water to the rural population on sustainable basis. The States have been delegated the powers to select, approve and implement the drinking water supply projects. States have State  Level  Scheme  Sanctioning  Committee  (SLSSC)  which  approves  the rural drinking water supply projects to be taken up in the State. Matter being a State subject , it is with the States only to expedite the progress of projects/ schemes  As  per  the  information  entered  by  the  States  in  the  Integrated Management  Information  System  (IMIS)  of  the  Ministry  as  on  29.04.2016, there  are  38,628  ongoing  drinking  water  projects  in  different  States  of  the Country as may be seen in Annexure.

Generally,  drinking  water  projects  like  Hand  Pump  /  Bore  well  are completed    within  a  year  and  mega  multi  village  water  schemes  take  time between  3  to  5  years.  States  are  advised  to  complete  these  projects  in  time during review meetings / annual action plan meetings / video conferences by the Ministry.
