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

- (a) The  State/UT  wise  details  of fully, partially covered  and  quality affected habitations  in  the  country  as  on  18.07.2016  in    regard  to  drinking  water  are  at Annexure-I.
- (b) This Ministry does not assign and monitors targets and achievements for drinking water  supply  schemes  and  the  same  is  done  by  States  as  per  their  funds availability.  As  providing  rural  water  supply  is  a  dynamic  process,  the  covered area may also slip back into uncovered area. The reasons for the same may vary for different States as per their terrains,  geographical  conditions  or funds absorption capacity.
- (c) to (e) the State/UT-wise details of funds released and utilised under drinking water schemes during the last three years and current year are at Annexure-II. 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. National level Conferences of State Secretaries in-charge of Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation of all States were recently held on 03.02.2016 and 22.01.2015, 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 enable the Government of India and State Governments to focus on the areas where progress is lacking.

- (f)    Yes  Madam,  allocation  for  NRDWP  since  2015-16  has  been  reduced  in comparison to allocation for the year 2014-15. Increased allocation against 14th Finance Commission from 32% to 42% to the States may be the reason for the above  reduction.  The  Ministry  of  Finance  has  been  requested  to  provide additional funds for NRDWP. States also have been advised to dovetail the funds from increased 14 th Finance Commission allocation for the purpose.
- (g)   A budgetary allocation of Rs. 5000 crores has been provided for all States/UTs under  NRDWP in  2016-17.This Ministry  has  asked  the  States  to  augment  the water  storage  capacity  in  the  country  with  measures  like  construction  of reservoirs, check dams and farm ponds. Under NRDWP, 10% of the allocation is for  Sustainability  component to  be used  to achieve drinking  water  security  for sources with major emphasis on over exploited, critical and semi-critical areas.
- (h)   The execution of rural drinking water works is done by the State Governments. However,  as  per  the  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP) guidelines, States are allowed to enter into public private partnership (PPP) with skilled  operators,  service  providers,  etc.  like  service  contracts,  management contracts,  lease  contracts  (mainly  for  existing  systems)  and  build,  operate  and transfer  contracts  (mainly  for  new  systems)  for  setting  up  of  drinking  water plants  /  projects.  All  PPP  models  should  be  drawn  with  transparent,  objective, non-discretionary  provisions  to  bring  transparency  in  service  deliverables  and clearly  lay  out  the  roles,  responsibilities,  performance  indicators,  customer accountability  with  incentives  and  disincentives  for  the  operator. States  have been allowed to go for PPP model depending upon their specific requirements
