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

## (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

- (a) Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation regularly reviews the performance of States/UTs through review meetings, field visits and video conferencing. Against the expected outcome of 50 lakh for individual latrines for the year 2014-15, 58,54,987 latrines were constructed, which is an achievement of 117% of the target. During 2015-16, 101.41 lakh toilets have already been

constructed  as  on 07.03.2016. Since  the  launch  of  Swachh  Bharat  Mission(Gramin)  on  2 nd October, 2014, 150.90 lakh toilets have already been constructed as on 07.03.2016.

(b) The total fund requirement under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is estimated to be Rs. 1,34,386 crore, out of which Central share is Rs. 1,00,447 crore.

(c) Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), an incentive of Rs. 12000 is available for individual toilets.  Under  SBM(G) guidelines, also enabling provision of low cost financing to  Individual households through agencies like NABARD and other financial institutions. States and Districts may examine possibilities to access credit at the local level to further the financing of sanitation activities  which  may  be  taken  up  either  independently  or  in  convergence  with  Swachh  Bharat Mission  activities.  Such  financing  can  be  inter-alia  through  Banks,  recognized  financial institutions or through livelihood  programmes.  Reserve Bank  of India has also issued instructions regarding inclusion of sanitation in priority sector lending.

(d)  Under  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Gramin)  {SBM(G)},  the  programmatic  projects  are sanctioned  district-wise.  Currently,  643  district  sanitation  projects  have  been  sanctioned.  The State/UT wise details is at Annexure 1 .

(e) Since Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is demand driven programme, hence State/UT-wise targets are not fixed. State/UT-wise, number of Individual household latrines constructed from 2.10.2014 to 7.3.2016 as per the data uploaded by the States on the Online Monitoring System maintained by Ministry is at Annexure-2.

(f) The SBM(G) focusses on change of mindset. Community led approach has been mentioned as the  preferred  approach  under  SBM(G).  There  is  increased  focus  on  behavior  change  and engagement of community for sustainable results. Capacity building of key stakeholders such as Collectors/CEO, Zilla Panchayats, Chairman, Zilla Panchayat is being carried out with a focus on the issues of change of mindset.  The monitoring has been strengthened to capture ODF status that includes usage of toilets.

(g) Ministry is taking assistance of  various partner agencies like UNICEF, World Bank etc. The States  also  engage  various  non-governmental  agencies  for  SBM(G),  especially  for  software activities.
