## ANSWER

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

- (a)  Yes Madam.  The Strategic Plan prepared by the Ministry for the rural drinking water  sector  for  the  period  2011-2022,  stresses  on  extending  the  piped  water supply to more households in the rural areas. The interim goal till 2017 is to cover 50% of all rural households with piped water supply. By 2022, the goal is to cover 90% rural households with piped water supply.
- (b) As the implementing agencies for undertaking rural drinking water supply schemes are  the  State  Governments,  the  Ministry  does  not  seek  external  financing  from external  financing  institutions  including  Asian  Development  Bank  and  World Bank  directly.  However  the  project  proposals  submitted  by  State  Government seeking  external  assistance  from  such  institutions  are  examined  in  this  Ministry and  recommended  for  assistance  to  Department  of  Economic  Affairs  (DEA), Ministry of Finance which in turn have the authority to pose such project proposal for external assistance.
- (c) The details and the follow up action of project proposal received in this Ministry are at Annexure.
