MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) to (e) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.

Statement referred to in the reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 152 due for reply on 7/3/2013

(a) & (b) As reported by the States on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry, as on 4/3/2013, there are 24 State level laboratories, 728 district level laboratories and 1127 sub-district/ block level laboratories in place to monitor the quality of more than 49.93 lakh drinking water sources in rural areas. In addition, as a part of initial screening of drinking water quality and building awareness among the rural people, 3.82 lakh chemical field test kits and 9.17 crore bacteriological vials have been provided so far to the Gram Panchayats for testing water quality by trained grassroots level workers. For this purpose, training has been given to 15.16 lakh grass root level workers. However, considering the need for regular testing of all sources, the increasing number of sources, rising levels of contamination and greater awareness among rural people about water quality, the Ministry has recognized the need to strengthen the infrastructure available for monitoring the quality of drinking water being supplied to the rural areas.

(c) Yes Madam. Though drinking water supply is a State subject, Government of India supplements the efforts of the State Governments including Rajasthan, with technical and financial assistance for provision of safe drinking water supply in the rural areas of the country under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP). Under NRDWP, 3% of funds allocated to the States are earmarked for Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance (WQMS) activities on a 100% Central share basis which, inter alia, includes testing of drinking water sources at the Panchayat level by using simple field test kits, setting up of new district/sub-district water quality testing laboratories and upgrading of existing water quality testing laboratories for testing the quality of drinking water sources. As part of technical assistance, chemists from all States are imparted training in National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur. In order to standardize the level of equipment, instrumentation, chemicals, glassware, manpower, space, period and parameters of sampling, a Uniform Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Protocol has been released as a useful reference document for laboratories at all levels. During 2012-13, under the NRDWP- Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance (WQMS) component, Rs. 314.98 crore has been allocated to all States. An amount of Rs. 32.19 crore has been allocated to Rajasthan of which, Rs 7.74 crore has been released. Together with an opening balance of Rs. 10.37 crore as on 1/4/2012, the total available funds with Rajasthan during the current financial year for WQMS is Rs. 18.11 crore. State-wise availability of funds under WQMS component during 2012-13 as on 4/3/2013 is at Annex-I.

(d)& (e) Under NRDWP-WQMS component, all States have been advised to set up at least one district level water quality testing laboratory and also set up sub-divisional drinking water quality testing laboratories where required using NRDWP-WQMS funds so that testing of quality of drinking water sources is done periodically. The State-wise details of the laboratories existing as on date to monitor the quality of drinking water in rural areas is at Annex-II.

(a) The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare have identified 60 high priority districts in the country including 10 districts in West Bengal, affected by Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) cases. The list of these districts is at Annex-I.

(b) Government of India supplements the efforts of the State Governments with technical and financial assistance for provision of safe drinking water supply in the rural areas of the country under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP). 5% of the NRDWP funds at the National Level are earmarked for Water Quality and allocated to those States with habitations affected by excess chemical contamination and with high priority districts affected by Japanese Encephalitis/ Acute Encephalitis Syndrome. Out of these 5% funds, an amount of Rs. 131.25 crore has been allocated to the 60 high priority JE/AES affected districts in 5 States of which Rs. 65.62 crore has been released so far. The activities funded under this provision include replacement of shallow public hand pumps with India Mark-II hand pumps, raising hand pump platforms in shallow aquifers, providing energized tubewells with public stand posts with proper disinfection, intensive sanitary survey & sealing platforms for avoiding leakages, awareness generation and solid and liquid waste management.

(a) & (b): As reported by the State Governments on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry, as on 1/4/2012, there were 1.04 lakh rural habitations remaining to be covered with safe drinking water supply in the country. States report the quality affected habitations that have been identified by regular testing of drinking water sources through water quality testing laboratories. State/ UT-wise number of such remaining water quality affected habitations which interalia include arsenic, fluoride and other chemical contamination as on 1/4/2012 is at Annex-I.

(c): 3% of the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) funds allocated to the States are earmarked for Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance (WQMS) activities on a 100% Central share basis which, inter alia, includes testing of drinking water sources at the Panchayat level by using simple field test kits, setting up of new district/sub-district water quality testing laboratories and upgrading of existing water quality testing laboratories. The State Governments have been advised to test chemical parameters in drinking water at least once in a year and for bacteriological parameters atleast twice in a year. As reported by the States on the IMIS, 24 State level laboratories, 728 district level laboratories and 1127 sub-district / block level water quality testing laboratories have been set up. The State/UT-wise details of the laboratories set up are at Annex-II.

(d): The number of water quality affected habitations targeted and covered by provision of safe drinking water during the last three years and in the current year, State/UT-wise, is at Annex-III.

(e) & (f): Rural water supply is a State subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the States by providing them with technical and financial assistance under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) for providing safe and adequate drinking water supply facilities in rural areas of the country. A budgetary allocation of Rs.10,500crore has been made for the NRDWP in 2012-13. Up to 67 per cent of the NRDWP funds allocated to States on 50:50 Centre : State sharing basis (90:10 for North-East States and Jammu & Kashmir) can be utilized for provision of safe drinking water in rural areas of the country. Further, 5% of NRDWP funds are earmarked and allocated on 50:50 Centre : State sharing basis (90:10 for North East States and Jammu & Kashmir) to those States facing problems of chemical contamination in drinking water or with Japanese Encephalitis or Acute Encephalitis Syndrome affected high priority districts. Further up to 10 per cent of NRDWP funds allocated to States could be utilized for sustainability of drinking water sources through artificial recharge of ground water and other methods, which may also dilute the level of contamination in aquifers. Allocations made and expenditure reported by States under NRDWP during the last three years and during the current year as on 4/3/2013 is at Annex-IV. Technical assistance is provided to States through sharing information on technologies for treatment of contaminated water in Conferences, Exhibitions, meetings, Handbooks and visits of Technical officers. The Ministry has advised the States on adopting a two-pronged strategy viz., in the short-term to adopt in-situ treatment technologies for removal of specific contaminants and as a long term sustainable solution to provide safe drinking water from alternate safe surface/ groundwater sources.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION

(SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a): The details of fully covered, partially covered and quality affected rural habitations with regard to drinking water in the country, State/UT-wise is at Annexure I.

(b): The funds allocated and utilized under the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme

(ARWSP)/ National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) during11th and 12th Plan period, year and State/ UT-wise is at Annexure II.

(c )& (d): Various mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that the States properly utilize the funds released to them. The State Governments are required to prepare an Annual Action Plan to implement various components and activities of the NRDWP. They have to mark the targeted habitations and provide details of works, schemes and activities in the on-line Integrated Management Information System (IMIS). Coverage and progress data is also to be entered in the on-line IMIS. 19 formats have been developed for monitoring all aspects of implementation of the programme. By utilizing the funds provided under NRDWP, States have ensured provision of safe and adequate drinking water supply to 29,632 uncovered, 4,89,283 partially covered and 1,33,529 quality affected rural habitations during the 11th and 12th Plan period. Funds have also been utilized for Operation and Maintenance of existing drinking water supply schemes and for ensuring sustainability of drinking water sources.

(e): Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Kerala, Punjab and Haryana have reported facing drought like situation in their States.

(f): Rural water supply is a State subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the States by providing them with technical and financial assistance under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) for providing safe and adequate drinking water supply facilities in rural areas of the country. A budgetary allocation of Rs.10,500 crore has been made for the NRDWP in 2012-13. Up to 67 per cent of the NRDWP funds allocated to States on 50:50 Centre: State sharing basis (90:10 for North-East States and Jammu & Kashmir) to those States facing problems of chemical contamination in drinking water or with Japanese Encephalitis or Acute Encephalitis Syndrome affected high priority districts. Technical assistance is provided to States through sharing information on technologies for treatment of contaminated water in Conferences, Exhibitions, meetings, Handbooks and visits of Technical officers. The Ministry has advised the States on adopting a two- pronged strategy viz., in the short-term to adopt in-situ treatment technologies for removal of specific contaminants and as a long term sustainable solution to provide safe drinking water from alternate safe surface/ groundwater sources. In addition to this, Government of India provides 3 % NRDWP funds on 100 per cent central assistance basis to States for water quality monitoring and surveillance, which inter alia include taking up works relating to setting up of new or up-gradation of district/ sub-district water quality testing laboratories, providing chemicals and consumables to laboratories and providing field test kits/ refills for testing of drinking water quality to Gram Panchayats. Further up to 10 per cent of NRDWP funds allocated to States could be utilized for sustainability of drinking water sources through artificial recharge of ground water and other methods, which may also dilute the level of contamination in aquifers.

Statement referred to in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No.242 for 14.3.2013.

(a): The State/UT-wise total number of Government schools in the country and those that do not have drinking water and toilet facilities, as per information provided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development is given at Annexure.

(b)&(c): As per information provided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 provides a time frame of three years from the commencement of the Act for completion of school infrastructure. As part of the implementation of NRDWP and NBA, States have been urged to target coverage of all rural Government schools with drinking water and toilet facilities by the end of 2012-13. The Central funds under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) of Ministry of Human Resource Development, are released to the States/Union Territories for implementation of interventions approved under the Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B) of that State. Under SSA a total allocation of Rs 974 crore has been made for construction of toilets in the year 2011-12 covering all States/UTs. Under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) of Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, though funds are not separately earmarked for the purpose, States/UTs can provide drinking water supply facilities to all Government rural schools by utilising NRDWP (Coverage) funds released to them. Further under the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), formerly known as Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), though there is no separate allocation earmarked for school toilets, school sanitation is an integral component wherein Central assistance is provided to States/UTs for provision of toilet units separately for boys and girls in all Government rural schools which do not have a toilet facility. Schools opened prior to 2007 can be covered under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA). Beyond 2007, all new school buildings are sanctioned as composite buildings under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) of Ministry of Human Resource Development with facilities for girls and boys toilets and drinking water.

(d)&(e): The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No.631 of 2004 in the matter of Environment and Consumer Protection Foundation vs Delhi Administration and Others, has directed, in its order dated 3.10.2012, all States and Union Territories to ensure, inter alia, providing toilet facilities for boys and girls and drinking water facilities, if not already provided, within six months. The SSA seeks to augment school infrastructure with the objective of meeting Right to Education Act requirements for which so far 8,53,624 toilets and 2,29,840 drinking water facilities have been sanctioned across the States / Union Territories. Under NRDWP, from 2010-11 till 10.3.2013, 82,245 rural schools have been provided with drinking water supply facilities and 2,87,654 toilet units have been constructed under NBA. Moreover in compliance of the Hon.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a): The details of the funds allocated, released and utilized under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) during the last three years State/UT-wise is at Annexure I.

As regards Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA) no allocation of funds is made as the programme is demand driven. The details of funds released and utilised under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) during each of the last three years, State/UT-wise is at Annexure-II

(b)&(c): The reasons for some States not being able to utilise the amounts released to them under NRDWP include delays in planning, approval and procurement processes, taking up multi- village schemes that require 2-3 years for completion, imposition of model code of conduct due to declaration of elections/ bye elections.

Various mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that the States are able to utilize the funds released to them. The State Governments are required to prepare an Annual Action Plan by March for the coming year to implement various components and activities of the NRDWP. They have to mark the targeted habitations and provide details of works, schemes and activities in the on-line Integrated Management Information System (IMIS). Coverage and progress data is also to be entered in the on-line IMIS. Financial performance of States is also monitored through visits of Ministry officers to States, conducting review meetings at National, regional and State levels and video-conferencing during which States are urged to improve pace of utilization of funds.

As regard NBA, low physical progress in creation of sanitation facilities in some States is possibly due to less demand generation. In order to ensure optimum utilization of funds regular reviews are carried out.

(d)&(e): Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is an important component of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA). The major steps taken by the Government to improve IEC as part of NBA are as under: i. Under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), 15% of the total outlay of district projects has been earmarked for Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities. ii. IEC Guidelines have been issued in order to provide a broad framework to the States for the implementation of IEC activities to increase awareness among rural people, generation of demand for sanitation facilities and creation of clean environment. iii. Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012-2017) for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene has been launched in collaboration with UNICEF. It is designed to roll out a number of activities in a phased manner, from planning, implementation to monitoring. iv. Provision has been made to engage Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), village level motivators (Swachhata Doots/ Sanitation Managers), field functionaries like ASHA, Anganwadi Workers, School Teachers, and Bharat Nirman Volunteers for effectively disseminating IEC messages. v. Mobile message based Communication was carried out on a pilot basis as an effective tool for dissemination of awareness on Sanitation, targeting rural areas of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. vi.

Financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- from the earlier amount of Rs 3200/-.under NBA. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet .Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total unit cost of toilet is now Rs. 10000/-.

(f): Under NBA, following steps have been taken :

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

# The provision of enhanced incentive for individual household latrine units to identified APLs along-with all BPL households.

# More emphasis on Information Education Communication (IEC).with earmarked 15% of the total outlay of district projects for IEC activities. With a view to give thrust to a new approach towards IEC, the Ministry has launched a Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012-2017).

SMT KAMLA DEVI PATLE

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the details of the progress made under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the field of sanitation in the country including Chhattisgarh, State/UT-wise;

(b) the details of the States which have not achieved MDGs; and

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a)&(b): Target 7c, set under Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 7, seeks to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation (based on 1990 data). This would imply that at least 54.7% of the rural households should have access to sanitation by 2015 to meet MDG target.

According to the information presented in the WHO/UNICEF report on ‘Progress on Sanitation and Drinking Water 2012 Update’, the use of sanitation facilities as a percentage of population was 33% in rural areas of the country. As per Census 2011 also, 32.67 % of rural households reported to have access to toilets.

No MDG targets have been set for the States, but based on above criteria, the targets have been worked out & shown in Annexure-I along-with the status of achievement as per Census 2011. The states with higher positive values of gap between MDG targets & Sanitation Coverage reported by Census 2011 are the ones, that are lagging behind.

(c): Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behavior change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. Under NBA, following steps have been taken:

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

The scope of providing incentives for individual household latrine units has been widened to cover all APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households. Financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- from the earlier amount of Rs 3200/-.under NBA. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total unit cost of toilet is now Rs. 10000/-.

ALLOCATION UNDER DRINKING WATER SCHEME

2nd May 2013

LSQ 5921

SHRI C. R. PATIL

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the funding pattern between Union Government and State Governments under drinking water schemes;

(b) whether the Government of Gujarat has spent Rs. 11,285 crore during 2004-05 to 2011-12 and Central assistance provided was only 2,421 crore for the said purpose;

(d) whether the Union Government proposes to reimburse the remaining amount to meet at least 50 per cent expenditure by Government of Gujarat; and

(e) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a): The Government of India administers the Centrally Sponsored Scheme, National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), in which financial and technical assistance is provided to the States to supplement their efforts in providing safe and adequate drinking water to the rural areas. Under the NRDWP, the funding pattern between the Centre and the Northeastern States and Jammu & Kashmir is in the ratio of 90: 10, and that between the Centre and States other than Northeastern States and Jammu & Kashmir is 50: 50.

(b)& (c): As per data maintained in the Ministry including that available on the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), the amount released to the State Government of Gujarat by the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation under NRDWP and the erstwhile Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP), during 2004-05 to 2011-12 is Rs.2573.21 crore. As informed by the Government of Gujarat, the State has released Rs. 11285.19 crore during the same period. Under NRDWP, allocation of funds is made as per prescribed criteria and the States are allocated funds as per their eligibility. During the years 2004-05 to 2011-12, as against allocation of Rs.2346.61 crore to the State of Gujarat, a higher amount of Rs. 2573.21crore has been actually released to the State. Hence, the question of providing less Central assistance to Gujarat does not arise.

(d) & (e): Water is State subject. States can, therefore, incur higher expenditure than the required proportionate State share for drinking water schemes. Since the pattern of allocation of funds to states under the NRDWP is as per approved criteria, there is no provision for reimbursing the higher State expenditure incurred by the States, including Gujarat.

DEFICIENCY IN SANITATION SCHEME

2nd May 2013

LSQ 5924

DR. NILESH NARAYAN RANE

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) whether some deficiencies have been found in rural sanitation scheme;

(b) if so, the details thereof; and

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) to (c): Government of India started the Central Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) in 1986 to provide sanitation facilities in rural areas. It was simply a supply driven, highly subsidy and infrastructure oriented programme. As a result of deficiencies and low financial allocations, the CRSP had very little impact on the gargantuan problem. The experience of community -driven, awareness-generating campaign based programme in some states and the results of evaluation of CRSP, led to the formulation of Total Sanitation Campaign ( TSC) approach in 1999.The TSC was started as a demand driven, community- led programme with major IEC inputs to make sanitation a felt need of the people.

As per the Twelfth Plan Working Group recommendation, the APL-BPL distinction and the very low incentive under the TSC have played havoc with the programme. Many slip-backs in the NGP villages have been attributed to non-availability of water, clearly indicating need to synergize the drinking water and sanitation programme.

Owing to above and to accelerate the progress of sanitation in rural areas, The Government of India has revamped the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) as the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in the XIIth Five Year Plan. NBA is currently being implemented in 607 rural districts across the country. NBA envisages covering the entire community for saturated outcomes with a view to create Nirmal Gram Panchayats: Under NBA, following steps have been taken:

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

# The scope of providing incentives for individual household latrine units has been widened to cover all APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households. Financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- from the earlier amount of Rs 3200/-.under NBA. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total amount of Rs. 10000/- is now available for construction of toilets, which in the case of hilly and difficult areas is Rs. 10500/-.

# More emphasis on Information Education Communication (IEC) by earmarking 15% of the total outlay of district projects for IEC activities. With a view to give thrust to a new approach towards IEC, the Ministry has launched a Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012-2017).

Statement referred to in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 77 due for reply on 8.8.2013.

(a) As reported by the States on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry, as on 1.4.2013, out of 16,90,870 rural habitations in the country, there are 84,292 rural habitations, in which at least one drinking water source is affected by chemical contamination like excess Iron, Fluoride, Arsenic, Salinity and Nitrate. It is estimated that about 4.64 crore population in the country may be exposed to chemical contamination in drinking water.

(b) The number of fully covered, partially covered and quality affected rural habitations in the country, including in Madhya Pradesh, State/UT wise is at Annexure I.

(c) Rural water supply is a State subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the States by providing them with technical and financial assistance under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), for providing safe and adequate drinking water supply facilities in rural areas of the country. State Governments are empowered to plan, approve and implement rural water supply schemes.

A budgetary allocation of Rs.11000 crore has been provided for the NRDWP in 2013-14. Under NRDWP, priority has to be given to cover partially covered and quality affected habitations with safe drinking water. Up to 67 per cent of the NRDWP funds allocated to States on 50:50 Centre: State sharing basis (90:10 for North-East States and Jammu & Kashmir) is to be utilized by the States for the coverage of rural habitations with drinking water. Further 5% of NRDWP allocation is earmarked at the national level and allocated to those States facing problems of chemical contamination in drinking water or with Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome affected high priority districts. In addition to this, to ensure that safe drinking water is being provided, 3 % NRDWP funds on 100 per cent central assistance basis is provided to States for Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance, which inter alia includes taking up works relating to setting up and operation of new or up- gradation of district/ sub-district level water quality testing laboratories, and providing field test kits/ refills for testing of drinking water quality to Gram Panchayats. Further, up to 10 per cent of NRDWP funds allocated to States is to be utilized for promoting the sustainability of drinking water sources, through artificial recharge of ground water and other methods, which may also dilute the level of contamination in aquifers.

(d) The details of the funds released under the NRDWP, during the last three years and the current year, State/UT –wise is given at Annexure II.

(e) Yes Madam. 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.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) & (b) The Hon’ble Finance Minister in his budget speech 2008-09 made an announcement for providing safe drinking water to 1 lakh rural schools in water deficient areas at an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore. Accordingly, after taking necessary approvals, the “Jalmani programme” was launched in the year 2008-09. Ministry of Finance, Government of India has provided Rs 100 crore each during 2008-09 and 2009-10 under the Social Infrastructural Development Fund (SIDF) on 100% Central sharing pattern. The programme was aimed at providing stand alone water purification systems in rural schools to provide safe drinking water at the consumption point especially to tackle bacteriological contamination, turbidity and excess iron. Since this was only a pilot project, further funding under Jalmani programme was not provided by the Ministry of Finance from SIDF.

(c) The total funds of Rs.200 crore provided were released to the States by Government of India. As reported by the States into the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) developed by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, as on 2/8/2013, an amount of Rs 120.78 crore has been utilized under Jalmani programme.

(d) & (e) As reported by the States on the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation, as on 2.8.2013 as against a target of coverage of 1 lakh rural schools, the States have so far covered 95,937 rural schools. Since some States have reported coverage of rural schools more than the targeted schools, the number of schools yet to be covered with safe drinking water under Jalmani programme is 13,921 rural schools, as on 2/8/2013. The State-wise details of rural schools yet to be covered are given at Annexure.

REVIEW OF NBA

8th August 2013

LSQ 799

PROF. SK. SAIDUL HAQUE SHRI RANGASWAMY DHRUVANARAYANA SHRI P. KARUNAKARAN

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the strategy worked out for implementation of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) and the activities undertaken therein;

(b) whether the Government has been able to achieve the targets/ goals set under the NBA during the last three years;

(d) whether the Government has reviewed the NBA to ensure sanitation facilities particularly in rural, tribal and hilly areas of the country;

(e) if so, the details and outcome thereof;

(f) whether the generation of sewage is increasing in many States including Andhra Pradesh despite spending huge amount so far; (g) if so, the details thereof during the 11th and 12th Plan period, State/UT-wise and reasons there for; and (h) the steps taken by the Government in this regard?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The strategy adopted under NBA is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting the `community led` `people centered` strategies and community saturation & demand driven approach with emphasis on awareness creation and demand generation for sanitary facilities in houses, schools and for cleaner environment. Alternate delivery mechanisms would be adopted to meet the community needs.

The provision of incentives for individual household latrine has been widened to cover all APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households so as to attain community outcomes. Convergence with MNREGS has been adopted to facilitate the rural households with fund availability for creating their own sanitation facilities.

Availability of water in the Gram Panchayat shall be an important factor for sustaining sanitation facilities created. Rural School Sanitation remains a major component and an entry point for wider acceptance of sanitation by the rural people. Wider technology options are being provided to meet the customer preferences and location- specific needs. Intensive IEC Campaign is the corner stone of the programme involving Panchayati Raj Institutions, Co-operatives, ASHA, Anganwadi workers, Women Groups, Self Help Groups, NGOs etc. More transparent system involving social audit and active people’s participation in the implementation process of NBA has also been introduced.

Under NBA following activities are undertaken:

# Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting sustainable sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education.

# Extensive capacity building of the stake holders like Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSCs) and field functionaries for sustainable sanitation.

# Provision of Individual Household Latrine (IHHL) of both Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Identified Above Poverty Line (APL) households within a Gram Panchayat (GP). APL families not covered by the above incentives will take up construction of the household latrines on their own through motivation.

# Rural Sanitary Marts can be opened to provide materials, services and guidance needed for constructing different types of latrines and other sanitary facilities for a clean environment. and Production Centers Production Centers are to be opened and operated to produce cost effective affordable sanitary materials at the local level.

# To set up Community Sanitary Complex when there is lack of space in the village for construction of household toilets and at public places, markets, etc. where large scale congregation of people takes place and the community owns up the responsibility of their operation and maintenance.

# To cover the remaining schools not covered under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Anganwadi Centres in the rural areas with proper sanitation facilities and undertake proactive promotion of hygiene education and sanitary habits among students.

# Develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquid waste management for overall cleanliness in the rural areas.

(b) and (c) Since NBA is demand driven programme, hence no state-wise is target set. However State/UT-wise achievement made under the NBA during the last three years is at Annexure-1.

(d) and (e) Based on the recommendation of a Working Group set up by the Planning Commission, Government of India has reviewed the Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) and revamped the programme into Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan ( NBA) w.e.f 01.04.12 with the objective to accelerate the sanitation coverage in the rural areas so as to comprehensively cover the rural community through renewed strategies and saturation approach. Under NBA, 10 % of total budget is earmarked for tribal areas. Further for hilly and difficult areas, additional financial assistance are being provided as under against following components of NBA:

# Additional Rs 500 for construction of Individual Household Latrines(IHHLs)

# Additional Rs 2000 for Anganwadi toilets

# Additional Rs 3500 for school toilets

(f) to (g) Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) is one of the key components to maintain overall cleanliness in the rural areas therefore to improve the general quality of life in rural areas . Under this component, activities like compost pits, vermin composting, common and individual biogas plants, low cost drainage, soakage channels/ pits, reuse of waste water and system for collection, segregation and disposal of household garbage etc can be taken up. Construction and maintenance of sewage as such is not being taken up under NBA formerly known as TSC. During 11th and 12th plan period total of Rs 153.74 crore and Rs 76.15 crore was spent respectively on SLWM as per details at Annexure-2. h) Under NBA, during 12th plan period Government of India is implementing SLWM in project mode with focused funding. Assistance for SLWM project is available on the basis of total number of households in each Gram Panchayat(GP), subject to a maximum of Rs.7 lakh for a GP having up to 150 households, Rs.12 lakh up to 300 households, Rs.15 lakh up to 500 households and Rs.20 lakh for GPs having more than 500 households. Funding for SLWM project under NBA is provided by the Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30. Additional cost requirement can be met with convergence of MGNGREGS or from the State/GP funds.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) to (b) Yes Madam, To improve the personal hygiene, sanitation and solid as well as liquid waste management and to accelerate the progress of sanitation in rural areas, Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behaviour change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. The new strategy is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting community saturation approach. NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022.

Under NBA, the Government has taken sufficient technical and financial measures to improve the quality of rural sanitation with enhancement in funding for construction of Individual household latrine and Solid and Liquid Waste Management.

# The financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries ( BPLs and identified APLs) from Rs 3200/- to Rs. 4600/-. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- to be booked under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA for construction of the toilet is permitted and a beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900, taking the total unit cost of toilet to Rs. 10000/-.(Rs. 10500/- for Hilly and difficult areas)

# The component of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) has been prioritized through focused funding. Under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA), assistance for SLWM project is available on the basis of total number of households in each Gram Panchayat(GP), subject to a maximum of Rs.7 lakh for a GP having up to 150 households, Rs.12 lakh up to 300 households, Rs.15 lakh up to 500 households and Rs.20 lakh for GPs having more than 500 households. Funding for SLWM project under NBA is provided by the Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30. Additional cost requirement can be met with convergence of MGNGREGS or from the State/GP funds.

# Govt. has increased the allocation under NBA from Rs.2500 crore in the year 2012-13 to Rs. 4260 crore in 2013-14.

# Under NBA, technical assistance is also being provided through training to Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC) and PRI members, block and district functionaries , grass root functionaries in trades such as masonary work, brick-making, toilet pan making and plumbing etc , required for creation of sanitation facilities.

(d) At present the NBA provides support for construction of sanitary toilets only and not for bathing space.

(e) Does not arise.

(f) NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022. For this, following actions have been formulated :-

# Provision of incentives for Individual Household Latrine (IHHL) of both Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Identified Above Poverty Line (APL) households within a Gram Panchayat (GP).

# Appropriate convergence with MNREGS with unskilled man-days and skilled man-days for construction of Individual household latrine, school and anganwadi toilets, sanitary complexes and Solid and Liquid Waste Management to enhance the total financial assistance.

# Gram Panchayats where all habitations have access to water to be taken up. Priority may be given to Gram Panchayats having functional piped water supply ,

# Provision of financial assistance for creation of sanitation facilities in Government Schools and Anganwadis in Government buildings within these GPs

# Provision of financial assistance for Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) for proposed and existing Nirmal Grams

# Information Education and Communication(IEC) activities for triggering the demand for construction and use of sanitary facilities in the rural areas.

# Extensive capacity building of the stake holders like Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSCs) and field functionaries for sustainable sanitation.

# Convergence with Indira Awas Yojna(IAY), National Rural Health Mission(NRHM), Sarva Shiksa Abhiyan(SSA) and Integrated Child Development Services(ICDS).

(d) whether there is poor quality and less number of public toilets in the country in comparison to the requirement;

(e) if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor, State/UT-wise; and

(f) the steps taken by the Government to increase the number of such toilets in the country in 11th and 12th Plans?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) and (b) No Madam. Under the existing guidelines, maintenance expenses of individual household latrines should be met by the households themselves.

(c) To accelerate the sanitation coverage in rural areas, Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behaviour change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. The new strategy is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting community saturation approach. NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022.

The provision of incentive for individual household latrine units has been widened to cover all APL households who are SC/ST, small and marginal farmer, landless labourer with homestead, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households. The financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries ( BPLs and identified APLs) from Rs 3200/- to Rs. 4600/-. In addition upto Rs. 4500 to be booked under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA for construction of the toilet is permitted and a beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900, taking the total unit cost of toilet to Rs. 10000/-.(Rs. 10500/- for Hilly and difficult areas)

Conjoint approach with the scheme of National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) has been adopted to address the issue of availability of water in the Gram Panchayats for sustaining sanitation facilities created. Funds for capacity building of all stakeholders including Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs) and field level implementers have been earmarked under the revised strategy. Convergence with other State Departments like Health, Women & Child Development and Panchayati Raj is being focused upon. Provision has been made for incentivizing Accredited Social Health Activists(ASHAs) & Anganwadi workers for promoting sanitation. Self Help Groups, Women’s Groups & NGOs of repute are to be encouraged by states to participate in sanitation promotion. The component of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) has been prioritized by focussed funding.

Under 12th five year plan Government has allocated Rs 37,159 crore for rural sanitation. Further Government of India has increased the allocation under NBA from Rs.2500 crore in the year 2012-13 to Rs. 4260 crore in 2013-14.

(d), (e) and (f) Community Sanitary Complex ( CSC) is an integral component of the NBA. Ordinarily such Sanitary complexes are constructed only when there is lack of space in the village for construction of household toilets and the community owns up the responsibility of their operation and maintenance. The maintenance of such complexes is very essential for which Gram Panchayat is ultimate responsibility. Against approved objective of 33684 number of CSC, 26481 number of CSC has been achieved till 31/07/13. State/UT-wise targets and achievement in construction of Sanitary Complexes is at Annexure-1.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI )

(a) to (e) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House

Statement referred to in part (a ) to (e ) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 200 due for answer on 22.8.2013.

(a) to (e ) Yes, Madam. The deficiencies which have been noticed in the implementation of the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) in some States include the non-achievement of annual targets of coverage of rural habitations, especially quality affected habitations, and the inadequate utilisation of central funds in time resulting in high unspent balances.

The reasons for some States not fully achieving the annual targets of coverage of habitations, include high capital costs of large multi-village schemes to bring water from distant safe sources, time taken for planning, designing, sanctioning, procuring, execution and commissioning of such schemes, lowering of ground water table, drinking water sources becoming contaminated due to natural and man-made causes, slipping back of habitations to partially covered or quality affected status due to drying up

of drinking water sources, water supply systems outliving their life; systems working below rated capacities; poor operation and management of systems; increase in population and emergence of new habitations and procurement issues.

The reasons for some States being unable to spend the available funds under NRDWP fully and in time, include delays in procurement processes, taking up multi-village schemes that require 2-3 years for completion thus delaying expenditure, delays in preparatory activities, long time taken for completion of legal formalities including obtaining various clearances, delayed release of funds to implementing authorities etc.

Under the NRDWP, various mechanisms have been put in place to monitor the activities at different levels. The State Governments are required to prepare and discuss with the Ministry, an Annual Action Plan to implement various components and activities of the NRDWP. Every year, the States have to mark the habitations targeted for coverage and provide details of works, schemes and activities being taken up, on the on-line Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry. The physical and the financial progress being made by States have to be reported on a monthly basis on the IMIS. The Ministry monitors the information provided regularly, and States which are lagging behind in the implementation of the programme, both in terms of physical achievements and financial expenditure, are advised to take appropriate corrective measures. Senior Officers, Area Officers and Technical Officers of the Ministry tour the States to assess the progress in the implementation of the Programme. The Ministry also conducts meetings of the Secretaries in charge of rural water supply, regional review meetings, video-conferences, etc. through which implementation of NRDWP is monitored. Assessment of achievements is done through periodic evaluations of the programme by the Ministry and the Planning Commission.

NATIONAL RURAL DRINKING WATER PROGRAMME 22nd August 2013

LSQ 2196

SHRI PRABHUNATH SINGH SHRI SUSHIL KUMAR SINGH

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the aims and objectives of National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and the extent to which the Government has achieved those aims and objectives;

(b) the number of habitations targeted to be covered under NRDWP during Bharat Nirman, Phase-I and how many of them have been actually covered so far; (

(c)whether the Government has ascertained the drawbacks in achieving the targets and if so, the details thereof and the steps taken to address them to achieve the targets;

(d) whether the Government has formulated any programme to provide piped water supply to every household in rural areas; and

(e) if so, the details thereof?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI )

(a ) The aim and objective of National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) is to provide every rural person with adequate safe water for drinking, cooking and other basic domestic needs on a sustainable basis, with a minimum water quality standard, which should be conveniently accessible at all times and in all situations. Achieving this aim and objective is a continuous process.

(b) At the beginning of Bharat Nirman Phase I, as on 1.4.2005, it was targeted to cover 55,067 uncovered, 3,31,604 slipped back and 2,16,968 quality affected habitations with adequate safe drinking water supply. Against this, as reported by the States on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of this Ministry, as on 15.8.2013, 55,193 uncovered, 8,33,304 partially covered/slipped back and 1,52,371 quality affected habitations have been covered. This includes newly identified Uncovered, Slipped-back, Partially covered habitations and Quality affected habitations.

(c) The reasons for not fully achieving the targets of coverage of quality affected habitations include high capital costs of large multi-village schemes to bring water from distant safe sources, time taken for planning, designing, sanctioning, procuring, execution and commissioning of such schemes, lowering of ground water table; drinking water sources becoming contaminated due to natural and man-made causes; water supply systems outliving their life; systems working below rated capacities; poor operation and management of systems; increase in population and emergence of new habitations, procurement issues, etc.

To assist in addressing the above issues, the Government of India provides financial and technical assistance to States under the NRDWP, to supplement their efforts to provide adequate safe drinking water to the rural population. In 2013-14, Rs. 11000 crore has been allocated under the NRDWP. In order to achieve the targets under NRDWP, the State Governments are vested with powers to plan, approve and implement drinking water supply schemes. The State Governments, in consultation with the Ministry, prepare Annual Action Plans (AAP) each year, to implement rural water supply schemes to cover partially covered and quality affected habitations and for other activities.

To ensure sustainability of functioning of rural water supply schemes, the States have to adopt improved Operation & Maintenance (O&M) methods for their better working and to control leakages. Up to 15% of funds allocated to States under NRDWP can be utilised for O&M. To ensure the sustainability of drinking water sources, the State can utilise 10% of their allocation. To ensure supply of safe drinking water, 5% of national allocation is earmarked for allocation to States with chemical contamination affected habitations and areas reporting Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis cases (JE/AES). Further, 67% of funds allocated to States can be utilised for coverage of water quality affected habitations. To facilitate water quality testing, a separate Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance Component with 3% of NRDWP allocation has been created to strengthen water quality testing practices in States. To incentivise States to involve the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) in the planning, operation and management for drinking water supply schemes, a Management Devolution Index has been formulated to measure the extent of devolution of powers made by States to the PRIs with respect to Funds, Functions and Functionaries in regard to drinking water supply. 10% of funds under NRDWP are kept for allocation to States on the basis of their MDI scores. The Ministry has set up a robust web-based monitoring mechanism at the central level to monitor the implementation of water supply schemes under the NRDWP in the States.

(d) and (e ) In the 12th Five Year Plan period, under the NRDWP, the Ministry is giving special emphasis on piped water supply in rural habitations. States are being asked to plan for coverage of habitations with piped water supply through stand posts or household connections. In addition to the fact that this shall reduce the drudgery and time taken in the collection of water, it shall also facilitate in tackling the problem of drinking water quality in the habitations affected with water issues. In addition, to accelerate the setting up piped water supply systems in rural areas in States where the such coverage is low, the Ministry has proposed a project with World Bank support in parts of Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh which focuses on setting up piped water supply systems.

SHRI VILAS BABURAO MUTTEMWAR

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) whether the funds under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) have been under utilised in various States like Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Maharashtra, Jharkhand etc.;

(b) if so, the details thereof during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise;

(d) the steps taken/being taken by the Government to ensure that the rural population of the country is benefited fully from NBA?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) & (b) Details of fund released and expenditure incurred along with opening balances State/UT-wise is at Annexure-1. It can be seen that funds released /sanctioned under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) have been utilised, although the percentage expenditure has been less in respect of Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha as compared to other states.

(c) Regular review meetings/Video Conferences etc. are organized by the MDWS to discuss issues relating to implementation of the NBA and to improve the progress and expenditure. Also, release of 2nd installment of central share is made only after 60 % of existing resources have been utilized by the State concerned. d) Under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, following steps have been taken to provide the benefits to the people:

# Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is an extremely important component for rural sanitation programme that lays the basis for successful implementation of the programme. 15% of project outlays are earmarked for IEC activities. With a view to give thrust to a new approach towards IEC, the Ministry has launched a Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012- 17).

# The actual implementation of the programme is done by the State Government. They have been urged to step up their IEC activities to generate demand for toilets.

# Government of India has also stepped up its efforts by increased allocation and increased spending on IEC activities to bring awareness amongst the rural households about the need to build toilets.

# Government of India is reviewing the implementation of the NBA in different States on a regular basis to identify the bottlenecks and remove the same so that the programme can be implemented more speedily to provide the benefits to the people.

# The guidelines and other administrative instructions for implementation of NBA are being modified wherever required to speed up the implementation of the programme.

# Government of India has a robust on-line monitoring system for the implementation of the programme.

# In addition to the field visits by the Officers of Government of India to the extent possible, the states are also being urged to step up their own review and monitoring through State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM) at the State level and District Water and Sanitation Mission (DWSM) at the district level.

LSQ 2267

SHRI SONAWANE PRATAP NARAYANRAO SHRI SHETTI RAJU ALIAS DEVAPPA ANNA SHRI P. KUMAR

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) whether sanitation facility in rural areas of our country are still very meagre, if so, the details thereof;

(b) whether the Government proposes to rope in private players under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in sanitation sector;

(d) whether the Government proposes to set up a mini-sewerage treatment plant in each village of the country including Maharashtra;

(e) if so, the details thereof, State/UT wise and the allocation made/ proposed to be made for the purpose;

(f) whether the Government has asked the State Governments to provide top priority for sanitation in their respective States; (g) if so, the details thereof; (h) whether the Government has agreed to provide special funds to the State Governments to undertake special sanitation drives; and (i) if so, the details thereof?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) Yes Madam. As per census 2011, only 32.7% of rural households are having access to latrines.

(b) and (c) One of the biggest problems facing the sanitation sector is lack of access to sanitary toilets to a large proportion of rural households. The NBA provides assistance for building of Individual Household latrines (IHHLs) to eligible beneficiaries. The building of IHHLs is an activity which is not readily amenable to Public Private Partnership in the traditional sense of the term. However Private sector does play an important role in the sanitation sector by making available the material requirement for construction of toilets. Moreover, as per NBA Guidelines, corporate houses are encouraged to participate in the implementation of Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) as an essential part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by taking up the issues of sanitation through Information Education Communication (IEC), Human Resource Development (HRD) or through direct targeted interventions.

(d) & (e) Under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) is one of the key components to bring about improvement in the general quality of life in rural areas. Under this component, activities like compost pits, vermin composting, common and individual biogas plants, low cost drainage, soakage channels/ pits, reuse of waste water and system for collection, segregation and disposal of household garbage etc can be taken up.

Under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), assistance for SLWM project is available on the basis of total number of households in each Gram Panchayat(GP), subject to a maximum of Rs.7 lakh for a GP having up to 150 households, Rs.12 lakh up to 300 households, Rs.15 lakh up to 500 households and Rs.20 lakh for GPs having more than 500 households. Funding for SLWM project under NBA is provided by the Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30. It is upto the Gram Panchayats / State Governments including that of Maharashtra to take up SLWM projects including mini sewerage treatment plants to meet the local requirement by utilizing assistance available under NBA. Additional cost requirement can be met by convergence with MGNGREGS or from the State/GP funds.

(f) & (g) Government of India has accorded a high priority to rural sanitation. Efforts of the State Governments for promoting rural sanitation were supplemented from 1986 till 1999 by the Central Government under the centrally sponsored Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) and thereafter from 1999 under the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC). Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) was launched as demand driven, community led programme with major Information Education Communication (IEC) inputs to make sanitation a felt need of the people.

in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. The new strategy is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting community saturation approach. NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022.

Under NBA, following steps have been taken :

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

# The scope of providing incentives for individual household latrine units has been widened to cover all APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households. Financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- from the earlier amount of Rs 3200/-. under NBA. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total unit cost of toilet is now Rs. 10000/-.(Rs. 10500/- for Hilly and difficult areas)

# Funds for capacity building of all stakeholders including Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and field level implementers have been earmarked under the revised strategy.

# Convergence with other State Departments like Health, Women & Child Development and Panchayati Raj is being focused upon. Provision has been made for incentivizing Accredited Social Health Activists(ASHAs) & Anganwadi workers for promoting sanitation. Self Help Groups, Women’s Groups & NGOs of repute are to be encouraged by states to participate in sanitation promotion.

# The component of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) has been prioritized by focussed funding.

(h) and (i) During 12th five year plan, Government of India has allocated Rs 37159 crores for sanitation. Further Government has increased the allocation under NBA from Rs.2500 crore in the year 2012-13 to Rs. 4260 crore in 2013-14. The State/UT wise fund released so far along with details of unspent balances with them as on 31st July,2013 is at Annexure-1. Annexure-1

(b) if so, the details thereof during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise, year-wise?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

Under NRDWP, the Ministry focuses primarily on contamination of rural drinking water sources for 5 elements viz., arsenic, fluoride, iron, salinity and nitrate affected habitations and monitors the coverage/ achievement of these habitations with safe drinking water facility as they are more evenly distributed in the country. There is no standard definition for “Heavy metals”. In general, Heavy metals have a high atomic number, atomic weight and specific gravity and may include some of the metalloids like arsenic. The Ministry does not monitor achievements of these habitations affected with heavy metals at the Central level since they are restricted only to certain pockets in the country. However, heavy metals include arsenic and iron whose achievements are monitored at the Central level and as reported by the States, year-wise achievements of number of arsenic and iron affected habitations as reported by the States during the last 3 years and the current year (as on 16/8/2013) is at Annexure.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) to (d) A Statement is laid on the table of the House.

Statement referred to in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 265 for 29.8.2013.

(a) The details of the projects implemented to provide drinking water facilities in the country including in Assam, State/UT-wise is given at Annexure-I. Government of India presently administers Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) formerly known as Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) to accelerate the progress of sanitation in rural areas. Under NBA/TSC, projects are sanctioned taking district as a unit. Till date 607 district projects have been sanctioned and under implementation. State/UT-wise details of district projects sanctioned including Assam is at Annexure-1I.

(b) The details of the funds allocated to various States/ UTs, including Assam, for rural drinking water supply, under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme, State/UT wise is at Annexure III. Since NBA is demand driven scheme, no State/UT-wise allocation is made. However State/UT-wise central share released during last 3 years and current year is at Annexure-IV.

(c) Drinking Water supply is a State subject. The Government of India provides financial and technical assistance to States under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) supplementing their efforts to provide adequate safe drinking water to the rural population. Under the NRDWP, the State Governments are vested with the powers to plan, approve, implement and

operate drinking water supply schemes. The State Governments, in consultation with the Ministry, prepare an Annual Action Plan (AAP) each year, to implement rural water supply schemes to cover partially covered and quality affected habitations and for other activities. Drinking water supply projects prepared thereafter, as per AAP, by the States are examined and approved at the state level by the State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC). The drinking water projects prepared by the States are not submitted to the Central Government and therefore no funds are released against specific projects to the State/UTs. Under NBA, during 2012-13 and 2013-14, no new district project have been received and sanctioned by Government of India. The fund released to the States during 2012-13 and 2013-14 is at Annexure –IV.

(d) Under the NRDWP, 5% of the national allocation is earmarked for allocation to States which have rural habitations with drinking water sources affected by chemical contamination and to States which have the 60 high priority districts identified by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, with respect to incidences of Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE/AES).

TOTAL SANITATION CAMPAIGN 29th August 2013

LSQ*267

SHRI K.JAYAPRAKASH HEGDE

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the main objectives of the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) launched by the Government and the strategy worked out for the purpose;

(b) the funding pattern under TSC and the funds allocated to the States during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise;

(d) if so, the details thereof and the achievements made thereunder; and

(e) the steps taken/being taken by the Government for effective implementation of the campaign?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) to (e) A Statement is laid on the table of the House

Statement referred to in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No. *267 for 29.08.2013.

(a) Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The main objectives of the NBA are as under:

•Bring about an improvement in the general quality of life in the rural areas. •Accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas to achieve the vision of Nirmal Bharat by 2022 with all gram Panchayats in the country attaining Nirmal status. •Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting sustainable sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education. •To cover the remaining schools not covered under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Anganwadi Centres in the rural areas with proper sanitation facilities and undertake proactive promotion of hygiene education and sanitary habits among students. •Encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable sanitation. •Develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquid waste management for overall cleanliness in the rural areas.

The strategy worked out under NBA is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting the 'community led' 'people centered' strategies and community saturation & demand driven approach with emphasis on awareness creation and demand generation for sanitary facilities in houses, schools and for cleaner environment. Alternate delivery mechanisms would be adopted to meet the community needs.

(b) The funding pattern under NBA is as under :-

S.N. Component Amount Contribution Share State Beneficiary earmarked as GOI Household/Community percent of the NBA project outlay a. IEC, Start Up Up to 15% 80% 20% 0% Activity and Capacity Building b. Revolving Fund Up to 5% 80% 20% 0% c. (i) Individual Actual amount Rs.3200 Rs.1400 Rs.900 Household Latrines required for full coverage (3700 in case of Hilly and difficult areas) (ii) Community Actual amount 60% 30% 10% Sanitary Complexes required for full coverage d. Institutional Toilets Actual amount 70% 30% 0% including School and required for full Anganwadi coverage Sanitation f. Administrative Up to 4% 80% 20% 0% charges g. Solid/Liquid Waste Actual amount 70% 30% 0% Management (Capital as per SLWM Cost) project cost

within limits permitted

Since TSC/NBA is demand driven scheme no state/UT-wise allocation is made. However State/UT-wise central share released during last 3 years and current year is at Annexure-1.

(c) and (d) Program Evaluation Office(PEO) of Planning Commission has done Evaluation Study of the TSC. The main findings of the evaluation study are as under :-

1. 88% of the selected households who are having toilets feel that their “general well being” have been improved and 96% of the households in this category feel that with the availability of the toilet, women feel more secured.

After having toilets, the medical expenses 1. expenses have been reduced and more time is available for income generating activities.

2. 83% Gram Panchayats who have been awarded with NGP have said that there has been remarkable decrease in open defecation.

3. It was also found that more people in NGP villages are adopting better hygienic practices and hence less affected by the water borne diseases.

4. 13.8% households of the Gram Panchayats awarded with Nirmal Gram Puraskar have reported that some of their family members still resort to open defecation.

5. The reasons for Open Defecation (OD) are lack of awareness/old practice, non existence of community latrines and in sufficient number of latrines.

6. Maintenance of Community Sanitary Complexes appeared to be the biggest problem. The idea of using community toilets as an effective alternative for the poorest section has not really caught up in most of the states.

(e) Under NBA, following steps have been taken by the Government for effective implementation of the campaign:

Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is an extremely important component for rural sanitation programme that lays the basis for successful implementation of the programme. 15% of project outlays are earmarked for IEC activities. With a view to give thrust to a new approach towards IEC, the Ministry has launched a Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012-17).

The actual implementation of the programme is done by the State Government. They have been urged to step up their IEC activities to generate demand for toilets.

Government of India has also stepped up its efforts by increased allocation and increased spending on IEC activities to bring awareness amongst the rural households about the need to build toilets.

Government of India is reviewing the implementation of the NBA in different States on a regular basis to identify the bottlenecks and remove the same so that the programme can be implemented more speedily to provide the benefits to the people.

The guidelines and other administrative instructions for implementation of NBA are being modified wherever required to speed up the implementation of the programme.

Government of India has a robust on-line monitoring system for the implementation of the programme.

In addition to the field visits by the Officers of Government of India to the extent possible, the states are also being urged to step up their own review and monitoring through State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM) at the State level and District Water and Sanitation Mission (DWSM) at the district level.

LSQ 3024

SHRI SURENDRA SINGH NAGAR

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) whether the Government has formulated any scheme to construct toilets in the rural areas of the country;

(b) if so, the details thereof;

(c) the number of toilets constructed under the sanitation scheme during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise;

(d) whether this has been as per the target fixed in this regard;

(e) if so, the details thereof; and

(f) if not, the reasons therefor and the reaction of the Government thereto?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) and (b) Government of India has given high priority to rural sanitation. Efforts of the State Governments for promoting rural sanitation were supplemented from 1986 till 1999 by the Central Government under the centrally sponsored Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) and thereafter from 1999 under the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC). Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) was launched as demand driven, community led programme with major IEC inputs to make sanitation a felt need of the people.

To accelerate the progress of Sanitation coverage TSC was revamped as Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behavior change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. The new strategy is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting community saturation approach. NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022.

Under NBA, following steps have been taken :

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

# Funds for capacity building of all stakeholders including Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and field level implementers have been earmarked under the revised strategy.

# The component of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) has been prioritized by focussed funding.

(c) As per data available through online monitoring system, the number of toilets constructed under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) formerly known as Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT- wise is at Annexure-1.

(d) Since NBA is demand driven schemes, hence annual targets are not being fixed.

(e) and (f) Does not arise. Annexure-1 Statement referred in part (c) of the reply to Lok Sabha Un-starred Question No.3024 due for reply on 29.08.2013.

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS 29th August 2013

LSQ 3067

DR. RATNA DE

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the details of funds allocated to the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation during each of the last three years and the current year;

(b) the details of the funds utilised during the said period;

(d) the details of the schemes/ programmes launched for improving the availability of drinking water and sanitation facilities in the country during the said period?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a)& (b) The details of funds allocated to and utilized by Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA) during each of the last three years and the current year is as below .

(Rs in crore) NRDWP NBA Year Alloc Utili % Utili Alloc Utili %Utili ation sation zation ation sation zation 2010-11 9000.00 8986.74 99.85 1580.00 1580.00 100.00

(c) The reasons for some States being unable to spend the amount fully and in time under NRDWP include delays in procurement processes, taking up multi-village schemes that require 2-3 years for completion, in ordinate delays in preparatory activities and delayed release of funds to the implementing authorities.

As regards sanitation, it is a demand driven scheme and utilization depends upon demand generated from the States. It can be seen that funds allocated under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) has been fully utilised, although % expenditure is low in a few States. The State/UT wise central share released and utilization during last 3 years and current year is at Annexure-1. Government of India has stepped up its own Information Education Communication (IEC) activities and also urging the states to give thrust to IEC activities for which sufficient funds have been made available to States/UTs to create awareness and generate demand.

(d) Rural water supply is a States subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the States by providing them with technical and financial assistance under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) for providing safe and adequate drinking water supply facilities in rural areas of the country. State Governments are empowered to plan, approve and implement rural water supply schemes. A budgetary allocation of R. 11000 crore has been made for the NRDWP in the year 2013-14.

As regards to sanitation, Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in the XIIth Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behavior change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with “Nirmal Grams’ as outcomes. The new strategy is to transform rural India into ‘Nirmal Bharat’ by adopting community saturation approach. NBA goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022.

SHRI HARISCHANDRA DEORAM CHAVAN DR M.THAMBIDURAI

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:-

(a) the number of habitations/villages covered under the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) in various States of the country, State/UT-wise;

(b) whether Central assistance provided by Government under TSC is insufficient in view of the rising prices of construction materials;

(d) the measures taken by the Government to increase Central assistance under TSC;

(e) whether there are deficiencies in the rural sanitation programme of the Government;

(f) if so, the details thereof ; and (g) the steps taken by the Government in this regard?

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)

(a) Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA) earlier known as Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) is being implemented in the rural areas of the country taking district as a unit. All habitations/villages in the districts are supposed to be covered under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA). The State/UT-wise number of districts where Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) is being implemented is at Annexure-1

(b) to (c) Under Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), total assistance of Rs. 3200/-(central share of Rs 2200/- and State share of Rs. 1000/-) was earlier provided to BPL Households for construction of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs).

(d) The Government of India has revamped Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) in 12th Five Year Plan. Under NBA, the financial assistance for construction of Individual Household latrines for BPLs and Identified APLs has been enhanced w.e.f 01/04/12 for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- (Rs 3200/- from Central share and Rs 1400/- from State

share). An additional amount of Rs. 500/- is provided from Central share for Hilly and difficult areas. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total amount of money available for construction of Individual household latrine is now Rs. 10000/-. (Rs. 10500/- for Hilly and difficult areas).

(e) and (f) Government of India presently administers Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan which has been revamped after eliminating the deficiency reported in Total Sanitation Campaign. The major shortcoming observed were:

1 APL-BPL distinction 2 Poor incentivisation 3 Individual centric 4 Aim at overall scattered coverage 5 Lack of inclusive approach 6 No specific emphasis on Solid & Liquid Waste Management

(g) Under NBA, following steps have been taken:

# A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcomes.

# The scope of providing incentives for individual household latrine units has been widened to cover all APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households. Financial incentive for construction of toilets has been raised for all eligible beneficiaries to Rs. 4600/- from the earlier amount of Rs 3200/-. under NBA. In addition upto Rs. 4500/- can be spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Along-with beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, the total unit cost of toilet is now Rs. 10000/-.(Rs. 10500/- for Hilly and difficult areas)

# More emphasis on Information Education Communication (IEC).with 15% of the total outlay of district projects earmarked for IEC activities. With a view to give thrust to a new approach towards IEC, the Ministry has launched a Communication and Advocacy Strategy (2012-2017).

# Funds for capacity building of all stakeholders including Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and field level implementers have been earmarked under the revised strategy.

# The component of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) has been prioritized by focussed funding.
