The Ministry has also been writing to the States including Bihar, to expedite the expenditure of the unspent balances available with them under the programme.

(c) if so, the details thereof? MINISTER OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI) (a) Sanitation is a State subject. Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation administers the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) and provides technical and financial support to the States/UTs to accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas.Under the NBA Programme there is provision for construction of toilets in Government schools. Ministry of Human Resources Development which administers the SarvaShikshaAbhiyan(SSA),has intimated that a maintenance grant of Rs. 5000 per annum per school for schools with upto 3 classrooms, and Rs. 10000 per annum per school to schools with more than 3 classrooms is provided for annual maintenance and repair of existing school buildings and other facilities to upkeep the infrastructure in good condition. (b) and (c) As per information provided by the Ministry of Rural Development, under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), the works to be taken up have to be of capital nature creating durable assets. Since providing full time sweeper services in the schools does not create any asset nor is it in accordance with the objectives of provisions of the MGNRGE Act, it is not possible to utilise labour under MGNREGS for providing full time sweeper services in schools.

This provides a guideline on the various IEC activities to be carried at various levels, in a phased manner. It also provides a framework for States to develop State-specific action plans for rolling out of the strategy. # For effective dissemination of IEC messages on rural sanitation, provision to engage Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), village level motivators (Swachhata Doots/Sanitation Managers), field functionaries like Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), Anganwadi Workers, School Teachers, and Bharat Nirman Volunteers have been made in the NBA Guidelines. # Audio and audio-visual spots on sanitation and hygiene related messages have been prepared and are being broadcast and telecast extensively in the country over Radio & Television. # To generate awareness, other communication methods like mobile based messages, print publicity, use of folk media, melas, street plays, wall writings, hoardings and banners, picture frames, exhibitions, school rallies and interpersonal communication etc are being used.

The percentage of population which have no access to sanitation facilities in the country including Jharkhand, as reported by Census 2011, State/UT-wise is at Annexure-2. Apart from chemical contamination, testing of rural drinking water sources is also done by the State, district and sub-divisional laboratories set up in the States and wherever such contamination is found, action is taken by the State Department dealing with rural drinking water supply by undertaking disinfection through chlorination. For setting up laboratories and testing drinking water quality, 3% of funds allocated to States could be utilized on 100% central sharing basis. Further, out of total 171 districts affected with Japanese Encephalitis/ Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE/AES), the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has identified 60 high priority districts in 5 States viz., Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal which are severely affected JE/AES. The Ministry has made a provision of 5% of NRDWP as special funds for tackling water problems, of which 25% of this provision is earmarked and released to these 5 States only to tackle JE/AES problems in drinking water sources. The interventions informed to the States for to tackle JE/AES problems and provide safe drinking water in these 5 areas include Sanitary inspection of all sources in the affected areas, Raising of hand pump platforms, Plugging all leaks and cracks in the hand pump platforms and casing pipe, Proper Solid and Liquid Waste management with clearing of soakage pits and drainage channel attached to the hand pumps, Conversion of shallow public hand pumps into India Mark-II hand pumps, Drilling of deep tubewell, energizing it with 1 hp motor and pump water into stand posts (with atleast 4 taps) constructed nearby and add bleaching powder, Disinfect all public drinking water sources and Generate awareness amongst the people to consume only safe drinking water and also put the habit of boiling water and consuming it. Drinking Water supply is a State subject. The Government of India provides financial and technical assistance to States under the NRDWP to supplement their efforts in providing safe drinking water in adequate quantity to the rural population. Up to 67% of the funds released to the States could be utilized for coverage and tackling water quality affected habitations by providing safe drinking water. States have been advised strongly to accord priority to tackle water quality affected habitations and provide safe water in a time bound manner through piped water supply from safe sources. Government of India has made a paradigm shift in the rural sanitation programme, the 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 goal is to achieve 100% access to sanitation for all rural households by 2022. Under NBA, following strategy has been adopted : # There has been a shift from focusing on individuals for the construction of individual household toilets, to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode approach, aimed at achieving holistic sanitation outcomes. # The provision of providing Incentives for construction of individual household latrine units has been widened to cover APL households, who belong to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households, in addition to all BPL households. The financial incentive for all eligible beneficiaries, for the construction of toilets, has been raised to Rs. 4600/- (Rs. 5100/- hilly and difficult areas) , from the earlier amount of Rs. 3200/-. In addition, upto Rs. 4500/- is provided under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of the toilet. Therefore, along with the beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900/-, Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. 10,500/- for Hilly and difficult areas), is now available for construction of toilet.
# Under the NBA, 15% of the total outlay of district projects has been provided for Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities, which focuses on increasing awareness of the programme and the need for safe and sustainable sanitation. # The Ministry has in the year 2012, launched a Sanitation and Hygiene Advocacy and Communication Strategy Framework (2012-2017). This provides a guideline on the various IEC activities to be carried at various levels, in a phased manner. It also provides a framework for States to develop State-specific action plans for rolling out of the strategy. # For effective dissemination of IEC messages on rural sanitation, provision to engage Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), village level motivators (Swachhata Doots/Sanitation Managers), field functionaries like Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), Anganwadi Workers, School Teachers, and Bharat Nirman Volunteers have been made in the NBA Guidelines. # Promoting a conjoint approach with National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), to ensure water availability for sanitation services in Gram Panchayats. There is also increased convergence of the NBA with programmes of associated Ministries including Health, School Education, Women and Child Development.

Under the revised Guidelines of Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, a conjoint approach to water supply and sanitation has been adopted for ensuring water facilities to the toilets constructed. ... (b) The expenditure incurred on construction of Individual households latrines under the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC)/ Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) during last 3 years and current year StateAJT wise is at Annexure-2. (c) The number and percentage of households which have toilet facilities in the country as per Census 2011, State-wise/UT-wise is at Annexure-3. (d) The number and percentage of households in the country, including Maharashtra, who practice open defecation as per Census2011, State/UT-wise are at Annexure-4. (e) Government of India administers the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), a comprehensive programme to ensure sanitation facilities in rural areas with the main objective of eradicating the practice of open defecation and ensuring clean environment. Under NBA, there is provision of incentives for Below Poverty Line households and Identified Above Poverty Line households for the construction of Individual household latrines. Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) is one of the integral components of NBA and under this component, activities like construction of 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. Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) projects under NBA can be taken up in each Gram Panchayat (GP) and total assistance is provided on the basis of total number of households in each 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.

In rural areas, households generally construct Leach pit toilets which do not require drainage connectivity. Existing drainage system in rural areas normally do not carry Black water from toilets. However, information regarding rural households and number and percentage of households without drainage connectivity for Waste water outlet as per Census 2011 State/UT-wise is at Annexure-5. (h) To improve the sanitation condition in the country, Government of India has designed a paradigm shift in Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) which is now called the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), in the Xllth 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. 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 outcome.
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 has been laid 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).
Conjoint approach with National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) to ensure water availability for sanitation in Gram Panchayats. Focussed convergence of rural sanitation with associated Ministries including Health, School Education, Women and Child Development with NBA.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI) (a ) Under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) funds are allocated to States as per approved criteria. Rural population is one of the criteria for allocation of funds to States under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP). Under NRDWP guidelines the criteria for fund allocation to the States is as follows: 40% weightage is given to total rurai population of the State, 10% weightage to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe rural population of the State, 40% weightage is given to Rural areas under Desert Development Programme, Drought Prone Areas Programme, Hill Area Development Programme and Special category Hill States in the States and 10% weightage is for Rural population managing rural drinking water supply schemes weighted by Management Devolution Index. The details of funds released and utilized during the last three years and current year at Annexure - I (b ) and (c). Yes Madam. Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitations has noticed under utilization of funds released to States. The State/UT wise details of funds which State couldn`t spend and carried forward to next year as Opening Balance is at Annexure -II. The reasons for some States not being able to spend the amounts released to them is attributed to delays in procurement processes, taking up multi-village schemes that require 2-3 years for completion, imposition of model conduct code due to declaration of elections/bye elections etc. Often funds allocated to these schemes in one year spill over to the next financial year, leading to unspent balances at the end of the year. Under NRDWP, the funds are released to the States in two installments. The second installment is released when States submit Audited Statement of Accounts (ASA) and Utilization Certificates (UC) showing utilization of at least 60% of available funds. Most of the States submit these only by November/December and therefore the second installment which is about 50% of the
total allocation, is released only by the month of December/January. This is the reason why every year the States do have large unspent balances with them at the end of the year. In order to ensure that the unspent balance at the end of the year is kept to a minimum, States are asked to prepare their Annual Action Plan in February/March for the next financial year, and fix their physical and financial objectives in consonance with their ability to implement the programme during the year and prepare detailed plan for activities proposed and expenditure that is to be incurred on these activities. The Ministry also continuously pursues the matter of fund availability with the States through review meetings with State Secretaries, video conferencing and specific State reviews. The States have also been asked to prepare and approve a shelf of projects with an estimated cost of two to three times the quantum of available funds so that there is no issue of funds remaining unutilized because of inadequate number of schemes. (d) & (e) Under NRDWP, States with high Opening unspent balances are penalized by deducting excess OB from the first installment. The 1st installment amounting to 50% of the allocation under Programme Fund is released to States/UTs, taking into consideration available excess Opening Balance with the States, without any proposal from the State/UT, if the concerned State/UT has drawn the 2nd installment in the previous year. While releasing the 1st. instalment, in consonance with the requirement of observance of discipline in fiscal transfer to States as per OM dated 13th May, 2012 of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, the opening balance in excess of 10% of the release in the previous year will be subsumed in the first instalment. Balance of First Installment is released upon utilization of 60% of the available fund.

India 35.00 42.90 22.10 LOW COST TOILETS 13th February, 2014 LSQ 3623 SHRI C. R. PATIL SMT DARSHANA VIKRAM JARDOSH SHRI PRADEEP KUMAR SINGH Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:- (a) whether the Government proposes to support reconstruction of old dilapidated and abandoned low cost toilets constructed so far under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA)/Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC); (b) if so, the details thereof and the time by which reconstruction work is likely to be started; (c) the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set in the field of sanitation and the time-frame fixed to achieve the same; (d) the manner in which these goals are likely to be achieved; (e) whether the Government proposes to support construction of bath-cum-toilet facilities for improving personal hygiene and sanitation particularly for rural women; and (f) if so, the details thereof?
MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI) (a) and (b) The Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) now revamped as Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) does not provide for support for reconstruction of old, dilapidated and abandoned low cost toilets constructed under Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC). Under the existing NBA guidelines, the maintenance expenses of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs) are to be met by the households themselves. (c) and (d) 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 2013 Update’, the use of sanitation facilities as a percentage of population was 34% in rural areas of the country. As per Census 2011 also, 32.67 % of rural households reported to have access to toilets. The National Sample Survey Organisation(NSSO) 69th round report released in 2013, has estimated that 40.6% of rural households have access to sanitation facilities. The NBA seeks to make the country open defecation free by the year 2022. The Government hopes to achieve the target with a revised strategy under NBA, which focuses on the following :- # A shift from motivating individual household toilet construction to covering whole communities in a Gram Panchayat saturation mode for holistic sanitation outcome. # Increase incentives for construction of IHHLs. # Widening of eligibilities of incentives to selected households within Above Poverty Line(APL) categories # Focus on Information Education Communication (IEC) with emphasis Inter-Personal Communication (IPC) # Conjoint approach with National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) to ensure water availability for sanitation in Gram Panchayats. Focused convergence of rural sanitation with associated Ministries including Health, School Education, Women and Child Development with NBA. (e) No Madam. (f) Does not arise. DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION CONDITION 13th February, 2014 LSQ 3649 DR. RATNA DE Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state:- (a) the extent to which the drinking water and sanitation scenario in various States including West Bengal has improved during the last three years; (b) the details of funds released and utilized under drinking water and sanitation scheme during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise; (c) whether some States/UTs have not fully utilized the funds released; (d) if so, the details and the along with reasons therefor; and (e) the reaction of the Government thereto?
MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI) (a) As per Census 2011, 84.2% of rural households had access to improved sources of drinking water, while as per the 69th NSSO report released in December 2013, it is estimated that 88.50 %of rural households now have access to improved sources of drinking water supply. State/UT-wise details including West Bengal is at Annexure I. Similarly, as per Census 2011, 32.7% of rural households had access to toilet facilities in the country, while as per 69th NSSO report, it is estimated that 40.6% rural households have access to toilets in the country. State/UT-wise details including West Bengal is at Annexure-II. (b) The State/UT wise details of fund released and utilised under National Rural Drinking Water Programme for last three years and the current year is at Annexure III. Details of central share released and utilised by the States during the last three years and current year under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA) is at Annexure-IV. (c) Yes, Madam. (d) and (e) The details of unspent balance of funds available with the States under the NRDWP and NBA as on 10.02.2014 are at Annexures V and VIrespectively. Under NRDWP, the funds are released to the States in two installments. The second installment is released when States submit Audited Statement of Accounts (ASA) and Utilization Certificates (UC) showing utilization of at least 60% of available funds. Most of the States submit these only by November/December and therefore the second installment which is about 50% of the total allocation, is released only by the month of December. This is one of the reasons why States have huge balances with them in the months of January to March every year. Further, from 2012-13, the first installment of funds to the States is also being released, taking into account the excess unspent balance of the previous years (in compliance Office Memorandum (No – 7 (1) E. Coord/2012 of Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance dated 31.05.2012 aimed at keeping a check on unspent balances) and this has also resulted in a delay in release of the full 1st installment and therefore a delay in claiming of the 2nd installment by the States. The Ministry monitors the progress of implementation of NRDWP through the financial reports provided by the States on the online Integrated Management Information System. The Ministry also monitors the proper utilization of funds by reviewing the programme periodically by conducting conferences of the State Secretaries/Engineer in Chiefs in charge of rural water supply, regional review meetings, video conferences etc. The States have also been asked to prepare and approve a shelf of projects with an estimated cost of two to three times the quantum of available funds so that there is no slippage in utilization of funds. Under NRDWP, States with high opening unspent balance are penalized by deducting excess Outstanding Balance (OB) from the second installment. In respect of Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), the reasons for States not fully utilising of funds include : # Slow progress in implementation due to changes in the guidelines for the NBA, which has brought about convergence with MGNREGS for additional assistance. # Low demand in rural areas. # Inadequate capacity building at grass root levels. To tackle the above situation various methods have been adopted to monitor the progress of the implementation of the NBA in each district. An online monitoring system has been set-up to monitor the monthly physical and financial progress of each district. Regular review meetings and video conferences are organized by the Ministry to review issues relating to implementation of the NBA and the utilization of funds and to provide advice to States on accelerating the implementation of the programme.

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI ) (a ) No, Madam (b) Does not arise in view of (a) above. (c ) Rural water supply is a State subject. This Ministry supplements the efforts of the States to provide drinking water supply including through piped drinking water supply schemes, by providing technical and financial assistance to the States under the centrally sponsored National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), in rural areas of the country. The State Governments are vested with powers to select, plan and implement drinking water supply schemes under the NRDWP to cover more habitations with water supply. Under the NRDWP , funds are allocated on the basis of approved criteria. The criteria for fund allocation to the States is as follows: 40% weightage is given to total rural population of the State, 10% weightage to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe rural population of the State, 40% weightage is given to Rural areas under Desert Development Programme, Drought Prone Areas Programme, Hill Area Development Programme and Special category Hill States in the States and 10% weightage is for
Rural population managing rural drinking water supply schemes weighted by Management Devolution Index. Under the NRDWP, the funding pattern between the Centre and the Northeastern States, 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 Under NRDWP, the funds are released to the States in two installments. The second installment is released when States submit Audited Statement of Accounts (ASA) and Utilization Certificates (UC) showing utilization of at least 60% of available funds. Most of the States submit these only by November/December and therefore the second installment which is about 50% of the total allocation, is released only by the month of December. From 2012-13, the first installment of funds to the States is also being released, taking into account the excess unspent balance of the previous years (in compliance Office Memorandum (No – 7 (1) E. Coord/2012 of Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance dated 31.05.2012 aimed at keeping a check on unspent balances).
