Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (DR. RAGHUVANSH PRASAD SINGH)

(a) to (d) A statement is laid on the Table of the House.

The Statement referred to in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 449 to be answered on 26.8.2004

(a) Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission under the Department of Drinking Water Supply in the Ministry of Rural Development has been implementing the Centrally sponsored Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) successfully by extending technical and financial assistance to the States for supplementing their efforts in providing safe drinking water to all rural habitations of the country.

(b) A statement indicating the amount allocated, released and the unspent balance available with the States for the last three years is annexed.

(c) & (d) The entire amount allocated to the Department of Drinking Water Supply has been utilized. However, some of the States are not able to utilize funds fully under Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) within the same financial year because of a number of reasons like their inability to match the releases with an equal amount from State resources, inability to send complete proposals with all requisite documents for claiming the funds on time and late submission of proposals, resulting in late releases. During Periodic Review Meetings, States are requested to accord higher priority to rural water supply sector and make adequate allocation in States` budgets. Technical assistance and policy support are also rendered to the States for effective implementation of rural water supply schemes.
