Lok Sabha

As per Swajaldhara Guidelines, the share of financial cost to be borne by the public (community contribution) towards capital cost of Swajaldhara schemes could be in the form of cash/kind/labour/land or combination of these, with at least 50% of the community contribution being in cash. In the case of Scheduled Tribal Areas, the proportion of cash contribution has now been reduced to 25% of the stipulated community contribution.

This information was given by Shri A. Narendra, Minister of State for Rural Development in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
