Hyderabad, March 30

The Union Ministry of Rural Development has granted Rs 63.93 crore to Andhra Pradesh under the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Mission of the Centrally-sponsored Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) for the year 2007-08.

The grant was made towards restoration of cuts imposed while releasing the second instalment of funds against the original allocation of Rs 281.78 crore under the programme, according to a release. Up to 15 per cent of funds released under this sanction may be utilised for operation and maintenance, while up to 5 per cent would be spent for taking sustainability measures.

The release of funds was being made for execution/completion of schemes to provide water facilities to rural habitations and schools.

Priorities set in ARWSP guidelines and through other instructions, issued from time to time, had to be followed for coverage of rural habitations and schools, the release added.
