PROF. SOUGATA RAY: Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state: (a) the details of infant deaths due to malnourishment in the tribal regions of the country during the last five years, State-wise; (b) whether the Bombay High Court criticized the Governments for their extremely casual approach in addressing malnutrition among infants in the tribal regions of the country; and (c) if so, the details thereof and the steps taken to ensure the minimum standard of living of the tribal in the country? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI DURGA DAS UIKEY): (a) to (c): As per information received from Ministry of Women and Child Development, it is stated that under the 15th Finance Commission, various components like Anganwadi services, Poshan Abhiyaan and Scheme for Adolescent girls (of 14-18 years in Aspirational Districts and North-Eastern region) have been subsumed under the umbrella Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 (Mission Poshan 2.0) to address the challenge of malnutrition. 04.12.2025 902 It is a Centrally Sponsored mission, where the responsibility for implementation of various activities lies with the States and UTs. This mission is a universal self- selecting umbrella scheme where there are no entry barriers for any beneficiary to register and receive services. This mission is being implemented across the country including in all the tribal areas. Under Mission Poshan 2.0 a new strategy has been made for reduction in malnutrition and for improved health, wellness and immunity through activities like community engagement, outreach, behavioural change, and advocacy. It focuses on Maternal Nutrition, Infant and Young Child Feeding Norms, treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM)/ Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and wellness through Ayush practices to reduce prevalence of wasting, stunting, and being underweight. Under this mission, Supplementary Nutrition is provided to Children (6 months to 6 years), Pregnant Women, Lactating Mothers and Adolescent Girls to beat the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition by adopting a life cycle approach. Supplementary nutrition is provided in accordance with the nutrition norms contained in Schedule-Il of the NFSA. These norms have been revised in January 2023. The old norms were largely calorie-specific; however, the revised norms are more comprehensive and balanced in terms of both quantity and quality of supplementary nutrition based on the principles of diet diversity that provides for quality protein, healthy fats and micronutrients. Extra Supplementary Nutrition is provided to Severely Acutely Malnourished (SAM) children as per National Food Security Act (NFSA). 04.12.2025 903 Fortified rice is being supplied to AWCs to meet the requirement of micro- nutrients and to control anemia among women and children. Greater emphasis is being laid on the use of millets at least once a week for preparation of Hot Cooked Meal and Take-Home ration at Anganwadi centers. Ministries of Women & Child Development and Health & Family Welfare have jointly released the protocol for Community Management of Malnutrition (CMAM) to prevent and treat severely acute malnutrition in children and for reducing associated morbidity and mortality. Under this Mission, one of the major activities undertaken is Community Mobilization and Awareness Advocacy to educate people on nutritional aspects as adoption of good nutrition habit requires sustained efforts for behavioural change. State and UTS are conducting and reporting regular sensitization activities under Jan Andolans during Poshan Maahs and Poshan Pakhwadas celebrated in the months of September and March-April respectively. Community Based Events (CBEs) have served as a significant strategy in changing nutritional practices and all Anganwadi workers are required to conduct two Community Based Events every month. Under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, as on date, 2 lakh Anganwadi Centres have been approved to be upgraded as Saksham Anganwadis for improved nutrition delivery and for imparting early childhood care and education. Saksham Anganwadis are provided with better infrastructure than the conventional Anganwadi Centres which includes internet/Wi-Fi connectivity, LED screens, water purifier/installation of RO 04.12.2025 904 Machine and smart learning equipment. The Government has also taken a policy decision to upgrade all Mini AWCs to a full-fledged Anganwadi Centres with one worker and one helper each to help in carrying out various responsibilities under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 including responsibilities related to Early Childhood Care & Education. Sanction for upgradation of 1,11,363 Mini AWCs to main AWCs has been issued as on 31.10.2025. Various rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare since 1992-93 have shown improvement in malnutrition indicators in children across India. Details of these indicators for children since NFHS-I to NFHS-5 are given below: NFHS Survey Stunting Underweight Wasting NFHS-I (1992-93) 52 53.4 17.5 NFHS-2 (1998-99) 45.5 47 15.5 NFHS-3 (2005-06) 48.0 42.5 19.8 NFHS-4 (2015-16) 38.4 35.8 21.0 NFHS-5 (2019-21) 35.5 32.1 19.3 Poshan Tracker Data of children measured in Anganwadis (Oct 2025)* 33 14 5 * Under 4 years Under 3 years * Under 5 years The above table about NFHS-I to NFHS-5 gives a representative picture 04.12.2025 905 of malnutrition indicators among all children of 0-3 years, 0-4 years and 0-5 years age at the relevant time. The Poshan Tracker data gives malnutrition details only about children 0-5 years who are enrolled in the Anganwadis and are measured for height and weight. The total projected population of all children up to 5 years in India for the year 2021 is 13.75 crores approximately (source: Population Projections for India and States 2011-2036, National Commission on Population, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare). However, only 6.64 crores children up to 5 years were enrolled in Anganwadis and registered on Poshan Tracker of the Ministry of Women & Child Development as per the Oct 2025 data. 6.44 crores of these children were measured on growth parameters of height and weight. 33% of them have been found to be stunted, 14% have been found to be underweight and 5% wasted. The analysis of the above NFHS data and the Poshan Tracker data shows improvement in malnutrition indicators in children across India. The State/UT wise data on Stunting, wasting and underweight can be accessed from the link: https://www.poshantracker.in/statistics.

DR. KAKOLI GHOSH DASTIDAR: Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state: (a) whether it is a fact that in the Ganga basin approximately 12,000 million litres per day of sewage is generated, for which presently there is a treatment capacity of only around 4,000 million litres per day; 04.12.2025 911 (b) if so, the reasons therefor; (c) the details of the most polluted sections of the Ganga river; and (d) the steps taken/being taken to make Ganga pollution-free and the proposed timeline to achieve the same? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY): (a) and (b): As per the available information, total sewage generated in the 5 Ganga States (main stem) is about 10,160 MLD against which the available STP capacity of 7820 MLD and to bridge the gap, the projects of 1,996 MLD are at various stages of completion. The major reasons for delays in the initiation as well as completion of the project are following: 1. Identification of suitable land for the establishment of new Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) 2. The issuance of statutory clearances such as right of way for sewage related networks, obtaining permissions for road cutting, No Objection Certificates (NoCs) from competent authorities like forest and revenue departments. To address and overcome these challenges, the Nation Mission for Clean Ganga has been actively involved in closely monitoring the status of the projects including preparation of fresh DPRs. NMCG regularly conducts comprehensive review meetings under the chairmanship of the competent authority and through the Central Monitoring Committee (CMC) to evaluate the progress, identify 04.12.2025 912 roadblocks and ensure timely resolutions. (c): Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), carries out manual water quality monitoring of the river Ganga at 112 locations across five Ganga main-stem States- Uttarakhand-19; Uttar Pradesh-41; Bihar-33; Jharkhand-04; and West Bengal-15. As per CPCB report on Polluted River Stretch (PRS) 2025 following information about Ganga main stem pollution is available: Ganga Main Stem – State-wise Comparison (2018 vs 2025) State 2018 Polluted Stretch Priority (2018) 2025 Polluted Stretch Priority (2025) Trend / Observation Uttarakhand Haridwar → Sultanpur IV No PRS — Improved and PRS stretch removed Uttar Pradesh Kannauj → Varanasi IV Bijnor → Tarighat IV / V Partially improved Bihar Buxar to Bhagalpur V Bhagalpur D/S → Khalgaon D/S V Marginal pollution remains Jharkhand No PRS — No PRS — — West Triveni → III Baharampore V improved 04.12.2025 913 Bengal Diamond Harbour → Diamond Harbour Based on the water quality data (median values) of the river Ganga for the year 2025 (January to August), the following observations are made. i. pH & Dissolved Oxygen (DO) are the most critical parameters of river health. The pH & DO of River Ganga meet the required norms for bathing criteria at all the locations of River Ganga. ii. Water quality of river Ganga is conforming with the bathing criteria w.r.t. Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in the entire stretch of river Ganga in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Bihar & West Bengal, except the following locations/stretches:  Farrukhabad to Purana Rajapur, Kanpur.  Dalmau, Raibareilly.  D/s Mirzapur to Tarighat, Ghazipur (except two locations namely U/s Varanasi, After confluence Gomti & U/s Ghazipur) in Uttar Pradesh. As per the biomonitoring conducted during 2024-25 at 50 locations along river Ganga and its tributaries and 26 locations along River Yamuna and its tributaries, the biological water quality (BWQ) predominantly ranged from ‘Good’ to ‘Moderate’. The presence of diverse benthic macro-invertebrate species indicates the ecological potential of the rivers to sustain aquatic life. The population of dolphins in the river Ganga has shown a marked increase over the past decade. From an estimated baseline of 2500 to 3000 04.12.2025 914 individuals in 2009, the population rose to approximately 3500 in 2015 and further to around 6327 individuals as per the nationwide survey conducted during 2021-2023. This represents more than a twofold increase since 2009. In the Ganga basin the 2021-2023 assessment across 17 tributaries confirmed dolphin presence in multiple rivers where they were previously unrecorded, such as the Rupnarayan, Girwa, Kauriyala, Baba, Rapti, Bagmati, Mahananda, Ken, Betwa, and Sind. (d): The steps taken by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) for improving the water quality along the river Ganga and its tributaries are as under: 1. A total of 216 number of sewerage infrastructure projects (STPs) costing ₹ 34,809 crores have been taken up for remediation of polluted river areas with treatment capacity of 6,561 Million Liters per Day (MLD). 138 STPs with a capacity of 3,806 MLD have been completed and made operational; 2. For industrial pollution abatement, 3 nos. of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) have been sanctioned, i.e., Jajmau CETP (20 MLD), Banther CETP (4.5 MLD) and Mathura CETP (6.25 MLD). Two projects, Mathura CETP (6.25 MLD) and Jajmau CETP (20 MLD), have been completed; 3. Annual inspection of Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs): Inspection of GPIs started in 2017. In 2025, 3,726 Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs) were inventoried in the 8th round of inspection. So far, 3,023 GPIs out of 3,726 GPIs have been inspected through TPA (8th round). Among these, 204 were found self-closed and 1,347 were operational. Among 1,347 operational GPIs, 966 were found to comply and 381 were found non-compliant. Among 381 non- 04.12.2025 915 complying GPIs, SCN was issued to 379 GPIs and closure direction was issued to 2 GPIs. 4. At NMCG, an online dashboard “PRAYAG” has been operationalized for continuous monitoring of river water quality; the performance of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) etc. on the Ganga and Yamuna River; 5. NMCG successfully implemented the minimum e-flow norms notified in October 2018, ensuring continuous environmental flow in the river Ganga. Regular compliance is being effectively monitored by the Central Water Commission (CWC). 6. Biodiversity Conservation: Seven Biodiversity Parks in seven districts (Mirzapur, Bulandshahar, Hapur, Budaun, Ayodhya, Bijnore and Pratapgarh) of Uttar Pradesh and 5 priority wetlands in Uttar Pradesh (3), Bihar (1) and Jharkhand (1) have been sanctioned; 7. NMCG, through the State Forest Department, has implemented a forestry intervention project along the main stem of river Ganga. 33,024 hectares area have been afforested with an expenditure of about ₹ 414 crores; 8.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RAJ 04.12.2025 920 BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY): (a) and (b): As per the Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) 2025 report on ‘Polluted River Stretches for Restoration of Water Quality', two polluted river stretches have been identified in Maharashtra, one in Assam and four in Gujarat, where the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels exceed 30 mg/l. CPCB identifies polluted river stretches in the rivers across the country in association with State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) under National Water Quality Monitoring Programme. Implementation of various pollution abatement programmes, including National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) scheme, has led to a reduction in the number of Polluted River Stretches (PRS) from 351 in 2018 to 296 in 2025. It has been observed that CPRS have been decreased from 45 (2018) to 37 (2025). Further, 149 PRSs have been delisted and improvement in the water quality of 71 polluted river stretches has been observed as compared to the CPCB's report of 2018. (c): The Government, through the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) and in coordination with the concerned State Governments, implements a series of preventive and mitigative measures to safeguard the water quality of river Ganga during large religious gatherings such as the Kumbh Mela, Ardh Kumbh and Magh Mela. These measures include providing partial financial assistance, augmentation of sewage treatment infrastructure, provision of adequate temporary sanitation facilities, establishment of solid waste management 04.12.2025 921 systems, regulation of effluent discharges from Grossly Polluting Industries (GPIs) and organising continuous water quality monitoring. Awareness campaigns to sensitize pilgrims and deployment of enforcement teams to check polluting activities at Prayagraj. Besides, Prayagraj Mela Authority prepared a comprehensive Sanitation Plan for Maha Kumbh 2025 that included Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs) to ensure accountability and performance, Post-Mela sanitation measures and laying of temporary drainage lines. In addition, based on the post event learnings, corrective actions and planning improvements are implemented for future events including enhanced reuse strategies, improved disinfection protocols and structured redeployment of sanitation infrastructure. Further, the CPCB carried out water quality monitoring at five stations (twice a week) from 12th January 2025 to 20th February 2025 during Maha Kumbh 2025 at Shringverpur Ghat, Lord Curzon Bridge, Nagvasuki Mandir, Sangam and Deeha Ghat, covering auspicious bathing (Amrit Snan) days.

SHRI VE. VAITHILINGAM: Will the Minister of HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS be pleased to state: (a) whether the Government has formulated or proposes to formulate specific measures to encourage investment in real estate through non-loan routes and promote liquidity, particularly emphasizing the role of high net worth individuals and institutional investors in the sector to stabilize the market and reduce financial distress among salaried middle-class homebuyers across the country; (b) if so, the details thereof along with the details of incentives, regulatory support or alternative financial instruments promoted by the Government to broaden real estate investment options and improve overall market transparency; and (c) if not, the reasons therefor? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU): (a) to (c): As per the information received from Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, a number of initiatives have been taken to promote investments in the real estate sector. In particular, SEBI’s regulatory framework for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), including the Small and Medium REIT (SM REIT) framework, has expanded access to real estate by enabling regulated, listed pooled investment vehicles. Further, SEBI has reclassified REITs as “equity-related instruments” for mutual fund and Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) investment purposes (effective 1 January 2026), which is expected to facilitate wider institutional 04.12.2025 937 participation and improved market depth. These measures help channel long-term, diversified capital into income- generating real estate assets, while strengthening transparency, governance and disclosure standards through a regulated, exchange-traded structure. They also provide investors with liquidity and portfolio diversification compared to traditional direct ownership of property. एसबीएम-जी के तहत िहÖसा जारी करने म¤ देरी 886. ®ीमती मंजू शमाªः ³या जल शिĉ मंýी यह बताने कì कृपा कर¤गे िकः (क) ³या सरकार का Öव¸छ भारत िमशन-úामीण (एसबीएम-जी) के अंतगªत राºयŌ के िहÖसे को जारी करने म¤ होने वाली देरी कì समÖया के समाधान के िलए एक ÿभावी िव°ीय ÿबंधन तंý Öथािपत करने का िवचार है; (ख) यिद हाँ, तो तÂसंबंधी Êयौरा ³या है; और (ग) यिद नहé, तो इसके ³या कारण ह§? जल शिĉ मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी; तथा रेल मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी (®ी वी. सोमÆना): (क) से (ग): Öव¸छ भारत िमशन-úामीण [एसबीएम (जी)] चरण-II के तहत राºयŌ को पीएफएमएस के तहत एसएनए-Öपशª मॉड्यूल के माÅयम से िनिधयां जारी कì जा रही ह§, िजसे 2023 म¤ Óयय िवभाग (डीओई), िव° मंýालय (एमओएफ) Ĭारा शुł िकया गया था। डीओई Ĭारा जारी मॉड्यूल के िदशािनद¥शŌ म¤ एसएनए-Öपशª के संबंध म¤ भारत सरकार के मंýालयŌ/िवभागŌ और राºय सरकारŌ सिहत िविभÆन िहतधारकŌ को उÂतरदाियÂव सŏपा गया है तािक उिचत िनगरानी और राºय अंश का जारी करना भी सुिनिIJत िकया जा सके। पेयजल एवं Öव¸छता िवभाग, जल शिĉ मंýालय, एसबीएम (जी) चरण II के तहत िनिधयां 04.12.2025 938 जारी करने और िनगरानी के िलए पीएफएमएस के तहत एसएनए Öपशª मॉड्यूल के िलए Óयय िवभाग (डीओई) Ĭारा जारी इन िदशािनद¥शŌ का पालन करता है। सीईएफपीपीसी योजना 887. ®ी हरेÆþ िसंह मिलक: ³या खाī ÿसंÖकरण उīोग मंýी यह बताने कì कृपा कर¤गे िक: (क) िवगत पांच वषŎ के दौरान मुजÉफरनगर सिहत पिIJमी उÂतर ÿदेश ±ेý म¤ खाī ÿसंÖकरण एवं पåरर±ण ±मता सृजन/िवÖतार (सीईएफपीपीसी) योजना के अंतगªत Öवीकृत खाī ÿसंÖकरण इकाइयŌ कì सं´या िकतनी है और उनकì वतªमान तथा अīतन िÖथित ³या है और यिद नहé, तो इसके ³या कारण ह§; और (ख) ³या गÆना आधाåरत उÂपादŌ के ÿसंÖकरण एवं पåरर±ण हेतु सीईएफपीपीसी योजना के अंतªगत कोई ÿÖताव िकया गया है तथा यिद हां, तो तÂसंबंधी Êयौरा ³या है और यिद नहé, तो इसके ³या कारण ह§? खाī ÿसंÖकरण उīोग मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी; तथा रेल मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी (®ी रवनीत िसंह): (क): िपछले पांच वषŎ के दौरान, मुजÉफरनगर समेत पिIJमी उ°र ÿदेश ±ेý म¤ खाī ÿसंÖकरण एवं पåरर±ण ±मता सृजन/िवÖतार योजना (सीईएफपीपीसी) के अंतगªत कुल तीन खाī ÿसंÖकरण इकाइयŌ को अनुमोिदत िकया गया है। उनकì वतªमान और अīितत िÖथित के अनुसार तीनŌ इकाइयŌ को योजना के अंतगªत अनुमोदन िमल गया है। तीनŌ पåरयोजनाओं का िववरण इस ÿकार ह§: ø.सं. इकाई का नाम िज़ला अनुमोदन कì ितिथ ±ेý 1. मेससª वाडीलाल इंडÖůीज िलिमटेड बरेली 05/01/2023 उपभोĉा उÂपाद 04.12.2025 939 2. मेससª हÐदीराम Öनै³स ÿाइवेट िलिमटेड नोएडा 05/01/2023 उपभोĉा उÂपाद 3. मेससª िशवम नेचुरÐस ऑयÐस ÿाइवेट िलिमटेड हापुड़ 24/01/2023 तेल िमिलंग (ख): गÆना आधाåरत उÂपादŌ के ÿसंÖकरण एवं पåरर±ण हेतु खाī ÿसंÖकरण एवं पåरर±ण ±मता सृजन/िवÖतार (सीईएफपीपीसी) योजना के अंतगªत पाýता मानदंडŌ को पूरा करने वाला कोई ÿÖताव ÿाĮ नहé हòआ है। TECHNICAL GLITCHES IN FLIGHTS 888.
