Swarajya's video: Jal Jeevan Mission Achieves Milestone Of Providing Clean Tap Water To Nine Crore Rural Homes

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 3.23 crore (17 per cent) out of 19.27 crore households in India had tap water connections. Despite the pandemic disruption, the scheme has made significant progress with 100 districts, 1,138 blocks, 66,328 gram panchayats, and 1,36,803 villages becoming ‘Har Ghar Jal’. In Goa, Haryana, Telangana, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Puducherry, Dadar & Nagar Haveli, and Daman & Diu, every rural household has a tap water supply. Many more states like Punjab (99 per cent), Himachal Pradesh (92.5 per cent), Gujarat (92 per cent), and Bihar (90 per cent) are on the verge of reaching ‘Har Ghar Jal’ in 2022. * Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube.
