Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) – Har Ghar Jal in partnership with States, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household in the country. Water is a state subject and therefore the primary responsibility for planning and implementing piped water supply schemes to provide tap water to their households, lies with the respective State/UT.

At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, 3.23 Crore (17%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. Since then, tap water connections have been provided to additional 9.34 Crore rural households. Thus, as on 17.07.2023, out of 19.46 Crore rural households in the country, provision of tap water supply has been made to 12.57 Crore (64.61%) households.

As on 17.02.2023, the States of Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana, and UTs of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, and Puducherry reported to have provided tap water connection to every rural household in their State/UT. The remaining States/UTs have been advised to cover all their rural households within the mission period. The State wise status of tap connections provided to rural households, is annexed.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Prahlad Singh Patel in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
