What is the Jal Jeevan Mission? 

The Government of India launched the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in August 2019 to provide Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTC) to every rural household in the country. The scheme aimed to ensure safe and adequate drinking water supply through individual household taps, primarily benefiting rural families that previously relied on wells, hand pumps, and other traditional water sources. 

During his Independence Day speech in 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the mission and highlighted the government’s commitment to improving rural infrastructure and public health by ensuring access to clean drinking water.

Jal Jeevan Mission: 81.61% of Households Now Have Access to Tap Water

At the launch of the Jal Jeevan Mission in 2019, around 3.23 crore rural households (17%) had tap water connections. More than 12.56 crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections under the scheme. Currently, around 15.80 crore rural households (81.61%) have tap water connections. With the extension of the scheme, the government plans to provide tap water connections to all 19.36 crore rural households identified by States and Union Territories.
