(a) & (b) Since August 2019, Government of India, in partnership with States, is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household of the country  by 2024.

At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission, out of 18.93 Crore rural households, 3.23 Crore  (17%)  households  were  reported  to  have  tap  water  connections.  So  far,  6.57  Crore (34.32%) rural  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water  connections  in  last  35  months. Thus, as of date, out of 19.15 Crore rural households in the country, around 9.81 Crore (51.22%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.

(c) Drinking Water being a State subject, it is States, who plan, design, approve and implement drinking water supply schemes. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States by providing technical and financial assistance. The year-wise timelines finalized by States/ UTs for making provision of tap water supply to every rural household is as under:
