So  far,  5.72  Crore  (29.63%)  rural households have been provided with tap water connections in last 29 months. Thus, as of date, out of 19.28 Crore rural households in the country, 8.95 Crore (46.41%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes. The State/ UT-wise status of tap water connection in rural households across the country is at Annex-I .
