## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a) to (d) Since August 2019, Government of India in partnership with States is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal to make provision of potable water to every rural household of the country, through functional tap water connection i.e. at a service level of 55 litre per capita per day (lpcd), of prescribed quality (BIS:10500), on regular and long-term basis.

At the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 3.23 Crore (16.8%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 02.12.2024, under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal more than 12.09 Crore additional rural households have been  provided  with  tap  water  connections.  Thus,  as  on  02.12.2024,  out  of  19.35  Crore  rural households in the country, more than 15.32 Crore (79.11%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes and the remaining 4.02 Crore households are likely to be covered by the States as per their plans. State/ UT-wise details of tap water connections as on 02.12.2024 are annexed .

As on date, 11 States/ UTs have become 'Har Ghar Jal' States/ UT i.e. 100% households are having tap water supply and the remaining States/ UTs are at various stages of achieving the objectives of the mission as per their plans. The Union Cabinet had approved the Jal Jeevan Mission for five years i.e. from 2019-20 to 2023-24. Further the extension of JJM is being considered by the government after which appropriate timeline will be worked out.
