## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) : To meet the rising aspirations of people living in villages to have piped water supply in their  homes,  since  August  2019,  Government  of  India  is  implementing  Jal  Jeevan  Mission,  in partnership  with  States  after  subsuming  erstwhile  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme (NRDWP) to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household.

At the start of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, only 3.23 Crore (16.7%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 03.02.2025, under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal around 12.21 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 03.02.2025, out of 19.36 Crore rural households in the country, more than 15.44 Crore (79.69%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes. State/ UT-wise details of tap water connections as on 03.02.2025 are annexed .
