## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a) to (c) Government of India is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal in partnership with States, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household in the country. Water is a state subject and therefore the primary responsibility for planning and implementing piped water supply schemes to provide tap water to their households, lies with the  respective  State/UT.  Government  of  India  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  by providing technical and financial assistance.

At  the  time  of  announcement  of  Jal  Jeevan  Mission  in  August  2019,  3.23  Crore  (17%) households were reported to have tap water connections. Since then, tap water connections have been provided to additional 9.40 Crore rural households. Thus, as on 24.07.2023, out of 19.46 Crore rural households in the country, provision of tap water supply has been made to 12.63 Crore (64.90%) households.

As on 27.07.2023, the States of Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Telangana and  UTs  of  Andaman  &  Nicobar  Islands,  Dadra  &  Nagar  Haveli  and  Daman  &  Diu,  and Puducherry reported to have provided tap water connection to every rural household in their State/UT.  The  remaining  States/UTs  have  been  advised  to  cover  all  their  rural  households within the mission period. The status of tap connections to rural households as reported by States/ UTs on JJM dashboard as on date, is at Annex .
