## ANSWER

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

(a) to (b) 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.

At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission in August 2019, 3.23 Crore (17%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. Since then, tap water connections have been provided to additional 9.34 Crore rural households. Thus, as on 17.07.2023, out of 19.46 Crore rural households in the country, provision of tap water supply has been made to 12.57 Crore (64.61%) households.

As  on  17.02.2023,  the  States  of  Goa,  Gujarat,  Haryana,  Punjab,  Himachal  Pradesh  and 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 State wise status of tap connections provided to rural households, is annexed .
