## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b) : Significant progress has been made in the country since the launch of JJM, towards enhancing access to tap water to rural households. At the start of the mission in August 2019, only 3.23 crore rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 10.02.2025, around 12.22 crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 10.02.2025, out of 19.37 crore rural households in the country, more than 15.45 crore (79.79%) rural households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes.
