## ANSWER

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

- (a) Government of India is  committed to make provision for safe  & potable tap  water supply in adequate quantity (55 lpcd), of prescribed quality and on a regular & long-term basis to all rural households in the country. Towards this end, the Government of India launched the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), to be implemented in partnership with States/ UTs, in August 2019. Drinking  water  is  a  state  subject,  and  hence,  the  responsibility  of  planning,  approval, implementation, operation, and maintenance of drinking water supply schemes, including those under JJM, lies with State/UT Governments. The Government of India supports the states by providing them with technical and financial assistance.

Significant progress has been made in the country since the launch of JJM, towards enhancing access to tap water for rural households. At the start of JJM 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  24.03.2025,  around  12.31  crore  additional  rural  households  have  been provided with tap water connections under JJM. Thus, as on 24.03.2025, out of 19.36 crore rural households in the country, more than 15.54 crore (80.25%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes. State/ UT-wise details of tap water connections, as on 24.03.2025, are annexed .

- (b) As reported by the state government of Tamil Nadu on JJM-IMIS, on 15.08.2019, only 21.76 lakh (17.37%) rural households had tap water connections. Since then, around 89.23 lakh additional  rural  households  have  been  provided  with  tap  water  connections.  Thus,  as  on 24.03.2025, out of 125.28 lakh rural households in state, the provision of tap water supply is available to approximately 110.99 lakh (88.60%) rural households.
