## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c) Since August 2019, Government of India in partnership with States is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal to make provision of potable water to every rural household of the  country,  including  those  in  water-stressed  districts  like  Banaskantha  and  Kutch,  through functional  tap  water  connection  i.e.  at  a  service  level  of  55  litre  per  capita  per  day  (lpcd),  of prescribed quality (BIS:10500), on regular and long-term basis.

At the start the Mission, only 3.23 Crore (16.7%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 28.07.2025, under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) Har Ghar Jal more than 12.44 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 28.07.2025, out of 19.36 Crore rural households in the country, more than 15.67 Crore (80.96%) households are reported to have tap water supply in their homes. State/ UTwise details are annexed .

The district & village-wise status of tap water connection in rural areas, including those in waterstressed districts like Banaskantha and Kutch, is in public domain and available on JJM dashboard at:
