Since August 2019, Government of India in partnership with States, is implementing centrally sponsored scheme Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) - Har Ghar Jal to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household in all villages across the country.
At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission, 3.23 Crore (17%) rural households were reported to have tap water connections. So far, as reported by States/ UTs as on 01.12.2025, around 12.52 Crore additional rural households have been provided with tap water connections. Thus, as on 01.12.2025, out of 19.36 Crore rural households, more than 15.75 Crore (81.36%) households, are reported to have tap water supply in their homes and works for the remaining 3.69 Crore households are at various stages of completion as per saturation plan of the respective State/ UT.
Further, the State of Gujarat has been reported as 'Har Ghar Jal' i.e. 100% rural households having tap water connection. State/ UT-wise details of progress under the Mission, including that of Gujarat, are annexed.
Under JJM, the Department undertakes assessment of the functionality of household tap water connections provided under the Mission, through an independent third-party agency, selected based on standard statistical sampling. Functionality Assessment survey, 2024 was conducted in Har Ghar Jal Villages and the key findings of the report are as under:
· Functionality of Tap connections:
To ensure universal coverage through tap water connection, the Department has evolved a comprehensive multi-level and multi-format system of monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of programme, linking AADHAR of the head of household for targeted delivery and monitoring of specific outcomes, subject to statutory provisions, including geo-tagging of assets created, third-party inspections before making payments, measurement and monitoring of water supply in villages through sensor-based IoT solution on pilot basis, etc.
Further, to expedite the implementation and strengthening the existing monitoring mechanisms under Jal Jeevan Mission aiming at improving efficiency and effectiveness, steps like Village/ District Dashboards and linking Village Level Dashboards to eGramswaraj portal, District Collectors' Peyjal Samvad, Institutionalization of Role of National WASH Experts (NWEs) through IMIS module, Role of TPIAs, strengthened collaboration with line Ministries, Decision Support System for strengthening Source Sustainability, Handbook on Community Managed Piped Water Systems, Unique ID for integrated Piped Water System, etc. have recently been taken up under JJM.
The information was provided by THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI SHRI V. SOMANNA in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
