Jal Jeevan Mission- Over 5 cr households provided tap water supply

February 01, 2022

As of January 2, 2022, a total of 5,51,93,885 households have been provided with tap water supply since the start of the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in 2019, as per the Economic Survey, 2021-22 tabled in the Parliament.

According to the reports, six states and Union Territories have achieved the coveted status of 100 per cent tap water supply — Goa, Telangana, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Puducherry, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and Haryana. Consistently, 83 districts, 1,016 blocks, 62,749 panchayats and 1,28,893 villages have achieved the 100 per cent tap water supply status.

The status on August 15, 2019, and January 2, 2022, exhibited the impressive rate of progress in providing Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) to households across the country. In 2019, out of about 18.93 crore families in rural areas, around 3.23 crore (17 per cent) families had tap water connections in their homes.

JJM envisions providing adequate safe drinking water through individual household tap connections to all households in rural India by 2024. The goal of the Mission is to enable every rural household to get an assured supply of potable-piped water at a service level of 55 litres per capita per day (lpcd) regularly on a long-term basis and also to ensure the functionality of the tap water connections. The total outlay for the Mission is Rs 3.60 lakh crore.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
