ENSURING TAP WATER FOR ALL

• Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) – Har Ghar Jal: flagship rural drinking-water scheme to provide Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTC) to every rural household.
• Implemented by Ministry of Jal Shakti (Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation) in partnership with States since 15 August 2019.
• Drinking water is a State subject; Centre supplements through technical and financial assistance — examinable federalism angle.
• Now extended to December 2028 with enhanced outlay (JJM 2.0) — key budget-cycle update.
