Jharkhand's Jal Jeevan Mission Faces Implementation Challenges
Jharkhand is working to provide tap water to everyone through the Jal Jeevan Mission, which started in 2019.
They've connected over 3.4 million homes, but millions more still need water.
The government is pushing to finish the project by 2028.
They are checking on the progress and making sure things are done correctly, including addressing delays.
They're also watching out for issues like payments made before projects are complete, aiming to improve the process and ensure everyone has access to clean water.
Over 3.4 million rural households in Jharkhand have tap water connections under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
Nearly 2.8 million households in the state are still without tap water connections.
The Chief Secretary of Jharkhand held a review meeting to address implementation delays.
The state aims for universal household tap water coverage by December 2028.
The Chief Secretary expressed concern over incomplete projects receiving full payments.
