Modi's Jal Jeevan Mission Provides Water to Millions
India's Jal Jeevan Mission is working to bring clean tap water to homes.
The project, led by PM Modi, has greatly increased the number of households with tap water connections.
Villagers help pay for and maintain the water projects.
The goal is to improve health, save time, and ensure everyone has access to safe water.
Many states are already providing tap water to all their rural households.
The government is allocating substantial funds to this mission, focusing on areas in need.
Jal Jeevan Mission has provided tap water connections to over 15.68 crore rural households in India.
This accounts for 80.98% of all rural households, a significant increase from 17% in 2019.
Eleven states/UTs have achieved 100% tap water connection coverage in rural households.
The 'Nal Se Jal' scheme involves villagers in project costs and maintenance.
The mission aims to avert deaths from diarrhea and save time spent collecting water.
