Panel Questions Authenticity of Data in Jal Jeevan Mission
A government committee is worried about whether the information being used for the Jal Jeevan Mission is correct.
The mission aims to provide everyone with tap water, but the committee thinks some states might be giving incorrect numbers.
They want to double-check the data to ensure the program is working well.
Right now, not all areas have tap water, and the deadline to finish the project has been pushed back.
The committee also mentioned the need for better repair work after pipelines are installed and wants the government to make sure water is clean.
They're also asking to review the amount of money given to build toilets.
Parliamentary panel raises concerns about the authenticity of data in the Jal Jeevan Mission's (JJM) Integrated Management Information System (IMIS).
The committee recommends the Centre institute checks to verify figures uploaded by states.
Only 11 states and Union Territories (UTs) have achieved full household tap water connections since JJM’s launch in 2019.
The government extended the deadline for providing 100 per cent tap water coverage to 2028.
The report also criticized the quality of public infrastructure restoration after pipeline works and urged better coordination.
