Gujarat was declared as a 'Har Ghar Jal' state, meaning all households in rural areas have access to safe drinking water through taps.
As per the government data, all 91,73,378 houses in the state now have water connections.
Jal Jeevan Mission focuses on water service delivery and not just building water supply infrastructure.
The motto of the Jal Jeevan Mission is 'no one is left out', thus ensuring every household irrespective of its socio-economic status, gets tap water supply. Under the scheme, the government plans to provide potable tap water to all the villages in the country by 2024.
Jal Jeevan Mission is a flagship programme of Government of India which was announced from the ramparts of Red Fort by PM Modi on August 15, 2019.
