Jal Jeevan Mission was launched in 2019. It is a flagship programme of Ministry of Jal Shakti, and has set itself an ambitious task of providing safe, adequate, quality drinking water from tap to each and every rural household in India. The major unit to track progress under Jal Jeevan Mission is the implementation of Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs). Since the launch of the mission on 15th August 2019, each State has tried to improve their coverage of rural areas with household tap connections. This approach can be seen in the animation below, which shows the absolute number of FHTCs provided by each State in the period till May 2023.
But it is not important that every State has the same potential of FHTCs right? Like, Telangana stopped performing after reaching their 55 lakh figure. So, it would be better to check what percentage of rural households eligible under JJM have been covered by each State. The below graph shows exactly that.
