Jal Jeevan Mission – Har Ghar Jal

The Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) – Har Ghar Jal is a landmark initiative by the Government of India aimed at ensuring clean and safe drinking water for every rural household through universal piped water access. This ambitious mission has significantly improved water security across India, while positively impacting health, sanitation, and gender empowerment in rural communities. From around 3 crore tap water connections in August 2019 to more than 15 crore by August 2024, the Jal Jeevan Mission has been bringing clean tap water to the doorsteps of rural Indians.

UNOPS and Sankala Foundation is organising the release of a report, “Jal Jeevan Mission – Har Ghar Jal: A Study of Access to Clean Tap Water to Every Rural Home in India,” which provides a comprehensive analysis of the mission’s achievements, challenges, and future roadmap.

The event will feature a panel discussion on, “Assured piped water service delivery to every rural home – achievements, challenges and road ahead” chaired by Mr Ashok K K Meena, OSD, DDWS, Government of India. For more details, explore the full report or connect with the Sankala Foundation.
