October 28, 2022

Gujarat has been declared as a 100 percent ‘Har Ghar Jal’ state. It means all households in rural areas have access to safe drinking water through taps in the state.
As per the government data, all 91,73,378 houses in the state now have water connections.
Gujarat is now the third big state, after Haryana and Telangana that has now declared completion of the Jal Jeevan Mission.
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.
