India Strives for Universal Safe Drinking Water by 2030 through Jal Jeevan Mission
The Government of India is advancing its goals of providing safe and potable tap water to all rural households by 2030 through the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM). Introduced in 2019, the JJM has drastically increased the number of rural households with tap water connections from 3.23 crore in 2019 to 15.82 crore by March 2026. To combat water quality issues, especially in arsenic and fluoride-affected areas, states are encouraged to install Community Water Purification Plants until compliant piped water systems are developed. Additionally, the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is supporting water projects in urban regions to ensure sustainable water access.
