New Delhi: On August 15, 2019, PM Narendra Modi announced the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Under this mission, by 2024, there is a target of providing clean drinking water through pipes to every household in the country. Under this Jal Jeevan Mission, a big achievement has been achieved by providing tap water to more than 12 crore rural houses. At the time of the announcement of this mission, out of 19.27 crore households across the country, only 3.23 crore i.e. only 17 percent houses had water connections.
