THE JAL JEEVAN MISSION (JJM), the central government's flagship programme launched in 2019 to provide piped water to all homes, is on track. In the past year, as many as 21.2 million new rural households got water connections, covers about 62 per cent of all rural households, up from 17 per cent when the mission was launched.

Jharkhand (24 per cent) and Lakshadweep (0 per cent) had least coverage in the country.
