Work to start in 100 villages initially
By 2024, every rural household has to be provided with a Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) under the JJM i.e. Har Ghar Nal Se Jal (HGNSJ).
Under this scheme, every household in the villages will be provided with clean drinking water. Automatic data collection and analysis will be done to monitor the scheme and provide better quality service. Digitising the entire water supply system will completely eliminate many problems. The Jal Jeevan Mission project will be launched in 100 villages across the country initially, following the success of which it can then be implemented in other villages.
