Summary:

All Indian states and union territories have reached over 50% coverage for rural tap water connections. The Har Ghar Jal project aims to achieve full coverage by the end of the year. Currently, 11 states and union territories, including Goa, Haryana, and Gujarat, have attained 100% coverage. The states with the lowest coverage are West Bengal (52.30%), Rajasthan (52.91%), and Kerala (53.62%).

Out of 19.33 crore rural households, approximately 16.09 crore now have tap water connections. Launched in 2019 as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission, the Har Ghar Jal initiative aims to provide 55 litres of water per person per day by 2024. This initiative is crucial for flood-prone areas like Assam, where climate-adaptive WASH infrastructure is needed. A certification project encourages community involvement in verifying and maintaining tap water coverage.
