In a major achievement of the Narendra Modi government, Haryana has become the third state of the country where every family in the rural areas has started getting clean tap water in their homes. Goa and Telangana are the two states which have already achieved this feat apart of the Centre’s Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
Besides these states, three Union Territories (UTs) of Andaman and Nicobar Islands; Puducherry; and Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli have also achieved 100 percent of the ‘Har Ghar Jal’ Mission.
According to sources in the Jal Shakti Ministry, which is steering the Jal Jeevan Mission and is headed by Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, all schools, Anganwadi centers (AWCs), health centers, and the likes in Haryana are also having provision of tap water supply.
