5 cr households got water connection under Jal Jeevan Mission since launch in 2019: PM Modi

PM Modi on Saturday said five crore households have got water connection since the launch of the Jal Jeevan Mission in 2009.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said five crore households received water connection and now tap water has been reaching every household in about 1.25 lakh villages since the launch of the Jal Jeevan Mission in 2009.

Asserting that today's India has done more work in just two years than what was done in seven decades, PM Modi said the mission is not just about bringing water to people, but it is also a decentralisation movement that is village and women-driven.
