75% Of All Rural Households Now Have Tap Water: Jal Shakti Minister

Eleven states and Union Territories (UT) have achieved 100 per cent coverage in rural areas, the data showed.

About 75 per cent of the country's rural households have been provided with tap water connections so far, Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said today.

Calling it a "huge milestone", Mr Shekhawat congratulated all states for striving towards the goal.

"A huge milestone in our journey as we cross the 75% mark towards #HarGharJal. Congratulations to all states and team #JalJeevanMission on striving relentlessly towards realising our PM Shri @narendramodi's vision of clean tap water for every household. One tap at a time, we are building a stronger, healthier Bharat," he said in a post on X.
